BFC Financial Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

1.    Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“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  consolidated financial condition of BFC at September 30, 2013; the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income of BFC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; the consolidated cash flows of BFC for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; and changes in consolidated equity of BFC for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and 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, 2012.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As used throughout this document, the term “fair value” reflects the Company’s estimate of fair value as discussed herein. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

BFC is a Florida-based holding company whose principal holdings include an approximately 52% equity interestin BBX Capital Corporation (formerly BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (“BBX Capital”) anda 54% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), which owns 100% of Bluegreen Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bluegreen”).  Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and management company primarily focused on the hospitality and vacation ownership industries. BBX Capital is a Florida-based company involved in the ownership, financing, acquisition, development and management of real estate, and real estate joint ventures and investments in middle market operating businesses.  BBX Capital holds the remaining 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.  BFC also holds interests in other investments and subsidiaries as described herein and previously held a significant investment in Benihana Inc. (“Benihana”) until the acquisition of Benihana by Safflower Holdings Corp. (“Safflower”) during August 2012. The Company reports the results of its continuing operations through four segments: Real Estate Operations; Bluegreen Resorts; BBX; and Florida Asset Resolution Group (“FAR”).

GAAP requires that BFC consolidate the financial results of the entities in which it has controlling interests, including BBX Capital, Woodbridge and Bluegreen. 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 BBX Capital, Woodbridge, and Bluegreen, 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 (and, in the case of Bluegreen, a subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge). The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the total percent of economic ownership in those entities. At September 30, 2013, BFC had an approximately 52% economic ownership interest in BBX Capital (excluding, for purposes of calculating the total amount of BBX Capital’s outstanding stock, restricted shares issued by BBX Capital to its officers which were unvested as of September 30, 2013).

As discussed below, BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Tax Certificates, and Capital Services components are recorded as discontinued operations as a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic, BBX Capital’s former banking subsidiary, to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”) during July 2012.  Discontinued operations of BFC also include the results of Bluegreen Communities, substantially all of the assets of which were sold by Bluegreen during May 2012, and Cypress Creek Holdings, LLC (“Cypress Creek Holdings”). See Note 3 forfurther discussion of discontinued operations.

BFC and BBX Capital- Acquisition of Renin Corporation

On October 30, 2013, Renin Holdings LLC, a newly formed joint venture entity beneficially owned 81% by BBX Capital and 19% by BFC, through newly formed acquisition subsidiaries (Renin Holdings LLC and its acquisition subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”) acquired substantially all of the assets of Renin

Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Sellers”), manufacturers of interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products, for approximately $14.6 million (the “Renin Acquisition”).  The $14.6 million transaction consideration is subject to certain potential post-closing adjustments based on the Sellers’ working capital as of the closing and certain contractually provided Seller indemnities.  At the closing, approximately $1.7 million of the transaction consideration was placed in escrow pending final determination of the working capital adjustment, if any, and final resolution of any indemnification obligations of the Sellers.  Bluegreen Specialty Finance, LLC, a subsidiary of Bluegreen, funded approximately $9.4 million of the transaction consideration in a term loan and revolver facility (the “Renin Loan”).  The Renin Loan includes a$3.0 million term loan and provides for additional borrowings of up to $9 million on a revolving basis ($6.4 million of which was drawn upon at the closing), subject to the terms of a borrowing basis specified in the Renin Loan.  Amounts outstanding under the  Renin Loan bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Purchasers.  All amounts outstanding under the Renin Loan will, unless extended, become due on April 30, 2014.The balance of the transaction consideration of $5.2 million was funded approximately $4.2 million by BBX Capital and approximately $1.0 million by BFC in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin Holdings LLC.  The transaction consideration was used to satisfy certain of the Sellers’ outstanding debt and other liabilities, obligations and expenses.

The acquired assets include, among other things, inventory, trade accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment, and intellectual property and other intangible assets with an estimated carrying value, subject to adjustment, of $23 million.  In addition to acquiring the assets, approximately $9.0 million of certain trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the Sellers, which represent ordinary course business obligations incurred by the Sellers prior to the closing and certain accrued employee benefits, were assumed in the Renin Acquisition.  Additionally, the Purchasers offered employment to the Sellers’ current employees on substantially the same terms as in effect prior to the closing.

BBX Capital-Catalfumo Settlement Agreement

In June 2013, BBX Capital Asset Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BBX Capital (“CAM”), entered into a settlement agreement with respect to litigation between CAM and Daniel S. Catalfumo and certain members of his family and affiliated entities (collectively, “Catalfumo”) relating to the Company’s lending relationship with Catalfumo. The agreement was amended on October 21, 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the amended settlement agreement, Catalfumo has agreed to pay CAM $30 million in cash, of which $22 million was paid to BBX Capital on November 4, 2013.The receipt by BBX Capital of the $22 million cash payment will result in a gain of approximately $22 million in the 2013 fourth quarter.  The remaining $8 million payment plus accrued interest is anticipated to be repaid during the fourth quarter of 2013 and is due no later than April 10, 2014.  Interest on such $8 million payment will accrue at a rate of 24.95% per annum commencing on December 3, 2013. Catalfumo also agreed to transfer to CAM certain properties with an aggregate carrying value of $10.3 million as of September 30, 2013.  There is no assurance that Catalfumo will make the remaining agreed upon payment and transfer in accordance with the terms of the amended settlement agreement.  If Catalfumo does not comply with the terms of the settlement agreement, CAM will proceed with its litigation against Catalfumo.

Restricted Stock Grants

On October 7, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company’ Board of Directors approved restricted stock awards for certain of the Company’s executive officers (the “2013 RSAs”).  The 2013 RSAs were or are expected to be granted under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and relate to a total of 892,224 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.  410,000 of the 2013 RSAs  weregranted on October 7, 2013.  The remainder of the 2013 RSAs (the “Balance RSAs”), are subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for grant thereunder in an amount at least equal to the number of shares subject to the Balance RSAs.  The Company currently expects to seek shareholder approval of such amendment to the Plan at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 

BBX Capital Merger Agreement

On May 7, 2013, BFC, BBX Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of BFC (“BBX Merger Sub”), and BBX Capital entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement BBX Capital will merge with and into BBX Merger Sub, with BBX Merger Sub continuing as the surviving companyand a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, BBX Capital’s shareholders (other than BFC and shareholders of BBX Capital who exercise and perfect their appraisal rights in accordance with Florida law) will be entitled to receive 5.39 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in

11

exchange for each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that they hold at the effective time of the merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).  Each option to acquire shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that is outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable, will be converted into an option to acquire shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the option will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price of the option will be divided by the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock subject to a restricted stock award outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into a restricted share of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares subject to the award will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  Consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective shareholders, BFC’s Class A Common Stock being approved for listing on a national securities exchange (or interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association) at the effective time of the merger, holders of not more than 10% of BBX Capital’s Common Stock exercising appraisal rights, and the absence of any “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to either BFC or BBX Capital.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors of either BFC or BBX Capital may, in its discretion, choose to waive any of the conditions to consummation of the merger and proceed to closing. BFC has agreed in the merger agreement to vote all of the shares of BBX Capital’s Common Stock that it owns in favor of the merger agreement, which would constitute the requisite approval of the merger agreement by BBX Capital’s shareholders under Florida law. There is no assurance that the merger will be consummated on the currently contemplated terms or at all.

A consolidated purported class action lawsuit is pending in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida which seeks to enjoin the merger or, if it is completed, to recover relief as determined by the presiding court. BFC and BBX Capital believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.  See Note 10 for additional information regarding this litigation.

The Bluegreen Merger

On April 2, 2013, Bluegreen merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge in a cash merger transaction (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Bluegreen merger” or the “Bluegreen cash merger”).  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge) received consideration of $10.00 in cash for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the merger, including unvested restricted shares. In addition, each option to acquire shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, was canceled in exchange for a cash payment to the holder in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the $10.00 per share merger consideration over the exercise price per share of the option. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $149.2 million.  As a result of the merger, Bluegreen, which was the surviving corporation of the merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.  Prior to the merger, Woodbridge owned approximately 54% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock.

In connection with the financing of the merger, BFC and Woodbridge entered into a Purchase Agreement with BBX Capital on April 2, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge contemporaneously with the closing of the merger in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. BFC continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests. BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge consisted of $60 million in cash, which was utilized to pay a portion of the aggregate merger consideration, and a promissory note in Woodbridge’s favor in the principal amount of $11.75 million.  The note has a term of five years, accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provides for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the note, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term. During the second and third quarters of 2013, BBX Capital paid to Woodbridge a total of approximately $294,000 of interest on the note.  In connection with BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, BFC and BBX Capital entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides for, among other things, unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions by Woodbridge to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective percentage equity interests in Woodbridge. During the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid a total of $38 million in cash dividends to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Woodbridge declared and paid cash dividends totaling $36.1 million, which were allocated pro rata to BFC and BBX Capital based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge ($19.5 million to BFC and $16.6 million to BBX Capital).

12

On March 26, 2013, Bluegreen issued $75 million of senior secured notes (the “2013 Notes Payable”) in a private transaction, the proceeds of which, together with approximately $14 million of Bluegreen’s unrestricted cash, were utilized in connection with the funding of the $149.2 million merger consideration indicated above. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the 2013 Notes Payable.

Two consolidated class action lawsuits relating to the merger remain pending.  The plaintiffs in these actions have asserted that the consideration received by Bluegreen’s minority shareholders in the merger was inadequate and unfair, and are seeking to recover damages in connection with the merger. The Company believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.  See Note 10 for additional information regarding these actions.

Sale of BankAtlantic

On July 31, 2012, BBX Capital completed the sale to BB&T of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BankAtlantic, the former wholly-owned banking subsidiary of BBX Capital (the stock sale and related transactions are referred to in this report as the “BankAtlantic Sale” or the “BB&T Transaction”). The BankAtlantic Sale was consummated pursuant to the terms of a definitive agreement, dated November 1, 2011, between BBX Capital and BB&T, as amended on March 13, 2012 (the “BB&T Agreement”). The March 13, 2012 amendment amended the previously contemplated terms of the transaction to, among other things, provide for the assumption by BB&T of BBX Capital’s $285.4 million in principal amount of then-outstanding trust preferred securities (“TruPS”) obligations. 

Pursuant to the BB&T Agreement, prior to the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BankAtlantic formed two subsidiaries, CAM and FAR. BankAtlantic contributed to FAR certain performing and non-performing loans, tax certificates, and real estate owned that had an aggregate carrying value on BankAtlantic’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of approximately $346 million as of July 31, 2012 (the date the BB&T Transaction was consummated). FAR assumed all liabilities related to these assets. BankAtlantic also contributed approximately $50 million in cash to FAR on July 31, 2012 and thereafter distributed all of the membership interests in FAR to BBX Capital.  At the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BBX Capital transferred to BB&T 95% of the outstanding preferred membership interests in FAR in connection with BB&T’s assumption of BBX Capital’s then-outstanding approximately $285 million of TruPS obligations.  BBX Capital continues to hold the remaining 5% of FAR’s preferred membership interests.  BB&T will hold its 95% preferred interest in the net cash flows of FAR until such time as it has recovered $285 million in preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum on any unpaid preference amount. At that time, BB&T’s interest in FAR will terminate, and BBX Capital will thereafter own 100% ofFAR through its ownership of FAR’s Class R units.  BBX Capital entered into an incremental $35 million guarantee in BB&T’s favor to further assure BB&T’s recovery of the $285 million preferred interest within seven years.  At September 30, 2013, BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR was approximately $110.6 million. In November 2013, FAR entered into a settlement agreement with a borrower providing for the payment of $23.3 million by a borrower in satisfaction of the borrower’s loan obligations.  The recorded investment on these loan obligations was $12.4 million as of September 30, 2013. The agreement requires the borrower to pay the funds to FAR during the fourth quarter of 2013.  However, there is no assurance that the borrower will make the agreed upon payment at the time or in the amount required by the settlement agreement, if at all.  Any receipt of funds by FAR would be utilized to pay FAR’s operating expenses and pay down the preferred membership interests in FAR in accordance with the terms of FAR’s operating agreement.

Prior to the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BankAtlantic contributed to CAM certain commercial loans, commercial real estate owned and previously written off assets that had an aggregate carrying value on BankAtlantic’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of $125 million as of July 31, 2012. CAM assumed all liabilities related to these assets.  BankAtlantic also contributed $82 million of cash to CAM on July 31, 2012.  Prior to the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BankAtlantic distributed all of the membership interests in CAM to BBX Capital.  CAM remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital.

BankAtlantic’s historical Community Banking, Investment, Capital Services and Tax Certificate reporting units are reflected as “Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 3 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.  BBX Capital has continued to service and manage commercial loans following the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T and may originate commercial loans in the future. As a result, the historical operations for BankAtlantic’s commercial lending reporting unit are included in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations as continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The Consolidated Statement of

13

Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows remain unchanged from the historical presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Sale of Bluegreen Communities

On May 4, 2012, Bluegreen sold substantially all of the assets that comprised its former residential communities business, Bluegreen Communities, to Southstar Development Partners, Inc. (“Southstar”) for a purchase price of $29.0 million in cash.  Southstar also agreed to pay an amount equal to 20% of the net proceeds (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement) of its sale, if any, of two specified parcels of real estate purchased by Southstar under the agreement.  Southstar sold one of the parcels during 2012 and paid to Bluegreen the proceeds to which it was entitled, which were insignificant.  Assets excluded from the sale included primarily Bluegreen’s Communities notes receivable portfolio.  Bluegreen Communities is classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  See Note 3for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Acquisition of Benihana by Safflower

BFC held a significant investment in Benihana until Safflower acquired Benihana for a cash purchase price of $16.30 per outstanding share of Benihana’s common stockin August 2012.  BFC received approximately $24.5 million in exchange for the 1,505,330 shares of Benihana’s common stock that it held at the effective time of the transaction.

Prior to Safflower’s acquisition of Benihana, BFC sold approximately 77,000 shares of Benihana’s common stock during July and August 2012 pursuant to the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan and received net proceeds from such sales of approximately $1.25 million.

BFC recognized a gain on sale of approximately $9.3 million in connection with its sales of shares of Benihana’s common stock during July and August 2012 and the disposition of its remaining shares of Benihana’s common stock pursuant to the merger between Benihana and Safflower during August 2012. In addition, during each of the first three quarters of 2012, BFC received approximately $127,000 of dividend payments with respect to the shares of Benihana’s common stock which BFC owned at that time.

2.    Liquidity

BFC

Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BBX Capital, Woodbridge and Bluegreen 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 (and, in the case of Bluegreen, a subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge). BFC’s principal sources of liquidity are its available cash and short-term investments anddividends from its subsidiaries.  BFC expects to receive dividends from Woodbridge which will be utilized to fund its current and future operations and investments.  However, as described below, dividend paymentsare dependent on a number of factors and may be subject to certain limitations outside of BFC’s control.

We expect to use our available funds to fund operations and meet our obligations.  We may also use available funds to make additional investments in the companies within our consolidated group, invest in real estate based opportunities and middle market operating businesses,  such as the investment we made in Renin during October 2013, invest in equity securities and/or repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. On September 21, 2009, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $10 million.  The share repurchase program replaced our $10 million repurchase program that our board of directors approved in October 2006 which placed a limitation on the number of shares which could be repurchased under the program at 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.  The programauthorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors considered by management.There were no shares repurchased under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or year ended December 31, 2012.

BFC has not received cash dividends from BBX Capital since March 2009. Prior to its deregistration as a savings and loan holding company following the sale of BankAtlantic, the payment of dividends by BBX Capital was

14

subject to the oversight of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and was restricted by the terms of the indentures governing its TruPS due to BBX Capital’s deferral of interest payments thereunder.  While these restrictions no longer apply, BBX Capital has disclosed that it expects to utilize its available cash to pursue opportunities in accordance with its business and investment strategies and has no current plans to pay cash dividends to its shareholders.  BBX Capital will only pay dividends if and when declared by its board of directors, a majority of whom are independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE.

Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which could limit the payment of cash dividends and Bluegreen may only pay dividends subject to such restrictions as well as the declaration of dividends by its board of directors, a majority of whom were independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE prior to the Bluegreen merger on April 2, 2013.   In addition, as a result of the Bluegreen merger, Woodbridge, as the parent company of Bluegreen, is entitled to 100% of all dividends paid by Bluegreen and any subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge requires the approval of the boards of directors of both BBX Capital and BFC, which own 46% and 54%, respectively, of Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid cash dividends totaling $38 million to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Woodbridge declared and paid cash dividends totaling of $36.1 million, which were allocated pro rata to BFC and BBX Capital based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge ($19.5 million to BFC and $16.6 million to BBX Capital).

During each of the first three quarters of 2012, BFC received approximately $127,000 of dividend payments with respect to the shares of Benihana’s common stock that BFC owned at that time.  As previously described, BFC received a total of approximately $25.75 million pursuant to open market sales of Benihana’s common stock and in exchange for its remaining interest in Benihana’s common stock in connection with Safflower’s acquisition of Benihana during the third quarter of 2012. 

We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from other sources of funds, including potential dividends from Woodbridge, will allow us to meet our anticipated near-term liquidity needs. If those sources of funds are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we might seek to liquidate some of our investments or fund operations with the proceeds from additional equity or debt financings. With respect to long-term liquidity requirements, in addition to the foregoing, we may alsoseek to raise funds through the incurrence of long-term secured or unsecured indebtedness. However, these alternatives may not be available to us on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise funds through the sources discussed above would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Woodbridge

Woodbridge, at its parent company level, had cash and cash equivalents totaling $557,000at September 30, 2013.  Woodbridge’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash holdings and dividend distributions received from Bluegreen.  As previously described, during the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid a total of $38 million in cash dividends to Woodbridge, and Woodbridge subsequently paid a total of $36.1 million in cash dividends to its members, BFC and BBX Capital, based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge. 

On September 21, 2009, BFC consummated its merger with Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (“WHC”). Pursuant to the merger, WHC merged with and into Woodbridge, and the shareholders of WHC at the effective time of the merger (other than BFC) were entitled to receive 3.47 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of WHC’s Class A Common Stock that they owned.  Under Florida law, holders of WHC’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve the merger 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 WHC’s Class A Common Stock, rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of WHC’s Class A Common Stock. In accordance with Florida law, Woodbridge thereafter commenced legal proceedings relating to the appraisal process.  In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded based on Woodbridge’s $1.10 per share offer to the Dissenting Holders, with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital.  On July 5, 2012, the presiding court in the appraisal rights action determined the fair value of the Dissenting Holders’ shares to be $1.78 per share and awarded legal and other costs in favor of the Dissenting Holders. As a result, the $4.6 million liability was increased to approximately $7.5 million (with a corresponding reduction to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million)during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to account for the per share value awarded.  On March 11, 2013, the court awarded legal fees and pre and post judgment interest to the Dissenting Holders for a total award to

15

the Dissenting Holders of approximately $11.9 million (including the $7.5 million based on the $1.78 per share value determination).  As a result, the liability was increased by approximately $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. Woodbridge has appealed the court’s ruling with respect to its fair value determination and the award of legal fees and costs.  On April 5, 2013, Woodbridge posted a $13.4 million bond in connection with the appeal. The outcome of the appeal is uncertain.

Bluegreen

Bluegreen believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or proposed credit facilities and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under the purchase facilities and one or more replacement facilities Bluegreen may seek to put in place will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements, including the payment of Bluegreen’s contractual obligations, for the foreseeable future, subject to the successful implementation of ongoing strategic initiatives and the ongoing availability of credit. Bluegreen will continue its efforts to renew, extend, or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term.  Bluegreen may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue corporate debt securities or enter into joint ventures with third parties. If Bluegreen is unable to sell notes receivable or borrow under existing or new facilities, Bluegreen’s ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.

Carolina Oak

In 2007, Woodbridge’s predecessor acquired from Levitt and Sons, LLC (“Levitt and Sons”), its subsidiary at the time, all of the outstanding membership interests in Carolina Oak, LLC (“Carolina Oak”).  Carolina Oak engaged in homebuilding activities in South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Woodbridge was the obligor under a $37.2 million loan collateralized by certain property owned by Carolina Oak.  During 2009, the lender declared the loan to be in default and filed an action for foreclosure.  On April 26, 2011, a settlement agreement was entered into to resolve the disputes and litigation relating to the loan. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the settlement agreement, (i) Woodbridge paid $2.5 million to the note holder, (ii) Carolina Oak conveyed to the note holder the real property securing the loan and (iii) the note holder agreed not to pursue certain remedies, including a deficiency judgment, and after the expiration of an agreed-upon time period (which expired during April 2012), to fully release Woodbridge and Carolina Oak. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a deferred gain on debt settlement of $29.9 million was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2011 and was recognized as income in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as a result of the full release of Woodbridge and Carolina Oak in April 2012.

BBX Capital

BBX Capital had cash of$18.4 million as of September 30, 2013, which does not include $6.9 million of cash held in FAR.  BBX Capital had $9.1 million of current liabilities as of September 30, 2013.  BBX Capital’s principal source of liquidity is its cash holdings, funds obtained from payments on and sales of its loans, loan payoffs, sales of real estate owned, income from income producing real estate, and distributions received from FAR and Woodbridge. While FAR is consolidated in BBX Capital’s financial statements, the cash held in FAR and generated by its assets will be used primarily to pay FAR’s operating expenses and to pay BB&T’s 95% preferred membership interest and the related priority return and will generally not be available for distribution to BBX Capital.  Once BB&T receives such amount, BBX Capital will be the owner of all of FAR’s ownership interests.  The balance of BB&T’s preferred membership interest in FAR was approximately $110.6 million at September 30, 2013.  Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, BBX Capital expects to be able to meet its liquidity needs over the next twelve months.

Bluegreen Communities 

In May 2012, Bluegreen sold substantially all of the assets that comprised Bluegreen Communities to Southstar for a purchase price of $29.0 million in cash. Certain assets, including primarily Bluegreen Communities’ notes receivable portfolio, were not sold to Southstar.

Discontinued operations set forth in the table above include interest expense primarily on Bluegreen’s H4BG Communities Facility as certain of the assets classified as held for sale (and which were sold to Southstar as part of the Bluegreen Communities sale) served as collateral under this facility.

17

Cypress Creek Holdings

During January 2012, Cypress Creek Holdings sold the office building it owned for approximately $10.8 million. The building, which was classified as an asset held for sale as of December 31, 2011, served as collateral for an approximately $11.2 million mortgage loan. The proceeds of the sale plus a $668,000 payment made by Cypress Creek Holdings were paid to the lender in full satisfaction of the loan. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $4.4 million in connection with the sale during the first quarter of 2012.

BBX Capital

Sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T

BankAtlantic’s five reporting units each reflected a component of the BankAtlantic entity and was the lowest level for which cash flows could be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes.  These five components were Community Banking, Commercial Lending, Tax Certificates, Investments, and Capital Services.  Based on the terms of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T, BBX Capital determined that the Community Banking, Investments, Capital Services and Tax Certificates reporting units should be treated as discontinued operations.  BBX Capital sold all operations and the majority of the assets and liabilities of these discontinued reporting units to BB&T upon the consummation of the BB&T Transaction on July 31, 2012. BBX Capital’s management does not intend to continue in any material respect any activities of or have any continuing involvement with these reporting units. Although certain assets of the Commercial Lending reporting unit were sold to BB&T, BBX Capital has continued Commercial Lending reporting unit activities resulting in BBX Capital including the Commercial Lending reporting unit in continuing operations in the statements of operations.  

Pursuant to the sale to BB&T, in addition to certain assets associated with BBX Capital’s continuing Commercial Lending reporting unit, FAR also retained certain assets and liabilities that were associated with BBX Capital’s disposed reporting units (Community Banking, Tax Certificates, Investments, and Capital Services reporting units).  BBX Capital determined that the ongoing cash flows relating to the retained assets of the disposed reporting units expected in future periods were not significant relative to the historical cash flows from the activities of each reporting unit; therefore, the income and expenses associated with the disposed reporting units are reported in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The results of operations and cash flows associated with the retained assets associated with the disposed reporting units were included in continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Liabilities on a non-recurring basis

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Loans Measured For Impairment

Impaired loans are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell. The fair value of BBX Capital’s loans may significantly increase or decrease based on changes in property values as its loans are primarily secured by real estate.  BBX Capital 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 BBX Capital may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, BBX Capital uses its judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. BBX Capital generally recognizes impairment losses on homogenous loans based on third party broker price opinions or automated valuation services when impaired homogenous loans become 120 days delinquent. These third party valuations from real estate professionals also use Level 3 inputs in determining fair values. The observable market inputs used to fair value loans include comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties, risk adjusted discount rates and foreclosure time frames and exposure periods. As a consequence, the calculation of the fair value of the collateral is considered Level 3 inputs.

Impaired Real Estate Owned

Real estate owned is generally valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties.  The market observable data typically consists of comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties and risk adjusted discount rates. However, the appraisers or brokers use professional judgment in determining the fair value of the properties and BBX Capital may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. As a consequence of using appraisals, broker price opinions and adjustments to appraisals, the fair values of the properties are considered Level 3 inputs.    

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are valued using an income approach with Level 3 inputs as market quotes or sale transactions of similar loans are generally not available.  The fair value is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in the loans held for sale portfolio.  For non-performing loans held for sale, the forecasted cash flows are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell adjusted for foreclosure expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until foreclosure or sale.

Management of each of the respective companies 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, the fair value of certain of these financial instruments has been derived using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs. Estimates used in net present value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is unknown and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. These fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates.  As such, the estimated value upon sale or disposition of the asset may not be received and the estimated value upon disposition of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturitymay not be paid.

Interest-bearing deposits in banks include $0.5 million of certificates of deposits guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) with maturities of less than one year as of December 31, 2012. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short-term maturity of these certificates of deposit, the fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.

The fair value of tax certificates was calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs.  The fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that take into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments. 

Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into performing and non-performing categories.  The fair value of BBX Capital’s 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 fair value of non-performing collateral dependent loans is estimated using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value of non-performing loans utilizes the fair value of the collateral adjusted for operating and selling expenses and discounted over the estimated holding period. 

BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR is considered an adjustable rate debt security.  The fair value of this security is calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs and was obtained by discounting forecasted cash flows by risk adjusted market interest rate spreads to the LIBOR swap curve.  The market spreads were obtained from reference data in the secondary institutional market place. 

The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on the contractual cash flows discounted at a market rate or based on market price quotes from the over-the-counter bond market.

The fair value of Bluegreen’s notes receivable is estimated using Level 3 inputs and is based on estimated future cash flows considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market rate. 

The amounts reported in the consolidated statement of financial position relating to Bluegreen’s notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings, including receivable-backed notes payable, that provide for variable interest ratesapproximate the estimated fair values.  The fair value of Bluegreen’s fixed rate receivable-backed notes payable was determined using Level 3 inputs by discounting the net cash outflows estimated to be used to repay the debt.  These obligations are to be satisfied using the proceeds from the consumer loans that secure the obligations.  The fair value of BBX Capital’s notes payable is measured using the income approach with Level 3 inputs and was obtained by discounting the forecasted cash flows based on risk adjusted market interest rates.

During the first quarter of 2012, BBX Capital charged down its recorded investment of loans by $66.5 million to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell based on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) guidance to thrifts regarding valuation allowances on collateral dependent loans. This charge down consisted entirely of the charging off of existing specific valuation allowances. As a specific valuation allowance was previously established for these loans, the charge-offs did not impact BBX Capital’s provision for loan losses or net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2012, but did reduce BBX Capital’s allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in the loans.

Impaired Loans – Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, BBX Capital believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan

For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructured agreement.  Impairment is evaluated based on past due status for consumer and residential loans.  Impairment is evaluated as part of BBX Capital’s on-going credit monitoring process for commercial loans which results in the evaluation for impairment of substandard loans.  Factors considered in determining if a loan is impaired are past payment history, strength of the borrower or guarantors, and cash flow associated with the collateral or business.  If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing interest rate or based on the fair value of the loan. Collateral dependent impaired loans are charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell. Interest payments on impaired loans for all loan classes are recognized on a cash basis, unless collectability of the principal and interest amount is probable, in which case interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Impaired loans without specific valuation allowances represent loans that were written-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, loans in which the collateral value less cost to sell was greater than the carrying value of the loan, loans in which the present value of the cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rate were equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loans, or large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that were collectively measured for impairment.

31

BBX Capital monitors impaired collateral dependent loans and performs an impairment analysis on these loans quarterly. Generally, a full appraisal is obtained when a non-homogeneous real estate loan is initially evaluated for impairment and an updated full appraisal is obtained within one year from the prior appraisal date, or earlier if management deems it appropriate based on significant changes in market conditions.  In instances where a property is in the process of foreclosure, an updated appraisal may be postponed beyond one year, as an appraisal is required on the date of foreclosure; however, such loans remain subject to quarterly impairment analyses and adjustments.  Included in total impaired loans as of September 30, 2013 were $90.9 million of collateral dependent loans, of which $87.5 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and $3.4 million were measured by adjusting appraisals, as appropriate, to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date.  The loans that did not have current appraisals were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $0.8 million based on changes in market conditions.  

Credit Quality Information

BBX Capital monitors delinquency trends, net charge-off levels,  levels of impaired loans, current loan to value ratios, credit scores and general economic conditionsin an effort to assess loan credit quality.  BBX Capital assesses commercial loan credit quality through accrual and non-accrual loan classifications.  Commercial loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the full payment of the loan’s principal and interest is in doubt, which may be due to factors including material deterioration of conditions surrounding the principal source of repayment, insufficient borrower capacity to service the debt, significantly delayed property sales or development schedules, declines in the loan-to-value ratio of the loan’s collateral or delinquencies greater than ninety days.  Accruing commercial loans are generally loans in which BBX Capital’s management believes that it is probable that BBX Capital will collect loan payments in accordance with the contractual or modified contractual terms of the loan.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules, extending loan maturities, deferring loan payments until the loan maturity date and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. The majority of concessions for consumer loans have involved changing monthly payments from interest and principal payments to interest only payments or deferring several monthly loan payments until the loan maturity date.  Commercial real estate and non-real estate loan concessions were primarily interest rate reductions to below market interest rates and extensions of maturity dates based on the risk profile of the loan.  Residential and small business loan concessions primarily have involved reductions of monthly payments through extensions of the amortization period and/or deferral of monthly payments.

Consumer and residential troubled debt restructured loans had no financial statement effect as the affected loans were generally on non-accrual status and measured for impairment before the restructuring. The financial statement effects of commercial and small business troubled debt restructured loans was the establishment of specific valuation allowances, if any, in place of the general allowance for those loans that had not already been placed on

33

nonaccrual status. There was an impact to the allowance for loan losses associated with loans for which concessions were made, as the concessions generally resulted from the expectation of slower future cash flows.

There were no troubled debt restructurings during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012, BBX Capital modified two non-real-estate small business loans with a recorded investment of $296,000 in a troubled debt restructuring.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, two small business real estate loans, two small business non-real estate loans, one consumer loan and one residential amortizing loan with recorded investments of $342,000, $296,000, $47,000 and $62,000, respectively, were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

There were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings since January 1, 2012 that experienced a payment default during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.  There was one residential commercial real estate loan and two other commercial real estate loans with a recorded investment of $6.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively that were modified in troubled debt restructurings since January 1, 2011 that experienced a payment default during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  There were two residential amortizing loans, two residential interest only loans, one residential commercial real estate loan and two other commercial real estate loans with recorded investments of $177,000, $247,000, $6.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively, that were modified in troubled debt restructurings since January 1, 2011 that experienced a payment default during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Loans held for sale

BBX Capital’s loans held for sale as of September 30, 2013 consisted of $12.9 million of small business loans and $3.2 million of commercial real estate loans.  BBX Capital’s loans held for sale as of December 31, 2012 consisted of $18.8 million of small business loans and $6.0 million of commercial real estate loans.

