Restatement As discussed in Note A in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company announced on February 5, 2003, that it had restated its previously reported 2002 second and third quarter financial statements. The restatement reflects a change associated with accounting policy used to account for mutual fund assets acquired in connection with the acquisition by Ryan Beck of certain of the assets and the assumption of certain of the liabilities of Gruntal & Co. The Company initially recorded the mutual fund assets based on accounting principles applicable to BankAtlantic Bancorp instead of the specialized industry accounting principles applicable to broker dealers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED
Note A. Restatement
On April 26, 2002 Ryan Beck & Co. (Ryan Beck) acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Gruntal & Co., LLC (Gruntal) and acquired all of the membership interests in The GMS Group, LLC (GMS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gruntal (the Gruntal transaction). In connection with the Gruntal transaction, Ryan Beck assumed a nonqualified deferred compensation plan and certain mutual fund assets associated with the plan. With the prior concurrence of the Companys independent accountants, the Company accounted for these mutual fund assets based on accounting principles applicable to BankAtlantic Bancorp, and accordingly, the assets were accounted for as securities available for sale. The effect of this treatment was that changes in the fair value of the mutual fund assets were recorded in other comprehensive income in the equity section of the Companys statement of financial position. Recently, the Company has determined, with the concurrence of its independent accountants, that the accounting treatment for recording changes in the value of the plans mutual funds during the second and third quarters was inappropriate, and that those assets were required to be treated in accordance with the specialized industry accounting principles applicable to broker dealers, which require including changes in the fair value of the mutual funds as an adjustment to broker/dealer operations income in the Companys consolidated statement of operations.
Based on such treatment, the Company has restated its financial statements as follows:

12
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Communities, LLC, Levitt and Sons, LLC and its investment in Bluegreen Corporation (Bluegreen). Core Communities develops land for master planned communities located in Florida. Levitt and Sons is primarily a developer of single-family home communities and has participated in condominium and rental apartment joint ventures mainly in Florida. Bluegreen, a New York Stock Exchange listed company in which we own approximately 40% of the outstanding common stock, is a developer of primarily drive-to vacation interval resorts, golf communities and residential land. Ryan Beck is an investment banking and brokerage firm which provides a wide range of investment banking, brokerage and investment management services. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including $26.1 million of loans from BankAtlantic to Levitt Companies, $30 million of loans from the Company to Levitt Companies and $5.0 million of loans from the Company to Ryan Beck.
In managements opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain such adjustments necessary to present fairly the Companys consolidated financial condition at September 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the consolidated stockholders equity and comprehensive income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items except for the extraordinary item discussed in Note 4 and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle discussed in Notes 10 and 12. The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, our Form 10-Q/A for the period ended June 30, 2002 and our Form 10-Q for each of the periods ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002.
2. Common Unit Options
Ryan Becks Board of Directors adopted the Ryan, Beck & Co, LLC., Common Unit Option Plan (the Plan) effective March 29, 2002. The Plan provides for the grant of not more than an aggregate of 500,000 Common Units representing limited liability interests of Ryan Beck.
During the second quarter, 2002, Ryan Becks Board of Directors granted, pursuant to the Plan, common unit options to acquire an aggregate of 470,000 common units of Ryan Beck. The fair value was determined based on an independent appraisal. A compensation charge of $92,000 associated with these options was included in the Companys statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 based on a fair value estimate from the independent appraiser. As of September 30, 2002, Ryan Beck had 8,125,000 Common Units outstanding, all of which were owned by the Company.
On September 30, 2002 Ryan Beck & Co., LLC converted from a limited liability company to a corporation by merging into a newly formed corporation, Ryan Beck & Co. The 470,000 common unit options were converted into options to acquire 470,000 shares of Ryan Beck & Co. common stock, and all common units outstanding at September 30, 2002 were converted to common stock on a one-for-one basis. The conversion to a corporation reduced the Companys third quarter provision for income taxes by $525,000 resulting from a reduction in the Companys State deferred tax valuation allowance.
3. Trust Preferred Securities
In September 2002, the Company participated in two pooled trust preferred securities offerings in which $35 million of trust preferred securities were issued in two separate transactions. The trust preferred securities pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 340 basis points. The securities are redeemable after September 2007 and are due September 2032. The net proceeds to the Company from the Trust Preferred Securities offerings after underwriting discounts and expenses were approximately $34 million. The Company used the proceeds from the trust preferred securities offerings to redeem $43.7 million of its 9.5% trust preferred securities.
4. Acquisitions
On April 26, 2002 Ryan Beck acquired certain of the assets and assumed
certain of the liabilities of Gruntal & Co., LLC (Gruntal) and acquired all
of the membership interests in The GMS Group, LLC (GMS), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Gruntal (the Gruntal transaction). The Gruntal transaction was
accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Under this method the
acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Gruntal were recorded at their
estimated fair value, and the amount of estimated fair value of net assets in
excess of the purchase price was used to write down non-financial assets and
the remaining balance was recorded as an extraordinary income item. The
Companys financial
13
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
statements have reflected the Gruntal transaction as of April 26, 2002.
In connection with the Gruntal transaction, a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan was assumed by Ryan Beck covering select employees of
Gruntal. Gruntal provided an annual matching contribution and, in some cases,
special allocations, both of which would vest if the employee remained
employed for ten years from the plan year for which contributions were made.
The obligations were not required to be funded and were unsecured general
obligations to pay, in the future, the value of the deferred compensation,
adjusted to reflect the performance of selected investment measurement options
chosen by each participant during the deferral period. On April 26, 2002, Ryan
Beck froze the plan, so that the participants could no longer continue to make
contributions and related matches ceased. In August 2002, Ryan Beck
allowed the participants in the plan to elect to withdraw their vested benefits
upon forfeiting their unvested benefits. During September 2002, $15.3 million
of plan assets, both vested and non-vested amounts were withdrawn from the plan
resulting in a $2.3 million realized loss upon the sale of mutual funds
assigned to plan obligations. At September 30, 2002, the nonqualified deferred
compensation obligation was $12.6 million of which $6.3 million was vested.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company realized
a $1.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, reduction in compensation
expense associated with the decrease in the nonqualified deferred compensation
plan obligation during the period. In July 2002, Ryan Beck established a
retention plan for certain Gruntal investment consultants, key employees and
others. Pursuant to the retention plan, the participants were granted a
length of service award and a retention award in forgivable notes in the
aggregate amounts of $900,000 and $9.5 million, respectively. The participants
were granted the length of service award and 50% of the retention award in
forgivable notes in the aggregate amount of $5.7 million in July 2002. The
participants can elect to receive their remaining 50% of the retention award in
forgivable notes in February 2003, or the participants can elect to receive an
enhanced award based on production goals which will be paid out in the form of
forgivable notes in January 2004. The award based on production goals can be
no less than the amount they would have received on February 2003 assuming all
participants remained employed through the retention award date. Each
forgivable note will have a term of five years. A pro-rata portion of the
principal amount of the note is forgiven each month over the five year term. If
a participant terminates employment with Ryan Beck prior to the end of the term
of the Note, the outstanding balance becomes immediately due to Ryan Beck.
On March 22, 2002 BankAtlantic acquired Community Savings Bankshares Inc.,
the parent company of Community Savings, F.A. (Community), for $170.3 million
in cash and immediately merged Community into BankAtlantic. The fair value of
Communitys assets acquired and liabilities assumed is included in the
Companys statement of financial condition and Communitys results of
operations have been included in the Companys consolidated financial
statements since March 22, 2002.
The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Community and the
Gruntal transaction effective March 22, 2002 and April 26, 2002, respectively.

