NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida-based financial services holding company that offers a wide range of banking and investment products and services through its subsidiaries. The Company’s principal assets include the capital stock of its subsidiaries: BankAtlantic, its banking subsidiary; and RB Holdings, Inc., a holding company that wholly owns Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. (“Ryan Beck”), a federally registered broker-dealer. BankAtlantic is a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which provides traditional retail banking services and a wide range of commercial banking products and related financial services. Ryan Beck is a full service broker-dealer headquartered in Florham Park, New Jersey which offers a wide range of investment and insurance products for retail and institutional clients.

On December 31, 2003, the Company completed the spin-off of its wholly owned real estate development subsidiary, Levitt Corporation (“Levitt”), and during the year ended December 31, 2003, Ryan Beck sold two of its subsidiaries, The GMS Group, LLC (“GMS”) and Cumberland Advisors (“Cumberland”). Accordingly, the financial information of Levitt, GMS and Cumberland is not included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 nor in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. For the comparable periods ended June 30, 2003, the financial information of the above companies is included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows; but the information is excluded from the revenues and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and is instead included as discontinued operations.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Stock Based Compensation

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, there are two methods of accounting for stock options, the intrinsic value method and the fair value method. The Company elects to value its options under the intrinsic value method. As a consequence, the Company accounts for its stock based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations.

10. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system and regulatory environment. The activities of reportable segments exclude discontinued operations, extraordinary gains (losses) and income (loss) from changes in accounting principles. The accounting policies of these reportable segments are the same as those of the Company.

As of January 1, 2004, the Company implemented a new internal reporting methodology for evaluating operating segment performance for BankAtlantic’s reportable segments. Additionally, Ryan Beck changed the composition of its reportable segments, creating three reportable segments. As a result of Ryan Beck’s change, the Company’s results of operations are now reported through seven reportable segments instead of five reportable segments reported by the Company in prior periods. Segment reporting for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was restated to conform to the new methodology.

The following summarizes the aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into reportable segments:


Reportable Segment		Operating Segments Aggregated

The amounts included in the three BankAtlantic reportable segments are derived using a management reporting model that includes the methodologies of funds transfer pricing and activity based costing. Exposure to interest rate risk is managed centrally and reflected in BankAtlantic’s segment reporting under the heading entitled “Treasury”. In each segment the funds transfer pricing model charges each interest earning asset with a duration-matched cost of funds at the date of origination for the life of the asset or until a variable rate asset reprices. This matching of durations between interest earning assets and rate-bearing liabilities attempts to isolate the net interest income of each banking operating segment from interest rate risk and places the gains and losses from BankAtlantic’s management of interest rate risk in Treasury. The duration on savings and transaction account deposit products that do not have maturities were estimated based on a deposit duration analysis performed by a third party consultant. The activity based costing model allocates costs to the activities and processes that create the expenses and transfers costs for services provided by one segment to another.

Net charge-offs or recoveries are allocated to the BankAtlantic reportable segment that generated the loss or recovery.

Non-interest income and expenses are credited to the reportable segment that generated the revenues or costs. Intersegment costs are allocated to the operating segments based on an activity based costing model.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

Income tax expense is allocated based on a standard tax rate of 36% for BankAtlantic’s reportable segments.

The Treasury net contribution represents the difference between the actual net interest income earned by BankAtlantic and the aggregate net interest income allocated to the reportable segments calculated using funds transfer pricing methodologies.

“Other” includes discontinued loan products and unallocated corporate overhead. Discontinued loan products represent the net interest income and net recoveries from our discontinued loan products (small business loans originated before January 1, 2001, consumer indirect, syndication and lease financing.) Unallocated corporate overhead represents expenses that were not assigned to bank reportable segments through the activity based costing model. These overhead costs cannot be broken down and attributed directly to the activities of specific reportable segments, and therefore allocation of costs would have to be based on subjective measures that could distort the performance of the reportable segments. As a consequence, management has decided not to allocate these overhead costs. These overhead costs are primarily back office costs, such as human resources, accounting, finance, auditing, and data processing.

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. (the “Company,” which may also be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) and its subsidiaries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The principal assets of the Company consist of its ownership of these subsidiaries, which include BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and its subsidiaries (“BankAtlantic” or “Bank”) and RB Holdings, Inc., the holding company for Ryan Beck & Co., Inc., a brokerage and investment banking firm, and its subsidiaries (“Ryan Beck”).

