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 Company’s principal asset is its investment in BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries. The Company has two reportable segments, BankAtlantic and the Parent Company. On February 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale to Stifel Financial Corp. (“Stifel”) of Ryan Beck Holdings, Inc. (“Ryan Beck”), a subsidiary engaged in retail and institutional brokerage and investment banking. Under the terms of the Ryan Beck sales agreement, the Company received additional consideration based on Ryan Beck revenues over the two year period following the closing of the sale. Included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was earn-out consideration net of indemnification obligations.
     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 management’s 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 Company’s consolidated financial condition at September 30, 2010, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the revised financial statement presentation for 2010. A joint venture that conducts a factoring business was presented under the equity method of accounting in our September 30, 2009 financial statements. This joint venture was consolidated in our September 30, 2010 financial statements upon the implementation of new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2010 (see note 15). Additionally, 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 Company’s Class A common stock (see note 14).
     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 $12.2 million as of September 30, 2010 of which $11.7 million is included in a BankAtlantic reverse repurchase agreement account. 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 $73.9 million would be due in December 2013 if interest is deferred until that date. The Parent Company’s operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $2.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and $2.2 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. BankAtlantic’s liquidity is dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and the availability of borrowings under its lines of credit and Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs. As of September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $338 million of cash and short-term investments and approximately $915 million of available unused borrowings, consisting of $516 million of unused FHLB line of credit capacity, $391 million of unpledged securities, and $8 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. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, adverse litigation or regulatory actions, deterioration in BankAtlantic’s 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, BankAtlantic’s cost of funds could increase and the availability of funding sources could decrease.
     The substantial uncertainties throughout the Florida and national economies and U.S. banking industry coupled with current market conditions have adversely affected BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and BankAtlantic’s results. As of September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic’s capital was in excess of all regulatory “well capitalized” levels. However, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), at its discretion, can at any time require an institution to maintain capital amounts and ratios above the

8


Table of Contents

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
established “well capitalized” requirements and otherwise restrict operations based on its view of the risk profile of the specific institution. BankAtlantic’s communications with the OTS include providing information on an ad-hoc, one-time or regular basis related to areas of regulatory oversight and bank operations. As part of such communications, BankAtlantic has and will continue to provide to its regulators forecasts, strategic business plans and other information relating to anticipated asset balances, asset quality, capital levels, expenses, anticipated earnings, and levels of brokered deposits and liquidity. Additionally, BankAtlantic is subject to various restrictions of which include that BankAtlantic will not, unless pursuant to an approved business plan or permitted by the OTS, increase its assets, originate or purchase new commercial real estate loans, acquire or renew brokered deposits or pay dividends to the Parent Company. Further, it may not solicit deposits by offering interest rates at rates significantly higher than market area rates. BankAtlantic currently expects to receive formal communication from the OTS that we anticipate will require BankAtlantic to maintain regulatory capital ratios at levels above the minimum amounts required for “well capitalized” institutions. Higher capital requirements could require BankAtlantic to raise additional capital or to reduce its asset size further, making it more difficult to achieve profitability. There is no assurance that the Parent Company or BankAtlantic would be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms or at all, and if successful, may involve the issuance of securities in transactions highly dilutive to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s existing shareholders. If BankAtlantic is not able to meet higher regulatory capital requirements, BankAtlantic’s operations would be further restricted and its results of operations would be materially adversely impacted. Although BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic have experienced operating losses since June 2007, the Company believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to fund operations at least through September 30, 2011. However, if unanticipated market factors emerge and/or the Company is unable to execute its plans or if BankAtlantic or the Company requires capital and the Company is unable to raise capital, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The $1.4 million loss included in securities activities, net in the Company’s statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 represented an other-than-temporary impairment associated with a decline in value related to an equity investment in an unrelated financial institution.
     The valuation techniques and the inputs used in our financial statements to measure the fair value of our recurring financial instruments are described below.
     The fair values of agency bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed and real estate mortgage conduit securities are estimated using independent pricing sources and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing uses a market approach valuation technique and Level 2 valuation inputs as quoted market prices are not available for the specific securities that 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

Table of Contents

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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.
     Other bonds and equity securities are generally fair valued using the market approach and quoted market prices (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2 or Level 3) with inputs obtained from independent pricing sources, if available. 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 adjusted 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.

     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 loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or 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.
     Impaired Real Estate Owned, Assets Held for Sale and Real Estate Held for Development and Sale
     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 a Level 3 valuation.
     Impaired Goodwill
     In determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units in the test of goodwill for impairment, the Company uses discounted cash flow valuation techniques. This method requires assumptions for expected cash flows and applicable discount rates. The aggregate fair value of all reporting units derived from the above valuation methodology is compared to the Company’s market capitalization adjusted for a control premium in order to determine the reasonableness of the financial model output. A control premium represents the value an investor would pay above minority interest transaction prices in order to obtain a controlling interest in the respective company. The Company uses financial projections over a period of time considered necessary to achieve a steady state of cash flows for each reporting unit. The primary assumptions in the projections include anticipated growth in loans, tax certificates, securities, interest rates and revenue. The discount rates are estimated based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which considers the risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta, and unsystematic risk and size premium adjustments specific to a particular reporting unit. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in the discount rate and terminal value assumptions and, accordingly, minor changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the fair value assigned to a reporting unit. Future potential changes in these assumptions may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and cause the fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value. As a result of the significant judgments used in determining the fair value of the reporting units, the fair values of the reporting units use Level 3 inputs in the determination of fair value.
     Goodwill of $13.1 million included on the Company’s statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 associated with BankAtlantic’s capital services reporting unit was tested for potential impairment on September 30, 2010 (our annual testing date) and was determined not to be impaired. As of September 30, 2010 the estimated fair value of the Company’s capital services reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the underlying assets by $20.0 million. If market conditions do not improve or deteriorate further, the Company may recognize goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

     Management has made estimates of fair value that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments and management has derived the fair value of the majority of these financial instruments using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs, there is no assurance that the Company would 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 Company’s fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates.
     Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions are certificates of deposits guaranteed by the FDIC with maturities of less than one year. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short maturity of these certificates of deposit, the fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.
     Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rate categories and into performing and non-performing categories. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimate of average maturity is based on BankAtlantic’s historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management assigns a credit risk premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on risk grades and delinquency status.
     The fair value of tax certificates was calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that we believe take into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments.
     The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is its carrying amount.
     As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts, is shown in the above table at its book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated using the discounted value of contractual cash flows with the discount rate estimated using current rates offered by BankAtlantic for similar remaining maturities.

     The fair value of short-term borrowings is calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs. 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 values of BankAtlantic’s subordinated debentures were based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate adjusted for non-performance risk.
     The fair value of BankAtlantic’s mortgage-backed bonds included in subordinated debentures and notes payable as of December 31, 2009 was based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate. The mortgage-backed bonds were retired during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulting in a $7,000 loss.
     In determining the fair value of all of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures, the Company used NASDAQ price quotes available with respect to its $66.1 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures (“public debentures”). However, $252.7 million of the outstanding trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures are not traded, but are privately held in pools (“private debentures”) and with no liquidity or readily determinable source for valuation. 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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.
     The carrying amount and fair values of BankAtlantic’s commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and forward commitments are not considered significant. (See Note 13 for the contractual amounts of BankAtlantic’s financial instrument commitments.)

