BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a unitary savings bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Florida. The Companys principal asset is its investment in BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries. The Company has two reportable segments, BankAtlantic and the Parent Company.
BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, provides traditional retail banking services and a wide range of commercial banking products and related financial services through a broad network of community branches located in Florida.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Throughout this document, the term fair value in each case is an estimate of fair value as discussed herein.
In managements opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) as are necessary for a fair statement of the Companys consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2011, the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated stockholders equity and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011. The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the revised financial statement presentation for 2011. The Company adjusted the number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of earnings per share for prior periods due to the issuance of Class A Common Stock in July 2010 at a subscription price lower than the market price of the Companys Class A Common Stock (see note 12).
The principal amounts of loans in the Companys residential loan portfolios set forth in the table in Note 6 to the Companys financial statements in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 were incorrectly identified as reflecting loan-to-value ratios obtained as of the first quarter of 2010 when in fact the amounts instead reflected loan-to-value ratios as of the date of loan origination. The table below labeled As Corrected reflects loan-to-value ratios of the Companys residential loans as of December 31, 2010 based on first quarter of 2010 valuations. The table below labeled As Reported reflects the table contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 which reflects loan-to-value ratios of the Companys residential loans as of the date of loan origination.

2. Regulatory and Liquidity Considerations
Regulatory Considerations
On February 23, 2011, the Parent Company and BankAtlantic each entered into a Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the Parent Companys and BankAtlantics primary regulator. The Order to Cease and Desist to which the Parent Company is subject is referred to as the Company Order, the Order to Cease and Desist to which BankAtlantic is subject is referred to as the Bank Order and the Company Order and Bank Order are referred to collectively as the Orders. The OTS issued the Orders due to the Companys losses over the past three years, high levels of classified assets and inadequate levels of capital based on BankAtlantics risk profile as determined by the OTSs recent examination. The Parent Company submitted updated written plans to the OTS that address, among other things, how the Parent Company intends to maintain and enhance its and BankAtlantics capital and set forth the Parent Companys business plan for the year ending December 31, 2011. In addition, under the terms of the Company Order, the Parent Company is prohibited from taking certain actions without receiving the prior written non-objection of the OTS, including, without limitation, declaring or paying any dividends or other capital distributions and incurring certain indebtedness. The Parent Company is also required to ensure BankAtlantics compliance with the terms of the Bank Order as well as all applicable laws, rules, regulations and agency guidance.
Pursuant to the terms of the Bank Order, BankAtlantic is required to attain by June 30, 2011 and maintain a tier 1 (core) capital ratio equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 14%. At March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic had a tier 1 (core) capital ratio of 5.97% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.77%. Under the terms of the Bank Order, BankAtlantic has revised certain of its plans, programs and policies and submitted to the OTS certain written plans, including a capital plan, a revised business plan and a plan to reduce BankAtlantics delinquent loans and non-performing assets. If BankAtlantic fails to comply with the capital plan and/or fails to attain and maintain the increased capital ratio requirements, or upon any written request from the OTS, BankAtlantic is required to submit a contingency plan, which must detail actions which BankAtlantic would, in its case, take to either merge with or be acquired by another banking institution. BankAtlantic will not be required to implement such contingency plan until such time as it receives written notification from the OTS to do so. In addition, the Bank Order requires BankAtlantic to limit its asset growth and restricts BankAtlantic from originating or purchasing new commercial real estate loans or entering into certain material agreements, in each case without receiving the prior written non-objection of the OTS. Separately, the OTS has confirmed that it has no objection to BankAtlantic originating loans to facilitate the sale of certain assets or the renewal, extension or modification of existing commercial real estate loans, subject in each case to compliance with applicable regulations and bank policies. The Bank Order prohibits the payment of dividends and other distributions without the prior written non-objection of the OTS. The Orders also include certain restrictions on compensation paid to the senior executive officers of the Parent Company and BankAtlantic, and restrictions on agreements with affiliates.
The Parent Company and BankAtlantic will seek to meet the higher capital requirements of the Bank Order through the estimated financial impact upon consummation of the proposed sale to PNC Financial Services Group Inc. of BankAtlantics Tampa branch network anticipated to close in June 2011, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory requirements, and through other efforts that may include the issuance of the Companys Class A Common Stock through a public or private offering, and specifically through the rights offering to the Companys shareholders announced on May 2, 2011. BankAtlantic is also pursuing other initiatives to improve its regulatory capital position including operating strategies to increase revenues and to reduce non-interest expenses, asset balances and non-performing loans. There can be no assurance that the Parent Company or BankAtlantic will be able to execute these or other strategies in order to meet and maintain BankAtlantics new minimum regulatory capital levels by the required time frames.
Each Order became effective on February 23, 2011 and will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended by the OTS. No fines or penalties were imposed in connection with either Order. While the Orders formalize steps that the Company believes are already underway, if there is any material failure by the Parent Company or BankAtlantic to comply with the terms of the Orders, or if unanticipated market factors emerge, and/or if the Company is unable to raise required additional capital, successfully execute its plans, or comply with other regulatory requirements, then the OTS could take further action, which could include the imposition of fines and/or additional enforcement actions. Enforcement actions broadly available to regulators include the issuance of a capital directive, removal of officers and/or directors, institution of proceedings for receivership or conservatorship, and termination of deposit insurance. Any such action would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations and financial position.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Liquidity Considerations
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which reflects the realization of assets and the repayments of liabilities in the normal course of business. Both the Parent Company and BankAtlantic actively manage liquidity and cash flow needs. The Parent Company had cash of $13.1 million as of March 31, 2011. The Parent Company does not have debt maturing until March 2032 and has the ability to defer interest payments on its junior subordinated debentures until December 2013; however, based on current interest rates, accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $73.1 million would be due in December 2013 if interest is deferred until that date. The Parent Companys operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $6.4 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. BankAtlantics liquidity is dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and the availability of its lines of credit borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), as well as the Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs.
As of March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic had $760 million of cash and short-term investments and approximately $920 million of available unused borrowings, consisting of $589 million of unused FHLB line of credit capacity, $297 million of unpledged securities, and $34 million of available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve. However, such available borrowings are subject to regular reviews and may be terminated, suspended or reduced at any time at the discretion of the issuing institution or based on the availability of qualifying collateral. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, adverse litigation or regulatory actions, or deterioration in BankAtlantics financial condition may reduce the amounts it is able to borrow, make borrowings unavailable or make terms of the borrowings and deposits less favorable. As a result, BankAtlantics cost of funds could increase and the availability of funding sources could decrease. Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, the Company expects to be able to meet its obligations at least through March 31, 2012.