The table above includes notes receivable deemed to have been acquired by BFC, indirectly through Woodbridge, in connection with Woodbridge’s November 2009 acquisition of approximately 7.4 million additional shares of Bluegreen’s Common Stock, which resulted in BFC, indirectly through Woodbridge, holding a controlling interest in Bluegreen. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”, BFC elected to recognize interest income on these notes receivable using the expected cash flows method. BFC treated expected prepayments consistently in determining cash flows expected to be collected, such that the non-accretable difference was not affected and the difference between actual prepayments and expected prepayments will not affect the non-accretable difference.  The assumption for prepayment rates was derived from Bluegreen’s historical performance information for its off-balance sheet securitizations and ranges from 4% to 9%.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding contractual unpaid principal balance of the acquired notes was $120.7 million and $150.1 million, respectively. During June 2013, management revised its assumptions used in the calculation of cash flows expected to be collected on the acquired notes resulting in a $5.7 million impairment charge which was recorded as a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the acquired notes was $106.8 million (net of a valuation allowance of $5.7 million) and $135.4 million, respectively.

35

The carrying amount of the acquired notes is included in the balance sheet amounts of notes receivable at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The following is a reconciliation of accretable yield as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

		For the Nine	For the Twelve
		Months Ended	Months Ended
Accretable Yield		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
Balance, beginning of period	$	54,170	74,526
Accretion		(13,341)	(22,168)
Reclassification (to) from nonaccretable yield		(6,068)	1,812
Balance, end of  period	$	34,761	54,170

The weighted-average interest rate on Bluegreen’s notes receivable was 15.7% and15.5% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  All of Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable bear interest at fixed rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on loans secured by VOIs was 15.8% and 15.6%  as ofSeptember 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The majority of Bluegreen’s notes receivable secured by homesites bear interest at variable rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on notes receivable secured by homesites was 7.7% as ofboth September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Bluegreen’s notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses.  Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all of Bluegreen’s delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than three months contractually past due and not resumed until such loans are less than three months past due.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $10.9 million and $12.1 million, respectively, of the VOI notes receivable were more than three months past due, and accordingly, consistent with Bluegreen’s policy, were not accruing interest income.Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable that are approximately 120 days past due are generally charged off as uncollectible.

Credit Quality for Financial Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Bluegreen holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables. In estimating future credit losses, Bluegreen does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a combination of factors, including a static pool analysis, the aging of the respective receivables, current default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, and the FICO® scores of the borrowers at the time of origination.

The table below sets forth the activity in Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses (including homesite notes receivable) during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

		September 30,
		2013	2012

(2) Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable that areapproximately 120 days past due are generally charged off as uncollectible and once charged off are not included in the table.

7.    Variable Interest Entities

Bluegreen

Bluegreen sells VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen, with the exception of one securitization transaction (the Legacy Securitization) entered into in 2010 which was guaranteed by Bluegreen (See Note 9 of this report and Note 19 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in BFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for further information regarding the Legacy Securitization). These transactions are generally designed to provide liquidity for Bluegreen and transfer the economic risks and certain of the benefits of the notes receivable to third-parties.  In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities that are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable. Bluegreen services the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties based on market conditions at the time of the securitizations.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, Bluegreen analyzes its variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, 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 bases its qualitative analysis on the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. Bluegreen also uses qualitative analysis to determine if Bluegreen must consolidate a variable interest entity as the primary beneficiary.  In accordance with applicable accounting guidance currently in effect, Bluegreen has determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which Bluegreen is the primary beneficiary and,therefore, consolidates the entities into its financial statements.  As previously described, BFC consolidates Bluegreen and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs into BFC’s financial statements.

Under the terms of certain of Bluegreen’s timeshare note sales, Bluegreen has the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes receivable for new notes receivable at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest or, in some facilities, at 24% of the original sale price associated with the VOI which collateralizes the defaulted notes receivable.  Voluntary repurchases and substitutions by Bluegreen of defaulted notes receivable during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 were $5.4 millionand $8.2 million, respectively. Bluegreen’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the associated notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

37

The restricted cash and the securitized notes receivable balances set forth above are restricted to satisfy obligations of the VIEs.

BBX Capital

In consideration for BB&T assuming BBX Capital’s  $285.4 million in principal amount of TruPS, BB&T received from BBX Capital at the closing of the BB&T Transaction a 95% preferred membership interest in the net cash flows of FAR until such time as it has recovered $285 million in preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum.  At that time, BB&T’s interest in FAR will terminate, and BBX Capital, which initially holds a 5% preferred membership interest in the net cash flows of FAR, will thereafter own 100% of FAR.   BBX Capital provided BB&T with an incremental $35 million guarantee to further assure BB&T’s recovery of the $285 million preference amount within seven years.  At September 30, 2013, BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR had been reduced to approximately $110.6 million. 

BBX Capital’s variable interests in FAR include its 5%  preferred membership interest in the cash flows of FAR, rights to 100% ownership of FAR and the incremental $35 million guarantee in favor of BB&T.  BBX Capital also services approximately $15.9 million of FAR’s commercial loans, $12.7million of FAR’s properties and equipment and $9.7million of FAR’s real estate owned.  BBX Capital has a right of first refusal to acquire certain FAR commercial loans. It can also purchase certain commercial loans on a basis established in FAR’s amended and restated limited liability companyoperating agreement. 

BBX Capital determined that it was the primary beneficiary of FAR and therefore should consolidate FAR in its financial statements. This conclusion was based primarily on the determination that BBX Capital has the right to receive any appreciation of the assets of FAR through its rights to the residual cash flows of FAR and has the obligation to absorb losses as well as its obligations under the incremental $35 million guarantee to BB&T assuring the repayment of BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR.  Also contributing to BBX Capital’s determination that it was the primary beneficiary of FAR was its ability to direct the activities relating to the commercial loans that it services, its ability to purchase certain commercial loans and its right of first refusal in connection with the disposition of certain commercial loans.

BB&T’s preferred equity interest in FAR only entitles it to a  $285 million preference amount plus the related priority return.  Pursuant to the amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement, FAR is required to make quarterly distributions, or more frequent distributions as approved by FAR’s Board of Managers, of excess cash flows from its operations and the orderly disposition of its assets to redeem the preferred membership interests in FAR.  As such, the Class A units, which represent the preferred interest in FAR, are considered mandatorily redeemable and are reflected as debt obligations in theconsolidated statements of financial condition and the priority return is considered interest expense in theconsolidated statements of operations.

The activities of FAR are governed by the amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement, which grants the Board of Managers management authority over FAR.  The Board of Managers has four members, two members elected by BBX Capital and two members elected by BB&T.  Any action on matters before the Board of Managers requires the approval of at least three of the members.  The members designated by BB&T will resign from the Board of Managers upon the full redemption of its preferred interest in FAR.

The carrying amount of assets and liabilities of FAR and the classification of these assets and liabilities in BFC’s consolidated statements of financial condition was as follows (in thousands):

		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
Cash and interest bearing deposits in banks	$	6,937	6,615
Loans held for sale		12,922	20,052
Loans receivable, net		129,052	242,506
Real estate owned		40,793	21,997
Office properties and equipment		12,669	-
Other assets (1)		1,389	5,038
Total assets	$	203,762	296,208
BB&T preferred interest in FAR, LLC	$	110,646	196,877
Other liabilities		14,280	13,603
Total liabilities	$	124,926	210,480

(1) Included in other assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0.8 million and $3.4 million of tax certificates, net of allowance of $0.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. 

Until BB&T’s preference amount is repaid, the proceeds from the monetization of FAR’s assets are restricted to payments of expenses, including the priority return and estimated working capital requirements of FAR, and the repayment of FAR’s preferred membership interests. FAR currently anticipates making distributions at least quarterly. As the holder of 5% of the preferred interests, BBX Capital will receive 5% of such distributions.  FAR finances its activities through revenues from principal and interest payments received on, and the monetization of, its assets. 

BBX Capital’s maximum loss exposure in FAR if all of FAR’s assets were deemed worthless would have been $114 million as of September 30, 2013,  consisting of $79 million of net assets plus the $35 million incremental guarantee.

8.     Inventory

Inventory consisted of the following (in thousands):

		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
Completed VOI units	$	175,426	189,812
Construction-in-progress		7,119	562
Real estate held for future development		83,939	83,632
Land and facilities held for sale		1,441	1,392
Subtotal		267,925	275,398
Purchase accounting adjustment		(68,890)	(78,649)
Total	$	199,035	196,749

The Company’s inventory is primarily comprised of Bluegreen’s completed VOIs, Bluegreen’s VOIs under construction and land held by Bluegreen for future vacation ownership development.  Bluegreen reviews real estate held for future vacation ownership development for impairment under applicable accounting guidelines, which require that such properties be reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.  No impairment charges were recorded with respect to the

39

inventory held by Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen’s operating segment, during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 or 2012.

Interest capitalized to VOI inventory during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 was insignificant. The interest expense reflected in the consolidated financial statements is net of capitalized interest.

Bluegreen

Bluegreen has outstanding borrowings with various financial institutions and other lenders, which have been used to finance the acquisition and development of Bluegreen’s inventory and to fund Bluegreen’s operations. New debt issuances and significant changes related to Bluegreen’s lines-of-credit and notes payable facilities (other than receivable-backed notes payable) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 include:

2013 Notes Payable.  On March 26, 2013, Bluegreen issued $75.0 million of senior secured notes (the “2013 Notes Payable”) in a private financing transaction. The 2013 Notes Payable are secured by certain of Bluegreen’s assets, including primarily the cash flows from the residual interests relating to Bluegreen’s term securitizations and Bluegreen’s VOI inventory in the BG Club 36 resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Notes Payable, Bluegreen is required to periodically pledge reacquired VOI inventory in the BG Club 36 resort.  Bluegreen may also pledge additional residual interests from its future term securitizations, if any.  The 2013 Notes Payable initially accrued interest at a fixed rate of 8.8%.  During April 2013, the interest rate on the 2013 Notes Payable

40

prospectively decreased to a fixed rate of 8.05% based on a final rating obtained from a rating agency.  The 2013 Notes Payable mature in March 2020, with certain required amortization during the seven-year term.  The terms of the 2013 Notes Payable include certain covenants and events of default, which Bluegreen considers to be customary for transactions of this type.  The proceeds from the 2013 Notes Payable were used to fund a portion of the merger consideration paid to former shareholders of Bluegreen in connection with the consummation of the Bluegreen merger during April 2013. 

CapitalSource Term Loan. In November 2012, Bluegreen entered into a $5.0 million non-revolving term loan with CapitalSource Bank secured by unsold inventory and undeveloped land at the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort (the “CapitalSource Term Loan”). In July 2013, the CapitalSource Term Loan was amended to increase its then outstanding balance from $2.9 million to $4.5 million, extend the maturity date from November 2015 to July 2016, and reduce the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR plus 6.75% to 30-day LIBOR plus 5.75%.  The CapitalSource Term Loan is cross-collateralized with the CapitalSource Facility, which is described below.

BBX Capital

As described in further detail in Note 1, during April 2013, BBX Capital issued an $11.75 million promissory note in favor of Woodbridge. Because this promissory note is a transaction between two of BFC’s consolidated entities, it has been eliminated in consolidation and is therefore not reflected in the above table.  Other than with respect to such promissory note, BBX Capital had no new debt issuances and there were no significant changes related to BBX Capital’s notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Woodbridge Junior Subordinated Debentures

There were no significant changes related to Woodbridge’s $85.0  million of junior subordinated debentures at September 30, 2013.

(1) Legacy Securitization debt bears interest at a coupon rate of 12% and was issued at a discount resulting in an effective yield of 18.5%.

(2) Included in the balance of secured receivables is $22.6 million of receivables that are expected to be provided to the Trust (as defined below) by December 26, 2013.  See “2013 Term Securitization” below for additional information.

New debt issuances and significant changes related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable facilities during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 include:  

2013 Term Securitization. On September 26, 2013, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale of approximately $110.6 million of investment-grade, timeshare loan-backed notes, (the "2013-A Term Securitization"). The 2013-A Term Securitization consisted of the issuance of two tranches of timeshare loan-backed notes : approximately $89.1 million of Class A and $21.5 million of Class B notes with note interest rates of 3.01% and 4.00%, respectively, which blended to an overall weighted average note interest rate of approximately 3.20%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 93.75%. The Notes mature on December 4, 2028.

The amount of the timeshare receivables sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2013-A (the “Trust”) was approximately $118.0 million, approximately $95.4 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and

42

approximately $22.6 million is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to December 26, 2013. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $110.6 million. A portion of the proceeds received to date was used to: repay approximately $39.3 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under Bluegreen's existing purchase facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (the "BB&T Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $9.7 million, (including accrued interest and a prepayment fee) under Bluegreen's existing facility with Liberty Bank (the “Liberty Bank Facility”); capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. Prior to the closing of the 2013-A Term Securitization, Bluegreen, as servicer, funded approximately $15.4 million in connection with the servicer redemption of the notes related to the trust established for Bluegreen’s 2005 Term Securitization, and certain of the timeshare loans in such trusts were sold to the Trust in connection with the 2013-A Term Securitization. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2013-A Term Securitization (net of the servicer redemption) of approximately $43.0 million, of which approximately $21.2 million are expected to be received as the aforementioned approximately $22.6 million of timeshare receivables are sold to the Trust, are expected to be used by Bluegreen for general corporate purposes.

While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the 2013-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes.

Quorum Purchase Facility.Since December 2010, Bluegreen has maintained a timeshare notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”). In March 2013, the Quorum Purchase Facility was amended and expanded.  Pursuant to the terms of the March 2013 amendment and subject to certain conditions precedent, Quorum agreed to purchase on a revolving basis through March 31, 2014 eligible timeshare receivables from Bluegreen or certain of its subsidiaries in an amount of up to an aggregate $30.0 million purchase price. The amended terms of the Quorum Purchase Facility reflect an 85% advance rate, and provide for a program fee rate of 5.5% per annum, with respect to any future advances. Advances are also subject to a loan purchase fee of 0.5%. The Quorum Purchase Facility becomes due in December 2030. While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

CapitalSource Facility. Since September 2011, Bluegreen has maintained a revolving timeshare receivables hypothecation facility (the “CapitalSource Facility”) with CapitalSource Bank which provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period.  In July 2013, the CapitalSource Facility was amended to increase the aggregate borrowing base, extend the revolving period and the maturity date, increase the advance rate for certain eligible receivables, and reduce the interest rate. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the aggregate maximum outstanding borrowings were increased from $35.0 million to $40.0 million less the amounts outstanding under the CapitalSource Term Loan (as described above), and the revolving credit period was extended through September 2016, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of CapitalSource Bank. Eligible “A” receivables that meet certain eligibility and FICO® score requirements, which Bluegreen’s management believes are typically consistent with loans originated under Bluegreen’s current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The CapitalSource Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” receivables (which have less stringent FICO® score requirements) to be funded at a 45% advance rate. The interest rate on all existing and future borrowings under the CapitalSource Facility was reduced to the 30-day LIBOR plus 4.50% (from 30-day LIBOR plus 5.75%). Principal repayments and interest are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving credit period, with the remaining outstanding balance maturing in September 2019, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of CapitalSource Bank. Prior to the amendment, the CapitalSource Facility was scheduled to mature in September 2016.  The CapitalSource Facility is cross-collateralized with the CapitalSource Term Loan.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies

BFC, Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, and Woodbridge (Parent Company)

A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 50% limited partner interest in a limited partnership that has a 10% interest in a limited liability company that owns an office building in Tampa, Florida. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $231,000 and$282,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. In connection with the purchase of the office building by the limited liability company in June 2007, BFC guaranteed the payment of certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations that are not related

43

to the financial performance of the property up to a maximum of $15.0 million, or $25.0 million in the event of any petition or involuntary proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfer of interests not in accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates. No amounts are recorded in the Company’s financial statements for the obligations associated with this guarantee based on the potential indemnification by the unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.

Based on current accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of variable interest entities implemented on January 1, 2010, we are not deemed the primary beneficiaries of the above-described entities related to BFC/CCC’s investments as we do not have the power to direct the activities that can significantly impact the performance of these entities. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated into our financial statements.

On November 9, 2007, Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge’s former wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiary, and substantially all of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into during June 2008, as subsequently amended (the “Settlement Agreement”), Woodbridge agreed to (i) pay $8 million to the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates (sometimes referred to herein as the “Debtors’ Estate”), (ii) place $4.5 million in a release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a third party release and injunction, (iii) make a $300,000 payment to a deposit holders fund and (iv) share a percentage of any tax refund attributable to periods prior to the bankruptcy with the Debtors’ Estate. In addition, Woodbridge agreed to waive and release substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including administrative expense claims through July 2008, and the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Joint Committee”)) agreed to waive and release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. On February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by the Debtors and the Joint Committee.  That order also approved the settlement pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Court’s order was filed by any party, and the settlement was consummated on March 3, 2009, at which time payment was made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement. As of December 31, 2011, Woodbridge placed into escrow approximately $11.7 million, which represented the portion of the tax refund that was likely to be required to be paid to the Debtors’ Estate under the Settlement Agreement. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the $11.7 million was paid to the Debtors’ Estate.  In addition, during August 2012, Woodbridge paid to the Debtors’ Estate a settlement holdback amount of approximately $485,000 plus interest, thereby satisfying all of its obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

In the ordinary course of business, BFC and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities. Reserves are accrued for amounts in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $11.9 million was accrued for pending legal proceedings involving BFC or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, or Woodbridge, at its parent company level(all of which related to the Woodbridge appraisal rights litigation described below).  

BFC believes that it has meritorious defenses in the pending legal actions and that reasonably possible losses arising from these pending legal matters, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, will not have a material impact on BFC’s financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, BFC may incur losses in excess of amounts accrued and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to BFC’s financial statements.

Woodbridge Holdings, LLC v. Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P., Cede & Co., William J. Maeck, Ravenswood Investments III, L.P., and The Ravenswood Investment Company, Circuit Court, 17th Judicial Circuit, Broward County, Florida.

Under Florida law, holders of WHC’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve BFC’s 2009 merger with WHC and who properly asserted and exercised their appraisal rights with respect to their shares 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 which they would otherwise have been entitled to receive. In accordance with Florida law, Woodbridge (the successor by merger to WHC) provided written notices and required forms to the dissenting shareholders setting forth, among other things, its determination that the fair value of WHC’s Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger was $1.10 per share. Dissenting shareholders, who collectively held approximately 4.2 million shares of WHC’s Class A Common Stock, rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on

44

their respective fair value estimates of WHC’s Class A Common Stock. Under Florida law, Woodbridge thereafter commenced the appraisal rights action. In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital representing, in the aggregate, Woodbridge’s offer to the dissenting shareholders.  On July 5, 2012, the presiding court determined the fair value of the dissenting shareholders’ shares of WHC’s Class A Common Stock to be $1.78 per share and awarded legal and other costs in favor of the dissenting shareholders. As a result, the $4.6 million liability was increased to approximately $7.5 million as of June 30, 2012 (with a corresponding reduction to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million) to account for the per share value awarded.  On March 11, 2013, the court awarded legal fees and pre and post judgment interest to the dissenting shareholders for a total award of approximately $11.9 million (including the $7.5 million based on the $1.78 per share value determination).  As a result, the liability was increased by approximately $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to $11.9 million as of December 31, 2012.  During April 2013, Woodbridge appealed the court’s ruling with respect to its fair value determination and the award of legal fees and costs and posted a $13.4 million bond in connection with the appeal. The outcome of the appeal is uncertain.

In re Bluegreen Corporation Shareholder Litigation

Between November 16, 2011 and February 13, 2012, seven purported class action lawsuits related to the previously proposed stock-for-stock merger between BFC, which at that time was the sole member of Woodbridge, and Bluegreen were filed against Bluegreen, the members of Bluegreen’s board of directors, BFC and BXG Florida Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge formed for purposes of the merger (“BXG Merger Sub”). As described below, four of these lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action in Florida, and the other three lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action in Massachusetts and stayed in favor of the Florida action. Further information regarding each of these lawsuits is set forth below.

The four Florida lawsuits, captioned and styled Ronald Kirkland v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 16, 2011); Richard Harriman v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 22, 2011); Alfred Richner v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on December 2, 2011); and BHR Master Fund, LTD et al. v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on February 13, 2012), were consolidated into an action styled In Re Bluegreen Corporation Shareholder Litigation. On April 9, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint which alleged that the individual director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by (i) agreeing to sell Bluegreen without first taking steps to ensure adequate, fair and maximum consideration, (ii) engineering a transaction to benefit themselves and not the shareholders, and (iii) failing to protect the interests of Bluegreen’s minority shareholders. In the complaint, the plaintiffs also alleged that BFC breached its fiduciary duties to Bluegreen’s minority shareholders and that BXG Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by Bluegreen’s directors and BFC. In addition, the complaint included allegations relating to claimed violations of Massachusetts law. The complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, along with damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 13, 2012, Bluegreen’s motion to dismiss the action was denied. Bluegreen subsequently answered the complaint.

The three Massachusetts lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court for Suffolk County in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and styled as follows: Gaetano Bellavista Caltagirone v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 16, 2011); Alan W. Weber and J.B. Capital Partners L.P. v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 29, 2011); and Barry Fieldman, as Trustee for the Barry & Amy Fieldman Family Trust v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on December 6, 2011). In their respective complaints, the plaintiffs alleged that the individual director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Bluegreen without first taking steps to ensure adequate, fair and maximum consideration. The Fieldman and Weber actions contained the same claim against BFC. In addition, the complaints included claims that BXG Merger Sub, in the case of the Fieldman action, BFC and BXG Merger Sub, in the case of the Caltagirone action, and Bluegreen, in the case of the Weber action, aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On January 17, 2012, the three Massachusetts lawsuits were consolidated into a single action styled In Re Bluegreen Corp. Shareholder Litigation, which is presently stayed in favor of the Florida action.

Following the public announcement of the termination of the stock-for-stock merger agreement and the entry into the previously described agreement relating to the Bluegreen cash merger, the plaintiffs in the Florida action filed a motion for leave to file a supplemental complaint on November 28, 2012 in order to challenge the structure of, and consideration received by Bluegreen’s shareholders in, the cash merger.  On November 30, 2012, the Florida court granted the plaintiffs’ motion and the supplemental complaint was deemed filed as of that date.  The supplemental complaint alleges that the merger consideration remained inadequate and continued to be unfair to Bluegreen’s minority shareholders.

45

On January 25, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Florida action filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint that set forth more fully their challenge to the Bluegreen cash merger.  The Second Amended Class Action Complaint asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duties against the individual director defendants, BFC, and Woodbridge, (ii) aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties against Bluegreen, BFC, Woodbridge, and BXG Merger Sub, and (iii) a violation of the section of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act regarding the approval of conflict of interest transactions.

As previously described, the Bluegreen cash merger was consummated on April 2, 2013.  However, the actions related to the transaction remain pending, with the plaintiffs seeking to recover damages in connection with the transaction.  BFC and Bluegreen believe that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the actions.

In re BBX Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation

On May 30, 2013, Haim Ronan filed a purported class action against BFC, BBX Merger Sub, BBX Capital and the members of BBX Capital’s board of directors seeking to represent BBX Capital’s shareholders in a lawsuit challenging the currently proposed merger between BBX Capital and BFC. In this action, which is styled Haim Ronan, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, v. Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo, Jarett S. Levan, Steven M. Coldren, Bruno L. Di Giulian, Charlie C. Winningham, II, David A. Lieberman, Willis N. Holcombe, Anthony P. Segreto, BBX Capital Corporation, BFC Financial Corporation and BBX Merger Sub, LLC and was filed in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Mr. Ronan asserted as a cause of action that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and good faith, in part, by failing to obtain a high enough price for the shares of BBX Capital to be acquired by BFC in the merger.  Mr. Ronan also asserted a cause of action against BFC and BBX Merger Sub for aiding and abetting the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.  Mr. Ronan is seeking an injunction blocking the proposed merger.  On May 31, 2013, in an action styled John P. Lauterbach, on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, v. BBX Capital Corporation, John E. Abdo, Norman H. Becker, Steven M. Coldren, Bruno L. Di Giulian, John K. Grelle, Willis N. Holcombe, Alan B. Levan, Jarett S. Levan, David A. Lieberman, Anthony P. Segreto, Charlie C. Winningham II, Seth M. Wise, BFC Financial Corporation and BBX Merger Sub, LLC and filed in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida,John P. Lauterbach filed a purported class action against all of the defendants named in Mr. Ronan’s complaint, challenging the currently proposed merger between BFC and BBX Capital for substantially the same reasons as set forth in Mr. Ronan’s complaint, but asserting an additional, direct cause of action for breach of fiduciary duties against BFC, Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo.  Mr. Lauterbach also added as defendants Norman H. Becker, who was appointed to BBX Capital’s board of directors on May 7, 2013, as well as John K. Grelle and Seth M. Wise, who serve as executive officers and directors of BFC and BBX Capital. On September 4, 2013, the Court entered an order consolidating the Lauterbach and Ronan actions into a single action styled In re BBX Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation, with the complaint filed in the Lauterbach action being deemed the operative complaint.  On October 11, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the consolidated action which includes the same claims asserted in the Lauterbach complaint but includes certain additional allegations with respect to those claims.  BFC and BBX Capital believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

Bluegreen

In the ordinary course of its business, Bluegreen becomes subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, sale, marketing or financing of VOIs or its other resort fee-based services. Bluegreen is also subject to certain matters relating to its previous Bluegreen Communities’ business, substantially all of the assets of which Bluegreen sold on May 4, 2012. Additionally, from time to time, Bluegreen becomes involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions and various other parties. From time to time in the ordinary course of business, Bluegreen also receives individual consumer complaints, as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorney Generals. Bluegreen takes these matters seriously and attempts to resolve any such issues as they arise. Unless otherwise described below, Bluegreen believes that these claims are routine litigation incidental to its business.

Reserves are accrued for matters in which Bluegreen’s management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2013, $1.4 million had been accrued for matters believedby Bluegreen’s management to meet these criteria. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims.

46

Bluegreen’s management is not at this time able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur. In certain matters, Bluegreen is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.

The aggregate liabilityrelating to the known contingenciesof Bluegreen discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, losses in excess of amounts accrued may be incurred and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Tennessee Tax Audit

In 2005, the State of Tennessee Audit Division (the “Division”) audited certain subsidiaries within Bluegreen Resorts for the period from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004. On September 23, 2006, the Division issued a notice of assessment for approximately $0.7 million of accommodations tax based on the use of Bluegreen Vacation Club accommodations by Bluegreen Vacation Club members who became members through the purchase of non-Tennessee property. Bluegreen believes the attempt to impose such a tax is contrary to Tennessee law and has vigorously opposed such assessment by the Division. An informal conference was held in December 2007 to discuss this matter with representatives of the Division. No formal resolution of the issue was reached during the conference. By letter dated May 25, 2011, the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue issued a decision in which it held that two of the three types of transactions in question were taxable. The State of Tennessee Department of Revenue confirmed that Bluegreen had already remitted the proper amount of sales tax due on one of the two types of taxable transactions, but has taken the position that Bluegreen owed a total of $0.7 million in taxes and interest based on the second type of transaction. On August 1, 2011, Bluegreen filed suit in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee for the purpose of invalidating and setting aside the tax assessment made against Bluegreen by the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue.  Discovery matters relative to the litigation are ongoing. 

Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.

In Case No. 2006-Ca-3374, styled Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A. vs. Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.; Hubert A. Laird; and MSB of Destin, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida, during 2006, Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A., as escrow agent, brought an interpleader action seeking a determination as to whether Bluegreen, as purchaser, or Hubert A. Laird and MSB of Destin, Inc., as seller, was entitled to the $1.4 million escrow deposit being maintained with the escrow agent pursuant to a purchase and sale contract for real property located in Destin, Florida. Bluegreen maintained that its decision not to close on the purchase of the property was proper under the terms of the purchase and sale contract and that Bluegreen is therefore entitled to a return of the full escrow deposit. On June 1, 2011, the trial court made a finding that Bluegreen breached the purchase and sale contract and that the plaintiff was entitled to the escrow deposit and all accrued interest. Bluegreen filed a notice of appeal with the First District Court of Appeal seeking to appeal the trial court’s decision. The escrow deposit and all accrued interest were placed in the appropriate Court registry pending the outcome of the appeal.  In January 2013, an Amended Final Judgment was issued finding Bluegreen in breach of contract and awarding the plaintiff the entire deposit plus accrued interest.  Bluegreen subsequently filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Court.  Before the Court rendered a response to the Motion, the matter was settled pursuant to an agreement under which Bluegreen received approximately $145,000 of the disputed deposit amount with the balance distributed to the plaintiff. 

The matters described below relate to Bluegreen Communities. As described above and further in Note 3, Bluegreen sold substantially all of the assets which comprised Bluegreen Communities to Southstar on May 4, 2012. However, Southstar did not assume the liabilities related to the matters described below in connection with the transaction, and Bluegreen therefore remains responsible for these matters and any liabilities resulting from them.

Mountain Lakes Mineral Rights

Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. (“Southwest”), a subsidiary of Bluegreen, was the developer of the Mountain Lakes subdivision in Texas. In Case No. 28006, styled Betty Yvon Lesley et a1. V. Bluff Dale Development Corporation, Bluegreen Southwest One. L.P. et al., in the 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County, Texas, the plaintiffs filed a declaratory judgment action against Southwest seeking to develop their reserved mineral interests in, on and under the Mountain Lakes subdivision. The plaintiffs’ claims are based on property law, oil and gas law, contract and tort theories. The property owners association and some of the individual landowners have filed cross actions against

47

Bluegreen, Southwest and individual directors of the property owners association related to the mineral rights and certain amenities in the subdivision as described below. On January 17, 2007, the court ruled that the restrictions placed on the development that prohibited oil and gas production and development were invalid and not enforceable as a matter of law, that such restrictions did not prohibit the development of the plaintiffs’ prior reserved mineral interests and that Southwest breached its duty to lease the minerals to third parties for development. The court further ruled that Southwest was the sole holder of the right to lease the minerals to third parties. The order granting the plaintiffs’ motion was severed into Case No. 28769, styled Betty Yvon Lesley et a1. V. Bluff Dale Development Corporation, Bluegreen Southwest One. L.P. et al., in the 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County, Texas. Southwest appealed the trial court’s ruling. On January 22, 2009, in Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. et al. v. Betty Yvon Lesley et al., in the 11th Court of Appeals, Eastland, Texas, the Appellate Court reversed the trial court’s decision and ruled in Southwest’s favor and determined that all executive rights were owned by Southwest and then transferred to the individual property owners in connection with the sales of land. All property owner claims were decided in favor of Southwest. It was also decided that Southwest did not breach a fiduciary duty to the plaintiffs as an executive rights holder. On May 14, 2009, the plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Texas Supreme Court asking the Court to reverse the Appellate Court’s decision in favor of Southwest. On August 26, 2011, the Texas Supreme Court issued its opinion affirming the Appellate Court’s decision in part and reversing it in part. The Texas Supreme Court held that Southwest did not breach any covenants in the deed, but did breach a duty to the plaintiffs by filing restrictive covenants in connection with the development of the property which prohibited mineral development, and that the appropriate remedy was cancellation of the restrictive covenants. The Texas Supreme Court further ruled that the plaintiffs have no right of ingress to, or egress from, the subdivision, and that Southwest did not breach a duty to the plaintiffs by not leasing the mineral rights. The Texas Supreme Court remanded the case to the trial court for disposition consistent with its decision. On January 17, 2013, the trial court issued a partial judgment on remand. In its partial judgment, the trial court entered judgment on the issues rendered by the Court of Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court, including a finding that Southwest’s filing of restrictive covenants that attempted to prevent or restrict mineral development was a breach of a duty owed to the non-executive mineral rights owners. As such, the trial court canceled and declared void the section of the restrictive covenants preventing mineral development. However, the trial court also declared that the remaining provisions of the restrictive covenants remain in full force, and the filing of the restrictive covenants by Southwest was not a breach of contract. The trial court also held that the claims by the plaintiffs for reformation of the original deeds dealing with the quantum of minerals reserved therein should be severed from this case.  During mediation held in June 2012, Southwest and the named plaintiffs (Lesley) reached an agreement, with Southwest agreeing to payLesley$200,000 for dismissal of the claims for lost mineral rights.  Settlement with the other plaintiffs was not reached at that time. On August 8, 2013, the court ruled in favor of Southwest, denying the plaintiffs’ claim that Bluegreen Corporation aided and abetted Southwest in recording the invalidated restricted covenants, and also ruled that the plaintiffs had not yet established a cause of action entitling them to the recovery of attorneys’ fees if they should prevail at trial. On September 5, 2013, the parties signed a Rule 11 Agreement tentatively settling all matters remaining in this lawsuit for a total payment to the plaintiffs of $1.0 million. The parties subsequently signed a final settlement agreement and on November 12, 2013, Bluegreen made the $1.0 million settlement payment to legal counsel for the plaintiffs.