2. | The Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $23.7 million, net of income taxes of $2.8 million, and reduced the carrying amount of non-financial assets by $11.2 million as a result of the fair value of the assets acquired exceeding the cost of the transaction. The Company did not establish a deferred tax liability for the extraordinary gain associated with the GMS membership interest acquisition, because the Company acquired GMS rather than the net assets. |
The purchase price of Community consisted of $170.3 million in cash and $500,000 of acquisition professional fees. The cost of the Gruntal transaction consisted of a $6.0 million cash payment, $750,000 of acquisition professional fees and an estimated $1.05 million of contingent consideration payable to Gruntal. The $1.05 million contingent consideration to Gruntal relates to possible deferred compensation plan participant forfeitures and represents the maximum amount of additional consideration. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, during each of the three years beginning October 27, 2002 Ryan Beck is obligated to pay Gruntal & Co. LLC up to $350,000 of forfeitures each year under the Amended and Restated Gruntal & Co. LLC Deferred Compensation Plan for each of the years in the three year period ended October 26, 2005.

During April 2002, the Company and Levitt Companies ownership in Bluegreen Corporation (Bluegreen), a New York Stock Exchange-listed company engaged in the acquisition, development, marketing and sale of primarily drive-to vacation interval resorts, golf communities and residential land increased from approximately 5% to 40%. This interest in Bluegreen was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $56 million. The Company acquired approximately 5% of Bluegreen common stock during the first quarter of 2001 and Levitt Companies acquired approximately 35% of Bluegreen common stock in April 2002. As a consequence of the acquisition of this interest in Bluegreen at various acquisition dates, it is accounted for as a step acquisition under the equity method of accounting. In a step acquisition the purchase price allocation is performed at each acquisition date and goodwill is recognized with each step purchase. Additionally, prior period financial statements should be restated to reflect the

results of applying the equity method of accounting to the initial acquisition; however, the Company did not restate its prior year financial statements due to lack of significance. Under the equity method of accounting the investment in Bluegreen was recorded at cost and the carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize our 40% interest in the earnings or loss of Bluegreen after the acquisition date. The Companys carrying amount of its Bluegreen investment was in the aggregate $2.4 million lower than the Companys ownership percentage in the underlying equity in the net assets of Bluegreen. This difference was assigned to various assets and liabilities of Bluegreen and will be amortized into the statement of operations as an adjustment to income from equity method investment. The funds for the investment in Bluegreen were obtained from $29.9 million of borrowings from the Companys existing bank line of credit, proceeds of its trust preferred securities offering, proceeds from the sale of equity securities from the Companys portfolio and Levitt Companies working capital.
5. Impairment of Securities
The Company recognized an impairment charge of $302,000 and $18.5 million during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, on equity securities resulting from significant declines in the value of such securities that were considered other than temporary due to the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuers of the equity securities. Included in the impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was a $15 million write off of an investment in Seisint Inc., a privately held technology company. During 1999, the Company entered into a strategic relationship and invested $10 million in cash and issued 848,364 shares of Class A common stock to acquire an investment in Seisint, The Company anticipated benefits through the exchange of ideas and cooperation in the development by Seisint of technology and support systems for use by financial institutions. Additionally, both Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo were directors of Seisint and each acquired direct and indirect interests in Seisint common stock. Because Seisint did not meet the objectives of its business plan or its financial performance goals, the Company performed an evaluation of its investment in Seisint to determine if there was an other than temporary decline in value associated with this investment. As a consequence of this evaluation, the Company wrote off its entire $15 million investment in Seisint during June 2002.
The Company recognized a $5,000 and $700,000 impairment charge associated with equity securities during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001. As a result of these losses, the Company has revised its policy for equity investments to be made by the holding company. Any future equity investments will be limited to liquid securities and will be subject to significant concentration restrictions. At September 30, 2002, equity investments at the holding Company totaled $4.9 million.

Comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 was ($1.6) million and $7.6 million, respectively.
10. Derivatives
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133) on January 1, 2001. At the adoption date we recognized all derivative instruments as defined by FAS 133 in the statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities and measured them at fair value resulting in a $1.1 million gain associated with the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax.
The derivatives utilized by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were interest rate swaps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company created fair value hedges by entering into various interest rate swap contracts with a notional amount of $33 million to convert $33 million of designated fixed rate time deposits to a three-month LIBOR interest rate.
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company entered into forward contracts to purchase the underlying collateral from a government agency pool of securities in May 2005. Included in securities gains in the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $14,000 and $41,000 of unrealized losses associated with the forward contracts compared to unrealized gains of $6,600 and $62,000 during the same 2001 periods.

The net amount of existing losses on the swaps included in other liabilities that are projected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is $527,534. The hedging relationships are expected to last over the term of the swaps.
11. Restructuring charge and impairment write-down
During June 2002, we adopted a plan to discontinue certain ATM relationships, resulting in an $801,000 restructuring charge and a $206,000 impairment write-down. These relationships were primarily with convenience stores and gas stations and did not currently meet our performance expectations and were unlikely to meet our future profitability goals. The remaining ATM machines (approximately 150 machines) are primarily located in our branch network, cruise ships and other remote locations. The restructuring plan is scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2002.

