BLUEGREEN VACATIONS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation

Bluegreen Vacations Corporation is referred to in this report together with its consolidated subsidiaries as “Bluegreen Vacations,” “Bluegreen,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”. Bluegreen has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other future interim or annual periods. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2018.

Initial Public Offering

The initial public offering of our common stock was closed on November 17, 2017.  In the initial public offering, we sold 3,736,723 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. We received net proceeds of approximately $47.3 million from our sale of shares in the initial public offering.  In addition, BBX Capital Corporation (NYSE: BBX) (“BBX Capital”), our sole shareholder prior to the initial public offering, as selling shareholder, sold 3,736,722 shares of our common stock in the initial public offering, including 974,797 shares sold on December 5, 2017 pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by BBX Capital. BBX Capital continues to own 90% of our outstanding common stock. Our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on November 17, 2017 under the symbol “BXG.”  In connection with the initial public offering, we effected a 709,977-for-1 stock split. All share and per share amounts herein reflect, or are calculated after giving effect to, such stock split.

Our Business

We are a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and manages resorts in leisure and urban destinations. Our resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 24 Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in our Vacation Club have the right to use a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). Our Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, among others. Through our points-based system, the approximately 216,000 owners in our Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of our resorts and have access to approximately 11,100 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. We have a robust sales and marketing platform supported by exclusive marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands, such as Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. These marketing relationships drive sales within our core demographic.

Prior to 2009, our vacation ownership business consisted solely of the sale of VOIs in resorts that we developed or acquired (“developed VOI sales”). While we continue to conduct such sales and development activities, we now also derive a significant portion of our revenue from our capital-light business model, which utilizes our expertise and infrastructure to generate both VOI sales and recurring revenue from third parties without the significant capital investment generally associated with the development and acquisition of resorts. Our capital-light business activities include sales of VOIs owned by third-party developers pursuant to which we are paid a commission (“fee-based sales”) and sales of VOIs that we purchase

9

under just-in-time (“JIT”) arrangements with third-party developers or from secondary market sources. In addition, we provide resorts and resort developers with other fee-based services, including resort management, mortgage servicing, title services and construction management. We also offer financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest, including Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC (a joint venture in which we are deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on our 51% equity interest, our active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and our majority voting control of its management committee, (“Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations”) and variable interest entities (sometimes referred to herein as “VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Consolidations (Topic 810). We do not consolidate the statutory business trusts formed by us to issue trust preferred securities as these entities represent VIEs in which we are not the primary beneficiary. The statutory business trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 

Revenue Recognition

Sales of VOIs.  Revenue is recognized for sales of VOIs after control of the VOI is deemed transferred to the customer, which is when the legal rescission period has expired on a binding executed VOI sales agreement and the collectability of the note receivable from the buyer, if any, is reasonably assured.  Transfer of control of the VOI to the buyer is deemed to occur when the legal rescission period expires as the risk and rewards associated with VOI ownership are transferred to the buyer at that time.  We record customer deposits from contracts within the legal rescission period in Restricted cash and Accrued liabilities and other in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as such amounts are refundable until the legal rescission period has expired.  In cases where construction and development of our developed resorts has not been substantially completed, we defer all of the revenues and associated expenses for the sales of VOIs until construction is substantially complete and the resort may be occupied.

We generally, offer qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs.  The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate, is fully amortizing in equal installments and may be prepaid without penalty.  For sales of VOIs for which we provide financing, we have reduced the transaction price for expected loan losses which we consider to be variable consideration. Our estimates of the variable considerationare based on the results of our static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable. Our policies regarding the estimation of variable consideration on our notes receivable are discussed in further detail under “Notes Receivable” below. VOI Sales where no financing was provided do not have any material significant payment terms. 

Under timeshare accounting rules, rental operations, including accommodations provided through the use of our sampler program, are accounted for as incidental operations whereby incremental carrying costs in excess of incremental revenues are expensed as incurred. During each of the periods presented, our aggregate rental revenue and sampler revenue was less than the aggregate carrying cost of our VOI inventory.  Accordingly, we recorded such revenue as a reduction to the carrying cost of VOI inventory which is included in Cost of other fee-based services in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for each period.

Fee-based sales commission revenue.  Fee-based sales commission revenue is recognized when a sales transaction with a VOI purchaser is consummated in accordance with the terms of the fee-based sales agreement with the third-party developer, it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur and the related consumer rescission period has expired.

10

Other fee-based services revenue and cost reimbursements.  Revenue in connection with our other fee-based services (which are described below) is recognized as follows:

· Resort and club management revenue and related cost reimbursements are recognized as services are rendered.  These services provided to the resort homeowner associations (“HOAs”) are comprised of day-to-day services to operate the resort, including management services and certain accounting and administrative functions.  Management services provided to the Vacation Club include managing the reservation system and providing owner, billing and collection services.  Our management contracts are typically structured as cost-plus with an initial term of three years and automatic one-year renewals. We believe these services to be a series of distinct goods and services to be accounted for as a single performance obligation over time and recognize revenue as the customer receives the benefits of our services.  We allocate variable consideration to the distinct good or service within the series, such that revenue from management fees and cost reimbursements is recognized in each period as the uncertainty with respect to such variable consideration is resolved.

· Resort title fee revenue is recognized when escrow amounts are released and title documents are completed.

· Rental revenues are recognized on a daily basis which is consistent with the period for which the customer benefits from such service.Revenue from the sampler program is typically recognized within a year from sale as guests complete stays at the resorts.

· Mortgage servicing revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.

Our cost of other fee-based services consists of the costs associated with the various activities described above, as well as developer subsidies and maintenance fees on our unsold VOIs.

Interest Income.  We provide financing for a significant portion of sales of our owned VOIs.  We recognize interest income from financing VOI sales on the accrual method as earned based on the outstanding principal balance, interest rate and terms stated in each individual financing agreement.  See “Notes Receivable” below for further discussion of the policies applicable to our VOI notes receivable.

(2) Included in our resort operations and club management segment described in Note 11.

Notes Receivable

Our notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days contractually past due and is not resumed until such loans are less than 90 days past due.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $17.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of our VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, consistent with our policy, were not accruing interest income.  After 120 days, our VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan losses.

To the extent we determine that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized may occur, we record an estimate of variable consideration as a reduction to the transaction price of the sales of VOIs until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.  Our estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of our static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectibles for each period’s sales over the entire life of the notes. We also consider whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions, as well as variations in underwriting standards. We review our estimate of variable consideration on at least a quarterly basis.  Loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related notes receivable.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)” as subsequently amended (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 replaced numerous requirements in GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.  The new standard specifies how and when to recognize revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle-based framework and requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective method and accordingly, prior period results have been adjusted to apply the new standard, as shown below. 

We have elected to use the following practical expedients in connection with our adoption of ASU 2014-09: 

· We utilize the transaction price upon completion of the contract for certain contracts with customers.

· We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or unsatisfied performance obligations or unsatisfied promises to transfer a distinct good or service that forms a part of a single performance obligation recognized over time.  See above for further description of variable consideration identified in our contracts with customers.

· We expense all marketing and sales costs as they are incurred.

· We exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on a specified transaction concurrent with the closing thereof and are collected by us from a customer.

We do not believe that the use of these practical expedients materially impacted the unaudited consolidated financial statements and disclosures herein.

12

The following represents the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share data):

On March 7, 2018, we filed our 2017 Annual Report which included in Item 8 – Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements the expected impacts to the reported results of the retrospective adjustments to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.  Subsequent to the March 7, 2018 filing date, we revised our calculation of the expected impact of the retrospective adoption of this standard, and the amounts included in the above tables reflect these revisions.  Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition did not impact our consolidated cash flow statements. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which is intended to clarify the determination of whether a company has acquired or sold a business.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidations, and the standard aims to help entities determine whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses.  The standard is expected to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset purchases instead of business combinations.  The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the prospective transition method.  The adoption of this standard resulted in our acquisition of Éilan Hotel & Spa in April 2018 being accounted for as an asset acquisition and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized as part of the assets acquired.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (“ASU 2018-05”). ASU 2018-05 amended ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), for the guidance previously provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), related to the application of ASC 740 in the reporting period in which the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”) was signed into law. Our adoption of ASU 2018-05 as of March 31, 2018 had no impact on our accounting for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the accounting for income taxes for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to our operations which have not been adopted as of September 30, 2018: 

“ASU 2016-02” – “Leases (Topic 842)”, as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11. This standard will require assets and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet of a lessee for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets with terms of more than 12 months. For income statement purposes, the standard retained a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on largely similar criteria to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. This standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing leases.

This standard, which will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, permits two methods of adoption: a modified retrospective transition method or an optional transition method. The modified retrospective transition method applies the standard’s transition guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented in an entity’s financial statements, which results in financial statements for current periods that are comparable to the financial statements for the prior periods presented. The optional transition method applies the transition guidance on the date of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under this transition method, comparable periods in an entity’s financial statements in the year of adoption would continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, including the disclosures of Topic 840.

We expect that the implementation of this new standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as we had aggregate future minimum lease payments of $40.2 million at September 30, 2018 under our current non-cancelable lease agreements with various expirations dates between 2018 and 2056.We anticipate the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to these leases on our consolidated balance sheets.

We anticipate adopting the standard on January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method and, accordingly, will not apply the new guidance in comparable periods presented in our financial statements in the year of adoption. We anticipate electing certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the standard, including the package of practical expedients which would allow us to not have to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification,

15

classification, and initial direct costs.We also expect to make accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset (i) to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases which qualify with a term of twelve months or less and (ii) to not separate non-lease components from lease components. If the election is made to not separate non-lease components from lease components,  each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with that lease component will instead be accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.

We are currently in the process of evaluating our existing lease portfolio, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for leases under this standard. Other significant implementation matters include assessing the impact on our internal control over financial reporting and documenting and implementing new processes for accounting for our lease agreements. 

ASU No. 2016-13 – “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and will expand the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for loan losses. In addition, the standard will require entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning on January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

3.  Notes Receivable

The table below provides information relating to our notes receivable and our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Notes receivable secured by VOIs:
VOI notes receivable - non-securitized	$	167,717	$	184,971
VOI notes receivable - securitized		399,080		364,349
		566,797		549,320
Allowance for loan losses - non-securitized		(37,341)		(38,497)
Allowance for loan losses - securitized		(90,859)		(85,161)
VOI notes receivable, net	$	438,597	$	425,662
Allowance as a % of VOI notes receivable		23%		23%
Notes receivable secured by homesites: (1)
Homesite notes receivable		986		1,329
Allowance for loan losses		(99)		(133)
Homesite notes receivable, net	$	887	$	1,196
Allowance as a % of homesite notes receivable		10%		10%
Total notes receivable:
Gross notes receivable	$	567,783	$	550,649
Allowance for loan losses		(128,299)		(123,791)
Notes receivable, net	$	439,484	$	426,858
Allowance as a % of gross notes receivable		23%		22%

(1) Notes receivable secured by homesites were originated through a business, substantially all the assets of which were sold by us in 2012.

The weighted-average interest rate on our notes receivable was 15.1% and 15.3% at September 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, respectively.  All of our VOI loans bear interest at fixed rates.  The weighted-average interest rate charged on our notes receivable secured by VOIs was 15.2% and 15.3% at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Credit Quality for Financed Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The activity in our allowance for loan losses (including with respect to our homesite notes receivable) was as follows (in thousands):

	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
		2018		2017
Balance, beginning of period	$	123,791	$	120,270
Provision for loan losses		35,866		32,066
Less: Write-offs of uncollectible receivables		(31,358)		(31,581)
Balance, end of period	$	128,299	$	120,755

We monitor the credit quality of our receivables on an ongoing basis.  We hold large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assess uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties.  In estimatingfuture credit losses, management does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates our VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the age  of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers.

The percentage of gross notes receivable outstanding by FICO score at origination, were as follows:

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
FICO Score
700+	56.00	%	54.00	%
600-699	40.00		41.00
<600	3.00		3.00
No Score (1)	1.00		2.00
Total	100.00	%	100.00	%

⁽¹⁾ VOI notes receivable without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers. 

The following table shows the delinquency status of our VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Current	$	539,836	$	525,482
31-60 days		5,462		6,088
61-90 days		4,531		4,897
Over 91 days (1)		16,968		12,853
Total	$	566,797	$	549,320

(1) Includes $11.6 million and $7.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, related to VOI notes receivable that, as of such date, had defaulted, but the related VOI note receivable balance had not yet been charged off in accordance with the provisions of certain of our receivable-backed notes payable transactions. These VOI notes receivable have been reflected in the allowance for loan losses.

4.  Variable Interest Entities

We sell VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to us and are designed to provide liquidity for us and to transfer the economic risks and 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. We service the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties based on market conditions at the time of the securitization.

In these securitizations, we generally retain a portion of the securities and continue to service the securitized notes receivable. Under these arrangements, the cash payments received from obligors on the receivables sold are generally applied monthly to pay fees to service providers, make interest and principal payments to investors, and fund required reserves, if any, with the remaining balance of such cash retained by us; however, to the extent the portfolio of receivables fails to satisfy specified performance criteria (as may occur due to, among other things, an increase in default rates or credit loss severity) or other trigger events occur, the funds received from obligors are required to be distributed on an accelerated basis to investors. Depending on the circumstances and the transaction, the application of the accelerated payment formula may be permanent or temporary until the trigger event is cured. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all material terms under our securitization transactions, and no trigger events had occurred.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, we analyze our variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, guarantees, and equity investments, todetermine if an entity in which we have a variable interest is a VIE. The analysis includes a review of both quantitative and qualitative factors.We base our quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity.  We base our qualitative analysis on the structure of the entity,including our decision-making ability and authority with respect to the entity, and relevant financial agreements. We alsouse a qualitative analysis to determine if we must consolidate a VIE as the primary beneficiary. In accordance with applicableaccounting guidance, we have determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary and,therefore, we consolidate the entities into our financial statements.

Under the terms of certain of our VOI note sales, we have the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes for new notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest.  Our voluntary repurchases and substitutions of defaulted notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss relating to our non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

The assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs are as follows (in thousands):

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Restricted cash	$	17,081	$	19,488
Securitized notes receivable, net		308,221		279,188
Receivable backed notes payable - non-recourse		335,680		336,421

The restricted cash and the securitized notes receivable balances disclosed in the table above are restricted to satisfy obligations of the VIEs.

18

5.  Inventory

Our VOI inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Completed VOI units	$	232,205	$	194,503
Construction-in-progress		20,965		22,334
Real estate held for future development		72,362		64,454
Total	$	325,532	$	281,291

The interest expense reflected in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income is net of capitalized interest. Interest capitalized to VOI inventory was $1.0 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

6.  Debt

Lines-of-Credit and Notes Payable

We have outstanding borrowings with various financial institutions and other lenders.  Financial data related to our lines of credit and notes payable (other than receivable-backed notes payable, which are discussed below) as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Pacific Western Term Loan.  We had a non-revolving term loan (the “Pacific Western Term Loan”) with Pacific Western Bank, as successor-by-merger to CapitalSource Bank, secured by unsold inventory and undeveloped land at the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we repaid in full the then outstanding balance of the Pacific Western Term Loan. 