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. When used in this document and in any documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “may,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions identify certain of such forward-looking statements. 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 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.

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 statement 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 real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the purchase method of accounting, the valuation of securities, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and accounting for contingencies. The six accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are: (i) allowance for loan losses; (ii) valuation of securities; (iii) impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets; (v) accounting for business combinations; and (vi) accounting for contingencies.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Period:

Income from continuing operations increased 86% from the same 2003 period. This increase was primarily related to a 658% increase in earnings at Ryan Beck and an 8% increase in earnings at BankAtlantic.

The significant increase in Ryan Beck earnings was attributable to increased merger and acquisition-related business during the quarter that resulted in higher fee income for its investment banking segment. The higher investment banking revenues were partially offset by lower revenues from commissions and principal transactions reflecting decreased activity by individual customers based on market conditions during the period.

The increased earnings at BankAtlantic was primarily the result of additional fee income related to increased deposit accounts at the Bank, an improvement in the provision for loan losses and an increase in the net interest margin.

The additional fee income earned on deposit accounts is primarily attributable to BankAtlantic’s “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives. Since inception of these initiatives in January 2002, BankAtlantic has opened over 331,000 new checking and savings accounts, including approximately 42,000 during the second quarter of 2004.

The credit quality of BankAtlantic’s loan portfolio continued to improve during the second quarter of 2004 as BankAtlantic continued to emphasize collateral based lending and the balances of discontinued loan products continued to decline. During the quarter, BankAtlantic recovered $2.1 million from the guarantor on a residential construction loan that was charged-off in July 2002. Primarily as a result of this recovery and recoveries associated with discontinued loan products, BankAtlantic had net recoveries for the quarter of $3.3 million.

The improvement in BankAtlantic’s net interest margin reflects the growth in low cost deposits plus prepayments of high cost FHLB advances that occurred in each of the three preceding quarters.

The above favorable effects on earnings were partially offset by higher compensation, occupancy and advertising expenses primarily associated with the “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives and lower real estate revenues associated with a real estate joint venture.

In December 2003, the Company completed the spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Levitt Corporation (“Levitt”), and transferred its investment in Bluegreen Corporation to Levitt. During the year ended December 31, 2003, Ryan Beck sold two of its subsidiaries, GMS and Cumberland. The above transactions were presented as discontinued operations in our statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003.

In July 2004, BankAtlantic announced a branch expansion and renovation strategic plan. The goals of the plan are to renovate all 73 existing branches by December 2005 and to open between eight to ten new branches during 2005. The plan was adopted in response to the early success of the “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives, including the

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

growth in BankAtlantic’s low cost deposits, since January 2002 and the desire to expand its operations in its current markets and to other markets.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Period:

Income from continuing operations increased 88% from the same 2003 period, primarily as a result of the items discussed above. Additionally, income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2004 was enhanced by recognition of a $22.8 million gain in connection with a March 2004 settlement of litigation with a technology company in which the Company was an investor. Income from continuing operations for the 2004 period was partially offset by prepayment penalties of $11.7 million that BankAtlantic incurred by prepaying high fixed interest rate FHLB advances totaling $108 million. Excluding the impact of the litigation settlement gain and the cost associated with FHLB advance prepayment penalties and other debt redemptions, income from continuing operations would have been $31.6 million for the first six months of 2004, representing a 45% increase over $21.7 million earned for the corresponding period in 2003.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Period:

The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from an improvement in the net interest margin and a significant increase in low cost deposits. While further margin improvement will largely depend on the future pattern of interest rates, we believe our level of low cost deposits, coupled with the positioning of our balance sheet for rising interest rates should enable BankAtlantic to benefit from a higher interest rate environment.

The significant factors resulting in the improvement in the net interest margin were a substantial reduction in our deposit interest expense associated with a change in our deposit mix, the repayment of high rate FHLB advances and a historically low interest rate environment during the current quarter. These factors were partially offset by a decline in average asset yields primarily due to the downward re-pricing of floating rate loans and new loans being originated or purchased at rates lower than maturing or prepaid loans.