Separately, as a result of the Texas Supreme Court’s decision invalidating the restrictive covenants prohibiting mineral development within the subdivision, certain lot owners within Mountain Lakes filed a cross-claim against Southwest alleging fraud, negligence and a violation of deceptive trade practices laws based on a claim that the invalidation of the restrictive covenants has caused devaluation of their residential lots and other economic damages. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the claims of all Mountain Lakes lot owners participating in the cross-claim were settled for a cash payment to the lot owners totaling approximately $0.9 million.

In re Bluegreen Corporation Shareholder Litigation

See the above-described class action lawsuits relating to the Bluegreen merger.

BBX Capital

BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant.   Although BBX Capital believes it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of litigation matters and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.

BBX Capital reserves are accrued for matters in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. These accrual amounts as of September 30, 2013 are not material to BBX Capital’s or BFC’s financial statements. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims.

48

A range of reasonably possible losses is estimated for matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred or that a loss is probable but not reasonably estimable. Management of BBX Capital currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses of up to $4.4 million in excess of the accrued liability relating to these legal matters.  This estimated range of reasonably possible losses represents the estimated possible losses over the life of such legal matters, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available as of September 30, 2013. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent BBX Capital’s maximum loss exposure.

In certain matters BBX Capital is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments in the case provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.

Liabilities arising from the litigation matters discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on BBX Capital’s or BFC’s financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters,losses in excess of amounts accrued may be incurred and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to BBX Capital’s or BFC’s financial statements.

On May 10, 2013, BBX Capital received a notice from BB&T regarding a series of pending and threatened claims asserted against BB&T’s subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company, as successor to BankAtlantic, by certain individuals who purport to have had accounts in their names with BankAtlantic prior to consummation of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T.  The claims allege wrongful conduct by BankAtlantic in connection with certain alleged unauthorized transactions associated with their accounts.  BB&T’s notice asserts its belief that it may be entitled to indemnification under the BB&T Agreement with respect to such claims.

The following is a description of certain ongoing litigation matters:

In re BBX Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation

See the above-described consolidated purported class action lawsuit challenging the currently proposed merger between BFC and BBX Capital.

Securities and Exchange Commission Complaint

On January 18, 2012, the SEC brought an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against BBX Capital and Alan B. Levan, BBX Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, alleging that they violated securities laws by not timely disclosing known adverse trends in BBX Capital’s commercial real estate loans, selectively disclosing problem loans and engaging in improper accounting treatment of certain specific loans which may have resulted in a material understatement of its net loss in BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Further, the complaint alleges that Mr. Alan B. Levan intentionally misled investors in related earnings calls.  The SEC is seeking a finding by the court of violations of securities laws, a permanent injunction barring future violations, civil money penalties and, in the case of Mr. Alan B. Levan, an order barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company. 

Discovery in the action is now closed.  The Court has denied summary judgment as to most issues, but granted the SEC’s motion for partial summary judgment that certain statements in one of Alan Levan’s answers on a July 25, 2007 investor conference call were false.  The grant of partial summary judgment does not resolve any of the SEC’s claims in its favor; with respect to Mr. Alan Levan’s answers on the July 25, 2007 conference call, the jury will still determine issues relating to materiality and scienter.  Due to pending and unresolved motions regarding the admissibility of expert testimony, the case has been continued and is currently set for trial during the two-week period beginning on January 13, 2014.  BBX Capital believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

BBX Capital Shareholders Lawsuit Seeking to Block the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T under the Agreement

On April 5, 2012, J. Phillip Max filed a class action complaint in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida against Alan Levan, Jarett Levan, John Abdo, Steven Coldren, D. Keith Cobb,

49

Charles C. Winningham II, Bruno Di Giulian, Willis Holcombe, David Lieberman, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., BFC Financial Corporation, and BB&T Corporation.  The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care, good faith and loyalty by causing or permitting BBX Capital to sell BankAtlantic.  The complaint further alleges that BBX Capital, BFC and BB&T aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, including an injunction against the proposed transaction between BBX Capital and BB&T, as well as seeking damages.  As a consequence of the consummation of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T much of the complaint was rendered moot.  On June 26, 2013, the case was dismissed without prejudice.

New Jersey Tax Sales Certificates Antitrust Litigation

On December 21, 2012, plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in an existing purported class action filed in Federal District Court in New Jersey adding BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAM, among others as defendants.  BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax were served with the complaint January 8, 2013.  The class action complaint is brought on behalf of a class defined as “all persons who owned real property in the State of New Jersey and who had a Tax Certificate issued with respect to their property that was purchased by a Defendant during the Class Period at a public auction in the State of New Jersey at an interest rate above 0%.”  Plaintiffs allege that beginning in January 1998 and at least through February 2009, the Defendants were part of a statewide conspiracy to manipulate interest rates associated with tax certificates sold at public auction from at least January 1, 1998, through February 28, 2009. During this period, Fidelity Tax was a subsidiary of BankAtlantic.  Fidelity Tax was contributed to CAM in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic in the BB&T Transaction.  BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2013 and on October 23, 2013, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the Amended Complaint with prejudice as to certain claims, but without prejudice as to plaintiffs’ main antitrust claim.  Plaintiffs’ counsel has indicated that plaintiffs intend to refile an amended complaint.  BBX Capital believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.

11.    Shares Subject to Mandatory Redemption

On June 7, 2004, the Company’s board of directors designated 15,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock. On June 21, 2004, the Company sold all 15,000 shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to an investor group in a private offering.

The Company’s 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share. The shares of 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company, from time to time, at redemption prices ranging from $1,010 per share for the twelve month period ending April 29, 2014 to $1,000 per share for the twelve month period ending April 29, 2016.  The 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock’s liquidation preference is equal to its stated value of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or an amount equal to the applicable redemption price in a voluntary liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as provided by Florida law, and are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s board of directors (and previously also upon the written non-objection of the Federal Reserve), cumulative quarterly cash dividends on each such share at a rate per annum of 5% of the stated value from the date of issuance. From the second quarter of 2004 through the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid quarterly dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock of $187,500. The Company determined not to seek the Federal Reserve’s written non-objection to the dividend payment for the fourth quarter of 2011 or the first or second quarters of 2012 and, therefore, the Company accrued unpaid dividend paymentstotaling approximately $563,000 as of June 30, 2012.   As a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T on July 31, 2012, BFC was released from registration as a savings and loan holding company, effective August 31, 2012, and therefore is no longer subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve or otherwise as a savings and loan holding company.  Following such deregistration, the unpaid dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first and second quarters of 2012 and accrued interest totaling $563,000 were paid by BFC.  BFC has subsequently paid regular quarterly cash dividends of $187,500 on its 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock.  As a result of the re-classification of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to a liability in connection with the Second Amendment described below, the dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock paid since the second quarter of 2012 plus accretable interest is included as interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

On December 17, 2008, certain of the previously designated relative rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were amended (the “First Amendment”) to eliminate the right of the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to convert their shares into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The First Amendment also required the Company to redeem shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock with the net

50

proceeds received in the event the Company sold any shares of Benihana’s stock that it owned and entitled the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, in the event the Company defaulted on its dividend payment obligation with respect to such stock, to receive directly from Benihana the payments due (collectively, the “Benihana Stock Provisions”).

Based on an analysis of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock after giving effect to the First Amendment, the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was classified in the mezzanine category at its fair value at the effective date of the First Amendment of approximately $11.0 million. The remaining amount (which was approximately $4.0 million as of the date of the First Amendment) is recorded in additional paid in capital in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was calculated using an income approach by discounting estimated cash flows at a market discount rate.

On April 4, 2012, the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were further amended (the “Second Amendment”).  Pursuant to the Second Amendment, to the extent the shares are not earlier redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption right described above, the Company will be required to redeem 5,000 shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock during each of the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 for an aggregate annual redemption price of $5.0 million, or $1,000 per share. The Second Amendment also provides that, subject to certain limitations, in the event that the Company defaults on its dividend or mandatory redemption obligations, the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the Company shares of common stock of Bluegreen owned by the Company having, in the aggregate, a fair market value equal to the amount of the dividend or redemption payment, as the case may be, to the extent not timely paid. In consideration therefor, the Second Amendment eliminated the Benihana Stock Provisions. As of the date of this filing, no agreement has been reached between BFC and the holders of its 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock regarding which, if any, assets of BFC are to be substituted for the shares of Bluegreen’s common stock in the event of a dividend or redemption payment default.

Under applicable accounting guidance, as a result of the Second Amendment and the mandatory redemption provision contained therein, the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was re-classified as a liability during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 at its estimated fair value of approximately $11.5 million.   The fair value was determined by an independent third party and was based on a cash flow model using a discount rate equivalent to benchmark bond ratings.  The $0.5 million difference between the previously stated fair value of $11.0 million as of March 31, 2012 and the June 30, 2012 estimated fair value of $11.5 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition. Included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operationsfor the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is interest recognized of approximately $941,000, of which $563,000 was paid as dividends.

13.    Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment. 

The information provided for segment reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management of the Company and its subsidiaries. The presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in the segments’ operating results would, in management's view, likely not be impacted.

As a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic during July 2012 and Safflower’s acquisition of Benihana during August 2012, BFC reorganized its reportable segments during the fourth quarter of 2012 to better align its segments with its and its subsidiaries’ operations.  Since the segment reorganization, the Company has reportedits resultsthrough four segments:  Real Estate Operations; Bluegreen Resorts; FAR;and BBX.  Prior to the segment reorganization,  the Company also had a BFC Activities reporting segment, which consisted of BFC’s corporate overhead and selling, general and administrative expenses, including the expenses of Woodbridge unrelated to Bluegreen and other real estate related activities, BFC’s investment in Benihana and certain other investments and subsidiaries. During the fourth quarter of 2012, BFC’s management modified its measure of segment operating profit to exclude the items that were previously classified within the BFC Activities segment.  Accordingly, the Company’s segment disclosure has been adjusted to reflect the revised presentation and the results previously included within BFC Activities have been reclassified to unallocated corporate overhead for all periods presented and are included in the reconciliation of segment amounts to the consolidated amounts.

Discontinued operations include the results of Bluegreen Communities (which previously was a separate reporting segment), BankAtlantic’s community banking, investment, capital services and tax certificate reporting units (which previously comprised a portion of the BankAtlantic segment, which was a separate reporting segment) and Cypress

52

Creek Holdings (which was previously part of the Real Estate Operations reporting segment). See Note 3for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

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:

Real Estate Operations

The Company’s Real Estate Operations segment consists of Core Communities, which suspended activities in December 2010, and Carolina Oak, which suspended its homebuilding activities in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Bluegreen Resorts

Bluegreen Resorts, the operating segment relating to Bluegreen’s continuing operations, markets, sells and manages real estate-based VOIs in resorts generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, which were developed or acquired by Bluegreen or are owned by others in which case Bluegreen Resorts earns fees for providing these services.  Bluegreen Resorts also earns fees related to its provision of property association management services, mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen Resorts provides financing to credit-qualified individual purchasers of VOIs, which provides significant interest income.

FAR

BBX Capital holds 5% of the outstanding preferred membership interests in FAR as well as the right to own 100% of FAR following such time, if any, as BB&T, which holds 95% of FAR’s outstanding preferred membership interests, has recovered $285 million preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum on any unpaid preference amount. Since its inception (August 1, 2012), FAR’s activities have primarily consisted of managing its portfolio of assets with a view towards liquidating the assets to provide sufficient funds to result in the full recovery of the preference amount and to maximize the residual value of the assets. FAR’s activities also include oversight of third party servicers and the liquidation of tax certificates, loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure.

BBX

The BBX segment includes the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of CAM and BBX Partners, Inc., BBX Capital’s wholly owned asset workout subsidiary (“BBX Partners”).  BBX Partners’ primary assets are non-performing commercial loans and real estate owned. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, CAM’s and BBX Partners’ activities were primarily associated with their loans receivable, real estate properties and a portfolio of previously charged-off loans as well as pursuing equity and debt investment opportunities in real estate and middle market operating businesses.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, equity earnings from BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge were also included in the BBX segment.  As both BBX Capital and Woodbridge are consolidated into BFC’s financial statements, equity earnings from BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge were eliminated in consolidation.

BBX’s activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of those related to BankAtlantic’s Commercial Lending reporting unit and BBX’s Partners’ assets. The activities related to the commercial loan portfolios included renewing, modifying, collecting, extending, refinancing and making protective advances on these loans, as well as managing and liquidating real estate properties acquired through foreclosure.

14.    Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

The Company owns shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately 52% of the total outstanding equity of BBX Capital and 73% of the total voting power of BBX Capital.  The Company may be deemed to be controlled by Alan B. Levan, who serves as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and John E. Abdo, who serves as Vice Chairman of the Company. Together, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo may be deemed to beneficially own shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately 72% the Company’s total voting power.  Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo are each executive officers and directors of BBX Capital, and they served as executive officers and directors of BankAtlantic until July 2012 when BBX Capital sold BankAtlantic to BB&T.  In addition, Jarett S. Levan, the son of Alan B. Levan, is an executive officer and director of the Company and BBX Capital, and he was an executive officer and director of BankAtlantic until its sale to BB&T in July 2012.  Further, Seth M. Wise, an executive officer and director of the Company, and John K. Grelle, an executive officer of the Company, are each executive officers of BBX Capital.

The Company and BBX Capital own 54% and 46%, respectively, of the outstanding equity interests in Woodbridge, which is the sole shareholder of Bluegreen as a result of the Bluegreen merger described below.  Prior to such merger, the Company, indirectly through Woodbridge, owned approximately 54% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock.  In addition, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo served, and continue to serve, as Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, of Bluegreen.  The Company also had a direct non-controlling interest in Benihana, and Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo served as directors of Benihana, in each case until August 2012 when Benihana was acquired by Safflower.

On April 2, 2013, Woodbridge acquired all of the then-outstanding shares of Bluegreen not previously owned by Woodbridge in a cash merger transaction.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement between the parties, dated as of November 14, 2012, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge, whose shares of Bluegreen’s common stock were canceled in connection with the Bluegreen merger without any payment therefor) received consideration of $10.00 in cash for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the Bluegreen merger, including unvested restricted shares. In addition, each option to acquire shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the Bluegreen merger, whether vested or unvested, was canceled in exchange for the holder’s right to receive the excess, if any, of the $10.00 per share merger consideration over the exercise price per share of the option. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $149.2 million.  As a result of the Bluegreen merger, Bluegreen, which was the surviving corporation of the transaction, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.

In connection with the financing of the Bluegreen merger, the Company and Woodbridge entered into a Purchase Agreement with BBX Capital on April 2, 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. The Company continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests. BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge consisted of $60 million in cash and a promissory note in Woodbridge’s favor in the principal amount of $11.75 million. The promissory note has a term of five years, accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provides for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the promissory note, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, BBX Capital paid to Woodbridge approximately $294,000 of interest on the note.  In connection with BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, the Company and BBX Capital entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth the Company’s and BBX Capital’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides for, among other things, unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions from Woodbridge to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Company’s and BBX Capital’s respective percentage equity interests in Woodbridge.

The Company and Bluegreen were previously party to a merger agreement, dated November 11, 2011, which provided for Bluegreen to merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and for Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge and shareholders of Bluegreen who duly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Massachusetts law) to receive eight shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the transaction. The November 2011 merger agreement was conditioned upon, among other things, the listing of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange at the effective time of the transaction.  Due to the inability to satisfy this closing condition, on November 14, 2012, the Company and Bluegreen agreed to terminate the November 2011 merger agreement and the Company, Woodbridge and Bluegreen entered into the cash merger agreement described above.

58

On May 7, 2013, BFC, BBX Merger Sub, a  wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of BFC, and BBX Capital entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which,subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, BBX Capital will merge with and into BBX Merger Sub, with BBX Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, BBX Capital’s shareholders (other than BFC and shareholders of BBX Capital who exercise and perfect their appraisal rights in accordance with Florida law) will be entitled to receive 5.39 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that they hold at the effective time of the merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).  Each option to acquire shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that is outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable, will be converted into an option to acquire shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the option will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price of the option will be divided by the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock subject to a restricted stock award outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into a restricted share of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares subject to the award will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  Consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective shareholders, BFC’s Class A Common Stock being approved for listing on a national securities exchange (or interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association) at the effective time of the merger, holders of not more than 10% of BBX Capital’s Common Stock exercising appraisal rights, and the absence of any “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to either BFC or BBX Capital.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors of either BFC or BBX Capital may, in its discretion, choose to waive any of the conditions to consummation of the merger and proceed to closing.BFC has agreed in the merger agreement to vote all of the shares of BBX Capital’s Common Stock that it owns in favor of the merger agreement, which would constitute the requisite approval of the merger agreement by BBX Capital’s shareholders under Florida law. There is no assurance that the merger will be consummated on the currently contemplated terms or at all.

On October 30, 2013, Renin Holdings LLC, a newly formed joint venture entity beneficially owned 81% by BBX Capital and 19% by BFC, through newly formed acquisition subsidiaries acquired substantially all of the assets of Renin Corp. and its subsidiaries, manufacturers of interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products, for approximately $14.6 million in cash.  The $14.6 million transaction consideration is subject to certain potential post-closing adjustments based on the Sellers’ working capital as of the closing and certain contractually provided Seller indemnities.    Bluegreen Specialty Finance, LLC, a subsidiary of Bluegreen, funded approximately $9.4 million of the transaction consideration in the form of a term loan and revolver facilityto the Purchasers.  The loan includes a$3.0 million term loan and provides for additional borrowings of up to $9 million on a revolving basis ($6.4 million of which was drawn upon at the closing), subject to the terms of a borrowing basis specified in the loan.   Amounts outstanding under the  loan bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Purchasers.  All amounts outstanding under the loan will, unless extended, become due on April 30, 2014.The balance of the transaction consideration of $5.2 million was funded approximately $4.2 million by BBX Capital and approximately $1.0 million by BFC in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin Holdings LLC.  See Note 1 for additional information regarding the Renin Acquisition.

(1)	Pursuant to the terms of shared services agreements between BFC and BBX Capital, until the consummation of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T during July 2012, subsidiaries of BFC provided human resources, risk management, investor relations, executive office administration and other services to BBX Capital.  Subsidiaries of BFC continue to provide certain risk management and administrative services to BBX Capital.  BFC’s subsidiaries also provide risk management and administrative services to Bluegreen. The costs of shared services are allocated based upon the usage of the respective services.
(2)	In December 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with BBX Capital pursuant to which BBX Capital provides office facilities to the Company at BBX Capital’s and the Company’s principal executive offices.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company reimburses BBX Capital at cost for certain costs and expenses related to the office facilities provided.
(3)	Prior to the completion of the BankAtlantic Sale in July 2012, as part of the shared service arrangements, BFC paid BankAtlantic and Bluegreen for office facilities utilized by BFC and its shared services operations.  BFC also paid BankAtlantic approximately $8,000 and $60,000 for information technology related services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, pursuant to a separate agreement.

In June 2010, BBX Capital and BankAtlantic entered into a real estate advisory service agreement with BFC for assistance relating to the work-out of loans and the sale of real estate owned. Under the terms of the agreement, BFC received a monthly fee of $12,500 from each of BankAtlantic and BBX Capital and, if BFC’s efforts resulted in net recoveries of any non-performing loan or the sale of real estate owned, BFC received a fee equal to 1% of the net value recovered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, BFC received an aggregate of $25,000 and $260,000, respectively, of real estate advisory service fees under this agreement. 

The above-described agreements and relationships between BFC and BankAtlantic were either terminated effective upon the closing of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T during July 2012 or were assumed by BB&T for a limited period of time after consummation of the BB&T Transaction.  As a result of the BankAtlantic sale, such

60

agreements and relationships are no longer considered related party transactions.  In addition, the real estate advisory service agreement between BFC and BBX Capital was terminated during July 2012.

In prior periods, BBX Capital issued options to purchase shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock to employees of BFC.  Additionally, certain employees of BBX Capital have transferred to affiliate companies, and BBX Capital has elected, in accordance with the terms of BBX Capital’s stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. BBX Capital from time to time also issues options and restricted stock awards to employees of BFC that perform services for BBX Capital. Expenses relating to all options and restricted stock awards granted by BBX Capital to employees of BFC were approximately $2,000 and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  The Company reimbursed BBX Capital for the full amount of these expenses.  There were no such related compensation expenses during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Bluegreen paid a subsidiary of BFC approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for a variety of management advisory services. In addition, BFC had an agreement with Bluegreen relating to the engagement of different independent registered public accounting firms. Pursuant to this agreement, Bluegreen reimbursed BFC during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 approximately $0.4 million for fees paid by BFC to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, BFC’s independent registered public accounting firm, for services performed at Bluegreen as part of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s annual audit of BFC’s consolidated financial statements. This agreement was terminated in connection with Bluegreen’s decision during October 2012 to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm.

Beginning in 2009, Bluegreen entered into a land lease with Benihana, which constructed and operates a restaurant on one of Bluegreen’s resort properties. Under the terms of the lease, Bluegreen receives payments from Benihana of approximately $0.1 million annually.

Certain of BFC’s affiliates, including its executive officers, have independently made investments with their own funds in both public and private entities that BFC sponsored in 2001 and in which it holds investments.

(1) In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, during the second quarter of 2012, BFC reclassified its 5% cumulative preferred stock as a liability due to an amendment to the rights and privileges of such stock which, among other things, requires BFC to redeem shares of the 5% cumulative preferred stock in future periods.  As a result of such reclassification, the difference between the fair value of the 5% cumulative preferred stock and its carrying amount was required to be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, which was deducted from net earnings available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share.  In connection with the reclassification of BFC's 5% cumulative preferred stock, 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 5% cumulative preferred stock.

During each of the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, there we no options to acquire shares of common stock that were anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a holding company whose principal holdings include a direct controlling interest in BBX Capital Corporation (formerly BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (“BBX Capital”) and a 54% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), which owns 100% of Bluegreen Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bluegreen”).

We hold shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock, which is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and Class B Common Stock representing an approximately 73% voting interest and 52% equity interest in BBX Capital.  BBX Capital’s principal asset until July 31, 2012 was its investment in BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. On July 31, 2012, BBX Capital completed its sale to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BankAtlantic. BBX Capital’s current operations and business plans involve investments in income producing real estate, real estate developments and real estate joint ventures and investments in middle market operating businesses.  In addition, as described in further detail below, BBX owns a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.

Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and management company primarily focused on the hospitality and vacation ownership industries. Bluegreen markets, sells and manages vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) in resorts, which are generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, and were either developed or acquired by Bluegreen or developed and owned by others in which case Bluegreen earns fees for providing these services. Bluegreen also provides property association management services, mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen provides financing to individual purchasers of its VOIs, which generates significant interest income. 

BFC also holds interests in other investments and subsidiaries as described herein.  BFC held a significant investment in Benihana Inc. (“Benihana”) until August 2012 when Benihana was acquired by Safflower Holdings Corp. (“Safflower”). 

As of September 30, 2013, we had total consolidated assets of approximately $1.4 billion and shareholders’ equity attributable to BFC of approximately $214.8 million. Net income attributable to BFC was approximately $9.6 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to net income attributable to BFC of $158.1 million and $181.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Net income for the 2012 periods included a gain on sale of approximately $293 million recognized by us in connection with BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T.

BFC’s business strategy has been to invest in and acquire businesses in diverse industries either directly or through controlled subsidiaries. Most recently, BFC has focused on providing strategic support to its existing investments with a view to the improved performance of the organization as a whole.  Initiatives in furtherance of this strategy include the April 2013 Bluegreen merger and the currently proposed merger with BBX Capital, in each case as described in further detail below.  We are also seeking to make investments outside of our existing portfolio, as indicated by our participation in the Renin Acquisition described below. Additionally, we may invest in real estate joint ventures for the development of residential and commercial real estate projects in which our affiliates expect to participate.  In advancement of this goal, we will continue to evaluate various financing transactions, including debt or equity financings as well as other alternative sources of new capital. BFC’s  investments or acquisitions, and the business and investment strategies of BFC’s subsidiaries, may not prove to be successful or even if successful may not initially generate income, or may generate income on an irregular basis and may involve a long term investment, causing our results of operations to vary significantly on a quarterly basis.  

On October 30, 2013, Renin Holdings LLC, a newly formed joint venture entity beneficially owned 81% by BBX Capital and 19% by BFC, through newly formed acquisition subsidiaries (Renin Holdings LLC and its acquisition subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”) acquired substantially all of the assets of Renin Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Sellers”), manufacturers of interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products, for approximately $14.6 million in cash (the “Renin Acquisition”).  The $14.6 million transaction consideration is subject to certain potential post-closing adjustments based on the Sellers’ working capital as of the closing and certain contractually provided Seller indemnities.  At the closing, approximately $1.7

64

million of the transaction consideration was placed in escrow pending final determination of the working capital adjustment, if any, and final resolution of any indemnification obligations of the Sellers.  Bluegreen Specialty Finance, LLC, a subsidiary of Bluegreen, funded approximately $9.4 million of the transaction consideration in the form of a term loan and revolver facility (the “Renin Loan”) to the Purchasers.  The Renin Loan includes a$3.0 million term loan and provides for additional borrowings of up to $9 million on a revolving basis ($6.4 million of which was drawn upon at the closing), subject to the terms of a borrowing basis specified in the Renin Loan.  Amounts outstanding under the  Renin Loan bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Purchasers.  All amounts outstanding under the Renin Loan will, unless extended, become due on April 30, 2014.The balance of the transaction consideration of $5.2 million was funded approximately $4.2 million by BBX Capital and approximately $1.0 million by BFC in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin Holdings LLC.  The transaction consideration was used to satisfy certain of the Sellers’ outstanding debt and other liabilities, obligations and expenses.

The acquired assets include, among other things, inventory, trade accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment, and intellectual property and other intangible assets with an estimated carrying value, subject to adjustment, of $23 million.  In addition to acquiring the assets, approximately $9.0 million of certain trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the Sellers, which represent ordinary course business obligations incurred by the Sellers prior to the closing and certain accrued employee benefits, were assumed in the Renin Acquisition.  Additionally, the Purchasers offered employment to the Sellers’ current employees on substantially the same terms as in effect prior to the closing.

On May 7, 2013, BFC, BBX Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of BFC (“BBX Merger Sub”), and BBX Capital entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement BBX Capital will merge with and into BBX Merger Sub, with BBX Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, BBX Capital’s shareholders (other than BFC and shareholders of BBX Capital who exercise and perfect their appraisal rights in accordance with Florida law) will be entitled to receive 5.39 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that they hold at the effective time of the merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).  Each option to acquire shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that is outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable, will be converted into an option to acquire shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the option will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price of the option will be divided by the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock subject to a restricted stock award outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into a restricted share of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares subject to the award will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  Consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective shareholders, BFC’s Class A Common Stock being approved for listing on a national securities exchange (or interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association) at the effective time of the merger, holders of not more than 10% of BBX Capital’s Common Stock exercising appraisal rights, and the absence of any “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to either BFC or BBX Capital.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors of either BFC or BBX Capital may, in its discretion, choose to waive any of the conditions to consummation of the merger and proceed to closing. BFC has agreed in the merger agreement to vote all of the shares of BBX Capital’s Common Stock that it owns in favor of the merger agreement, which would constitute the requisite approval of the merger agreement by BBX Capital’s shareholders under Florida law. There is no assurance that the merger will be consummated on the currently contemplated terms or at all.

A consolidated purported class action lawsuit is pending in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida which seeks to enjoin the merger or, if it is completed, to recover relief as determined by the presiding court. BFC and BBX Capital believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.  See Note 10 for additional information regarding this litigation.

On April 2, 2013, Bluegreen merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge in a cash merger transaction (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Bluegreen merger” or the “Bluegreen cash merger”).  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge) received consideration of $10.00 in cash for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the merger, including unvested restricted shares. In addition, each option to acquire shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, was canceled in exchange for a cash

65

payment to the holder in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the $10.00 per share merger consideration over the exercise price per share of the option. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $149.2 million.  As a result of the merger, Bluegreen, which was the surviving corporation of the merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.  Prior to the merger, the Company indirectly through Woodbridge owned approximately 54% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock.

In connection with the financing of the merger, BFC and Woodbridge entered into a Purchase Agreement with BBX Capital on April 2, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge contemporaneously with the closing of the merger in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. BFC continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests. BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge consisted of $60 million in cash, which was utilized to pay a portion of the aggregate merger consideration, and a promissory note in Woodbridge’s favor in the principal amount of $11.75 million (the “Note”). The Note has a term of five years, accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provides for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the Note, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term. During the second and third quarter of 2013, BBX Capital paid to Woodbridge a total of approximately $294,000 of interest on the Note.  In connection with BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, BFC and BBX Capital entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides for, among other things, unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions by Woodbridge to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective percentage equity interests in Woodbridge. During the second and third quarter of 2013, Bluegreen paid a total of $38 million cash dividend to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarter of 2013, Woodbridge declared and paid cash dividends totaling $36.1 million in the aggregate, which were allocated pro rata among BFC and BBX Capital based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge ($19.5 million to BFC and $16.6 million to BBX Capital).

On March 26, 2013, Bluegreen issued $75 million of senior secured notes (the “2013 Notes Payable”) in a private transaction, the proceeds of which, together with approximately $14 million of Bluegreen’s unrestricted cash, were utilized to fund a portion of the merger consideration paid to Bluegreen’s former public shareholders in connection with the closing of the Bluegreen merger during April 2013. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the 2013 Notes Payable.

Two consolidated class action lawsuits relating to the Bluegreen merger remain pending.  The plaintiffs in these actions have asserted that the consideration received by Bluegreen’s minority shareholders in the transaction was inadequate and unfair, and are seeking to recover damages in connection with the transaction. The Company believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend the actions.

GAAP requires that BFC consolidate the financial results of the entities in which it has controlling interest, including BBX Capital, Woodbridge and Bluegreen. 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 BBX Capital, Woodbridge, and Bluegreen, 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 and, in the case of Bluegreen, a subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge. The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the total percent of economic ownership in those entities. At September 30, 2013, BFC had an approximately 52% economic ownership interest in BBX Capital (excluding, for purposes of calculating the total amount of BBX Capital’s outstanding stock, restricted shares issued by BBX Capital to its officers which were unvested as of September 30, 2013). Throughits direct equity interest in Woodbridge, BFC had a54% economic ownership interest in Bluegreen at September 30, 2013. 

The results of our business activities are reported through four segments: Real Estate Operations; Bluegreen Resorts; BBX; and Florida Asset Resolution Group, or FAR.

Discontinued operations include BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Tax Certificates, and Capital Services components, Bluegreen Communities, and Cypress Creek Holdings, LLC (“Cypress Creek Holdings”).

