NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

 

1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries may also be referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “us,” or “our” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company” or “BankAtlantic Bancorp”) is a unitary savings bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Florida in 1994. BankAtlantic Bancorp’s principal asset is its investment in BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries (BankAtlantic”). BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, provides traditional retail banking services and a wide range of commercial banking products and related financial services through a broad network of community branches located in Florida.

On November 1, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp entered into a definitive agreement to sell BankAtlantic to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”), which agreement was amended on March 13, 2012 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was amended to, among other things, provide for the assumption by BB&T of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s $285 million in principal amount of outstanding trust preferred securities (“TruPs”) obligations. BankAtlantic Bancorp remains obligated to pay at the closing of the transaction all interest accrued on the TruPs through closing, and agreed to pay or escrow certain legal fees and expenses with respect to the now resolved TruPs-related litigation brought in the Delaware Chancery Court against the Company by holders of the TruPs and certain trustees. The accrued interest on the TruPs as of March 31, 2012 was $45.5 million. The Company expects to fund the TruPs accrued interest and the TruPs related legal obligation from transaction proceeds. The Agreement provides that BankAtlantic will form two subsidiaries, BBX Capital Management, LLC (“CAM”) and Florida Asset Resolution Group, LLC (“FAR”). BankAtlantic will contribute certain performing and non-performing loans, tax certificates, cash and real estate owned to FAR that were recorded on the Statement of Financial Condition of BankAtlantic at $402 million as of March 31, 2012, inclusive of $12 million in cash. BankAtlantic will also contribute non-performing commercial loans, commercial real estate owned and cash as well as previously written off assets to CAM that were recorded on the Statement of Financial Condition of BankAtlantic at $208 million as of March 31, 2012, inclusive of $67 million in cash. The assets contributed to FAR and CAM are referred to herein on a combined basis as “Retained Assets”. At the closing of the transaction, BankAtlantic will contribute the membership interests in FAR and CAM to BankAtlantic Bancorp, and then BankAtlantic Bancorp will sell to BB&T all of the shares of capital stock of BankAtlantic. As a result of BB&T’s assumption of the TruPs obligations, BB&T will receive from BankAtlantic Bancorp a 95% preferred membership interest in the net cash flows of FAR until such time as it has recovered $285 million in preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 200 basis points per annum. At that time, BB&T’s interest in FAR will terminate, and BankAtlantic Bancorp, which will initially hold a 5% preferred membership interest in the net cash flows of FAR, will thereafter be entitled to any and all residual proceeds. FAR’s assets are expected to be monetized over a period of seven years, or longer provided BB&T’s preference amount is repaid within such seven-year period. BankAtlantic Bancorp has also agreed to provide BB&T with an incremental $35 million guarantee to further assure BB&T’s recovery within seven years of the $285 million preference amount. FAR will assume any liabilities and servicing costs related to the assets contributed to it by BankAtlantic.

Pursuant to the Agreement, BankAtlantic Bancorp will receive a purchase premium of 10.32% of non-certificate deposits at closing (provided that the purchase premium will not exceed $315.9 million) resulting in the Company recognizing a gain from the transaction approximately equal to the purchase premium less transaction costs. The transaction, which is currently anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2012, is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary terms and conditions. At the closing of the transaction, the sum of the purchase premium and the net asset value of BankAtlantic, as calculated pursuant to the Agreement after giving effect to the distribution to BankAtlantic Bancorp of the membership interests in CAM and FAR, is to be paid in cash. If the sum is a positive number, it is to be paid by BB&T to BankAtlantic Bancorp. If the sum is a negative number, it is to be paid by BankAtlantic Bancorp to BB&T. Upon consummation of the transaction, BankAtlantic Bancorp expects to have a controlling financial interest in FAR and anticipates consolidating FAR in the Company’s financial statements. BB&T’s 95% preferred interest in FAR is mandatorily redeemable; therefore, the Company expects to account for BB&T’s interest in FAR as debt.

Based on the probable sale of BankAtlantic, the Company presented the assets and liabilities anticipated to be transferred to BB&T, which consists of all of BankAtlantic’s assets and liabilities less the Retained Assets, as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” in its unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2012. The majority of cash and interest bearing deposits in other banks will transfer to BB&T upon closing of the transaction; however, except for the cash at BankAtlantic’s branches and automated teller machines, this cash and interest bearing deposits are not presented as “Assets held for sale” as of March 31, 2012. The assets and liabilities anticipated to be

transferred to BB&T are measured on a combined basis as a single disposal group at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities held for sale are presented in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2012 based on their carrying value as the Company anticipates recording a gain associated with the transaction.

BankAtlantic’s community banking, investment, capital services and tax certificate reporting units are reflected as “Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company will continue to service and manage and may originate commercial loans after the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T and as a result, the results of operations for the Commercial Lending reporting unit are included in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations as continuing operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities anticipated to be transferred to BB&T were not reclassified to assets and liabilities held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2011. The Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows remain unchanged from prior period historical presentation for all periods presented. Additionally, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to BB&T certain assets and liabilities associated with its commercial lending reporting unit and these assets and liabilities are included in assets and liabilities held for sale in the Company’s Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2012. The Company will retain certain assets and liabilities associated with the disposed reporting units and these assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition in the respective line item as of March 31, 2012.

In connection with the closing of the transaction with BB&T, BankAtlantic Bancorp has requested from the Federal Reserve decertification as a savings and loan holding company. After consummation of the transaction, BankAtlantic Bancorp expects to no longer operate as a unitary savings bank holding company.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which reflects the realization of assets and the repayments of liabilities in the normal course of business.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Throughout this document, the term “fair value” in each case is an estimate of fair value as discussed herein.

In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) as are necessary for a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2012, the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated stockholders' equity, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the revised financial statement presentation for 2012.

The majority of the cash and interest bearing deposits in other banks on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position will also be transferred to BB&T in connection with the assumption of liabilities by BB&T.