NBA Line of Credit.  Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations had a revolving line of credit (the “NBA Line of Credit”) with the National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”) with a borrowing limit of $20.0 million. The NBA Line of Credit provided for a revolving advance period expiring in September 2020 and maturity in March 2025 and was secured by unsold inventory and a building under construction at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ The Cliffs at Long Creek Resort. Interest payments were paid monthly. Principal payments were effected through release payments upon sales of VOIs in The Cliffs at Long Creek Resort that served as collateral for the NBA Line of Credit, subject to mandatory principal reductions. During the quarter ended September 30,

19

2018, we repaid in full the then outstanding balance of the NBA Line of Credit. In connection with such repayment, availability under the NBA Receivables Facility described below was increased by $20.0 million and there is no further availability under this line.

NBA Éilan Loan.  On April 17, 2018, we purchased the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas for approximately $34.3 million.  In connection with the acquisition, we entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan (the “NBA Éilan Loan”) with NBA.  The NBA Éilan Loan provides for advances of up to $27.5 million, $24.3 million of which was used to fund the acquisition of the resort and up to an additional $3.2 million which may be drawn upon to fund certain future improvement costs over a 12-month advance period. Principal payments will be effected through release payments from sales of VOIs at Éilan Hotel & Spa that serve as collateral for the NBA Éilan Loan, subject to a minimum amortization schedule, with the remaining balance due at maturity in April 2023. Borrowings under the NBA Éilan Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a floor of 4.75%.  As of September 30, 2018, there was $24.3 million outstanding on the NBA Éilan Loan.

Except as described above, there were no new debt issuances or significant changes related to the above listed lines-of-credit or notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our other lines-of-credit and notes payable listed above.

Liberty Bank Facility.  We have maintained a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Liberty Bank Facility”) with Liberty Bank which provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the Liberty Bank Facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. On March 12, 2018, the Liberty Bank Facility was amended and restated to extend the revolving credit period from March 2018 to March 2020, extend the maturity date from November 2020 until March 2023, and amend the interest rate on borrowings as described below. Subject to its terms and conditions, the Liberty Bank Facility provides for advances of (i) 85% of the unpaid principal balance of Qualified Timeshare Loans assigned to agent, and (ii) 60% of the unpaid principal balance of Non-Conforming Timeshare Loans assigned to agent, during the revolving credit period of the facility. Maximum permitted outstanding borrowings under the Liberty Bank Facility are $50.0 million, subject to the terms of the facility. Through March 31, 2018, borrowings under the Liberty Bank Facility bore interest at the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 0.50% per annum, subject to a 4.00% floor.  Pursuant to the March 2018 amendment to the Liberty Bank Facility, effective April 1, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the WSJ Prime Rate, subject to a 4.00% floor. Principal and interest due under the Liberty Bank Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

NBA Receivables Facility.   Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations has a revolving VOI hypothecation facility (the “NBA Receivables Facility”) with National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”). The NBA Receivables Facility provides for advances at a rate of 85% on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to eligible collateral and specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period expiring in September 2020 and allows for maximum borrowings of up to $70.0 million (inclusive of the $20.0 million increase in availability described above). The maturity date for the facility is March 2025.  The interest rate applicable to future borrowings under the NBA Receivables Facility is equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75% (with an interest rate floor of 3.50%). All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility, with the remaining balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

Pacific Western Facility.  We have a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Pacific Western Facility”) with Pacific Western Bank, which provides for advances on eligible VOI notes receivable pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. Maximum outstanding borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are $40.0 million, subject to eligible collateral and customary terms and conditions. On August 15, 2018, the Pacific Western Facility was amended to extend the revolving advance period from September 2018 to September 2021 and the maturity date from September 2021 until September 2024 (in each case, subject to an additional 12-month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank). Eligible “A” VOI notes receivable that meet certain eligibility and FICO score requirements, which we believe are typically consistent with loans originated under our current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The Pacific Western Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” VOI notes receivable (which have less stringent FICO score requirements) to be funded at a 53% advance rate. In addition, pursuant to the August 2018 amendment, effective September 21, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the Pacific Western Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 3.00%; provided, however, that a portion of the borrowings, to the extent such borrowings are in excess of established debt minimums, will bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75%. Until September 21, 2018, borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility continued to bear interest at the then prevailing interest rates under the facility, which ranged from 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% to 4.50%.  Principal repayments and interest on borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged VOI notes receivable, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving advance period, with the remaining outstanding balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

Quorum Purchase Facility.   We and Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations have a VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”), pursuant to which Quorum has agreed to purchase eligible VOI notes receivable in an amount of up to an aggregate $50.0 million purchase price, subject to certain conditions precedent and other terms of the facility. On April 6, 2018, the Quorum Purchase Facility was amended to extend the revolving purchase period from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2020, and provide for a fixed interest rate of 4.95% per annum on advances made through September 30, 2018. The interest rate on advances made after September 30, 2018 will be set at the time of funding based on rates mutually agreed upon by all parties. The amendment also reduced the loan purchase fee applicable to advances from 0.50% to 0.25% and extended the maturity of the Quorum Purchase Facility from December 2030 to December 2032.Of the amounts outstanding under the Quorum Purchase Facility at September 30, 2018, $5.0 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.75%,  $29.9 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.95%,  $2.7 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.0%, and $2.1 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.50%. The Quorum

21

Purchase Facility provides for an 85% advance rate on eligible receivables sold under the facility, however, Quorum can modify this advance rate on future purchases subject to the terms and conditions of the Quorum Purchase Facility. Eligibility requirements for VOI notes receivable sold include, among others, that the obligors under the VOI notes receivable sold be members of Quorum at the time of the note sale. Subject to performance of the collateral, we or Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, as applicable, will receive any excess cash flows generated by the VOI notes receivable transferred to Quorum under the facility (excess meaning after payment of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI notes receivable. While ownership of the VOI notes receivable included in the Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivable is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The facility is nonrecourse.

See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our other receivable-backed notes payable facilities listed above.

2018-A Term Securitization.  In October 2018, we completed the 2018-ATerm Securitization,  a private offering and sale of approximately $117.7 million of investment-grade, VOI receivable-backed notes (the "Notes"), including approximately  $49.8 million of Class A Notes, approximately $33.1 million of Class B Notes and approximately $34.8 million of Class C Notes with interest rates of 3.77%,  3.95% and 4.44%, respectively, which blends to an overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.02%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 87.2%. The Notes mature in February 2034. KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyCM”) and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint bookrunners and co-lead managers and were the initial purchasers of the Notes. KeyCM also acted as structuring agent for the transaction.

The amount of the VOInotes receivables sold or to be sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2018-A (the “Trust”) is approximately $135.0 million, approximately $109.0 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $26.0 million of which is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to February 25, 2019. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $117.7 million. A portion of the proceeds received at the closing was used to: repay KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main (“DZ Bank”) approximately $49.2 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under our existing purchase facility with KeyBank and DZ Bank (the "KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $20.4 million under our existing Liberty Bank Facility; repay Pacific Western Bank approximately $7.1 million under our existing Pacific Western Bank Facility; capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. The remainder of the proceeds from the 2018-A Term Securitization are expected to be used by us for general corporate purposes. As a result of the facility repayments described above, following the closing of the 2018-A Term Securitization, (i) there were no amounts outstanding under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $80.0 million on a revolving basis through December 31, 2019, (ii) there was approximately $19.1 million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50.0 million on a revolving basis through March 12, 2020, and (iii) there was approximately $9.6 million outstanding under the Pacific Western Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $40.0 million on a revolving basis through September 20, 2021, in each case, subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of each facility, respectively. Thus, subject to the foregoing approximately $76.7 million in the aggregate was available under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, Liberty Bank Facility and Pacific Western Facility as a result of the repayments.

Further, subject to performance of the collateral, we will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2018-A Term Securitization (meaning excess cash after payments of customary fees, interest, and principal under the 2018-A Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans.

While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2018-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOInotes receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction.

7.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

23

The carrying amounts of financial instruments included in the consolidated financial statements and their estimated fair values are as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2018				As of December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	195,439	$	195,439	$	197,337	$	197,337
Restricted cash		54,892		54,892		46,012		46,012
Notes receivable, net		439,484		542,000		426,858		525,000
Lines-of-credit, notes payable, and receivable-
backed notes payable		571,284		572,964		521,312		529,400
Junior subordinated debentures		71,147		93,000		70,384		88,500

Cash and cash equivalents.  The amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Restricted cash.  The amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for restricted cash approximate fair value.

Notes receivable, net.  The fair value of our 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.

Lines-of-credit, notes payable, and receivable-backed notes payable. The amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for our lines of credit, notes payable, and receivable-backed notes payable, approximate fair value for indebtedness that provides for variable interest rates.  The fair value of our 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.

Junior subordinated debentures. The fair value of our 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.

8.  Commitments and Contingencies

In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, we provide subsidies to certain HOAs to provide funds to operate and maintain vacation ownership properties in excess of assessments collected from owners of the VOIs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments related to such subsidies of $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  As of September 30, 2018, we were providing subsidies to ten HOAs and had $6.2 million accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date herein. As of December 31, 2017, we had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.

In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with a former executive in connection with his retirement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agreed to make payments totaling approximately $2.9 million through March 2019. As of September 30, 2018, $1.2 million remained payable under this agreement. Also, during the second half of 2017, we commenced an initiative designed to streamline our operations in certain areas to facilitate future growth. Such initiative resulted in $5.8 million of severance accrued as of December 31, 2017 and $0.4 million accrued as of September 30, 2018. Such amounts are included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets herein.  

In March 2018, our Compensation Committee approved in principle the material terms of an Executive Leadership Incentive Plan (the “ELIP”), which provides for the grant of cash-settled performance units (“Performance Units”) and cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to participants in the ELIP.  It is contemplated that each participant will be granted award opportunities representing a percentage of his or her base salary (the “Target LTI”).  In the case of certain of our executive officers, the award will be divided 30% to SARs and 70% to Performance Units.  For other participants, including certain of our senior vice presidents, certain vice presidents and certain other employees, the award will be 100% in Performance Units.

24

Performance Units will represent the right of the recipient to receive a cash payment based on the achievement of levels of EBITDA and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) during a two-year period.  SARs granted under the ELIP, upon exercise after vesting, will entitle the holder to a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess of the market price of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the SAR.  The SARs will vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant and have a five-year term. In March 2018, our Compensation Committee approved grants of 639,643 SARs at an exercise price of $19.72 per share to certain of our officers, as well as Performance Units to receive up to approximately $7.4 million in 2020, depending on actual results from the two years ending December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2018, we had $3.7 million accrued for the ELIP included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In the ordinary course of business, we become subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, sale, marketing, or financing of VOIs or our other business activities.  Additionally, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, we become involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions and various other parties, and we also receive individual consumer complaints, as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorneys General. We take these matters seriously and attempt to resolve any such issues as they arise. 

Reserves are accrued for matters in which management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe that the aggregate liability relating to known contingencies in excess of the aggregate amounts accrued will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual costs of resolving legal claims, including awards of damages, may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims and may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

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, management 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 their claim.

On August 24, 2016, Whitney Paxton and Jeff Reeser filed a lawsuit against Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (“BVU”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain of its employees, seeking to establish a class action of former and current employees of BVU and alleging violations of plaintiffs’ rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (the “FLSA”) and breach of contract. The lawsuit also claims that the defendants terminated plaintiff Whitney Paxton as retaliation for her complaints about alleged violations of the FLSA. The lawsuit seeks damages in the amount of the unpaid compensation owed to the plaintiffs. During July 2017, a magistrate judge entered a report and recommendation that the plaintiffs’ motion to conditionally certify collective action and facilitate notice to potential class members be granted with respect to certain employees and denied as to others. During September 2017, the judge accepted the recommendation and granted preliminary approval of class certification. Based on that conditional class certification, all potential class members were provided Consent Forms to opt-in to the lawsuit, which opt-in period has since expired, and a set number of opt-ins has been determined (approximately 80).  Class-wide discovery was subsequently served and plaintiffs filed a Motion for Protective Order which is pending. We intend to seek to compel 59 of the currently named opt-in plaintiffs to submit their respective claims to arbitration on an individual basis. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On September 22, 2017, Stephen Potje, Tamela Potje, Sharon Davis, Beafus Davis, Matthew Baldwin, Tammy Baldwin, Arnor Lee, Angela Lee, Gretchen Brown, Paul Brown, Jeremy Estrada, Emily Estrada, Michael Oliver, Carrie Oliver, Russell Walters, Elaine Walters, and Mike Ericson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against us which asserted claims for alleged violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and the Florida False Advertising Law. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged the making of false representations in connection with our sales of VOIs, including representations regarding the ability to use points for stays or other experiences with other vacation providers, the ability to cancel VOI purchases and receive a refund of the purchase price and the ability to roll over unused points, and that annual maintenance fees would not increase. The complaint sought to establish a class of consumers who, since the beginning of the applicable statute of limitations, purchased VOIs from us, had their annual maintenance fees relating to our VOIs increased, or were unable to roll over their unused points to the next calendar year. The plaintiffs sought damages in the amount alleged to have been improperly obtained by us, as well as any statutory enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and equitable and injunctive relief. On November 20, 2017, we moved to dismiss the complaint and, in response, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint dropping the claims relating to the Florida Deceptive

25

and Unfair Trade Practices Act and adding claims for fraud in the inducement and violation of the Florida Vacation Plan and Timesharing Act. On March 20, 2018, the plaintiffs withdrew their motion for class action certification and on March 23, 2018, the court ordered dismissal of the suit.  On April 24, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a new lawsuit against BVU, for substantially the same claims, but only on behalf of the 18 named individuals and not as a class action.  We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On January 4, 2018, Gordon Siu, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against BVU and Choice Hotels International, Inc. which asserted claims for alleged violations of California law that relates to the recording of telephone conversations with consumers. Plaintiff alleges that after staying at a Choice Hotels resort, defendants placed a telemarketing call to plaintiff to sell the Choice Hotels customer loyalty program and a vacation package at a Choice hotel via the Bluegreen Getaways vacation package program.  Plaintiff alleges that he was not timely informed that the phone conversation was being recorded and is seeking certification of a class comprised of other persons recorded on calls without their consent within one year before the filing of the original complaint.  After BVU moved to dismiss the complaint, plaintiff amended his complaint to dismiss one of the two causes of action in the original complaint on the basis that that particular statute only concerns land line phones. Plaintiff and Choice agreed to a confidential settlement and Choice has been dismissed from this lawsuit. Plaintiff seeks money damages and injunctive relief.  We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On May 3, 2018, Katja Anderson and George Galloway, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against us which asserted violations of the Telephone Consumer Practices Act. The plaintiffs claimed that they received multiple telemarketing calls in the spring of 2015 despite their requests not to be called. Plaintiffs sought certification of a class of individuals in the United States who received more than one telephone call made by us or on our behalf within a 12-month period; to a telephone number that was registered with the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days. Plaintiffs sought money damages, attorneys’ fees and a court order requiring us to cease all unsolicited telephone calling activities. We moved to dismiss the lawsuit and, on August 13, 2018, this case was dismissed without prejudice.