(1) | Real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICS) are pass-through entities that hold residential loans. Investors in these entities are issued ownership interests in the entities in the form of a bond. The securities are guaranteed by government agencies. |
There were no recurring liabilities measured at fair value in the Companys financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The valuation techniques and the inputs used in our financial statements to measure the fair value of our recurring financial instruments are described below.
The fair values of agency bonds, municipal bonds, taxable bonds, mortgage-backed securities and real estate mortgage conduit securities (REMICS) are estimated using independent pricing sources and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing uses a market approach valuation technique and Level 2 valuation inputs as quoted market prices are not available for the specific securities that the Company owns. The independent pricing sources value these securities using observable market inputs including: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other reference data in the secondary institutional market which is the principal market for these types of assets. To validate fair values obtained from the pricing sources, the Company reviews fair value estimates obtained from brokers, investment advisors and others to determine the reasonableness of the fair values obtained from independent pricing sources. The Company reviews any price that it determines may not be reasonable and requires the pricing sources to explain the differences in fair value or reevaluate its fair value.
11
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Equity securities are generally fair valued using the market approach and quoted market prices (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2 or Level 3) with inputs obtained from independent pricing sources, if available. We also obtain non-binding broker quotes to validate fair values obtained from matrix pricing. However, for certain equity and debt securities in which observable market inputs cannot be obtained, we value these securities either using the income approach and pricing models that we have developed or based on observable market data that we adjust based on our judgment of the factors we believe a market participant would use to value the securities (Level 3).
The fair value of foreign currency put options was obtained using the market approach and quoted market prices using Level 1 inputs as of December 31, 2010.

Loans Measured For Impairment
Impaired loans are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring non-homogenous impaired loans. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the loans collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or
12
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
properties, and we may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, we use our judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a consequence, the calculation of the fair value of the collateral uses Level 3 inputs. The Company generally uses third party broker price opinions or an automated valuation service to measure the fair value of the collateral for impaired homogenous loans in the establishment of specific reserves or charge-downs when these loans become 120 days delinquent. These third party valuations from real estate professionals also use Level 3 inputs in the determination of the fair values.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are valued using an income approach with Level 3 inputs as market quotes or sale transactions of similar loans are generally not available. The fair value is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in the loans held for sale portfolio. For non-performing loans held for sale the forecasted cash flows are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell adjusted for foreclosure expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until foreclosure and sale.
Impaired Real Estate Owned
Real estate is generally valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties. However, the appraisers or brokers use professional judgments in determining the fair value of the properties and we may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. As a consequence of using appraisals, broker price opinions and adjustments to appraisals, the fair values of the properties are considered Level 3 inputs.

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

Interest bearing deposits in other banks include $43.1 million of certificates of deposit guaranteed by the FDIC with maturities of less than one year. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short maturity of these certificates of deposit, the fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.
Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories.
The fair value of performing loans is calculated by using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. These fair values are estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimate of average maturity is based on BankAtlantics historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management assigns a credit risk premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on risk grades and delinquency status.
The fair value of tax certificates was calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that take into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments.
The fair value of FHLB stock is its carrying amount.
As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts, is shown in the above table at book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated by the discounted value of contractual cash flows with the discount rate estimated using current rates offered by BankAtlantic for similar remaining maturities.
The fair value of short-term borrowings is calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs. The Company discounts contractual cash flows based on current interest rates. The carrying value of these borrowings approximates fair value as maturities are generally less than thirty days.
The fair value of FHLB advances was calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs. The fair value was based on discounted cash flows using rates offered for debt with comparable terms to maturity and issuer credit standing.
The fair value of BankAtlantics subordinated debentures was based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate adjusted for non-performance risk.
In determining the fair value of all of the Companys junior subordinated debentures, the Company used NASDAQ price quotes available with respect to its $69.0 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures (public debentures). However, $257.0 million of the outstanding trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures are not traded, but are privately held in pools (private debentures) and with no trading markets, sales history, liquidity or readily determinable source for valuation. We have deferred the payment of interest with respect to all of our junior subordinated debentures as permitted by the terms of these securities. Based on the deferral status and the lack of liquidity and ability of a holder to actively sell such private debentures, the fair value of these private debentures may be subject to a greater discount to par and have a lower fair value than indicated by the public debenture price quotes. However, due to their private nature and the lack of a trading market, fair value of the private debentures was not readily determinable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and as a practical alternative, management used the NASDAQ price quotes of the public debentures to value all of the outstanding junior subordinated debentures whether privately held or public traded.

Beginning in December 2007, BankAtlantic terminated leases or sought to sublease properties that it had previously leased for future branch expansion. These operating leases were fair valued and the resulting valuation allowance impairments are accreted to rent expense until the leases are terminated or subleased. BankAtlantic is actively seeking tenants for potential sub-leases or unrelated third parties to assume the lease obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic terminated three operating leases and recovered $0.8 million of prior period lease termination costs.

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

Impaired loans without specific valuation allowances represent loans that were written-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, loans in which the collateral value less cost to sell was greater than the carrying value of the loan, loans in which the present value of the cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate was equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loan, or large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively measured for impairment.
The Company monitors collateral dependent loans and performs an impairment analysis on these loans quarterly. Generally, a full appraisal is obtained when a real estate loan is evaluated for impairment and an updated full appraisal is obtained within one year from the prior appraisal date, or earlier if management deems it appropriate based on significant changes in market conditions. In instances where a property is in the process of foreclosure, an updated appraisal may be
23
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
postponed beyond one year, as an appraisal is required on the date of foreclosure; however, such loans are subject to quarterly impairment analyses. Included in total impaired loans as of March 31, 2011 was $299.6 million of collateral dependent loans, of which $162.0 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and $137.6 million were measured by adjusting appraisals greater than six months old, as appropriate, to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date. Appraised values were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $18.3 million to reflect current market conditions with respect to 36 loans which did not have current appraisals due to estimated property value declines since the last appraisal dates.
As of March 31, 2011, impaired loans with specific valuation allowances had been previously written down by $47.8 million and impaired loans without specific valuation allowances had been previously written down by $92.7 million. BankAtlantic had commitments to lend $13.4 million of additional funds on impaired loans as of March 31, 2011.
Credit Quality Information
Management monitors net charge-offs, levels of classified loans, impaired loans and general economic conditions nationwide and in Florida in an effort to assess loan credit quality. The Company uses a risk grading matrix to monitor credit quality for commercial and small business loans. Risk grades are assigned to each commercial and small business loan upon origination. The loan officers monitor the risk grades and these risk grades are reviewed periodically by a third party consultant. The Company assigns risk grades on a scale of 1 to 13. A general description of the risk grades is as follows:
Grades 1 to 7 The loans in these risk grades are generally well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or guarantors or by the fair value, less cost to sell, of the underlying collateral.
Grades 8 to 9 Not used
Grade 10 These loans are considered to have potential weaknesses that deserve managements close attention. While these loans do not expose the Company to immediate risk of loss, if left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan.
Grade 11 These loans are considered to be inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or guarantors or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans in this grade have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan and there is a distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some credit loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
Grade 12 These loans are considered to have all the weaknesses of a Grade 11 with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of the Companys investment in the loan highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and fair values of the collateral.
Grade 13 These loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance on the Companys books as an asset is not warranted without the establishment of a specific valuation allowance or a charge-off. Such loans are generally charged down or completely charged off.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its portfolio of consumer loans secured by real estate utilizing loanto- value ratios at origination. The Companys experience indicates that default rates are significantly lower with loans that have lower loan to value ratios at origination.