BankAtlantic’s five reporting units each reflect a component of the BankAtlantic entity and each is the lowest level for which cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes. These five components are Community Banking, Commercial Lending, Tax Certificates, Investments, and Capital Services. The Company determined that its Community Banking, Investments, Capital Services and Tax Certificates reporting units should be treated as discontinued operations. The Agreement commits the Company to a plan to sell all operations and the majority of the assets and liabilities of these discontinued reporting units. Management does not intend to continue in any material respect any activities of or have any continuing involvement with these reporting units. The Company intends to continue Commercial Lending reporting unit activities after the closing of the transaction. Therefore, although certain assets of this reporting unit will be sold to BB&T and are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2012, the Commercial Lending reporting unit was not reported as discontinued operations.

Pursuant to the Agreement, FAR will include certain assets and liabilities that were associated with BankAtlantic Bancorp’s disposed reporting units (Community Banking, Tax Certificates, Investments, and Capital Services reporting

units). The Company determined that the ongoing cash flows of the disposed reporting units were not significant relative to the historical cash flows of each reporting unit; therefore the income and expenses associated with the disposed reporting units are reported in discontinued operations for each period presented. The carrying value of the disposed reporting units’ net assets anticipated to be included in FAR’s total assets discussed above was $134 million as of March 31, 2012. BankAtlantic Bancorp and BB&T intend to hire asset managers to manage and ultimately liquidate these FAR assets in orderly transactions over a seven year period. Ninety-five percent of the cash flows from these assets net of operating expenses and the preferred return will be applied toward the payment of BB&T’s preferred interest in FAR.

3. Regulatory and Liquidity Considerations

On February 23, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic each entered into a Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and BankAtlantic’s primary regulator on that date. Since July 21, 2011, the regulatory oversight of BankAtlantic Bancorp is under the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) and the regulatory oversight of BankAtlantic is under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) as a result of the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The Order to Cease and Desist to which BankAtlantic Bancorp is subject is referred to as the “Company Order,” the Order to Cease and Desist to which BankAtlantic is subject is referred to as the “Bank Order”

 

11


Table of Contents

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

and the Company Order and Bank Order are referred to collectively as the “Orders.” The OTS issued the Orders due to the Company’s losses over the prior three years, high levels of classified assets and inadequate levels of capital based on BankAtlantic’s risk profile as determined by the OTS following its examination. BankAtlantic Bancorp submitted written plans to the OTS that address, among other things, BankAtlantic’s capital and set forth BankAtlantic Bancorp’s business plan. In addition, under the terms of the Company Order, BankAtlantic Bancorp is prohibited from taking certain actions without receiving the prior written non-objection of the FRB, including, without limitation, declaring or paying any dividends or other capital distributions and incurring certain indebtedness. BankAtlantic Bancorp is also required to ensure BankAtlantic’s compliance with the terms of the Bank Order as well as all applicable laws, rules, regulations and agency guidance.

Pursuant to the terms of the Bank Order, BankAtlantic is required to maintain a tier 1 (core) capital ratio equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 14%. At March 31, 2012, BankAtlantic had a tier 1 (core) capital ratio of 7.72% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.77%. BankAtlantic’s tier 1 capital ratio fell below the regulatory requirements due to growth in assets during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in assets reflects $179.6 million in deposit growth with the proceeds invested in cash at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the BB&T transaction is not completed, BankAtlantic would take steps to improve its tier 1 capital ratio through the reduction of cash at the Federal Reserve Bank with a corresponding reduction in deposits. Since BankAtlantic’s tier 1 capital ratio fell below the minimum required tier 1 capital ratio in the Bank Order, BankAtlantic may, upon any written request from the OCC, be required to submit a contingency plan, which must detail actions which BankAtlantic would take to either merge with or be acquired by another banking institution. BankAtlantic would not be required to implement such contingency plan until such time as it receives written notification from the OCC to do so. BankAtlantic believes that any contingency plan requirement would be met by the Agreement with BB&T. In addition, the Bank Order requires BankAtlantic to limit its asset growth and restricts BankAtlantic from originating or purchasing new commercial real estate loans or entering into certain material agreements, in each case without receiving the prior written non-objection of the OCC. As a result of the deposit growth noted above, BankAtlantic’s assets grew during the first quarter of 2012 by $172.6 million, all of which was maintained in cash balances. Separately, the OTS confirmed that it has no objection to BankAtlantic originating loans to facilitate the sale of certain assets or the renewal, extension or modification of existing commercial real estate loans, subject in each case to compliance with applicable regulations and bank policies. Under the terms of the Bank Order, BankAtlantic has revised certain of its plans, programs and policies and submitted to the OCC certain written plans, including a capital plan, a business plan and a plan to reduce BankAtlantic’s delinquent loans and non-performing assets. The Bank Order prohibits the payment of dividends and other distributions without the prior written non-objection of the OCC. The Orders also include certain restrictions on compensation paid to directors and named executive officers of BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic, and restrictions on agreements with affiliates.

In the event the BB&T transaction is not consummated, BankAtlantic Bancorp may seek to issue the Company’s Class A Common Stock in public or private offerings, and BankAtlantic would seek to adopt operating strategies to increase revenues and to reduce asset balances, non-interest expenses, and non-performing loans in order to meet the heightened regulatory capital levels and asset growth restrictions under the Bank Order. There can be no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp or BankAtlantic will be able to execute these or other strategies in order for BankAtlantic to comply with these requirements in subsequent periods.

Each Order became effective on February 23, 2011 and will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended by the OCC, as it relates to the Bank Order, or the FRB, as it relates to the Company Order. No fines or penalties were imposed in connection with either Order. If there is any material failure by BankAtlantic Bancorp or BankAtlantic to comply with the terms of the Orders, or if unanticipated market factors emerge, and/or if the Company is unable to successfully execute its plans, or comply with other regulatory requirements, then the regulators could take further action, which could include the imposition of fines and/or additional enforcement actions. Enforcement actions broadly available to regulators include the issuance of a capital directive, removal of officers and/or directors, institution of proceedings for receivership or conservatorship, and termination of deposit insurance. Any such action would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position.