A major factor resulting in the reduction in deposit interest expense was low cost deposit growth. Low cost deposits comprised approximately 50% of all deposits at June 30, 2004 versus 41% at June 30, 2003. Higher rate certificate of deposit accounts declined from 30% of total deposits at June 30, 2003 to 22% at June 30, 2004. Growth in BankAtlantic’s low cost deposit accounts is primarily attributable to its Florida’s Most Convenient Bank initiatives.

BankAtlantic’s average interest earning asset balances declined primarily due to falling interest rates resulting in increased refinancing and prepayment of many residential loans originated or purchased by BankAtlantic. This reduced the balances in both its residential mortgage loan portfolio and its taxable investment securities portfolio. At the same time, BankAtlantic experienced growth in its commercial real estate loans and in consumer equity lines of credit and invested in tax exempt securities, which slightly mitigated the negative impact of the residential loan refinancings and prepayments.

BankAtlantic chose to use some of the proceeds from maturing loans and investments to decrease borrowings. BankAtlantic prepaid some of its FHLB advances in each of the three preceding quarters with a view towards favorably impacting its net interest margin in future periods. Despite these prepayments, BankAtlantic’s average FHLB advance rates only declined slightly from the comparable 2003 period because a portion of the remaining FHLB advance borrowings have higher rates than the prepaid FHLB advances. Also, interest expense on BankAtlantic’s short-term borrowings was substantially lower during the current quarter due to the lower rates and lower balances on its debt.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Periods:

The substantial improvement in net charge-offs primarily resulted from a $2.1 million recovery in the 2004 second quarter of a residential construction loan that was charged off in 2002 and lower net charge-offs associated with discontinued loan products. The remaining balance of these discontinued loan products declined to $19.6 million from $51.4 million a year earlier. Discontinued loan products are lease financing, indirect consumer lending, non-real estate syndication lending, and certain types of small business lending.

The negative provisions for loan losses during the 2004 periods were due to a $2.1 million residential construction loan recovery and recoveries on other loans, partially offset by $2.1 million of specific reserves relating to two commercial business loans and one aviation lease having an aggregate outstanding balance of $4.6 million. The reserves were established due to the weakened financial conditions of the borrowers.

BankAtlantic’s allowance for loan losses was 1.18% and 1.22% of total loans at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The historically low charge-off experience and the resulting decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans reflect the continued improvement in credit quality largely associated with an increased emphasis on collateral based lending, coupled with the run-off of discontinued loan products in the portfolio.

Adjustments in the 2003 first quarter to the allowance for loan losses were associated with loans acquired in connection with the 2002 purchase of Community Savings Bancshares, Inc. (“Community” or “Community Savings”). BankAtlantic reduced its allowance for loan losses and reduced goodwill by $734,000 during the 2003 first quarter for those acquired loans which had been assigned a valuation allowance at the acquisition date and which had either matured or were prepaid.

Non-performing assets increased slightly from December 2003. The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans, tax certificates and repossessed assets declined from 0.36% at December 31, 2003 to 0.35% at June 30, 2004. During the 2004 period, non-performing assets were unfavorably impacted by two loans and one aviation lease transferring to non-accrual status as a result of the weakened financial conditions of the borrowers. The aviation lease was included in restructured loans at December 31, 2003. Non-performing assets were favorably impacted by fewer residential non-performing loans partly due to increased efforts on the collection of residential loans serviced by others. The decline in repossessed assets was primarily due to the runoff of discontinued loan products, sale of real estate owned and strengthened credit standards.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Periods:

The higher non-interest income was primarily due to service charges and fees associated with a substantial increase in deposit customers. This increase was partially offset by a decline in real estate income associated with real estate activities of a joint venture that was acquired in connection with the Community acquisition.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

The increase in deposit accounts was primarily the result of BankAtlantic’s “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives. Since launching these initiatives in January 2002, BankAtlantic has opened over 331,000 new checking and savings accounts, including approximately 42,000 and 87,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. The “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives include seven-day branch banking, extended weekday branch hours, 24/7 live customer service, Totally Free Checking, free online banking, and dozens of other products and services not offered by BankAtlantic prior to January 2002.

The increase in other service charges and fees resulted from an 18% and 20% increase, respectively, in fees received from check card and ATM usage. This increase was chiefly due to the increased number of deposit accounts which resulted in increased usage of check cards and ATMs, and an increase in debit card interchange fees during 2004. The additional ATM and debit card income was partially offset by lower late payment fees and prepayment penalties on loans.