7. Assets Held for Sale
In August 2010, BankAtlantic announced that, due to the rapidly changing environment in Florida and the banking industry, it decided to focus on its core markets in South Florida and BankAtlantic began seeking a buyer for its 19 branches located in the Tampa, Florida area. In January 2011, BankAtlantic agreed to sell its 19 branches and 2 related facilities in the Tampa area and the associated deposits to an unrelated financial institution. The purchasing financial institution has agreed to pay i) a 10% premium for the deposits plus ii) the net book value of the acquired real estate and substantially all of the fixed assets associated with the branches and facilities. The purchasing financial institution and BankAtlantic have each received regulatory approval for the transaction. The transaction is anticipated to close during June 2011, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory requirements.

10. 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 deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, types of customers, distribution systems and regulatory environments. The information provided for Segment Reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management. Results of operations are reported through two reportable segments: BankAtlantic and the Parent Company. BankAtlantic activities consist of the banking operations of BankAtlantic and the Parent Company activities consist of equity and debt financings, capital management and acquisition related expenses. Additionally, effective March 31, 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company purchased non-performing loans from BankAtlantic. As a consequence, the Parent Companys activities also include the operating results of the asset work-out subsidiary.
The following summarizes the aggregation of the Companys operating segments into reportable segments:
Reportable Segment |
Operating Segments Aggregated | |
BankAtlantic | Banking operations | |
Parent Company | BankAtlantic Bancorps operations, costs of acquisitions, asset and capital management and financing activities |
The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantics standby letters of credit are generally issued to customers in the construction industry guaranteeing project performance. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $7.1 million at March 31, 2011. BankAtlantic also issues standby letters of credit to commercial lending customers guaranteeing the payment of goods and services. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $1.5 million at March 31, 2011. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and have maturities of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. BankAtlantic may hold certificates of deposit and residential and commercial liens as collateral for such commitments. Included in other liabilities at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $35,000 and $34,000, respectively, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations associated with these guarantees recorded in the financial statements.
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its bank operations, lending and tax certificates. Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters and timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict and uncertain.
Reserves are accrued for matters in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. These accrual amounts as of March 31, 2011 are not material to the Companys financial statements. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for these claims.
A range of reasonably possible losses is estimated for matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred or that a loss is probable but not reasonably estimable. Management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses as $5.9 million to $16.6 million in excess of the accrued liability relating to these legal matters. This estimated range of reasonably possible losses represents the estimated possible losses over the life of such legal matters, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent the Companys maximum loss exposure.
In certain matters we are unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments in the case provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.
We believe that liabilities arising from litigation and regulatory matters, discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, will not have a material impact to the Companys financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, we may incur losses in excess of accrued amounts and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to the Companys financial statements.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
The following is a description of ongoing litigation and regulatory matters:
Class action securities litigation
In October 2007, the Company and current or former officers of the Company were named in a lawsuit which alleges that during the period of November 9, 2005 through October 25, 2007, the Company and the named officers knowingly and/or recklessly made misrepresentations of material fact regarding BankAtlantic and specifically BankAtlantics loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses. The Complaint seeks to assert claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and seeks unspecified damages. On November 18, 2010, a jury returned a verdict awarding $2.41 per share to shareholders who purchased shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock during the period of April 26, 2007 to October 26, 2007 who retained those shares until the end of the period. The jury rejected the plaintiffs claim for the six month period from October 19, 2006 to April 25, 2007. Prior to the beginning of the trial, the plaintiffs abandoned any claim for any prior period. On April 25, 2011, the Court granted defendants post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law and vacated the jury verdict, resulting in a judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims. On May 5, 2011, defendants filed a motion for sanctions against plaintiffs and their counsel seeking reimbursement of their attorneys fees and costs incurred in connection with this lawsuit. The plaintiffs have indicated that they intend to appeal the Courts order setting aside the jury verdict.
In July 2008, the Company, certain officers and Directors were named in a lawsuit which alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in certain lending practices with respect to the Companys Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio. The Complaint further alleges that the Companys public filings and statements did not fully disclose the risks associated with the Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio and seeks damages on behalf of the Company. The case has been stayed pending final resolution of the class action securities litigation.
On May 6, 2011, the Court instructed plaintiffs counsel to narrow the claims and defendants in accord with the Courts rulings in the class action securities litigation. The Court then invited defendants to move for summary judgment as to any remaining of such claims and defendants, and expressed considerable doubt as to the viability of any claims in light of the judgments entered in favor of defendants in the securities class action. Based on the Courts instructions, we believe this case will be resolved favorably to the Company and the individual defendants.
Class Action Overdraft Processing Litigation
In November 2010, the two pending class action complaints against BankAtlantic associated with overdraft fees were consolidated. The Complaint, which asserts claims for breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, alleges that BankAtlantic improperly re-sequenced debit card transactions from largest to smallest, improperly assessed overdraft fees on positive balances, and improperly imposed sustained overdraft fees on customers. BankAtlantic has filed a motion to dismiss which is pending with the Court.
Office of Thrift Supervision Overdraft Processing Investigation
On January 6, 2011, the Office of Thrift Supervision advised BankAtlantic that it had determined, subject to receipt of additional information from BankAtlantic, that BankAtlantic had engaged in deceptive and unfair practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act relating to certain of BankAtlantics deposit-related products. The OTS provided BankAtlantic the opportunity to respond with any additional or clarifying information, and BankAtlantic submitted a written response to the OTS on February 7, 2011 addressing the OTSs position.
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
The Company has received a notice of investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC) Miami Regional Office and subpoenas for information. The subpoenas request a broad range of documents relating to, among other matters, recent and pending litigation to which the Company is or was a party, certain of the Companys non-performing, non-accrual and charged-off loans, the Companys cost saving measures, loan classifications, BankAtlantic Bancorps asset workout subsidiary, and the recent Orders with the OTS entered into by the Parent Company and BankAtlantic. Various current and former employees have also received subpoenas for documents and testimony. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC.
The Company has received a letter from the Miami regional office staff of the SEC indicating that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil action against the Company alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
32
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
The Company has also been informed that its chief executive officer received a similar letter. Although the letters do not state the grounds for such recommendations, in communications between the Companys counsel and the Miami regional office staff, the Company has learned that the basis for the recommended actions were many of the same arguments brought in the private class action securities litigation recently concluded at the district court level in favor of the Company and the individual defendants. In addition, the Miami regional office staff raised issues relating to the classification and valuation of certain loans included in the Companys financial information for the last quarter of 2007 and in its annual report on Form 10-K for the 2007 fiscal year. If litigation is brought, the SEC may seek remedies including an injunction against future violations of federal securities laws, civil money penalties and an officer and director bar. The Company believes that it has fulfilled all of its obligations under securities laws and, if such actions are brought by the SEC against the Company and/or any of its officers, such actions would be vigorously defended.
Concentration of Credit Risk
BankAtlantic has a high concentration of its consumer home equity and commercial loans in the State of Florida. Real estate values and general economic conditions have significantly deteriorated since the origination dates of these loans. If market conditions in Florida do not improve or deteriorate further, BankAtlantic may be exposed to significant credit losses in these loan portfolios.
BankAtlantic purchases residential loans located throughout the country. The majority of these residential loans are jumbo residential loans. A jumbo loan has a principal amount above the industry-standard definition of conventional conforming loan limits. These loans could potentially have outstanding loan balances significantly higher than related collateral values in distressed areas of the country as a result of the decline in real estate values in residential housing markets. Also included in this purchased residential loan portfolio are interest-only loans. The structure of these loans results in possible increases in a borrowers loan payments when the contractually required repayments change due to interest rate movement and the required amortization of the principal amount. These payment increases could affect a borrowers ability to meet the debt service on or repay the loan and lead to increased defaults and losses. At March 31, 2011, BankAtlantics residential loan portfolio included $494.1 million of interest-only loans, which represents 47.3% of the residential loan portfolio. Interest-only residential loans scheduled to become fully amortizing during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and during the year ended December 31, 2012 are $32.6 million and $53.2 million, respectively. If market conditions in the areas where the collateral for our residential loans is located do not improve or deteriorate further, BankAtlantic may be exposed to additional losses in this portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 486,577 and 768,632, respectively, of options to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock were anti-dilutive. Restricted non-vested Class A common stock outstanding of 1,152,650 and 1,694,800 were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
On July 20, 2010, the Company completed a rights offering of Class A Common Stock to its shareholders at a subscription price that was lower than the market price of the Companys Class A Common Stock. As a consequence, the rights offering was deemed to contain a bonus element that is similar to a stock dividend requiring the Company to adjust the weighted average number of common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in prior periods retrospectively by a factor of 1.0051.
13. New Accounting Pronouncements
Update Number 2011-02 Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR). This update to Receivables (Topic 310) provides guidance for a creditors evaluation of whether a loan modification constitutes a TDR. A modification of debt constitutes a TDR when the creditor, for economic reasons related to the debtors financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower. This update provides guidance on determining whether a debtor is having financial difficulties and whether a creditor has granted a concession. The effective date of this update is for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2011, and must be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the current year. The Company believes that the new guidance will not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company, which may also be referred to as we, us, or our) for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The principal assets of BankAtlantic Bancorp consist of its ownership in BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and its subsidiaries (BankAtlantic).
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this document contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties.