Liquidity Considerations

Both BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic actively manage liquidity and cash flow needs. BankAtlantic’s liquidity is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and secondarily dependent on the availability of its lines of credit borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) as well as the Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs. As of March 31, 2012, BankAtlantic had $1.1 billion of cash and approximately $578

 

12


Table of Contents

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

million of available unused borrowings, consisting of $543 million of unused FHLB line of credit capacity, $7 million of unpledged securities, and $28 million of available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve. BankAtlantic has $601 million of loans pledged against the FHLB unused borrowings and $30 million of securities available for sale pledged against unused Federal Reserve borrowings. However, such available borrowings are subject to regular reviews and may be terminated, suspended or reduced at any time at the discretion of the issuing institution or based on the availability of qualifying collateral. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, adverse litigation or regulatory actions, or deterioration in BankAtlantic’s financial condition may reduce the amounts it is able to borrow, make borrowings unavailable or make terms of the borrowings and deposits less favorable. As a result, BankAtlantic’s cost of funds could increase and the availability of funding sources could decrease.

BankAtlantic Bancorp had cash of $4.8 million and current liabilities of $6.9 million as of March 31, 2012. BankAtlantic Bancorp does not have debt maturing until March 2032 and has the ability to defer interest payments on its junior subordinated debentures until December 2013; however, based on current interest rates, accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $76 million would be owed as of December 2013 if interest is deferred until that date. BankAtlantic Bancorp’s operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $5.7 million with the majority of these expenses associated with the now resolved TruPs litigation in the Delaware Chancery Court. The majority of the current liabilities were associated with the TruPs litigation and are anticipated to be paid upon consummation of the transaction with BB&T. BankAtlantic Bancorp’s liquidity is dependent on the consummation of the Agreement, repayments of loans, sales of loans and real estate, and obtaining funds from external sources. Based on the current and expected liquidity needs and sources, the Company expects to be able to meet its liquidity needs over the next 12 months. In the event that the BB&T transaction is not consummated, BankAtlantic Bancorp may seek to increase liquidity to meet its obligations through the sale of assets or the issuance of its Class A common stock.

There were no recurring liabilities measured at fair value in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

The valuation techniques and the inputs used in our financial statements to measure the fair value of our recurring financial instruments are described below.

The fair values of mortgage-backed and real estate mortgage conduit securities (“REMICS”) are estimated using independent pricing sources and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing uses a market approach valuation technique and Level 2 valuation inputs as quoted market prices are not available for the specific securities that the Company owns. The independent pricing sources value these securities using observable market inputs including: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other reference data in the secondary institutional market, which is the principal market for these types of assets. To validate fair values obtained from the pricing sources, the Company reviews fair value estimates obtained from brokers, investment advisors and others to determine the reasonableness of the fair values obtained from independent pricing sources. The Company reviews any price that it determines may not be reasonable and requires the pricing sources to explain the differences in fair value or re-evaluate its estimated fair value.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Equity securities are generally fair valued using the market approach and quoted market prices (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2) with inputs obtained from independent pricing sources, if available. We also obtain non-binding broker quotes to validate fair values obtained from matrix pricing. We also invest in private limited partnerships that do not have readily determinable fair values. We use the net asset value per share as provided by the partnership to estimate the fair value of these investments. The net asset value of the partnership is a Level 2 input since we have the ability to require the redemption of our investment at its net asset value.

There were no material liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the Company’s financial statements.

Loans Measured For Impairment

Impaired loans are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell. The Company primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring non-homogenous impaired loans. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or properties, and we may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, we use our judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a consequence, the calculation

Table of Contents

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

of the fair value of the collateral are considered Level 3 inputs. The Company generally recognizes impairment losses when impaired homogenous loans become 120 days delinquent based on third party broker price opinions or an automated valuation service to obtain the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell. These third party valuations from real estate professionals also use Level 3 inputs in determining fair values. The observable market inputs used to fair value loans are comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties, risk adjusted discounts rates and foreclosure period and exposure periods. The fair value of our loans may significantly increase or decrease based on property values as our loans are primarily real estate loans.

Impaired Real Estate Owned

Real estate is generally valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties. The market observable data was generally comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties and risk adjusted discount rates. However, the appraisers or brokers use professional judgments in determining the fair value of the properties and we may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. As a consequence of using appraisals, broker price opinions and adjustments to appraisals, the fair values of the properties are considered Level 3 inputs.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are valued using an income approach with Level 3 inputs as market quotes or sale transactions of similar loans are generally not available. The fair value is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in the loans held for sale portfolio. For non-performing loans held for sale, the forecasted cash flows are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell adjusted for foreclosure expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until foreclosure or sale.

Management has made estimates of fair value that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments and management has derived the fair value of the majority of these financial instruments using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs, the Company may not receive the estimated value upon sale or disposition of the asset or pay the estimated value upon disposition of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturity. Management estimates used in its net present value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is unknown and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. The Company’s 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.

Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories.

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimate of average maturity is based on BankAtlantic's historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management assigns a credit risk premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on risk grades and delinquency status. The fair value of non-performing collateral dependent loans is estimated using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value of non-performing loans utilizes the fair value of the collateral adjusted for operating and selling expenses and discounted over the estimated holding period based on the market risk inherent in the property.

The fair value of tax certificates is calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that take into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments.

The fair value of FHLB stock is its carrying amount as the FHLB redeems its stock at par.

As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts, is shown in the above table at book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated by the discounted value of contractual cash flows with the discount rate estimated using current rates offered by BankAtlantic for similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of BankAtlantic’s subordinated debentures was based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate adjusted for non-performance risk (Level 3 inputs).