12. Transitional Goodwill Impairment Evaluation
In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation required under FASB Statement 142, the Company performed an assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill was impaired as of January 1, 2002, the date of adoption. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company identified its reporting units and determined the carrying value of each of its reporting units by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company then determined the fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to the reporting units carrying amount. If the fair value of the reportable unit exceeded the carrying amount, no further evaluation was performed, and the goodwill in the reporting unit was determined not to be impaired. The fair values of all reporting units, except for the Ryan Beck reportable segment, exceeded their respective carrying amounts at the adoption date. For the Ryan Beck reportable segment, an independent appraiser was engaged to determine the fair value of the Ryan Beck operating segments in order for the Company to measure the impairment amount. Based on the appraisers evaluation, a $15.1 million impairment loss (net of a $1.2 million tax benefit) was recorded effective as of January 1, 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As required under FASB 142, this non-cash charge was recognized during the first quarter of 2002 and had no effect upon third quarter earnings or on any period subsequent to the first quarter, and had no effect on operating net income or tangible capital ratios. Operating net

income is defined as GAAP net income adjusted for goodwill amortization, goodwill impairment and any non-recurring activities.
13. 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 information provided for Segment Reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management. Management reports our results of operations through six reportable segments. Bank Investments, Commercial Banking, and Community Banking are our Bank Operation segments, which are conducted through BankAtlantic. The remaining reportable segments consist of the activities of Levitt Companies and its subsidiaries, Ryan Beck & Co. and its subsidiaries and the parent company. The parent company includes the operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp as well as acquisition related expenses such as goodwill amortization and retention pool compensation expense related to the acquisition of Ryan Beck in 1998. Interest expense and certain revenue and expense items are allocated to the three Bank Operation reportable segments as interest expense and overhead. The presentation and allocation of interest expense and overhead and the net income calculated under the management approach associated with the Bank Operation reportable segments and the parent company may not reflect the actual economic costs, contribution or results of operations of the unit as a stand alone business. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in the segments would, in managements view, likely not be impacted.
The following summarizes the aggregation of the Companys operating segments into reportable segments:
Reportable Segment | Operating Segments Aggregated | |
Bank Investments | Investments, tax certificates, residential loans purchased, CRA lending and real estate capital services | |
Commercial Banking | Commercial lending, syndications, international, lease finance, trade finance and a real estate joint venture development | |
Community Banking | Indirect and direct consumer lending, small business lending and ATM operations | |
Levitt Companies | Real estate and joint venture operations | |
Ryan Beck | Investment banking and brokerage operations | |
Parent Company | BankAtlantic Bancorps operations, costs of acquisitions, financing of acquisitions, and equity investments |
The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment transactions consist of borrowings by real estate operations and investment banking operations which are recorded based upon the terms of the underlying loan agreements and are eliminated. The elimination entries consist of the intercompany loan interest income and interest expense, management fees, consulting fees, facilities rent and brokerage commission.