In addition to the risks and factors identified above, reference is also made to other risks and factors detailed in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for uncertain tax positions, accounting for contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The four accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are: (i) allowance for loan losses; (ii) valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value; (iii) impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill; and (iv) the accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see Critical Accounting Policies appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period:
The decrease in BankAtlantics loss during the 2011 first quarter compared to the same 2010 quarter primarily resulted from a $6.6 million decrease in non-interest expenses and a $4.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in non-interest income and a $4.8 million decrease in net interest income.
The decrease in non-interest expenses reflects lower compensation and occupancy expenses associated with the consolidation of back-office facilities, workforce reductions, normal attrition, as well as declines in personnel related to reduced store lobby and call center hours. Additionally, BankAtlantic recognized $0.8 million in reversals of lease termination impairments upon the termination of three operating leases. These lower non-interest expenses were partially offset by higher professional fees and FDIC deposit insurance assessments. Professional fees increased $0.4 million associated primarily with legal costs associated with tax certificate activities as well as loan modifications and work-outs. FDIC deposit insurance assessment was $0.9 million higher primarily due to BankAtlantics regulatory risk profile.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses primarily related to an $8.3 million reduction in net charge-offs mainly in commercial and consumer loan products reflecting a slowing in the amount of loans migrating to a delinquency or non-accrual status compared to prior periods as well as significantly lower loan balances in our commercial real estate residential portfolio. Over the last four years, the majority of our loan losses were associated with our commercial residential real estate portfolio.
The lower non-interest income reflects declining revenues from service charges on deposits and lower gains on securities sales. The lower service charges on deposits reflect a substantial decrease in overdraft fees. We believe that the decline in overdraft fee income primarily resulted from a decline in the number of accounts incurring overdraft fees resulting from our efforts to seek customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances, as well as regulatory changes and changes in customer behavior. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, BankAtlantic sold $47.1 million of agency securities for a $3.1 million gain. There were no agency securities sold during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The lower net interest income resulted primarily from a significant reduction in earning assets, investments in low yielding short-term time deposits and securities and increases in non-performing assets. BankAtlantic has continued to seek to reduce its asset balances to improve its regulatory capital ratios.
The increase in the Parent Companys loss from continuing operations for the 2011 quarter compared to the same 2010 quarter primarily resulted from $1.9 million of real estate owned impairments and $0.4 million of additional valuation allowances on loans held for sale. The above impairments primarily resulted from updated property and collateral values associated with loans and real estate owned held by the Parent Companys asset workout subsidiary.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period:
The decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a reduction in earning assets, an increase in cash balances invested in low yielding investments and a reduction in the net interest margin.
The average balance of earning assets declined by $131.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period. The decline in average earning assets reflects a management decision to slow the origination and purchase of loans, sell agency securities and reduce the purchase of tax certificates. BankAtlantic also experienced significant residential loan repayments due to normal loan amortization as well as a significant amount of loan refinancings associated with low residential mortgage interest rates during 2010 and the first three months of 2011. BankAtlantic used a portion of the cash proceeds resulting from the above to purchase short-term investments, including: time deposits at other banks, agency securities, tax exempt securities and to maintain higher interest earning cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. The average balances at the Federal Reserve Bank were $553.9 million for the 2011 quarter compared to $162.2 million for the 2010 quarter. These short-term investments and interest earning cash balances were maintained in anticipation of funding the pending Tampa branch sale and to enhance liquidity and improve regulatory risk-based capital ratios.
Average loan balances declined from $3.8 billion for the 2010 first quarter to $3.1 billion for the 2011 first quarter while average investment balances increased from $603.9 million during the 2010 quarter to $1.1 billion during the 2011 first quarter. The majority of the increases in investment average balances were average balances at the Federal Reserve Bank yielding approximately 21 basis points during the first quarter of 2011.
The net interest margin declined due to a change in our interest earning asset mix from higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities to lower yielding short-term investments and interest earning cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. The decline in interest earning asset yields was partially offset by a decline in interest bearing liability interest rates.
The improvement in interest bearing liability interest rates primarily resulted from a decline in the average interest rates on deposits. The low average rates on deposits reflect the low interest rate environment and a significant reduction in certificate of deposit balances with a corresponding migration of customers to NOW and demand deposit transaction accounts. These accounts generally have lower interest costs than certificates of deposit. Additionally, BankAtlantic significantly reduced its intermediate term FHLB advance borrowings which typically have higher interest rates than short-term borrowings. Currently, BankAtlantics FHLB borrowings mature in less than one year.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Residential loan charge-offs increased significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period. The higher residential charge-offs reflect a decline in property values during the first quarter of 2011. We believe the property value declines resulted primarily from a lack of available residential loan financing, appraisals not supporting negotiated sales prices and higher residential property inventory resulting from foreclosures nationally.
Commercial real estate loan charge-offs declined due to lower charge-offs in BankAtlantics residential commercial loan portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic recognized $4.0 million of charge-offs related to four commercial residential loans, $6.8 million of charge-offs related to one commercial land loan and $0.5 million related to commercial other loans. These charge-offs were primarily due to lower updated property valuations. The specific valuation allowances on these loans as of December 31, 2010 were $10.1 million. During the first quarter of 2010, BankAtlantics commercial real estate charge-offs were entirely from commercial residential loans. The specific valuation allowances on these loans as of December 31, 2009 were $13.2 million.
The commercial non-mortgage loan charge-off was associated with one business loan in the real estate brokerage industry.
We believe that the decline in the consumer loan charge-offs reflects the stabilization of the unemployment rate and an improving economy in Florida. Additionally, BankAtlantic significantly reduced the origination and enhanced its underwriting criteria of home equity loans during 2008. As a consequence, loan delinquencies and charge-offs have declined as loan balances of loans originated prior to 2008 have declined.
Included in the small business loan charge-offs for the 2011 quarter was a $1.0 million charge-off of a small business mortgage loan. The remaining small business charge-offs were primarily associated with businesses in the real estate industry.
Historically, the majority of BankAtlantics charge-offs related to commercial real estate loans; however, BankAtlantic is experiencing certain unfavorable credit quality trends in its residential and small business loan portfolios which we believe reflects that the home building and construction industries in Florida have not shown signs of recovery. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period resulted primarily from lower loan delinquencies, a decline in loans migrating to non-accrual status and lower charge-offs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, as part of its management of non-performing assets, BankAtlantic transferred $25.1 million of residential and $2.5 million of commercial real estate non-accrual loans to loans held for sale with a view toward selling the loans in the foreseeable future. BankAtlantic transferred the loans at the lower of cost or fair value resulting in a $7.1 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses.
While we believe that there are some positive trends in the economy both in Florida and nationally that indicate that we may experience a decline in credit losses in future periods, if the housing and real estate industries do not improve or if general economic conditions do not continue to improve in Florida and nationwide, the credit quality of our loan portfolio may deteriorate and additional provisions for loan losses will be required. Additionally, we have a significant amount of variable interest rate loans in our portfolio and a substantial increase in interest rates in the future would increase the interest payments on these loans and could have an adverse effect on the credit quality of those loans.