In determining the fair value of all of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures, the Company used NASDAQ price quotes available with respect to its $75.0 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures (“public debentures”). However, $266.1 million of the outstanding trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures are not traded, but are privately held in pools (“private debentures”) and with no liquidity or readily determinable source for valuation. We have deferred the payment of interest with respect to all of our junior subordinated debentures as permitted by the terms of these securities. Based on the deferral status and the lack of liquidity and ability of a holder to actively sell such private debentures, the fair value of these private debentures may be subject to a greater discount to par and have a lower fair value than indicated by the public debenture price quotes. However, due to their private nature and the lack of a trading market, fair value of the private debentures was not readily determinable at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and as a practical alternative, management used the NASDAQ price quotes of the public debentures to value all of the outstanding junior subordinated debentures whether privately held or public traded. As such, the private debentures were valued using Level 2 inputs.

As part of the transition of the regulation of OTS savings associations to the OCC, the OCC provided guidance to thrifts related to their transition to OCC regulatory reporting, which was to be implemented no later than March 31, 2012, including guidance surrounding specific valuation allowances on collateral dependent loans. Under OCC guidance, where the appraised value of collateral on a collateral dependent loan is less than the recorded investment of the loan, a charge-off of the amount of the deficiency rather than a specific valuation allowance is now generally required. Management considered the appraisals on its impaired collateral dependent loans, including appraised values and appraisal dates, and during the first quarter of 2012, the Company charged down the recorded investment of loans by $66.5 million to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell. This charge down consisted entirely of the charging-off of existing specific valuation allowances. As a specific valuation allowance was previously established for these loans, the charge-offs did not impact the provision for loan losses or the net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2012, but did reduce the Company’s allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in the loans.

Impaired Loans – Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructured agreement. Impairment is evaluated based on past due status for consumer and residential loans. Impairment is evaluated as part of the Company’s on-going credit monitoring process for commercial and small business loans which results in the evaluation for impairment of

all criticized loans. Factors considered in determining if a loan is impaired are past payment history, strength of the borrower or guarantors, and cash flow associated with the collateral or business. The Company generally measures loans for impairment using the fair value of collateral less cost to sell method. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing interest rate or based on the fair value of the loan. Collateral dependent impaired loans are charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell. Interest payments on impaired loans for all loan classes are recognized on a cash basis, unless collectability of the principal and interest amount is probable, in which case interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. Impaired loans held for sale are measured for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell adjusted for foreclosure expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until foreclosure and sale.

Impaired loans without specific valuation allowances represent loans that were written-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, loans in which the collateral value less cost to sell was greater than the carrying value of the loan, loans in which the present value of the cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rate were equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loans, or large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that were collectively measured for impairment.

The Company monitors collateral dependent loans and performs an impairment analysis on these loans quarterly. Generally, a full appraisal is obtained when a real estate loan is initially evaluated for impairment and an updated full appraisal is obtained within one year from the prior appraisal date, or earlier if management deems it appropriate based on significant changes in market conditions. In instances where a property is in the process of foreclosure, an updated appraisal may be postponed beyond one year, as an appraisal is required on the date of foreclosure; however, such loans are subject to quarterly impairment analyses. Included in total impaired loans as of March 31, 2012 was $191.7   million of collateral dependent loans, of which $96.8 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and $94.9 million were measured by adjusting appraisals greater than six months old, as appropriate, to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date. Appraised values with respect to 10 loans which did not have current appraisals were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $2.7 million to reflect the change in market conditions since the appraisal date.

The Company had commitments to lend $2.6 million of additional funds on impaired loans as of March 31, 2012.

Credit Quality Information

Management monitors delinquency trends, net charge-off levels of classified loans, impaired loans and general economic conditions nationwide and in Florida in an effort to assess loan credit quality. The Company uses a risk grading matrix to monitor credit quality for commercial and small business loans. Risk grades are assigned to each commercial and small business loan upon origination. The loan officers monitor the risk grades and these risk grades are reviewed periodically by a third party consultant. The Company assigns risk grades on a scale of 1 to 13. A general description of the risk grades is as follows:

Grades 1 to 7 – The loans in these risk grades are generally well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or guarantors or by the fair value, less cost to sell, of the underlying collateral.

Grades 8 to 9 – Not used.

Grade 10 – These loans are considered to have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. While these loans do not expose the Company to immediate risk of loss, if left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan.

Grade 11 – These loans are considered to be inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or guarantors or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans in this grade have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan and there is a distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some credit loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.

Grade 12 – These loans are considered to have all the weaknesses of a Grade 11 with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of the Company’s investment in the loan highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and fair values of the collateral.

Grade 13 – These loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance on the Company’s books as an asset is not warranted. Such loans are generally charged down or completely charged off.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its consumer non-real estate loans based on loan delinquencies.

The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules, extending loan maturities, deferring loan payments until the loan maturity date and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. The majority of concessions for consumer loans were changing monthly payments from interest and principal payments to interest only payments as well as deferring monthly loan payments until the loan maturity date. Commercial real estate and non-real estate loan concessions were primarily below market interest rates based on the risk profile of the loan and extensions of maturity dates. Residential and small business loan concessions were mainly reductions of monthly payments by extending the amortization period and/or deferring monthly payments.

There was no financial statement effect of consumer and residential troubled debt restructured loans as the affected loans were generally on non-accrual status and measured for impairment before the restructuring. The financial statement effects of commercial and small business troubled debt restructured loans was the establishment of specific valuation allowances, if any, in place of the general allowance for those loans that had not already been placed on nonaccrual status. There was an impact to the allowance for loan losses as a result of the concessions made, which generally results from the expectation of slower future cash flows.

