ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the compensation program for the Company’s executive officers and the executive officers of the Company’s subsidiary – BankAtlantic. Each of the Company’s executive officers also serves on the Executive Management Council of BankAtlantic with the other executive officers of BankAtlantic. The Compensation Committee reviews and determines all executive officer compensation, administers the Company’s equity incentive plans (including reviewing and approving grants to the Company’s executive officers), makes recommendations to shareholders with respect to proposals related to compensation matters and generally consults with management regarding employee compensation programs.

The Compensation Committee’s charter reflects these responsibilities, and the Compensation Committee and the Board periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the charter. The Board determines the Compensation Committee’s membership, which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee meets at regularly scheduled times during the year, and it may also hold specially scheduled meetings and take action by written consent. At Board meetings, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee reports on Compensation Committee actions and recommendations.

Throughout this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the term “named executive officers” is used to refer collectively to the individuals named in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 9.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Company’s compensation program for executive officers consists of a base salary, an annual cash incentive program, periodic grants of restricted stock or stock options, and health and welfare benefits. The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive officer compensation program is one that is designed to align the interests of the executive officers with those of shareholders by compensating the executive officers in a manner that advances both the short- and long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s compensation program for executive officers is appropriately based upon the performance of the Company, the performance and level of responsibility of the executive officer, and market data regarding the value of the executive officer’s position at organizations similar to the Company.

Pursuant to its authority under its charter to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of Mercer (US) Inc. (“Mercer”), a human resources consulting firm, to meet with and advise the Compensation Committee with respect to establishing the Company’s 2008 compensation program for Mr. Alan Levan, the Company’s Chairman, and Mr. Abdo, the Company’s Vice Chairman.

Messrs. Alan Levan and Abdo hold senior positions in BFC, the controlling shareholder of the Company, and Levitt, an affiliate of the Company that is also controlled by BFC. During 2007, in addition to the compensation paid to them by the Company, Messrs. Alan Levan and Abdo also received compensation from BFC and Levitt. While the Compensation Committee does not determine the compensation paid to Messrs. Alan Levan and Abdo by BFC and Levitt, the Compensation Committee considers the fact that Messrs. Alan Levan and Abdo allocate a portion of their time to those companies when determining the compensation the Company pays to them.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for the named executive officers, the Company’s other executive officers and the executive officers of BankAtlantic, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to all employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of and establishes the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of the Company’s Vice Chairman and President. The Company’s President reviews the performance of the other named executive officers, as well as other members of the Executive Management Council

of BankAtlantic. Based on these reviews, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of the other named executive officers and the other members of the Executive Management Council of BankAtlantic. These recommendations include, among others, those with respect to setting and adjusting base salary, annual cash incentive awards and equity awards. In approving compensation recommendations for such executive officers, the Compensation Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying upward or downward any recommended amounts or awards to executive officers. In 2007, the Compensation Committee accepted without modification the recommendations of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President with respect to the base salary, annual cash incentive awards and equity awards paid or to be paid by the Company to the executive officers.

Executive Officer Compensation Components

Based on the objectives outlined in the “Compensation Philosophy and Objectives” section above, the Compensation Committee has structured the Company’s compensation program for executive officers to motivate and reward the executive officers for achievements of the business goals set by the Company. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

	•		base salary;

	•		annual incentive program; and

	•		long-term equity incentive compensation.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee believes that the base salaries offered by the Company are competitive based on a review of market practices and the duties and responsibilities of each executive officer. In setting base salaries, the Compensation Committee periodically examines market compensation levels and trends observed in the market for executives of comparable experience and skills. Market information is used as an initial frame of reference for establishing and adjusting base salaries. The Compensation Committee believes that the named executive officers’ base salaries should be competitive with those of other executives with comparable experience at organizations similar to the Company.

In addition to examining market compensation levels and trends, the Compensation Committee makes base salary decisions for the named executive officers based on an annual review by the Compensation Committee with input and recommendations from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. The Compensation Committee’s review includes, among other things, the functional and decision-making responsibilities of each position, the significance of the executive officer’s specific area of individual responsibility to the Company’s financial performance and achievement of overall goals, and the contribution, experience and work performance of each executive officer.

