These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Description of the Plan General The following description of the Bluegreen Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. Copies of this document are available from Bluegreen Corporation (the Company). The Plan, which became effective March 31, 1992, is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company except those employees that are leased or treated as independent contractors, as defined by the Plan, and who have completed one year of service and are age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Contributions and Vesting Participant contributions cannot exceed 18% of a participant's compensation or Internal Revenue Code (the Code) guidelines. The Company's contribution is determined annually and is equal to a percentage determined at the Company's discretion of the participant's contributions. The Company shall not match in excess of 6% of the participant's compensation. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company amended the Plan to in addition to the aforementioned match provide a fixed-rate matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 3% of a participant's contribution with an annual limit of $1,000. Participants vest in Company contributions at a rate of 25% each year upon completion of two years of service, resulting in 100% vesting after five years of continuous service. Participant Accounts Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, Company contributions and an allocation of Plan investment results and forfeitures of nonvested amounts. Company contributions are allocated based on the participant's contributions relative to total participant contributions during the plan year. Allocations of Plan earnings and forfeitures are based on individual account balances relative to the entire fund options. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided by the participant's vested account balance. 4 Bluegreen Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 1. Description of the Plan (continued) Loans to Participants The Plan allows participants to borrow against their vested account balances. Each loan will bear a reasonable interest rate determined by the Company in accordance with the Plan provisions, as defined. The maximum amount available for loans is the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's vested account balance. However, if a participant's vested account balance is $20,000 or less, then the maximum amount available for loan is the lesser of $10,000 or 100% of the participant's vested account balance. Loan repayment periods are for a maximum of five years unless the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence. Loans are repaid through payroll deductions. Benefits Upon attainment of retirement age, disability, death or termination of employment, a distribution of the vested account balance is made to the participant or named beneficiary. Distributions can be made in lump sum, life annuities, joint and 50% survivor annuities and in kind for the portion of the participant's account that is invested in the Company's stock, as defined in the Plan. Hardship withdrawals, as defined in the Code, are permitted only from employer elective deferrals and eligible earnings thereon. Plan Termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts. 5 Bluegreen Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Plan's financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Valuation of Investments Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices, which represents the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses, comprised primarily of trustee and accounting fees, are paid directly by the Company. The Plan pays expenses related to the management of the Plan's investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 6 Bluegreen Corporation Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 3. Investments STI Trust & Investments Operations, Inc.