Revenues from deposit service charges were up 36% and 34% over the comparable 2003 periods. The increase was primarily the result of overdraft fees from transaction accounts. Overdraft fee income increased from $8.7 million and $16.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, to $11.8 million and $21.9 million during the same 2004 periods. The higher overdraft fees were due to both an increase in the number of accounts and additional fees assessed on overdrafts.

Real estate income reflects income of a joint venture acquired as part of the Community acquisition. The decrease in real estate income reflects a decline in the number of units closed by the joint venture, compared to the same 2003 periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the joint venture had closings of 5 units and 7 units, respectively. During the same 2003 periods, the joint venture closed on 12 units and 17 units, respectively.

Other income reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was favorably impacted by an $115,000 and a $245,000 increase, respectively, in gains on loans held for sale. The additional loan sale income was associated with the origination of residential loans held for sale with an independent mortgage company, a program which the Bank initiated in August 2003. Other income also included an increase in fee income received for banking services provided to our deposit customers.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Periods:

Compensation and benefit expenses increased 13% and 16% in the second quarter and first half of 2004, respectively, compared to the same 2003 periods. In addition to annual employee salary increases, the growth in this expense category resulted in large part from an increase in the number of BankAtlantic employees and higher employee benefit costs. The “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives, which include extended branch business hours and services, and the resulting substantial increase in deposit customers, required BankAtlantic to hire additional employees to staff its branches and operations. The number of full time equivalent BankAtlantic employees increased to 1,453 at June 30, 2004, versus 1,244 at December 31, 2002.

Occupancy and equipment expenses during the second quarter of 2004 increased 16% over those in the second quarter of 2003. The higher expenses resulted from additional depreciation expense associated with branch fixed assets and leasehold improvements. In June 2004, BankAtlantic initiated a program to renovate its existing 73 branches.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

Management anticipates that the renovation plan will be completed by December 2005. In connection with this program and in conjunction with this decision, BankAtlantic shortened the estimated useful lives of branch fixed assets and leasehold improvements affected by the renovation plans, causing an acceleration in depreciation expense on $2.8 million of fixed assets and leasehold improvements. The shortened asset lives increased depreciation expense by approximately $400,000 during the second quarter of 2004, and will increase depreciation expense in subsequent quarters through December 2005. The remaining increase in occupancy and equipment expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to the engagement of additional guard services to increase security at BankAtlantic’s branches during extended business hours.

Advertising expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 increased significantly as a direct result of an aggressive BankAtlantic marketing campaign that commenced in early 2004 and included television and radio advertising to promote the Bank’s “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives. The marketing campaign is ongoing, and BankAtlantic anticipates continued higher advertising and promotion expenditures during the 2004 fiscal year compared to those incurred during the 2003 fiscal year.

The cost associated with debt redemption related to a prepayment penalty of $11.7 million incurred when BankAtlantic prepaid $108 million of FHLB advances with an average interest rate of 5.55% and originally maturing in 2007-2008. BankAtlantic expects to recover this expense in future periods through the savings realized from lower borrowing costs.

Professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 declined primarily because the Bank had incurred significant legal fees during the comparable 2003 periods in connection with a lawsuit filed against it relating to the “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives. The decline in fees was partially offset by increased professional fees incurred during the 2004 periods in connection with regulatory compliance.

The decrease in other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same 2003 period, primarily resulted from a $257,000 branch impairment writedown during 2003 and lower expenses associated with the real estate joint venture acquired in the Community transaction. The decrease in other expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same 2003 period, primarily resulted from the items noted in the preceding sentence, and from a $750,000 write-down of an REO property during 2003.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Periods:

Income from continuing operations increased significantly as a result of higher investment banking activity from Ryan Beck’s Financial Institutions Group.

Net interest income increased 44% and 38%, respectively. This increase primarily resulted from interest earned by Ryan Beck on approximately $255 million of customer margin debit balances and fees earned in connection with approximately $1.1 billion in customer money market balances. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income was Ryan Beck’s repayment of a subordinated loan from the Company in the third quarter of 2003, eliminating current interest expense on that loan.

Principal transaction revenue decreased 10% and 6%, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease was decreased Private Client Group customer activity as a result of current market conditions. Additionally, income from Ryan Beck’s deferred compensation plan assets was down 35% and 59%, respectively, and related compensation expense associated with the plan was down by similar amounts.