Non-performing assets were slightly lower at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 due primarily to a decline in residential and commercial real estate non-accrual loans partially offset by higher small business and repossessed asset balances.
The decline in residential non-accrual loans was primarily the result of charge-offs and fair value adjustments associated with non-accrual residential loans transferred to loans held for sale. Also contributing to lower non-accrual
40
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
residential loans was a decline in delinquencies. Residential loans past due 30 to 90 days declined from $23.1 million at December 31, 2010 to $20.5 million at March 31, 2011. However, economic trends for residential loans deteriorated during the first quarter of 2011 as property values nationally generally declined and foreclosure timelines continue to be extended. If these trends continue, we would anticipate higher residential non-accrual loan balances and real estate owned in subsequent periods.
The decline in commercial real estate non-accrual loans primarily resulted from a decline in loans migrating to a non-accrual status. During the 2011 quarter, $17.2 million of loans migrated to a non-accrual status while $31.8 million of loans migrated to non-accrual during the 2010 quarter.
The higher balance of repossessed assets at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 resulted primarily from foreclosures of commercial real estate loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic transferred $6.8 million of loans to real estate owned and sold $4.4 million of REO properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, BankAtlantic transferred $8.1 million of loans to real estate owned and sold $3.2 million of REO properties. As non-accrual loans migrate into repossessed assets in the future, we expect repossessed assets to increase.
BankAtlantics troubled debt restructured loans at March 31, 2011 remained at December 31, 2010 levels. In response to current market conditions, BankAtlantic generally decides, on a case-by-case basis, whether to modify loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties and has modified the terms of certain commercial, small business, residential and consumer home equity loans. Generally, the concessions made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties have included a variety of modifications, including among others, the reduction of contractual interest rates, forgiveness of loan principal upon satisfactory performance under the modified terms, conversion of amortizing loans to interest only payments or the deferral of some interest payments to the maturity date of the loan. Loans that are not delinquent at the date of modification are generally not placed on non-accrual. Modified non-accrual loans are generally not returned to an accruing status and BankAtlantic does not reset days past due on delinquent modified loans until the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance under the modified terms, which is generally performance over a six month period.

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 resulted primarily from a decline in specific valuation allowances on commercial real estate and residential loans. The commercial real estate specific valuation allowance decline reflects a slowdown of loans migrating to an impaired classification. The residential loan specific reserve decline reflects the reduction in specific allowances associated with $25.1 million of non-performing loans transferring to loans held for sale as well as reductions in specific allowances associated with foreclosed residential loan activity. The general reserve for residential loans increased $8.3 million during the 2011 quarter reflecting increased charge-offs and declining collateral values. Consumer loan general reserves were reduced by $4.2 million due primarily to improvement in delinquency and charge-off trends as well as declining balances of loans originated prior to 2008.

The lower revenues from service charges on deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period resulted primarily from lower overdraft fee income. This decrease in overdraft fee income reflects a decline in the total number of accounts which incurred overdraft fees and a decrease in the frequency of overdrafts per deposit account. We believe that the decline in the number of accounts incurring overdraft fees reflected our efforts to seek
44
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances, regulatory changes, and changes in customer behavior. The Federal Reserve adopted new overdraft rules (effective July 1, 2010 for new customers and August 15, 2010 for existing customers), which among other requirements, prohibit banks from automatically enrolling customers in overdraft protection programs. Additionally, Congress has established a consumer protection agency which may further limit the assessment of overdraft fees. In response to the changing industry practices and regulations, BankAtlantic, during the fourth quarter of 2010, began converting certain deposit products to fee-based accounts that encourage higher checking account balances and the use of multiple bank products in order to eliminate or reduce fees. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2011, BankAtlantic revised its overdraft policies instituting a cap on the number of overdrafts, eliminating overdraft charges on small overdraft amounts and lowering the overdraft protection amount per day. We anticipate that these trends will continue and that our overdraft fee income will be lower in future periods partially offset by increased fees from new deposit products and expanded use of the banks fee services by deposit customers.
The decrease in other service charges and fees during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period resulted primarily from lower ATM interchange and surcharge income caused mostly by a lower volume of transactions on cruise ships.
In June 2010, BankAtlantic entered into a foreign currency derivative contract as an economic hedge of foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs and during the first quarter of 2011, BankAtlantic recognized a $24,000 loss in connection with these derivative contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, BankAtlantic sold $47.1 million of agency securities for a $3.1 million gain.
The increase in other non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period was primarily the result of $0.4 million of foreign currency exchange gains associated with foreign currency held in cruise ship ATMs as well as $0.3 million of higher commissions from the sales of investment products.

The decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period resulted primarily from workforce reductions, normal attrition as well as declines in personnel related to reduced store lobby and call center hours. As a result of the work force reductions and normal attrition, the number of full-time equivalent employees declined from 1,532 as of December 31, 2009 to 1,192 as of March 31, 2011. Additionally, employee and executive bonuses were $1.2 million lower during the 2011 quarter compared to the 2010 quarter. The decline in the workforce also resulted in reduced benefit costs compared to 2010, primarily health insurance, payroll taxes and share-based compensation.
The decline in occupancy and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period resulted primarily from $0.8 million of lower rent expense, building maintenance and real estate taxes related to the consolidation of back-office facilities and the termination of leases executed for branch expansion during prior periods.
The decrease in advertising and business promotion expense during the 2011 quarter compared to the same 2010 quarter related primarily to BankAtlantic focusing its marketing efforts on customer relationships and away from advertising and media and direct mail promotions.
The lower check losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 quarter were related primarily to revisions to our overdraft policies limiting the number of overdrafts per day and the dollar amount of overdrafts.
The higher professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period primarily resulted from legal and related costs in connection with tax certificate activities as well as loan modifications and work-outs.
The costs associated with debt redemptions during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 reflect prepayment penalties from the early repayment of FHLB advance obligations.
The provision for tax certificate losses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 reflects charge-offs and increases in tax certificate reserves for certain out-of-state certificates. We have significantly reduced the acquisition of out-of-state tax certificates and concentrate the majority of our tax certificate acquisitions in Florida.
Lease termination costs represent lease contracts, net of deferred rent reversals, originally executed for branch expansion. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic terminated three leases and recognized a
46
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
recovery of $1.2 million. The recovery was partially offset by $0.3 million of additional impairments on leases associated with updated valuations. BankAtlantic is attempting to sublease or terminate lease contracts executed in connection with its branch expansion in prior periods and could recognize losses associated with these operating leases in subsequent periods as these leases are measured at fair value.
The recovery of employee termination costs during the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects the forfeiture of termination benefits upon the re-hiring of terminated employees.
Impairment of loans held for sale represents lower of cost or market adjustments on loans classified as held for sale.

Net interest expense increased during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same 2010 quarter as a result of higher average debenture balances and interest rates. The average balances on junior subordinated debentures increased from $309 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to $323 million during the same 2011 quarter. The increase in average debenture balances resulted from the deferral of interest which began in March 2009. Average rates on junior subordinated debentures increased from 4.68% during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to 4.75% during the same 2011 quarter reflecting slightly higher LIBOR interest rates during the 2011 quarter compared to the 2010 quarter. Also included in net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $49,000 and $55,000, respectively, of interest income on two performing loans as well as $36,000 and $18,000, respectively, of investment interest income associated with investment securities.
Non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects $381,000 of equity earnings from the Parent Companys investment in statutory business trusts that issue trust preferred securities and $286,000 of fees for executive services provided to BankAtlantic. Also included in non-interest income was a loss of $99,000 from the sale of $1.7 million of loans held for sale. Non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2010 resulted primarily from $189,000 of equity earnings from statutory business trusts and $241,000 of fees for executive services provided by BankAtlantic.
The increase in non-interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 quarter related primarily to $1.9 million of real estate owned impairments resulting from updated property valuations and $427,000 of additional write-downs on loans held for sale. The above increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by $477,000 of lower compensation expenses associated with the elimination of executive bonuses during the 2011 period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Parent Company foreclosed on a $1.5 million commercial residential loan and sold a $1.7 million loan for a $99,000 loss. The work-out subsidiary also received $0.1 million of loan principal repayments during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and recognized a $20,000 recovery on a loan transferred to REO.
The Parent Companys non-accrual loans include large loan balance lending relationships. Two relationships account for 81.6% of the $11.4 million of non-accrual loans held by the Parent Company at March 31, 2011.

The loans that comprise the above relationships are all collateral dependent. As such, we established specific reserves or recognized partial charge-offs on these loans based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral was determined using third party appraisals for all relationships. Management performs quarterly impairment analyses on these credit relationships subsequent to the date of the appraisal and may reduce appraised values if market conditions significantly deteriorate subsequent to the appraisal date. However, our policy is to obtain a full appraisal within one year from the date of the prior appraisal, unless the loan is in the process of foreclosure. A full appraisal is generally obtained at the date of foreclosure.

The $4,000 recovery during the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflected funds received on loans previously charged-off. The recovery for loan losses primarily related to a $16,000 reduction of a specific valuation allowance on one loan.
The $4.3 million of charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily related to two loans. One loan was charged-down $2.7 million upon the foreclosure and sale of the collateral. The other loans entire balance of $1.2 million was charged-off upon the sale of the remaining collateral. The Parent Company established specific reserves of $5.7 million on these two loans in prior periods and recognized a recovery for loan losses on the sale of these loans during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
BankAtlantic Bancorp Consolidated Financial Condition
Total assets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $4.5 billion. The changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 are summarized below:
| Increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks primarily reflecting $200 million of higher cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank in anticipation of the pending Tampa branch sale; |
| Decrease in securities available for sale reflecting BankAtlantics receipt of repayments of short-term agency and municipal securities as well as mortgage-backed securities repayments; |
| Decrease in tax certificate balances primarily resulting from redemptions; |
| Increase in loans held for sale associated with the transfer of $25.1 million of non-performing residential loans to held for sale; |
| Decrease in loans receivable balances associated with $27.8 million of net-charge-offs, $6.7 million of loans transferred to REO, $3.1 million of loan sales, and repayments of loans in the ordinary course of business; |
| Decrease in accrued interest receivables resulting primarily from lower loan and tax certificate balances partially offset by higher agency and municipal securities balances; and |
| Decrease in office properties and equipment resulting primarily from depreciation. |
Total liabilities at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $4.5 billion. The changes in components of total liabilities from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 are summarized below:
| A decrease in interest bearing deposit account balances associated with lower interest bearing checking account and time deposit balances; |
| Increase in non-interest bearing deposits due primarily to higher average balances per customer account; |
| Lower FHLB advances and short term borrowings due to repayments using proceeds from deposit growth; and |
| Increase in junior subordinated debentures liability due to interest deferrals. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Currently, the Parent Companys principal source of liquidity is its cash and funds obtained from its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. The Parent Company also may obtain funds through the issuance of equity and debt securities and
49
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
through dividends, although no dividends from BankAtlantic are anticipated or contemplated for the foreseeable future. The Parent Company has used its funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, and fund operations, including funding servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses of its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. At March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp had approximately $326.0 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding with maturities ranging from 2032 through 2037. The aggregate annual interest obligations on this indebtedness totaled approximately $14.5 million based on interest rates at March 31, 2011, which are generally indexed to three-month LIBOR. In order to preserve liquidity in the current economic environment, the Parent Company elected in February 2009 to commence deferring interest payments on all of its outstanding junior subordinated debentures and to cease paying cash dividends on its common stock. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures and the trust documents allow the Parent Company to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period, the respective trusts have suspended the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities. The deferral election began as of March 2009, and regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments aggregating $31.8 million that would otherwise have been paid during the 27 months ended March 31, 2011 were deferred. The Parent Company has the ability under the junior subordinated debentures to continue to defer interest payments for up to another 11 consecutive quarterly periods through ongoing appropriate notices to each of the trustees, and will make a decision each quarter as to whether to continue the deferral of interest. During the deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the junior subordinated debentures at the stated coupon rate, including on the deferred interest, and the Parent Company will continue to record the interest expense associated with the junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period, the Parent Company may not, among other things and with limited exceptions, pay cash dividends on or repurchase its common stock nor make any payment on outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the junior subordinated debentures. The Parent Company may end the deferral period by paying all accrued and unpaid interest. The Parent Company anticipates that it will continue to defer interest on its junior subordinated debentures and will not pay dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future. If the Parent Company continues to defer interest on its junior subordinated debentures through the year ended December 31, 2013, it will owe an aggregate of approximately $73.1 million of unpaid interest based on average interest rates as of March 31, 2011. The Companys financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected if interest payments continue to be deferred.
The Parent Company has not received dividends from BankAtlantic since the year ended December 31, 2008. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Parent Company in subsequent periods is subject to the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) approval as provided in the Bank Order. It is unlikely that the OTS will approve a dividend from BankAtlantic based on BankAtlantics regulatory capital levels. As such, the Parent Company does not expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic for the foreseeable future. The Parent Company may receive dividends from its asset work-out subsidiary upon the monetizing of the subsidiaries non-performing loans and real estate owned. However, the Parent Company may not be able to monetize the loans or real estate owned on acceptable terms, if at all.
In February 2010, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering to offer, from time to time, up to $75 million of Class A Common Stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, warrants or debt securities. A description of the securities offered and the expected use of the net proceeds from any sales will be outlined in a prospectus supplement if and when offered. As a result of the completion of a $20 million rights offering during the year ended December 31, 2010, $55 million of securities remain available for future issuance under this registration statement. On May 2, 2011, the Company announced its intention to pursue a rights offering for up to $30 million of Class A Common Stock. Under the announced terms of the rights offering, holders of the Companys Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of May 12, 2011 will have the right to purchase a prorata number of shares of Class A Common Stock at a subscription price of $0.75 per share. The subscription rights are currently anticipated to be exercisable until June 16, 2011, subject to extension. The rights offering will be conducted under this registration statement and a description of the subscription rights and the rights offering will be contained in a prospectus supplement and other materials that will be sent to eligible shareholders. The Company may decide not to pursue the rights offering and may terminate the offering at any time, and if the rights offering is pursued, it may not be consummated on the contemplated terms or at all.
In October 2010, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the offer and sale of up to $125 million of Class A Common Stock through an underwritten public offering. This registration statement has not yet been declared effective and it is uncertain whether the Company will pursue the sale of any of the shares of Class A Common Stock under this registration statement.
The Parent Company is generally required to provide BankAtlantic with managerial assistance and capital. Any such financing could be sought through public or private offerings, including the rights offering discussed above, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Additionally, we could pursue financings at the Parent Company level or directly at BankAtlantic or both. Any financing involving the issuance of our Class A Common Stock or securities
50
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
convertible or exercisable for our Class A Common Stock could be highly dilutive for our existing shareholders and any issuance of stock at the BankAtlantic level would dilute the Companys ownership interest in BankAtlantic. Such financing may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
The Parent Company has the following cash and investments that it believes provide a source for potential liquidity based on values at March 31, 2011.