8. Related Parties

The Company, BFC and Bluegreen Corp. (“Bluegreen”) may be deemed to be under common control. The controlling shareholder of the Company and Bluegreen is BFC. Shares of BFC’s capital stock representing a majority of the voting power are owned or controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Vice Chairman, both of whom are also directors of the Company, executive officers and directors of BFC and directors of Bluegreen. The Company, BFC and Bluegreen share certain office premises and employee services, pursuant to the agreements described below.

In March 2008, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement with BFC to provide information technology support in exchange for monthly payments by BFC to BankAtlantic. In May 2008, BankAtlantic also entered into a lease agreement with BFC under which BFC pays BankAtlantic monthly rent for office space in BankAtlantic’s corporate headquarters.

The Company maintains service agreements with BFC pursuant to which BFC provides human resources, risk management and investor relations services to the Company. BFC is compensated for these services based on its cost.

During the second quarter of 2010, BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp entered into a real estate advisory service agreement with BFC for assistance relating to the work-out of loans and the sale of real estate owned. BFC is compensated $12,500 per month by each of BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp and, if BFC’s efforts result in net recoveries of any non-performing loan or the sale of real estate owned, it will receive a fee equal to 1% of the net value recovered. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of real estate advisory service fees under this agreement.

9. Segment Reporting

The information provided for Segment Reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management. Results of continuing operations are reported through two reportable segments: BankAtlantic’s Commercial Lending reporting unit (“CLRU”) and the Parent Company. CLRU’s activities consist of managing a commercial loan portfolio which includes construction, residential development, land acquisition and commercial business loans. The activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 consisted of, but were not limited to, renewing, modifying, increasing, extending, refinancing and making protective advances on commercial loans, as well as the servicing of commercial loans The Parent Company activities include the managing of non-performing loans and related real estate owned acquired from BankAtlantic.

The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment net income from continuing operations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were (in thousands):

 

     March 31,
2012
     December 31,
2011
 

Commitments to sell fixed rate residential loans

   $ 14,570         14,882   

Commitments to originate loans held for sale

     14,325         14,089   

Commitments to originate loans held to maturity

     13,127         10,383   

Commitments to extend credit, including the undisbursed portion of loans in process

     335,490         328,872   

Standby letters of credit

     5,549         6,269   

Commercial lines of credit

     63,886         51,990   

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantic’s standby letters of credit are generally issued to customers in the construction industry guaranteeing project performance. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $5.1 million at March 31, 2012. BankAtlantic also issues standby letters of credit to commercial lending customers guaranteeing the payment of goods and services. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $0.4 million at March 31, 2012. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and have maturities of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. BankAtlantic may hold certificates of deposit and residential and commercial liens as collateral for such commitments.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its bank operations, lending and tax certificates. Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters and timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict and uncertain.

Reserves are accrued for matters in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. These accrual amounts as of March 31, 2012 are not material to the Company’s financial statements. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for these claims.

A range of reasonably possible losses is estimated for matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred or that a loss is probable but not reasonably estimable. Management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses as $0.2 million to $1.4 million in excess of the accrued liability relating to these legal matters. This estimated range of reasonably possible losses represents the estimated possible losses over the life of such legal matters, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available as of March 31, 2012. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, a matter associated with tax certificates activities was settled for $1.6 million reducing the range of possible losses reported as of December 31, 2011 and the settlement amount was included in other liabilities in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

In certain matters we are unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments in the case provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.

We believe that liabilities arising from litigation and regulatory matters, discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, will not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, we may incur losses in excess of accrued amounts and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to the Company’s financial statements.

The following is a description of the ongoing litigation and regulatory matters:

Class action securities litigation

In October 2007, the Company and current or former officers of the Company were named in a lawsuit which alleged that during the period of November 9, 2005 through October 25, 2007, the Company and the named officers knowingly and/or recklessly made misrepresentations of material fact regarding BankAtlantic and specifically BankAtlantic’s loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses. The Complaint asserted claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and sought unspecified damages. On November 18, 2010, a jury returned a verdict awarding $2.41 per share to shareholders who purchased shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the period of April 26, 2007 to October 26, 2007 who retained those shares until the end of the period. The jury rejected the plaintiffs’ claim for the six month period from October 19, 2006 to April 25, 2007. Prior to the beginning of the trial, the plaintiffs abandoned any claim for any prior period. On April 25, 2011, the Court granted defendants’ post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law and vacated the jury verdict, resulting in a judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims. The plaintiffs have appealed the Court’s order setting aside the jury verdict with respect to certain of the defendants, which is pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

Class Action Overdraft Processing Litigation

In November 2010, the two pending class action complaints against BankAtlantic associated with overdraft fees were consolidated. The Complaint, which asserts claims for breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, alleges that BankAtlantic improperly re-sequenced debit card transactions from largest to smallest, improperly assessed overdraft fees on positive balances, and improperly imposed sustained overdraft fees on customers. BankAtlantic has filed a motion to dismiss, which is pending with the Court.

Office of Thrift Supervision Overdraft Processing Examination

As previously disclosed, the Office of Thrift Supervision advised BankAtlantic that it had determined that BankAtlantic had engaged in deceptive and unfair practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act relating to certain of BankAtlantic’s deposit-related products. BankAtlantic filed an appeal of the OTS position. As a result of the integration of the OTS and the OCC, the appeal was reviewed by the OCC and on February 27, 2012 the OCC concurred with the OTS determination that certain of BankAtlantic’s practices were deceptive in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act, but found that those practices were not unfair under Section 5. Based on such findings, management does not believe any monetary fines or restitution will be imposed.

Securities and Exchange Commission Complaint

On January 18, 2012, the SEC brought an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against BankAtlantic Bancorp and Alan B. Levan, BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, alleging that they violated securities laws by not timely disclosing known adverse trends in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s commercial real estate loans, selectively disclosing problem loans and engaging in improper accounting treatment of certain specific loans which may have resulted in a material understatement of its net loss in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Further, the complaint alleges that Mr. Alan B. Levan intentionally misled investors in related earnings calls. The SEC is seeking a finding by the court of violations of securities laws, a permanent injunction barring future violations, civil money penalties and, in the case of Mr. Alan B. Levan, an order barring him from serving as an officer or director of a public company. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss, which is pending before the Court. BankAtlantic Bancorp believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.