With respect to base salary decisions for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee made an assessment of Mr. Alan Levan’s past performance as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its expectations as to his future contributions to the Company, as well as the factors described above for the other named executive officers, including examining market compensation levels and trends and evaluating his individual performance. Mercer provided a presentation to the Compensation Committee regarding the overall compensation to be paid to Chairman Levan and Vice Chairman Abdo, including market surveys and comparisons, market data and alternatives to consider when making determinations with respect to appropriate compensation. In evaluating the performance of Mr. Alan Levan for purposes of not only his base salary, but also his cash bonus under the Company’s annual incentive program and equity awards under the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considered the Company’s 2007 operating results and its financial condition. In its review, the Compensation Committee noted several specific items relative to Mr. Alan Levan’s performance, including, the successful consummation of the sale of Ryan Beck and his efforts in maintaining the well capitalized status of BankAtlantic in the current challenging economic environment in Florida.

The 2007 base salary for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alan Levan, increased by 4% from 2006. The 2007 base salary for the Company’s President, Mr. Jarett Levan, was $415,000. The other named executive officers’ 2007 base salaries increased in the range of 4% to 12% from 2006. For 2008, the Company’s Chief

Executive Officer’s base salary was set at $540,858 (a decrease of 9% from 2007) and the Vice Chairman’s base salary was increased to $540,858 from $425,600, and the base salaries of Ms. Toalson and Messrs. DeVaux and Jarett Levan were increased by 3%. As described in further detail throughout this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, each of Messrs. White, Fuchs and Begelman retired or resigned from their respective executive positions with the Company during 2007. Mr. White continues to serve the Company in a non-executive capacity, and the Compensation Committee approved the payment to Mr. White of $94,900 on an annual basis over a four-year period commencing on June 30, 2007, the effective date of his retirement as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. For a detailed description of the amounts paid or to be paid by the Company to each of Messrs. White, Fuchs and Begelman in connection with their respective retirements or resignations from executive positions with the Company, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” below.

Annual Incentive Program

The Company’s annual incentive program is intended to promote high performance and achievement of certain corporate strategic goals and initiatives, encourage the growth of shareholder value, and allow executives, including the named executive officers, to participate in the growth and profitability of the Company. The Company’s 2007 annual incentive program was a cash bonus plan, based solely upon the achievement of a pre-established objective relating to financial performance. This objective was established during the Company’s annual budget cycle. All members of the Executive Management Council of BankAtlantic, including the named executive officers (other than Messrs. White, Fuchs and Begelman), were eligible for a cash bonus, ranging from 0% to 200% of base salary, under the Company’s 2007 annual incentive program. In 2007, the threshold objective was not achieved and, accordingly, no cash bonuses were awarded to these named executive officers under the Company’s annual incentive program. As discussed in further detail throughout this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Mr. Begelman resigned from his executive position with BankAtlantic during 2007 and has advised BankAtlantic that he intends to resign from his non-executive position in June 2008. For 2007, Mr. Begelman was paid a discretionary bonus of $250,000, a portion of which will reduce any amounts payable to him as severance.

For 2008, the Compensation Committee modified the Company’s annual incentive program. Under the 2008 annual incentive program, an executive officer’s cash bonus will be dependent, in whole or in part, upon his or her achievement of financial performance goals which vary based upon the role the executive officer plays with respect to the overall financial performance of the Company and the financial performance of his or her respective division. Bonuses paid under the Company’s 2008 annual incentive program may also depend on the executive officer’s achievement of certain pre-established division specific goals. Additionally, for certain of the named executive officers, but not for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the 2008 annual incentive program also includes a discretionary component under which bonuses may be paid based upon a subjective evaluation of the named executive officer’s performance in areas outside those that may be objectively measured based on specific financial goals. In 2008, all of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s cash bonus and 70% to 100% of the other named executive officers’ cash bonuses will be related to the achievement of the pre-established objectives under the Company’s 2008 annual incentive program. The remaining 30% of the other named executive officers’ cash bonuses will be payable under the discretionary component of the Company’s 2008 annual incentive program. As discussed in further detail throughout this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, each of Messrs. White, Fuchs and Begelman retired or resigned from their respective executive positions with the Company during 2007. Accordingly, Messrs. White, Fuchs and Begelman will not be eligible to receive bonuses under the Company’s 2008 annual incentive program.

In addition to being eligible for a cash bonus under the Company’s annual incentive program, the named executive officers are eligible for a cash award under the BankAtlantic Profit Sharing Stretch Plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan”). The Profit Sharing Plan provides a payout to all BankAtlantic employees, including the named executive officers, in an amount equal to a percentage of annual base salary based upon the achievement of certain pre-established financial goals. In 2007, a total of $99,878 in cash was awarded to the named executive officers under the Profit Sharing Plan as follows:


Alan B. Levan	$	21,793
Valerie Toalson	$	8,706
Lloyd B. DeVaux	$	16,099
John E. Abdo	$	15,240
Jarett S. Levan	$	11,850
Mark D. Begelman	$	15,131
James A. White	$	11,059

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

The Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program provides an opportunity for the named executive officers, and the other executive officers, to increase their stake in the Company through grants of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and encourages executive officers to focus on long-term Company performance by aligning the executive officers’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders, since the ultimate value of such compensation is directly dependent on the stock price.