Investment banking revenue increased 255% and 140%, respectively. Through the second quarter of 2004, Ryan Beck’s Financial Institutions Group completed nine merger and acquisition transactions, versus five through June 30, 2003. Additionally, this group helped raise over $1.2 billion in capital financing transactions through the second quarter of 2004, versus $0.5 billion through June 30, 2003.

Commission revenue increased 3% and 16%, respectively. While the three month quarterly comparison was relatively flat, the increase in the six months ended June 30, 2004 was attributable mainly to the increase in Ryan Beck’s sales transaction volume in the first quarter 2004.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

Employee compensation and benefits increased 9% and 13%, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in bonus accruals resulting from the additional investment banking revenue.

Advertising and promotion expense increased 50% and 20%, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to expenses associated with Ryan Beck’s most recent advertising campaign designed to expand Ryan Beck’s exposure through print and television media.

Professional fees decreased 43% and 41%, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the legal costs associated with litigation in which Ryan Beck has been involved as a result of having acquired certain assets and liabilities of Gruntal in 2002. During the first quarter of 2004, the bankruptcy court presiding over Gruntal’s bankruptcy proceedings entered an order confirming a plan of liquidation for Gruntal that included a third party release in favor of Ryan Beck and the Company, and as a result Ryan Beck expects that many of the claims against it associated with the Gruntal transaction will be permanently stayed or dismissed by the arbitration panels and courts hearing such claims.

Communications cost decreased 26% and 21%, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the elimination of duplicate services as the Gruntal operations were integrated into those of Ryan Beck.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to the Same 2003 Periods:

Interest on loans and investments during the 2004 quarter and six month period represents interest income recognized by the Company on loans to Levitt and interest income earned on a BankAtlantic reverse repurchase account. Interest on loans and investments during the comparable 2003 periods is interest income recognized by the Company on loans to Levitt and Ryan Beck as well as interest income earned on the BankAtlantic reverse repurchase account.

Interest expense declined during the second quarter of 2004 as a result of lower average debenture and notes payable balances. Average balances declined from $278 million during the 2003 second quarter to $263 million during the same 2004 period. The increase in interest expense during the 2004 six month period, resulted from the issuance of $77.3 million of junior subordinated debentures during March and April of 2003 in trust preferred securities offerings conducted by the Company. The proceeds of these 2003 offerings were used to repay $46.0 million of convertible

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

debentures and pay down by $16 million a bank line of credit. The junior subordinated debentures issued in these offerings had higher interest rates than the convertible debentures and the bank line of credit that their proceeds were used to pay.

Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries represents the equity earnings from trusts formed to issue trust preferred securities. The increase in earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2004, was primarily due to earnings from three new trusts established in March and April 2003.

The income from securities activities during the six months ended June 30, 2004 represents gains from mutual fund sales. The Company sold mutual funds to rebalance its investment portfolio to benchmark allocation percentages. The income from securities activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003 represented a gain realized from a liquidating dividend on an equity security.

The litigation settlement reflects proceeds from the settlement of litigation related to the Company’s prior investment of $15 million in a technology company. Pursuant to that settlement, the Company sold its stock in the technology company to a third party investor group for $15 million in cash, the Company’s original cost, and the Company received consideration from the technology company for legal expenses and damages, which consisted of $1.7 million in cash and 378,160 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock returned by the technology company to the Company.

The Company’s investment banking expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 resulted from fees paid by it to Ryan Beck in connection with Ryan Beck’s underwriting of the Company’s 2003 offerings of trust preferred securities. These fees are included in Ryan Beck’s investment banking income in Ryan Beck’s business segment results of operations but were eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company incurred compensation expense as a result of the transfer of investor relations and risk management staff to the Company, who were formerly employed by BankAtlantic as of January 1, 2004, This expense was partially offset by fees received by the Company for investor relations and risk management services provided by the Company to Levitt and BFC Financial Corporation, which are included in other income during 2004. Compensation expense during the 2003 periods primarily resulted from the issuance of Class A restricted stock to BankAtlantic employees and the amortization of a forgivable loan related to executive recruiting.

Costs associated with debt redemption during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 resulted from the Company redeeming its 5.625% convertible debentures at a redemption price of 102% of the principal amount. The loss on the redemption reflects a $732,000 write-off of deferred offering costs and a $917,000 call premium.