Bancorp Shareholders Lawsuit Seeking to Block the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T under the Agreement

On April 5, 2012, J.Phillip Max filed a class action complaint in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida against Alan Levan, Jarett Levan, John Abdo, Steven Coldren, D. Keith Cobb, Charles C. Winningham III, Bruno Di Giulian, Willis Holcombe, David Lieberman, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., BFC Financial Corporation, and BB&T Corporation. The complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care, good faith and loyalty by causing or permitting BankAtlantic Bancorp to sell substantially all of its assets to BB&T. The complaint further alleges that Bancorp, BFC and BB&T aided and abetted these breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint seeks declaratory and equitable relief, including an injunction against the proposed transaction between BankAtlantic Bancorp and BB&T, as well as seeking damages. BankAtlantic Bancorp believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

Update Number 2011-12 – Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. In this update, the FASB deferred only changes in ASU 2011-5 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. The deferral allows the FASB to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements of ASU 2011-5 are not affected by this deferral.

Update Number 2011-11 – Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendment requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial condition and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This amendment includes derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. This accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company believes that this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Update Number 2011-10 – Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of In-substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. Generally, when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in-substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance of Topic 360 to determine whether it should derecognize the in-substance real estate. The reporting entity would continue to include the real estate and debt on its financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. This accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after June 15, 2012. The Company believes that this update will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Update Number 2011-08 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This accounting standard update allows entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under this option, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed beginning January 1, 2012. This update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Update Number 2011-05 – Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update makes available the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The update did not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. However, the update eliminated the presentation of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This update is effective for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2011, and must be applied retrospectively. The Company implemented this update as of January 1, 2012 except for the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements which was deferred in Update Number 2011-12. Pursuant to the implementation of this update, The Company changed its presentation of comprehensive income from the presentation of comprehensive income as part of its Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity to presenting comprehensive income in a separate statement. The implementation of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Update Number 2011-4 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This guidance clarifies the FASB’s intent regarding the highest and best use valuation premise and also provides guidance on measuring the fair value of an instrument classified

in shareholders’ equity, the treatment of premiums and discounts in fair value measurements and measuring fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio. This standard also expands the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements, including a requirement to disclose valuation processes and sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value measurement is required to be disclosed. The effective date of this update is for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. The Company implemented this disclosure update as of January 1, 2012 and the implementation of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, which may also be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The principal assets of BankAtlantic Bancorp consist of its ownership in BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and its subsidiaries (“BankAtlantic”). On November 1, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp entered into a definition agreement to sell BankAtlantic to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”), which agreement was amended on March 13, 2012, (“Agreement”). Based on the probable sale of BankAtlantic, the financial statements reflect BankAtlantic’s Community Banking, Investments, Tax Certificates and Capital Services reporting units as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company expects to continue commercial lending activities subsequent to the transaction resulting in the inclusion of BankAtlantic’s Commercial Lending reporting unit (“CLRU”) in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. See Note 1 – “Basis of Financial Statement Presentation” to the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the presentation of the Company’s results of operations and Note 2 – “Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale “ to the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the presentation of assets and liabilities in the Company’s Statement of Condition.

In addition to the risks and factors identified above, reference is also made to other risks and factors detailed in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for uncertain tax positions, accounting for contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The two accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are allowance for loan losses and impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see “Critical Accounting Policies” appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to the Same 2011 Period:

CLRU’s improved performance during the 2012 quarter compared to the same 2011 quarter was primarily the result of a decrease in the provision for loan losses and lower operating expenses partially offset by a decline in net interest income and higher impairments on real estate owned.

The decrease in the provision for loan losses primarily reflects a slowing in the amount of commercial loans migrating to a delinquency or non-accrual status compared to prior periods resulting in improved loss experience during 2012 compared to 2011 with corresponding declines in the allowance for loan losses. The decrease in operating expenses reflects lower compensation and occupancy expenses. The decline in employee compensation resulted primarily from a reduction in commercial lending personnel associated with the decision to significantly limit commercial loan originations and purchases. The lower occupancy expense reflects the consolidation of back-office facilities. The lower net interest income resulted primarily from a significant reduction in commercial loan average balances and secondarily from lower average loan yields. The lower average balances reflect the significant reduction in commercial real estate loan originations and purchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, BBX recognized real estate owned impairments of $1.7 million compared to a recovery of $0.2 million during the same 2011 period.

The increase in the Parent Company’s loss for the 2012 quarter compared to the same 2011 quarter resulted primarily from a $4.6 million increase in professional fees due to TruPs related litigation in Delaware associated with the BB&T transaction, which includes an estimate of reimbursements to trustees for their legal and related expenses in that litigation. Also contributing to the increase in the Parent Company’s loss was a $0.3 million increase in junior subordinated debenture interest expense due to higher average debenture balances as a result of the Parent Company’s election to defer the payment of interest on the debentures.

The reduced loss in discontinued operations during 2012 compared to 2011 primarily resulted from a decline in the provision for loan losses and lower non-interest expenses partially offset by a decline in net interest income and other non-interest income.

The improvement in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from a significant decline in the provision for residential loan losses reflecting an improved loss experience during 2012 compared to 2011. The decrease in operating expenses reflects lower compensation and occupancy expenses associated with the consolidation of back-office facilities, workforce reductions, normal attrition and elimination of expenses associated with BankAtlantic’s Tampa operations as a result of the completion of the Tampa branch sale on June 3, 2011. The lower net interest income in 2012 resulted primarily from a significant reduction in earning assets and an increasing proportion of investments in low yielding cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. The reduction in non-interest income primarily reflects the sale of the Tampa branches and lower overdraft fees recognized during 2012 compared to 2011. We believe that the decline in the overdraft fees reflects higher customer balances, regulatory initiatives and changes in our overdraft policies, as well as changes in customer behavior.