The Compensation Committee’s grant of stock options to executive officers is entirely discretionary based on an assessment of the individual executive officer’s contribution to the success and growth of the Company. Decisions by the Compensation Committee regarding grants of stock options to executive officers are generally made based upon the recommendation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to grants of stock options to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), the level of the executive officer’s position with the Company, an evaluation of the executive officer’s past and expected future performance, the number of outstanding and previously granted stock options to the executive officer, and discussions with the executive officer.

In 2007, all of the executive officers, including the named executive officers (other than Messrs. White and Fuchs) were granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”), with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Class A Stock on the date of grant, and which vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The Compensation Committee believes that such stock options serve as a significant aid in the retention of the executive officers, since these stock option awards do not vest until five years after the grant date.

Internal Revenue Code Limits on Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to the corporation’s chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of any fiscal year. However, the statute exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met.

The Compensation Committee believes that it is generally in the Company’s best interest to attempt to structure performance-based compensation, including stock option grants or performance-based restricted stock awards and annual bonuses, to executive officers who may be subject to Section 162(m) in a manner that satisfies the statute’s requirements for full tax deductibility for the compensation. In an effort to meet these objectives, among others, the Company adopted the 2007 annual incentive program to provide performance based goals. The Compensation Committee also recognizes the need to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions that may not meet Section 162(m) standards when necessary to enable the Company to meet its overall objectives, even if the Company may not deduct all of the compensation. Accordingly, there is no assurance that compensation paid by the Company in the future will meet the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m).

(1)		Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in footnote 19 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Original Form 10-K, except that retirement age was assumed to be 65, the normal retirement age as defined in the Retirement Plan for Employees of BankAtlantic (the “Retirement Plan”).

Retirement Plan

Alan B. Levan, John E. Abdo and Jarett S. Levan are participants in the Retirement Plan for Employees of BankAtlantic (the “Retirement Plan”), which is a defined benefit plan. Effective December 31, 1998, the Company froze the benefits under the Retirement Plan. Participants who were employed at December 1, 1998, became fully vested in their benefits under the Retirement Plan. While the Retirement Plan is frozen, there will be no future benefit accruals. None of the other individuals named in the “Summary Compensation Table” is a participant in the Retirement Plan. The Retirement Plan was designed to provide retirement income based on an employee’s salary and years of active service, determined as of December 31, 1998. The cost of the Retirement Plan is paid by BankAtlantic and all contributions are actuarially determined.

In general, the Retirement Plan provides for monthly payments to or on behalf of each covered employee upon such employee’s retirement (with provisions for early or postponed retirement), death or disability. As a result of the freezing of future benefit accruals, the amount of the monthly payments is based generally upon two factors: (1) the employee’s average regular monthly compensation for the five consecutive years out of the last ten years ended December 31, 1998, or prior retirement, death or disability, that produces the highest average monthly rate of regular compensation and (2) upon the employee’s years of service with BankAtlantic at December 31, 1998. Benefits are payable for the retiree’s life, with ten years’ worth of payments guaranteed. The benefits are not subject to any reduction for Social Security or any other external benefits.

In 1996, BankAtlantic amended the Retirement Plan and adopted a supplemental benefit for certain executives, as permitted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). This was done because of a change in the Code that operated to restrict the amount of the executive’s compensation that may be taken into account for Plan purposes, regardless of the executive’s actual compensation. The intent of the supplemental benefit, when added to the regular Plan benefit, was to provide to certain executives the same retirement benefits that they would have received had the Code limits not been enacted, subject to other requirements of the Code. The approximate targeted percentage of pre-retirement compensation for which Mr. Alan B. Levan will be eligible under the Retirement Plan as a result of the supplemental benefit at age 65 is 33%. No other individuals named in the “Summary Compensation Table” are entitled to the supplemental benefit. The supplemental benefit also was frozen as of December 31, 1998. Because the percentage of pre-retirement compensation payable from the Retirement Plan to Mr. Alan B. Levan, including the Plan’s supplemental benefit, fell short of the benefit that Mr. Alan B. Levan would have received under the Plan absent the Code limits, BankAtlantic adopted the BankAtlantic Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan, an employee benefit plan described below.

The following table illustrates annual pension benefits at age 65 for various levels of compensation and years of service at December 31, 1998, the date on which Retirement Plan benefits were frozen.