14. New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146 (Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.) This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Prior to this Statement, a liability was recognized when the entity committed to an exit plan. Management believes that this Statement will not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements; however, the Statement will result in a change in accounting policy associated with the recognition of liabilities in connection with future restructuring charges.
In October 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 147 (Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions.) This Statement provides guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution and applies to all acquisitions except those between two or more mutual enterprises. This Statement provides that the excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination represents goodwill that should be accounted for under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the specialized accounting guidance in paragraph 5 of FASB Statement No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, will not apply after September 30, 2002. If certain criteria in Statement 147 are met, the amount of the unidentifiable intangible asset recorded in previous acquisition will be reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of this Statement. The Statement will not affect the Companys prior acquisitions and management believes that this Statement will not have an impact on the Companys historical financial statements.
15. Subsequent Events
In October 2002, BankAtlantic issued $22 million of its floating rate subordinated debentures due 2012. The Subordinated Debentures pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 345 basis points and are redeemable after October 2007 at a redemption price based upon then prevailing market interest rates. The net proceeds will be used by BankAtlantic for general corporate purposes to support asset growth. The Subordinated Debentures were issued by BankAtlantic in a private transaction as part of a larger pooled securities offering. The Subordinated Debentures currently qualify for inclusion in BankAtlantics total risk based capital.
In November 2002, the Company redeemed $43.7 million of its 9.5% cumulative trust preferred securities at par plus accrued and unpaid distributions through the redemption date. The funds for the redemption of the trust preferred securities were obtained from the issuance of $35 million of LIBOR based trust preferred securities and additional revolving line of credit borrowings. The redemption of the trust preferred securities resulted in a $1.2 million loss associated with the write-off of deferred offering costs.
16. Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the statement presentation for 2002.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements which also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. We have identified six accounting policies that management views as critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The six accounting policies are: (i) allowance for loan and lease losses, (ii) valuation of securities and derivative instruments, (iii) other than temporary declines in fair value, (iv) impairment of long lived assets (v) real estate held for development and sale and joint venture activities and (vi) accounting for business combinations. The first five critical accounting policies appear in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Accounting for Business Combinations - The Company accounts for its business combinations such as the Community acquisition and the Gruntal transaction based on the purchase method of accounting. The Company accounts for its unconsolidated equity investments such as the investment in Bluegreen under the equity method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting requires us to fair value the tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The equity method of accounting requires us to fair value our pro-rata ownership interest in the net assets and identifiable intangible assets of the acquired interest in the unconsolidated subsidiary. The fair values are based on available information and current economic conditions at the date of acquisition. The fair values may be obtained from independent appraisers, discounted cash flow present value techniques, management valuation models, quoted prices on national markets or quoted market prices from brokers. These fair values estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. Such different fair value estimates could affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Same 2001 Period:
Net income increased by 184% from 2001. The substantial increase in net income primarily resulted from a large increase in net interest income, an improvement in the provision for loan losses, additional banking operations service charge income, higher Ryan Beck investment banking income and a reduction in the Companys deferred tax valuation allowance. The above improvements in net income were partially offset by an increase in employee compensation, higher occupancy costs, lower gains on the sales of assets and increased Ryan Beck communication and clearing fees.
The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from earning asset growth as a consequence of the Community acquisition and the origination and purchase of real estate loans. The decline in the provision for loan losses reflects lower charge-offs during the current quarter compared to the same 2001 period, along with declining portfolio balances associated with our discontinued lines of business. The increase in other non-interest income primarily resulted from higher investment banking income and higher bank operations service charge income. The increase in investment banking income resulted from growth associated primarily with the Gruntal transaction, and the improvement in bank operations service charge income reflects a significant increase in transaction accounts associated with BankAtlantics high performance checking product and its seven-day banking initiative. The improvements in non-interest income were partially offset by a $3.3 million loss in value on mutual funds that are held in connection with a nonqualified deferred compensation plan assumed in connection with the Gruntal transaction. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily related to higher Ryan Beck compensation expense associated with the Gruntal transaction and higher banking operation compensation, occupancy and advertising expense associated with the Community acquisition and the implementation of the seven day banking initiative. Additionally, Ryan Beck communication and clearing fee expenses increased substantially due to the Gruntal transaction. The decrease in the provision for income taxes during the current quarter reflects a 787,000 reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance resulting primarily from the utilization of tax benefits from real estate sales at Core Communities and a $525,000 tax benefit realized upon the conversion of Ryan Beck from a limited liability company to a corporation. Additionally, the Company acquired, as part of the Community transaction, low-income housing tax credit investments which reduced the Companys tax liability by $140,000 during the 2002 quarter.
The non-recurring items that affected net income during the current quarter were the sale of mutual funds to fund distributions under a plan assumed in connection with the Gruntal transaction, adjustments of acquisition related charges, an impairment write-down of equity securities due to an other than temporary decline in value and an adjustment to the extraordinary gain associated with the Gruntal transaction.
The non-recurring items that affected net income during the 2001 third quarter were the amortization of goodwill, a $6.6 million goodwill impairment associated with the Leasing Technology Inc. acquisition and a write-off of deferred offering costs associated with the redemption of subordinated investment notes.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Same 2001 Period:
Net income was significantly affected by non-recurring items during the 2002 period. The Company recognized a $23.7 million extraordinary gain associated with the Gruntal transaction.
The extraordinary gain was partially offset by a $15.1 million cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle associated with the implementation of FASB Statement 142. In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation required under FASB Statement 142, the Company performed an assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill was impaired as of January 1, 2002, the date of adoption. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that goodwill associated with the bank operations reportable segments was not impaired at the adoption date; however, the goodwill associated with the Ryan Beck reportable segment was impaired. As a consequence, an independent appraiser was engaged to determine the fair value of the Ryan Beck operating segments in order for the Company to measure the impairment amount. Based on the appraisers evaluation, a $15.1 million impairment loss (net of a $1.2 million tax benefit) was recorded effective as of January 1, 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As required under FASB 142, this non-cash charge was recognized during the first quarter of 2002 and had no effect upon third quarter earnings or on any period subsequent to the first quarter, and had no effect on operating net income or tangible capital ratios.
Also included in non-recurring items during the 2002 period was a
restructuring charge and an impairment write-down associated with our ATM
network and acquisition-related charges and impairments associated with the
Community and Gruntal transactions. The acquisition-related expenses were
integration expenses, long-lived asset impairments and
28
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
professional fees associated with the Gruntal and Community transactions.
The ATM network restructuring charge and impairment write-down resulted from
the termination of convenience store and gas station relationships which did
not meet our performance expectations.
Additionally, the Company recognized an other than temporary decline in
the fair value of equity securities. The equity securities impairment
reflected the write-off of four equity investments which had experienced poor
financial performance. As a consequence, we have revised our policy for equity
investments, and any future equity investments by the holding company will be
limited to liquid securities and be subject to certain more stringent
concentration restrictions.
During the 2002 period, the Company experienced a significant improvement
in net interest income and non-interest income associated with the items
discussed above as well as improved earnings at Levitt Companies. These
earnings reflected increased sales of real estate by Core Communities and
Levitt and Sons, as well as equity in earnings associated with the Companys
investment in Bluegreen.
The provision for loan losses declined during the current period primarily
related to the same items discussed in the corresponding discussion of the
current quarter partially offset by additional reserves required for two
commercial real estate loans.
The above increases in net income were partially offset by a significant
increase in non-interest expenses primarily due to the same items discussed in
the corresponding discussion of the current quarter.
The provision for income taxes was reduced by $2.3 million and was
associated with the reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The reduction was attributed to Levitt Companies election to be taxed as a
corporation, Ryan Becks conversion to a corporation and the utilization of tax
benefits from real estate sales. Additionally, the Company acquired, as part
of the Community transaction, low income housing tax credit investments which
reduced the Companys tax liability by $280,000 during the 2002 nine month
period.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Same 2001 Period:
The substantial improvement in net interest income primarily resulted from significant asset growth partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin.
The growth in earning assets primarily resulted from the Community acquisition, which added $709 million of earning assets, and continued growth in our commercial real estate, small business and home equity loan portfolios. The above increases in earning assets were partially offset by accelerated repayments of residential loans due to declining mortgage rates during the period and lower average balances related to several discontinued or curtailed lines of business, including our lease finance business, indirect consumer loans, syndication loans, international loans to correspondent banks and small business loans originated under previous policies prior to January 1, 2001. Interest income on loans and securities available for sale declined during 2002 compared to the same 2001 period. The decline in interest income reflects the rapid
29
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
decline in interest rates during the latter half of 2001 and 2002, which resulted in the refinancing of residential loans and the downward re-pricing of floating rate loans. These significant declines in yields on earning assets were substantially offset by the growth in earning assets mentioned above.
The increased interest income from other investments reflects higher average balances resulting from $163.9 million of investment purchases during the period. The higher interest income from increased average asset balances was partially offset by lower average yields earned on other investments during the 2002 quarter compared to the same period during 2001.
The substantial reduction in our deposit interest expense was attributed to a significant reduction in the average deposit rate, partially offset by average interest bearing deposits increasing by $486 million from the same 2001 period. The increase was primarily due to the Community acquisition. Interest expense on short-term borrowings was substantially lower during 2002. The significant decline in short term borrowings interest expense reflected lower short-term interest rates and a decline in short term borrowings linked to an increase in deposit and FHLB advance balances. The rates on short-term borrowings declined from 3.54% during the 2001 period to 1.74% during the same 2002 period. The higher FHLB advance and mortgage backed bond interest expense resulted primarily from FHLB advance obligations and mortgage backed bonds acquired in connection with the Community acquisition.
The net interest margin was impacted by a rapid decline in interest rates during 2001, a change in the composition of our loan portfolio and a change in the mix of our deposit portfolio. The prime interest rate declined from 9.00% at January 1, 2001 to 4.75% at December 31, 2001, which resulted in the average yield on our interest earning assets declining from 7.70% during 2001 to 6.41% during the 2002 quarter and the average rates on our interest paying liabilities declining from 4.43% to 3.16% during the same period. During the 2002 quarter, we continued to increase our transaction accounts and savings accounts, which contributed to a reduction in our cost of funds. Our deposit mix changed from 50% time deposits at September 30, 2001 to 42% time deposits and 58% transaction and savings accounts during the same 2002 period. The composition of our loan portfolio changed from higher yielding loans associated with discontinued lines of business to lower yielding residential loans acquired in connection with the acquisition of Community and lower yielding floating rate commercial and home equity loans.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to the Same 2001 Period:
Net interest income increased by 7% from 2001. Total interest income decreased by $26.1 million and total interest expense decreased by $34.2 million. The decrease in interest income primarily resulted from rapidly declining interest rates which impacted the re-pricing of floating rate loans and securities and contributed to re-financings of residential loans. The average yield on interest earning assets declined from 7.85% during the 2001 period to 6.47% during the 2002 period. The decline in average yields on earning assets was partially offset by increased earning asset growth primarily associated with the Community acquisition. The decline in interest expense primarily resulted from the lower interest rate environment discussed above. The average rates on our interest paying liabilities declined from 4.83% during 2001 to 3.35% during the same 2002 period, and the average rates on our short-term borrowings declined from 4.65% during 2001 to 1.76% during the same 2002 period.

Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.43% for the 2002 third quarter and 1.46% for the same 2001 period. The substantial decrease in net charge-offs resulted primarily from lower net charge-offs associated with discontinued lines of business partially offset by charge-offs associated with a commercial real estate loan and a lease. Included in charge-offs for the third quarter of 2002 was a charge-off of a commercial real estate loan to a company in the hospitality industry for which a valuation allowance was established in a prior period and a $670,000 charge-off of an airplane lease. The reduction in our provision for loan losses during the current quarter, compared to the same 2001 period, was attributed to declining portfolio balances in discontinued lines of business and improved charge-off and delinquency trends.
Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.76% for the first nine months of 2002 and 0.74% for the corresponding 2001 period. Included in net charge-offs for the current year were the items discussed above as well as a $4.3 million partial charge-off of a commercial real estate residential construction loan, for which a $1.8 million specific valuation allowance was established in late 2001. This commercial real estate residential construction loan was transferred to real estate owned effective June 30, 2002. Also included in net charge-offs for the current year was an $8 million partial charge-off of a syndication loan to a company in the commercial aviation repair parts and maintenance industry, for which a specific valuation allowance was established for the entire amount in 2001. In September 2002, the remaining $2.6 million balance of that loan was repaid from the collateral liquidation.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.24% and 1.51% of total loans at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Included in the allowance for loan losses was a $9.6 million allowance acquired in connection with the Community

acquisition. This allowance was reduced by $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2002 as a result of loan payoffs in the acquired portfolio.
Net charge-offs associated with our discontinued or curtailed lines of business were 28% of total net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2002, compared to 55% during the same 2001 period. Year to date, these charge-offs represented 89% of total net charge-offs, compared to 87% during 2001.

Non-performing assets represented 1.10% of total loans, tax certificates and repossessed assets at September 30, 2002. This compares to 1.45% at December 31, 2001. The reduction in the percentage of non-performing assets to total loans, tax certificates and repossessed assets reflects a significant increase in total loans and tax certificate balances at September 30, 2002, compared to December 31, 2001. Included in non-performing assets at September 30, 2002 was a $13.7 million commercial real estate hotel loan and a $7.3 million foreclosed residential construction loan referred to above, along with $3.1 million of non-performing loans acquired in connection with the Community acquisition. In October 2002, the hotel loan was sold at book value to an unrelated third party. Assuming the sale was consummated as of September 30, 2002, the Banks non-performing loans would have been reduced to $18.7 million, non-performing assets to approximately $28.7 million and the Banks non-performing assets to total loans and other assets ratio to 0.74%.
The increase in potential problem loans was associated with loans contractually past due 90 days or more. These loans have matured and the borrowers continue to make payments under the matured loan agreement. The Company is in the process of renewing or extending these matured loans.

The decline in other service charges and fees during the 2002 third quarter and first nine months resulted from a 25% and 24%, respectively, decrease in ATM fee income compared to the corresponding 2001 periods and a decline in late fee income. The decline in ATM fee income resulted from the removal of our ATM machines from Wal*Mart stores and other locations. The decline in late fee income was attributed to lower late fees assessed in our consumer and leasing portfolios. The above declines in fee income were partially offset by higher fees earned on check cards. Check card fees increased by 169% during the third quarter compared to the same 2001 period and 153% during 2002 year to date compared to the same 2001 period. The increase in check card fees was linked to a significant increase in transaction accounts associated with our high performance checking products and our Seven Day Banking initiative.
Service charges on deposits increased by over 75% during the third quarter, and 49% year to date, from the comparable 2001 periods. The increase in service charges primarily resulted from overdraft fees from transaction accounts and secondarily from deposit fees associated with the Community acquisition. The increase in overdraft fees was associated with our new high performance checking product. Since the inception of this product, we have opened approximately 48,000 accounts with total deposit balances of $123 million at September 30, 2002. Additionally, the rapid decline in interest rates increased our income from analysis charges by decreasing the earnings credit for commercial accounts.
Securities activities gains during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2002 resulted primarily from the sale of $74.2 million and $152.1 million of REMIC securities, respectively. Additionally, we also recorded a $14,000 and $41,000 unrealized loss on derivative instruments during the third quarter and year to date.
Securities activities during the three months ended September 30, 2001 consisted of a $4,000 unrealized loss on derivative instruments. Gains on securities activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 included the sale of mortgage-backed securities for a gain of $486,000 and a $62,000 unrealized gain on derivative instruments.
Other income during the 2002 quarter was unfavorably impacted by a $230,000 loss on the sale of CRA residential loans. Included in other income during the 2001 quarter was a $679,000 net gain from the disposition of fixed assets and the sale of six in-store branches to unrelated financial institutions. The declines in other income during the current three month period was partially offset by increased customer related fees associated with the Community acquisition and our high performance checking products and $96,000 of income associated with a real estate joint venture acquired in connection with the Community acquisition. Included in other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were the items mentioned above as well as $660,000 of income realized from a real estate joint venture and a $308,000 loss from the sale of residential loan servicing acquired in connection with the Community acquisition.

Compensation expenses increased 35% and 26% from the comparable 2001 quarter and nine-month periods, respectively. The increase in compensation expenses was the result of the implementation of seven day banking on April 1, 2002 and the addition of 172 employees following the Community acquisition. Total full time equivalent employees increased from 882 at September 30, 2001 to 1,326 at September 30, 2002. Additionally, employee benefits significantly increased from the comparable 2001 periods due to higher health insurance costs and a reduction in pension income associated with our defined benefit pension plan.
29
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased 17% and 15% from the comparable 2001 quarter and nine-month periods, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the Community acquisition which added 21 branches to our community banking division. Additionally, we recognized approximately $600,000 and $1.2 million of accelerated depreciation expense during the 2002 third quarter and nine month period, respectively, on equipment associated with our on-line banking delivery system. This equipment will be replaced as we upgrade the technology with new equipment and software during the fourth quarter of 2002.
The increase in advertising expense during the 2002 quarter and year to date reflect marketing initiatives to increase our transaction accounts and to promote our Seven Day Banking initiative.
The restructuring charges and impairment write-downs during the three months ended September 30, 2001 related to a $550,000 write down on assets associated with termination of in-store branch activities. Also, included in restructuring charges and impairment write-downs during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was a $219,000 restructuring charge recovery related to a charge recorded in a prior period associated with the termination of the Wal-Mart ATM relationship.
The restructuring charges and impairment write-downs during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were the result of a plan to discontinue certain ATM relationships. As a consequence, a $801,000 restructuring charge and a $206,000 impairment write-down were realized. These relationships were primarily with convenience stores and gas stations and did not meet our performance expectations and were unlikely to meet our future profitability goals. The remaining ATM machines (approximately 150 machines) are primarily located in our branch network, cruise ships and other remote locations.
Amortization of intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 consisted of the amortization of core deposit intangible assets acquired in connection with the Community acquisition. The core deposits intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated life of seven years.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company reevaluated a residential construction real estate property that was transferred to real estate owned during the second quarter of 2002 and recognized an additional $1.4 million write-down. The remaining write-downs of real estate owned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were associated with residential real estate owned.
Acquisition related charges and impairments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 include various data conversion and system integration expenses as well as facilities impairment write-downs associated with the Community acquisition. As a consequence of the acquisition, BankAtlantic closed two of its Palm Beach county branches during the second quarter of 2002. The two branch facilities were sold to unrelated financial institutions for an aggregate gain of $941,000.
The slight increase in other expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2002 was attributed to a $304,000 increase in check losses and higher operating expenses in connection with the increased size of BankAtlantic, partially offset by $540,000 of lower legal expense during the 2002 quarter compared to the same 2001 period. The additional check losses resulted from strategies related to our high performance checking campaign.
Other expenses increased by 10% from the comparable 2001 nine-month period. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2001 we recognized $1.2 million of gains on the sales of REO property compared to net gains of $114,000 from REO property sales during the same 2002 period. The remaining increase in other expenses were due to the items discussed above as well as $275,000 of additional loss provisions associated with the tax certificate portfolio. The tax certificate loss provision is calculated based on the aging of the portfolio.