Interest Income

The average balance and average yield of CLRU’s commercial loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $783.6 million and 4.17%, respectively, compared to $1.0 billion and 4.66%, respectively, during the same 2011 period. The reduction in average balances reflects loan repayments, migration of loans to real estate owned and loan sales as well as a substantial decline in loan originations. The lower yields reflect the repayment of loans with higher yields than the existing loan portfolio and a greater percentage of loans on non-accrual during 2012 compared to 2011.

Asset Quality

The loans and real estate owned presented below as of March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 excludes loans and real estate owned to be transferred to BB&T under the terms of the Agreement as these loans are included in assets held for sale.

The table below presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) by various loan classifications, the percent of allowance to each loan category (“ALL to gross loans percent”) and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans (“Loans to gross loans percent”). The allowance shown in the table should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in these amounts or percentages or that the allowance accurately reflects future charge-off amounts or trends (dollars in thousands):

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 resulted primarily from the transferring of loans to assets held for sale and the charge-off of specific valuation allowances on collateral dependent loans. In connection with the proposed transaction with BB&T, BankAtlantic transferred $1.9 billion of loans and $48.6 million of allowance for loan losses to assets held for sale. The reduction in allowance for loan losses to gross

loans in each category reflects the charge-off of $65.7 million of the specific valuation allowances and the fact that a higher percent of the loans which were not transferred to assets held for sale (because they will be retained after the BB&T transaction) are non-performing and/or collateral dependent. An allowance for loan losses was not established for those collateral dependent loans as these loans were instead charged-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.

As part of the transition of the regulation of OTS savings associations to the OCC, the OCC provided guidance to thrifts related to their transition to OCC regulatory reporting, which was to be implemented no later than March 31, 2012, including guidance surrounding specific valuation allowances on collateral dependent loans. Under OCC guidance where the appraised value of collateral on a collateral dependent loan is less than the recorded investment of the loan, a charge-off of the amount of the deficiency rather than a specific valuation allowance is now generally required. Management considered the appraisals on its impaired collateral dependent loans, including appraised values and appraisal dates, and during the first quarter of 2012, the Company charged down the recorded investment of loans by $66.5 million to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell. This charge down consisted entirely of the charging-off of existing specific valuation allowances. As a specific valuation allowance was previously established for these loans, the charge-offs did not impact the provision for loan losses or the net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2012, but did reduce the Company’s allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in the loans. Further, these charge-offs of specific valuation allowances did not impact the estimation of the allowance for loan losses as the change in the specific valuation allowances was always a factor in the overall estimation of BankAtlantic’s allowance for loan losses.

The activity in CLRU’s allowance for loan losses was as follows (in thousands):

Commercial real estate loan charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2012 included $46.7 million of charge-offs related to previously established specific valuation allowances as discussed above. Excluding these specific valuation allowance charge-offs, commercial real estate charge-offs declined from $12.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $4.0 million for the same 2012 period. The $4.0 million commercial real estate loan charge-offs during the 2012 quarter also related to the charge-off of specific valuation allowances upon the transfer of $16.3 million of commercial residential loans to held for sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, commercial real estate loan charge-offs consisted of $4.0 million of charge-offs related to four commercial residential loans, $6.8 million of charge-offs related to one commercial land loan and $0.5 million of charge-offs related to commercial other loans. These charge-offs were primarily due to lower updated property valuations.

Commercial non-real estate charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2012 included $12.5 million of charge-offs related to previously established specific valuation allowances. The remaining $2.1 million of charge-offs during 2012 related to one asset backed lending relationship. The commercial non-real estate loan charge-off during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was related to one business loan in the real estate brokerage industry.

The recovery in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 reflects declining commercial real estate loan balances, improved historical loss experience during 2012 compared to 2011, and a decline in loans migrating to non-accrual status. The recovery in the commercial real estate provision for loan losses was partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses on commercial non-real estate loans associated with the charge-off of a $2.1 million asset backed loan.

Pursuant to the Agreement with BB&T, commercial loans with a recorded investment of $378.2 million as of March 31, 2012 are anticipated to be transferred to BB&T in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic. The allowance for loan losses associated with these commercial loans as of March 31, 2012, which were included in the above table was $11.1 million.

At the indicated dates, CLRU’s non-performing assets, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing, performing impaired loans and troubled debt restructured loans as of March 31, 2012 and BankAtlantic’s non-performing assets, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing, performing impaired loans and troubled debt restructured loans as of December 31, 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

The decline in non-performing assets at March 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 reflects the charge-off of $66.5 million of collateral dependent loans, the migration of $12.5 million of loans to real estate owned and the payoff of a $12.3 million commercial residential loan.

The decline in commercial real estate non-accrual loans resulted primarily from $46.7 million of loan charge-offs associated with previously established specific valuation allowances and the payoff of a $12.3 million commercial residential loan partially offset by a $11.3 million commercial residential loan transferred to nonaccrual.

The decline in commercial non-real estate non-accrual loans reflects $12.5 million of charge-offs associated with previously established specific valuation allowances and the charge-off of a $2.1 million asset based loan.

The decline in residential non-accrual loans resulted primarily from loan repayments through borrower short sales and $6.9 million of charge-offs associated with previously established specific valuation allowance and charge-offs.

The decline in consumer non-accrual loans reflects $1.1 million of charge-offs associated with previously established specific valuation allowances and charge-offs.

The decline in small business non-accrual loans reflects loan payoffs and the transfer of loans to real estate owned.

The lower repossessed assets balances resulted primarily from the sale of residential real estate owned. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, $8.8 million of loans migrated to real estate owned, $1.4 million of impairments were recognized and $10.3 million of real estate owned properties were sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, $6.8 million of loans migrated to real estate owned and $4.4 million of real estate owned properties were sold. As non-accrual loans migrate into repossessed assets in the future, we expect repossessed assets as well as sales of real estate owned to increase.