On June 28, 2018, Melissa S. Landon, Edward P. Landon, Shane Auxier and Mu Hpare, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company and BVU asserting claims for alleged violations of the Wisconsin Timeshare Act, Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal referral selling, and Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal attorney’s fee provisions. Plaintiffs allegations include that we failed to disclose the identity of the seller of real property at the beginning of its initial contact with the purchaser; that we misrepresented who the seller of the real property was; that we misrepresented the buyer’s right to cancel; that we included an illegal attorney’s fee provision in the sales document(s); that we offered an illegal “today only” incentive to purchase; and that we utilize an illegal referral selling program to induce the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class consisting of all persons who, in Wisconsin, purchased from us one or more VOIs within six years prior to the filing of this lawsuit. Plaintiffs seek statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

Commencing in 2015, it came to our attention that our collection efforts with respect to our VOI notes receivable were being impacted by a then emerging, industry-wide trend involving the receipt of  “cease and desist” letters from attorneys and timeshare exit companies purporting to represent certain VOI owners. Following receipt of these letters, we are unable to contact the owners unless allowed by law. We believe these attorneys and timeshare exit companies have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations and that such actions and our inability to contact the owners are a primary contributor to the increase in our annual default rates. Our average annual default rates have increased from 6.9% in 2015 to 8.4% in 2018. We also estimate that approximately 16.8% of the total delinquencies on our VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2018 related to VOI notes receivable subject to these letters. We have in a number of cases pursued, and we may in the future pursue, legal action against the VOI owners.

We have an exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides us with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through certain other means. As of September 30, 2018, we were selling vacation packages in 69 of Bass Pro’s stores.  We compensate Bass Pro based on VOI sales generated through the program. No compensation is paid to Bass Pro under the agreement on sales made at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ resorts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 14% and 15%, respectively, of our VOI sales volume. On October 9, 2017, Bass Pro advised us that it believed the amounts paid to it as VOI sales commissions should not have been adjusted for certain purchaser defaults. We previously had informed Bass Pro that the aggregate amount of such adjustments for defaults charged back to Bass Pro between January 2008 and

26

June 2017 totaled approximately $4.8 million. While we believed and continue to believe that these adjustments were appropriate and consistent with both the terms and the intent of the agreements with Bass Pro, in October 2017, in order to demonstrate our good faith, we paid the amount at issue to Bass Pro pending future resolution of the matter.We have continued to make payments to Bass Pro as we believe appropriate and consistent with the agreements, which continue to be adjusted for defaults and Bass Pro has accepted these payments as historically calculated. Subsequently, and again more recently, Bass Pro has raised issues regarding adjustments for defaults and requested additional information regarding the calculation of commissions payable to Bass Pro and other amounts payable under the agreements, including reimbursements paid to us, as well as regarding the operations at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. We do not believe that the issues raised by Bass Pro have impacted current operations under the marketing agreement or relative to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.  We have formally responded to Bass Pro with our view on these matters and intend toprovide Bass Pro with all appropriately requested information. Our agreements with Bass Pro provide that in the event of any dispute the CEOs of the companies will meet to work toward a resolution of the issues or disagreements between the parties. Accordingly, it is anticipated that such process will be followed in good faith and that the parties will appropriately resolve any issues. While we do not believe that any material additional amounts are due to Bass Pro as a result of these matters, our future results may be impacted by any change in the calculations utilized in connection with payments or reimbursements required under the agreements or if we are unable to resolve the issue.

9.  Income Taxes 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With certain exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014 for federal returns and 2012 for state returns. 

Our effective income tax rate was approximately 27% and 39% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. In addition to changes or limitations to certain tax deductions, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanently lowers the corporate tax rate to 21% from the previous maximum rate of 35%, effective for tax years commencing January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21%, we were required by GAAP to revalue our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the date of enactment and to account for the resulting tax effects in continuing operations in the reporting period of enactment.  We recorded a one-time, after tax benefit of approximately $47.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2017 based on the revaluation of our net deferred tax liability.  The impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may differ, possibly materially, from the provisional amounts recorded due to among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions made by us, and additional regulatory guidance that may be issued.  Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in SAB 118 and ASU 2018-05.  We expect to complete our analysis prior to the end of 2018.

Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon our current estimated annual rate.  Our 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 we operate.

Certain of our state filings are under routine examination. While there is no assurance as to the results of these audits, we do not currently anticipate any material adjustments in connection with these examinations.

We are party to an Agreement to Allocate Consolidated Income Tax Liability and Benefits with BBX Capital and its other subsidiaries pursuant to which, among other customary terms and conditions, the parties agreed to file consolidated federal tax returns.  Under the agreement, the parties calculate their respective income tax liabilities and attributes as if each of them was a separate filer.  If any tax attributes of one party to the agreement are used by another party to the agreement to offset such other party’s tax liability, the party providing the benefit will receive an amount for the tax benefits realized.  We paid BBX Capital or its affiliated entities $7.1 millionand $13.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $21.0 million and $39.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement.

As of September 30, 2018, we did not have any significant amounts accrued for interest and penalties or recorded for uncertain tax positions.

BBX Capital may be deemed to be controlled by Alan B. Levan, Chairman of BBX Capital, and John E. Abdo, Vice Chairman of BBX Capital. Together, Messrs. Levan and Abdo maybe deemed to beneficially own shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately  77% of BBX Capital’s total voting power.

In April 2015, pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries provided an $80.0 million loan to BBX Capital. Amounts outstanding on the loan bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum until July 2017 when the interest rate was reduced to 6% per annum. Payments of interest are required on a quarterly basis, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term. BBX Capital is permitted to prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time, and prepayments will be required, to the extent necessary, in order for us or our subsidiaries to remain in compliance with covenants under outstanding indebtedness. During both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, we recognized $1.2 million of interest income on the loan to BBX Capital.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $3.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of interest income on the loan to BBX Capital.

We paid or reimbursed BBX Capital or its affiliated entities $0.6 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.3 and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, for management advisory, risk management, administrative and other services. We accrued $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the services described above as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  BBX Capital or its affiliates paid or reimbursed us $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.1 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, for other shared services.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was due to us from BBX Capital for these services.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid $0.6 million for the acquisition of VOI inventory from a company whose President is the son of David L. Pontius, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

11.  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.

We report our results of operations through two reportable segments: (i) sales of VOIs and financing; and (ii) resort operations and club management.

Our sales of VOIs and financing segment includes our marketing and sales activities related to the VOIs that we own, including VOIs we acquire under just-in-time and secondary market inventory arrangements, our sale of VOIs through fee-based-service arrangements with third-party developers, our consumer financing activities in connection with sales of VOIs that we own, and our title services operations through a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Our resort operations and club management segment includes our provision of management services activities for our Vacation Club and for a majority of the HOAs of the resorts within our Vacation Club. In connection with those services, we also provide club reservation services, services to owners and billing and collections services to our Vacation Club and certain HOAs. Additionally, we generate revenue within our resort operations and club management segment from our Traveler Plus program, food and beverage and other retail operations, our rental services activities, and our management of construction activities for certain of our fee-based developer clients.

The information provided for segment reporting is obtained from internal reports utilized by management. The presentation and allocation of results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. Due to the nature of our business, assets are not allocated to a particular segment, and therefore management does not evaluate

28

the balance sheet by segment. 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.

· the ratings of third-party rating agencies, including the impact of any downgrade on our ability to obtain, renew or extend credit facilities, or otherwise raise funds;

· changes in our business model and marketing efforts, plans or strategies, which may cause marketing expenses to increase or adversely impact our revenue, operating results and financial condition, and such expenses as well as our investments in new and expanded sales offices may not achieve the desired benefits;

· the impact of the resale market for VOIs on our business, operating results and financial condition;

· risks associated with our relationships with third-party developers, including that third-party developers who provide VOIs to be sold by us pursuant to fee-based services or just-in-time arrangements may not provide VOIs when planned and that third-party developers may not fulfill their obligations to us or to the HOAs that maintain the resorts they developed;

· risks associated with legal and other regulatory proceedings, including claims of noncompliance with applicable regulations or for development related defects, and the impact they may have on our financial condition and operating results;

· risks related to potential business expansion that we may pursue, including that we may not pursue such expansion when or to the extent anticipated or at all, and any such expansion may involve significant costs and the incurrence of significant indebtedness and may not be successful;

· the updating of, and developments with respect to, technology, including the cost involved in updating our technology and the impact that any failure to keep pace with developments in technology could have on our operations or competitive position and our information technology expenditures may not result in the expected benefits;

· the impact on our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting of the adoption of new accounting standards, including the new standard for accounting for leases which we expect to adopt on January 1, 2019;

· the calculation of payments and reimbursements due under our marketing agreement with Bass Pro and the parties’ ability to resolve the issue;

· uncertainty associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the impact it may have on our future results; and

· the risk that the impact of the hurricanes may be materially different than estimated and we may not have achieved the assumed sales.

· other risks and uncertainties inherent to our business, the vacation ownership industry and the ownership of our common stock, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of, and elsewhere in, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Executive Overview

We are a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Our resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in our Vacation Club have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 24 Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in our Vacation Club have the right to use a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). Our Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, among others. Through our points-based system, the approximately 216,000 owners in our Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of our resorts and have access to approximately 11,100 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. We have a robust sales and marketing platform supported by exclusive marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. These marketing relationships drive sales within our core demographic.

VOI Sales and Financing

Our primary business is the marketing and sale of deeded VOIs, developed either by us or third parties. Customers who purchase these VOIs receive an annual allotment of points, which can be redeemed for stays at one of our resorts or at approximately 11,100 other hotels and resorts available through partnerships and exchange networks. Historically, VOI companies have funded the majority of the capital investment in connection with resort development with internal resources and acquisition and development financing. In 2009, we began selling VOIs on behalf of third-party developers and have successfully diversified from a business focused on capital-intensive resort development to a more flexible model with a balanced mix of developed and capital-light inventory. Our relationships with third-party developers enable us to generate fees from the sales and marketing of their VOIs without incurring the significant upfront capital investment generally associated with resort acquisition or development. While sales of acquired or developed inventory typically result in greater

35

Adjusted EBITDA contribution, fee-based sales typically require no initial investment or development financing risk. Both acquired or developed VOI sales and fee-based VOI sales drive recurring, incremental and long-term fee streams by adding owners to our Vacation Club and new resort management contracts. In conjunction with sales of VOIs owned by us, we also generate interest income by originating loans to qualified purchasers. Collateralized by the underlying VOIs, our loans are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans with a fixed interest rate ranging from approximately 12% to 18% per annum. As of September 30, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate on our VOI notes receivable was 15.2%. In addition, we earn fees for various other services, including title and escrow services in connection with the closing of VOI sales, and for mortgage servicing.

Resort Operations and Club Management

We enter into management agreements with the homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”) that maintain most of the resorts in our Vacation Club and earn fees for providing management services to those HOAs and our approximately 216,000 Vacation Club owners. These resort management services include oversight of housekeeping services, maintenance, and certain accounting and administration functions. Our management contracts yield highly predictable, recurring cash flows and do not have the traditional risks associated with hotel management contracts that are linked to daily rate or occupancy. Our management contracts are typically structured as “cost-plus,” with an initial term of three years and automatic one-year renewals. In connection with the management services providedto the Vacation Club, we manage the reservation system and provide owner, billing and collection services. We have not lost any of the 45 Club Resort management contracts. In addition to resort and club management services, we earn fees for various other services that produce recurring, predictable and long term-revenue, including construction management services for third-party developers.

Principal Components Affecting our Results of Operations

Principal Components of Revenues

Fee-Based Sales.  Represent sales of third-party VOIs where we are paid a commission.

JIT Sales.  Represent sales of VOIs acquired from third parties in close proximity to when we intend to sell such VOIs.

Secondary Market Sales.  Represent sales of VOIs acquired from HOAs or other owners, typically in connection with maintenance fee defaults. This inventory is generally purchased at a greater discount to retail price compared to developed VOIs and VOIs purchased by us for sale as part of our JIT sales activities.

Developed VOI Sales.  Represent sales of VOIs in resorts that we have developed or acquired (not including inventory acquired through JIT and secondary market arrangements).

Financing Revenue.  Represents revenue from the financing of VOI sales, which includes interest income and loan servicing fees. We also earn fees from providing mortgage servicing to certain third-party developers relating to VOIs sold by them.

Resort Operations and Club Management Revenue.  Represents recurring fees from managing the Vacation Club and transaction fees for certain resort amenities and certain member exchanges. We also earn recurring management fees under our management agreements with HOAs for day-to-day management services, including oversight of housekeeping services, maintenance, and certain accounting and administrative functions.

Other Fee-Based Services.  Represents revenue earned from various other services that produce recurring, predictable and long-term revenue, such as title services.

Principal Components of Costs and Expenses

Cost of VOIs Sold. Represents the cost at which our owned VOIs sold during the period were relieved from inventory. In addition to inventory from our developed VOI business, our owned VOIs also include those that were acquired by us under JIT and secondary market arrangements. Compared to the cost of our developed VOI inventory, VOIs acquired in connection with JIT arrangements typically have a relatively higher associated cost of sales as a percentage of sales, while those acquired in connection with secondary market arrangements typically have a lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales as secondary market inventory is generally obtained from HOAs at a significant discount to retail price. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage

36

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 (primarily due to offered volume discounts, and taking into account consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of projected 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. Cost of sales will typically be favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of secondary market VOI inventory is acquired or actual defaults and equity trades are higher and the resulting change in estimate is recognized. While we believe that additional inventory will be available through the secondary market at favorable prices in the future, there can be no assurance that such inventory will be available as expected.

Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory.  Represents the maintenance fees and developer subsidies for unsold VOI inventory paid or accrued to the HOAs that maintain the resorts. We attempt to offset this expense, to the extent possible, by generating revenue from renting our VOIs and through utilizing them in our sampler programs. We net such revenue from this expense item.

Selling and Marketing Expense.  Represents costs incurred to sell and market VOIs, including costs relating to marketing and incentive programs, tours, and related wages and sales commissions. Revenues from vacation package sales are netted against selling and marketing expenses.

Financing Expense.  Represents financing interest expense related to our receivable-backed debt, amortization of the related debt issuance costs and expenses incurred in providing financing and servicing loans, including administrative costs associated with mortgage servicing activities for our loans and the loans of certain third-party developers.  Mortgage servicing activities include, among other things, payment processing, reporting and collections services.

Resort Operations and Club Management Expense.  Represents costs incurred to manage resorts and the Vacation Club, including payroll and related costs and other administrative costs to the extent not reimbursed by the Vacation Club or HOAs.

General and Administrative Expense.  Primarily represents compensation expense for personnel supporting our business and operations, professional fees (including consulting, audit and legal fees), and administrative and related expenses.

Key Business and Financial Metrics and Terms Used by Management

Sales of VOIs.  Represent sales of our owned VOIs, including sales of developed VOIs and those acquired through JIT and secondary market arrangements, reduced by equity trade allowances and our provision for loan losses. In addition to the factors impacting system-wide sales of VOIs (as described below), sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of system-wide sales of VOIs sold on behalf of third-parties on a commission basis, which are not included in sales of VOIs.

System-wide Sales of VOIs.  Represents all sales of VOIs, whether owned by us or a third party immediately prior to the sale. Sales of VOIs owned by third parties are transacted as sales of VOIs in our Vacation Club through the same selling and marketing process we use to sell our VOI inventory. We consider system-wide sales of VOIs to be an important operating measure because it reflects all sales of VOIs by our sales and marketing operations without regard to whether we or a third party owned such VOI inventory at the time of sale. System-wide sales of VOIs is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to sales of VOIs or any other measure of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP or to any other method of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

Guest Tours.  Represents the number of sales presentations given at our sales centers during the period.

Sale to Tour Conversion Ratio.  Represents the rate at which guest tours are converted to sales of VOIs and is calculated by dividing the number of sales transactions by the number of guest tours.