The increased professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily consisted of fees incurred in connection with the technology company litigation settled in 2004, regulatory compliance, and risk management consulting services provided to the Company by Bluegreen Corporation.

Financial Condition

Our total assets at June 30, 2004 were $5.4 billion, compared to $4.8 billion at December 31, 2003. The increase in total assets primarily resulted from:

•		Higher loan balances related to the purchase of residential and commercial loans as well as the origination of home equity loans;

•		Increases in securities available for sale balances associated with the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities;

•		Additions to property and equipment for the construction of BankAtlantic’s new corporate headquarters;

•		A receivable from Ryan Beck’s clearing agent associated with Ryan Beck’s trading activities;

•		Higher real estate inventory related to increased construction activity by a real estate joint venture acquired in connection with the Community acquisition; and

•		Higher FHLB stock investment due to increased FHLB advance borrowings.

The Company’s total liabilities at June 30, 2004 were $5.0 billion, compared to $4.4 billion at December 31, 2003.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

The increase in total liabilities primarily resulted from:

•		Higher low cost deposit balances and insured money fund savings account balances;

•		Increases in short-term borrowings and FHLB advances during the second quarter to fund loan and securities available for sale growth;

•		Additional securities sold but not yet purchased, associated with Ryan Beck trading activities; and

•		Increases in other liabilities associated with the purchases of securities available for sale awaiting settlement.

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2004 was $440.3 million compared to $413.5 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to earnings of $38.8 million and $7.2 million of proceeds and tax benefits from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. The above increases in stockholders’ equity were partially offset by the payment of $3.9 million of common stock dividends, a $6.1 million reduction in additional paid in capital resulting from the retirement of 378,160 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock received as part of the private technology company litigation settlement, $6.6 million of unrealized losses on securities available for sale, net of income tax benefits and $2.6 million reduction in additional paid in capital related to the acceptance of Class A common stock as consideration for the payment of withholding taxes and the exercise price which were due upon the exercise of Class A stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal source of liquidity is dividends from BankAtlantic and, to a lesser extent, Ryan Beck. The Company also obtains funds through the issuance of equity and debt securities, borrowings from financial institutions, liquidation of equity securities and other investments it holds, management fees from subsidiaries and affiliates and principal and interest payments from loans to Levitt Corporation. The Company also received $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2004 as part of the private technology company litigation settlement. The Company uses these funds to purchase debt and equity investments, provide capital to its subsidiaries, pay dividends to its shareholders and to fund operations. The Company’s annual debt service associated with its junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings is approximately $15.6 million. The Company’s estimated current annual dividends to common shareholders are approximately $7.8 million. During 2003, and during the first six months of 2004, the Company received $20.0 million and $5 million, respectively, of dividends from BankAtlantic. The declaration and payment of dividends and the ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements of the Company, indenture restrictions and loan covenants, and the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends to the Company. BankAtlantic’s dividends are subject to regulations and OTS approval and are based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income. In addition, Ryan Beck paid $5 million in dividends to the Company during the first quarter of 2004. Future dividend payments by Ryan Beck will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and capital requirements of Ryan Beck.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company transferred $18 million of exchange traded mutual funds and placed an additional $35 million of funds with a third party money manager subject to certain liquidity and concentration restrictions. It is anticipated that these funds will be invested in this manner until capital is needed to fund the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, including acquisitions, BankAtlantic’s branch expansion and renovation strategy, or for other business purposes. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2004, the Company invested $5 million in a hedge fund limited partnership which primarily invests in financial services companies.

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility of $30 million with an independent financial institution. The credit facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants relating to regulatory capital and maintenance of certain loan loss reserves, and is secured by the common stock of BankAtlantic. The Company has used this credit facility to temporarily fund acquisitions and asset purchases as well as for general corporate purposes. The credit facility had an outstanding balance of $100,000 at June 30, 2004, and the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants. Amounts outstanding accrue interest at the prime rate minus 50 basis points, and the facility matures on March 1, 2005.

BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources

BankAtlantic’s liquidity depends 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 sales also provide an internal source of liquidity.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

BankAtlantic’s primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans and tax certificates and securities available for sale; proceeds from the sale of loans and securities; proceeds from securities sold under agreements to repurchase; advances from the FHLB; and from operations. These funds were utilized to fund loan disbursements and purchases; cover deposit outflows; repay securities sold under agreements to repurchase; repay advances from the FHLB; purchase tax certificates; pay maturing certificates of deposit; pay operating expenses, including increased costs associated with regulatory compliance; and pay dividends to the Company. BankAtlantic has a $1.5 billion line of credit with the FHLB, subject to available collateral, with a maximum term of ten years. BankAtlantic has utilized its FHLB line of credit to borrow $883.7 million. The FHLB also issued a $63 million letter of credit to secure public deposits under this arrangement at June 30, 2004. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantic’s residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate loans. BankAtlantic’s available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $687.2 million at June 30, 2004. BankAtlantic has also established lines of credit for up to $205 million with other banks to purchase federal funds. BankAtlantic has various relationships to acquire brokered deposits. These relationships may be utilized as an alternative source of borrowings, if needed.

BankAtlantic’s commitments to originate and purchase loans at June 30, 2004 were $434.0 million and $89.9 million, respectively, compared to $329.8 million and $29.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2003. Additionally, BankAtlantic had commitments to purchase securities of $7.1 million and $17.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2004 and 2003. At June 30, 2004, loan commitments represented approximately 13.4% of loans receivable, net.

As of June 30, 2004, BankAtlantic had approximately $384.4 million in investments and mortgage-backed securities pledged against securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

During 2002, BankAtlantic paid $14.3 million to purchase a building to consolidate its headquarters and back office operations into a centralized facility. BankAtlantic has incurred approximately $10.0 million in renovation costs on this building. The total estimated cost to complete renovation is approximately $18.1 million, and the facility is expected to be completed in November 2004. The costs to complete renovation will be funded by cash flow from operations.

In July 2004, BankAtlantic announced its new branch de novo expansion strategy under which it will open between eight to ten branches in 2005. The total estimated cost to construct these branches is approximately $18 million. BankAtlantic estimates that each new branch will have first year losses of $225,000 on average, and will begin to contribute to earnings in 12 to 15 months following its opening. The first branch is anticipated to open during the first quarter of 2005. BankAtlantic expects to place these new branches within its current geographic market. If the strategy is successful, BankAtlantic anticipates expanding the concept to other markets.

In June 2004, BankAtlantic’s management finalized a plan to renovate the interior of all existing 73 BankAtlantic branches. The renovation of these branches is projected to be completed in December 2005, with an estimated cost of $13 million.

Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Ryan Beck’s primary source of funds during the six months ended June 30, 2004 were clearing broker borrowings, proceeds from the sale of securities owned, proceeds from securities sold but not yet purchased, and fees from customers. These funds were primarily utilized to pay operating expenses, pay dividends to the Company, fund the purchase of securities owned and fund capital expenditures.

In the ordinary course of business, Ryan Beck borrows under an agreement with its clearing broker by pledging securities owned as collateral primarily to finance its trading inventories. The amount and terms of the borrowings are subject to the lending policies of the clearing broker and can be changed at the clearing broker’s discretion. Additionally, the amount financed is also impacted by the market value of the securities owned which are pledged as collateral.

Ryan Beck is subject to the net capital provision of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, not to exceed 15 to 1. Additionally, Ryan Beck, as a market maker, is subject to supplemental requirements of Rule 15c3-1(a) 4, which provides for the computation of net capital to be based on the number of and price of issues in which markets are made by Ryan Beck, not to exceed $1.0 million. Ryan Beck’s regulatory net capital was $35.4 million, which was $34.4 million in excess of its required net capital of $1.0 million.

Ryan Beck operates under the provisions of paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission as a fully disclosed introducing broker and, accordingly, customer accounts are carried on the books of the clearing broker. However, Ryan Beck safekeeps and redeems municipal bond coupons for the benefit of its customers. Accordingly, Ryan Beck is subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 relating to possession or control and customer reserve requirements and was in compliance with such provisions at June 30, 2004.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market valuations that arise from interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk and our secondary market risk is equity price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, subjecting us to significant interest rate risk which would arise if the relative values of each of our assets and liabilities changed in conjunction with a general rise or decline in interest rates. We have developed a model using standard industry software to quantify our interest rate risk. A sensitivity analysis was performed measuring our potential gains and losses in net portfolio fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments at June 30, 2004 resulting from a change in interest rates. See Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for a detailed explanation of the model methodology and the assumptions we utilize.