     The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s securities available for sale with unrealized losses that are deemed temporary, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

     The unrealized losses on the equity securities are insignificant. The municipal notes are insured general obligations of the municipality and have maturities of approximately one year or less and BankAtlantic expects to receive its entire investment in the note upon maturity. Accordingly, the Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010.
     Unrealized losses on mortgage-backed and REMICS securities outstanding at December 31, 2009 were primarily the result of interest rate changes. These securities are guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises. These securities are of high credit quality, and management believed that the securities would recover their losses in the foreseeable future. Further, management did not intend to sell these debt securities and did not believe that it would be required to sell these debt securities before the price recovers.

4. Derivatives
     During 2010, BankAtlantic expanded its cruise ship automated teller machine (“ATM”) operations and began dispensing foreign currency from certain ATMs on cruise ships. At September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $7.3 million of foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs and recognized $0.8 million and $0.1 million of foreign currency unrealized exchange gains, respectively, which were included in other income in the Company’s statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. BankAtlantic purchased foreign currency put options as an economic hedge for the foreign currency in its cruise ship ATMs. The terms of the put options and the fair value as of September 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands, except strike price):

The put options were included in derivatives in the Company’s statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2010.
5. Discontinued Operations
     On February 28, 2007, the Company sold Ryan Beck to Stifel. The Stifel sales agreement provided for contingent earn-out payments, payable in cash or shares of Stifel common stock, at Stifel’s election, based on certain defined Ryan Beck revenues during the two-year period immediately following the Ryan Beck sale, which ended on February 28, 2009, and required the Company to indemnify Stifel for certain losses arising out of activities of Ryan Beck prior to the sale and asserted through September 30, 2009. The Company recognized $4.2 million of earn-out consideration during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the Company received $3.7 million in proceeds net of a $0.5 million indemnification obligation. In October 2010, the Company received notice from Stifel that Stifel believes that the Company is obligated to pay Stifel an additional $1.2 million based on such indemnification obligation. Management believes that it has no liability and, accordingly, no additional obligation was recognized in connection with the indemnification obligation under the Ryan Beck sales agreement at September 30, 2010.

     In March 2009, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 130 associates, or 7%, impacting back-office functions as well as our community banking and commercial lending business units. The Company incurred $2.0 million of employee termination costs which were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
     In July 2010, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 105 associates, or 7%, again impacting both back-office functions and community banking and commercial business lending units. The Company incurred $2.1 million of employee termination costs which are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
     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 are amortized 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of contract termination liabilities in connection with operating leases executed for future branch expansion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized $1.5 million of additional impairments on real estate acquired for branch expansion. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic transferred a recently constructed $1.9 million branch facility to real estate held for sale based on its decision to seek a buyer for the asset. BankAtlantic also transferred $1.3 million of land from real estate held for sale to property held for use as BankAtlantic suspended efforts to seek a buyer due to adverse real estate market conditions in the area where the land was located.

     Loans held for sale at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are loans originated with the assistance of an independent mortgage company. The mortgage company provides processing and closing assistance to BankAtlantic. Pursuant to an agreement, the mortgage company purchases the loans from BankAtlantic within a defined period of time after the date of funding. BankAtlantic earns the interest income during the period that BankAtlantic owns the loan. Gains from the sale of loans held for sale were $28,000 and $169,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and were $134,000 and $397,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
     During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold a non-residential commercial loan for net proceeds of $2.5 million. The Company incurred a $0.2 million charge-off on the loan upon sale and reversed a $0.2 million specific valuation allowance established in a prior period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold builder land bank loans and land acquisition and development loans for net proceeds of $26.9 million resulting in charge-offs of $20.1 million. However, the Company had previously established $17.7 million of specific valuation allowances on these loans as of December 31, 2009, and, accordingly, only a $2.4 million additional charge-off was incurred in connection with the sales.
     Undisbursed loans in process consisted of the following components (in thousands):

  $ 555,304       106,124       445,495       70,485  
             
     Impaired loans without specific valuation allowances represent loans that were written-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, loans in which the collateral value less cost to sell was greater than the carrying value of the loan, loans in which the present value of the cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate was equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loan, or large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively measured for impairment.
     The Company continuously monitors collateral dependent loans and performs an impairment analysis on these loans quarterly. Generally, a full appraisal is obtained when a real estate loan is evaluated for impairment and an updated full appraisal is obtained within one year from the prior appraisal date, or earlier if management deems it appropriate based on significant changes in market conditions. In instances where a property is in the process of foreclosure, an updated appraisal may be postponed beyond one year, as an appraisal is required on the date of foreclosure; however, such loans are subject to quarterly impairment analyses. Included in total impaired loans as of September 30, 2010 was $360.4 million of collateral dependent loans, of which $188.9 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and $171.5 million were measured by adjusting appraisals that were less than one year old, as appropriate, to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date. Appraised values were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $21.4 million to reflect current market conditions on 21 loans due to property value declines since the last appraisal dates.
     As of September 30, 2010, impaired loans with specific valuation allowances had been previously written down by $64.5 million and impaired loans without specific valuation allowances had been previously written down by $74.6 million. BankAtlantic had commitments to lend $9.8 million of additional funds on impaired loans as of September 30, 2010.

8. 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 Tampa operations which includes 19 branches. BankAtlantic engaged an investment banking firm to assist it in seeking a buyer for the Tampa operations. As a consequence, BankAtlantic reclassified its fixed assets related to the Tampa operations to held-for-sale and recognized a $4.5 million impairment as these held-for-sale assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value.
     The assets and liabilities associated with the Tampa operations as of September 30, 2010 were as follows:
         
ASSETS
       
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 4,902  
Office properties and equipment
    32,307  
 
     
Total assets held for sale
  $ 37,209  
 
     
LIABILITIES
       
Interest bearing deposits
  $ 259,893  
Non-interest bearing deposits
    79,467  
 
     
Total deposits
    339,360  
Accrued interest payable
    100  
 
     
Total liabilities held for sale
  $ 339,460  
 
     
     BankAtlantic anticipates that a sale of the Tampa operations would reduce annual non-interest expenses by approximately $15 to $20 million. However, there is no assurance that management will be able to sell its Tampa operations at acceptable terms or at all, and the terms of any such sale are uncertain.
9. Goodwill
     The Company tests goodwill for potential impairment annually or during interim periods if impairment indicators exist. In response to the deteriorating economic and real estate environments and the effects that the external environment had on BankAtlantic’s business units, BankAtlantic has reduced its asset balances with a view toward strengthening its regulatory capital ratios and revised its projected operating results to reflect a smaller organization. Based on the results of an interim goodwill impairment evaluation undertaken during the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
10. Short-term Borrowings, Common Stock and Share-based Compensation
     The Company distributed to each holder of record who owned shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock on June 14, 2010 non-transferable subscription rights to purchase 0.327 shares of Class A common stock for each share of Class A and Class B common stock owned on that date. The rights offering was for an aggregate of $25 million with a subscription price of $1.50 per share. Shareholders who exercised their basic subscription rights in full were given the opportunity to request to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that were not subscribed for in the rights offering.
     During June 2010, BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) exercised its basic subscription rights, in full, amounting to 5,986,865 shares, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135 shares of Class A common stock to the extent available. In connection with the exercise of its subscription rights, BFC delivered to the Company $15.0 million in cash, which represented the full purchase price for all of the shares subscribed for by BFC. In exchange, the Company issued to BFC 4,697,184 shares of Class A common stock, which represented substantially all of its basic subscription rights exercised (less only rights relating to shares held in street name), and delivered to BFC a $8.0 million promissory note for the balance of the funds received. The promissory note had a scheduled maturity of July 30, 2010 and was payable in cash or shares of Class A common stock issuable to BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the rights offering. The delivery of funds by BFC directly to the Company in connection with the exercise of its subscription rights enabled the Company to contribute the $15.0 million of proceeds from the promissory note and the issuance of Class A common stock to BankAtlantic as a capital contribution prior to the end of the 2010 second quarter.