Average Sales Volume Per Guest (“VPG”).  Represents the sales attributable to tours at our sales locations and is calculated by dividing VOI sales by guest tours. We consider VPG to be an important operating measure because it measures the effectiveness of our sales process, combining the average transaction price with the sale-to-tour conversion ratio.

Adjusted EBITDA.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings, or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured

37

by our VOI notes receivable), income and franchise taxes, loss (gain) on assets held for sale, depreciation and amortization, amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which we own a 51% interest), and items that we believe are not representative of ongoing operating results. For purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on our VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of our business.

We consider our total Adjusted EBITDA and our Segment Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of our operating performance, and it is used by us to measure our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand our business. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method of analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Sales of VOIs.  Sales of VOIs were $70.7 million and $195.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $62.5 million and $176.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Sales of VOIs are impacted by the factors described below in system-wide sales of VOIs. Gross sales of VOIs were reduced by $14.5 million and $35.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $10.9 million and $33.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, for the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses varies based on the amount of financed, non-fee based sales during the period and changes in our estimates of future notes receivable performance for existing loans. Our provision for loan losses as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs was 17% and 16% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and 15% and 16% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  The percentage of our sales which were realized in cash within 30 days from sale decreased to 39% during the three months ended September

41

30, 2018 from 41% during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and decreased to 41% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 43% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in the provision for loan loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to the lower cash sales and the impact of additional reserves on prior years’ originations offset by the impact of an increase in our weighted-average FICO score in 2018 compared to prior years.  We have in recent years experienced an increase in our default rates. We believe that a significant portion of the default increase in recent years is due to the receipt of letters from attorneys and timeshare exit companies who purport to represent certain VOI owners and who have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding such letters and actions taken by us in connection with these letters. While we believe our notes receivable are adequately reserved at this time, actual defaults may differ from the estimates and the reserve may not be adequate. In addition to the factors described below impacting system-wide sales of VOIs, sales of VOIs are impacted by the proportion of system-wide sales of VOIs sold on behalf of third parties on a commission basis, which are not included in sales of VOIs.

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

	For the Twelve Months Ended September 30,
	2018	2017
Average annual default rates	8.41%	8.07%
	As of September 30,
	2018	2017
Delinquency rates	2.79%	3.06%

System-wide sales of VOIs.   System-wide sales of VOIs were $173.3 million and $478.1 million during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2018, respectively, and $171.4 million and $467.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We estimated that system-wide sales of VOIs were adversely impacted by approximately $5.8 million and $6.2 million as a result of named hurricanes in September 2018 and 2017, respectively. System-wide sales increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the comparable periods in 2017 due to an increase in the average sales volume per guest (“VPG”), partially offset by a decrease in the number of guest tours.   During2017, we began several initiatives to screen the credit qualifications of potential marketing guests, resulting in a higher VPG and a lower number of tours. We believe our screening of marketing guests has resulted in improved efficiencies in our sales process, however there is no assurance that such efficiencies will continue. 

Included in system-wide sales are Fee-Based Sales, JIT Sales, Secondary Market Sales and developed VOI sales. Sales by category are tracked based on which deeded VOI is conveyed in each transaction.  We manage which VOIs are sold based on several factors, including the needs of fee-based clients, our debt service requirements and default resale requirements under term securitization and similar transactions. These factors contribute to fluctuations in the amount of sales by category from period to period.

The following table sets forth certain information for system-wide sales of VOIs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

Cost of VOIs Sold.  During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, cost of VOIs sold was $11.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and represented 16% and 10%, respectively, of sales of VOIs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, cost of VOIs sold was $19.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and represented 10% and 6%, respectively, of sales of VOIs. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, our VOI sales were of comparatively higher cost product and we acquired less secondary market VOI inventory as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. Secondary market purchases were temporarily suspended in September 2018, in connection with a computer system conversion involving our sales and inventory process.  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.  Therefore, cost of sales will typically be favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of Secondary Market VOI inventory is acquired or actual defaults and equity trades are higher than originally estimated and the resulting change in estimate is recognized.  During the second quarter of 2017, we implemented a revised VOI pricing matrix.  These changes increased the average selling price of VOIs by approximately 4%.  As a result of this pricing change, we also increased our estimate of total gross margin that will be generated on the sale of our VOI inventory under the relative sales value method.  Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2017, we recognized a benefit to cost of VOI sold of $5.1 million ($3.1 million, net of tax, and $0.04 EPS), with no such price increase and cost of sales benefit in 2018.   

Fee-Based Sales Commission Revenue.  During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we sold $88.2 million and $98.0 million, respectively, of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements and earned sales and marketing commissions of $61.6 million and $70.0 million, respectively, in connection with those sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we sold $246.8 million and $257.8 million, respectively, of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements and earned sales and marketing commissions of $167.6 million and $179.0 million, respectively, in connection with those sales. We earned an average sales and marketing commission of 70% and 68% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 71% and 69% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which is net of a reserve for commission refunds in connection with early defaults and cancellations, pursuant to the terms of certain of our fee-based service arrangements. The decrease in sales and marketing commissions as a percentage of fee-based sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily related to the mix of developer sales at higher commission rates in the 2017 periods, as well as higher commission refunds associated with defaults and cancellations.

Financing Revenue, Net of Financing Expense — Sales of VOIs.  Interest income on VOIs notes receivable was $20.0 million and $19.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was partially offset by interest expense on receivable-backed debt of $5.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Interest income on VOIs notes receivable was $59.3 million and $59.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was partially offset by interest expense on receivable-backed debt of $14.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively.  The decrease in finance revenue net of finance expense is a result of our higher cost of borrowing and lower weighted average interest rates on VOI notes receivable in connection with the introduction of “risk-based pricing” pursuant to which buyer’s interest rates are determined based on their FICO score at the point of sale, partially offset by an increase in our VOI notes receivable portfolio. Revenues from mortgage servicing during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and $1.4 million and $3.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, are included in financing revenue, net of mortgage servicing expenses of  $1.4 million and $4.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $1.4 million and $4.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Other Fee-Based Services — Title Operations, net.  During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, revenue from our title operations was $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which was partially offset by expenses directly related to our title operations of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, revenue from our title operations was $9.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively, which was partially offset by expenses directly related to our title operations of $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Resort title fee revenue is recognized when escrow amounts are released and title documents are completed. Resort title fee revenue varies based on sales volumes as well as the relative title costs in the jurisdictions where the inventory being sold is located. 

Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory. The carrying cost of our VOI inventory was $7.2 million and $4.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was partly offset by rental and sampler revenues of

44

$4.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The carrying cost of our inventory was $20.1 million and $12.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was partly offset by rental and sampler revenues of $13.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The increase in carrying costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to our acquisition of the Éilan Hotel & Spa during April 2018, which added $1.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively to the carrying costs of our VOI inventory, and increased maintenance fees and developer subsidies associated with our increase in VOI inventory.

Selling and Marketing Expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses were $85.0 million and $234.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $88.1 million and $242.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 49% during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 51% and 52% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  Selling and marketing expenses vary as a percentage of sales from period to period based in part on the relative proportion of marketing methods utilized during such periods, most notably the percentage of sales to our existing owners, which has a relatively lower cost compared to other methods. Existing owner sales increased to 51% of system-wide sales during both the three andnine months ended September 30, 2018 from 48% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 49% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  In addition, the corporate realignment initiative commenced during the fourth quarter of 2017, as described in further detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, reduced certain selling and marketing expenses.  See also “Commitments” below for additional information regarding the corporate realignment initiative.

General and Administrative Expenses — Sales and Marketing Operations.  General and administrative expenses attributable to sales and marketing operations were $7.2 million and $20.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $9.5 million and $22.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, general and administrative expenses attributable to sales and marketing operations was 4% during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 6% and 5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  During September 2017, we accrued $2.9 million for severance payments under an agreement with an executive in connection with his retirement.

Resort Operations and Club Management Revenue.  Resort operations and club management revenue increased 14% and 12% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We provide management services to the Vacation Club and to a majority of the HOAs of the resorts within the Vacation Club. In connection with our management services, we also manage the Vacation Club reservation system, provide services to owners and perform billing and collection services to the Vacation Club and certain HOAs. Additionally, we generate revenues from our Traveler Plus program, food and beverage operations at the resorts and other retail operations. We also earn commissions from providing rental services to third parties and fees from managing the construction activities of certain of our fee based third-party developer clients. The resort properties we managed increased from 48 as of September 30, 2017 to 49 as of September 30, 2018 due to a new resort under management in New Orleans, Louisiana. Resort operations and club management revenues increased during the 2018 periods compared to the 2017 periods primarily as a result of such increase in the number of managed resorts and the food and beverage and other operations at the Éilan Hotel & Spa which we acquired in April 2018.

Resort Operations and Club Management Costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, cost of other fee-based services increased 12% and 10%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the higher costs associated with programs provided to VOI owners, the increased costs of providing management services as a result of the increase in the number of managed resorts, and the operating costs of the Éilan Hotel & Spa.

General and Administrative Expenses — Corporate and Other.  General and administrative expenses directly attributable to corporate overhead were $20.3 million and $60.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $17.4 million and $47.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the comparable prior year periods was primarily due to higher executive leadership and long-term incentive compensation expenses, higher outside legal expenses in connection with a new focus on defending litigation which we believe to be frivolous, higher self-insured health care costs, depreciation expense, executive severance expense, including those related to corporate realignment activities commenced in December 2017, and expenses related to investor and public relations activities associated with being a public company.

Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.  We include in our consolidated financial statements the results of operations and financial condition of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, our 51%-owned subsidiary. The non-controlling interest in Adjusted EBITDA of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations is the portion of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ AdjustedEBITDA that is attributable to Big Cedar LLC, which holds the remaining 49% interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations was $3.6 million and $9.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $3.2 million and $9.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense not related to receivable-backed debt was $4.2 million and $11.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $3.5 million and $10.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  The increase in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to higher notes payable and lines-of-credit balances and a higher weighted-average cost of borrowing.

Other Income (Expense), net. Other income (expense), net was $0.3 million and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and ($0.1) million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily related to business interruption insurance proceeds received in 2018 for Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $25.0 million and $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Our effective income tax rate was approximately 27% and 39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The decrease in taxes was primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which was signed into law on December 22, 2017.  Among other things, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanently lowers the federal corporate tax rate to 21% from the previous maximum rate of 35%. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was effective for us on January 1, 2018.  Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon our current estimated annual rate. Our 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 we operate. For further information, see Notes 2 and 9 to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our operating cash flow decreased $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due primarily to increased spending on the acquisition and development of inventory in the 2018 period and decreases in working capital, partially offset by a reduction in income tax payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased $15.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, reflecting increased purchases of property and equipment in the 2018 period.  The increase was primarily related to $6.7 million in sales office expansions, increased information technology spending of $3.5 million, and other purchases of property and equipment. 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities decreased $30.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, primarily due to increased net borrowings on lines-of-credit and notes payable, and receivable-backed notes payable of $21.8 million. In addition, we paid $33.6 million of dividends during the nine months ended September 30,2018 compared to $40.0 million of dividends during the same period of 2017.

For additional information on the availability of cash from existing credit facilities, as well as repayment obligations, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Seasonality

We have historically experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenues and results of operations. This seasonality has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. Although more potential customers typically visit our sales offices during the quarters ending in June and September, our recognition of the resulting sales during these periods may be delayed due to applicable revenue recognition rules.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our 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 fee-based services, including resort management operations.

While the vacation ownership business has historically been capital intensive and we may from time to time pursue transactions or activities which may require significant capital investment and adversely impact cash flows, we have generally sought to focus on the generation of  “free cash flow” (defined as cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures) by: (i) incentivizing our 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) limiting our capital and inventory expenditures; (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; and (v) more recently, by selling VOIs obtained through  secondary market or JIT  arrangements. In 2018, we have invested more of our free-cash flow in additional sales offices and sales office expansions as well as information technology expenditures which we expect to drive and support growth in future years.  In addition, during April 2018, we acquired the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas for $34.3 million, and borrowed $24.3 million to help fund the acquisition.

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 our continued liquidity. A financed VOI buyer is generally only required to pay a minimum of 10% 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 our VOI notes

48

receivable has been a critical factor in our ability to meet our short and long-term cash needs. We have attempted to maintain a number of diverse financing facilities. Historically, we have relied on our ability to sell receivables in the term securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in our receivable facilities. In addition, maintaining adequate VOI inventory to sell and pursue growth into new markets has historically required us to incur debt for the acquisition, construction and development of new resorts. The remaining development expenditures during 2018 are expected to be in a range of $5.0 million to $10.0 million, which primarilyrelate to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ resorts and development at our Fountains resort in Orlando, Florida.

We expect to seek to acquire or develop additional VOI inventory, which may increase our acquisition and development expenditures as compared to prior periods and may involve or require the incurrence of additional debt.

In connection with our capital-light business activities, we have entered into agreements with third-party developers that allow us to buy VOI inventory, typically on a non-committed basis, prior to when we intend to sell such VOIs. Our capital-light business strategy also includes secondary market sales, pursuant to which we enter into secondary market arrangements with certain HOAs and others on a non-committed basis, which allows us to acquire VOIs generally at a significant discount, as such VOIs are typically obtained by the HOAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults. Remaining acquisitions of JIT and secondary market inventory in 2018 is expected to range from $2.0 million to $5.0 million.

In addition, remaining capital expenditures in connection with sales and marketing facilities as well as for information technology capital expenditures are expected to be in a range of $10.0 million to $15.0 million in 2018.

Available funds may also be used to acquire other businesses or assets, invest in other real estate based opportunities, or to fund loans to affiliates or others.

During each of the first, second, and third quarters of 2018, we paid a cash dividend of $0.15 per share on our common stock, which totaled $11.2 million each quarter and $33.6 million in the aggregate.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we paid cash dividends of $0.56 per share, or $40.0 million in the aggregate, to BBX Capital, our sole shareholder prior to our initial public offering in November 2017. We intend to pay regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock, subject to declaration by, and the discretion of, our board of directors and limitations contained in our credit facilities.  On October 17, 2018, we declared a quarterly cash dividend payable in the fourth quarter of 2018 of $0.15 per share on our common stock, or $11.2 million in the aggregate.

In April 2015, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries provided an $80.0 million loan to BBX Capital. Amounts outstanding on the loan bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum until July 2017 when the interest rate was reduced to 6% per annum. Payments of interest are required on a quarterly basis, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term of the loan. BBX Capital is permitted to prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time, and prepayments will be required, to the extent necessary, in order for us to remain in compliance with covenants under our outstanding indebtedness. During both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, we recognized $1.2 million of interest income on the loan to BBX Capital.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $3.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of interest income on the loan to BBX Capital.

2018-A Term Securitization.  In October 2018, we completed the 2018-A Term Securitization,a private offering and sale of approximately $117.7 million of investment-grade, VOI receivable-backed notes (the "Notes"), including approximately $49.8 million of Class A Notes, approximately $33.1 million of Class B Notes and approximately $34.8 million of Class C Notes with interest rates of 3.77%, 3.95% and 4.44%, respectively, which blends to an overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.02%. The gross advance rate for this transactionwas 87.2%. The Notes mature in February 2034. KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyCM”) and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint bookrunners and co-lead managers and were the initial purchasers of the Notes. KeyCM also acted as structuring agent for the transaction.