The non-performing loans transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company may also provide a potential source of liquidity through workouts, repayments of the loans or sales of interests in the subsidiary. The balance of these loans and real estate owned at March 31, 2011 was $22.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Parent Company received net cash flows of $2.1 million from its work-out subsidiary.
BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantics primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans, tax certificates and securities available for sale; proceeds from the sale of loans, securities available for sale and real estate owned; proceeds from securities sold under agreements to repurchase; advances from FHLB; Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs; interest payments on loans and securities; capital contributions from the Parent Company and other funds generated by operations. These funds are primarily utilized to fund loan disbursements and purchases, deposit outflows, repayments of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, repayments of advances from FHLB and other borrowings, purchases of tax certificates and securities available for sale, acquisitions of properties and equipment, and operating expenses. BankAtlantics liquidity will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. BankAtlantics securities portfolio provides an internal source of liquidity through its short-term investments as well as scheduled maturities and interest payments. Loan repayments and loan sales also provide an internal source of liquidity. BankAtlantic reduced its loan portfolio and securities portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and reinvested the excess cash proceeds in cash equivalents in anticipation of the pending sale of the Tampa branch network to PNC. BankAtlantics liquidity is also dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and availability under lines of credit and Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs. BankAtlantics ability to increase or maintain deposits is impacted by competition from other financial institutions and alternative investments as well as the current low interest rate environment. Such competition, an increase in interest rates or an increase in liquidity needs, may require BankAtlantic to offer higher interest rates to maintain deposits, which may not be successful in generating deposits, and which would increase its cost of funds or reduce its net interest income. BankAtlantic is restricted by the OTS from offering interest rates on its deposits which are significantly higher than market area rates. Additionally, BankAtlantics current lines of credit may not be available when needed as these lines of credit are subject to periodic review and may be terminated or reduced at the discretion of the issuing institutions or reduced based on availability of qualifying collateral. BankAtlantics unused lines of credit increased from $843 million as of December 31, 2010 to $920 million as of March 31, 2011 due to lower FHLB advance outstanding balances partially offset by lower loan balances. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, deterioration in BankAtlantics financial condition, litigation or regulatory action may make borrowings unavailable or make terms of the borrowings and deposits less favorable. There is a risk that our cost of funds will increase and that the borrowing capacity from funding sources may decrease.
The FHLB has granted BankAtlantic a line of credit capped at 30% of assets subject to available collateral, with a maximum term of ten years. BankAtlantic utilized its FHLB line of credit to borrow $45 million and to obtain a $268 million letter of credit primarily securing public deposits as of March 31, 2011. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantics residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate and consumer home equity loans. BankAtlantics unused available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $589 million at March 31, 2011. An additional source of liquidity for BankAtlantic is its securities portfolio. As of March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic had $297 million of unpledged securities that could be sold or pledged for additional borrowings with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve
51
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
or other financial institutions. BankAtlantic is a participating institution in the Federal Reserve Treasury Investment Program for up to $2.2 million in funding and at March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic had $1.4 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic is also eligible to participate in the Federal Reserves discount window program under its secondary credit program. The amount that can be borrowed under this program is dependent on the delivery of collateral to the Federal Reserve, and BankAtlantic had unused available borrowings of approximately $33.7 million as of March 31, 2011, with no amounts outstanding under this program at March 31, 2011. We are not permitted to incur day-light overdrafts in our Federal Reserve bank account and accordingly, our intent is to continue to maintain sufficient funds at the Federal Reserve to support intraday activity. The above lines of credit are subject to periodic review and any of the above borrowings may be limited, or may not be available to us at all or additional collateral could be required, in which case BankAtlantics liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
BankAtlantic also has various relationships to execute repurchase agreements, which may to a limited extent be utilized as an alternative source of liquidity. At March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic had $17.0 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding, representing 0.4% of total assets. Additional repurchase agreement borrowings are subject to available collateral. Additionally, BankAtlantic had total cash on hand or with other financial institutions of $759.9 million at March 31, 2011.
Brokered deposits have previously served as an additional source of liquidity. Included in deposits at March 31, 2011 was $10.8 million in brokered deposits. BankAtlantic is currently restricted by the OTS from acquiring additional brokered deposits or renewing its existing brokered deposits, and expects the balance of its brokered deposits to decline.
BankAtlantics liquidity may be affected by unforeseen demands on cash. Our objective in managing liquidity is to maintain sufficient resources of available liquid assets to address our funding needs. Multiple market disruptions and regulatory actions make it more difficult for us and for financial institutions in general to borrow money. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty how long these adverse market conditions may continue, nor can we anticipate the degree that such market conditions may impact our operations. Deterioration in the performance of other financial institutions may adversely impact the ability of all financial institutions to access liquidity. Further deterioration in the financial markets may further impact us or result in additional market-wide liquidity problems, and affect our liquidity position. We believe BankAtlantic has improved its liquidity position during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 by reducing assets, increasing agency guaranteed securities and paying down borrowings.
BankAtlantics commitment to originate and purchase loans was $27.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2011 compared to $28.8 million of commitments to originate loans at March 31, 2010. BankAtlantic had no commitments to purchase loans at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, total loan commitments represented approximately 1.4% of net loans receivable.
At March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic had mortgage-backed securities of approximately $29.9 million pledged to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, public funds and short-term borrowings. BankAtlantic also has $38.0 million of mortgage-backed securities pledged against potential Federal Reserve Bank borrowings.