Net revenues from sales of real estate represented the net profits on sales of real estate by Levitt and Sons and Core Communities as well as equity from earnings in real estate joint venture activities. The decrease in net revenues from the sales of real estate during the 2002 quarter compared to the same 2001 period primarily resulted from a decrease in Core Communities land sales. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in home sales net revenues at Levitt and Sons. Net revenues from land sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $2.0 million as compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2001. The 2001 land sales included the sale of a commercial tract of land for a $4.1 million gain. Net revenues from home sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $6.4 million as compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2001. Net revenues from joint venture activities were $130,000 during the 2002 quarter and $1.4 million during the 2001 quarter.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Core Communities net revenues on land sales was $12.6 million as compared to $7.5 million in 2001. The 2002 land sales included the sale of two commercial properties for net revenues of $9.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net revenues from homes sales at Levitt and Sons were $17.7 million as compared to $12.4 million during the same 2001 period. In 2001, Levitt Companies sold a marine rental property for a $680,000 gain. Net revenues on joint venture activities were $1.5 million during the 2002 period and $2.6 million during the 2001 period.
In April 2002, Levitt Companies acquired approximately 35% of Bluegreen Corporations common stock increasing the Companys consolidated ownership in Bluegreens common stock to approximately 40%. Bluegreen Corporation is a developer and marketer of drive-to vacation interval resorts and planned golf and residential real estate. Levitt Companies investment in Bluegreen Corporation is accounted for under the equity method. Levitt Companies income from Bluegreen Corporation for the 2002 quarter was $941,000 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.5 million.
The decrease in other non-interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same 2001 period, was primarily due to rental income associated with a marine property sold during the second quarter of 2001.
Net interest income decreased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily due to decreases in interest from investments, resulting from lower average balances and yields.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
The significant increase in compensation and benefits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 periods primarily resulted from increases in incentive accruals and personnel resulting from the addition of several new development projects. These new projects and an increase in home deliveries also resulted in an increase in selling and other general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same 2001 periods.

The significant increase in net interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily resulted from the expansion of municipal bond trading in connection with the Gruntal transaction. Tax exempt interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The above increase in net interest income was partially offset by the interest expense associated with $5.0 million of borrowings from the Company, as well as an increased level of borrowings from Ryan Becks clearing agent as a result of a higher volume of trading activity.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same 2001 periods, non-interest income increased by 364% and 243%, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of increased agency commissions and principal transaction revenues. These increases resulted from the additional investment consultants and trading personnel hired in connection with the Gruntal transaction. The above increases in revenues were partially offset by losses in the value of mutual funds associated with a deferred compensation plan acquired in connection with the Gruntal transaction. In September 2002, Ryan Beck allowed the participants in the plan to withdraw their vested benefits upon forfeiting their unvested benefits. A portion of mutual fund investments were sold to fund the plan distributions at a loss of $2.3 million. Also, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, Ryan Beck realized noncash losses of $1.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, from changes in value of the mutual fund assets. At September 30, 2002, $12.6 million of these mutual fund securities remained.
The increase in employee compensation and benefits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same 2001 periods, was primarily due to the additional personnel hired in connection with the Gruntal transaction. The increase in compensation expense was partially offset by a $1.4 million and $2.3 million reduction in the
32
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Gruntal nonqualified deferred compensation obligation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively.
Goodwill amortization during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 represented the amortization of goodwill associated with prior acquisitions. Upon the implementation of Financial Accounting Standard Number 142 on January 1, 2002, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. We will evaluate goodwill for impairment in subsequent periods in accordance with FASB Statement 142.
Acquisition related charges and impairments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, included branch closures, professional fees, and regulatory costs incurred in connection with the Gruntal transaction.
The increase in other expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same 2001 periods, related to increased floor brokerage and clearing fees attributed to a significant increase in commission revenues. Increased rent, occupancy and communication expenses were associated with the additional offices acquired in connection with the Gruntal transaction.