The amount of the VOI receivables sold or to be sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2018-A (the “Trust”) is approximately $135 million, approximately $109 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $26 million of which is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to February 25, 2019. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $117.7 million. A portion of the proceeds received at the closing was used to: repay KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main (“DZ Bank”) approximately $49.2 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under our existing purchase facility with KeyBank and DZ Bank (the "KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $20.4 million

49

under our existing Liberty Bank Facility; repay Pacific Western Bank approximately $7.1 million under our existing Pacific Western Bank Facility; capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. The remainder of the proceeds from the 2018-A Term Securitization are expected to be used by us for general corporate purposes. As a result of the facility repayments described above, following the closing of the 2018-A Term Securitization, (i) there were noamounts outstanding under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $80.0 million on a revolving basis through December 31, 2019, (ii) there was approximately $19.1 million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50 million on a revolving basis through March 12, 2020, and (iii) there was approximately $9.6 million outstanding under the Pacific Western Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $40 million on a revolving basis through September 20, 2021, in each case, subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of each facility, respectively. Thus, subject to the foregoing approximately $76.7 million in the aggregate was available under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, Liberty Bank Facility and Pacific Western Facility as a result of the repayments.

Further, subject to performance of the collateral, we will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2018-A Term Securitization (meaning excess cash after payments of customary fees, interest, and principal under the 2018-A Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans.

While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2018-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction.

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

Credit Facilities for Receivables with Future Availability

We maintain various credit facilities with financial institutions which allow us to borrow against or sell our VOI notes receivable.  As of September 30, 2018, we had the following credit facilities with future availability, all of which are subject to revolving availability terms during the advance period and therefore provide for additional availability as the facility is paid down, subject in each case to compliance with covenants, eligible collateral and applicable terms and conditions during the advance period (dollars in thousands):

	Borrowing Limit as of September 30, 2018		Outstanding Balance as of September 30, 2018		Availability as of September 30, 2018		Advance Period Expiration; Borrowing Maturity as of September 30, 2018	Borrowing Rate; Rate as of September 30, 2018
Liberty Bank Facility	$	50,000	$	40,392	$	9,608	March 2020; March 2023	Prime Rate; floor of 4.00%; 5.00%

Pacific Western Facility		40,000		17,081		22,919	September 2021; September 2024	30 day LIBOR+2.75% to 3.00%; 5.84%
KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility		80,000		49,733		30,267	December 2019; December 2022	30 day LIBOR +2.75%; 5.01% (1)

	$	290,000	$	187,242	$	102,758

(1) Borrowings accrue interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR, a “Cost of Funds” rate or commercial paper rates plus 2.75%. As described in further detail below, the interest rate will increase to the applicable rate plus 4.75% upon the expiration of the advance period.

(2) Of the amounts outstanding under the Quorum Purchase Facility at September 30, 2018, $5.0 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.75%, $29.9 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.95%, $2.7 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.0%, and $2.1 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.50%.

Liberty Bank Facility.   We have a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Liberty Bank Facility”) with Liberty Bank which provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the Liberty Bank Facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. On March 12, 2018, the Liberty Bank Facility was amended and restated to extend the revolving credit period from March 2018 to March 2020, extend the maturity date from November 2020 until March 2023, and amend the interest rate on borrowings as described below. Subject to its terms and conditions, the Liberty Bank Facility provides for advances of (i) 85% of the unpaid principal balance of Qualified Timeshare Loans assigned to agent, and (ii) 60% of the unpaid principal balance of Non-Conforming Timeshare Loans assigned to agent, during the revolving credit period of the facility. Maximum permitted outstanding borrowings under the Liberty Bank Facility are $50.0 million, subject to the terms of the facility. Through March 31, 2018, borrowings under the Liberty Bank Facility bore interest at the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 0.50% per annum, subject to a 4.00% floor.  Pursuant to the March 2018 amendment to the Liberty Bank Facility, effective April 1, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the WSJ Prime Rate, subject to a 4.00% floor. Principal and interest due under the Liberty Bank Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

NBA Receivables Facility.   Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations has a revolving VOI hypothecation facility (the “NBA Receivables Facility”) with National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”). The NBA Receivables Facility provides for advances at a rate of 85% on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to eligible collateral and specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period expiring in September 2020 and allows for maximum borrowings of up to $70.0 million, including a $20.0 million increase in the maximum borrowing amount as a result of the repayment and elimination of availability under the NBA line of credit as described in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report. The maturity date for the facility is March 2025.  The interest rate applicable to future borrowings under the NBA Receivables Facility is equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75% (with an interest rate floor of 3.50%). All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility, with the remaining outstanding balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

51

Pacific Western Facility.  We have a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Pacific Western Facility”) with Pacific Western Bank, which provides for advances on eligible VOI notes receivable pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. Maximum outstanding borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are $40.0 million, subject to eligible collateral and customary terms and conditions. On August 15, 2018, the Pacific Western Facility was amended to extend the revolving advance period from September 2018 through September 2021 and the maturity date from September 2021 until September 2024 (in each case, subject to an additional 12-month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank). Eligible “A” VOI notes receivable that meet certain eligibility and FICO score requirements, which we believe are typically consistent with loans originated under our current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The Pacific Western Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” VOI notes receivable (which have less stringent FICO score requirements) to be funded at a 53% advance rate. In addition, pursuant to the August 2018 amendment, effective September 21, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the Pacific Western Facility  bear interest at an annual rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 3.00%; provided, however, that a portion of the borrowings, to the extent such borrowings are in excess of established debt minimums, will bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75%. Until September 21, 2018, borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility continued to bear interest at the prevailing interest rates under the facility, which ranged from 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% to 4.50%. Principal repayments and interest on borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged VOI notes receivable, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving advance period, with the remaining outstanding balancebeing due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility.   We have a VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility”) with DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt AM Main (“DZ”), and KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) which permits maximum outstanding financingsof $80.0 million, with an advance period expiring in December 2019 and an advance rate of 80%. The KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility will mature and all outstanding amounts will become due 36 months after the revolving advance period has expired, or earlier under certain circumstances set forth in the facility. Interest on amounts outstanding under the facility is tied to an applicable index rate of the LIBOR rate, in the case of amounts funded by KeyBank, and a cost of funds rate or commercial paper rates, in the case of amounts funded by or through DZ. The interest rate payable under the facility is the applicable index rate plus 2.75% until the expiration of the revolving advance period and thereafter will be the applicable index rate plus 4.75%. Subject to the terms of the facility, we will receive the excess cash flows generated by the VOI notes receivable sold (excess meaning after payment of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) until the expiration of the VOI notes receivable advance period, at which point all of the excess cash flow will be paid to the note holders until the outstanding balance is reduced to zero. While ownership of the VOI notes receivable included in the facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivable is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The facility is nonrecourse.

Quorum Purchase Facility.   We and Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations have a VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”), pursuant to which Quorum has agreed to purchase eligible VOI notes receivable in an amount of up to an aggregate $50.0 million purchase price, subject to certain conditions precedent and other terms of the facility. On April 6, 2018, the Quorum Purchase Facility was amended to extend the revolving purchase period from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2020, and provide for a fixed interest rate of 4.95% per annum on advances made through September 30, 2018. The interest rate on advances made after September 30, 2018 will be set at the time of funding based on rates mutually agreed upon by all parties. The amendment also reduced the loan purchase fee applicable to advances from 0.50% to 0.25% and extended the maturity of the Quorum Purchase Facility from December 2030 to December 2032.  Of the amounts outstanding under the Quorum Purchase Facility at September 30, 2018, $5.0 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.75%, $29.9 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.95%, $2.7 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.0%, and $2.1 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.50%. The Quorum Purchase Facility provides for an 85% advance rate on eligible receivables sold under the facility, however Quorum can modify this advance rate on future purchases subject to the terms and conditions of the Quorum Purchase Facility. Eligibility requirements for VOI notes receivable sold include, among others, that the obligors under the VOI notes receivable sold be members of Quorum at the time of the note sale. Subject to performance of the collateral, we or Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, as applicable, will receive any excess cash flows generated by the VOI notes receivable transferred to Quorum under the facility (excess meaning after payment of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI notes receivable. While ownership of the VOI notes receivable included in the Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivable is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The facility is nonrecourse.

Credit Facilities for Inventories with Future Availability

NBA Line of Credit.   Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations had a revolving line of credit with NBA (the “NBA Line of Credit”) with a borrowing limit of $20.0 million. The NBA Line of Credit provided for a revolving advance period expiring in September 2020 and maturity in March 2025, and was secured by unsold inventory and a building under construction at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ The Cliffs at Long Creek Resort. Interest payments were paid monthly. Principal payments were effected through release payments upon sales of VOIs in The Cliffs at Long Creek Resort that served as collateral for the NBA Line of Credit, subject to mandatory principal reductions. As of September 30, 2018, the NBA Line of Credit was paid in full and there was no outstanding balance.  The availability of this line has transferred to the NBA Receivables Facility above.

Pacific Western Term Loan.   We had a non-revolving term loan (the “Pacific Western Term Loan”) with Pacific Western Bank, as successor-by-merger to CapitalSource Bank, secured by unsold inventory and undeveloped land at the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort. As of September 30, 2018, the Pacific Western Term Loan was paid in full and there was no outstanding balance. 

NBA Éilan Loan. On April 17, 2018, we purchased the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas for approximately $34.3 million.  In connection with the acquisition, we entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan with NBA (the “NBA Éilan Loan”), which provides for advances of up to $27.5 million, $24.3 million of which was used to fund the acquisition of the resort and up to an additional $3.2 million which may be drawn upon to fund certain future improvement costs over a 12-month advance period. Principal payments will be effected through release payments from sales of VOIs at Éilan Hotel & Spa that serve as collateral for the NBA Éilan Loan, subject to a minimum amortization schedule, with the remaining balance due at maturity in April 2023. Borrowings under the NBA Éilan Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a floor of 4.75%.  As of September 30, 2018, there was $24.3 million outstanding on the NBA Éilan Loan.

Other Credit Facilities

Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit and Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan.  In December 2016, we entered into a $100.0 millionsyndicated credit facility with Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent and lead arranger, and certain other bank participants as lenders. The facility includes a $25.0 million term loan (the “Fifth Third Syndicated TermLoan”) with quarterly amortization requirements and a$75.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit”). Amounts borrowed under the facility generally bearinterest at LIBOR plus 2.75% - 3.75% depending on our leverage ratio, are collateralized by certain of our VOI inventory, sales centerbuildings, management fees and short-term receivables, and will mature in December 2021. As of September 30, 2018, outstanding borrowingsunder the facility totaled $77.8 million, including $22.8 million under the FifthThird Syndicated Term Loan with an interest rate of 5.04%, and$55.0 million under the Fifth Third Syndicated Line of Credit with an interest rate of 4.99%.

We also have outstanding obligations under various credit facilities and securitizations that have no remaining future availability as the advance periods have expired.

Commitments

Our material commitments include the required payments due on our receivable-backed debt, lines-of-credit and other notes payable,junior subordinated debentures, commitments tocomplete certain projects based on our sales contracts with customers, subsidy advances tocertain HOAs, inventory purchase commitments under JIT arrangements andcommitments under non-cancelable operating leases.

53

The following table summarizes the contractual minimum principal and interest payments required on all of our outstanding debt and non-cancelable operating leases by period due date, as of September 30, 2018 (in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Less than 1 year		1 – 3 Years		4 – 5 Years		After 5 Years		Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs		Total

(1) Amounts do not include purchase accounting adjustments for junior subordinated debentures of $39.7 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, 2018.

In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with a former executive in connection with his retirement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agreed to make payments totaling approximately $2.9 million through March 2019. As of September 30, 2018, $1.2 million remained payable under this agreement. In addition, during the second half of 2017, we implemented an initiative designed to streamline our operations in certain areas to facilitate future growth. Such initiative resulted in $5.8 million of severance accrued as of December 31, 2017 and $0.4 million accrued as of September 30, 2018, which amounts are included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as of such dates. 

In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, we may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments related to such subsidies of $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, we had $6.2 million accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date.

We believe that our 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, future or replacement purchase facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, including the contractual payment of the obligations set forth above, for the foreseeable future, subject to the success of our ongoing business strategy and the ongoing availability of credit. We will continue our efforts to renew, extend or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term. We may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue corporate debt or equity securities. Any debt incurred or issued 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, our efforts to renew or replace 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, proposed or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables purchase facilities to meet our cash needs, including debt service obligations. To the extent we are unable to sell notes receivable or borrow under such facilities, our ability to satisfy our obligations would be materially adversely affected.

54

Our receivables purchase facilities, credit facilities, indentures and other outstanding debt instruments include what we believe 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 and cash balances, and events of default or termination. In the future, we may be required to seek waivers of such covenants, but may not be successful in obtaining waivers, and such covenants may limit our ability to pay dividends, raise funds, sell receivables or satisfy or refinance our obligations, or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our future operating performance and ability to meet our financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which may be beyond our control.

We have an exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides us with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through certain other means. As of September 30, 2018, we were selling vacation packages in 69 of Bass Pro’s stores.  We compensate Bass Pro based on VOI sales generated through the program. No compensation is paid to Bass Pro under the agreement on sales made at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ resorts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 14% and 15%, respectively, of our VOI sales volume. On October 9, 2017, Bass Pro advised us that it believed the amounts paid to it as VOI sales commissions should not have been adjusted for certain purchaser defaults. We previously had informed Bass Pro that the aggregate amount of such adjustments for defaults charged back to Bass Pro between January 2008 and June 2017 totaled approximately $4.8 million. While we believed and continue to believe that these adjustments were appropriate and consistent with both the terms and the intent of the agreements with Bass Pro, in October 2017, in order to demonstrate our good faith, we paid the amount at issue to Bass Pro pending future resolution of the matter.We have continued to make payments to Bass Pro as we believe appropriate and consistent with the agreements, which continue to be adjusted for defaults and Bass Pro has accepted these payments as historically calculated.  Subsequently, and again more recently, Bass Pro has raised issues regarding adjustments for defaults and requested additional information regarding the calculation of commissions payable to Bass Pro and other amounts payable under the agreements, including reimbursements paid to us, as well as regarding the operations of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. The issues raised by Bass Pro have not impacted current operations under the marketing agreement or relative to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.  We have formally responded to Bass Pro with our view on these matters and intend to provide Bass Pro with all appropriately requested information. Our agreements with Bass Pro provide that in the event of any dispute or disagreement between the parties, either party may give notice and thereafter the CEOs of the parties are required to communicate promptly with each other with a view to resolving the dispute or disagreement. Accordingly, it is anticipated that such process will be followed in good faith and that the parties will appropriately resolve any issues. While we do not believe that any material additional amounts are due to Bass Pro as a result of these matters, our future results could be impacted by any change in the calculations utilized in connection with payments or reimbursements required under the agreements or if we are unable to resolve the issue.

Off-balance-sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018, we did not have any “off-balance sheet” arrangements.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and has been accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Katja Anderson and George Galloway, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated v. Bluegreen Vacations Corporation, Case No. 18-cv-00127, United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Waco Division

On May 3, 2018, Katja Anderson and George Galloway, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against us which asserted violations of the Telephone Consumer Practices Act. The plaintiffs claimed that they received multiple telemarketing calls in the spring of 2015 despite their requests not to be called. Plaintiffs sought certification of a class of individuals in the United States who received more than one telephone call made by us or on our behalf within a 12-month period to a telephone number that was registered with the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days. Plaintiffs sought money damages, attorneys’ fees and a court order requiring us to cease all unsolicited telephone calling activities. We moved to dismiss the lawsuit and, on August 13, 2018, this case was dismissed without prejudice.