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. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the estimated future sales value of inventory, the recognition of revenue, the recovery of the carrying value of real estate inventories, the fair value of assets measured at, or compared to, fair value on a non-recurring basis such as assets held for sale, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, the valuation of securities, as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the acquisition method of accounting, the estimate of contingent liabilities related to litigation and other claims and assessments, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are: (i) revenue recognition and inventory cost allocation; (ii) the carrying value of completed VOI inventory; (iii) the carrying value of VOIs held for and under development; (iv) allowance for credit and loan losses, including with respect to notes receivable secured by VOIs; (v) the impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets; and (vi) the valuation of Bluegreen’s notes receivable which for accounting purposes were treated as having been acquired by BFC during 2009 in connection with the purchase of additional shares of Bluegreen’s common stock at that time.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from management’s estimates, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted.

5% Preferred stock dividends		-	-	-	(188)
Net income to common shareholders	$	9,603	158,130	5,343	180,901

70

Consolidated net income attributable to BFC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $9.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, compared to $158.1 million and $181.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2012. Net income for the 2012 periods included a gain on sale of approximately $293 million recognized in connection with BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T.  Discontinued operations include the results of BankAtlantic’s community banking, investment, capital services and tax certificate reporting units, as well as Bluegreen Communities, and Cypress Creek Holdings.  See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about discontinued operations. The 5% preferred stock dividend represents the dividend payment made by the Company during the first quarter of 2012 with respect to its mandatorily redeemable 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock. The regular quarterly dividend payments on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock made since the second quarter of 2012 are included as interest expense and are therefore reflected in net income attributable to BFC. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about our mandatorily redeemable 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Consolidated Assets and Liabilities

Total assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The primary changes in components of total assets are summarized below:

· Decrease in cash of $50.3 million, which includes the consideration paid to the former public shareholders of Bluegreen in connection with the closing of the Bluegreen merger in April 2013, net of the $75 million of proceeds of the 2013 Notes Payable issued by Bluegreen during March 2013 which were utilized in connection with the funding of the Bluegreen merger, and proceeds from Bluegreen’s 2013-A Term Securitization of $40.4 million, net of $21.2 million held in a restricted prefunding account, $39.3 million used to repay in full Bluegreen’s BB&T facility, and $9.7 million used to make repayments on Bluegreen’s Liberty Bank facility.

· Decrease in loans receivable balances reflecting $83 million of loan repayments, $30.7 million of loans transferred to real estate owned and $12.8 million of transfers to property and equipment; and

· Increase in real estate owned reflecting the transfer of $30.8 million of loans and tax certificates to real estate owned,partially offset by the sale of properties of $21.6 million of real estate owned properties and $3.3 million of real estate owned write-downs.

Total liabilities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1.0 billion.  The primary changes in components of total liabilities are summarized below:

· Increase in liabilities of $75 million in connection with the 2013 Notes Payable issued by Bluegreen;

· Increase in liabilities related to Bluegreen’s 2013-A Term Securitization of approximately $110.6 million, partially offset by  decreases of $39.3 million related to the full repayment of Bluegreen’s BB&T facility, and $9.7 million related to the repayment of Bluegreen’s Liberty Bank facility; and

· Decrease in BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR of $86.2 million which was paid from the net cash inflows associated with FAR’s assets.

71

BFC

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, BFC’s corporate overhead and selling, general and administrative expenses, including the expenses of Woodbridge unrelated to its investment in Bluegreen and other real estate related activities, were included in a separate reporting segment labeled BFC Activities.  The BFC Activities segment also included our previous investment in Benihana (which we no longer hold following the acquisition of Benihana by Safflower during August 2012), investments made by our wholly-owned subsidiary, BFC/CCC, Inc. (“BFC/CCC”), the financial results of a venture partnership that BFC controls and certain other equity investments, as well as income and expenses associated with BFC’s shared services operations, which provided human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration services to BBX Capital and continues to provide certain risk management and administrative services to BBX Capital and Bluegreen.   During the fourth quarter of 2012, BFC’s management modified its measure of segment operating profit to exclude the items that were previously classified as BFC Activities. These amounts are now included in the reconciliation of segment amounts to the consolidated amounts.  The Company’s segment disclosure has been adjusted to reflect the revised presentation and the results of BFC Activities, which is no longer an operating segment, has been reclassified to unallocated corporate overhead for all periods presented.  See also Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding our operating segments, including the reclassification of the previous BFC Activities segment. 

BFC’s corporate general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with administering the various support functions at its corporate headquarters, including accounting, human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration. 

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $4.2 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $12.5 million and $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

BFC - Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, BFC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $21.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The increase in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments was primarily due to dividends received from Woodbridge of approximately $19.5 million, partially offset by BFC’s operating and general and administrative expenses of approximately $8.4 million, payments of $3.7 million related to executive bonuses, advances to Woodbridge of $0.9 million, and dividend payments of approximately $0.6 million related to our 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BBX Capital, Bluegreen and Woodbridge are not direct obligations of BFC and generally are non-recourse to BFC.  Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent a dividend or distribution from those entities and, in the case of Bluegreen, a subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge. BFC’s principal sources of liquidity are its available cash and short-term investments and dividends from its subsidiaries.  BFC expects to receive dividends from Woodbridge which will be utilized to fund its current and future operations and investments. However, as described below, dividend payments by subsidiaries are dependent on a number of factors and may be subject to limitations, which may not be within BFC’s control. We expect to use our available funds to fund operations and meet our obligations.  We may also use available funds to make additional investments in the companies within our consolidated group, invest in real estate based opportunities and middle market operating businesses, such as the investment we made in Renin during October 2013, invest in equity securities, and or repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. On September 21, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $10 million, subject to market conditions and other factors considered by management.  No shares have been repurchased under our current share repurchase program.

We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from other sources of funds, including potential dividends from Woodbridge, will allow us to meet our anticipated near-term liquidity needs. If those sources of funds are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we might seek to liquidate some of our investments or fund operations with the proceeds of additional debt or equity financing. With respect to long-term liquidity requirements, in addition to the foregoing, we may also seek to raise funds through the incurrence of long-term secured or unsecured indebtedness.  However, these alternatives may not be available to us on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise funds through the sources discussed above would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

72

BFC has not received cash dividends from BBX Capital since March 2009. Prior to its deregistration as a savings and loan holding company following the sale of BankAtlantic, BBX Capital’s payment of dividends was subject to the oversight of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”).  In addition, prior to its sale of BankAtlantic, BBX Capital was restricted from paying dividends pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing its TruPs due to the deferral of interest payments thereunder.  While these restrictions no longer apply, BBX Capital has disclosed that it expects to utilize its available cash to pursue opportunities in accordance with its business and investment strategies and has no current plans to pay cash dividends to its shareholders. BBX Capital will only pay dividends if and when declared by its board of directors, a majority of whom are independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE. Dividend decisions made by BBX Capital’s board of directors may not be in the best interests of BFC and will be based upon such factors as BBX Capital’s board deems to be appropriate, including, without limitation, BBX Capital’s operating results, financial condition, cash position and operating and capital needs.

Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which could limit the payment of cash dividends, and Bluegreen may only pay dividends subject to such restrictions as well as declaration by its board of directors, a majority of whom were independent under the listing standards of the NYSE.  In addition, as a result of the completion of the Bluegreen merger on April 2, 2013, Woodbridge, as the parent company of Bluegreen, is entitled to 100% of all dividends paid by Bluegreen and any subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge requires the approval of the boards of directors of both BBX Capital and BFC which own 46% and 54% of Woodbridge, respectively. During the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid cash dividends totaling $38 million to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Woodbridge declared and paid cash dividends totaling $36.1 million, which were allocated pro rata to BFC and BBX Capital based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge ($19.5 million to BFC and $16.6 million to BBX Capital).

On June 7, 2004, the Company’s board of directors designated 15,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock. On June 21, 2004, the Company sold all 15,000 shares of its 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to an investor group in a private offering. The Company’s 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share. The shares of 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company, from time to time, at redemption prices ranging from $1,010 per share for the twelve month period ending April 29, 2014 to $1,000 per share for the twelve month period ending April 29, 2016.  The 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock’s liquidation preference is equal to its stated value of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or an amount equal to the applicable redemption price in a voluntary liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as provided by Florida law, and are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s board of directors (and, prior to August 31, 2012, upon the written non-objection of the Federal Reserve), cumulative quarterly cash dividends on each such share at a rate per annum of 5% of the stated value from the date of issuance. From the second quarter of 2004 through the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid quarterly dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock of $187,500. From the fourth quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2012, the Company decided not to seek the written non-objection of the Federal Reserve to dividend payments on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock and, therefore, the Company accrued unpaid dividend payments totaling approximately $563,000 as of June 30, 2012.  As previously described, as a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T on July 31, 2012, BFC was released from registration as a savings and loan holding company, effective July 31, 2012.  Following such deregistration, the unpaid dividends of $563,000 were paid by BFC. BFC has subsequently paid regular quarterly cash dividends of $187,500 on its 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock. As a result of the re-classification of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to a liability in connection with the Second Amendment described below, the dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock paid since the second quarter of 2012 plus accretable interest is included as interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

On December 17, 2008, certain of the previously designated relative rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were amended (the “First Amendment”) to eliminate the right of the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to convert their shares into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The First Amendment also required the Company to redeem shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock with the net proceeds received in the event the Company sold any shares of Benihana’s stock that it owned and entitled the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, in the event the Company defaulted on its dividend payment obligation with respect to such stock, to receive directly from Benihana the payments due (collectively, the “Benihana Stock Provisions”).

On April 4, 2012, the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were further amended (the “Second Amendment”).  Pursuant to the Second Amendment, to the extent the shares are not earlier

73

redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption right, described above, the Company will be required to redeem 5,000 shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock during each of the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 for an aggregate annual redemption price of $5.0 million, or $1,000 per share. The Second Amendment also provides that, in the event that the Company defaults on its dividend or mandatory redemption obligations, subject to certain limitations, the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the Company shares of common stock of Bluegreen owned by the Company having, in the aggregate, a fair market value equal to the amount of the dividend or redemption payment, as the case may be, to the extent not timely paid.  In consideration therefor, the Second Amendment eliminated the Benihana Stock Provisions.

Prior to September 21, 2009, BFC owned an approximately 23% economic ownership interest and 59% voting interest in Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (“WHC”), which at that time was a separate publicly traded company.  On September 21, 2009, BFC and WHC consummated their merger pursuant to which WHC merged with and into Woodbridge, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC at that time, and the shareholders of WHC (other than BFC) were entitled to receive 3.47 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock for each share of WHC’s Class A Common Stock they held at the effective time of the merger. Under Florida law, holders of WHC’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve the merger 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 WHC’s Class A Common Stock, rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of WHC’s Class A Common Stock.  Under Florida law, Woodbridge thereafter initiated legal proceedings relating to the appraisal process. In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital.  On July 5, 2012, the presiding court ruled the fair value of the Dissenting Holders’ shares of WHC’s Class A Common Stock to be $1.78 per share and awarded legal and other costs in favor of the Dissenting Holders. As a result of the trial court’s ruling, the $4.6 million liability was increased to approximately $7.5 million as of June 30, 2012 (with a corresponding reduction to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million) to account for the per share value awarded.  On March 11, 2013, the court awarded legal fees and pre and post judgment interest to the Dissenting Holders for a total award of approximately $11.9 million (including the $7.5 million based on the $1.78 per share value determination).  As a result, the liability was increased by approximately $4.4 million to $11.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. During April 2013, Woodbridge appealed the court’s ruling with respect to its fair value determination and the award of legal fees and costs and posted a $13.4 million bond in connection with the appeal. The outcome of the appeal is uncertain.

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. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $231,000 and $282,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. In connection with the purchase of the office building by the limited liability company in June 2007, BFC guaranteed the payment of certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations that are not related to the financial performance of the property up to a maximum of $15.0 million, or $25.0 million in the event of any petition or involuntary proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfer of interests not in accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates. No amounts are recorded on the Company’s financial statements for the obligations associated with this guarantee based on the potential indemnification by the unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.

Woodbridge

Woodbridge, at its parent company level, had cash and cash equivalents totaling $557,000 at September 30, 2013. Woodbridge’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash holdings and dividend distributions received from Bluegreen. As previously described,  during the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid cash dividends totaling $38 million to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Woodbridge paid cash dividends totaling $36.1 million to its members, BFC and BBX Capital.

Woodbridge’s material commitments as of September 30, 2013 primarily include required quarterly interest payments on its $85 million junior subordinated debentures.  The total amount of interest payments expected to be made by Woodbridge on its junior subordinated debt over the next twelve months is approximately $3.5 million.  .

74

Real Estate Operations

The Real Estate Operations segment includes the subsidiaries through which Woodbridge historically conducted its real estate business activities. These activities were concentrated in Florida and South Carolina and included the development and sale of land, the construction and sale of single family homes and townhomes and the leasing of commercial properties through Woodbridge’s subsidiaries, Core Communities, LLC (“Core”) and Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (“Carolina Oak”).

As a result of significant challenges faced, a decision was made to cease all activities at Carolina Oak during 2009.  Woodbridge was the obligor under a $37.2 million loan collateralized by property owned by Carolina Oak.  During 2009, the lender declared the loan to be in default and filed an action for foreclosure.  On April 26, 2011, a settlement agreement was entered into to resolve the disputes and litigation relating to the loan. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the settlement agreement, (i) Woodbridge paid $2.5 million to the note holder, (ii) Carolina Oak conveyed to the note holder the real property securing the loan and (iii) the note holder agreed not to pursue certain remedies, including a deficiency judgment, and after the expiration of an agreed-upon time period (which expired during April 2012), to fully release Woodbridge and Carolina Oak. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a deferred gain on debt settlement of $29.9 million was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2011 and was recognized into income during the second quarter of 2012 as a result of the full release of Woodbridge and Carolina Oak during April 2012.

The Real Estate Operations segment also previously included the operations of Cypress Creek Holdings, a subsidiary of Woodbridge which engaged in leasing activities in an office building that it owned prior to its sale of the building during January 2012.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012.

There were no real estate sales or other revenues during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012 due to the cessation of operations at Core and Carolina Oak.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were not significant.

Real Estate Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to the cessation of operations at Core and Carolina Oak, the cash and cash equivalents balance with respect to the Real Estate Operations segment at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was not significant.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge’s former wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiary, had approximately $33.3 million of surety bonds related to its ongoing projects at November 9, 2007, the date on which Levitt and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Woodbridge had no accruals related to these surety bonds; however, in the event that the obligations are drawn and paid by the surety, Woodbridge could be responsible for up to $2.2 million plus costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements. Woodbridge will not receive any repayment, assets or other consideration as recovery of any amounts it may be required to pay. No reimbursements were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.

In September 2008, a surety filed a lawsuit to require Woodbridge to post collateral against a portion of the surety bond exposure in connection with demands made by a municipality. Based on claims made by the municipality on the bonds, the surety requested that Woodbridge post a $4.0 million escrow deposit while the matter was being litigated. While Woodbridge did not believe that the municipality had the right to demand payment under the bonds, Woodbridge complied with that request. In August 2010, a motion for summary judgment was entered in Woodbridge’s favor terminating any obligations under the bonds. Subsequent to the motion being granted, the municipality appealed the decision. On March 8, 2012, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s granting of Woodbridge’s motion for summary judgment. During May 2012, the Company received a refund of $3.8 million of the escrow deposit.  During April 2013, Woodbridge received approximately $50,000 of the remaining $200,000 escrow deposit and the balance of $150,000 was paid for legal fees related to the matter.

Bluegreen Resorts

Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and management company, primarily focused on the vacation ownership industry. Bluegreen’s business historically was conducted through two operating segments – Bluegreen’s resorts business segment (“Bluegreen Resorts”) and Bluegreen’s residential communities business segment (“Bluegreen Communities”).  As a result of Bluegreen’s sale of substantially all of the assets that comprised Bluegreen Communities in May 2012, Bluegreen’s continuing operations relate solely to Bluegreen Resorts. The operating results of Bluegreen Communities are classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Bluegreen Resorts markets, sells and manages vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) in resorts, which are generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, and were either developed or acquired by Bluegreen or developed and owned by others.  When owned by others, Bluegreen earns fees for providing these services.  Bluegreen Resorts also provides property association management services, mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services.  In addition, Bluegreen Resorts provides financing to credit-qualified individual purchasers of VOIs, which provides significant interest income to Bluegreen.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013:

· VOI system-wide sales, which include sales of third-party inventory, increased 22% to $130.2 million compared to $107.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. 

· Bluegreen sold $43.8 million of third-party inventory under commission arrangements within its fee-based service business and earned sales and marketing commissions of approximately $28.8 million. In addition, Bluegreen sold $10.0 million of inventory under “just-in-time” arrangements within its fee-based service business, whereby Bluegreen acquires inventory from its third-party clients in close proximity to the sale of such inventory.  Including Bluegreen’s resort management, title services, construction management and other fee-based operations, Bluegreen’s total fee-based service revenues were $59.0 million, a 25% increase over the same period in 2012.

· Bluegreen completed the 2013-A Term Securitization, a private offering and sale of investment-grade, timeshare loan-backed notes. Gross proceeds of such sales, including anticipated proceeds attributable to notes receivable expected to be added to the trust established for purposes of the transaction,prior to December 26, 2013,  are estimated to be $110.6 million. A portion of the proceeds received to date was used to repay all $39.3 million outstanding under Bluegreen’s existing purchase facility with BB&T and repay approximately $9.7 million under Bluegreen’s existing facility with Liberty Bank, which in the aggregate created additional availability under these facilities of approximately $49 million. See Bluegreen’s Liquidity and Capital Resources – Other Outstanding Receivable-Backed Notes Payable below for additional information.

Seasonality

Bluegreen has historically experienced and expects to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in its revenues and results of operations.  This seasonality has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in Bluegreen’s quarterly operating results.  Although Bluegreen typically sees more potential customers at Bluegreen’s sales offices during the quarters ending in June and September, ultimate recognition of the resulting sales during these periods may be delayed due to down payment requirements for recognition of real estate sales under GAAP or due to the timing of development and the requirement that Bluegreen use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

Notes Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Bluegreen offers financing to buyers of its VOIs who meet certain minimum requirements and, accordingly, Bluegreen is subject to the risk of defaults by those customers.  Pursuant to GAAP, sales of VOIs are reduced by an estimate of future uncollectible note balances on originated VOI notes receivables, excluding any benefit for the value of future recoveries of defaulted VOI inventory.  Bluegreen updates its estimate of such future losses each quarter, and consequently, the charge against sales in a particular period may be impacted, favorably or unfavorably, by a change in Bluegreen’s expected losses related to notes originated in prior periods.

76

Bluegreen’s notes receivable also include amounts outstanding under Bluegreen Communities’ notes receivable portfolio, which was excluded from the May 2012 sale of substantially all of the assets of Bluegreen Communities. 

Substantially, all of Bluegreen’s defaulted VOI notes receivable result in a recovery of the related VOI that secured the note receivable, typically after default and at a nominal cost. Bluegreen then attempts to resell the recovered VOI in the normal course of business. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information about Bluegreen’s notes receivable, including Bluegreen’s allowance for credit losses.

The average annual default rates and delinquency rates (more than 30 days past due) on Bluegreen’s notes receivable were as follows:

(1) Percentages for estimated uncollectible VOI receivable are calculated as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs (and not of system-wide sales of VOIs, net).

(2) Percentages for cost of VOIs sold and gross profit are calculated based on sales of VOIs (and not of system-wide sales of VOIs, net).

(3) Percentages for fee-based sales commission revenue are calculated based on sales of third-party VOIs-commission basis (and not of system-wide sales of VOIs, net).

(4) Unless otherwise indicated.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012.

System-wide sales of VOIs, net. System-wide sales of VOIs, net include all sales of VOIs, regardless of whether Bluegreen or a third-party owned the VOI immediately prior to the sale. The increase in system-wide sales of VOIs, net, during the 2013 periods compared to the same periods in 2012 is primarily the result of an increase in the number of tours and a slight increase in the sale-to-tour conversion ratio. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the number of tours increased by 10% and 14%, respectively,  compared to the same periods in 2012. The increase in the number of tours reflects efforts to expand marketing to sales prospects through new marketing initiatives.

The following table sets forth certain information for system-wide sales of VOIs, net for the periods indicated.  The information is provided before giving effect to the deferral of Bluegreen VOI sales in accordance with GAAP:

Sales of VOIs. Sales of VOIs represent sales of Bluegreen-owned VOIs, including VOIs obtained on a “just-in-time” basis as part of Bluegreen’s fee-based service business and those acquired by Bluegreen from property ownership associations (“POAs”), reduced by Bluegreen’s estimate of uncollectible VOI notes receivable. See Liquidity andCapital Resources below for a description of “just-in-time” sales.  In addition to the factors impacting system-wide sales of VOIs, net, sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of VOIs sold on behalf of third-parties on a commission basis.

Bluegreen’s estimated uncollectible VOI notes receivable as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs were 10% and 12% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 13% and 11% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Included in Sales of VOIs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is a $5.7 million impairment charge related to the notes receivable deemed to have been acquired by BFC, indirectly through Woodbridge, in connection with Woodbridge’s November 2009 acquisition of approximately 7.4 million additional shares of Bluegreen’s Common Stock, which resulted in BFC, indirectly through Woodbridge, holding a controlling interest in Bluegreen.  Bluegreen’s estimated uncollectible VOI notes receivable as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs (before such impairment charge) would have been 11% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. There was no impairment charge for the same period in 2012. Bluegreen’s estimate of uncollectible VOI notes receivable varies between periods based on the percentage of VOIs which Bluegreen finances during a period and changes in the estimates of future credit losses.  While Bluegreen believes its notes receivable are adequately reserved at this time, actual defaults may differ from its estimates and additional losses may be incurred. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding Bluegreen’s notes receivable as of September 30, 2013.

Cost of VOIs Sold. Cost of VOIs sold represents the cost at which Bluegreen-owned VOIs sold during the period were relieved from inventory. In addition to Bluegreen’s inventory from its traditional timeshare business (“Legacy Inventory”), Bluegreen-owned VOIs also include those that were acquired by Bluegreen under “just-in-time” arrangements within the fee-based service business and those acquired by Bluegreen from POAs. Compared to the cost of Bluegreen’s Legacy Inventory, VOIs acquired through “just-in-time” arrangements typically have a relatively higher associated product cost while those acquired from POAs typically have a lower product cost, as such inventory is generally obtained by the POAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults.  During each of the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, cost of VOIs sold was 14%of sales of VOIs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, cost of VOIs sold was 13% and 12% of sales of VOIs, respectively. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs varies between periods based on the relative costs of the specific VOIs sold in each period and the size of the point packages of the VOIs sold (due to offered volume discounts, including consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of project sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs. While Bluegreen believes that there is additional POA inventory and other inventory that can be obtained through the secondary market at favorable costs to Bluegreen in the future, there can be no assurance that such inventory will be so available.

Fee-Based Sales Commission Revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Bluegreen sold $43.8 million and $41.7 million, respectively, of third-party inventory under commission arrangements within its fee-based service business and earned sales and marketing commissions of $28.8 million and $27.8 million, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Bluegreen sold $114.0 million and $100.8 million, respectively, of third-party inventory under the commission arrangements within its fee-based service business and earned sales and marketing commissions of $74.4 million and $66.3 million, respectively.  The increase in sales of third-party inventory during the 2013 periods compared to the 2012 periods is due to the increased number of fee-based service clients which Bluegreen served, as well as an increase in sales tours, as described above with respect to the overall increase in system-wide sales of VOIs, net.

Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory. Bluegreen is responsible for paying maintenance fees and developer subsidies for unsold Bluegreen VOI inventory to the property owners’ associations that maintain the resorts. Bluegreen attempts to mitigate this expense, to the extent possible, through the rental of its owned VOIs and through proceeds from Bluegreen’s sampler programs. Thecarrying cost of Bluegreen’s inventory was $4.7 million and $3.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was partly offset by rental and sampler revenues, net of expenses, of $3.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The carrying cost of Bluegreen’s inventory was $14.8 million and $14.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was partly offset by rental and sampler revenues, net of expenses, of $9.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively.  The change in the net carrying cost of VOI inventory during the 2013 periods compared to the same periods of 2012 represents higher carrying costs associated with the recent opening of resorts in Big Bear, California and in Missouri offset by increased revenue from the use of Bluegreen’s sampler programs.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Bluegreen’s selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of system-wide sales, net, decreased from 46% during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 45% during the three months ended September 30, 2013, and increased from 45% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 47% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase during the 2013 nine-month period compared to the same period in 2012 was a result of increased costs associated with new marketing initiatives focused on selling to new customers, and a lower proportion of sales to existing owners, which carry a relatively lower marketing cost. Bluegreen currently expects to continue to focus on increasing its marketing efforts to new customers as opposed to existing owners and, as a result, its sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales may continue to increase.

General and Administrative Expenses. Bluegreen’s general and administrative expenses increased by 13% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 and increased by 18% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the 2013 periods compared to the same periods in 2012 is primarily due to increases in executive long term incentive compensation and increased spending on information technology. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenues from mortgage servicing of $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, have been netted against general and administrative expenses. For the same periods ended September 30, 2012, revenues from mortgage servicing that were netted against general and administrative expenses were $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Other Fee-Based Services Revenue.Bluegreen’s other fee-based services revenue, which includes revenue from club and property management services, VOI title services, reservation services and construction design and development services, increased 9% and 7% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. Management services revenues increased due to an increase in commissions from providing rental services to third-parties and an increase in club and property management revenues. Bluegreen managed 45 timeshare resort properties as of both September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Cost of Other Fee-Based Services.Bluegreen’scost of other fee-based services was $11.2 million and $9.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $32.6 million and $28.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The costs of providing management services increased during the 2013 periods compared to the same periods in 2012 in connection with the higher service volumes described above as well as increased costs associated with programs provided to VOI owners.

Net Interest Spread.  Bluegreen’s net interest spread increased by 9% and 6% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2012. Bluegreen’s net interest spread during the 2013 periods reflected decreased interest expense as a result of lower average outstanding debt balances and lower costs of borrowing, offset by lower interest income as a result of the continued decrease in Bluegreen’s

81

VOI notes receivable portfolio. Additionally, Bluegreen’s net interest spread for the 2013 periods reflects the receipt of a refund of $1.0 million from the Internal Revenue Service for amounts Bluegreen previously paid related to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 453. IRC Section 453 requires that certain companies pay interest on income deferred under the installment method of profit recognition.

Bluegreen’s effective cost of borrowing was 6.5% and 7.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

Other Income, net.  Bluegreen’s  other income, net was $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Bluegreen’s other income, net was $0.7 million and $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest.  The results of operations and financial position of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC (the “Big Cedar Joint Venture”), Bluegreen’s 51%-owned subsidiary, are consolidated into Bluegreen’s and BFC’s financial statements.  Bluegreen’s net income attributable to non-controlling interest is the portion of Bluegreen’s consolidated pre-tax income that is attributable to Big Cedar, LLC, the unaffiliated 49% interest holder in the Big Cedar Joint Venture.  Bluegreen’s net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $3.7 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $10.8 million and $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

Provision for Income Taxes.  Bluegreen’s effective income tax rate related to continuing operations was approximately 39% and 40% during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Bluegreen’s effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon Bluegreen’s current estimated annual rate. Bluegreen’s annual effective income tax rate varies based upon the estimate of taxable earnings as well as on the mix of taxable earnings in the various states in which Bluegreen operates.

Changes in Bluegreen’s Financial Condition

The following table summarizes Bluegreen’s cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): 

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2013	2012
Cash flows  provided by operating activities	$	79,725	115,257
Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities		(8,651)	23,449
Cash flows used in financing activities		(90,055)	(119,401)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(18,981)	19,305

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Bluegreen’s operating cash flows decreased by $35.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to the following:

· In 2013, Bluegreen commenced inventory-related spending in connection with its “just-in-time” fee-based service initiative. During the 2013 period, Bluegreen paid its “just-in-time” clients $13.2 million for inventory, which would typically be sold within 90 days of purchase.  See Bluegreen’s Liquidity and Capital Resources below for further detail related to Bluegreen’s “just-in-time” fee-based service initiative;

· In 2013, Bluegreen increased spending in connection with marketing efforts to new customers (which have a relatively higher cost than marketing to existing owners) and increased spending in connection with its strategic alliance with Choice Hotels. While the initiatives described above require immediate cash outlays, the anticipated associated cash benefit is typically realized in future periods;  and

· Payments of executive incentive compensation earned and accrued during 2012 under Bluegreen’s executive incentive compensation plan, and payments of executive compensation earned and paid during 2013 under Bluegreen’s executive incentive compensation plan.

82

Cash Flows from Investing Activities.  Bluegreen’s cash generated by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes the $27.8 million of net proceeds received from the sale of Bluegreen Communities, the majority of which was used to repay Bluegreen’s H4BG Communities Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Bluegreen spent $8.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, on property and equipment. The increase in spending during the 2013 period was related to new information technology initiatives and renovations at certain sales offices

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Bluegreen used less cash for financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012 primarily due to higher debt payments during the 2012 period which included payoffs of both the H4BG Communities Facility and Wells Fargo Term Loan. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Big Cedar Joint Venture made distributions to its 49% equity holder of approximately $7.4 million, while no such distributions were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Cash used by financing activities during the 2013 period reflects proceeds of $75.0 million from Bluegreen’s issuance of the 2013 Notes Payable, which along with an additional $14.2 million of Bluegreen’s unrestricted cash, were used to fund a portion of the consideration paid to Bluegreen’s former public shareholders in connection with the closing of the Bluegreen merger in April 2013. Additionally, during the second and the third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid cash dividends totaling $38.0 million to Woodbridge.

During the 2013 period, Bluegreen also received proceeds from the 2013-A Term Securitization of $110.6 million, less $21.2 million held in a restricted prefunding account, a portion of which was used to repay $39.3 million under the BB&T facility and $9.7 million under the Liberty Bank facility.

For additional information on the availability of cash from Bluegreen’s existing credit facilities as well as Bluegreen’s repayment obligations, see Bluegreen’sLiquidity and Capital Resources below.

Bluegreen’s Liquidity and Capital Resources

Bluegreen’s primary sources of funds from internal operations are: (i) cash sales, (ii) down payments on VOI sales which are financed, (iii) proceeds from the sale of, or borrowings collateralized by, notes receivable, (iv) cash from finance operations, including mortgage servicing fees and principal and interest payments received on the purchase money mortgage loans arising from sales of VOIs, and (v) net cash generated from sales and marketing fee-based services and other resort fee-based services, including resorts management operations.

While the vacation ownership business has historically been capital intensive, Bluegreen has sought to reduce its capital requirements and to emphasize the generation of “free cash flow” (defined as cash flow from operating and investing activities) by (i) incentivizing its sales associates and creating programs with third-party credit card companies to generate a higher percentage of sales in cash; (ii) maintaining sales volumes that focus on efficient marketing channels; (iii) minimizing capital and inventory expenditures; and (iv) utilizing sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, resort management services, title and construction expertise to pursue fee-based-service business relationships that generally require minimal up-front capital investment and have the potential to produce incremental cash flows. 