     In July 2010 in connection with the completion of the rights offering, the Company satisfied the promissory note due to BFC in accordance with its terms by issuing to BFC the additional 5,302,816 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock subscribed for by BFC in the rights offering.

The Company, BFC and Bluegreen share certain office premises and employee services, pursuant to the agreements described below.
     In March 2008, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement with Woodbridge to provide information technology support in exchange for monthly payments by Woodbridge to BankAtlantic. In May 2008, BankAtlantic also entered into a lease agreement with BFC under which BFC pays BankAtlantic monthly rent for office space in BankAtlantic’s corporate headquarters.
     The Company maintains service agreements with BFC, pursuant to which BFC provides human resources, risk management, investor relations and other support services to the Company. BFC is compensated for these services based on its cost.
     In June 2010, BankAtlantic and the Parent Company entered into a real estate advisory service agreement with BFC for assistance relating to the work-out of loans and the sale of real estate owned. BFC is compensated $12,500 per month by each of BankAtlantic and the Parent Company and, if BFC’s efforts result in net recoveries of any nonperforming loan or the sale of real estate owned, it will receive a fee equal to 1% of the net value recovered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 BFC recognized $110,000 and $335,000, respectively, of real estate advisory service fees under this agreement.

     The Company in prior periods issued options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to employees of Woodbridge prior to the spin-off of Woodbridge to the Company’s shareholders. Additionally, certain employees of the Company have transferred to affiliate companies and the Company has elected, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. The Company accounts for these options to former employees as employee stock options because these individuals were employees of the Company on the grant date.
     Outstanding options held by former employees consisted of the following as of September 30, 2010:
                 
    Class A     Weighted  
    Common     Average  
    Stock     Price  
Options outstanding
    44,176     $ 52.38  
     During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued to BFC employees that perform services for the Company, options to acquire 9,800 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $46.90. These options vest in five years and expire ten years from the grant date. The Company recognizes service provider expense on options over the vesting period measured based on the option fair value at each reporting period. The Company recorded $12,000 and $37,000 of service provider expenses relating to these options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     BankAtlantic, as the seller of securities, entered into securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions with Woodbridge and BFC in the aggregate of $7.0 million as of September 30, 2009. The Company recognized $6,000 and $34,000 of interest expense in connection with the above repurchase transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. These transactions have the same general terms as BankAtlantic’s repurchase agreements with unaffiliated third parties. There were no securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions with Woodbridge or BFC during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
     BFC and its subsidiaries had deposits at BankAtlantic totaling $4.3 million as of September 30, 2010. The deposits were on the same general terms as offered to unaffiliated third parties.
     As of December 31, 2009, BFC had $7.7 million deposited through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program at BankAtlantic. The CDARS program facilitates the placement of funds into certificates of deposit issued by other financial institutions in increments less than the standard FDIC insurance maximum to insure that both principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance coverage. BankAtlantic received $28.4 million of deposits from other participating CDARS financial institutions’ customers in connection with this program, and these amounts are included as brokered deposits in the Company’s statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2009. BFC and its subsidiaries did not have funds deposited through the CDARS program as of September 30, 2010.

     In connection with the Company’s rights offering, BFC exercised its subscription rights to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million, resulting in an increase in BFC’s ownership interest in the Company by approximately 8% from 37% to 45% and an increase in BFC’s voting interest by approximately 5% from 66% to 71%.
12. 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 Company’s activities also include the operating results of the asset work-out subsidiary.
     The following summarizes the aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into reportable segments:
     
Reportable Segment   Operating Segments Aggregated
BankAtlantic
  Banking operations
 
   
Parent Company
  BankAtlantic Bancorp’s 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Standby letters of credit
    8,818       13,573  
Commercial lines of credit
    67,428       74,841  
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantic’s 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 $7.2 million at September 30, 2010. 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 $1.6 million at September 30, 2010. 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 loan facilities to customers. BankAtlantic may hold certificates of deposit and residential and commercial liens as collateral for such commitments. Included in other liabilities at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $4,000 and $5,000, respectively, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations associated with these guarantees recorded in the financial statements.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
     In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its bank operations and investing activities. Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of the various legal actions is uncertain. Management, based on discussions with legal counsel, has accrued $1.0 million for legal liabilities and believes its results of operations or financial condition will not be materially impacted by the resolution of these matters. However, there is no assurance that the Company will not incur losses in excess of reserved amounts or in amounts that will be material to its results of operations or financial condition. (For a further discussion on legal proceedings see Part II — Other Information — Item 1. Legal Proceedings).
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 borrower’s 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 borrower’s ability to meet the debt service on or repay the loan and lead to increased defaults and losses. At September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic’s residential loan portfolio included $600 million of interest-only loans, which represents 48.7% of the residential loan portfolio, with 26.1% of the aggregate principal amount of these interest-only loans secured by collateral located in California. Interest-only residential loans scheduled to become fully amortizing during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and during the year ended December 31, 2011 are $2.1 million and $51.0 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 1,614,900 shares of restricted Class A common stock awards were anti-dilutive.
     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 Company’s 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.

15. New Accounting Pronouncements
     On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity was replaced with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. The implementation of this new guidance resulted in the Company consolidating its factoring joint venture, BankAtlantic Business Capital, LLC (“BBC”). The implementation of this new guidance as of January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
     On January 1, 2010, the Company implemented the new accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance expands the disclosure required to be provided in financial reports regarding a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its statement of financial condition, financial performance and cash flows; and any continuing interest in transferred financial assets. In addition, the guidance amended various concepts associated with the accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities including removing the concept of qualified special purpose entities. This new guidance was applied to transfers of financial assets after January 1, 2010. The Company did not have any interests in qualified special purpose entities and the implementation of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
     Beginning with the period ended March 31, 2010, new accounting guidance was implemented requiring the following additional disclosure regarding fair value measurements: (1) transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and (2) a presentation of gross activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also included clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance is applicable to all disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The effective date of the guidance was the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. The additional disclosures made in accordance with this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
     In July 2010, the FASB issued new disclosure guidance about the “Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new guidance provides enhanced disclosures related to the credit quality of financing receivables which includes the Company’s loans receivable and the allowance for credit losses, and provides that new and existing disclosures should be disaggregated based on how an entity develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages credit exposures. Under the new guidance, additional disclosures required for loans receivable include information regarding the aging of past due receivables, credit quality indicators, and modifications of financing receivables. The new guidance is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2010, with the exception of the amendments to the roll forward of the allowance for credit losses and the disclosures about modifications which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption. The Company believes that the new guidance should not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The principal assets of the Company 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. Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”) and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond the Company’s control.