Organization And Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Organization And Basis Of Presentation

1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation

Bluegreen Vacations Corporation is referred to in this report together with its consolidated subsidiaries as “Bluegreen Vacations,” “Bluegreen,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”. Bluegreen has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other future interim or annual periods. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2018.

Initial Public Offering

The initial public offering of our common stock was closed on November 17, 2017.  In the initial public offering, we sold 3,736,723 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. We received net proceeds of approximately $47.3 million from our sale of shares in the initial public offering.  In addition, BBX Capital Corporation (NYSE: BBX) (“BBX Capital”), our sole shareholder prior to the initial public offering, as selling shareholder, sold 3,736,722 shares of our common stock in the initial public offering, including 974,797 shares sold on December 5, 2017 pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by BBX Capital. BBX Capital continues to own 90% of our outstanding common stock. Our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on November 17, 2017 under the symbol “BXG.”  In connection with the initial public offering, we effected a 709,977-for-1 stock split. All share and per share amounts herein reflect, or are calculated after giving effect to, such stock split.

Our Business

We are a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and manages resorts in leisure and urban destinations. Our resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 24  Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in our Vacation Club have the right to use a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). Our Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, among others. Through our points-based system, the approximately 216,000 owners in our Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of our resorts and have access to approximately 11,100 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. We have a robust sales and marketing platform supported by exclusive marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands, such as Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. These marketing relationships drive sales within our core demographic.

Prior to 2009, our vacation ownership business consisted solely of the sale of VOIs in resorts that we developed or acquired (“developed VOI sales”). While we continue to conduct such sales and development activities, we now also derive a significant portion of our revenue from our capital-light business model, which utilizes our expertise and infrastructure to generate both VOI sales and recurring revenue from third parties without the significant capital investment generally associated with the development and acquisition of resorts. Our capital-light business activities include sales of VOIs owned by third-party developers pursuant to which we are paid a commission (“fee-based sales”) and sales of VOIs that we purchase under just-in-time (“JIT”) arrangements with third-party developers or from secondary market sources. In addition, we provide resorts and resort developers with other fee-based services, including resort management, mortgage servicing, title services and construction management. We also offer financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest, including Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC (a joint venture in which we are deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on our 51% equity interest, our active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and our majority voting control of its management committee, (“Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations”) and variable interest entities (sometimes referred to herein as “VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Consolidations (Topic 810). We do not consolidate the statutory business trusts formed by us to issue trust preferred securities as these entities represent VIEs in which we are not the primary beneficiary. The statutory business trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 

Revenue Recognition

Sales of VOIs.  Revenue is recognized for sales of VOIs after control of the VOI is deemed transferred to the customer, which is when the legal rescission period has expired on a binding executed VOI sales agreement and the collectability of the note receivable from the buyer, if any, is reasonably assured.  Transfer of control of the VOI to the buyer is deemed to occur when the legal rescission period expires as the risk and rewards associated with VOI ownership are transferred to the buyer at that time.  We record customer deposits from contracts within the legal rescission period in Restricted cash and Accrued liabilities and other in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as such amounts are refundable until the legal rescission period has expired.  In cases where construction and development of our developed resorts has not been substantially completed, we defer all of the revenues and associated expenses for the sales of VOIs until construction is substantially complete and the resort may be occupied.

We generally, offer qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs.  The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate, is fully amortizing in equal installments and may be prepaid without penalty.  For sales of VOIs for which we provide financing, we have reduced the transaction price for expected loan losses which we consider to be variable consideration. Our estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of our static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable. Our policies regarding the estimation of variable consideration on our notes receivable are discussed in further detail under “Notes Receivable” below. VOI Sales where no financing was provided do not have any material significant payment terms. 

Under timeshare accounting rules, rental operations, including accommodations provided through the use of our sampler program, are accounted for as incidental operations whereby incremental carrying costs in excess of incremental revenues are expensed as incurred. During each of the periods presented, our aggregate rental revenue and sampler revenue was less than the aggregate carrying cost of our VOI inventory.  Accordingly, we recorded such revenue as a reduction to the carrying cost of VOI inventory which is included in Cost of other fee-based services in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for each period.

Fee-based sales commission revenue.  Fee-based sales commission revenue is recognized when a sales transaction with a VOI purchaser is consummated in accordance with the terms of the fee-based sales agreement with the third-party developer, it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur and the related consumer rescission period has expired.

Other fee-based services revenue and cost reimbursements.  Revenue in connection with our other fee-based services (which are described below) is recognized as follows:

· Resort and club management revenue and related cost reimbursements are recognized as services are rendered.  These services provided to the resort homeowner associations (“HOAs”) are comprised of day-to-day services to operate the resort, including management services and certain accounting and administrative functions.  Management services provided to the Vacation Club include managing the reservation system and providing owner, billing and collection services.  Our management contracts are typically structured as cost-plus with an initial term of three years and automatic one-year renewals. We believe these services to be a series of distinct goods and services to be accounted for as a single performance obligation over time and recognize revenue as the customer receives the benefits of our services.  We allocate variable consideration to the distinct good or service within the series, such that revenue from management fees and cost reimbursements is recognized in each period as the uncertainty with respect to such variable consideration is resolved.

· Resort title fee revenue is recognized when escrow amounts are released and title documents are completed.

· Rental revenues are recognized on a daily basis which is consistent with the period for which the customer benefits from such service.  Revenue from the sampler program is typically recognized within a year from sale as guests complete stays at the resorts.

· Mortgage servicing revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.

Our cost of other fee-based services consists of the costs associated with the various activities described above, as well as developer subsidies and maintenance fees on our unsold VOIs.

Interest Income.  We provide financing for a significant portion of sales of our owned VOIs.  We recognize interest income from financing VOI sales on the accrual method as earned based on the outstanding principal balance, interest rate and terms stated in each individual financing agreement.  See “Notes Receivable” below for further discussion of the policies applicable to our VOI notes receivable.

(2) Included in our resort operations and club management segment described in Note 11.

Notes Receivable

Our notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days contractually past due and is not resumed until such loans are less than 90 days past due.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $17.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of our VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, consistent with our policy, were not accruing interest income.  After 120 days, our VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan losses.

To the extent we determine that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized may occur, we record an estimate of variable consideration as a reduction to the transaction price of the sales of VOIs until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.  Our estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of our static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectibles for each period’s sales over the entire life of the notes. We also consider whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions, as well as variations in underwriting standards. We review our estimate of variable consideration on at least a quarterly basis.  Loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related notes receivable.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)” as subsequently amended (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 replaced numerous requirements in GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.  The new standard specifies how and when to recognize revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle-based framework and requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective method and accordingly, prior period results have been adjusted to apply the new standard, as shown below. 

We have elected to use the following practical expedients in connection with our adoption of ASU 2014-09: 

· We utilize the transaction price upon completion of the contract for certain contracts with customers.

· We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or unsatisfied performance obligations or unsatisfied promises to transfer a distinct good or service that forms a part of a single performance obligation recognized over time.  See above for further description of variable consideration identified in our contracts with customers.

· We expense all marketing and sales costs as they are incurred.

· We exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on a specified transaction concurrent with the closing thereof and are collected by us from a customer.

We do not believe that the use of these practical expedients materially impacted the unaudited consolidated financial statements and disclosures herein.

The following represents the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share data):

On March 7, 2018, we filed our 2017 Annual Report which included in Item 8 – Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements the expected impacts to the reported results of the retrospective adjustments to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.  Subsequent to the March 7, 2018 filing date, we revised our calculation of the expected impact of the retrospective adoption of this standard, and the amounts included in the above tables reflect these revisions.  Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition did not impact our consolidated cash flow statements. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which is intended to clarify the determination of whether a company has acquired or sold a business.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidations, and the standard aims to help entities determine whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses.  The standard is expected to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset purchases instead of business combinations.  The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the prospective transition method.  The adoption of this standard resulted in our acquisition of Éilan Hotel & Spa in April 2018 being accounted for as an asset acquisition and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized as part of the assets acquired.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (“ASU 2018-05”). ASU 2018-05 amended ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), for the guidance previously provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), related to the application of ASC 740 in the reporting period in which the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”) was signed into law. Our adoption of ASU 2018-05 as of March 31, 2018 had no impact on our accounting for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the accounting for income taxes for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to our operations which have not been adopted as of September 30, 2018: 

“ASU 2016-02” – “Leases (Topic 842)”, as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11. This standard will require assets and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet of a lessee for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets with terms of more than 12 months. For income statement purposes, the standard retained a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on largely similar criteria to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. This standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing leases.

This standard, which will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, permits two methods of adoption: a modified retrospective transition method or an optional transition method. The modified retrospective transition method applies the standard’s transition guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented in an entity’s financial statements, which results in financial statements for current periods that are comparable to the financial statements for the prior periods presented. The optional transition method applies the transition guidance on the date of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under this transition method, comparable periods in an entity’s financial statements in the year of adoption would continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, including the disclosures of Topic 840.

We expect that the implementation of this new standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as we had aggregate future minimum lease payments of $40.2 million at September 30, 2018 under our current non-cancelable lease agreements with various expirations dates between 2018 and 2056.We anticipate the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to these leases on our consolidated balance sheets.

We anticipate adopting the standard on January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method and, accordingly, will not apply the new guidance in comparable periods presented in our financial statements in the year of adoption. We anticipate electing certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the standard, including the package of practical expedients which would allow us to not have to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs.We also expect to make accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset (i) to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases which qualify with a term of twelve months or less and (ii) to not separate non-lease components from lease components. If the election is made to not separate non-lease components from lease components,  each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with that lease component will instead be accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.

We are currently in the process of evaluating our existing lease portfolio, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for leases under this standard. Other significant implementation matters include assessing the impact on our internal control over financial reporting and documenting and implementing new processes for accounting for our lease agreements. 

ASU No. 2016-13 – “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and will expand the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for loan losses. In addition, the standard will require entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning on January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance as a % of gross notes receivable		23%		22%

(1) Notes receivable secured by homesites were originated through a business, substantially all the assets of which were sold by us in 2012.

The weighted-average interest rate on our notes receivable was 15.1% and 15.3%at September 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, respectively.  All of our VOI loans bear interest at fixed rates.  The weighted-average interest rate charged on our notes receivable secured by VOIs was 15.2% and 15.3% at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. 

Credit Quality for Financed Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The activity in our allowance for loan losses (including with respect to our homesite notes receivable) was as follows (in thousands):

	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
		2018		2017
Balance, beginning of period	$	123,791	$	120,270
Provision for loan losses		35,866		32,066
Less: Write-offs of uncollectible receivables		(31,358)		(31,581)
Balance, end of period	$	128,299	$	120,755

We monitor the credit quality of our receivables on an ongoing basis.  We hold large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assess uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties.  In estimating future credit losses, management does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates our VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the age of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers.

The percentage of gross notes receivable outstanding by FICO score at origination, were as follows:

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
FICO Score
700+	56.00	%	54.00	%
600-699	40.00		41.00
<600	3.00		3.00
No Score (1)	1.00		2.00
Total	100.00	%	100.00	%

⁽¹⁾ VOI notes receivable without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers. 

The following table shows the delinquency status of our VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable Interest Entities

4.  Variable Interest Entities

We sell VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to us and are designed to provide liquidity for us and to transfer the economic risks and 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. We service the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties based on market conditions at the time of the securitization.

In these securitizations, we generally retain a portion of the securities and continue to service the securitized notes receivable. Under these arrangements, the cash payments received from obligors on the receivables sold are generally applied monthly to pay fees to service providers, make interest and principal payments to investors, and fund required reserves, if any, with the remaining balance of such cash retained by us; however, to the extent the portfolio of receivables fails to satisfy specified performance criteria (as may occur due to, among other things, an increase in default rates or credit loss severity) or other trigger events occur, the funds received from obligors are required to be distributed on an accelerated basis to investors. Depending on the circumstances and the transaction, the application of the accelerated payment formula may be permanent or temporary until the trigger event is cured. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all material terms under our securitization transactions, and no trigger events had occurred.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, we analyze our variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, guarantees, and equity investments, todetermine if an entity in which we have a variable interest is a VIE. The analysis includes a review of both quantitative and qualitative factors.We base our quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity.  We base our qualitative analysis on the structure of the entity,including our decision-making ability and authority with respect to the entity, and relevant financial agreements. We alsouse a qualitative analysis to determine if we must consolidate a VIE as the primary beneficiary. In accordance with applicableaccounting guidance, we have determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary and,therefore, we consolidate the entities into our financial statements.

Under the terms of certain of our VOI note sales, we have the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes for new notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest.  Our voluntary repurchases and substitutions of defaulted notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4.4 million and$7.4 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss relating to our non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

The assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs are as follows (in thousands):

	As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Restricted cash	$	17,081	$	19,488
Securitized notes receivable, net		308,221		279,188
Receivable backed notes payable - non-recourse		335,680		336,421

The restricted cash and the securitized notes receivable balances disclosed in the table above are restricted to satisfy obligations of the VIEs.

Pacific Western Term Loan.  We had a non-revolving term loan (the “Pacific Western Term Loan”) with Pacific Western Bank, as successor-by-merger to CapitalSource Bank, secured by unsold inventory and undeveloped land at the Bluegreen Odyssey Dells Resort. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we repaid in full the then outstanding balance of the Pacific Western Term Loan. 

NBA Line of Credit.  Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations had a revolving line of credit (the “NBA Line of Credit”) with the National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”) with a borrowing limit of $20.0 million. The NBA Line of Credit provided for a revolving advance period expiring in September 2020 and maturity in March 2025 and was secured by unsold inventory and a building under construction at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ The Cliffs at Long Creek Resort. Interest payments were paid monthly. Principal payments were effected through release payments upon sales of VOIs in The Cliffs at Long Creek Resort that served as collateral for the NBA Line of Credit, subject to mandatory principal reductions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we repaid in full the then outstanding balance of the NBA Line of Credit. In connection with such repayment, availability under the NBA Receivables Facility described below was increased by $20.0 million and there is no further availability under this line.

NBA Éilan Loan.  On April 17, 2018, we purchased the Éilan Hotel & Spa in San Antonio, Texas for approximately $34.3 million.  In connection with the acquisition, we entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan (the “NBA Éilan Loan”) with NBA.  The NBA Éilan Loan provides for advances of up to $27.5 million, $24.3 million of which was used to fund the acquisition of the resort and up to an additional $3.2 million which may be drawn upon to fund certain future improvement costs over a 12-month advance period. Principal payments will be effected through release payments from sales of VOIs at Éilan Hotel & Spa that serve as collateral for the NBA Éilan Loan, subject to a minimum amortization schedule, with the remaining balance due at maturity in April 2023. Borrowings under the NBA Éilan Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a floor of 4.75%.  As of September 30, 2018, there was $24.3 million outstanding on the NBA Éilan Loan.

Except as described above, there were no new debt issuances or significant changes related to the above listed lines-of-credit or notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our other lines-of-credit and notes payable listed above.

Except as described below, there were no new debt issuances or significant changes related to the above listed facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. 