Interest and fees on loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 represent interest income associated with a $5 million loan to Ryan Beck and a $30 million loan to Levitt Companies. Interest and fees on loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 represent interest income on a loan to a non-real estate joint venture. The interest on investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 primarily represent interest income earned on reverse repurchase agreement investments with BankAtlantic.
The increase in interest expense on debentures and notes payable for the 2002 quarter, compared to the same 2001 period resulted from higher average balances of trust preferred securities and notes payable. During 2002, we issued $115.4 million of trust preferred securities, increased our bank line of credit borrowings and issued $3.7 million of notes payable.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
The decrease in interest expense on debentures and notes payable for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same 2001 period, resulted from lower average balances from the redemption of the subordinated investment notes and convertible subordinated debentures during the 2001 third quarter. The above declines in interest expense were partially offset by the issuance of trust preferred securities mentioned above.
The net revenues from the sales of real estate resulted from the recognition and deferral of interest associated with inter-company loans to Levitt Companies. The deferred income was recognized when the real estate associated with the inter-company loans was sold.
Income from equity method investment represents BankAtlantic Bancorps 4.9% ownership interest in the earnings of Bluegreen Corporation. In April 2002, Levitt Companies acquired an additional 35% of Bluegreen Corporations common stock. See the discussion above concerning the investment in Bluegreen Corporation by Levitt Companies.
The Company sold equity securities with a book value of $4.5 million and $7.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 for gains shown on the above table. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company sold equity securities with a book value of $1.1 million and $2.8 million for gains shown on the above table.
The Company recognized an impairment charge of $302,000 and $18.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, on equity securities resulting from significant declines in their value that were considered other than temporary due to the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuers of the equity securities. A significant portion of the impairment charge for the nine month period was related to Seisint, Inc. During 1999, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with Seisint Inc. and invested $10 million in cash and issued 848,364 shares of Class A common stock for $15 million of Seisint, Inc. common stock. Seisint is a privately held technology company, which provides marketing information, application solutions and customer relationship management applications. The Company anticipated benefits from this strategic relationship through the exchange of ideas and cooperation in the development by Seisint of technology and support systems for use by financial institutions. Additionally, both Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo were directors of Seisint and each acquired direct and indirect interests in Seisint common stock. Because Seisint did not meet the objectives of its business plan or financial performance goals, the Company performed an evaluation of its investment in Seisint to determine if there was an other than temporary decline in value associated with this investment. As a consequence of this evaluation, the Company wrote off its entire $15 million investment in Seisint during June 2002.
The Company recognized a $5,000 and $700,000 impairment charge associated with equity securities during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001. As a result of these losses, the Company has revised its policy for holding company equity investments. Any future equity investments will be limited to liquid securities and will be subject to significant concentration restrictions. At September 30, 2002 parent company equity investments totaled $4.9 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 the Company accrued $0 and $513,000 of compensation expense related to the Ryan Beck retention pool. The participants accounts in the Ryan Beck retention pool vested on June 28, 2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company accrued $1.0 million and $1.5 million of compensation expense related to the Ryan Beck retention pool established in connection with the Companys acquisition of Ryan Beck in 1998. Also included in compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $2.0 million of acquisition related expenses associated with the Gruntal transaction.
The impairment of goodwill in 2001 related to the Companys 1998 acquisition of Leasing Technology, Inc. (LTI). We concluded, during the third quarter of 2001, that LTI would not meet our performance expectations. As a consequence we closed down the offices of LTI and ceased the origination of leases.
Goodwill amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2001 represents the amortization of goodwill associated with all acquisitions. Upon the implementation of Financial Accounting Standard Number 142 on January 1, 2002, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. We will evaluate goodwill for impairment in subsequent periods in accordance with FASB Statement 142.
Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 primarily consist of professional fees. Included in other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was a $389,000 write-off of deferred

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
offering costs associated with the redemption of subordinated investment notes. Included in other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $410,000 of fees paid to Ryan Beck in connection with the underwriting of the Companys securities.
Financial Condition
Our total assets at September 30, 2002 were $5.7 billion compared to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase in total assets primarily resulted from:
| The acquisition of Community Savings, which added approximately $969 million in assets. | ||
| The Gruntal transaction which added $165 million in assets which were primarily trading securities. | ||
| A $60.0 million investment in Bluegreen Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange listed company which engages in the acquisition, development, marketing and sale of primarily drive-to vacation interval resorts, golf communities and residential land. | ||
| The purchase of a $14.3 million office facility to consolidate BankAtlantics headquarters and back office operations into a centralized facility. | ||
| Goodwill associated with the Community acquisition partially offset by the impairment of goodwill assigned to the Ryan Beck reportable segment. | ||
| The origination of commercial real estate and home equity loans. | ||
| Increases in real estate held for development and sale and joint venture activities due to an increase in Levitt and Sons real estate inventory and the purchase of land for development by Core Communities. | ||
| Increases in deferred tax assets related to the impairment of securities. | ||
| Increases in cash and due from depository institutions due to higher in-transit cash letter balances. | ||
| Higher other assets balances associated with the acquisition and issuance of forgivable loans associated with the Gruntal transaction. |
The above increases in total assets were partially offset by:
| Decreased balances of residential loans due to accelerated loan repayments. | ||
| Continued run-off in the syndications, leasing, international and indirect lending areas, which were discontinued activities. | ||
| Reduction in securities available for sale related to the sale of $152.1 million of mortgage backed securities. |
The Companys total liabilities at September 30, 2002 were $5.3 billion compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2001.
The increase in total liabilities primarily resulted from:
| The acquisition of Community Savings, which added approximately $799 million in liabilities. | ||
| The Gruntal transaction, which added approximately $134 million in liabilities. | ||
| The issuance in the aggregate of $115.4 million of trust preferred securities. | ||
| Higher due to clearing agent liability associated with Ryan Beck trading activities. | ||
| Additional borrowings from the Companys bank line of credit and at Levitt Companies to fund land purchases and its investment in Bluegreen. | ||
| Increased other liabilities related to a higher accrued expenses and compensation associated with the Gruntal transaction. |
The above increases in total liabilities were partially offset by:
| Lower short term borrowings associated with an increase in FHLB advance obligations and higher deposit balances. | ||
| A decrease in securities sold not yet purchased associated with Ryan Beck trading activities. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
35
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
The Companys principal source of liquidity is dividends from BankAtlantic. The Company also obtains funds through the issuance of equity securities, sales of securities available for sale, borrowings from financial institutions and issuance of debt securities. The Companys annual debt service at September 30, 2002 associated with its subordinated debentures, Trust Preferred Securities, and financial institution borrowings was $20.6 million. The Companys estimated current annual dividends to common shareholders are approximately $7.2 million, of which $5.2 million has been declared and paid during 2002. The declaration and payment of dividends and the ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements of the Company as well as indenture restrictions and loan covenants and on the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends to the Company, which payments are subject to OTS approval and regulations and based upon BankAtlantics regulatory capital levels and net income. During 2001, the Company received $22.2 million of dividends from BankAtlantic.
In September 2002, the Company participated in two pooled trust preferred securities offerings in which $35 million of trust preferred securities were issued in two separate transactions. The trust preferred securities pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 340 basis points. The securities are redeemable after September 2007 and are due September 2032. The net proceeds to the Company from the Trust Preferred Securities offerings after underwriting discounts and expenses were approximately $34 million. The Company used the proceeds from the trust preferred securities offerings, as well as additional revolving line of credit borrowing, to redeem $43.7 million of its 9.5% trust preferred securities on November 12, 2002, at par plus accrued and unpaid distributions through the redemption date. This redemption resulted in a $1.2 million loss associated with the write-off of deferred offering costs. The funds for the redemption of the trust preferred securities were obtained from the issuance of $35 million of LIBOR based trust preferred securities and additional revolving line of credit borrowings. The annual debt service on the 9.5% trust preferred securities which were redeemed was $4.2 million.
Certain covenants contained in a Levitt Companies loan agreement prohibit it from paying dividends to the Company. Ryan Beck has not paid dividends to the Company and it is not anticipated that Ryan Beck will pay dividends to the Company during 2002.
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. In April 2002 the Company borrowed $29.9 million under this credit facility to fund Levitt Companies investment in Bluegreen Corporation. In June 2002 the Company used a portion of the proceeds from its participation in a pooled trust preferred securities offering to reduce outstanding borrowings under this credit facility to $16 million. As a consequence of the Community acquisition, the Company requested and received from the lender under the credit facility certain waivers of financial covenants through December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that it will need additional waivers beyond December 31, 2002. Amounts outstanding accrue interest at the prime rate minus 50 basis points and the facility matures on September 1, 2004.
BankAtlantics primary sources of funds during the nine-months of 2002 were from principal collected on loans, securities available for sale and investment securities held to maturity, sales of securities available for sale, borrowings from FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, sales of property and equipment, real estate held for sale and REO, capital contributions from BankAtlantic Bancorp and deposit inflows. These funds were primarily utilized to fund operating expenses and deposit outflows, and to fund or purchase loans, FHLB stock, tax certificates, and securities available for sale and to acquire Community. At September 30, 2002, BankAtlantic met all applicable liquidity and regulatory capital requirements.
In October 2002, BankAtlantic issued $22 million of its floating rate subordinated debentures due 2012. The Subordinated Debentures pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 345 basis points and are redeemable after October 2007 at a redemption price based upon then prevailing market interest rates. The net proceeds will be used by BankAtlantic for general corporate purposes to support asset growth. The Subordinated Debentures were issued by BankAtlantic in a private transaction as part of a larger pooled securities offering. The debentures currently qualify for inclusion in BankAtlantics total risk based capital.
BankAtlantics commitments to originate and purchase loans at September 30, 2002 were $470.7 million and $85.0 million compared to $210.1 million and $20.4 million at September 30, 2001. Additionally, BankAtlantic had commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities of $144.6 million at September 30, 2001 and zero at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, loan commitments represented approximately 15.3% of net loans receivable, net.

