Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
     The information in this item (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 9.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act. On April 22, 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2009. In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the press release also contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures, which it defines as “core operating earnings” in their analysis of the Company’s performance. These “core operating earnings” measures adjust GAAP pre-tax income to exclude the impact of goodwill impairment, provision for loan and tax certificate losses, impairments, restructuring charges, and exit activities. The Company believes that these non-GAAP “core operating earnings” measures and related financial data which exclude certain of the above items supplement our GAAP financial information and provide useful measures of evaluating the Company’s operating results and any related trends that may be affecting the Company’s business. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