Historically, Bluegreen’s business model has depended on the availability of credit in the commercial markets.  VOI sales are generally dependent upon providing financing to buyers. The ability to sell and/or borrow against notes receivable from VOI buyers has been a critical factor in Bluegreen’s continued liquidity.  A financed VOI buyer is only required to pay a minimum of 10% to 20% of the purchase price in cash at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing, and administrative expenses attributable to the sale are primarily cash expenses that generally exceed a buyer’s minimum required down payment.  Accordingly, having financing facilities available for the hypothecation, sale, or transfer of these VOI receivables has been a critical factor in Bluegreen’s ability to meet its short and long-term cash needs.  Bluegreen has attempted to maintain a number of diverse financing facilities.  Historically, Bluegreen has relied on its ability to sell receivables in the term securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in its receivable facilities. In addition, maintaining adequate VOI inventory to sell and pursue growth into new markets has historically required Bluegreen to incur debt for the acquisition, construction and development of new resorts.  Bluegreen’s development expenditures during all of 2013 are expected to be in a range of approximately $15 million to $20 million, with the majority of spending related to the Big Cedar Joint Venture. However, if the opportunity to acquire a strategic property on favorable terms presents itself, Bluegreen may decide to acquire additional VOI inventory, which would increase acquisition and development expenditures and may require the incurrence of additional debt.

83

In connection with Bluegreen’s fee-based services business, Bluegreen enters into agreements with third party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory from time to time on a “just in time” basis. These just in time VOI inventory purchase agreements have typically been structured to allow Bluegreen to purchase the inventory just prior to the sale of such VOI. Additionally, Bluegreen enters into arrangements with certain resort property owner associations (“POAs”), typically on a non-committed basis, which allows Bluegreen to acquire VOIs from the POAs; generally at a significant discount as such VOIs are typically obtained by the POAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults.

Bluegreen’s available funds may also be invested in real estate based opportunities and middle market operating businesses outside of the timeshare and hospitality industries. Bluegreen, as a lender, may also enter into lending arrangements with other companies, such as the $12 million loan and revolving credit facility provided by a subsidiary of Bluegreen to Renin during October 2013.

On March 26, 2013, Bluegreen issued $75.0 million of notes payable (the “2013 Notes Payable”) in a private financing transaction. The 2013 Notes Payable are secured by certain of Bluegreen’s assets, including primarily the cash flows from the residual interests relating to Bluegreen’s term securitizations and VOI inventory in the BG Club 36 resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pursuant to the terms, Bluegreen is required to periodically pledge reacquired VOI inventory in the BG Club 36 resort. Additional residual interests from future term securitizations, if any, may also be pledged. The 2013 Notes Payable initially accrued interest at a fixed rate of 8.8%. During April 2013, the interest rate prospectively decreased to a fixed rate of 8.05% based on a final rating obtained from a rating agency. The 2013 Notes Payable mature in March 2020, with certain required amortization during the seven-year term. The terms include certain covenants and events of default, which are generally considered customary for transactions of this type. The proceeds were used to fund a portion of the consideration paid to Bluegreen’s former public shareholders in connection with the closing of the Bluegreen merger during April 2013.

During the second and third quarter of 2013, Bluegreen paid a total of approximately $38 million in dividends to Woodbridge. Bluegreen expects to continue to pay dividends to Woodbridge on a regular basis, subject to declaration by Bluegreen’s Board of Directors and limitations contained in Bluegreen’s current or future credit facilities.

On September 26, 2013, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale of approximately $110.6 million of investment-grade, timeshare loan-backed notes (the "2013-A Term Securitization"). The 2013-A Term Securitization consisted of the issuance of two tranches of timeshare loan-backed notes: approximately $89.1 million of Class A and $21.5 million of Class B notes with note interest rates of 3.01% and 4.00%, respectively, which blended to an overall weighted average note interest rate of approximately 3.20%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 93.75%. The notes mature on December 4, 2028.

The amount of the timeshare receivables sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2013-A (the “Trust”) was approximately $118.0 million, approximately $95.4 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $22.6 million is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to December 26, 2013. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $110.6 million. A portion of the proceeds received to date was used to: repay Branch Banking and Trust Company approximately $39.3 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under Bluegreen's existing purchase facility with BB&T; repay Liberty Bank approximately $9.7 million, (including accrued interest and a prepayment fee) under Bluegreen's existing facility with Liberty Bank; capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. Prior to the closing of the 2013-A Term Securitization, Bluegreen, as servicer, funded approximately $15.4 million in connection with the servicer redemption of the notes related to the trust established for Bluegreen’s 2005 Term Securitization, and certain of the timeshare loans in such trusts were sold to the Trust in connection with the 2013-A Term Securitization. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2013-A Term Securitization (net of the servicer redemption) of approximately $43.0 million, of which approximately $21.2 million is expected to be received as the aforementioned approximately $22.6 million of timeshare receivables are sold to the Trust, are expected to be used by Bluegreen for general corporate purposes. As a result of the facility repayments described above, immediately after the closing of the 2013-A Term Securitization, (i) there were no amounts outstanding under the BB&T Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $40.0 million on a revolving basis through December 17, 2013 and (ii) there was approximately $14.1 million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50.0 million on a revolving basis through March 1, 2015. Thus, additional availability of approximately $49 million in the aggregate was created under the BB&T Purchase Facility and Liberty Bank Facility.

Bluegreen’s level of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on Bluegreen’s operations, including the following: (i) significant debt service cash requirements reduce the funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increases Bluegreen’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets, generally; (ii) Bluegreen’s leverage position increases its vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures; (iii) the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other agreements relating to Bluegreen’s indebtedness require Bluegreen to meet certain financial tests and restrict Bluegreen’s ability to, among other things, pay dividends, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or make investments; and (iv) Bluegreen’s leverage position may limit funds available for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, and other general corporate purposes. Certain of Bluegreen’s competitors operate on a less leveraged basis and have greater operating and financial flexibility than Bluegreen does.

Credit Facilities for Bluegreen Receivables with Future Availability

Bluegreen maintains various credit facilities with financial institutions that allow Bluegreen to borrow against or sell its VOI notes receivable. The following is a discussion of the material purchase and credit facilities that were important sources of Bluegreen’s liquidity as of September 30, 2013. These facilities do not constitute all of Bluegreen’s outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2013. Other indebtedness of Bluegreen includes the 2013 Notes Payable, Bluegreen’s junior subordinated debentures, and borrowings collateralized by real estate inventories that were not incurred pursuant to a significant credit facility.  See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding Bluegreen’s outstanding debt as of September 30, 2013.

Bluegreen had the following credit facilities with future availability as of September 30, 2013, all of which are subject to revolving availability terms during the advance period and provide for additional availability as the facility is paid down, subject to compliance with covenants, eligible collateral and applicable terms and conditions (dollars in thousands): 

		Borrowing Limit		Outstanding Balance as of September 30, 2013		Availability as of  September 30, 2013		Advance Period Expiration; Borrowing Maturity	Borrowing Rate; Rate as of September 30, 2013

	$	190,000		71,110		118,890

⁽¹⁾ Of the amount outstanding as of September 30, 2013, $4.2 million bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR + 5.25% subject to a floor of 6.75%; and $11.6 million bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR +3.5% subject to a floor of 4.5%. Future borrowings will incur interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 4.5%, subject to an interest rate floor of 6.0%.

⁽²⁾ The outstanding balance presented in the table above includes $4.4 million outstanding under the CapitalSource Term Loan. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further information regarding the CapitalSource Term Loan.

⁽³⁾ Interest charged on this facility is subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%.  Additionally, as described in further detail below, the interest rate on the BB&T Purchase Facility will increase to the LIBOR rate plus 5.5% upon the expiration of the advance period.

⁽⁴⁾ Of the amount outstanding as of September 30, 2013, $13.3 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.9% and $6.0 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.5%. The interest rate on future borrowings is 5.5%.

Liberty Bank Facility. Bluegreen has had a timeshare receivables hypothecation facility with Liberty Bank (the “Liberty Bank Facility”) since 2008. The Liberty Bank facility, as amended in December 2012, provides for maximum outstanding borrowings of $50.0 million at an 85% advance rate on eligible receivables pledged under the facility through March 2015, subject to customary terms and conditions. Principal repayments are made and interest

85

is paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance maturing in March 2018. The facility bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.0%, subject to an interest rate floor of 6.0%.

NBA Receivables Facility. The Big Cedar Joint Venture has a timeshare notes receivable hypothecation facility with the National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”). In October 2012, the NBA Receivables Facility was amended to provide for maximum outstanding borrowings of $30.0 million on a revolving basis through October 2014 secured by eligible timeshare receivables from the Big Cedar Joint Venture.  Under the amended facility, advances made subsequent to the date of the amendment are subject to an advance rate of 85% and, other than the one-time advances described below which were made during December 2012, bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 4.5% per annum subject to a floor of 6.0%. Certain advances are also subject to a 1.5% loan fee.  The outstanding balance prior to the amendment continues to bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 5.25% subject to a floor of 6.75%. In December 2012, the Big Cedar Joint Venture received a one-time receivables advance at an advance rate of 85%, and a one-time availability advance, which bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 3.5% subject to a floor of 4.5%.As of September 30, 2013, $4.2 million of the outstanding balance bears interest at 6.75% pursuant to the terms of the original agreement and $11.6 million of the outstanding balance relates to the one-time advances described above and bears interest at 4.5%.  All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility.  All amounts will mature and be due on April 10, 2020 subject to earlier required periodic repayment of principal to satisfy certain balance requirements set forth in the facility.

CapitalSource Facility.Since September 2011, Bluegreen has maintained a revolving timeshare receivables hypothecation facility (the “CapitalSource Facility”) with CapitalSource Bank which provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period.  In July 2013, the CapitalSource Facility was amended to increase the aggregate borrowing base, extend the revolving period and the maturity date, increase the advance rate for certain eligible receivables, and reduce the interest rate. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the aggregate maximum outstanding borrowings were increased from $35.0 million to $40.0 million less the amounts outstanding under the CapitalSource Term Loan (as described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report), and the revolving credit period was extended through September 2016, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of CapitalSource Bank. Eligible “A” receivables that meet certain eligibility and FICO® score requirements, which Bluegreen’s management believes are typically consistent with loans originated under Bluegreen’s current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The CapitalSource Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” receivables (which have less stringent FICO® score requirements) to be funded at a 45% advance rate. The interest rate on all existing and future borrowings under the CapitalSource Facility was reduced to the 30-day LIBOR plus 4.50% (from 30-day LIBOR plus 5.75%). Principal repayments and interest are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving credit period, with the remaining outstanding balance maturing in September 2019, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of CapitalSource Bank. Prior to the amendment, the CapitalSource Facility was scheduled to mature in September 2016.  The CapitalSource Facility is cross-collateralized with the CapitalSource Term Loan.

BB&T Purchase Facility. Since 2004, Bluegreen has had a timeshare notes receivable purchase facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (the “BB&T Purchase Facility”). On December 24, 2012, the BB&T Purchase Facility was amended to provide for maximum outstanding borrowings of $40.0 million, on a revolving basis, secured by timeshare receivables at an advance rate of 67.5% through December 17, 2013, subject to the terms of the facility, eligible collateral and customary terms and conditions. The amendment also extended the maturity date of the BB&T Purchase Facility until thirty-six months after the revolving advance period has expired (the “Term-Out Period”), or earlier under certain circumstances set forth in the facility. The interest rate on the BB&T Purchase Facility prior to the commencement of the Term-Out Period equals the LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. During the Term-Out Period, the interest rate will increase to the LIBOR rate plus 5.5%. In each case, the LIBOR rate is subject to a floor of 0.75%.

Subject to the terms of the facility, Bluegreen will receive the excess cash flows generated by the receivables sold (excess meaning after payments of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) until the commencement of the Term-Out Period, at which point all of the excess cash flow will be paid to Branch Banking and Trust Company until the outstanding balance is reduced to zero. While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the BB&T Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

Quorum Purchase Facility. Since December 2010, Bluegreen has maintained a timeshare notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”). In March 2013, the

86

Quorum Purchase Facility was amended and expanded. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment and subject to certain conditions precedent, Quorum agreed to purchase on a revolving basis through March 31, 2014 eligible timeshare receivables in an amount of up to an aggregate $30.0 million purchase price. The amended terms of the Quorum Purchase Facility reflect an 85% advance rate, and provide for a program fee rate of 5.5% per annum, with respect to any future advances. Advances are also subject to a loan purchase fee of 0.5%.  As of September 30, 2013, $13.3 million of the outstanding balance bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.9%, and $6.0 million of the outstanding balance bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.5%. Eligibility requirements for receivables sold include, among others, that the obligors under the timeshare notes receivable sold be members of Quorum at the time of the note sale. Subject to performance of the collateral, Bluegreen will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred to Quorum under the facility (excess meaning after payments of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their timeshare loans. While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

Commitments

Bluegreen’s material commitments as of September 30, 2013 included the required payments due on its receivable-backed debt, lines-of-credit and other notes payable, junior subordinated debentures, commitments to complete its projects based on Bluegreen’s sales contracts with customers, subsidy advances to certain property owners’ associations, and commitments under non-cancelable operating leases.

The following table summarizes the contractual minimum principal and interestpayments, net of unamortized discount, required on all of Bluegreen’s outstanding debt and its non-cancelable operating leases by period due date, as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

		Payments Due by Period

(1) Legacy Securitization payments included in the receivable-backed notes payable after 5 years are presented net of a discount of $0.8 million.  

(2) Assumes that the scheduled minimum principal payments are made in accordance with the table above and the interest rate on variable rate debt remains the same as the rate at September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, cash required to satisfy Bluegreen’s development obligations related to resort buildings and resort amenities is estimated to be approximately $4.7 million. Bluegreen also estimates that the cash required to satisfy its retained development obligations related to certain Bluegreen Communities projects is approximately $1.0 million as of September 30, 2013. These expenditures are expected to be funded over the next three to five years, primarily with cash generated from operations; however, cash generated by operations may not be sufficient or generated in the time frames necessary to complete these commitments and actual costs may exceed the amounts

87

estimated. Each of the foregoing estimates assumes that Bluegreen will not be obligated to develop any building, project or amenity in which a commitment has not been made pursuant to a sales contract with a customer or other obligations; however, Bluegreen anticipates that it will incur such obligations in the future. In addition, in lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen enters into subsidy agreements with certain property owners’ associations. As of September 30, 2013, Bluegreen had liabilities for subsidies totaling $2.7 million, which are included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2013.

Bluegreen believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or future credit facilities, and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under existing or future purchase facilities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements, including the contractual payment of the obligations set forth above, for the foreseeable future, subject to the successful implementation of ongoing strategic initiatives and the ongoing availability of credit. Bluegreen will continue its efforts to renew, extend or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term.  Bluegreen may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue corporate debt securities. Any debt incurred or issued by Bluegreen may be secured or unsecured, bear interest at fixed or variable rates and may be subject to such terms as the lender may require. In addition, Bluegreen’s efforts to renew or replace the credit facilities or receivables purchase facilities which have expired or which are scheduled to expire in the near term may not be successful, and sufficient funds may not be available from operations or under existing or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables purchase facilities to meet its cash needs, including debt service obligations. To the extent Bluegreen is not able to sell notes receivable or borrow under such facilities, its ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.

Credit facilities, indentures, and other outstanding debt instruments, and receivables purchase facilities include what  Bluegreen believes to be customary conditions to funding, eligibility requirements for collateral, cross-default and other acceleration provisions and certain financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends, investments in joint ventures and other restricted payments, the incurrence of liens, and transactions with affiliates, as well as covenants concerning net worth, fixed charge coverage requirements, debt-to-equity ratios, portfolio performance requirements, cash balances and events of default or termination. In the future, Bluegreen may be required to seek waivers of such covenants, and Bluegreen may not be successful in obtaining waivers, and such covenants may limit Bluegreen’s ability to raise funds, sell receivables, or satisfy or refinance its obligations, or otherwise adversely affect Bluegreen’s financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, Bluegreen’s future operating performance and ability to meet its financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which may be beyond Bluegreen’s control.

Off-balance-sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, Bluegreen did not have any “off-balance sheet” arrangements.

BBX Capital

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 include the results of operations of BBX Capital.On July 31, 2012, BBX Capital completed the sale of BankAtlantic, BBX Capital’s former wholly-owned banking subsidiary, to BB&T. As a result of the completion of the sale, BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Tax Certificates and Capital Services reporting units are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. BBX Capital’s continuing operations are reported through two reportable segments: BBX and FAR. The only assets available to BFC from BBX Capital are dividends when and if paid by BBX Capital. BBX Capital is a separate public company, and its management prepared the following discussion, which was included in BBX Capital’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Accordingly, references to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” in the following discussion are references to BBX Capital and its subsidiaries, references to the “Parent Company” are references to BBX Capital, at its parent company level,  and none of the foregoing are references to BFC, Woodbridge or Bluegreen.

Introduction

BBX Capital was organized under the laws of the State of Florida in 1994. BBX Capital’s principal asset until July 31, 2012 was its investment in BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries.  BankAtlantic was a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and provided traditional retail banking services and a wide range of commercial banking products and related financial services through a broad network of community branches located in Florida. 

BBX Capital Business Strategy

The majority of BBX Capital’s assets do not generate income on a regular or predictable basis. Recognizing the nature of BBX Capital’s assets, our goal is to build long-term value.  We do not expect to generate significant revenue from the legacy BankAtlantic assets until the assets are monetized through repayments or transactions involving the sale, joint venture or development of the underlying real estate.  BBX Capital is currently utilizing the cash flow from the monetization of its assets to pay operating expenses and to invest in income producing real estate, real estate developments, real estate joint ventures and middle market operating businesses.  BBX Capital is seeking to balance its cash needs and the timing of monetizing its existing assets with new investments to maximize its returns. In some cases, this may involve immediate sale and in other cases a longer term hold or development (either directly or through a joint venture).  As previously indicated, the Company has invested $71.75 million to acquire a 46% interest in Woodbridge in connection with Woodbridge’s acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Bluegreen not owned by it.  In October 2013, the Company through a newly formed joint venture entity owned 81% by the Company and 19% by BFC acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Renin Corp. The Company is actively pursuing other operating businesses and anticipates funding investments and operations through the monetization of its assets, cash flows from its 5% preferred interest in FAR, returns from its investments, such as dividends from its investment in Woodbridge, borrowings and through joint venture partners or solicitation of funds from investors. 

The Company is engaged in land entitlement activities on certain properties that we acquired through foreclosure and anticipate moving forward with land development projects which may include selling or leasing the improved properties to third parties or pursuing joint ventures with developers for the development of residential and commercial real estate projects involving the contribution of these properties by us as well as potential cash investments in such projects.  We are also exploring potential investments in joint venture real estate projects that include real estate held by a joint venture partner or to be acquired from unrelated parties.  Furthermore, as a result of the substantial decline in real estate values in prior periods, the majority of our non-performing commercial real estate loans and real estate owned were written down to the then prevailing estimated fair values of the collateral less costs to sell.  We are observing improvements generally in real estate markets and believe that the underlying collateral securing certain of our commercial real estate loans and our real estate owned carrying values may be below current market values.   Additionally, this recovery in the real estate market has favorably affected the financial condition of our borrowers and we are aggressively pursuing our borrowers and/or guarantors in order to maximize our recoveries through cash settlements, loan workout arrangements or participation interests in the development or performance of the collateral.  If we are successful in our efforts, we may recognize gains to the extent that the amounts we collect exceed the carrying value of our commercial loans and real estate owned.  Due to the nature of these activities, we do not expect to generate revenues or earnings on a predictable or consistent basis.Accordingly we expect our results of operations to vary significantly on a quarterly basis and we may continue to experience losses in subsequent periods.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The Company reports its consolidated results of operations in two reportable segments, BBX and FAR.  The BBX reportable segment consists of the activities associated with CAM’s and BBX Partner’s portfolios of loans receivable, real estate properties, and a portfolio of BankAtlantic previously charged-off loans retained by CAM in the BB&T Transaction.  As of April 2013, the BBX segment also includes the Company’s investment in Woodbridge. BBX’s primary business activities relate to:  managing and, where appropriate, monetizing its portfolio of loans receivable; managing and, where appropriate, monetizing or developing its portfolio of real estate properties;  maximizing the cash flows from its portfolio of charged-off loans and judgments; and pursuing equity and debt investment opportunities in real estate and middle market operating businesses.

The FAR reportable segment consists of the activities associated with overseeing the management and monetization of the assets held by FAR with a view to repayment of BB&T’s preferred interest and maximizing the cash flows of any remaining assets.  FAR’s activities commenced on August 1, 2012.

The results of operations of BBX for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 include the operations of BBX Capital and its subsidiaries other than BankAtlantic and the operations of BankAtlantic’s Commercial Lending reporting unit and include all of BankAtlantic’s general corporate overhead for the seven months ended July 31, 2012. 

Income (loss) from continuing operations from each of the Company’s reportable segments was as follows (in thousands):

		For the Three Months Ended September 30,
		2013	2012	Change
BBX	$	2,740	(11,924)	14,664
FAR		4,975	1,020	3,955
Income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit for income taxes		7,715	(10,904)	18,619
Provision (benefit) for income taxes		20	(12,512)	12,532
Income from continuing operations	$	7,695	1,608	6,087

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Same 2012 Period:

Summary Results of Operations – BBX Reportable Segment

The improvement in the BBX segment’s performance during the 2013 third quarter compared to the same 2012 quarter was primarily the result of equity earnings from the investment in Woodbridge and lower compensation expense, interest expense, asset impairments, provision for loan losses and operating expenses partially offset by lower interest income. 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, equity earnings in Woodbridge were $8.2 million. The Company invested in Woodbridge in April 2013 and, accordingly, there were no equity earnings from Woodbridge during the 2012 period.  The lower compensation expense during 2013 primarily resulted from a $3.6 million executive management bonus accrual during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to an executive bonus accrual of $0.9 million during the same 2013 period.  The reversals of provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflect recoveries on commercial real estate loans of $0.3 million as well as $0.3 million of recoveries associated with the charged off portfolio compared to net charge-offs of $58,000 during the same 2012 period.  The lower asset impairments during the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflect reversals of valuation allowances on loans held for sale and real estate owned due to updated valuations.  Interest expense declined by $1.1 million during the 2013 quarter compared to the same 2012 period resulting primarily from the assumption by BB&T of all of BBX’s trust preferred securities obligations upon the consummation of the BB&T Transaction as of July 31, 2012.  The lower operating expenses reflect the elimination of BankAtlantic’s general corporate overhead as of August 1, 2012, which was included in its entirety during the one month ended July 31, 2012.  BBX’s cost structure changed significantly as a result of the sale of BankAtlantic as BBX relocated its corporate headquarters and reduced the number of employees to 31.  These reductions in expenses were partially

90

offset by a $2.2 million decrease in interest income resulting primarily from the transfer of $297 million of BankAtlantic’s commercial loans to BB&T and the transfer of $223.8 million of BankAtlantic’s commercial loans to FAR in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic in the BB&T Transaction.

Summary Results of Operations – FAR Reportable Segment

The FAR segment’s income from continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2013 resulted primarily from recoveries associated with commercial loan repayments and sales of charged off tax certificates.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 FAR received payments on three non-accrual loans resulting in $3.3 million of reversals of provision for loan losses and $0.6 million of interest income.  FAR recognized $0.9 million of other income in connection with a settlement agreement entered into with a borrower and a third party.  FAR also sold tax certificates during the third quarter of 2013 for a $0.9 million gain.  FAR expenses during the third quarter of 2013 consisted primarily of asset servicing fees, foreclosure expenses and costs to operate two public storage facilities. 

The FAR segment’s income from continuing operations during the two months ended September 30, 2012 resulted primarily from interest income and reversals of provision for loan losses partially offset by BB&T’s priority return, foreclosure expenses and servicing expenses.  Reversals of provision for loan losses related primarily to commercial loan short sales at amounts higher than the loans’ carrying values and cash settlements with borrowers in connection with obtaining deeds in lieu of foreclosure on commercial loans.

Summary Results of Operations – BBX Reportable Segment

The improvement in the BBX segment’s loss from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same 2012 period was primarily the result of the items discussed above for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as well as lower professional fees reflecting legal costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in connection with the litigation in Delaware brought by holders of interests in the Company’s trust preferred securities and certain trustees challenging the BB&T Transaction. Such costs included reimbursements to the trustees for their legal fees and related expenses in the litigation.

Interest Income. The reduction in interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same 2012 period resulted primarily from the transfer of $297 million of BankAtlantic’s commercial loans to BB&T and the transfer of $223.8 million of BankAtlantic’s commercial loans to FAR in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic in the BB&T Transaction as of July 31, 2012.  The interest income during the 2013 three and nine month period consisted primarily of the recognition on a cash basis of income on non-accrual loans.  

Net gains on the sales of assets. The net gains on the sales of assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were primarily gains/losses on the sales of real estate owned properties.  Included in net gains on sales of assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was a $0.6 million gain on the sale of a commercial real estate loan held for sale.

Employee compensation and other expenses.The decrease in employee compensation during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same 2012 period resulted primarily from a decline in executive bonus accruals from $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.9 million during the same 2013 period.  The decrease in employee compensation and other expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to the elimination of BankAtlantic’s general corporate overhead, which was included in its entirety during the seven months ended July 31, 2012, and the reduction in BBX’s cost structure as a result of the sale of BankAtlantic.  The reduction in compensation expense was partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation costs.  Compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $0.6 million and $1.7 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.7 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Occupancy and equipment expense included in other expenses declined from $0.6 million and $4.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the same 2013 periods, respectively, due primarily to the relocation of BBX’s corporate headquarters. 

92

Professional fees.  The increase in professional fees during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same 2012 period resulted primarily from legal fees associated with the SEC civil action and increased foreclosure costs. 

The $5.9 million decline in professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same 2012 period resulted primarily from legal costs during the 2012 period associated with the trust preferred securities litigation in Delaware which was resolved during the 2012 period.

Interest expense.Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates to interest expense recognized on two notes payable aggregating $10.4 million issued as of December 31, 2012.  The notes were issued to two third party participants in loans for which CAM was the lead lender in connection with our acquisition of the participants’ interest in a loan and certain real estate owned property. The interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 relates to interest expense recognized on the trust preferred securities that were assumed by BB&T upon consummation of the BB&T Transaction.

Asset impairments (reversals).  Asset impairment reversals during the three months ended September 30, 2013 reflect real estate owned allowance reversals resulting from updated valuations.   Asset impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from net impairment of $0.4 million on real estate owned and allowance reversals of $0.2 million on loans held for sale, all resulting from updated valuations.  Asset impairments during the three months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of $0.9 million of real estate owned impairments and $0.2 million of loans held for sale valuation allowances. Asset impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of $4.4 million of real estate owned write-downs and $0.6 million of loans held for sale valuation allowances partially offset by $1.2 million of recoveries associated with assets transferred to BB&T in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, BBX recognized in continuing operations a tax benefit associated with income from discontinued operations resulting from the gain on the sale of BankAtlantic.  The allocation of the tax benefit from discontinued operations to continuing operations was limited to the pre-tax loss from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The change in non-accrual loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted primarily from charge-offs, loan sales and the transfer of loans to real estate owned.  The change in real estate owned reflects the transfer of $2.6 million of loans to real estate owned, $14.8 million of property sales and $0.6 million of net real estate owned write-downs in connection with updated valuations.

The commercial real estate charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to three commercial real estate loans. Two of the loans were charged down $0.5 million in the aggregate due to updated valuations and the other loan was charged down by $0.4 million in connection with a short sale.

Commercial real estate loan charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to charge-offs of previously established specific valuation allowances, $46.7 million of which were associated with the transition of BankAtlantic from OTS regulation to OCC regulation and $16.3 million of which related to the transfer of

94

commercial residential loans to held for sale.  Commercial non-real estate loan charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $12.5 million of charge-offs of previously established specific valuation allowances associated with the transition to OCC regulation. The remaining $2.1 million of charge-offs during 2012 related to one asset backed loan. 

The recoveries of loans previously charged-off during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted primarily from cash collected on certain previously charged-off loans and related judgments which were transferred from BankAtlantic to CAM in connection with the BB&T Transaction and recoveries from loans transferring to real estate owned as the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell was greater than the recorded investment on certain loans. 

Reversals of provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect declining commercial real estate loan balances due to loans transferring to real estate owned and loan payoffs as well as an improved historical loss experience.  Reversals of provision for loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflect improved historical loss experience during 2012 and a decline in loans migrating to non-accrual status. 

The allowance for loan losses of $11.1 million associated with commercial loans transferred to BB&T upon the sale of BankAtlantic was transferred to assets held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Asset impairments for the three months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of $0.5 million of lower of cost or market valuation allowance adjustments on loans held for sale and a $0.2 million provision for tax certificates partially offset by  $0.2 million of real estate owned impairment reversals.

During the third quarter of 2013, commercial loan principal paydowns consisted primarily of the repayment of two loans with an aggregate recorded investment of $28.6 million.  During the third quarter of 2013, three commercial real estate loans, one consumer loan and ten residential loans were transferred to real estate owned with a fair value less cost to sell of $15.3 million, $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  The residential and commercial loan net reversals resulted primarily from short sale recoveries and the transfer of loans to real estate owned where the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell was higher than the recorded investment of the loans.  The consumer loan net charge-offs resulted primarily from updated collateral valuations and secondarily from initial valuations of loans first becoming past due 120 days during the quarter. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, commercial loan principal pay-downs consisted primarily of the repayment of six loans with an aggregate recorded investment of $54.8 million.  During the first nine months of 2013, nine commercial real estate loans and twenty-two residential loans were transferred to real estate owned with a fair value less cost to sell of $23.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 FAR foreclosed on two storage facilities with a fair value of $12.8 million.  One of these properties is a traditional climate controlled storage rental facility.  The other property is a robotic high security climate controlled rental facility designed to store fine art, antiques, collectables, exotic cars and important documents.  FAR decided to retain, and with BBX Capital’s assistance, manage these two facilities. The commercial loan net reversals included recoveries and charge-off reversals on loans transferred to real estate owned partially offset by a $2.0 million charge-off of a loan secured by a hotel based on an updated valuation.

At the indicated dates, FAR’s non-accrual and repossessed assets were as follows (in thousands):

Total	$	135,540	175,036

(1) Excludes $0.3 million of tax certificates held for sale as of September 30, 2013.

The decline in non-accrual tax certificates resulted primarily from $3.4 million of charge-offs and secondarily from tax certificate redemptions and sales.  The tax certificate charge-offs had been reserved for in their entirety as of December 31, 2012.  

The decrease in non-accrual loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted from charge-offs, loan repayments, and the transfer of loans to real estate owned.  The decrease in non-accrual commercial loans largely reflects the repayment of an $11.3 million commercial real estate loan and the transfer of $34.9 million of commercial real estate loans to real estate owned and properties and equipment.  The decline in non-accrual residential loans reflects the liquidation of residential loans through short sales and the transfer of loans to real estate owned. The reduction in non-accrual consumer loans was due primarily to charge-offs and secondarily to loan repayments.

The higher balance of repossessed assets at September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 resulted primarily from commercial real estate loan foreclosures partially offset by $6.4 million of sales of real estate owned.  The real estate owned sold was mainly residential properties.

FAR’s troubled debt restructured loans by loan type were as follows (in thousands):

		As of September 30, 2013 (1)		As of December 31, 2012 (2)
		Non-accrual	Accruing	Non-accrual	Accruing

The activity in the allowance for loan losses during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was as follows (in thousands):

Provision for loan losses		(3,895)	295	(1,515)	295
Balance, end of period	$	3,838	6,093	3,838	6,093

Commercial real estate charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 related primarily to updated valuations on collateral dependent loans.  Consumer and residential loan charge-offs mainly reflect updated valuations on non-accrual loans and initial charge downs on loans past due greater than 120 days.  The recoveries of loans previously charged-off resulted primarily from loan short sales where the principal repayments received in connection with the sale of the property were greater than the recorded investment of the loans and from loans transferred to real estate owned where the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell was greater than the recorded investment of the loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the $3.9 million reversals of the provision for loan losses was partially offset by an increase in the consumer allowance for loan losses.

Commercial non-real estate charge-offs during the three months ended September 30, 2012 were associated with the charge-off of an asset-based loan as the liquidation of the borrower’s inventory resulted in net proceeds below the carrying value of the loan. 