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 FDICIAs defined capital ratios, as discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Ryan Beck, is subject to the net capital provision of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires that Ryan Becks aggregate indebtedness shall not exceed 15 times net capital as defined under such provision. 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 and price of issues in which markets are made by Ryan Beck, not to exceed $1,000,000. At September 30, 2002, Ryan Becks regulatory net capital was approximately $12.3 million, which exceeded minimum net capital rule requirements by $11.3 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 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 September 30, 2002.
Levitt Companies primary source of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were proceeds from the sale of real estate inventory, capital contributions and borrowings from BankAtlantic Bancorp and borrowings from financial institutions. These funds were primarily utilized to purchase real estate inventory, repay borrowings and invest in Bluegreen Corporation. In April 2002, Levitt Companies received an $18.6 million capital contribution and borrowed $30 million from the Company. Levitt Companies utilized these funds plus $5.1 million of working capital to purchase a 35% interest in Bluegreen Corporations common stock. Levitt Companies borrowings with financial institutions require Levitt Companies to comply with certain financial covenants during the term of the agreements. At September 30, 2002 Levitt Companies was in compliance with all loan agreement financial covenants.

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 September 30, 2002 resulting from a change in interest rates. Interest rate sensitive instruments included in the model were our:
| Loan portfolio, | ||
| Debt securities available for sale, | ||
| Investment securities, | ||
| FHLB stock, | ||
| Federal Funds sold, | ||
| Deposits, | ||
| Advances from FHLB, | ||
| Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, | ||
| Federal Funds purchased, | ||
| Notes and Bonds payable | ||
| Subordinated Debentures, | ||
| Trust Preferred Securities, | ||
| Forward contracts, | ||
| Interest rate swaps, and | ||
| Off-balance sheet loan commitments. |
The model calculates the net potential gains and losses in net portfolio fair value by:
(i) | discounting anticipated cash flows from existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts at market rates to determine fair values at September 30, 2002, and | ||
(ii) | discounting the above expected cash flows based on instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve to determine fair values. | ||
(iii) | The difference between the fair value calculated in (i) and (ii) is the potential gain or loss in net portfolio fair values. |
Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it
believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no quoted market for many
of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether
the fair value presented would be indicative of the value negotiated in an
actual sale. BankAtlantics 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
38
Table of Contents
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Presented below is an analysis of the Companys interest rate risk at September 30, 2002 as calculated utilizing the Companys 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.
Net | |||||||||
Portfolio | |||||||||
Changes | Value | Dollar | |||||||

$ | 335,340 | $ | (146,459 | ) |
In preparing the above table, the Company makes various assumptions to determine the net portfolio value at the assumed changes in interest rate. These assumptions include:
| loan prepayment rates, | ||
| deposit decay rates, | ||
| market values of certain assets under the representative interest rate scenarios, and | ||
| re-pricing of certain deposits and borrowings |
It was also assumed that delinquency rates would not change as a result of changes in interest rates although there can be no assurance that this would be the case. Even if interest rates change in the designated increments, there can be no assurance that our assets and liabilities would be impacted as indicated in the table above. In addition, a change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts, accompanied by a change in the shape of the yield curve, could cause significantly different changes to the fair values than indicated above. Furthermore, the result of the calculations in the preceding table are subject to significant deviations based upon actual future events, including anticipatory or reactive measures which we may take in the future.
Equity Price Risk
The Company maintains a portfolio of trading and available for sale securities which subjects the Company to equity pricing risks. The change in fair values of equity securities represents instantaneous changes in all equity prices segregated by trading securities, securities sold not yet purchased and available for sale securities. The following are hypothetical changes in the fair value of our securities sold, not yet purchased, trading and available for sale securities at September 30, 2002 based on percentage changes in fair value. Actual future price appreciation or depreciation may be different from the changes identified in the table below.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Excluded from the above table are $3.4 million of investments in private companies for which no current market exists. The ability to realize on or liquidate our investments will depend on future market conditions and is subject to significant risk.
Ryan Beck, in its capacity as a market-maker and dealer in corporate and municipal fixed-income and equity securities, may enter into transactions in a variety of cash and derivative financial instruments in order to facilitate customer order flow and hedge market risk exposures. These financial instruments include securities sold, not yet purchased and futures contracts. Securities sold, not yet purchased represent obligations of the Company to deliver specified financial instruments at contracted prices, thereby creating a liability to purchase the financial instrument in the market at prevailing prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk as the Companys ultimate obligation may exceed the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosures controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. No significant changes were made in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. |

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In April 2002, Ryan, Beck & Co., a subsidiary of the Company, acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Gruntal & Co., LLC (Gruntal). Ryan Beck has been named as a defendant in a number of arbitration claims filed by former Gruntal clients whose claims arose prior to the transaction date. Ryan Beck has been named in these actions as a successor in interest to Gruntal. In some instances the former Gruntal brokers against whom the claims relate are now employed by Ryan Beck and in other instances the brokers are not employed by Ryan Beck. Ryan Beck did not assume any of the liabilities associated with these actions in the Gruntal transaction. While the Company does not consider any individual action to be material, an adverse result in a number of these actions in the aggregate could adversely effect the Companys historical financial statements. In October 2002 Gruntal filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws.