unemployment rates on our business generally, our regulatory capital ratios, the ability of our borrowers to service their obligations and of our customers to maintain account balances and the value of collateral securing our loans; credit risks and loan losses, and the related sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses, including the impact on the credit quality of our loans (including those held in the asset workout subsidiary of the Company) of a sustained downturn in the economy and in the real estate market and other changes in the real estate markets in our trade area, and where our collateral is located; the quality of our real estate based loans including our residential land acquisition and development loans (including Builder land bank loans, Land acquisition and development loans and Land acquisition, development and construction loans) as well as Commercial land loans, other Commercial real estate loans, Residential loans and Consumer loans, and conditions specifically in those market sectors; the quality of our Commercial business loans and conditions specifically in that market sector; the risks of additional charge-offs, impairments and required increases in our allowance for loan losses especially if the economy and real estate markets in Florida do not improve; the impact of additional regulation and litigation regarding overdraft fees; additional regulatory requirements or restrictions on our activities which impact our business and prospects; the uncertain impact of legal proceedings on our financial condition or operations, changes in interest rates and the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws including their impact on the bank’s net interest margin; adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other financial and credit markets and the impact of such conditions on our activities, the value of our assets and on the ability of our borrowers to service their debt obligations and maintain account balances; we may not be able to sell our Tampa operations on acceptable terms or at all; our expense reduction initiatives may not be successful and additional cost savings may not be achieved; we may raise additional capital and such capital may be highly dilutive to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s shareholders or may not be available; and the risks associated with the impact of periodic valuation testing of goodwill, deferred tax assets and other assets. Past performance and perceived trends may not indicate future results. 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. 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 goodwill and other long-lived assets; 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Consolidated Results of Operations
     Loss from continuing operations from each of the Company’s reportable segments was as follows (in thousands):
                         
    For the Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2010     2009     Change  
BankAtlantic
  $ (17,669 )     (35,304 )     17,635  
Parent Company
    (7,515 )     (16,784 )     9,269  
 
                 
Net loss
  $ (25,184 )     (52,088 )     26,904  
 
                 
For the Three Months September 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in BankAtlantic’s net loss during the 2010 third quarter compared to the same 2009 quarter primarily resulted from a $29.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses partially offset by $4.6 million of lower revenues from service charges on deposits, $5.3 million of lower gains on securities activities, net, a $2.4 million decline in net

interest income and $0.7 million of higher non-interest expenses. The substantial decrease in the provision for loan losses primarily related to a significant reduction in charge-offs in all of our loan product types as we believe that real estate value declines have generally slowed. The lower revenues from service charges reflect 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 is the result of both our focus on seeking to attract customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances, the adoption of new Federal Reserve overdraft rules and the result of a change in customer behavior. We currently expect this decline in overdraft fees to continue. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, BankAtlantic sold agency securities for a $4.8 million gain. No agency securities were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decline in BankAtlantic’s net interest income primarily resulted from lower earning asset balances, higher non-performing asset balances, and an increase in liquidity resulting in additional cash balances invested in low yielding investments. The decline in earning assets was the result of lower loan originations and purchases, reduced acquisitions of tax certificates and sales of agency securities since the second quarter of 2009. The increases in BankAtlantic’s non-interest expenses primarily resulted from $4.5 million of impairments on assets transferred to held-for-sale in connection with the possible sale of our Tampa operations, $2.0 million of employee severance associated with a July 2010 workforce reduction, a $1.1 million increase in lease termination liability and a $2.2 million increase in professional fees. The above increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by lower compensation and occupancy expenses associated with efforts to increase operating efficiencies and $5.4 million of costs associated with debt redemptions in 2009 with no costs associated with debt redemptions in 2010.
     The decrease in the Parent Company’s loss for the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 quarter primarily resulted from a $9.9 million decline in the provision for loan losses. The substantial improvement in the provision for loan losses reflects lower charge-offs and declines in the specific valuation allowance for loan losses for the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 period.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in BankAtlantic’s net loss during the 2010 period compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulted from a $33.0 million reduction in the provision for loan losses, and a $19.8 million reduction in non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decline in net interest income of $7.8 million, $12.0 million of lower revenues from service charges on deposits and a $8.3 million decline in gains from securities activities, net. The improvement in non-interest expense reflects a $9.2 million goodwill impairment charge during the 2009 period with no goodwill impairment charges during the 2010 period. Additionally, the improvement in non-interest expenses since the 2009 period reflects reduced operating expenses associated with operating expense initiatives, which included a $5.9 million reduction in employee compensation and benefits expense as a result of a smaller workforce.
     The decrease in the Parent Company’s net loss primarily resulted from the items discussed above for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period, as the provision for loan losses declined $14.6 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Parent Company sold certain real estate owned property for a $0.6 million loss and recorded $0.8 million of write-downs on real estate owned due to declining property values subsequent to foreclosure.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized $3.7 million of earnings in discontinued operations relating to additional Ryan Beck contingent earn-out payments under the Ryan Beck merger agreement with Stifel.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a significant reduction in earning assets and an increase in additional cash balances invested in low yielding investments partially offset by an improvement in the net interest spread and margin driven by lower deposit and funding costs.
     The average balance of earning assets declined by $448.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. This decline in interest earning assets significantly reduced our net interest income. 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 in an effort to enhance liquidity and improve regulatory capital ratios. 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 2009 and the first nine months of 2010. The reduction in earning assets was partially offset by the purchase of short-term agency and municipal securities that are eligible as collateral for borrowings in order to earn higher yields than interest earning cash balances.
     The net interest spread and margin improved due to a change in our interest bearing liability funding mix. BankAtlantic used the funds from the reduction in assets to repay FHLB advances and short term wholesale borrowings. Additionally, the low interest rate environment resulted in a significant reduction in certificate of deposit balances with a corresponding migration of customers to NOW and demand deposit transaction accounts that generally have lower interest