Subsequent to the sale of BankAtlantic, management evaluated its retained loan portfolio in relation to its business strategy and operating costs and transferred its entire portfolio of small business loans to loans held for sale as of September 30, 2012.  Upon transfer, the small business loans were charged down by $1.3 million which represented the lower of the fair value of the loan and its carrying value. 

Consumer and residential loan charge-offs during the two months ended September 30, 2012 primarily reflect updated property valuations on residential loans more than 120 days past due. 

The recoveries for loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily related to commercial loan short sales at amounts higher than the loans’ carrying values and cash settlements with borrowers in connection with obtaining deeds in lieu of foreclosure on commercial loans.

BBX Capital’s Consolidated Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets as of September 30, 2013 were $409.1 million compared to $470.7 million as of December 31, 2012.  The decline in total assets reflects the utilization of cash proceeds from loan repayments and real estate owned sales to repay BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR partially offset by delivery of a promissory note as partial consideration for the Company’s investment in Woodbridge.

The changes in the components of total assets from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

· Decrease in cash primarily in connection with the investment in Woodbridge and payments of BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR partially offset by proceeds from loan repayments and proceeds from the sale of real estate owned and $16.6 million of dividends received from Woodbridge,

· Decline in loans held for sale resulting primarily from the transfer of commercial loans to real estate owned, sale of a $0.5 million loan, transfer of $1.3 million of commercial loans to held for investment and $1.3 million of impairments on loans held for sale,

· Lower loans receivable balances reflecting $83 million of loan repayments, $30.7 million of loans transferring to real estate owned and $12.8 million of loan transfers to property and equipment as a result of FAR’s decision to retain and manage the collateral upon foreclosure, 

· Investment of $85.5 million in Woodbridge and $11.6 million of equity earnings in Woodbridge, partially offset by $16.6 million of dividends received from Woodbridge,

· Increase in real estate owned reflecting the transfer of $30.8 million of loans and tax certificates to real estate owned partially offset by the sale of $21.6 million of real estate owned properties and $3.3 million of real estate owned write-downs, and

· Higher other asset balances resulting primarily from an investment of $1.3 million relating to a 13% interest in a real estate development joint venture and a $3.0 million refundable deposit associated with the Renin Corp acquisition.

The Company's total liabilities at September 30, 2013 were $157.1 million compared to $230.4 million at December 31, 2012.  The changes in the components of total liabilities from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

· Decrease in BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR reflecting payments of proceeds from the monetization of FAR assets, 

· Increase in note payable to Woodbridge associated with the Company’s investment in Woodbridge and the issuance of an $11.75 million note,

· Increase in notes payable from premium amortization, and

· Increase in other liabilities primarily due to higher accrued legal and loan servicing expenses. 

BBX Capital’s Liquidity and Capital Resources 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity were its cash holdings, funds obtained from scheduled payments on and sales of its loans, loan payoffs, sales of real estate owned, income from income producing real estate and distributions received from Woodbridge.  While FAR is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, the cash held in FAR and generated from its assets will be used primarily to pay FAR’s operating expenses and to pay BB&T’s 95% preferred membership interest and the related priority return and will generally not be available for distribution to BBX Capital until such time as BB&T’s preferred membership interest is fully repaid.  The balance of BB&T’s preferred membership interest in FAR was approximately $110.6 million at September 30, 2013. 

The Company’s cash at banks was $18.4 million at September 30, 2013, which does not include $6.9 million of cash in FAR.  The Company had $9.1 million of current liabilities as of September 30, 2013.   The Company expects that it will receive dividends from time to time from its 46% ownership interest in Woodbridge.  However, dividends from Woodbridge will be dependent on and subject to the results of operations, cash flows and business plans of Bluegreen, Woodbridge’s wholly owned subsidiary, as well as restrictions contained in Bluegreen’s debt facilities, and as a consequence the Company may not receive dividends from Woodbridge in the time frames or amounts anticipated, or at all. The Company also expects to obtain funds in subsequent periods from cash flows on loans, real

101

estate and other assets in CAM and BBX Partners, each of which is wholly-owned by BBX Capital, and distributions from its 5% preferred interest in the net cash flows from FAR.  The Company also may seek to obtain funds through borrowings or the issuance of equity securities. The Company anticipates utilizing these funds for general corporate purposes, including employee compensation and benefits, administrative and occupancy expenses, servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses and, to the extent of available liquidity, to pursue its business strategy of pursuing investments, directly or through joint ventures, in real estate (which may include acquisition and/or development) and middle market operating businesses as well as specialty finance activities over time as assets are monetized. 

A significant source of liquidity is the liquidation of loans and real estate owned.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the proceeds from the liquidation of loans and real estate owned was approximately $84.6 million and $25.2 million, respectively.   

The Company’s real estate owned activities includes hiring property managers to operate income producing properties, making protective expenditures in an effort to maintain the value of properties and undertaking the development or improvement of properties to position the properties for sale, potential joint venture arrangements or land development activities.

The Company’s Contractual Obligations and Off Balance Arrangements as of September 30, 2013 were (in thousands):

		Payments Due by Period
			Less than			After 5
Contractual Obligations		Total	1 year	1-3 years	4-5 years	years

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s results, particularly with respect to the Bluegreen Resorts, FAR and BBX reporting segments, are 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. The nature and timing of any changes in such policies or general economic conditions and their effect on the Company and its subsidiaries are unpredictable.  Changes in interest rates can impact the net interest income recognized by BBX Capital and Bluegreen as well as the valuation of their respective assets and liabilities (as well as Woodbridge’s indebtedness at its parent company level).  The Company’s interest rate risk position did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

Interest capitalized to VOI inventory during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 was insignificant. The interest expense reflected in the consolidated financial statements is net of capitalized interest.

Presentation Of Interim Financial Statements [Abstract]

Presentation Of Interim Financial Statements

1.    Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“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  consolidated financial condition of BFC at September 30, 2013; the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income of BFC for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; the consolidated cash flows of BFC for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012; and changes in consolidated equity of BFC for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and 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, 2012.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As used throughout this document, the term “fair value” reflects the Company’s estimate of fair value as discussed herein. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

BFC is a Florida-based holding company whose principal holdings include an approximately 52% equity interestin BBX Capital Corporation (formerly BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (“BBX Capital”) anda 54% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), which owns 100% of Bluegreen Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bluegreen”).  Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and management company primarily focused on the hospitality and vacation ownership industries. BBX Capital is a Florida-based company involved in the ownership, financing, acquisition, development and management of real estate, and real estate joint ventures and investments in middle market operating businesses.  BBX Capital holds the remaining 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.  BFC also holds interests in other investments and subsidiaries as described herein and previously held a significant investment in Benihana Inc. (“Benihana”) until the acquisition of Benihana by Safflower Holdings Corp. (“Safflower”) during August 2012. The Company reports the results of its continuing operations through four segments: Real Estate Operations; Bluegreen Resorts; BBX; and Florida Asset Resolution Group (“FAR”).

GAAP requires that BFC consolidate the financial results of the entities in which it has controlling interests, including BBX Capital, Woodbridge and Bluegreen. 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 BBX Capital, Woodbridge, and Bluegreen, 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 (and, in the case of Bluegreen, a subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge). The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the total percent of economic ownership in those entities. At September 30, 2013, BFC had an approximately 52% economic ownership interest in BBX Capital (excluding, for purposes of calculating the total amount of BBX Capital’s outstanding stock, restricted shares issued by BBX Capital to its officers which were unvested as of September 30, 2013).

As discussed below, BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Tax Certificates, and Capital Services components are recorded as discontinued operations as a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic, BBX Capital’s former banking subsidiary, to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”) during July 2012.  Discontinued operations of BFC also include the results of Bluegreen Communities, substantially all of the assets of which were sold by Bluegreen during May 2012, and Cypress Creek Holdings, LLC (“Cypress Creek Holdings”). See Note 3 forfurther discussion of discontinued operations.

BFC and BBX Capital- Acquisition of Renin Corporation

On October 30, 2013, Renin Holdings LLC, a newly formed joint venture entity beneficially owned 81% by BBX Capital and 19% by BFC, through newly formed acquisition subsidiaries (Renin Holdings LLC and its acquisition subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers”) acquired substantially all of the assets of Renin Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Sellers”), manufacturers of interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products, for approximately $14.6 million (the “Renin Acquisition”).  The $14.6 million transaction consideration is subject to certain potential post-closing adjustments based on the Sellers’ working capital as of the closing and certain contractually provided Seller indemnities.  At the closing, approximately $1.7 million of the transaction consideration was placed in escrow pending final determination of the working capital adjustment, if any, and final resolution of any indemnification obligations of the Sellers.  Bluegreen Specialty Finance, LLC, a subsidiary of Bluegreen, funded approximately $9.4 million of the transaction consideration in a term loan and revolver facility (the “Renin Loan”).  The Renin Loan includes a$3.0 million term loan and provides for additional borrowings of up to $9 million on a revolving basis ($6.4 million of which was drawn upon at the closing), subject to the terms of a borrowing basis specified in the Renin Loan.  Amounts outstanding under the  Renin Loan bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Purchasers.  All amounts outstanding under the Renin Loan will, unless extended, become due on April 30, 2014.The balance of the transaction consideration of $5.2 million was funded approximately $4.2 million by BBX Capital and approximately $1.0 million by BFC in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin Holdings LLC.  The transaction consideration was used to satisfy certain of the Sellers’ outstanding debt and other liabilities, obligations and expenses.

The acquired assets include, among other things, inventory, trade accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment, and intellectual property and other intangible assets with an estimated carrying value, subject to adjustment, of $23 million.  In addition to acquiring the assets, approximately $9.0 million of certain trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the Sellers, which represent ordinary course business obligations incurred by the Sellers prior to the closing and certain accrued employee benefits, were assumed in the Renin Acquisition.  Additionally, the Purchasers offered employment to the Sellers’ current employees on substantially the same terms as in effect prior to the closing.

BBX Capital-Catalfumo Settlement Agreement

In June 2013, BBX Capital Asset Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BBX Capital (“CAM”), entered into a settlement agreement with respect to litigation between CAM and Daniel S. Catalfumo and certain members of his family and affiliated entities (collectively, “Catalfumo”) relating to the Company’s lending relationship with Catalfumo. The agreement was amended on October 21, 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the amended settlement agreement, Catalfumo has agreed to pay CAM $30 million in cash, of which $22 million was paid to BBX Capital on November 4, 2013.The receipt by BBX Capital of the $22 million cash payment will result in a gain of approximately $22 million in the 2013 fourth quarter.  The remaining $8 million payment plus accrued interest is anticipated to be repaid during the fourth quarter of 2013 and is due no later than April 10, 2014.  Interest on such $8 million payment will accrue at a rate of 24.95% per annum commencing on December 3, 2013. Catalfumo also agreed to transfer to CAM certain properties with an aggregate carrying value of $10.3 million as of September 30, 2013.  There is no assurance that Catalfumo will make the remaining agreed upon payment and transfer in accordance with the terms of the amended settlement agreement.  If Catalfumo does not comply with the terms of the settlement agreement, CAM will proceed with its litigation against Catalfumo.

Restricted Stock Grants

On October 7, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company’ Board of Directors approved restricted stock awards for certain of the Company’s executive officers (the “2013 RSAs”).  The 2013 RSAs were or are expected to be granted under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and relate to a total of 892,224 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.  410,000 of the 2013 RSAs  weregranted on October 7, 2013.  The remainder of the 2013 RSAs (the “Balance RSAs”), are subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for grant thereunder in an amount at least equal to the number of shares subject to the Balance RSAs.  The Company currently expects to seek shareholder approval of such amendment to the Plan at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. 

BBX Capital Merger Agreement

On May 7, 2013, BFC, BBX Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of BFC (“BBX Merger Sub”), and BBX Capital entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement BBX Capital will merge with and into BBX Merger Sub, with BBX Merger Sub continuing as the surviving companyand a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, BBX Capital’s shareholders (other than BFC and shareholders of BBX Capital who exercise and perfect their appraisal rights in accordance with Florida law) will be entitled to receive 5.39 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that they hold at the effective time of the merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).  Each option to acquire shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that is outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable, will be converted into an option to acquire shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the option will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price of the option will be divided by the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock subject to a restricted stock award outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into a restricted share of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares subject to the award will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  Consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective shareholders, BFC’s Class A Common Stock being approved for listing on a national securities exchange (or interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association) at the effective time of the merger, holders of not more than 10% of BBX Capital’s Common Stock exercising appraisal rights, and the absence of any “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to either BFC or BBX Capital.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors of either BFC or BBX Capital may, in its discretion, choose to waive any of the conditions to consummation of the merger and proceed to closing. BFC has agreed in the merger agreement to vote all of the shares of BBX Capital’s Common Stock that it owns in favor of the merger agreement, which would constitute the requisite approval of the merger agreement by BBX Capital’s shareholders under Florida law. There is no assurance that the merger will be consummated on the currently contemplated terms or at all.

A consolidated purported class action lawsuit is pending in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida which seeks to enjoin the merger or, if it is completed, to recover relief as determined by the presiding court. BFC and BBX Capital believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.  See Note 10 for additional information regarding this litigation.

The Bluegreen Merger

On April 2, 2013, Bluegreen merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge in a cash merger transaction (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Bluegreen merger” or the “Bluegreen cash merger”).  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge) received consideration of $10.00 in cash for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the merger, including unvested restricted shares. In addition, each option to acquire shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether vested or unvested, was canceled in exchange for a cash payment to the holder in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the $10.00 per share merger consideration over the exercise price per share of the option. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $149.2 million.  As a result of the merger, Bluegreen, which was the surviving corporation of the merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.  Prior to the merger, Woodbridge owned approximately 54% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock.

In connection with the financing of the merger, BFC and Woodbridge entered into a Purchase Agreement with BBX Capital on April 2, 2013 (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge contemporaneously with the closing of the merger in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. BFC continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests. BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge consisted of $60 million in cash, which was utilized to pay a portion of the aggregate merger consideration, and a promissory note in Woodbridge’s favor in the principal amount of $11.75 million.  The note has a term of five years, accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provides for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the note, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term. During the second and third quarters of 2013, BBX Capital paid to Woodbridge a total of approximately $294,000 of interest on the note.  In connection with BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, BFC and BBX Capital entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides for, among other things, unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions by Woodbridge to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective percentage equity interests in Woodbridge. During the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid a total of $38 million in cash dividends to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Woodbridge declared and paid cash dividends totaling $36.1 million, which were allocated pro rata to BFC and BBX Capital based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge ($19.5 million to BFC and $16.6 million to BBX Capital).

On March 26, 2013, Bluegreen issued $75 million of senior secured notes (the “2013 Notes Payable”) in a private transaction, the proceeds of which, together with approximately $14 million of Bluegreen’s unrestricted cash, were utilized in connection with the funding of the $149.2 million merger consideration indicated above. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the 2013 Notes Payable.

Two consolidated class action lawsuits relating to the merger remain pending.  The plaintiffs in these actions have asserted that the consideration received by Bluegreen’s minority shareholders in the merger was inadequate and unfair, and are seeking to recover damages in connection with the merger. The Company believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.  See Note 10 for additional information regarding these actions.

Sale of BankAtlantic

On July 31, 2012, BBX Capital completed the sale to BB&T of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BankAtlantic, the former wholly-owned banking subsidiary of BBX Capital (the stock sale and related transactions are referred to in this report as the “BankAtlantic Sale” or the “BB&T Transaction”). The BankAtlantic Sale was consummated pursuant to the terms of a definitive agreement, dated November 1, 2011, between BBX Capital and BB&T, as amended on March 13, 2012 (the “BB&T Agreement”). The March 13, 2012 amendment amended the previously contemplated terms of the transaction to, among other things, provide for the assumption by BB&T of BBX Capital’s $285.4 million in principal amount of then-outstanding trust preferred securities (“TruPS”) obligations. 

Pursuant to the BB&T Agreement, prior to the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BankAtlantic formed two subsidiaries, CAM and FAR. BankAtlantic contributed to FAR certain performing and non-performing loans, tax certificates, and real estate owned that had an aggregate carrying value on BankAtlantic’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of approximately $346 million as of July 31, 2012 (the date the BB&T Transaction was consummated). FAR assumed all liabilities related to these assets. BankAtlantic also contributed approximately $50 million in cash to FAR on July 31, 2012 and thereafter distributed all of the membership interests in FAR to BBX Capital.  At the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BBX Capital transferred to BB&T 95% of the outstanding preferred membership interests in FAR in connection with BB&T’s assumption of BBX Capital’s then-outstanding approximately $285 million of TruPS obligations.  BBX Capital continues to hold the remaining 5% of FAR’s preferred membership interests.  BB&T will hold its 95% preferred interest in the net cash flows of FAR until such time as it has recovered $285 million in preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum on any unpaid preference amount. At that time, BB&T’s interest in FAR will terminate, and BBX Capital will thereafter own 100% ofFAR through its ownership of FAR’s Class R units.  BBX Capital entered into an incremental $35 million guarantee in BB&T’s favor to further assure BB&T’s recovery of the $285 million preferred interest within seven years.  At September 30, 2013, BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR was approximately $110.6 million. In November 2013, FAR entered into a settlement agreement with a borrower providing for the payment of $23.3million by a borrower in satisfaction of the borrower’s loan obligations.  The recorded investment on these loan obligations was $12.4million as of September 30, 2013. The agreement requires the borrower to pay the funds to FAR during the fourth quarter of 2013.  However, there is no assurance that the borrower will make the agreed upon payment at the time or in the amount required by the settlement agreement, if at all.  Any receipt of funds by FAR would be utilized to pay FAR’s operating expenses and pay down the preferred membership interests in FAR in accordance with the terms of FAR’s operating agreement.

Prior to the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BankAtlantic contributed to CAM certain commercial loans, commercial real estate owned and previously written off assets that had an aggregate carrying value on BankAtlantic’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of $125 million as of July 31, 2012. CAM assumed all liabilities related to these assets.  BankAtlantic also contributed $82 million of cash to CAM on July 31, 2012.  Prior to the closing of the BankAtlantic Sale, BankAtlantic distributed all of the membership interests in CAM to BBX Capital.  CAM remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital.

BankAtlantic’s historical Community Banking, Investment, Capital Services and Tax Certificate reporting units are reflected as “Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 3 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.  BBX Capital has continued to service and manage commercial loans following the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T and may originate commercial loans in the future. As a result, the historical operations for BankAtlantic’s commercial lending reporting unit are included in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations as continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows remain unchanged from the historical presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Sale of Bluegreen Communities

On May 4, 2012, Bluegreen sold substantially all of the assets that comprised its former residential communities business, Bluegreen Communities, to Southstar Development Partners, Inc. (“Southstar”) for a purchase price of $29.0 million in cash.  Southstar also agreed to pay an amount equal to 20% of the net proceeds (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement) of its sale, if any, of two specified parcels of real estate purchased by Southstar under the agreement.  Southstar sold one of the parcels during 2012 and paid to Bluegreen the proceeds to which it was entitled, which were insignificant.  Assets excluded from the sale included primarily Bluegreen’s Communities notes receivable portfolio.  Bluegreen Communities is classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  See Note 3for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Acquisition of Benihana by Safflower

BFC held a significant investment in Benihana until Safflower acquired Benihana for a cash purchase price of $16.30 per outstanding share of Benihana’s common stockin August 2012.  BFC received approximately $24.5 million in exchange for the 1,505,330 shares of Benihana’s common stock that it held at the effective time of the transaction.

Prior to Safflower’s acquisition of Benihana, BFC sold approximately 77,000 shares of Benihana’s common stock during July and August 2012 pursuant to the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan and received net proceeds from such sales of approximately $1.25 million.

BFC recognized a gain on sale of approximately $9.3 million in connection with its sales of shares of Benihana’s common stock during July and August 2012 and the disposition of its remaining shares of Benihana’s common stock pursuant to the merger between Benihana and Safflower during August 2012. In addition, during each of the first three quarters of 2012, BFC received approximately $127,000 of dividend payments with respect to the shares of Benihana’s common stock which BFC owned at that time.

(1) In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, during the second quarter of 2012, BFC reclassified its 5% cumulative preferred stock as a liability due to an amendment to the rights and privileges of such stock which, among other things, requires BFC to redeem shares of the 5% cumulative preferred stock in future periods.  As a result of such reclassification, the difference between the fair value of the 5% cumulative preferred stock and its carrying amount was required to be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, which was deducted from net earnings available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share.  In connection with the reclassification of BFC's 5% cumulative preferred stock, 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 5% cumulative preferred stock.

Bluegreen

Bluegreen has outstanding borrowings with various financial institutions and other lenders, which have been used to finance the acquisition and development of Bluegreen’s inventory and to fund Bluegreen’s operations. New debt issuances and significant changes related to Bluegreen’s lines-of-credit and notes payable facilities (other than receivable-backed notes payable) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 include:

2013 Notes Payable.  On March 26, 2013, Bluegreen issued $75.0 million of senior secured notes (the “2013 Notes Payable”) in a private financing transaction. The 2013 Notes Payable are secured by certain of Bluegreen’s assets, including primarily the cash flows from the residual interests relating to Bluegreen’s term securitizations and Bluegreen’s VOI inventory in the BG Club 36 resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Notes Payable, Bluegreen is required to periodically pledge reacquired VOI inventory in the BG Club 36 resort.  Bluegreen may also pledge additional residual interests from its future term securitizations, if any.  The 2013 Notes Payable initially accrued interest at a fixed rate of 8.8%.  During April 2013, the interest rate on the 2013 Notes Payable prospectively decreased to a fixed rate of 8.05% based on a final rating obtained from a rating agency.  The 2013 Notes Payable mature in March 2020, with certain required amortization during the seven-year term.  The terms of the 2013 Notes Payable include certain covenants and events of default, which Bluegreen considers to be customary for transactions of this type.  The proceeds from the 2013 Notes Payable were used to fund a portion of the merger consideration paid to former shareholders of Bluegreen in connection with the consummation of the Bluegreen merger during April 2013. 

CapitalSource Term Loan. In November 2012, Bluegreen entered into a $5.0 million non-revolving term loan with CapitalSource Bank secured by unsold inventory and undeveloped land at the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort (the “CapitalSource Term Loan”). In July 2013, the CapitalSource Term Loan was amended to increase its then outstanding balance from $2.9 million to $4.5 million, extend the maturity date from November 2015 to July 2016, and reduce the interest rate from 30-day LIBOR plus 6.75% to 30-day LIBOR plus 5.75%.  The CapitalSource Term Loan is cross-collateralized with the CapitalSource Facility, which is described below.

BBX Capital

As described in further detail in Note 1, during April 2013, BBX Capital issued an $11.75 million promissory note in favor of Woodbridge. Because this promissory note is a transaction between two of BFC’s consolidated entities, it has been eliminated in consolidation and is therefore not reflected in the above table.  Other than with respect to such promissory note, BBX Capital had no new debt issuances and there were no significant changes related to BBX Capital’s notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Woodbridge Junior Subordinated Debentures

There were no significant changes related to Woodbridge’s $85.0  million of junior subordinated debentures at September 30, 2013.

New debt issuances and significant changes related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable facilities during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 include:  

2013 Term Securitization. On September 26, 2013, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale of approximately $110.6 million of investment-grade, timeshare loan-backed notes, (the "2013-A Term Securitization"). The 2013-A Term Securitization consisted of the issuance of two tranches of timeshare loan-backed notes : approximately $89.1 million of Class A and $21.5 million of Class B notes with note interest rates of 3.01% and 4.00%, respectively, which blended to an overall weighted average note interest rate of approximately 3.20%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 93.75%. The Notes mature on December 4, 2028.  

The amount of the timeshare receivables sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2013-A (the “Trust”) was approximately $118.0 million, approximately $95.4 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $22.6 million is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to December 26, 2013. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $110.6 million. A portion of the proceeds received to date was used to: repay approximately $39.3 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under Bluegreen's existing purchase facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (the "BB&T Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $9.7 million, (including accrued interest and a prepayment fee) under Bluegreen's existing facility with Liberty Bank (the “Liberty Bank Facility”); capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. Prior to the closing of the 2013-A Term Securitization, Bluegreen, as servicer, funded approximately $15.4 million in connection with the servicer redemption of the notes related to the trust established for Bluegreen’s 2005 Term Securitization, and certain of the timeshare loans in such trusts were sold to the Trust in connection with the 2013-A Term Securitization. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2013-A Term Securitization (net of the servicer redemption) of approximately $43.0 million, of which approximately $21.2 million are expected to be received as the aforementioned approximately $22.6 million of timeshare receivables are sold to the Trust, are expected to be used by Bluegreen for general corporate purposes.

While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in the 2013-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes.

Quorum Purchase Facility.Since December 2010, Bluegreen has maintained a timeshare notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”). In March 2013, the Quorum Purchase Facility was amended and expanded.  Pursuant to the terms of the March 2013 amendment and subject to certain conditions precedent, Quorum agreed to purchase on a revolving basis through March 31, 2014 eligible timeshare receivables from Bluegreen or certain of its subsidiaries in an amount of up to an aggregate $30.0 million purchase price. The amended terms of the Quorum Purchase Facility reflect an 85% advance rate, and provide for a program fee rate of 5.5% per annum, with respect to any future advances. Advances are also subject to a loan purchase fee of 0.5%. The Quorum Purchase Facility becomes due in December 2030. While ownership of the timeshare receivables included in Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these timeshare receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing.

CapitalSource Facility. Since September 2011, Bluegreen has maintained a revolving timeshare receivables hypothecation facility (the “CapitalSource Facility”) with CapitalSource Bank which provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period.  In July 2013, the CapitalSource Facility was amended to increase the aggregate borrowing base, extend the revolving period and the maturity date, increase the advance rate for certain eligible receivables, and reduce the interest rate. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the aggregate maximum outstanding borrowings were increased from $35.0 million to $40.0 million less the amounts outstanding under the CapitalSource Term Loan (as described above), and the revolving credit period was extended through September 2016, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of CapitalSource Bank. Eligible “A” receivables that meet certain eligibility and FICO® score requirements, which Bluegreen’s management believes are typically consistent with loans originated under Bluegreen’s current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The CapitalSource Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” receivables (which have less stringent FICO® score requirements) to be funded at a 45% advance rate. The interest rate on all existing and future borrowings under the CapitalSource Facility was reduced to the 30-day LIBOR plus 4.50% (from 30-day LIBOR plus 5.75%). Principal repayments and interest are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving credit period, with the remaining outstanding balance maturing in September 2019, subject to an additional 12 month extension at the option of CapitalSource Bank. Prior to the amendment, the CapitalSource Facility was scheduled to mature in September 2016.  The CapitalSource Facility is cross-collateralized with the CapitalSource Term Loan.

[2] Included in cash and interest bearing deposits in banks on the consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2012 was $0.5 million of time deposits. These time deposits had original maturities of greater than 90 days and are not considered cash equivalents. There were no such time deposits recorded on the consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2013.

[3] In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, during the second quarter of 2012, BFC reclassified its 5% cumulative preferred stock as a liability due to an amendment to the rights and privileges of such stock which, among other things, requires BFC to redeem shares of the 5% cumulative preferred stock in future periods. As a result of such reclassification, the difference between the fair value of the 5% cumulative preferred stock and its carrying amount was required to be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, which was deducted from net earnings available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share. In connection with the reclassification of BFC's 5% cumulative preferred stock, 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 5% cumulative preferred stock.

Liquidity [Abstract]

Liquidity

2.    Liquidity

BFC

Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BBX Capital, Woodbridge and Bluegreen 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 (and, in the case of Bluegreen, a subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge). BFC’s principal sources of liquidity are its available cash and short-term investments anddividends from its subsidiaries.  BFC expects to receive dividends from Woodbridge which will be utilized to fund its current and future operations and investments.  However, as described below, dividend paymentsare dependent on a number of factors and may be subject to certain limitations outside of BFC’s control.

We expect to use our available funds to fund operations and meet our obligations.  We may also use available funds to make additional investments in the companies within our consolidated group, invest in real estate based opportunities and middle market operating businesses,  such as the investment we made in Renin during October 2013, invest in equity securities and/or repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. On September 21, 2009, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $10 million.  The share repurchase program replaced our $10 million repurchase program that our board of directors approved in October 2006 which placed a limitation on the number of shares which could be repurchased under the program at 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.  The programauthorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors considered by management.There were no shares repurchased under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or year ended December 31, 2012.

BFC has not received cash dividends from BBX Capital since March 2009. Prior to its deregistration as a savings and loan holding company following the sale of BankAtlantic, the payment of dividends by BBX Capital was subject to the oversight of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and was restricted by the terms of the indentures governing its TruPS due to BBX Capital’s deferral of interest payments thereunder.  While these restrictions no longer apply, BBX Capital has disclosed that it expects to utilize its available cash to pursue opportunities in accordance with its business and investment strategies and has no current plans to pay cash dividends to its shareholders.  BBX Capital will only pay dividends if and when declared by its board of directors, a majority of whom are independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE.

Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which could limit the payment of cash dividends and Bluegreen may only pay dividends subject to such restrictions as well as the declaration of dividends by its board of directors, a majority of whom were independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE prior to the Bluegreen merger on April 2, 2013.   In addition, as a result of the Bluegreen merger, Woodbridge, as the parent company of Bluegreen, is entitled to 100% of all dividends paid by Bluegreen and any subsequent dividend or distribution by Woodbridge requires the approval of the boards of directors of both BBX Capital and BFC, which own 46% and 54%, respectively, of Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid cash dividends totaling $38 million to Woodbridge.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, Woodbridge declared and paid cash dividends totaling of $36.1 million, which were allocated pro rata to BFC and BBX Capital based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge ($19.5 million to BFC and $16.6 million to BBX Capital).

During each of the first three quarters of 2012, BFC received approximately $127,000 of dividend payments with respect to the shares of Benihana’s common stock that BFC owned at that time.  As previously described, BFC received a total of approximately $25.75 million pursuant to open market sales of Benihana’s common stock and in exchange for its remaining interest in Benihana’s common stock in connection with Safflower’s acquisition of Benihana during the third quarter of 2012. 

We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from other sources of funds, including potential dividends from Woodbridge, will allow us to meet our anticipated near-term liquidity needs. If those sources of funds are not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we might seek to liquidate some of our investments or fund operations with the proceeds from additional equity or debt financings. With respect to long-term liquidity requirements, in addition to the foregoing, we may alsoseek to raise funds through the incurrence of long-term secured or unsecured indebtedness. However, these alternatives may not be available to us on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise funds through the sources discussed above would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Woodbridge

Woodbridge, at its parent company level, had cash and cash equivalents totaling $557,000at September 30, 2013.  Woodbridge’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash holdings and dividend distributions received from Bluegreen.  As previously described, during the second and third quarters of 2013, Bluegreen paid a total of $38 million in cash dividends to Woodbridge, and Woodbridge subsequently paid a total of $36.1million in cash dividends to its members, BFC and BBX Capital, based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge. 

On September 21, 2009, BFC consummated its merger with Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (“WHC”). Pursuant to the merger, WHC merged with and into Woodbridge, and the shareholders of WHC at the effective time of the merger (other than BFC) were entitled to receive 3.47 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of WHC’s Class A Common Stock that they owned.  Under Florida law, holders of WHC’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve the merger 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 WHC’s Class A Common Stock, rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of WHC’s Class A Common Stock. In accordance with Florida law, Woodbridge thereafter commenced legal proceedings relating to the appraisal process.  In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded based on Woodbridge’s $1.10 per share offer to the Dissenting Holders, with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital.  On July 5, 2012, the presiding court in the appraisal rights action determined the fair value of the Dissenting Holders’ shares to be $1.78 per share and awarded legal and other costs in favor of the Dissenting Holders. As a result, the $4.6 million liability was increased to approximately $7.5 million (with a corresponding reduction to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million)during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to account for the per share value awarded.  On March 11, 2013, the court awarded legal fees and pre and post judgment interest to the Dissenting Holders for a total award to the Dissenting Holders of approximately $11.9 million (including the $7.5 million based on the $1.78 per share value determination).  As a result, the liability was increased by approximately $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. Woodbridge has appealed the court’s ruling with respect to its fair value determination and the award of legal fees and costs.  On April 5, 2013, Woodbridge posted a $13.4 million bond in connection with the appeal. The outcome of the appeal is uncertain.