Presented below is an analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, calculated utilizing the Company’s model. The table measures changes in net portfolio value for instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve in 100 basis point increments up or down.


As of June 30, 2004
		Net Portfolio
Changes		Value		Dollar
in Rate		Amount		Change
(dollars in thousands)
+200 bp		$	479,516	$	(34,374	)
+100 bp		$	509,978	$	(3,912	)
	0	$	513,890	$	—
-100 bp		$	490,297	$	(23,593	)
-200 bp		$	485,883	$	(28,007	)


As of December 31, 2003
		Net Portfolio
Changes		Value		Dollar
in Rate		Amount		Change
(dollars in thousands)
+200 bp		$	470,869	$	17,666
+100 bp		$	482,543	$	29,340
	0	$	453,203	$	—
-100 bp		$	408,921	$	(44,282	)
-200 bp		$	391,156	$	(62,047	)

Our net interest margin has improved since the third quarter of 2003. The improvement primarily resulted from the repayment of high fixed rate FHLB advances during each of the three preceding quarters as well as a significant increase in low cost deposits. Our asset and liability committee monitors BankAtlantic’s interest rate risk. Based on the committee’s on-going review, we determined that the repayment of a portion of BankAtlantic’s high fixed rate FHLB advances should have a positive impact on BankAtlantic’s net interest margin. During September 2003, December 2003, and March 2004, BankAtlantic prepaid $185 million, $140 million and $108 million, respectively, of FHLB advances and recognized losses of $2.0 million, $8.9 million and $11.7 million, respectively. BankAtlantic will continue to evaluate its high fixed rate FHLB advances in light of market interest rate conditions to determine whether additional prepayments

could reduce borrowing costs and improve its net interest margin. We expect BankAtlantic’s net interest margin for the 2004 year to be greater than in 2003 as a result of advance repayments and growth in low cost deposits.

Equity Price Risk

BankAtlantic Bancorp

BankAtlantic Bancorp maintains a portfolio of equity securities and exchange traded mutual funds that subject it to equity pricing risks arising in connection with changes in the relative values of its equity investments due to changing market and economic conditions. The following are hypothetical changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities at June 30, 2004, based on hypothetical percentage changes in fair value. Actual future price appreciation or depreciation may be different from the changes identified in the table below (dollars in thousands).


Percent			Available for Sale
Change in			Equity		Mutual		Dollar
Fair Value			Securities		Funds		Change
	20	%	$	2,017	$	21,947	$	3,994
	10	%	$	1,849	$	20,118	$	1,997
	0	%	$	1,681	$	18,289	$	—
	-10	%	$	1,513	$	16,460	$	(1,997	)
	-20	%	$	1,345	$	14,631	$	(3,994	)

Excluded from the above table is $1.8 million of investments in private companies and $5.0 million invested in a limited partnership hedge fund specializing in bank equities, for which no current liquid market exists. The ability to realize on or liquidate these investments will depend on future market conditions and is subject to significant risk.

Ryan Beck

Ryan Beck is exposed to the market risk that the financial instruments in which it trades and makes a market will fluctuate in value. These value fluctuations can be caused by changes in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads or other market forces. The Company, through Ryan Beck, is therefore indirectly exposed to these market risks arising from Ryan Beck’s trading and market making activities.

Ryan Beck’s management monitors risk in its trading activities by establishing limits and reviewing daily trading results, inventory aging, pricing, concentration and securities ratings. Ryan Beck uses a variety of tools, including aggregate and statistical methods. Value at Risk (“VaR”) is the principal statistical method used by Ryan Beck to monitor its risk, and this method measures the potential loss in the fair value of a portfolio due to adverse movements in underlying risk factors.

Ryan Beck uses an historical simulation approach to measuring VaR using a 99% confidence level, a one day holding period and the most recent three months average volatility. The 99% VaR means that, on average, one would not expect to exceed such loss amount more than one time every one hundred trading days if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period. The aggregate long and short value represents the one day market value of securities owned (long) and securities sold but not yet purchased (short) during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

The following table sets forth the high, low and average VaR for Ryan Beck during the period January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.

Changes in Internal Controls

In addition, we reviewed our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls during the last fiscal quarter.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all improper conduct. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of improper conduct, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

Further, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