costs than certificate of deposits. As a result, BankAtlantic’s funding mix changed from higher rate FHLB advances and certificates of deposits to lower rate deposits which resulted in a substantial reduction in BankAtlantic’s cost of funds.
     Also contributing to the reduction in BankAtlantic’s cost of funds was the substantial decline in deposit interest rates in the industry. This improvement in the cost of funds was partially offset by interest earning asset yield declines and significantly increased balances in low yielding investments. The decline in average yields on loans reflects lower interest rates during 2010 compared to 2009 and higher non-performing loan balances. Investments primarily consisted of agency mortgage-backed securities, interest bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, short-term municipal securities and tax certificates. The significant decline in investment yields during the 2010 third quarter compared to the 2009 third quarter resulted from an increase of approximately $190.8 million in cash balances and in accounts yielding less than 25 basis points. The net interest spread and margin were favorably impacted by a significant increase in transaction accounts with a corresponding reduction in certificate of deposit accounts. A portion of maturing certificates of deposit accounts either transferred to transaction accounts or renewed at substantially lower interest rates. The higher transaction account balances reflect the migration of retail certificate of deposit accounts to transaction accounts and new customer accounts. Transaction account growth was also favorably impacted by a shift in our sales and marketing strategy to seek potential customers who maintain higher deposit balances.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of the items discussed above for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. The lower net interest income during the 2010 period compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulted from a significant decline in earning assets partially offset by improvements in the net interest spread and the net interest margin as interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities declined more than yields on interest-earning assets. The significant decline in interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities reflects lower deposit interest rates for the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period as well as a shift in our funding mix. During 2010, our deposit funding mix shifted from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost transaction accounts. Additionally, proceeds from the decline in earning assets were utilized to repay FHLB advance borrowings which further reduced our cost of funds during the 2010 period.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized $1.3 million and $3.2 million of charge-offs related to builder land bank loans and land acquisition and development loans, respectively. The remaining $1.4 million of commercial real estate loan charge-offs were primarily associated with commercial non-residential real estate loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the majority of the commercial loan charge-offs resulted from one builder land bank loan and one shopping center loan.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized $21.9 million of charge-offs related to builder land bank loans including a $13.5 million charge-off related to one builder land bank loan that was sold during the period. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized $9.4 of residential land acquisition and development loan charge-offs including a $3.4 million charge-off on a $20 million sale of our loan participation interest at a discount to the lead lender. Commercial residential loans continue to constitute the majority of commercial real estate loan charge-offs; however, BankAtlantic is experiencing certain unfavorable credit quality trends in commercial loans collateralized by commercial land and retail income producing properties and may experience higher non-performing loans and charge-offs in these loan categories in future periods. BankAtlantic does not plan to originate or purchase commercial real estate loans for the foreseeable future.
     The decrease in consumer and residential loan charge-offs reflect certain improved delinquency trends. However, if economic conditions do not improve, we may experience higher non-accrual loans and credit losses in these portfolios.
     The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulted from lower charge-offs and a decline in additions to specific valuation allowances on commercial real estate loans.
     The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period reflect lower loan portfolio balances and an improvement in residential and consumer loan delinquency and loss migration trends during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
     Unemployment rates nationally and in Florida were 9.6% and 11.9%, respectively, at September 30, 2010. There is no assurance that the credit quality of our loan portfolio will improve in subsequent periods, and if general economic conditions do not improve in Florida and nationwide, the credit quality of our loan portfolio may continue to deteriorate and additional provisions for loan losses will be required.

(1)   Includes $41.9 million and $41.3 million of interest-only residential loans as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
(2)   Includes $121.4 million and $45.7 million of troubled debt restructured loans as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
(3)   The majority of these loans have matured and the borrower continues to make payments under the matured loan agreement or the loan has sufficient collateral that we believe is sufficient to prevent a loss.
 
(4)   BankAtlantic believes that it will ultimately collect the principal and interest associated with these loans.
 
(5)   These loans are performing in accordance with their respective modified terms.
     Non-performing assets were higher at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily due to a $118.6 million increase in non-accrual loans and a $22.1 million increase in real estate owned.
     The increase in non-accrual loans at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily resulted from a substantial increase in commercial real estate non-accrual loans. Commercial loans transferred to non-accrual during the 2010 nine month period were primarily collateralized by non-residential properties. At September 30, 2010, $82.4 million of non-accrual commercial real estate loans were current as to their payment terms. However, there is no assurance that these loans will subsequently return to an accruing status.
     The increase in residential non-accrual loans was primarily the result of a prolonged foreclosure process. Residential loan delinquencies excluding non-accrual loans have declined from $26.7 million at December 31, 2009 to $17.9 million at September 30, 2010; however, the foreclosure processes vary by state and can currently take more than 15 months to complete. We believe that the lower delinquencies excluding non-accrual loans may result in lower new non-accrual residential loan balances in the future; however, we anticipate higher residential real estate owned balances in subsequent periods as non-accrual loans continue through the foreclosure process.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, small business loan delinquencies and charge-offs slightly increased. Small business loans have performed better than our commercial real estate loans in the current environment; however, if the current economic trends continue, including elevated unemployment rates in Florida, we anticipate that we may experience an increase in charge-offs and non-accrual small business loans.
     The allowance for tax certificate losses at September 30, 2010 compared to December 2009 reflects the impact of adverse real estate market conditions on our out-of-state tax certificate portfolio.
     The higher balance of repossessed assets at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 reflects foreclosures of commercial real estate and residential loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic transferred $40.7 million of loans to real estate owned. BankAtlantic attempts to modify loans to credit-worthy borrowers; however, the majority of BankAtlantic’s non-accrual commercial real estate loans are collateral dependent which leaves BankAtlantic few viable options other than initiating the foreclosure process. As non-accrual loans migrate into repossessed assets in the future, we expect repossessed assets to increase.
     BankAtlantic’s troubled debt restructured loans at September 30, 2010 slightly increased compared to December 31, 2009 primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate troubled debt restructured loans. 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 has 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 increase in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily resulted from the establishment of specific valuation allowances on commercial real estate, commercial business and small business loans due to the deteriorating financial condition of certain of our borrowers resulting in greater reliance on declining underlying collateral values. The increase in the allowance for commercial and small business loans was partially offset by a decline in the residential and consumer allowance for loan losses. The decline in the consumer allowance reflects lower loan balances, the improvement of delinquency trends and improvements in early-stage delinquency migration from one payment delinquent to two payments delinquent. The reduction in the residential loan allowance for loan losses was primarily due to lower loan balances, improvements in delinquency rates excluding non-accruals and improvements in early-stage delinquency migration during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

     The lower revenues from service charges on deposits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily resulted 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 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 including imposing caps on the number of overdrafts. We anticipate that these events will result in further declines in our overdraft fee income in future periods.
     Other service charges and fees generally remained at 2009 levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Higher interchange income from the use of check cards by our customers was partially offset by lower fee income from our cruise ship operations. Additionally, check card losses were $0.2 million lower during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period during 2009.
     In June 2010 BankAtlantic entered into a foreign currency derivative contract as an economic hedge of foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs and recognized a $0.5 million and $0.2 million unrealized loss in connection with these derivative contracts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic sold $47.1 million of agency securities for a $3.1 million gain. The net proceeds of $43.8 million from the sales were used to pay down FHLB advance borrowings.
     During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, BankAtlantic sold $98.6 million and $283.9 million of agency securities available for sale for gains of $4.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively. The $295.1 million of net proceeds from the sales were used to pay down FHLB advance borrowings.
     Income from unconsolidated companies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 represented equity earnings from a joint venture that engages in accounts receivable factoring. The factoring joint venture was consolidated as of January 1, 2010 upon the implementation of new accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The Company has restricted the funding of the factoring joint venture to a maximum of $10 million.
     The increase in other non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods was primarily the result of $0.8 million and $0.2 million of foreign currency unrealized exchange gains associated with foreign currency held in cruise ship ATMs. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2010 BankAtlantic received $1.0 million from its on-line banking service provider as a result of business interruption issues relating to the conversion to the service provider’s products. The above increases in other non-interest income were partially offset during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods by lower commissions from investment products.