Bluegreen

Bluegreen believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or proposed credit facilities and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under the purchase facilities and one or more replacement facilities Bluegreen may seek to put in place will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements, including the payment of Bluegreen’s contractual obligations, for the foreseeable future, subject to the successful implementation of ongoing strategic initiatives and the ongoing availability of credit. Bluegreen will continue its efforts to renew, extend, or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term.  Bluegreen may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue corporate debt securities or enter into joint ventures with third parties. If Bluegreen is unable to sell notes receivable or borrow under existing or new facilities, Bluegreen’s ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.

Carolina Oak

In 2007, Woodbridge’s predecessor acquired from Levitt and Sons, LLC (“Levitt and Sons”), its subsidiary at the time, all of the outstanding membership interests in Carolina Oak, LLC (“Carolina Oak”).  Carolina Oak engaged in homebuilding activities in South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Woodbridge was the obligor under a $37.2 million loan collateralized by certain property owned by Carolina Oak.  During 2009, the lender declared the loan to be in default and filed an action for foreclosure.  On April 26, 2011, a settlement agreement was entered into to resolve the disputes and litigation relating to the loan. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the settlement agreement, (i) Woodbridge paid $2.5 million to the note holder, (ii) Carolina Oak conveyed to the note holder the real property securing the loan and (iii) the note holder agreed not to pursue certain remedies, including a deficiency judgment, and after the expiration of an agreed-upon time period (which expired during April 2012), to fully release Woodbridge and Carolina Oak. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a deferred gain on debt settlement of $29.9 million was recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2011 and was recognized as income in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as a result of the full release of Woodbridge and Carolina Oak in April 2012.

BBX Capital

BBX Capital had cash of$18.4 million as of September 30, 2013, which does not include $6.9 million of cash held in FAR.  BBX Capital had $9.1 million of current liabilities as of September 30, 2013.  BBX Capital’s principal source of liquidity is its cash holdings, funds obtained from payments on and sales of its loans, loan payoffs, sales of real estate owned, income from income producing real estate, and distributions received from FAR and Woodbridge. While FAR is consolidated in BBX Capital’s financial statements, the cash held in FAR and generated by its assets will be used primarily to pay FAR’s operating expenses and to pay BB&T’s 95% preferred membership interest and the related priority return and will generally not be available for distribution to BBX Capital.  Once BB&T receives such amount, BBX Capital will be the owner of all of FAR’s ownership interests.  The balance of BB&T’s preferred membership interest in FAR was approximately $110.6 million at September 30, 2013.  Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, BBX Capital expects to be able to meet its liquidity needs over the next twelve months.

During the first quarter of 2012, BBX Capital charged down its recorded investment of loans by $66.5 million to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell based on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) guidance to thrifts regarding valuation allowances on collateral dependent loans. This charge down consisted entirely of the charging off of existing specific valuation allowances. As a specific valuation allowance was previously established for these loans, the charge-offs did not impact BBX Capital’s provision for loan losses or net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2012, but did reduce BBX Capital’s allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in the loans.

Impaired Loans – Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, BBX Capital believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructured agreement.  Impairment is evaluated based on past due status for consumer and residential loans.  Impairment is evaluated as part of BBX Capital’s on-going credit monitoring process for commercial loans which results in the evaluation for impairment of substandard loans.  Factors considered in determining if a loan is impaired are past payment history, strength of the borrower or guarantors, and cash flow associated with the collateral or business.  If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing interest rate or based on the fair value of the loan. Collateral dependent impaired loans are charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell. Interest payments on impaired loans for all loan classes are recognized on a cash basis, unless collectability of the principal and interest amount is probable, in which case interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

BBX Capital’s impaired loans as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

Impaired loans without specific valuation allowances represent loans that were written-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, loans in which the collateral value less cost to sell was greater than the carrying value of the loan, loans in which the present value of the cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rate were equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loans, or large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that were collectively measured for impairment.

BBX Capital monitors impaired collateral dependent loans and performs an impairment analysis on these loans quarterly. Generally, a full appraisal is obtained when a non-homogeneous real estate loan is initially evaluated for impairment and an updated full appraisal is obtained within one year from the prior appraisal date, or earlier if management deems it appropriate based on significant changes in market conditions.  In instances where a property is in the process of foreclosure, an updated appraisal may be postponed beyond one year, as an appraisal is required on the date of foreclosure; however, such loans remain subject to quarterly impairment analyses and adjustments.  Included in total impaired loans as of September 30, 2013 were $90.9 million of collateral dependent loans, of which $87.5 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and $3.4 million were measured by adjusting appraisals, as appropriate, to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date.  The loans that did not have current appraisals were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $0.8 million based on changes in market conditions.  

Credit Quality Information

BBX Capital monitors delinquency trends, net charge-off levels,  levels of impaired loans, current loan to value ratios, credit scores and general economic conditionsin an effort to assess loan credit quality.  BBX Capital assesses commercial loan credit quality through accrual and non-accrual loan classifications.  Commercial loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the full payment of the loan’s principal and interest is in doubt, which may be due to factors including material deterioration of conditions surrounding the principal source of repayment, insufficient borrower capacity to service the debt, significantly delayed property sales or development schedules, declines in the loan-to-value ratio of the loan’s collateral or delinquencies greater than ninety days.  Accruing commercial loans are generally loans in which BBX Capital’s management believes that it is probable that BBX Capital will collect loan payments in accordance with the contractual or modified contractual terms of the loan.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules, extending loan maturities, deferring loan payments until the loan maturity date and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. The majority of concessions for consumer loans have involved changing monthly payments from interest and principal payments to interest only payments or deferring several monthly loan payments until the loan maturity date.  Commercial real estate and non-real estate loan concessions were primarily interest rate reductions to below market interest rates and extensions of maturity dates based on the risk profile of the loan.  Residential and small business loan concessions primarily have involved reductions of monthly payments through extensions of the amortization period and/or deferral of monthly payments.

Consumer and residential troubled debt restructured loans had no financial statement effect as the affected loans were generally on non-accrual status and measured for impairment before the restructuring. The financial statement effects of commercial and small business troubled debt restructured loans was the establishment of specific valuation allowances, if any, in place of the general allowance for those loans that had not already been placed on nonaccrual status. There was an impact to the allowance for loan losses associated with loans for which concessions were made, as the concessions generally resulted from the expectation of slower future cash flows.

There were no troubled debt restructurings during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012, BBX Capital modified two non-real-estate small business loans with a recorded investment of $296,000 in a troubled debt restructuring.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, two small business real estate loans, two small business non-real estate loans, one consumer loan and one residential amortizing loan with recorded investments of $342,000,  $296,000,  $47,000 and $62,000, respectively, were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

There were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings since January 1, 2012 that experienced a payment default during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.  There was one residential commercial real estate loan and two other commercial real estate loans with a recorded investment of $6.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively that were modified in troubled debt restructurings since January 1, 2011 that experienced a payment default during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  There were two residential amortizing loans, two residential interest only loans, one residential commercial real estate loan and two other commercial real estate loans with recorded investments of $177,000, $247,000,  $6.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively, that were modified in troubled debt restructurings since January 1, 2011 that experienced a payment default during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Loans held for sale

BBX Capital’s loans held for sale as of September 30, 2013 consisted of $12.9 million of small business loans and $3.2 million of commercial real estate loans.  BBX Capital’s loans held for sale as of December 31, 2012 consisted of $18.8 million of small business loans and $6.0 million of commercial real estate loans.

Together, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo may be deemed to beneficially own shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately 72% the Company’s total voting power.  Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo are each executive officers and directors of BBX Capital, and they served as executive officers and directors of BankAtlantic until July 2012 when BBX Capital sold BankAtlantic to BB&T.  In addition, Jarett S. Levan, the son of Alan B. Levan, is an executive officer and director of the Company and BBX Capital, and he was an executive officer and director of BankAtlantic until its sale to BB&T in July 2012.  Further, Seth M. Wise, an executive officer and director of the Company, and John K. Grelle, an executive officer of the Company, are each executive officers of BBX Capital.

The Company and BBX Capital own 54% and 46%, respectively, of the outstanding equity interests in Woodbridge, which is the sole shareholder of Bluegreen as a result of the Bluegreen merger described below.  Prior to such merger, the Company, indirectly through Woodbridge, owned approximately 54% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock.  In addition, Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo served, and continue to serve, as Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, of Bluegreen.  The Company also had a direct non-controlling interest in Benihana, and Mr. Alan Levan and Mr. Abdo served as directors of Benihana, in each case until August 2012 when Benihana was acquired by Safflower.

On April 2, 2013, Woodbridge acquired all of the then-outstanding shares of Bluegreen not previously owned by Woodbridge in a cash merger transaction.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement between the parties, dated as of November 14, 2012, Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge, whose shares of Bluegreen’s common stock were canceled in connection with the Bluegreen merger without any payment therefor) received consideration of $10.00 in cash for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the Bluegreen merger, including unvested restricted shares. In addition, each option to acquire shares of Bluegreen’s common stock that was outstanding at the effective time of the Bluegreen merger, whether vested or unvested, was canceled in exchange for the holder’s right to receive the excess, if any, of the $10.00 per share merger consideration over the exercise price per share of the option. The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $149.2 million.  As a result of the Bluegreen merger, Bluegreen, which was the surviving corporation of the transaction, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.

In connection with the financing of the Bluegreen merger, the Company and Woodbridge entered into a Purchase Agreement with BBX Capital on April 2, 2013.  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. The Company continues to hold the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests. BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge consisted of $60 million in cash and a promissory note in Woodbridge’s favor in the principal amount of $11.75 million. The promissory note has a term of five years, accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and provides for payments of interest only on a quarterly basis during the term of the promissory note, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term.  During the second and third quarters of 2013, BBX Capital paid to Woodbridge approximately $294,000 of interest on the note.  In connection with BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, the Company and BBX Capital entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth the Company’s and BBX Capital’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides for, among other things, unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions from Woodbridge to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Company’s and BBX Capital’s respective percentage equity interests in Woodbridge.

The Company and Bluegreen were previously party to a merger agreement, dated November 11, 2011, which provided for Bluegreen to merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and for Bluegreen’s shareholders (other than Woodbridge and shareholders of Bluegreen who duly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Massachusetts law) to receive eight shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Bluegreen’s common stock that they held at the effective time of the transaction. The November 2011 merger agreement was conditioned upon, among other things, the listing of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange at the effective time of the transaction.  Due to the inability to satisfy this closing condition, on November 14, 2012, the Company and Bluegreen agreed to terminate the November 2011 merger agreement and the Company, Woodbridge and Bluegreen entered into the cash merger agreement described above.

On May 7, 2013, BFC, BBX Merger Sub, a  wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary of BFC, and BBX Capital entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which,subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, BBX Capital will merge with and into BBX Merger Sub, with BBX Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, BBX Capital’s shareholders (other than BFC and shareholders of BBX Capital who exercise and perfect their appraisal rights in accordance with Florida law) will be entitled to receive 5.39 shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that they hold at the effective time of the merger (the “Exchange Ratio”).  Each option to acquire shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock that is outstanding at the effective time of the merger, whether or not then exercisable, will be converted into an option to acquire shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares which may be acquired upon exercise of the option will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price of the option will be divided by the Exchange Ratio. In addition, each share of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock subject to a restricted stock award outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into a restricted share of BFC’s Class A Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions as in effect at the effective time of the merger, except that the number of shares subject to the award will be multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.  Consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of BFC’s and BBX Capital’s respective shareholders, BFC’s Class A Common Stock being approved for listing on a national securities exchange (or interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association) at the effective time of the merger, holders of not more than 10% of BBX Capital’s Common Stock exercising appraisal rights, and the absence of any “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to either BFC or BBX Capital.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors of either BFC or BBX Capital may, in its discretion, choose to waive any of the conditions to consummation of the merger and proceed to closing.BFC has agreed in the merger agreement to vote all of the shares of BBX Capital’s Common Stock that it owns in favor of the merger agreement, which would constitute the requisite approval of the merger agreement by BBX Capital’s shareholders under Florida law. There is no assurance that the merger will be consummated on the currently contemplated terms or at all.

On October 30, 2013, Renin Holdings LLC, a newly formed joint venture entity beneficially owned 81% by BBX Capital and 19% by BFC, through newly formed acquisition subsidiaries acquired substantially all of the assets of Renin Corp. and its subsidiaries, manufacturers of interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products, for approximately $14.6 million in cash.  The $14.6 million transaction consideration is subject to certain potential post-closing adjustments based on the Sellers’ working capital as of the closing and certain contractually provided Seller indemnities.    Bluegreen Specialty Finance, LLC, a subsidiary of Bluegreen, funded approximately $9.4 million of the transaction consideration in the form of a term loan and revolver facilityto the Purchasers.  The loan includes a$3.0 million term loan and provides for additional borrowings of up to $9 million on a revolving basis ($6.4 million of which was drawn upon at the closing), subject to the terms of a borrowing basis specified in the loan.   Amounts outstanding under the  loan bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.25% per annum and are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Purchasers.  All amounts outstanding under the loan will, unless extended, become due on April 30, 2014.The balance of the transaction consideration of $5.2 million was funded approximately $4.2 million by BBX Capital and approximately $1.0 million by BFC in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin Holdings LLC.  See Note 1 for additional information regarding the Renin Acquisition.

The following table presents information relating to the shared services arrangementsbetween BFC, BBX Capital (including BankAtlantic) and Bluegreen, and the information technology services and office facilities agreements between BFC and BBX Capital (including BankAtlantic) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

(1)	Pursuant to the terms of shared services agreements between BFC and BBX Capital, until the consummation of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T during July 2012, subsidiaries of BFC provided human resources, risk management, investor relations, executive office administration and other services to BBX Capital.  Subsidiaries of BFC continue to provide certain risk management and administrative services to BBX Capital.  BFC’s subsidiaries also provide risk management and administrative services to Bluegreen. The costs of shared services are allocated based upon the usage of the respective services.
(2)	In December 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with BBX Capital pursuant to which BBX Capital provides office facilities to the Company at BBX Capital’s and the Company’s principal executive offices.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company reimburses BBX Capital at cost for certain costs and expenses related to the office facilities provided.
(3)	Prior to the completion of the BankAtlantic Sale in July 2012, as part of the shared service arrangements, BFC paid BankAtlantic and Bluegreen for office facilities utilized by BFC and its shared services operations.  BFC also paid BankAtlantic approximately $8,000 and $60,000 for information technology related services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, pursuant to a separate agreement.

In June 2010, BBX Capital and BankAtlantic entered into a real estate advisory service agreement with BFC for assistance relating to the work-out of loans and the sale of real estate owned. Under the terms of the agreement, BFC received a monthly fee of $12,500 from each of BankAtlantic and BBX Capital and, if BFC’s efforts resulted in net recoveries of any non-performing loan or the sale of real estate owned, BFC received a fee equal to 1% of the net value recovered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, BFC received an aggregate of $25,000and $260,000, respectively, of real estate advisory service fees under this agreement. 

The above-described agreements and relationships between BFC and BankAtlantic were either terminated effective upon the closing of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T during July 2012 or were assumed by BB&T for a limited period of time after consummation of the BB&T Transaction.  As a result of the BankAtlantic sale, such agreements and relationships are no longer considered related party transactions.  In addition, the real estate advisory service agreement between BFC and BBX Capital was terminated during July 2012.

In prior periods, BBX Capital issued options to purchase shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock to employees of BFC.  Additionally, certain employees of BBX Capital have transferred to affiliate companies, and BBX Capital has elected, in accordance with the terms of BBX Capital’s stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. BBX Capital from time to time also issues options and restricted stock awards to employees of BFC that perform services for BBX Capital. Expenses relating to all options and restricted stock awards granted by BBX Capital to employees of BFC were approximately $2,000 and $19,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  The Company reimbursed BBX Capital for the full amount of these expenses.  There were no such related compensation expenses during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Bluegreen paid a subsidiary of BFC approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for a variety of management advisory services. In addition, BFC had an agreement with Bluegreen relating to the engagement of different independent registered public accounting firms. Pursuant to this agreement, Bluegreen reimbursed BFC during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 approximately $0.4 million for fees paid by BFC to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, BFC’s independent registered public accounting firm, for services performed at Bluegreen as part of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s annual audit of BFC’s consolidated financial statements. This agreement was terminated in connection with Bluegreen’s decision during October 2012 to engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm.

Beginning in 2009, Bluegreen entered into a land lease with Benihana, which constructed and operates a restaurant on one of Bluegreen’s resort properties. Under the terms of the lease, Bluegreen receives payments from Benihana of approximately $0.1 million annually.

Certain of BFC’s affiliates, including its executive officers, have independently made investments with their own funds in both public and private entities that BFC sponsored in 2001 and in which it holds investments.

[1] In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, during the second quarter of 2012, BFC reclassified its 5% cumulative preferred stock as a liability due to an amendment to the rights and privileges of such stock which, among other things, requires BFC to redeem shares of the 5% cumulative preferred stock in future periods. As a result of such reclassification, the difference between the fair value of the 5% cumulative preferred stock and its carrying amount was required to be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, which was deducted from net earnings available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share. In connection with the reclassification of BFC's 5% cumulative preferred stock, 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 5% cumulative preferred stock.

(1) In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, during the second quarter of 2012, BFC reclassified its 5% cumulative preferred stock as a liability due to an amendment to the rights and privileges of such stock which, among other things, requires BFC to redeem shares of the 5% cumulative preferred stock in future periods.  As a result of such reclassification, the difference between the fair value of the 5% cumulative preferred stock and its carrying amount was required to be recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, which was deducted from net earnings available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share.  In connection with the reclassification of BFC's 5% cumulative preferred stock, 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 5% cumulative preferred stock.

Liabilities on a non-recurring basis

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Loans Measured For Impairment

Impaired loans are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell. The fair value of BBX Capital’s loans may significantly increase or decrease based on changes in property values as its loans are primarily secured by real estate.  BBX Capital 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 BBX Capital may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, BBX Capital uses its judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. BBX Capital generally recognizes impairment losses on homogenous loans based on third party broker price opinions or automated valuation services when impaired homogenous loans become 120 days delinquent. These third party valuations from real estate professionals also use Level 3 inputs in determining fair values. The observable market inputs used to fair value loans include comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties, risk adjusted discount rates and foreclosure time frames and exposure periods. As a consequence, the calculation of the fair value of the collateral is considered Level 3 inputs.

Impaired Real Estate Owned

Real estate owned is generally valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties.  The market observable data typically consists of comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties and risk adjusted discount rates. However, the appraisers or brokers use professional judgment in determining the fair value of the properties and BBX Capital may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. As a consequence of using appraisals, broker price opinions and adjustments to appraisals, the fair values of the properties are considered Level 3 inputs.    

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are valued using an income approach with Level 3 inputs as market quotes or sale transactions of similar loans are generally not available.  The fair value is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in the loans held for sale portfolio.  For non-performing loans held for sale, the forecasted cash flows are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell adjusted for foreclosure expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until foreclosure or sale.

Management of each of the respective companies 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, the fair value of certain of these financial instruments has been derived using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs. Estimates used in net present value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is unknown and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. These fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates.  As such, the estimated value upon sale or disposition of the asset may not be received and the estimated value upon disposition of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturitymay not be paid.

Interest-bearing deposits in banks include $0.5 million of certificates of deposits guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) with maturities of less than one year as of December 31, 2012. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short-term maturity of these certificates of deposit, the fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.

The fair value of tax certificates was calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs.  The fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that take into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments. 

Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into performing and non-performing categories.  The fair value of BBX Capital’s 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 fair value of non-performing collateral dependent loans is estimated using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value of non-performing loans utilizes the fair value of the collateral adjusted for operating and selling expenses and discounted over the estimated holding period. 

BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR is considered an adjustable rate debt security.  The fair value of this security is calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs and was obtained by discounting forecasted cash flows by risk adjusted market interest rate spreads to the LIBOR swap curve.  The market spreads were obtained from reference data in the secondary institutional market place. 

The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on the contractual cash flows discounted at a market rate or based on market price quotes from the over-the-counter bond market.

The fair value of Bluegreen’s notes receivable is estimated using Level 3 inputs and is based on estimated future cash flows considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market rate. 

The amounts reported in the consolidated statement of financial position relating to Bluegreen’s notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings, including receivable-backed notes payable, that provide for variable interest ratesapproximate the estimated fair values.  The fair value of Bluegreen’s fixed rate receivable-backed notes payable was determined using Level 3 inputs by discounting the net cash outflows estimated to be used to repay the debt.  These obligations are to be satisfied using the proceeds from the consumer loans that secure the obligations.  The fair value of BBX Capital’s notes payable is measured using the income approach with Level 3 inputs and was obtained by discounting the forecasted cash flows based on risk adjusted market interest rates.

Variable Interest Entities

7.    Variable Interest Entities

Bluegreen

Bluegreen sells VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen, with the exception of one securitization transaction (the Legacy Securitization) entered into in 2010 which was guaranteed by Bluegreen (See Note 9 of this report and Note 19 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in BFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for further information regarding the Legacy Securitization). These transactions are generally designed to provide liquidity for Bluegreen and transfer the economic risks and certain of the benefits of the notes receivable to third-parties.  In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities that are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable. Bluegreen services the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties based on market conditions at the time of the securitizations.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, Bluegreen analyzes its variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, 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 bases its qualitative analysis on the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. Bluegreen also uses qualitative analysis to determine if Bluegreen must consolidate a variable interest entity as the primary beneficiary.  In accordance with applicable accounting guidance currently in effect, Bluegreen has determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which Bluegreen is the primary beneficiary and,therefore, consolidates the entities into its financial statements.  As previously described, BFC consolidates Bluegreen and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs into BFC’s financial statements.

Under the terms of certain of Bluegreen’s timeshare note sales, Bluegreen has the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes receivable for new notes receivable at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest or, in some facilities, at 24% of the original sale price associated with the VOI which collateralizes the defaulted notes receivable.  Voluntary repurchases and substitutions by Bluegreen of defaulted notes receivable during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012 were $5.4 millionand $8.2 million, respectively. Bluegreen’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the associated notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

Information related to the assets and liabilities of the VIEs of Bluegreen included in the consolidated statements of financial condition is set forth below (in thousands):

		September 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012
Restricted cash	$	55,153	$	38,399
Securitized notes receivable, net		356,416		354,939
Receivable backed notes payable - non-recourse		385,752		356,015
Receivable backed notes payable - recourse		6,927		10,270

The restricted cash and the securitized notes receivable balances set forth above are restricted to satisfy obligations of the VIEs.

BBX Capital

In consideration for BB&T assuming BBX Capital’s  $285.4 million in principal amount of TruPS, BB&T received from BBX Capital at the closing of the BB&T Transaction a 95% preferred membership interest in the net cash flows of FAR until such time as it has recovered $285 million in preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum.  At that time, BB&T’s interest in FAR will terminate, and BBX Capital, which initially holds a 5% preferred membership interest in the net cash flows of FAR, will thereafter own 100% of FAR.   BBX Capital provided BB&T with an incremental $35 million guarantee to further assure BB&T’s recovery of the $285 million preference amount within seven years.  At September 30, 2013, BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR had been reduced to approximately $110.6 million. 

BBX Capital’s variable interests in FAR include its 5%  preferred membership interest in the cash flows of FAR, rights to 100% ownership of FAR and the incremental $35 million guarantee in favor of BB&T.  BBX Capital also services approximately $15.9 million of FAR’s commercial loans, $12.7million of FAR’s properties and equipment and $9.7million of FAR’s real estate owned.  BBX Capital has a right of first refusal to acquire certain FAR commercial loans. It can also purchase certain commercial loans on a basis established in FAR’s amended and restated limited liability companyoperating agreement. 

BBX Capital determined that it was the primary beneficiary of FAR and therefore should consolidate FAR in its financial statements. This conclusion was based primarily on the determination that BBX Capital has the right to receive any appreciation of the assets of FAR through its rights to the residual cash flows of FAR and has the obligation to absorb losses as well as its obligations under the incremental $35 million guarantee to BB&T assuring the repayment of BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR.  Also contributing to BBX Capital’s determination that it was the primary beneficiary of FAR was its ability to direct the activities relating to the commercial loans that it services, its ability to purchase certain commercial loans and its right of first refusal in connection with the disposition of certain commercial loans.

BB&T’s preferred equity interest in FAR only entitles it to a  $285 million preference amount plus the related priority return.  Pursuant to the amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement, FAR is required to make quarterly distributions, or more frequent distributions as approved by FAR’s Board of Managers, of excess cash flows from its operations and the orderly disposition of its assets to redeem the preferred membership interests in FAR.  As such, the Class A units, which represent the preferred interest in FAR, are considered mandatorily redeemable and are reflected as debt obligations in theconsolidated statements of financial condition and the priority return is considered interest expense in theconsolidated statements of operations.

The activities of FAR are governed by the amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement, which grants the Board of Managers management authority over FAR.  The Board of Managers has four members, two members elected by BBX Capital and two members elected by BB&T.  Any action on matters before the Board of Managers requires the approval of at least three of the members.  The members designated by BB&T will resign from the Board of Managers upon the full redemption of its preferred interest in FAR.

The carrying amount of assets and liabilities of FAR and the classification of these assets and liabilities in BFC’s consolidated statements of financial condition was as follows (in thousands):

		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
Cash and interest bearing deposits in banks	$	6,937	6,615
Loans held for sale		12,922	20,052
Loans receivable, net		129,052	242,506
Real estate owned		40,793	21,997
Office properties and equipment		12,669	-
Other assets (1)		1,389	5,038
Total assets	$	203,762	296,208
BB&T preferred interest in FAR, LLC	$	110,646	196,877
Other liabilities		14,280	13,603
Total liabilities	$	124,926	210,480

(1) Included in other assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0.8 million and $3.4 million of tax certificates, net of allowance of $0.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. 

Until BB&T’s preference amount is repaid, the proceeds from the monetization of FAR’s assets are restricted to payments of expenses, including the priority return and estimated working capital requirements of FAR, and the repayment of FAR’s preferred membership interests. FAR currently anticipates making distributions at least quarterly. As the holder of 5% of the preferred interests, BBX Capital will receive 5%  of such distributions.  FAR finances its activities through revenues from principal and interest payments received on, and the monetization of, its assets. 

BBX Capital’s maximum loss exposure in FAR if all of FAR’s assets were deemed worthless would have been $114 million as of September 30, 2013,  consisting of $79 million of net assets plus the $35 million incremental guarantee.

Discontinued operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30,  2013 related solely to Bluegreen Communities and are not significant.

Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 included BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Tax Certificates and Capital Services components and Bluegreen Communities.  Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included Cypress Creek Holdings, a subsidiary of Woodbridge. 

The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations forBluegreen Communities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and Cypress Creek Holdings for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 (in thousands):

Bluegreen Communities 

In May 2012, Bluegreen sold substantially all of the assets that comprised Bluegreen Communities to Southstar for a purchase price of $29.0 million in cash. Certain assets, including primarily Bluegreen Communities’ notes receivable portfolio, were not sold to Southstar.

Discontinued operations set forth in the table above include interest expense primarily on Bluegreen’s H4BG Communities Facility as certain of the assets classified as held for sale (and which were sold to Southstar as part of the Bluegreen Communities sale) served as collateral under this facility.

Cypress Creek Holdings

During January 2012, Cypress Creek Holdings sold the office building it owned for approximately $10.8 million. The building, which was classified as an asset held for sale as of December 31, 2011, served as collateral for an approximately $11.2 million mortgage loan. The proceeds of the sale plus a $668,000 payment made by Cypress Creek Holdings were paid to the lender in full satisfaction of the loan. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $4.4 million in connection with the sale during the first quarter of 2012.

BBX Capital

Sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T

BankAtlantic’s five reporting units each reflected a component of the BankAtlantic entity and was the lowest level for which cash flows could be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes.  These five components were Community Banking, Commercial Lending, Tax Certificates, Investments, and Capital Services.  Based on the terms of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T, BBX Capital determined that the Community Banking, Investments, Capital Services and Tax Certificates reporting units should be treated as discontinued operations.  BBX Capital sold all operations and the majority of the assets and liabilities of these discontinued reporting units to BB&T upon the consummation of the BB&T Transaction on July 31, 2012. BBX Capital’s management does not intend to continue in any material respect any activities of or have any continuing involvement with these reporting units. Although certain assets of the Commercial Lending reporting unit were sold to BB&T, BBX Capital has continued Commercial Lending reporting unit activities resulting in BBX Capital including the Commercial Lending reporting unit in continuing operations in the statements of operations.  

Pursuant to the sale to BB&T, in addition to certain assets associated with BBX Capital’s continuing Commercial Lending reporting unit, FAR also retained certain assets and liabilities that were associated with BBX Capital’s disposed reporting units (Community Banking, Tax Certificates, Investments, and Capital Services reporting units).  BBX Capital determined that the ongoing cash flows relating to the retained assets of the disposed reporting units expected in future periods were not significant relative to the historical cash flows from the activities of each reporting unit; therefore, the income and expenses associated with the disposed reporting units are reported in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The results of operations and cash flows associated with the retained assets associated with the disposed reporting units were included in continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The income from BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Capital Services and Tax Certificates reporting units included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was as follows (in thousands):

Commitments And Contingencies

10.    Commitments and Contingencies

BFC, Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, and Woodbridge (Parent Company)

A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 50% limited partner interest in a limited partnership that has a 10% interest in a limited liability company that owns an office building in Tampa, Florida. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $231,000and$282,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. In connection with the purchase of the office building by the limited liability company in June 2007, BFC guaranteed the payment of certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations that are not related to the financial performance of the property up to a maximum of $15.0 million, or $25.0 million in the event of any petition or involuntary proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfer of interests not in accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates. No amounts are recorded in the Company’s financial statements for the obligations associated with this guarantee based on the potential indemnification by the unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.

Based on current accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of variable interest entities implemented on January 1, 2010, we are not deemed the primary beneficiaries of the above-described entities related to BFC/CCC’s investments as we do not have the power to direct the activities that can significantly impact the performance of these entities. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated into our financial statements.

On November 9, 2007, Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge’s former wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiary, and substantially all of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into during June 2008, as subsequently amended (the “Settlement Agreement”), Woodbridge agreed to (i) pay $8 million to the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates (sometimes referred to herein as the “Debtors’ Estate”), (ii) place $4.5 million in a release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a third party release and injunction, (iii) make a $300,000 payment to a deposit holders fund and (iv) share a percentage of any tax refund attributable to periods prior to the bankruptcy with the Debtors’ Estate. In addition, Woodbridge agreed to waive and release substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including administrative expense claims through July 2008, and the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Joint Committee”)) agreed to waive and release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. On February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by the Debtors and the Joint Committee.  That order also approved the settlement pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Court’s order was filed by any party, and the settlement was consummated on March 3, 2009, at which time payment was made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement. As of December 31, 2011, Woodbridge placed into escrow approximately $11.7 million, which represented the portion of the tax refund that was likely to be required to be paid to the Debtors’ Estate under the Settlement Agreement. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the $11.7 million was paid to the Debtors’ Estate.  In addition, during August 2012, Woodbridge paid to the Debtors’ Estate a settlement holdback amount of approximately $485,000 plus interest, thereby satisfying all of its obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

In the ordinary course of business, BFC and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities. Reserves are accrued for amounts in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $11.9 million was accrued for pending legal proceedings involving BFC or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, or Woodbridge, at its parent company level(all of which related to the Woodbridge appraisal rights litigation described below).  