	Estimated Annual Benefits
	Years of Credited Service at December 31, 1998

Split-Dollar Plan

BankAtlantic adopted the Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan (the “Split-Dollar Plan”) in 1996 to provide additional retirement benefits to Alan B. Levan, whose monthly benefits under the Retirement Plan were limited by changes to the Code. Under the Split-Dollar Plan and its accompanying agreement with Mr. Alan B. Levan, BankAtlantic arranged for the purchase of an insurance policy (the “Policy”) insuring the life of Mr. Alan B. Levan. Pursuant to its agreement with Mr. Alan B. Levan, BankAtlantic will make premium payments for the Policy. The Policy is anticipated to accumulate significant cash value over time, which cash value is expected to supplement Mr. Alan B. Levan’s retirement benefit payable from the Retirement Plan. Mr. Alan B. Levan owns the Policy but BankAtlantic will be reimbursed for the amount of premiums that BankAtlantic pays for the Policy upon the earlier of his retirement or death. The portion of the amount paid in prior years attributable to the 2007 premium for the Policy that is considered compensation to Mr. Alan B. Levan is included under “All Other Compensation” in the “Summary Compensation Table.” The Split-Dollar Plan was not included in the freezing of the Retirement Plan and BankAtlantic has continued to make premium payments for the Policy since 1998.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to compensation that would become payable if the named executive officers had ceased employment under the various circumstances below. Except as set forth in the “Actual Payments” column, which represents full payments under the referenced agreements, the amounts shown in the table below assume that such cessation of employment was effective as of December 31, 2007. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.

Compensation of Directors

The Compensation Committee recommends director compensation to the Board based on factors it considers appropriate and based on the recommendations of management. Currently, each non-employee director receives $100,000 annually for service on the Board of Directors, payable in cash, restricted stock or non-qualified stock options, in such combinations as the director may elect, provided that no more than $50,000 may be paid in cash. The restricted stock and stock options are granted in Class A Stock under the Company’s 2005 Restricted Stock and Option Plan. Restricted stock vests monthly over a 12-month service period beginning on July 1 of each year and stock options are fully vested on the date of grant, have a ten-year term and have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Class A Stock on the date of grant. The number of stock options and restricted stock granted is determined by the Company based on assumptions and formulas typically used to value these types of securities. Members of the Audit Committee receive an additional $4,000 per quarter for their service on that committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of $1,000 per quarter for service as Chairman. The Chairmen of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee receive an annual cash fee of $3,500. Other than the Chairmen, members of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee do not receive additional compensation for service on those committees. Directors Abdo, DiGiulian and Ginestra serve as trustees of the Company’s pension plan, for which they are compensated directly by the pension plan in the amount of $9,000 per year. Other than the $9,000 per year paid to Mr. Abdo directly by the Company’s pension plan as described in the preceding sentence, directors who are also officers of the Company or its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for their service as directors.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Information with respect to the Company’s equity compensation plans is included under Item 5 of Part II of the Original Form 10-K.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Company has a policy for the review and approval of transactions in which the Company is to be a participant and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers, or their immediate family members, will have a direct or indirect material interest. Any such related party transaction is to be for the benefit of the Company and upon terms no less favorable to the Company than if the related party transaction was with an unrelated party. During 2007, this policy provided for any new related party transaction to be approved in advance by a committee of the Board of Directors composed of independent directors. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer was responsible for reviewing any proposed related party transactions and presenting them to the committee for approval. The Chief Financial Officer’s review included, among other things, an evaluation of the terms of the related party transaction

and an assessment of the arms-length nature of the terms. The committee then reviewed the terms of the related party transaction and the Chief Financial Officer’s review and evaluation of the related party transaction and ultimately made a decision as to whether the proposed related party transaction was approved. The Committee’s decisions were subsequently reported to the Company’s Board of Directors. During 2007, no related party transaction occurred where this policy was not followed.

In February 2008, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. In connection with this amendment, the Board of Directors delegated to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee the review and approval of related party transactions relating to directors, executive officers, and their immediate family, other than those presenting issues regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters, the review and approval of which was delegated by the Board of Directors to the Audit Committee. In reviewing related party transactions, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee or the Audit Committee, as applicable, evaluates the related party transaction based on, among other factors it deems appropriate, those factors evaluated by the Chief Financial Officer as described above.

The Company’s policy and practices with respect to related party transactions are reviewed by the Company’s outsourced internal audit department as part of the Company’s assessment on internal controls and corporate governance.