     The decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period resulted primarily from a decline in the workforce, lower employee benefit costs and higher than projected employee stock based compensation forfeitures. In July 2010, BankAtlantic reduced its workforce by 105 employees, or seven percent. Benefit costs, primarily health insurance and pension costs, were $0.2 million lower during the 2010 quarter compared to the 2009 quarter and stock-based compensation expense was $0.5 million lower during the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 quarter due to the workforce reduction and attrition.
     The substantial decline in employee compensation and benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period resulted primarily from the March 2009 and July 2010 workforce reductions discussed above. As a consequence of the work force reductions and attrition, the number of full-time equivalent employees declined from 1,770 at December 31, 2008 to 1,357 at September 30, 2010, or a 23% reduction. Benefit costs, primarily health insurance and pension costs, were $1.1 million lower during the 2010 nine month period compared to the same 2009 period and stock-based compensation expense was $0.7 million lower during the 2010 nine month period compared to the same 2009 period.
     The decline in occupancy and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily resulted from the consolidation of back-office facilities and lower depreciation and rent expense. Depreciation expense declined by $0.6 million and building maintenance, rent expense, real estate taxes and utilities declined by $0.7 million during the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 period. Depreciation expense declined by $1.7 million and building maintenance, rent expense, real estate taxes and utilities declined by $2.0 million during the 2010 nine month period compared to the same 2009 period.
     The increase in BankAtlantic’s advertising and business promotion expense during the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 period primarily related to promotions associated with the launch of BankAtlantic’s new on-line banking platform.
     Advertising and business promotion expenses remained at 2009 levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as the promotion costs associated with BankAtlantic on-line banking upgrade were offset by lower direct mail advertising as the marketing strategy focused less on direct mail advertising and more on enhancing customer relationships.
     The higher professional fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily resulted from legal and related costs in connection with the class-action securities litigation and secondarily from legal costs associated with tax certificate activities litigation, loan modifications and loan work-outs. Legal expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were partially offset by $1.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of insurance reimbursements in connection with the class action securities litigation. During 2010, litigation costs on cases alleging claims covered by insurance exceeded the deductible under our director and officer liability insurance and we began receiving eligible cost reimbursements from the insurance carrier. Insurance claim reimbursements are recognized as a reduction to legal fees when the claim is approved by the insurance carrier. The claims under our director and officer liability insurance are on-going and we expect to receive partial reimbursement for litigation costs associated with the pending securities litigation in future periods. Additionally, BankAtlantic engaged consulting firms during the third quarter of 2010 for assistance in process improvements and efficiency initiatives as well as evaluating sources of non-interest income. As a consequence, consulting fees increased $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods.
     The lower check losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods were primarily related to decreases in customer overdrafts, the lower number of new accounts as well as more stringent overdraft policies.
     The increase in telecommunication expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods resulted primarily from a $0.3 million reversal of a vendor conversion liability in the third quarter of 2009.
The costs associated with debt redemptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflects the prepayment of a $2 million FHLB advance obligation and $0.7 million repayment of a mortgage-backed bond that was scheduled to mature in September 2013.
     The costs associated with debt redemptions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were the result of prepayment penalties on FHLB advances incurred upon the prepayment of $315.0 million and $841.0 million,

respectively, of FHLB advances. The FHLB advances redeemed had higher interest rates than existing funding sources and were repaid to improve BankAtlantic’s net interest margin.
     The provision for tax certificates losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 reflects charge-offs and increases in tax certificate reserves for certain legacy out-of-state certificates in distressed markets. We have significantly reduced the acquisition of out-of-state tax certificates and concentrate the majority of our tax certificate acquisitions in Florida.
     The recovery for tax certificates during the three months ended September 30, 2009 primarily resulted from the extension of the redemption period of tax certificates in a particular market which reduced the allowance for tax certificates in that market.
     Loss (gain) on sale of real estate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 primarily represents gains on the sale of residential and tax certificate real estate owned. The above gains were offset by a $1.2 million loss on the sale of a real estate project during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The real estate project was acquired in connection with a financial institution acquisition during 2002.
     The impairment of assets held for sale relates to a management decision to pursue a sale of BankAtlantic’s Tampa operations. As a consequence, BankAtlantic reclassified its Tampa office properties and equipment to held-for-sale and recognized a $4.5 million impairment at the transfer date.
     The impairment of real estate held for development and sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflects additional impairment charges related to real estate that was originally acquired for branch expansion. The impairment of real estate held for development and sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 reflects impairments on a real estate project.
     Impairment of real estate owned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 relates primarily to foreclosed real estate acquired in connection with our tax certificate and purchased residential loan activities.
     Lease termination costs represent lease contracts, net of deferred rent reversals, originally executed for branch expansion. BankAtlantic is currently attempting to sublease or terminate the lease contracts and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 recognized additional losses associated with these operating leases as these leases are measured at fair value.
     Employee termination costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were the result of the workforce reductions discussed above.
     BankAtlantic tests goodwill for potential impairment annually or during interim periods if impairment indicators exist. Based on the results of an interim impairment evaluation, BankAtlantic recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. BankAtlantic had remaining goodwill of $13.1 million relating to its capital services reporting unit included in its statement of condition as of September 30, 2010. BankAtlantic performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2010 and determined that its goodwill associated with its capital services reporting unit was not impaired. If market conditions do not improve or deteriorate further, BankAtlantic may incur additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods.
     In October 2008, the FDIC adopted a restoration plan to restore its insurance fund to a predefined level. In June 2009, the FDIC imposed a special assessment on all depository institutions of five basis points on adjusted total assets. BankAtlantic’s portion of the FDIC depository institution special assessment was $2.4 million.
     The decrease in non-interest expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods reflects lower operating expenses related to the reduced workforce. Additionally, BankAtlantic incurred higher property maintenance costs associated with real estate owned and non-performing loans during the 2010 period compared to the same 2009 periods.

     Net interest expense increased during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period as a result of higher average debenture balances. The average balances on junior subordinated debentures increased from $302.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $315.7 million during the same 2010 period. The increase in average debenture balances resulted from the deferral of interest which began in March 2009. Average interest rates on subordinated debentures increased from 4.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 4.90% for the same 2010 period. Also included in net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $60,000 of interest income on two performing loans.
     Net interest expense declined during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulting from lower average interest rates during the 2010 period partially offset by higher debenture average balances. Average interest rates on junior subordinated debentures declined from 5.36% during the 2009 period to 4.73% during the 2010 period while average debenture balances increased from $298.2 million during the 2009 period to $312.3 million during the 2010 period. Also included in net interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $172,000 of interest income on two performing loans compared to $285,000 of interest income earned on the two loans during the same 2009 period.
     Non-interest income during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflects $292,000 and $826,000, respectively, of fees for executive services provided to BankAtlantic and the remaining non-interest income for the periods was equity earnings from the Parent Company’s investment in statutory business trusts that issue trust preferred securities.
     Non-interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of securities activities, fees for executive services provided to BankAtlantic and equity earnings from the Parent Company’s statutory business trusts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Parent Company recognized a $1.4 million other than temporary decline in value of an investment in an unrelated financial institution and recognized a $120,000 gain from the sale of 250,233 shares of Stifel common stock received in connection with the contingent earn-out payment from the sale of Ryan Beck. The Parent Company during the three and nine months ended, recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million of equity earnings from statutory business trusts, respectively, as well as $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of executive service fees.
     The increase in non-interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily related to higher professional fees associated with responding to a Securities and Exchange Commission notice of investigation as well as increased real estate owned losses and write-downs.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Parent Company foreclosed on a $5.2 million land acquisition, development and construction loan, and a $7.9 million builder land bank loan. The properties obtained from the two foreclosures were sold for cash proceeds of $9.8 million. The work-out subsidiary also received $0.3 million of loan principal repayments during the nine month period and recognized $14.5 million of charge-offs.
     The Parent Company’s non-accrual loans include large loan balance lending relationships. Three relationships account for 54.7% of its $19.9 million of non-accrual loans held by the Parent Company at September 30, 2010.

(4)   Acquisition and development (“A&D”).
 