BFC believes that it has meritorious defenses in the pending legal actions and that reasonably possible losses arising from these pending legal matters, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, will not have a material impact on BFC’s financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, BFC may incur losses in excess of amounts accrued and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to BFC’s financial statements.

Woodbridge Holdings, LLC v. Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P., Cede & Co., William J. Maeck, Ravenswood Investments III, L.P., and The Ravenswood Investment Company, Circuit Court, 17th Judicial Circuit, Broward County, Florida.

Under Florida law, holders of WHC’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve BFC’s 2009 merger with WHC and who properly asserted and exercised their appraisal rights with respect to their shares 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 which they would otherwise have been entitled to receive. In accordance with Florida law, Woodbridge (the successor by merger to WHC) provided written notices and required forms to the dissenting shareholders setting forth, among other things, its determination that the fair value of WHC’s Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger was $1.10 per share. Dissenting shareholders, who collectively held approximately 4.2 million shares of WHC’s Class A Common Stock, rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of WHC’s Class A Common Stock. Under Florida law, Woodbridge thereafter commenced the appraisal rights action. In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital representing, in the aggregate, Woodbridge’s offer to the dissenting shareholders.  On July 5, 2012, the presiding court determined the fair value of the dissenting shareholders’ shares of WHC’s Class A Common Stock to be $1.78 per share and awarded legal and other costs in favor of the dissenting shareholders. As a result, the $4.6 million liability was increased to approximately $7.5 million as of June 30, 2012 (with a corresponding reduction to additional paid in capital of $2.8 million) to account for the per share value awarded.  On March 11, 2013, the court awarded legal fees and pre and post judgment interest to the dissenting shareholders for a total award of approximately $11.9 million (including the $7.5 million based on the $1.78 per share value determination).  As a result, the liability was increased by approximately $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 to $11.9 million as of December 31, 2012.  During April 2013, Woodbridge appealed the court’s ruling with respect to its fair value determination and the award of legal fees and costs and posted a $13.4 million bond in connection with the appeal. The outcome of the appeal is uncertain.

In re Bluegreen Corporation Shareholder Litigation

Between November 16, 2011 and February 13, 2012, seven purported class action lawsuits related to the previously proposed stock-for-stock merger between BFC, which at that time was the sole member of Woodbridge, and Bluegreen were filed against Bluegreen, the members of Bluegreen’s board of directors, BFC and BXG Florida Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Woodbridge formed for purposes of the merger (“BXG Merger Sub”). As described below, four of these lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action in Florida, and the other three lawsuits have been consolidated into a single action in Massachusetts and stayed in favor of the Florida action. Further information regarding each of these lawsuits is set forth below.

The four Florida lawsuits, captioned and styled Ronald Kirkland v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 16, 2011); Richard Harriman v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 22, 2011); Alfred Richner v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on December 2, 2011); and BHR Master Fund, LTD et al. v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on February 13, 2012), were consolidated into an action styled In Re Bluegreen Corporation Shareholder Litigation. On April 9, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint which alleged that the individual director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by (i) agreeing to sell Bluegreen without first taking steps to ensure adequate, fair and maximum consideration, (ii) engineering a transaction to benefit themselves and not the shareholders, and (iii) failing to protect the interests of Bluegreen’s minority shareholders. In the complaint, the plaintiffs also alleged that BFC breached its fiduciary duties to Bluegreen’s minority shareholders and that BXG Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by Bluegreen’s directors and BFC. In addition, the complaint included allegations relating to claimed violations of Massachusetts law. The complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, along with damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 13, 2012, Bluegreen’s motion to dismiss the action was denied. Bluegreen subsequently answered the complaint.

The three Massachusetts lawsuits were filed in the Superior Court for Suffolk County in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and styled as follows: Gaetano Bellavista Caltagirone v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 16, 2011); Alan W. Weber and J.B. Capital Partners L.P. v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on November 29, 2011); and Barry Fieldman, as Trustee for the Barry & Amy Fieldman Family Trust v. Bluegreen Corporation et al. (filed on December 6, 2011). In their respective complaints, the plaintiffs alleged that the individual director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to sell Bluegreen without first taking steps to ensure adequate, fair and maximum consideration. The Fieldman and Weber actions contained the same claim against BFC. In addition, the complaints included claims that BXG Merger Sub, in the case of the Fieldman action, BFC and BXG Merger Sub, in the case of the Caltagirone action, and Bluegreen, in the case of the Weber action, aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On January 17, 2012, the three Massachusetts lawsuits were consolidated into a single action styled In Re Bluegreen Corp. Shareholder Litigation, which is presently stayed in favor of the Florida action.

Following the public announcement of the termination of the stock-for-stock merger agreement and the entry into the previously described agreement relating to the Bluegreen cash merger, the plaintiffs in the Florida action filed a motion for leave to file a supplemental complaint on November 28, 2012 in order to challenge the structure of, and consideration received by Bluegreen’s shareholders in, the cash merger.  On November 30, 2012, the Florida court granted the plaintiffs’ motion and the supplemental complaint was deemed filed as of that date.  The supplemental complaint alleges that the merger consideration remained inadequate and continued to be unfair to Bluegreen’s minority shareholders.

On January 25, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Florida action filed a Second Amended Class Action Complaint that set forth more fully their challenge to the Bluegreen cash merger.  The Second Amended Class Action Complaint asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duties against the individual director defendants, BFC, and Woodbridge, (ii) aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties against Bluegreen, BFC, Woodbridge, and BXG Merger Sub, and (iii) a violation of the section of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act regarding the approval of conflict of interest transactions.

As previously described, the Bluegreen cash merger was consummated on April 2, 2013.  However, the actions related to the transaction remain pending, with the plaintiffs seeking to recover damages in connection with the transaction.  BFC and Bluegreen believe that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the actions.

In re BBX Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation

On May 30, 2013, Haim Ronan filed a purported class action against BFC, BBX Merger Sub, BBX Capital and the members of BBX Capital’s board of directors seeking to represent BBX Capital’s shareholders in a lawsuit challenging the currently proposed merger between BBX Capital and BFC. In this action, which is styled Haim Ronan, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, v. Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo, Jarett S. Levan, Steven M. Coldren, Bruno L. Di Giulian, Charlie C. Winningham, II, David A. Lieberman, Willis N. Holcombe, Anthony P. Segreto, BBX Capital Corporation, BFC Financial Corporation and BBX Merger Sub, LLC and was filed in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Mr. Ronan asserted as a cause of action that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and good faith, in part, by failing to obtain a high enough price for the shares of BBX Capital to be acquired by BFC in the merger.  Mr. Ronan also asserted a cause of action against BFC and BBX Merger Sub for aiding and abetting the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.  Mr. Ronan is seeking an injunction blocking the proposed merger.  On May 31, 2013, in an action styled John P. Lauterbach, on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, v. BBX Capital Corporation, John E. Abdo, Norman H. Becker, Steven M. Coldren, Bruno L. Di Giulian, John K. Grelle, Willis N. Holcombe, Alan B. Levan, Jarett S. Levan, David A. Lieberman, Anthony P. Segreto, Charlie C. Winningham II, Seth M. Wise, BFC Financial Corporation and BBX Merger Sub, LLC and filed in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida,John P. Lauterbach filed a purported class action against all of the defendants named in Mr. Ronan’s complaint, challenging the currently proposed merger between BFC and BBX Capital for substantially the same reasons as set forth in Mr. Ronan’s complaint, but asserting an additional, direct cause of action for breach of fiduciary duties against BFC, Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo.  Mr. Lauterbach also added as defendants Norman H. Becker, who was appointed to BBX Capital’s board of directors on May 7, 2013, as well as John K. Grelle and Seth M. Wise, who serve as executive officers and directors of BFC and BBX Capital. On September 4, 2013, the Court entered an order consolidating the Lauterbach and Ronan actions into a single action styled In re BBX Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation, with the complaint filed in the Lauterbach action being deemed the operative complaint.  On October 11, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in the consolidated action which includes the same claims asserted in the Lauterbach complaint but includes certain additional allegations with respect to those claims.  BFC and BBX Capital believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

Bluegreen

In the ordinary course of its business, Bluegreen becomes subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, sale, marketing or financing of VOIs or its other resort fee-based services. Bluegreen is also subject to certain matters relating to its previous Bluegreen Communities’ business, substantially all of the assets of which Bluegreen sold on May 4, 2012. Additionally, from time to time, Bluegreen becomes involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions and various other parties. From time to time in the ordinary course of business, Bluegreen also receives individual consumer complaints, as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorney Generals. Bluegreen takes these matters seriously and attempts to resolve any such issues as they arise. Unless otherwise described below, Bluegreen believes that these claims are routine litigation incidental to its business.

Reserves are accrued for matters in which Bluegreen’s management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2013, $1.4 million had been accrued for matters believedby Bluegreen’s management to meet these criteria. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims.

Bluegreen’s management is not at this time able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur. In certain matters, Bluegreen is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.

The aggregate liabilityrelating to the known contingenciesof Bluegreen discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, losses in excess of amounts accrued may be incurred and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Tennessee Tax Audit

In 2005, the State of Tennessee Audit Division (the “Division”) audited certain subsidiaries within Bluegreen Resorts for the period from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004. On September 23, 2006, the Division issued a notice of assessment for approximately $0.7 million of accommodations tax based on the use of Bluegreen Vacation Club accommodations by Bluegreen Vacation Club members who became members through the purchase of non-Tennessee property. Bluegreen believes the attempt to impose such a tax is contrary to Tennessee law and has vigorously opposed such assessment by the Division. An informal conference was held in December 2007 to discuss this matter with representatives of the Division. No formal resolution of the issue was reached during the conference. By letter dated May 25, 2011, the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue issued a decision in which it held that two of the three types of transactions in question were taxable. The State of Tennessee Department of Revenue confirmed that Bluegreen had already remitted the proper amount of sales tax due on one of the two types of taxable transactions, but has taken the position that Bluegreen owed a total of $0.7 million in taxes and interest based on the second type of transaction. On August 1, 2011, Bluegreen filed suit in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee for the purpose of invalidating and setting aside the tax assessment made against Bluegreen by the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue.  Discovery matters relative to the litigation are ongoing. 

Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.

In Case No. 2006-Ca-3374, styled Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A. vs. Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.; Hubert A. Laird; and MSB of Destin, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida, during 2006, Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A., as escrow agent, brought an interpleader action seeking a determination as to whether Bluegreen, as purchaser, or Hubert A. Laird and MSB of Destin, Inc., as seller, was entitled to the $1.4 million escrow deposit being maintained with the escrow agent pursuant to a purchase and sale contract for real property located in Destin, Florida. Bluegreen maintained that its decision not to close on the purchase of the property was proper under the terms of the purchase and sale contract and that Bluegreen is therefore entitled to a return of the full escrow deposit. On June 1, 2011, the trial court made a finding that Bluegreen breached the purchase and sale contract and that the plaintiff was entitled to the escrow deposit and all accrued interest. Bluegreen filed a notice of appeal with the First District Court of Appeal seeking to appeal the trial court’s decision. The escrow deposit and all accrued interest were placed in the appropriate Court registry pending the outcome of the appeal.  In January 2013, an Amended Final Judgment was issued finding Bluegreen in breach of contract and awarding the plaintiff the entire deposit plus accrued interest.  Bluegreen subsequently filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the Court.  Before the Court rendered a response to the Motion, the matter was settled pursuant to an agreement under which Bluegreen received approximately $145,000 of the disputed deposit amount with the balance distributed to the plaintiff. 

The matters described below relate to Bluegreen Communities. As described above and further in Note 3, Bluegreen sold substantially all of the assets which comprised Bluegreen Communities to Southstar on May 4, 2012. However, Southstar did not assume the liabilities related to the matters described below in connection with the transaction, and Bluegreen therefore remains responsible for these matters and any liabilities resulting from them.

Mountain Lakes Mineral Rights

Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. (“Southwest”), a subsidiary of Bluegreen, was the developer of the Mountain Lakes subdivision in Texas. In Case No. 28006, styled Betty Yvon Lesley et a1. V. Bluff Dale Development Corporation, Bluegreen Southwest One. L.P. et al., in the 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County, Texas, the plaintiffs filed a declaratory judgment action against Southwest seeking to develop their reserved mineral interests in, on and under the Mountain Lakes subdivision. The plaintiffs’ claims are based on property law, oil and gas law, contract and tort theories. The property owners association and some of the individual landowners have filed cross actions against Bluegreen, Southwest and individual directors of the property owners association related to the mineral rights and certain amenities in the subdivision as described below. On January 17, 2007, the court ruled that the restrictions placed on the development that prohibited oil and gas production and development were invalid and not enforceable as a matter of law, that such restrictions did not prohibit the development of the plaintiffs’ prior reserved mineral interests and that Southwest breached its duty to lease the minerals to third parties for development. The court further ruled that Southwest was the sole holder of the right to lease the minerals to third parties. The order granting the plaintiffs’ motion was severed into Case No. 28769, styled Betty Yvon Lesley et a1. V. Bluff Dale Development Corporation, Bluegreen Southwest One. L.P. et al., in the 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County, Texas. Southwest appealed the trial court’s ruling. On January 22, 2009, in Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. et al. v. Betty Yvon Lesley et al., in the 11th Court of Appeals, Eastland, Texas, the Appellate Court reversed the trial court’s decision and ruled in Southwest’s favor and determined that all executive rights were owned by Southwest and then transferred to the individual property owners in connection with the sales of land. All property owner claims were decided in favor of Southwest. It was also decided that Southwest did not breach a fiduciary duty to the plaintiffs as an executive rights holder. On May 14, 2009, the plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Texas Supreme Court asking the Court to reverse the Appellate Court’s decision in favor of Southwest. On August 26, 2011, the Texas Supreme Court issued its opinion affirming the Appellate Court’s decision in part and reversing it in part. The Texas Supreme Court held that Southwest did not breach any covenants in the deed, but did breach a duty to the plaintiffs by filing restrictive covenants in connection with the development of the property which prohibited mineral development, and that the appropriate remedy was cancellation of the restrictive covenants. The Texas Supreme Court further ruled that the plaintiffs have no right of ingress to, or egress from, the subdivision, and that Southwest did not breach a duty to the plaintiffs by not leasing the mineral rights. The Texas Supreme Court remanded the case to the trial court for disposition consistent with its decision. On January 17, 2013, the trial court issued a partial judgment on remand. In its partial judgment, the trial court entered judgment on the issues rendered by the Court of Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court, including a finding that Southwest’s filing of restrictive covenants that attempted to prevent or restrict mineral development was a breach of a duty owed to the non-executive mineral rights owners. As such, the trial court canceled and declared void the section of the restrictive covenants preventing mineral development. However, the trial court also declared that the remaining provisions of the restrictive covenants remain in full force, and the filing of the restrictive covenants by Southwest was not a breach of contract. The trial court also held that the claims by the plaintiffs for reformation of the original deeds dealing with the quantum of minerals reserved therein should be severed from this case.  During mediation held in June 2012, Southwest and the named plaintiffs (Lesley) reached an agreement, with Southwest agreeing to payLesley$200,000 for dismissal of the claims for lost mineral rights.  Settlement with the other plaintiffs was not reached at that time. On August 8, 2013, the court ruled in favor of Southwest, denying the plaintiffs’ claim that Bluegreen Corporation aided and abetted Southwest in recording the invalidated restricted covenants, and also ruled that the plaintiffs had not yet established a cause of action entitling them to the recovery of attorneys’ fees if they should prevail at trial. On September 5, 2013, the parties signed a Rule 11 Agreement tentatively settling all matters remaining in this lawsuit for a total payment to the plaintiffs of $1.0 million. The parties subsequently signed a final settlement agreement and on November 12, 2013, Bluegreen made the $1.0 million settlement payment to legal counsel for the plaintiffs.

Separately, as a result of the Texas Supreme Court’s decision invalidating the restrictive covenants prohibiting mineral development within the subdivision, certain lot owners within Mountain Lakes filed a cross-claim against Southwest alleging fraud, negligence and a violation of deceptive trade practices laws based on a claim that the invalidation of the restrictive covenants has caused devaluation of their residential lots and other economic damages. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the claims of all Mountain Lakes lot owners participating in the cross-claim were settled for a cash payment to the lot owners totaling approximately $0.9 million.

In re Bluegreen Corporation Shareholder Litigation

See the above-described class action lawsuits relating to the Bluegreen merger.

BBX Capital

BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant.   Although BBX Capital believes it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of litigation matters and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.

BBX Capital reserves are accrued for matters in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. These accrual amounts as of September 30, 2013 are not material to BBX Capital’s or BFC’s financial statements. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims.

A range of reasonably possible losses is estimated for matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred or that a loss is probable but not reasonably estimable. Management of BBX Capital currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses of up to $4.4 million in excess of the accrued liability relating to these legal matters.  This estimated range of reasonably possible losses represents the estimated possible losses over the life of such legal matters, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available as of September 30, 2013. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent BBX Capital’s maximum loss exposure.

In certain matters BBX Capital is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments in the case provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.

Liabilities arising from the litigation matters discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on BBX Capital’s or BFC’s financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters,losses in excess of amounts accrued may be incurred and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to BBX Capital’s or BFC’s financial statements.

On May 10, 2013, BBX Capital received a notice from BB&T regarding a series of pending and threatened claims asserted against BB&T’s subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company, as successor to BankAtlantic, by certain individuals who purport to have had accounts in their names with BankAtlantic prior to consummation of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T.  The claims allege wrongful conduct by BankAtlantic in connection with certain alleged unauthorized transactions associated with their accounts.  BB&T’s notice asserts its belief that it may be entitled to indemnification under the BB&T Agreement with respect to such claims.

The following is a description of certain ongoing litigation matters:

In re BBX Capital Corporation Shareholder Litigation

See the above-described consolidated purported class action lawsuit challenging the currently proposed merger between BFC and BBX Capital.

Securities and Exchange Commission Complaint

On January 18, 2012, the SEC brought an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against BBX Capital and Alan B. Levan, BBX Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, alleging that they violated securities laws by not timely disclosing known adverse trends in BBX Capital’s commercial real estate loans, selectively disclosing problem loans and engaging in improper accounting treatment of certain specific loans which may have resulted in a material understatement of its net loss in BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Further, the complaint alleges that Mr. Alan B. Levan intentionally misled investors in related earnings calls.  The SEC is seeking a finding by the court of violations of securities laws, a permanent injunction barring future violations, civil money penalties and, in the case of Mr. Alan B. Levan, an order barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company. 

Discovery in the action is now closed.  The Court has denied summary judgment as to most issues, but granted the SEC’s motion for partial summary judgment that certain statements in one of Alan Levan’s answers on a July 25, 2007 investor conference call were false.  The grant of partial summary judgment does not resolve any of the SEC’s claims in its favor; with respect to Mr. Alan Levan’s answers on the July 25, 2007 conference call, the jury will still determine issues relating to materiality and scienter.  Due to pending and unresolved motions regarding the admissibility of expert testimony, the case has been continued and is currently set for trial during the two-week period beginning on January 13, 2014.  BBX Capital believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.

BBX Capital Shareholders Lawsuit Seeking to Block the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T under the Agreement

On April 5, 2012, J. Phillip Max filed a class action complaint in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida against Alan Levan, Jarett Levan, John Abdo, Steven Coldren, D. Keith Cobb, Charles C. Winningham II, Bruno Di Giulian, Willis Holcombe, David Lieberman, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., BFC Financial Corporation, and BB&T Corporation.  The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care, good faith and loyalty by causing or permitting BBX Capital to sell BankAtlantic.  The complaint further alleges that BBX Capital, BFC and BB&T aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, including an injunction against the proposed transaction between BBX Capital and BB&T, as well as seeking damages.  As a consequence of the consummation of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T much of the complaint was rendered moot.  On June 26, 2013, the case was dismissed without prejudice.

New Jersey Tax Sales Certificates Antitrust Litigation

On December 21, 2012, plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in an existing purported class action filed in Federal District Court in New Jersey adding BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAM, among others as defendants.  BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax were served with the complaint January 8, 2013.  The class action complaint is brought on behalf of a class defined as “all persons who owned real property in the State of New Jersey and who had a Tax Certificate issued with respect to their property that was purchased by a Defendant during the Class Period at a public auction in the State of New Jersey at an interest rate above 0%.”  Plaintiffs allege that beginning in January 1998 and at least through February 2009, the Defendants were part of a statewide conspiracy to manipulate interest rates associated with tax certificates sold at public auction from at least January 1, 1998, through February 28, 2009. During this period, Fidelity Tax was a subsidiary of BankAtlantic.  Fidelity Tax was contributed to CAM in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic in the BB&T Transaction.  BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2013 and on October 23, 2013, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the Amended Complaint with prejudice as to certain claims, but without prejudice as to plaintiffs’ main antitrust claim.  Plaintiffs’ counsel has indicated that plaintiffs intend to refile an amended complaint.  BBX Capital believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.

Notes receivable, net	$	471,859	487,110
Allowance as a % of notes receivable		13%	12%

The table above includes notes receivable deemed to have been acquired by BFC, indirectly through Woodbridge, in connection with Woodbridge’s November 2009 acquisition of approximately 7.4 million additional shares of Bluegreen’s Common Stock, which resulted in BFC, indirectly through Woodbridge, holding a controlling interest in Bluegreen. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality”, BFC elected to recognize interest income on these notes receivable using the expected cash flows method. BFC treated expected prepayments consistently in determining cash flows expected to be collected, such that the non-accretable difference was not affected and the difference between actual prepayments and expected prepayments will not affect the non-accretable difference.  The assumption for prepayment rates was derived from Bluegreen’s historical performance information for its off-balance sheet securitizations and ranges from 4% to 9%.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding contractual unpaid principal balance of the acquired notes was $120.7 million and $150.1 million, respectively. During June 2013, management revised its assumptions used in the calculation of cash flows expected to be collected on the acquired notes resulting in a $5.7 million impairment charge which was recorded as a valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the acquired notes was $106.8 million (net of a valuation allowance of $5.7 million) and $135.4 million, respectively.

The carrying amount of the acquired notes is included in the balance sheet amounts of notes receivable at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The following is a reconciliation of accretable yield as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

		For the Nine	For the Twelve
		Months Ended	Months Ended
Accretable Yield		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
Balance, beginning of period	$	54,170	74,526
Accretion		(13,341)	(22,168)
Reclassification (to) from nonaccretable yield		(6,068)	1,812
Balance, end of  period	$	34,761	54,170

The weighted-average interest rate on Bluegreen’s notes receivable was 15.7% and15.5% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  All of Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable bear interest at fixed rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on loans secured by VOIs was 15.8% and 15.6%  as ofSeptember 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The majority of Bluegreen’s notes receivable secured by homesites bear interest at variable rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on notes receivable secured by homesites was 7.7% as ofboth September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Bluegreen’s notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses.  Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all of Bluegreen’s delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than three months contractually past due and not resumed until such loans are less than three months past due.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $10.9million and $12.1million, respectively, of the VOI notes receivable were more than three months past due, and accordingly, consistent with Bluegreen’s policy, were not accruing interest income.Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable that are approximately 120 days past due are generally charged off as uncollectible.

Credit Quality for Financial Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Bluegreen holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables. In estimating future credit losses, Bluegreen does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a combination of factors, including a static pool analysis, the aging of the respective receivables, current default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, and the FICO® scores of the borrowers at the time of origination.

The table below sets forth the activity in Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses (including homesite notes receivable) during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

		September 30,
		2013	2012
Balance, beginning of period	$	63,374	73,260
Provision for credit losses		29,850	19,502
Write-offs of uncollectible receivables		(19,944)	(26,679)
Balance, end of period	$	73,280	66,083

The following table shows the delinquency status of Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

		September 30,	December 31,
		2013	2012
Current	$	527,161	534,080
31-60 days		6,357	7,843
61-90 days		4,680	6,181
> 90 days (1) (2)		10,902	12,124
Purchase accounting adjustments		(8,188)	(14,736)
Total	$	540,912	545,492

(1) Includes $5.5 million as of bothSeptember 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 relating to VOI notes receivable that, as of such date, had been defaulted but the related VOI note receivable balance had not yet been charged off in accordance with the provisions of certain of Bluegreen's receivable-backed notes payable transactions.  These VOI notes receivable have been reflected in the allowance for credit loss.

(2) Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable that areapproximately 120 days past due are generally charged off as uncollectible and once charged off are not included in the table.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

13.    Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment. 

The information provided for segment reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management of the Company and its subsidiaries. The presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in the segments’ operating results would, in management's view, likely not be impacted.

As a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic during July 2012 and Safflower’s acquisition of Benihana during August 2012, BFC reorganized its reportable segments during the fourth quarter of 2012 to better align its segments with its and its subsidiaries’ operations.  Since the segment reorganization, the Company has reportedits resultsthrough four segments:  Real Estate Operations; Bluegreen Resorts; FAR;and BBX.  Prior to the segment reorganization,  the Company also had a BFC Activities reporting segment, which consisted of BFC’s corporate overhead and selling, general and administrative expenses, including the expenses of Woodbridge unrelated to Bluegreen and other real estate related activities, BFC’s investment in Benihana and certain other investments and subsidiaries. During the fourth quarter of 2012, BFC’s management modified its measure of segment operating profit to exclude the items that were previously classified within the BFC Activities segment.  Accordingly, the Company’s segment disclosure has been adjusted to reflect the revised presentation and the results previously included within BFC Activities have been reclassified to unallocated corporate overhead for all periods presented and are included in the reconciliation of segment amounts to the consolidated amounts.

Discontinued operations include the results of Bluegreen Communities (which previously was a separate reporting segment), BankAtlantic’s community banking, investment, capital services and tax certificate reporting units (which previously comprised a portion of the BankAtlantic segment, which was a separate reporting segment) and Cypress Creek Holdings (which was previously part of the Real Estate Operations reporting segment). See Note 3for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

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:

Real Estate Operations

The Company’s Real Estate Operations segment consists of Core Communities, which suspended activities in December 2010, and Carolina Oak, which suspended its homebuilding activities in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Bluegreen Resorts

Bluegreen Resorts, the operating segment relating to Bluegreen’s continuing operations, markets, sells and manages real estate-based VOIs in resorts generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, which were developed or acquired by Bluegreen or are owned by others in which case Bluegreen Resorts earns fees for providing these services.  Bluegreen Resorts also earns fees related to its provision of property association management services, mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen Resorts provides financing to credit-qualified individual purchasers of VOIs, which provides significant interest income.

FAR

BBX Capital holds 5% of the outstanding preferred membership interests in FAR as well as the right to own 100% of FAR following such time, if any, as BB&T, which holds 95% of FAR’s outstanding preferred membership interests, has recovered $285 million preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 2.00% per annum on any unpaid preference amount. Since its inception (August 1, 2012), FAR’s activities have primarily consisted of managing its portfolio of assets with a view towards liquidating the assets to provide sufficient funds to result in the full recovery of the preference amount and to maximize the residual value of the assets. FAR’s activities also include oversight of third party servicers and the liquidation of tax certificates, loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure.

BBX

The BBX segment includes the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of CAM and BBX Partners, Inc., BBX Capital’s wholly owned asset workout subsidiary (“BBX Partners”).  BBX Partners’ primary assets are non-performing commercial loans and real estate owned. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, CAM’s and BBX Partners’ activities were primarily associated with their loans receivable, real estate properties and a portfolio of previously charged-off loans as well as pursuing equity and debt investment opportunities in real estate and middle market operating businesses.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, equity earnings from BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge were also included in the BBX segment.  As both BBX Capital and Woodbridge are consolidated into BFC’s financial statements, equity earnings from BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge were eliminated in consolidation.

BBX’s activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of those related to BankAtlantic’s Commercial Lending reporting unit and BBX’s Partners’ assets. The activities related to the commercial loan portfolios included renewing, modifying, collecting, extending, refinancing and making protective advances on these loans, as well as managing and liquidating real estate properties acquired through foreclosure.

The table below sets forth the Company’s segment information as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2013(in thousands):

Shares Subject To Mandatory Redemption

Shares Subject To Mandatory Redemption [Abstract]

Shares Subject To Mandatory Redemption

11.    Shares Subject to Mandatory Redemption

On June 7, 2004, the Company’s board of directors designated 15,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock. On June 21, 2004, the Company sold all 15,000 shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to an investor group in a private offering.

The Company’s 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share. The shares of 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the Company, from time to time, at redemption prices ranging from $1,010 per share for the twelve month period ending April 29, 2014 to $1,000 per share for the twelve month period ending April 29, 2016.  The 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock’s liquidation preference is equal to its stated value of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or an amount equal to the applicable redemption price in a voluntary liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as provided by Florida law, and are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s board of directors (and previously also upon the written non-objection of the Federal Reserve), cumulative quarterly cash dividends on each such share at a rate per annum of 5% of the stated value from the date of issuance. From the second quarter of 2004 through the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid quarterly dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock of $187,500. The Company determined not to seek the Federal Reserve’s written non-objection to the dividend payment for the fourth quarter of 2011 or the first or second quarters of 2012 and, therefore, the Company accrued unpaid dividend paymentstotaling approximately $563,000 as of June 30, 2012.   As a result of BBX Capital’s sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T on July 31, 2012, BFC was released from registration as a savings and loan holding company, effective August 31, 2012, and therefore is no longer subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve or otherwise as a savings and loan holding company.  Following such deregistration, the unpaid dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock for the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first and second quarters of 2012 and accrued interest totaling $563,000 were paid by BFC.  BFC has subsequently paid regular quarterly cash dividends of $187,500 on its 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock.  As a result of the re-classification of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to a liability in connection with the Second Amendment described below, the dividends on the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock paid since the second quarter of 2012 plus accretable interest is included as interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

On December 17, 2008, certain of the previously designated relative rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were amended (the “First Amendment”) to eliminate the right of the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock to convert their shares into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The First Amendment also required the Company to redeem shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock with the net proceeds received in the event the Company sold any shares of Benihana’s stock that it owned and entitled the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, in the event the Company defaulted on its dividend payment obligation with respect to such stock, to receive directly from Benihana the payments due (collectively, the “Benihana Stock Provisions”).

Based on an analysis of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock after giving effect to the First Amendment, the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was classified in the mezzanine category at its fair value at the effective date of the First Amendment of approximately $11.0 million. The remaining amount (which was approximately $4.0 million as of the date of the First Amendment) is recorded in additional paid in capital in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was calculated using an income approach by discounting estimated cash flows at a market discount rate.

On April 4, 2012, the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were further amended (the “Second Amendment”).  Pursuant to the Second Amendment, to the extent the shares are not earlier redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption right described above, the Company will be required to redeem 5,000 shares of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock during each of the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 for an aggregate annual redemption price of $5.0 million, or $1,000 per share. The Second Amendment also provides that, subject to certain limitations, in the event that the Company defaults on its dividend or mandatory redemption obligations, the holders of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive from the Company shares of common stock of Bluegreen owned by the Company having, in the aggregate, a fair market value equal to the amount of the dividend or redemption payment, as the case may be, to the extent not timely paid. In consideration therefor, the Second Amendment eliminated the Benihana Stock Provisions. As of the date of this filing, no agreement has been reached between BFC and the holders of its 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock regarding which, if any, assets of BFC are to be substituted for the shares of Bluegreen’s common stock in the event of a dividend or redemption payment default.

Under applicable accounting guidance, as a result of the Second Amendment and the mandatory redemption provision contained therein, the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock was re-classified as a liability during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 at its estimated fair value of approximately $11.5 million.   The fair value was determined by an independent third party and was based on a cash flow model using a discount rate equivalent to benchmark bond ratings.  The $0.5 million difference between the previously stated fair value of $11.0 million as of March 31, 2012 and the June 30, 2012 estimated fair value of $11.5 million was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition. Included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operationsfor the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is interest recognized of approximately $941,000, of which $563,000 was paid as dividends.