Liberty Bank Facility.  We have maintained a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Liberty Bank Facility”) with Liberty Bank which provides for advances on eligible receivables pledged under the Liberty Bank Facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. On March 12, 2018, the Liberty Bank Facility was amended and restated to extend the revolving credit period from March 2018 to March 2020, extend the maturity date from November 2020 until March 2023, and amend the interest rate on borrowings as described below. Subject to its terms and conditions, the Liberty Bank Facility provides for advances of (i) 85% of the unpaid principal balance of Qualified Timeshare Loans assigned to agent, and (ii) 60% of the unpaid principal balance of Non-Conforming Timeshare Loans assigned to agent, during the revolving credit period of the facility. Maximum permitted outstanding borrowings under the Liberty Bank Facility are $50.0 million, subject to the terms of the facility. Through March 31, 2018, borrowings under the Liberty Bank Facility bore interest at the Wall Street Journal (“WSJ”) Prime Rate plus 0.50% per annum, subject to a 4.00% floor.  Pursuant to the March 2018 amendment to the Liberty Bank Facility, effective April 1, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the WSJ Prime Rate, subject to a 4.00% floor. Principal and interest due under the Liberty Bank Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

NBA Receivables Facility.   Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations has a revolving VOI hypothecation facility (the “NBA Receivables Facility”) with National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”). The NBA Receivables Facility provides for advances at a rate of 85% on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to eligible collateral and specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period expiring in September 2020 and allows for maximum borrowings of up to $70.0 million (inclusive of the $20.0 million increase in availability described above). The maturity date for the facility is March 2025.  The interest rate applicable to future borrowings under the NBA Receivables Facility is equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75% (with an interest rate floor of 3.50%). All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility, with the remaining balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

Pacific Western Facility.  We have a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Pacific Western Facility”) with Pacific Western Bank, which provides for advances on eligible VOI notes receivable pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. Maximum outstanding borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are $40.0 million, subject to eligible collateral and customary terms and conditions. On August 15, 2018, the Pacific Western Facility was amended to extend the revolving advance period from September 2018 to September 2021 and the maturity date from September 2021 until September 2024 (in each case, subject to an additional 12-month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank). Eligible “A” VOI notes receivable that meet certain eligibility and FICO score requirements, which we believe are typically consistent with loans originated under our current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The Pacific Western Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” VOI notes receivable (which have less stringent FICO score requirements) to be funded at a 53% advance rate. In addition, pursuant to the August 2018 amendment, effective September 21, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the Pacific Western Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 3.00%; provided, however, that a portion of the borrowings, to the extent such borrowings are in excess of established debt minimums, will bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75%. Until September 21, 2018, borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility continued to bear interest at the then prevailing interest rates under the facility, which ranged from 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% to 4.50%.  Principal repayments and interest on borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged VOI notes receivable, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving advance period, with the remaining outstanding balance being due by maturity, subject to the terms of the facility.

Quorum Purchase Facility.   We and Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations have a VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”), pursuant to which Quorum has agreed to purchase eligible VOI notes receivable in an amount of up to an aggregate $50.0 million purchase price, subject to certain conditions precedent and other terms of the facility. On April 6, 2018, the Quorum Purchase Facility was amended to extend the revolving purchase period from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2020, and provide for a fixed interest rate of 4.95% per annum on advances made through September 30, 2018. The interest rate on advances made after September 30, 2018 will be set at the time of funding based on rates mutually agreed upon by all parties. The amendment also reduced the loan purchase fee applicable to advances from 0.50% to 0.25% and extended the maturity of the Quorum Purchase Facility from December 2030 to December 2032.Of the amounts outstanding under the Quorum Purchase Facility at September 30, 2018, $5.0 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.75%,  $29.9 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.95%,  $2.7 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.0%, and $2.1 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.50%. The Quorum Purchase Facility provides for an 85% advance rate on eligible receivables sold under the facility, however, Quorum can modify this advance rate on future purchases subject to the terms and conditions of the Quorum Purchase Facility. Eligibility requirements for VOI notes receivable sold include, among others, that the obligors under the VOI notes receivable sold be members of Quorum at the time of the note sale. Subject to performance of the collateral, we or Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, as applicable, will receive any excess cash flows generated by the VOI notes receivable transferred to Quorum under the facility (excess meaning after payment of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI notes receivable. While ownership of the VOI notes receivable included in the Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivable is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The facility is nonrecourse.

See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our other receivable-backed notes payable facilities listed above.

2018-A Term Securitization.  In October 2018, we completed the 2018-A Term Securitization,  a private offering and sale of approximately $117.7 million of investment-grade, VOI receivable-backed notes (the "Notes"), including approximately  $49.8 million of Class A Notes, approximately $33.1 million of Class B Notes and approximately $34.8 million of Class C Notes with interest rates of 3.77%,  3.95% and 4.44%, respectively, which blends to an overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.02%. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 87.2%. The Notes mature in February 2034. KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyCM”) and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint bookrunners and co-lead managers and were the initial purchasers of the Notes. KeyCM also acted as structuring agent for the transaction.

The amount of the VOInotes receivables sold or to be sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2018-A (the “Trust”) is approximately $135.0 million, approximately $109.0 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $26.0 million of which is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to February 25, 2019. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $117.7 million. A portion of the proceeds received at the closing was used to: repay KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main (“DZ Bank”) approximately $49.2 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under our existing purchase facility with KeyBank and DZ Bank (the "KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $20.4 million under our existing Liberty Bank Facility; repay Pacific Western Bank approximately $7.1 million under our existing Pacific Western Bank Facility; capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. The remainder of the proceeds from the 2018-A Term Securitization are expected to be used by us for general corporate purposes. As a result of the facility repayments described above, following the closing of the 2018-A Term Securitization, (i) there were no amounts outstanding under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $80.0 million on a revolving basis through December 31, 2019, (ii) there was approximately $19.1 million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50.0 million on a revolving basis through March 12, 2020, and (iii) there was approximately $9.6 million outstanding under the Pacific Western Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $40.0 million on a revolving basis through September 20, 2021, in each case, subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of each facility, respectively. Thus, subject to the foregoing approximately $76.7 million in the aggregate was available under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, Liberty Bank Facility and Pacific Western Facility as a result of the repayments.

Further, subject to performance of the collateral, we will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2018-A Term Securitization (meaning excess cash after payments of customary fees, interest, and principal under the 2018-A Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans.

While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2018-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOInotes receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

7.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).  The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:

Level 1:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2:	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The carrying amounts of financial instruments included in the consolidated financial statements and their estimated fair values are as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2018				As of December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	195,439	$	195,439	$	197,337	$	197,337
Restricted cash		54,892		54,892		46,012		46,012
Notes receivable, net		439,484		542,000		426,858		525,000
Lines-of-credit, notes payable, and receivable-
backed notes payable		571,284		572,964		521,312		529,400
Junior subordinated debentures		71,147		93,000		70,384		88,500

Cash and cash equivalents.  The amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Restricted cash.  The amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for restricted cash approximate fair value.

Notes receivable, net.  The fair value of our 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.

Lines-of-credit, notes payable, and receivable-backed notes payable. The amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for our lines of credit, notes payable, and receivable-backed notes payable, approximate fair value for indebtedness that provides for variable interest rates.  The fair value of our 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.

Junior subordinated debentures. The fair value of our 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.

Commitments And Contingencies

8.  Commitments and Contingencies

In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, we provide subsidies to certain HOAs to provide funds to operate and maintain vacation ownership properties in excess of assessments collected from owners of the VOIs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments related to such subsidies of $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  As of September 30, 2018, we were providing subsidies to ten HOAs and had $6.2 million accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date herein. As of December 31, 2017, we had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.

In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with a former executive in connection with his retirement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we agreed to make payments totaling approximately $2.9 million through March 2019. As of September 30, 2018, $1.2 million remained payable under this agreement. Also, during the second half of 2017, we commenced an initiative designed to streamline our operations in certain areas to facilitate future growth. Such initiative resulted in $5.8 million of severance accrued as of December 31, 2017 and $0.4 million accrued as of September 30, 2018. Such amounts are included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets herein.  

In March 2018, our Compensation Committee approved in principle the material terms of an Executive Leadership Incentive Plan (the “ELIP”), which provides for the grant of cash-settled performance units (“Performance Units”) and cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to participants in the ELIP.  It is contemplated that each participant will be granted award opportunities representing a percentage of his or her base salary (the “Target LTI”).  In the case of certain of our executive officers, the award will be divided 30% to SARs and 70% to Performance Units.  For other participants, including certain of our senior vice presidents, certain vice presidents and certain other employees, the award will be 100% in Performance Units. Performance Units will represent the right of the recipient to receive a cash payment based on the achievement of levels of EBITDA and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) during a two-year period.  SARs granted under the ELIP, upon exercise after vesting, will entitle the holder to a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess of the market price of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the SAR.  The SARs will vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant and have a five-year term. In March 2018, our Compensation Committee approved grants of 639,643 SARs at an exercise price of $19.72 per share to certain of our officers, as well as Performance Units to receive up to approximately $7.4 million in 2020, depending on actual results from the two years ending December 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2018, we had $3.7 million accrued for the ELIP included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In the ordinary course of business, we become subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, sale, marketing, or financing of VOIs or our other business activities.  Additionally, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, we become involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions and various other parties, and we also receive individual consumer complaints, as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorneys General. We take these matters seriously and attempt to resolve any such issues as they arise. 

Reserves are accrued for matters in which management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe that the aggregate liability relating to known contingencies in excess of the aggregate amounts accrued will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual costs of resolving legal claims, including awards of damages, may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims and may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

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, management 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 their claim.

On August 24, 2016, Whitney Paxton and Jeff Reeser filed a lawsuit against Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (“BVU”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain of its employees, seeking to establish a class action of former and current employees of BVU and alleging violations of plaintiffs’ rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (the “FLSA”) and breach of contract. The lawsuit also claims that the defendants terminated plaintiff Whitney Paxton as retaliation for her complaints about alleged violations of the FLSA. The lawsuit seeks damages in the amount of the unpaid compensation owed to the plaintiffs. During July 2017, a magistrate judge entered a report and recommendation that the plaintiffs’ motion to conditionally certify collective action and facilitate notice to potential class members be granted with respect to certain employees and denied as to others. During September 2017, the judge accepted the recommendation and granted preliminary approval of class certification. Based on that conditional class certification, all potential class members were provided Consent Forms to opt-in to the lawsuit, which opt-in period has since expired, and a set number of opt-ins has been determined (approximately 80).  Class-wide discovery was subsequently served and plaintiffs filed a Motion for Protective Order which is pending. We intend to seek to compel 59 of the currently named opt-in plaintiffs to submit their respective claims to arbitration on an individual basis. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On September 22, 2017, Stephen Potje, Tamela Potje, Sharon Davis, Beafus Davis, Matthew Baldwin, Tammy Baldwin, Arnor Lee, Angela Lee, Gretchen Brown, Paul Brown, Jeremy Estrada, Emily Estrada, Michael Oliver, Carrie Oliver, Russell Walters, Elaine Walters, and Mike Ericson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against us which asserted claims for alleged violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and the Florida False Advertising Law. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged the making of false representations in connection with our sales of VOIs, including representations regarding the ability to use points for stays or other experiences with other vacation providers, the ability to cancel VOI purchases and receive a refund of the purchase price and the ability to roll over unused points, and that annual maintenance fees would not increase. The complaint sought to establish a class of consumers who, since the beginning of the applicable statute of limitations, purchased VOIs from us, had their annual maintenance fees relating to our VOIs increased, or were unable to roll over their unused points to the next calendar year. The plaintiffs sought damages in the amount alleged to have been improperly obtained by us, as well as any statutory enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and equitable and injunctive relief. On November 20, 2017, we moved to dismiss the complaint and, in response, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint dropping the claims relating to the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and adding claims for fraud in the inducement and violation of the Florida Vacation Plan and Timesharing Act. On March 20, 2018, the plaintiffs withdrew their motion for class action certification and on March 23, 2018, the court ordered dismissal of the suit.  On April 24, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a new lawsuit against BVU, for substantially the same claims, but only on behalf of the 18 named individuals and not as a class action.  We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On January 4, 2018, Gordon Siu, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against BVU and Choice Hotels International, Inc. which asserted claims for alleged violations of California law that relates to the recording of telephone conversations with consumers. Plaintiff alleges that after staying at a Choice Hotels resort, defendants placed a telemarketing call to plaintiff to sell the Choice Hotels customer loyalty program and a vacation package at a Choice hotel via the Bluegreen Getaways vacation package program.  Plaintiff alleges that he was not timely informed that the phone conversation was being recorded and is seeking certification of a class comprised of other persons recorded on calls without their consent within one year before the filing of the original complaint.  After BVU moved to dismiss the complaint, plaintiff amended his complaint to dismiss one of the two causes of action in the original complaint on the basis that that particular statute only concerns land line phones. Plaintiff and Choice agreed to a confidential settlement and Choice has been dismissed from this lawsuit. Plaintiff seeks money damages and injunctive relief.  We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

On May 3, 2018, Katja Anderson and George Galloway, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against us which asserted violations of the Telephone Consumer Practices Act. The plaintiffs claimed that they received multiple telemarketing calls in the spring of 2015 despite their requests not to be called. Plaintiffs sought certification of a class of individuals in the United States who received more than one telephone call made by us or on our behalf within a 12-month period; to a telephone number that was registered with the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days. Plaintiffs sought money damages, attorneys’ fees and a court order requiring us to cease all unsolicited telephone calling activities. We moved to dismiss the lawsuit and, on August 13, 2018, this case was dismissed without prejudice.

On June 28, 2018, Melissa S. Landon, Edward P. Landon, Shane Auxier and Mu Hpare, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company and BVU asserting claims for alleged violations of the Wisconsin Timeshare Act, Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal referral selling, and Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal attorney’s fee provisions. Plaintiffs allegations include that we failed to disclose the identity of the seller of real property at the beginning of its initial contact with the purchaser; that we misrepresented who the seller of the real property was; that we misrepresented the buyer’s right to cancel; that we included an illegal attorney’s fee provision in the sales document(s); that we offered an illegal “today only” incentive to purchase; and that we utilize an illegal referral selling program to induce the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class consisting of all persons who, in Wisconsin, purchased from us one or more VOIs within six years prior to the filing of this lawsuit. Plaintiffs seek statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.

Commencing in 2015, it came to our attention that our collection efforts with respect to our VOI notes receivable were being impacted by a then emerging, industry-wide trend involving the receipt of  “cease and desist” letters from attorneys and timeshare exit companies purporting to represent certain VOI owners. Following receipt of these letters, we are unable to contact the owners unless allowed by law. We believe these attorneys and timeshare exit companies have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations and that such actions and our inability to contact the owners are a primary contributor to the increase in our annual default rates. Our average annual default rates have increased from 6.9% in 2015 to 8.4% in 2018. We also estimate that approximately 16.8% of the total delinquencies on our VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2018 related to VOI notes receivable subject to these letters. We have in a number of cases pursued, and we may in the future pursue, legal action against the VOI owners.