(5)   Outstanding balance is the “Unpaid Principal Balance” less charge-offs.
     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 $4.4 million of charge-offs during the three months ended September 30, 2010 included a $2.1 million charge-off of a builder land bank loan with the balance related to acquisition, development and construction loans. Specific valuation allowances of $2.7 million were established on these loans during prior periods. The remaining charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily related to three loans. One loan was charged-off $2.7 million upon the foreclosure and sale of the collateral. One loan was charged-off by $5.7 million and the other loan’s entire balance of $1.2 million was charged-off upon the sale of the remaining collateral. The Parent Company had established specific valuation allowances of $8.6 million on these three loans in prior periods.
     During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Parent Company’s work-out subsidiary foreclosed on one loan charging the loan down $1.6 million to the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral less cost to sell. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Parent Company foreclosed on three loans charging the loans down $5.1 million. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Parent Company’s work-out subsidiary specific valuation allowance was increased $3.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, associated with a decline in collateral values on non-performing loans.
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Consolidated Financial Condition
     Total assets at September 30, 2010 were $4.5 billion compared to $4.8 billion at December 31, 2009. The changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010 are summarized below:
    Increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflecting $58.5 million of higher interest bearing cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank associated with daily cash management activities;
 
    Increase in interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions associated with the investment of excess cash reflecting that yields on certificates of deposit at federally insured financial institutions were higher than alternative short term investment yields;
 
    Increase in securities available for sale reflecting the purchase of $253.3 million of agency and municipal securities partially offset by the sale of $43.8 million of mortgage-backed securities as well as repayments;
 
    Increase in derivatives associated with a foreign currency derivative position executed during 2010 as an economic hedge of foreign currency used in our ATM cruise ship operations;
 
    Decrease in tax certificate balances primarily relating to redemptions partially offset by the purchase of $97.3 million of tax certificates during 2010;
 
    Decrease in loans receivable balances associated with $107.9 million of charge-offs, $40.7 million of loans transferred to REO, and repayments of loans in the ordinary course of business combined with a significant decline in loan originations and purchases;
 
    Decrease in accrued interest receivables primarily resulting from tax certificate activities and lower loan balances;
 
    Decrease in real estate held for development and sale reflecting the sale of a $6.5 million property acquired in connection with a financial institution acquisition during 2002;
 
    Increase in real estate owned associated with residential and commercial loan foreclosures;
 
    Decrease in investments in unconsolidated companies associated with the consolidation of our factoring joint venture; and
 
    Decrease in office properties and equipment resulting from depreciation and the transfer of $18.1 million of fixed assets to assets held for sale net of impairments ;
 
    Increase in assets held for sale associated with cash and fixed assets transferred to held for sale upon the announcement that BankAtlantic intended to pursue the sale of its Tampa operations; and
 
    Decline in other assets reflecting receipt of a $31 million income tax refund associated with a net operating loss carry-back.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Currently, the Parent Company’s 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 dividends, and issuance of equity and debt securities, although no dividends from BankAtlantic are anticipated or contemplated for the foreseeable future. The Parent Company has historically used its funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, pay debt service and shareholder dividends, repay borrowings, invest in equity securities and other investments, and fund operations, including funding servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses of its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. At September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp had approximately $318.8 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding with maturities ranging from 2032 through 2037. The aggregate annual interest obligations on this indebtedness totaled approximately $14.7 million based on interest rates at September 30, 2010 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 $24.6 million that would otherwise have been paid during the 21 months ended September 30, 2010 were deferred. The Parent Company has the ability under the junior subordinated debentures to continue to defer interest payments 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 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 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 $73.9 million of unpaid interest based on average interest rates as of September 30, 2010. The Company’s financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected if interest payments were deferred for a prolonged time period.
     During the year ended December 31, 2009 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Parent Company did not receive dividends from BankAtlantic. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Parent Company in subsequent periods is subject to regulations and Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) approval and is based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income. Because BankAtlantic has an accumulated deficit during the prior two years, BankAtlantic is required to file an application to receive approval of the OTS in order to pay dividends to the Company. The OTS would not approve any distribution that would cause BankAtlantic to fail to meet its capital requirements or if the OTS believes that a capital distribution by BankAtlantic constitutes an unsafe or unsound action or practice, and there is no assurance that the OTS will approve future capital distributions from BankAtlantic. BankAtlantic has not filed an application with the OTS for approval to pay a dividend since September 2008 and the Company does not expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic during 2010 or for the foreseeable future. However, the Company may receive dividends from its asset work-out subsidiary upon the monetizing of the subsidiaries’ non-

performing loans. There is no assurance that the Parent Company will be able to monetize the loans on acceptable terms, if at all.
     BankAtlantic Bancorp on a parent Company basis has committed not to incur, issue, renew or rollover any current lines of credit, guarantee the debt of any entity or otherwise incur any additional debt without receiving the prior written non-objection of the OTS.
     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 the rights offering discussed below, $55 million of securities remain available for future issuance under this registration statement.
     On June 18, 2010 a prospectus supplement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a $25 million rights offering to the Company’s shareholders. The Company distributed to each holder of record who owned shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock on June 14, 2010 non-transferable subscription rights to purchase 0.327 shares of Class A common stock for each share of Class A and Class B common stock owned on that date. The rights offering was for an aggregate amount of $25 million with a subscription price of $1.50 per share. Shareholders who exercised their basic subscription rights in full were given the opportunity to request to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that were not subscribed for in the rights offering.
     During June 2010, BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) exercised its basic subscription rights, in full, amounting to 5,986,865 shares, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135 shares of Class A common stock to the extent available. In connection with the exercise of its subscription rights, BFC delivered to the Company $15.0 million in cash, which represented the full purchase price for all of the shares subscribed for by BFC. In exchange, the Company issued to BFC 4,697,184 shares of Class A common stock, which represented substantially all of its basic subscription rights exercise (less only rights relating to shares held in street name), and delivered to BFC a $8.0 million promissory note for the balance of the funds received. The promissory note had a scheduled maturity of July 30, 2010 and was payable in cash or shares of Class A common stock issuable to BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the rights offering. The delivery of funds by BFC directly to the Company in connection with the exercise of its subscription rights enabled the Company to contribute the $15.0 million of proceeds from the promissory note and the issuance of Class A common stock to BankAtlantic as a capital contribution prior to the end of the 2010 second quarter.
     In July 2010 in connection with the completion of the rights offering, the Company satisfied the promissory note due to BFC in accordance with its terms by issuing to BFC the additional 5,302,816 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock subscribed for by BFC in the rights offering.
     The rights offering was completed on July 20, 2010 with the Company issuing an aggregate of 13,340,379 shares of Class A common stock for net proceeds of approximately $20 million, including 10,000,000 shares issued to BFC.
     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 in 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.
     During January 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp commenced cash offers to purchase all outstanding trust preferred securities having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $285 million at a purchase price of $200 per $1,000 liquidation amount, or an aggregate of $57 million. During February 2010, the offer to purchase with respect to the approximate $55 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities issued by BBC Capital Trust II expired without any such trust preferred securities being repurchased, while the expiration date for the offers to purchase relating to the remaining $230 million of trust preferred securities was extended. On May 21, 2010, the Company increased the purchase price for each Offer to $600 cash per $1,000 in principal amount of each series of the TruPS, which would have been an aggregate amount of $138 million if all the TruPS were purchased. The Company had been advised that consents were received from the holders of in excess of 66 2/3% of the most-senior classes of notes issued by Preferred Term Securities IX, Inc. (“PreTSL IX”). The consents directed the trustee of PreTSL IX, The Bank of New York Mellon, to accept the offer for $25.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Fixed/Floating Rate Capital Securities of BBC Capital Statutory Trust X (the “BBC X TruPS”) held by PreTSL IX (the “offer”). The Bank of New York Mellon advised the Company that it would not accept the offer made to PreTSL IX without receiving a greater percentage of consents. We disagreed with The Bank of New York Mellon’s interpretation and believed that the consents received exceeded the threshold required by the indenture of PreTSL IX to authorize the trustee to accept the offer made to PreTSL IX. We filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida seeking a declaratory judgment and order from the Court directing The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and without any liability to the holders of any class of notes issued by PreTSL IX, to act on the direction received.