Pursuant to the Bank Order, BankAtlantic is required to attain by June 30, 2011 and maintain a tier 1/core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 14%. BankAtlantic historically maintained its regulatory capital ratios at levels that exceeded prompt corrective action well capitalized requirements; however, based on BankAtlantics risk profile, the OTS raised its regulatory capital requirements above the well capitalized amounts. The Parent Company and BankAtlantic will seek to meet the higher capital requirements of the Bank Order through the estimated financial impact upon consummation of the proposed sale to PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. of BankAtlantics Tampa branch network and through other efforts that may include the issuance of its Class A Common Stock through a public or private offering, including the rights offering to the Companys shareholders. Additionally, BankAtlantic may continue to seek to reduce its asset size in order to improve its regulatory capital ratios, although this may make it more difficult to achieve profitability. The Company may not be successful in raising additional capital in subsequent periods and the sale of the Tampa branches may not be consummated in the time frame anticipated, upon the contemplated terms, or at all. The inability to raise capital or otherwise meet regulatory requirements would have a material adverse impact on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The discussion contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, under Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, provides quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Companys primary market risk, which is interest rate risk.
The majority of BankAtlantics assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, the earnings and growth of BankAtlantic are significantly affected by interest rates, which are subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The nature and timing of any changes in such policies or general economic conditions and their effect on BankAtlantic are unpredictable. Changes in interest rates can impact BankAtlantics net interest income as well as the valuation of its assets and liabilities. BankAtlantics interest rate risk position did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2011. For a discussion on the effect of changing interest rates on BankAtlantics earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2011, see Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net Interest Income.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Except as described below, there have been no material changes or developments in the material pending legal proceedings involving the Company from the descriptions contained in Item 3 of the Companys Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In re BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 0:07-cv-61542-UU, United States District Court, Southern District of Florida
On October 29, 2007, Joseph C. Hubbard filed a class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company and five of its current or former officers. The defendants in this action are BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., James A. White, Valerie C. Toalson, Jarett S. Levan, John E. Abdo, and Alan B. Levan. The Complaint, which was later amended, alleges that during the purported class period of November 9, 2005 through October 25, 2007, the Company and the named officers knowingly and/or recklessly made misrepresentations of material fact regarding BankAtlantic and specifically BankAtlantics loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses. The Complaint sought to assert claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and unspecified damages. On December 12, 2007, the Court consolidated into Hubbard a separately filed action captioned Alarm Specialties, Inc. v. BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., No. 0:07cv-61623-WPD. On February 5, 2008, the Court appointed State-Boston Retirement System lead plaintiff and Lubaton Sucharow LLP to serve as lead counsel pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
On November 18, 2010, a jury returned a verdict awarding $2.41 per share to shareholders who purchased shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock during the period of April 26, 2007 to October 26, 2007 and retained those shares until the end of the period. The jury rejected the plaintiffs claim for the six month period from October 19, 2006 to April 25, 2007. Prior to the beginning of the trial, plaintiffs abandoned any claim for any prior period. On April 25, 2011, the Court granted defendants post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law and vacated the jury verdict, resulting in a judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims. On May 5, 2011, defendants filed a motion for sanctions against plaintiffs and their counsel seeking reimbursement of their attorneys fees and costs incurred in connection with this lawsuit. The Plaintiffs have indicated that they intend to appeal the Courts order setting aside the jury verdict.
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
The Company has received a notice of investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Miami Regional Office and subpoenas for information. The subpoenas request a broad range of documents relating to, among other matters, recent and pending litigation to which the Company is or was a party, certain of the Companys non-performing, non-accrual and charged-off loans, the Companys cost saving measures, loan classifications, BankAtlantic Bancorps asset workout subsidiary, and the recent Orders with the OTS entered into by the Parent Company and BankAtlantic. Various current and former employees have also received subpoenas for documents and testimony. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC.
The Company has received a letter from the Miami regional office staff of the SEC indicating that the staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil action against the Company alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Company has also been informed that its chief executive officer received a similar letter. Although the letters do not state the grounds for such recommendations, in communications between the Companys counsel and the Miami regional office staff, the Company has learned that the basis for the recommended actions were many of the same arguments brought in the private class action securities litigation recently concluded at the district court level in favor of the Company and the individual defendants. In addition, the Miami regional office staff raised issues relating to the classification and valuation of certain loans included in the Companys financial information for the last quarter of 2007 and in its annual report on Form 10-K for the 2007 fiscal year. If litigation is brought, the SEC may seek remedies including an injunction against future violations of federal securities laws, civil money penalties and an officer and director bar. The Company believes that it has fulfilled all of its obligations under securities laws and, if such actions are brought by the SEC against the Company and/or any of its officers, such actions would be vigorously defended.

D.W. Hugo, individually and on behalf of Nominal Defendant BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. vs. BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., Alan B. Levan, Jarett S. Levan, Jay C. McClung, Marcia K. Snyder, Valerie Toalson, James A. White, John E. Abdo, D. Keith Cobb, Steven M. Coldren, and David A. Lieberman, Case No. 0:08-cv-61018-UU, United States District Court, Southern District of Florida
In July 2008, the Company, certain officers and Directors were named in a lawsuit which alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in certain lending practices with respect to the Companys Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio. The Complaint further alleges that the Companys public filings and statements did not fully disclose the risks associated with the Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio and seeks damages on behalf of the Company. The case has been stayed pending final resolution of the class action securities litigation.
On May 6, 2011, the Court instructed plaintiffs counsel to narrow the claims and defendants in accord with the Courts rulings in In re BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Securities Litigation. The Court then invited defendants to move for summary judgment as to any remaining of such claims and defendants, and expressed considerable doubt as to the viability of any claims in light of the judgments entered in favor of defendants in the securities class action. Based on the Courts instructions, we believe this case will be resolved favorably to the Company and the individual defendants.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Risk Factors section of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 except for the addition of the following risk factor.
The loss of key personnel or the failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel could adversely affect our operations.
Our performance is largely dependent on the talents and efforts of skilled individuals. There is intense competition in the financial services industry for qualified employees. We also face increasing competition with businesses outside the financial services industry for the most highly skilled individuals. In addition, our recent losses, reductions in force and other efforts to achieve operating efficiencies as well as the concerns about the stability of financial institutions in general may make it more difficult to retain key personnel. Our business operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to retain and motivate our existing employees and attract new employees as needed.