We have an exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides us with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through certain other means. As of September 30, 2018, we were selling vacation packages in 69 of Bass Pro’s stores.  We compensate Bass Pro based on VOI sales generated through the program. No compensation is paid to Bass Pro under the agreement on sales made at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ resorts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 14% and 15%, respectively, of our VOI sales volume. On October 9, 2017, Bass Pro advised us that it believed the amounts paid to it as VOI sales commissions should not have been adjusted for certain purchaser defaults. We previously had informed Bass Pro that the aggregate amount of such adjustments for defaults charged back to Bass Pro between January 2008 and June 2017 totaled approximately $4.8 million. While we believed and continue to believe that these adjustments were appropriate and consistent with both the terms and the intent of the agreements with Bass Pro, in October 2017, in order to demonstrate our good faith, we paid the amount at issue to Bass Pro pending future resolution of the matter.We have continued to make payments to Bass Pro as we believe appropriate and consistent with the agreements, which continue to be adjusted for defaults and Bass Pro has accepted these payments as historically calculated. Subsequently, and again more recently, Bass Pro has raised issues regarding adjustments for defaults and requested additional information regarding the calculation of commissions payable to Bass Pro and other amounts payable under the agreements, including reimbursements paid to us, as well as regarding the operations at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. We do not believe that the issues raised by Bass Pro have impacted current operations under the marketing agreement or relative to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.  We have formally responded to Bass Pro with our view on these matters and intend to provide Bass Pro with all appropriately requested information. Our agreements with Bass Pro provide that in the event of any dispute the CEOs of the companies will meet to work toward a resolution of the issues or disagreements between the parties. Accordingly, it is anticipated that such process will be followed in good faith and that the parties will appropriately resolve any issues. While we do not believe that any material additional amounts are due to Bass Pro as a result of these matters, our future results may be impacted by any change in the calculations utilized in connection with payments or reimbursements required under the agreements or if we are unable to resolve the issue.

Income Taxes

9.  Income Taxes 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With certain exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014 for federal returns and 2012 for state returns. 

Our effective income tax rate was approximately 27% and 39% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. In addition to changes or limitations to certain tax deductions, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanently lowers the corporate tax rate to 21% from the previous maximum rate of 35%, effective for tax years commencing January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21%, we were required by GAAP to revalue our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the date of enactment and to account for the resulting tax effects in continuing operations in the reporting period of enactment.  We recorded a one-time, after tax benefit of approximately $47.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2017 based on the revaluation of our net deferred tax liability.  The impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may differ, possibly materially, from the provisional amounts recorded due to among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions made by us, and additional regulatory guidance that may be issued.  Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in SAB 118 and ASU 2018-05.  We expect to complete our analysis prior to the end of 2018.

Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon our current estimated annual rate.  Our 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 we operate.

Certain of our state filings are under routine examination. While there is no assurance as to the results of these audits, we do not currently anticipate any material adjustments in connection with these examinations.

We are party to an Agreement to Allocate Consolidated Income Tax Liability and Benefits with BBX Capital and its other subsidiaries pursuant to which, among other customary terms and conditions, the parties agreed to file consolidated federal tax returns.  Under the agreement, the parties calculate their respective income tax liabilities and attributes as if each of them was a separate filer.  If any tax attributes of one party to the agreement are used by another party to the agreement to offset such other party’s tax liability, the party providing the benefit will receive an amount for the tax benefits realized.  We paid BBX Capital or its affiliated entities $7.1 millionand $13.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $21.0 million and $39.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement.

As of September 30, 2018, we did not have any significant amounts accrued for interest and penalties or recorded for uncertain tax positions.

BBX Capital may be deemed to be controlled by Alan B. Levan, Chairman of BBX Capital, and John E. Abdo, Vice Chairman of BBX Capital. Together, Messrs. Levan and Abdo maybe deemed to beneficially own shares of BBX Capital’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately  77% of BBX Capital’s total voting power. Mr. Levan and Mr. Abdo serve as our Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively.

In April 2015, pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries provided an $80.0 million loan to BBX Capital. Amounts outstanding on the loan bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum until July 2017 when the interest rate was reduced to 6% per annum. Payments of interest are required on a quarterly basis, with all outstanding amounts being due and payable at the end of the five-year term. BBX Capital is permitted to prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time, and prepayments will be required, to the extent necessary, in order for us or our subsidiaries to remain in compliance with covenants under outstanding indebtedness. During both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, we recognized $1.2 million of interest income on the loan to BBX Capital.   During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $3.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of interest income on the loan to BBX Capital.

We paid or reimbursed BBX Capital or its affiliated entities $0.6 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.3 and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, for management advisory, risk management, administrative and other services. We accrued $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the services described above as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  BBX Capital or its affiliates paid or reimbursed us $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.1 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, for other shared services.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was due to us from BBX Capital for these services.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid $0.6 million for the acquisition of VOI inventory from a company whose President is the son of David L. Pontius, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

11.  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.

We report our results of operations through two reportable segments: (i) sales of VOIs and financing; and (ii) resort operations and club management.

Our sales of VOIs and financing segment includes our marketing and sales activities related to the VOIs that we own, including VOIs we acquire under just-in-time and secondary market inventory arrangements, our sale of VOIs through fee-based-service arrangements with third-party developers, our consumer financing activities in connection with sales of VOIs that we own, and our title services operations through a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Our resort operations and club management segment includes our provision of management services activities for our Vacation Club and for a majority of the HOAs of the resorts within our Vacation Club. In connection with those services, we also provide club reservation services, services to owners and billing and collections services to our Vacation Club and certain HOAs. Additionally, we generate revenue within our resort operations and club management segment from our Traveler Plus program, food and beverage and other retail operations, our rental services activities, and our management of construction activities for certain of our fee-based developer clients.

The information provided for segment reporting is obtained from internal reports utilized by management. The presentation and allocation of results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. Due to the nature of our business, assets are not allocated to a particular segment, and therefore management does not evaluate the balance sheet by segment. 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.

The table below sets forth our segment information for the three months ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands):

Organization And Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation

Bluegreen Vacations Corporation is referred to in this report together with its consolidated subsidiaries as “Bluegreen Vacations,” “Bluegreen,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”. Bluegreen has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other future interim or annual periods. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K fi

Initial Public Offering

Initial Public Offering

The initial public offering of our common stock was closed on November 17, 2017.  In the initial public offering, we sold 3,736,723 shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. We received net proceeds of approximately $47.3 million from our sale of shares in the initial public offering.  In addition, BBX Capital Corporation (NYSE: BBX) (“BBX Capital”), our sole shareholder prior to the initial public offering, as selling shareholder, sold 3,736,722 shares of our common stock in the initial public offering, including 974,797 shares sold on December 5, 2017 pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by BBX Capital. BBX Capital continues to own 90% of our outstanding common stock. Our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on November 17, 2017 under the symbol “BXG.”  In connection with the initial public offering, we effected a 709,977-for-1 stock split. All share and per share amounts herein reflect, or are calculated after giving effect to, such stock split.

Our Business

Our Business

We are a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and manages resorts in leisure and urban destinations. Our resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 24  Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in our Vacation Club have the right to use a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). Our Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, among others. Through our points-based system, the approximately 216,000 owners in our Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of our resorts and have access to approximately 11,100 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. We have a robust sales and marketing platform supported by exclusive marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands, such as Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. These marketing relationships drive sales within our core demographic.

Prior to 2009, our vacation ownership business consisted solely of the sale of VOIs in resorts that we developed or acquired (“developed VOI sales”). While we continue to conduct such sales and development activities, we now also derive a significant portion of our revenue from our capital-light business model, which utilizes our expertise and infrastructure to generate both VOI sales and recurring revenue from third parties without the significant capital investment generally associated with the development and acquisition of resorts. Our capital-light business activities include sales of VOIs owned by third-party developers pursuant to which we are paid a commission (“fee-based sales”) and sales of VOIs that we purchase under just-in-time (“JIT”) arrangements with third-party developers or from secondary market sources. In addition, we provide resorts and resort developers with other fee-based services, including resort management, mortgage servicing, title services and construction management. We also offer financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.

Principles Of Consolidation And Basis Of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest, including Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC (a joint venture in which we are deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on our 51% equity interest, our active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and our majority voting control of its management committee, (“Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations”) and variable interest entities (sometimes referred to herein as “VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Consolidations (Topic 810). We do not consolidate the statutory business trusts formed by us to issue trust preferred securities as these entities represent VIEs in which we are not the primary beneficiary. The statutory business trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Reclassification Of Prior Period Presentation

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Sales of VOIs.  Revenue is recognized for sales of VOIs after control of the VOI is deemed transferred to the customer, which is when the legal rescission period has expired on a binding executed VOI sales agreement and the collectability of the note receivable from the buyer, if any, is reasonably assured.  Transfer of control of the VOI to the buyer is deemed to occur when the legal rescission period expires as the risk and rewards associated with VOI ownership are transferred to the buyer at that time.  We record customer deposits from contracts within the legal rescission period in Restricted cash and Accrued liabilities and other in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as such amounts are refundable until the legal rescission period has expired.  In cases where construction and development of our developed resorts has not been substantially completed, we defer all of the revenues and associated expenses for the sales of VOIs until construction is substantially complete and the resort may be occupied.

We generally, offer qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs.  The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate, is fully amortizing in equal installments and may be prepaid without penalty.  For sales of VOIs for which we provide financing, we have reduced the transaction price for expected loan losses which we consider to be variable consideration. Our estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of our static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable. Our policies regarding the estimation of variable consideration on our notes receivable are discussed in further detail under “Notes Receivable” below. VOI Sales where no financing was provided do not have any material significant payment terms. 

Under timeshare accounting rules, rental operations, including accommodations provided through the use of our sampler program, are accounted for as incidental operations whereby incremental carrying costs in excess of incremental revenues are expensed as incurred. During each of the periods presented, our aggregate rental revenue and sampler revenue was less than the aggregate carrying cost of our VOI inventory.  Accordingly, we recorded such revenue as a reduction to the carrying cost of VOI inventory which is included in Cost of other fee-based services in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for each period.

Fee-based sales commission revenue.  Fee-based sales commission revenue is recognized when a sales transaction with a VOI purchaser is consummated in accordance with the terms of the fee-based sales agreement with the third-party developer, it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur and the related consumer rescission period has expired.

Other fee-based services revenue and cost reimbursements.  Revenue in connection with our other fee-based services (which are described below) is recognized as follows:

· Resort and club management revenue and related cost reimbursements are recognized as services are rendered.  These services provided to the resort homeowner associations (“HOAs”) are comprised of day-to-day services to operate the resort, including management services and certain accounting and administrative functions.  Management services provided to the Vacation Club include managing the reservation system and providing owner, billing and collection services.  Our management contracts are typically structured as cost-plus with an initial term of three years and automatic one-year renewals. We believe these services to be a series of distinct goods and services to be accounted for as a single performance obligation over time and recognize revenue as the customer receives the benefits of our services.  We allocate variable consideration to the distinct good or service within the series, such that revenue from management fees and cost reimbursements is recognized in each period as the uncertainty with respect to such variable consideration is resolved.

· Resort title fee revenue is recognized when escrow amounts are released and title documents are completed.

· Rental revenues are recognized on a daily basis which is consistent with the period for which the customer benefits from such service.  Revenue from the sampler program is typically recognized within a year from sale as guests complete stays at the resorts.

· Mortgage servicing revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.

Our cost of other fee-based services consists of the costs associated with the various activities described above, as well as developer subsidies and maintenance fees on our unsold VOIs.

Interest Income.  We provide financing for a significant portion of sales of our owned VOIs.  We recognize interest income from financing VOI sales on the accrual method as earned based on the outstanding principal balance, interest rate and terms stated in each individual financing agreement.  See “Notes Receivable” below for further discussion of the policies applicable to our VOI notes receivable.

Notes Receivable

Notes Receivable

Our notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days contractually past due and is not resumed until such loans are less than 90 days past due.  As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $17.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of our VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, consistent with our policy, were not accruing interest income.  After 120 days, our VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan losses.

To the extent we determine that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized may occur, we record an estimate of variable consideration as a reduction to the transaction price of the sales of VOIs until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.  Our estimates of the variable consideration are based on the results of our static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectibles for each period’s sales over the entire life of the notes. We also consider whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions, as well as variations in underwriting standards. We review our estimate of variable consideration on at least a quarterly basis.  Loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related notes receivable.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)” as subsequently amended (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 replaced numerous requirements in GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.  The new standard specifies how and when to recognize revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle-based framework and requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective method and accordingly, prior period results have been adjusted to apply the new standard, as shown below. 

We have elected to use the following practical expedients in connection with our adoption of ASU 2014-09: 

· We utilize the transaction price upon completion of the contract for certain contracts with customers.

· We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or unsatisfied performance obligations or unsatisfied promises to transfer a distinct good or service that forms a part of a single performance obligation recognized over time.  See above for further description of variable consideration identified in our contracts with customers.

· We expense all marketing and sales costs as they are incurred.

· We exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on a specified transaction concurrent with the closing thereof and are collected by us from a customer.

We do not believe that the use of these practical expedients materially impacted the unaudited consolidated financial statements and disclosures herein.

The following represents the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share data):

On March 7, 2018, we filed our 2017 Annual Report which included in Item 8 – Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements the expected impacts to the reported results of the retrospective adjustments to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 due to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.  Subsequent to the March 7, 2018 filing date, we revised our calculation of the expected impact of the retrospective adoption of this standard, and the amounts included in the above tables reflect these revisions.  Adoption of the standard related to revenue recognition did not impact our consolidated cash flow statements. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which is intended to clarify the determination of whether a company has acquired or sold a business.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidations, and the standard aims to help entities determine whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses.  The standard is expected to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset purchases instead of business combinations.  The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the prospective transition method.  The adoption of this standard resulted in our acquisition of Éilan Hotel & Spa in April 2018 being accounted for as an asset acquisition and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized as part of the assets acquired.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (“ASU 2018-05”). ASU 2018-05 amended ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), for the guidance previously provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), related to the application of ASC 740 in the reporting period in which the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”) was signed into law. Our adoption of ASU 2018-05 as of March 31, 2018 had no impact on our accounting for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the accounting for income taxes for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to our operations which have not been adopted as of September 30, 2018: 

“ASU 2016-02” – “Leases (Topic 842)”, as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11. This standard will require assets and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet of a lessee for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets with terms of more than 12 months. For income statement purposes, the standard retained a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on largely similar criteria to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. This standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing leases.

This standard, which will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, permits two methods of adoption: a modified retrospective transition method or an optional transition method. The modified retrospective transition method applies the standard’s transition guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented in an entity’s financial statements, which results in financial statements for current periods that are comparable to the financial statements for the prior periods presented. The optional transition method applies the transition guidance on the date of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under this transition method, comparable periods in an entity’s financial statements in the year of adoption would continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, including the disclosures of Topic 840.

We expect that the implementation of this new standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as we had aggregate future minimum lease payments of $40.2 million at September 30, 2018 under our current non-cancelable lease agreements with various expirations dates between 2018 and 2056.We anticipate the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to these leases on our consolidated balance sheets.

We anticipate adopting the standard on January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method and, accordingly, will not apply the new guidance in comparable periods presented in our financial statements in the year of adoption. We anticipate electing certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the standard, including the package of practical expedients which would allow us to not have to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs.We also expect to make accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset (i) to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases which qualify with a term of twelve months or less and (ii) to not separate non-lease components from lease components. If the election is made to not separate non-lease components from lease components,  each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with that lease component will instead be accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.

We are currently in the process of evaluating our existing lease portfolio, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for leases under this standard. Other significant implementation matters include assessing the impact on our internal control over financial reporting and documenting and implementing new processes for accounting for our lease agreements. 

ASU No. 2016-13 – “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and will expand the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for loan losses. In addition, the standard will require entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). This standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning on January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 may have on our consolidated financial statements.