In August 2010, we terminated the offers with respect to the $230 million of TruPS and dismissed the lawsuit filed against The Bank of New York Mellon. Upon the termination of the offers, the Company recognized $0.8 million of tender transaction costs included in other expenses in the Company’s statement of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Parent Company contributed $28 million of capital to BankAtlantic and during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Parent Company contributed $105 million of capital to BankAtlantic. The Parent Company did not contribute any capital to BankAtlantic during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
     The Parent Company is generally required to provide BankAtlantic with managerial assistance and capital as the OTS may determine necessary under applicable regulations and supervisory standards. Any such financing would be sought through public or private offerings, 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 convertible or exercisable for our Class A common stock could be highly dilutive for our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that any such financing will 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 September 30, 2010.

     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 September 30, 2010 was $32.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Parent Company received net cash flows of $9.3 million from its work-out subsidiary.
BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources
     BankAtlantic’s primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans, tax certificates and securities available for sale; proceeds from the sale of loans and securities available for sale; 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. BankAtlantic’s liquidity will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. BankAtlantic’s 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’s 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. BankAtlantic’s 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 or grow deposits, which may not be successful in generating deposits, and which would increase its cost of funds or reduce its net interest income. BankAtlantic has committed not to offer interest rates on its deposits which are significantly higher than market area rates. Additionally, BankAtlantic’s 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. BankAtlantic’s unused lines of credit increased from $760 million as of December 31, 2009 to $915 million as of September 30, 2010 due to increases in available collateral resulting from the purchase of agency and municipal securities partially offset by lower loan balances. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
the capital markets, deterioration in BankAtlantic’s 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.
     In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law permanently raising the maximum standard deposit insurance to $250,000 per depositor, for each ownership category as defined by the FDIC. In addition to this standard insurance coverage, the FDIC has announced that participating depository institutions may provide full deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts with rates at or below fifty basis points, regardless of dollar amount. This new, temporary guarantee was scheduled to expire at December 31, 2010; however, the act extended the program until December 31, 2012. BankAtlantic “opted-in” to the additional coverage on the subject deposits. As a result, BankAtlantic is assessed a 15-basis point surcharge for non-interest bearing deposit transaction account balances exceeding the insured amount.
     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 $180 million and to obtain a $252 million letter of credit primarily securing public deposits as of September 30, 2010. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantic’s residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate and consumer home equity loans. BankAtlantic’s unused available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $516 million at September 30, 2010. An additional source of liquidity for BankAtlantic is its securities portfolio. As of September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $391 million of unpledged securities that could be sold or pledged for additional borrowings with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve or other financial institutions. BankAtlantic is a participating institution in the Federal Reserve Treasury Investment Program for up to $2.7 million in funding and at September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $1.8 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic is also eligible to participate in the Federal Reserve’s 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 $8 million as of September 30, 2010, with no amounts outstanding under this program at September 30, 2010. 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 BankAtlantic’s liquidity would 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 September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $19.1 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 $337.6 million as of September 30, 2010.
     Historically, brokered deposits previously served as an additional source of liquidity. Included in deposits at September 30, 2010 was $26.7 million in brokered deposits. BankAtlantic has committed not to acquire or renew its brokered deposit balances and expects the balance of its brokered deposits to decline for the foreseeable future.
     BankAtlantic’s 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 have made it more difficult for us and for financial institutions generally 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. There is no assurance that further deterioration in the financial markets will not 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 by reducing assets, increasing agency guaranteed securities and paying down borrowings.
     BankAtlantic’s commitment to originate and purchase loans was $49.3 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $61.1 million at September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2010, total loan commitments represented approximately 1.52% of net loans receivable.
     At September 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had mortgage-backed securities of approximately $19.4 million pledged to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, $4.6 million pledged to secure public deposits, and $2.7 million pledged to secure treasury tax and loan accounts and potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve discount window.

     Savings institutions are also subject to the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”). Regulations implementing the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA define specific capital categories based on FDICIA’s defined capital ratios, as discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The OTS at its discretion can require an institution to maintain capital amounts and ratios significantly above the “well capitalized” requirements based on the risk profile of the specific institution. BankAtlantic currently expects to receive formal communication from the OTS that we anticipate will require BankAtlantic to maintain regulatory capital ratios at levels above the minimum amounts required for “well capitalized” institutions. Higher capital requirements could require BankAtlantic to raise additional capital or to reduce its asset size further, making it more difficult to achieve profitability. There is no assurance that BankAtlantic or the Company would be successful in raising additional capital in subsequent periods and the inability to raise capital or otherwise meet regulatory requirements would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
     BankAtlantic works closely with its regulators during the course of its exams and on an ongoing basis. Communications with our regulators include providing information on an ad-hoc, one-time or regular basis related to areas of regulatory oversight and bank operations. As part of such communications, BankAtlantic has provided to its regulators forecasts, strategic business plans and other information relating to anticipated asset balances, asset quality, capital levels, expenses, anticipated earnings, levels of brokered deposits and liquidity. Additionally, BankAtlantic is subject to various restrictions, which among other things include that BankAtlantic will not, unless pursuant to an approved business plan or permitted by the OTS, increase its assets, originate or purchase new commercial real estate loans, acquire or renew brokered deposits or pay dividends to the Parent Company. Further, it may not solicit deposits by offering interest rates significantly higher than market area rates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     The discussion contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, under Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” provides quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Company’s primary market risk, which is interest rate risk.
     The majority of BankAtlantic’s 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 BankAtlantic’s net interest income as well as the valuation of its assets and liabilities. BankAtlantic’s interest rate risk position did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For a discussion on the effect of changing interest rates on BankAtlantic’s earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, see Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Net Interest Income.”

     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 as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act were effective as of September 30, 2010 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 SEC’s 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 September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
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 purported class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company and four of its current or former officers. The Defendants in this action are BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., James A. White, Valerie C. Toalson, Jarett S. Levan, 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 BankAtlantic’s 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 promulgated thereunder and seeks unspecified damages. On December 12, 2007, the Court consolidated into Hubbard a separately filed action captioned Alarm Specialties, Inc. v. BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., No. 0:07—cv-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. The Company believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions. A jury trial on these claims commenced on October 12, 2010 and the jury is currently in deliberations. Plaintiffs are seeking damages with respect to shares that were purchased during and held throughout the class period of $0.37 per share for a portion of the class period and $2.93 per share for another portion of the class period. As the number of shares for which any damage claim could be asserted is not determinable at this time, the amount of any loss that might be incurred by the Company if the claims are decided against the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