Transactions with Related Persons

Alan B. Levan, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and John E. Abdo, the Company’s Vice Chairman, serve as executive officers and directors of BFC and Levitt and may be deemed to control BFC through their direct and indirect interests in and voting control over BFC. BFC is the controlling shareholder of the Company and Levitt. Levitt owns 31% of the outstanding common stock of Bluegreen. Additionally, Mr. Levan is Chairman and Mr. Abdo is Vice Chairman of Bluegreen. Mr. Levan and Mr. Abdo receive compensation from BFC and Levitt, and, during 2007, were granted stock options and paid $100 by Bluegreen.

The Company, BFC, Levitt and Bluegreen share various office premises and employee services, pursuant to the arrangements described below.

BFC leases office space in premises owned by BankAtlantic on a month-to-month basis. For the year ended December 31, 2007, BFC paid $172,000 as rent for such facilities. BankAtlantic also received $33,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from BFC for services provided to a BFC subsidiary in connection with the management of an office building.

The Company, BFC, Levitt and Bluegreen have entered into a shared services arrangement, pursuant to which BFC provides the Company, Levitt and Bluegreen with various executive and administrative services. The Company was billed $1.4 million during 2007 for risk management, investor relations, human resources and other administrative services provided to the Company by BFC. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued to BFC employees who perform services for the Company options to acquire 49,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at an exercise price of $9.38. These options vest in five years and expire ten years from the grant date.

Levitt and BFC each maintain securities sold under repurchase agreements at BankAtlantic. The balance in those accounts at December 31, 2007 was $6.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and BankAtlantic paid interest to Levitt and BFC on those accounts in 2007 of $146,000 and $39,000, respectively.

BankAtlantic has entered into an agreement with Levitt, pursuant to which BankAtlantic agreed to host Levitt’s information technology servers and to provide hosting and certain other information technology services to Levitt. The annual amount to be paid under this agreement is estimated to be approximately $120,000.

During 2007, BankAtlantic utilized the legal services of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A. (“Ruden McClosky”), a law firm in which Company director Bruno DiGiulian was of counsel until September 30, 2006. BankAtlantic paid Ruden McClosky fees of approximately $274,000 in 2007.

The BankAtlantic Foundation is a non-profit foundation established by BankAtlantic. During 2007, the Foundation and BankAtlantic together made donations aggregating approximately $560,000, including $16,000 to the Leadership Broward Foundation; $35,000 to Nova Southeastern University Wayne Huizenga School of Business (including $5,000 as the fifth installment of a 5-year commitment of $25,000); $2,500 to Nova Southeastern University Libraries; $2,500 to Nova Southeastern Farguar College of Arts and Sciences; $25,000 to the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale (including $25,000 as the first installment of a 3-year $75,000 commitment); $3,000 to Art Serve; and $6,000 to West & East Broward Family YMCA.

Alan B. Levan sits on the Board of Nova Southeastern University; Jarett S. Levan sits on the Boards of Leadership Broward Foundation, and the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale; Lloyd B. DeVaux sits on the Boards of West Broward Family YMCA and YMCA of Broward County.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm for fiscal 2007 and 2006 (“PwC”), for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for fiscal 2007 and 2006 and fees billed for audit-related services, tax services and all other services rendered by PwC for fiscal 2007 and 2006. PwC also served as independent registered certified public accounting firm for the Company’s controlling shareholder, BFC, for fiscal 2007 and 2006. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by PwC in connection with its audit of BFC’s consolidated financial statements and reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in BFC’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal 2007 and 2006 were approximately $716,000 and $248,000, respectively.

Audit fees	$	1,659	^(a)	$	1,783	^(a)
Audit-related fees		42	^(b)		425	^(b)(c)
Tax services		—			—
All other fees		—			3


(a)		Includes primarily fees for services related to the annual financial statement audits, the 2007 and 2006 audit of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and review of quarterly financial statements filed in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

(b)		Audits of employee benefit plans.

(c)		Includes fees for services related to the previously proposed initial public offering of Ryan Beck & Co.

All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PwC was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. Under its charter, the Audit Committee must review and pre-approve both audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors and shall not engage the independent auditors to perform any non-audit services prohibited by law or regulation. Each year, the independent auditor’s retention to audit the Company’s financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Audit Committee. Under its current practices, the Audit Committee does not regularly evaluate potential engagements of the independent auditor and approve or reject such potential engagements. At each Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee receives updates on the services actually provided by the independent auditor, and management may present additional services for pre-approval. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that a need arises for pre-approval between regular Audit Committee meetings. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he will report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the services other than audit services, as described above, are compatible with maintaining the principal independent registered certified public accounting firm’s independence.

On March 18, 2008, the Audit Committee approved the continued engagement of PwC as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm.