In response to current market conditions, management generally decides, on a case-by-case basis, whether to modify loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties and has modified the terms of certain commercial, small business, residential and consumer home equity loans. The concessions made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties have generally included among others, the reduction of contractual interest rates and, in some cases, forgiveness of a portion of loan principal upon satisfactory performance under the modified terms, conversion of amortizing loans to interest only payments or the deferral of some interest payments until the maturity date of the loan. Loans that are not delinquent at the date of modification are generally not placed on non-accrual. Modified non-accrual loans are generally not returned to an accruing status and the days past due are not reset on delinquent modified loans until the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance under the modified terms, which is generally performance over a six month period.

CLRU Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $70,000 and $1,000, respectively. The non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of the retention of a non-refundable deposit associated with a contract to sell a real estate owned property and a $3,000 gain on the sale of a loan. The $1,000 of other income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of miscellaneous income from a joint venture that factors receivables. The joint venture ceased operations during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Accounting rules require that BankAtlantic’s general corporate overhead be included in its entirety in non-interest expense as presented for CLRU for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Upon consummation of the BB&T transaction, management anticipates that BBX’s cost structure will significantly change resulting in a substantial reduction in non-interest expenses in periods subsequent to the sale of BankAtlantic.

The decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same 2011 period resulted primarily from workforce reductions. BankAtlantic reduced its commercial lending workforce, consisting primarily of lending officers, through normal attrition as commercial loan originations and purchases during 2011 and the first three months of 2012 were significantly reduced from historical levels. The majority of employee compensation and benefits reflects general corporate overhead.

Occupancy and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily reflects costs associated with the operation of back office facilities including the corporate headquarters. The lower Occupancy and equipment expenses during the 2012 period compared to the same 2011 period reflects lower rent and depreciation expense primarily due to consolidation of back-office facilities.

The decrease in professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same 2011 period reflects $0.4 million of legal costs associated with a commercial loan foreclosure involving a land lease during the three months ended March 31, 2011 partially offset by higher general loan foreclosure expenses during the 2012 period compared to the same 2011 three month period.

The impairment (reversals) of loans held for sale represents lower of cost or market adjustments on loans classified as held for sale. The impairment or reversals resulted primarily from property values obtained from updated valuations of the underlying loan collateral.

Impairment of real estate owned during the three months ended March 31, 2012 reflects lower of cost or fair value less cost of sale adjustments on real estate owned. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, valuation allowances were established on six properties due to updated property valuations. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, a valuation allowance was reversed associated with the sale of a real estate owned property.

Other non-interest expenses consisted of the following:

The Parent Company interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represents interest income on two performing loans. During 2012, the Parent Company recognized $134,000 of additional interest income on one of the performing loans associated with the deferral of monthly payments during prior periods as the borrowers’ cash flow improved.

Interest and dividend income on taxable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 represents dividends from an equity investment. The Parent Company ceased receiving dividends from the equity investment during the second quarter of 2011.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represents interest expense recognized on the Parent Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The increase in interest expense during 2012 compared to 2011 reflects higher average balances on junior subordinated debentures resulting from the deferral of interest. The average balance on junior subordinated debentures increased from $323 million during 2011 to $337.8 million during 2012. Average interest rates on junior subordinated debentures were 4.75% during 2011 compared to 4.93% during the 2012 period.

Income from unconsolidated trusts during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represents equity earnings from trusts formed to issue trust preferred securities.

Other non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 included a loss of $99,000 from the sale of $1.7 million of loans held for sale. The Parent Company did not sell loans during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Also included in other non-interest income during each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.3 million of income from BankAtlantic for executive management services. These fees were eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The substantial increase in professional fees during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same 2011 quarter represents litigation costs from the TruPs related litigation in Delaware associated with the BB&T transaction, which includes an estimate of reimbursements to trustees for their legal fees and related expenses in that litigation.

The decrease in other non-interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same 2011 quarter related primarily to impairments of $1.9 million of real estate owned and $0.4 million of loans held for sale during the 2011 period. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Parent Company had $0.4 million of real estate owned impairments and no loan impairments. The remaining other non-interest expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represent net real estate owned operating expenses as well as gains and losses from the sale of real estate owned.

The loans that comprise the above relationships are all collateral dependent. As such, the Parent Company measures these loans based on the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral was determined using unadjusted third party appraisals for all relationships. Management performs quarterly impairment analyses on these credit relationships subsequent to the date of the appraisal and may reduce appraised values if market conditions significantly deteriorate subsequent to the appraisal date. However, our policy is to obtain a full appraisal within one year from the date of the prior appraisal, unless the loan is in the process of foreclosure.

The provision for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 reflects the charge-off of a $0.9 million commercial non-real estate loan and the related charge-off of the specific valuation allowances established on this non-real estate loans during prior periods. The $0.2 million recovery relates to the foreclosure of a commercial land loan for which the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell exceeded the recorded investment in the loan.

The $4,000 recovery during the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects funds received on loans previously charged-off.

The Company’s total assets increased as of March 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of deposit growth with excess funds invested in cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. Deposit balances increased by $177.4 million and total assets increased by $168.8 million. Cash and interest bearing deposits in other banks increased by $338.9 million. The remaining cash increase resulted primarily from a higher percentage of proceeds from the normal repayments of earning assets not being reinvested in earning assets as BankAtlantic significantly reduced loan purchases and originations, acquisition of tax certificates and acquisitions of securities available for sale.

Total assets at March 31, 2012 were $3.8 billion compared to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2011. The changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 are summarized below:

 

   

Increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks reflecting higher cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank primarily resulting from deposit growth and repayments of loans and securities available for sale;

 

   

Decrease in securities available for sale reflecting the reclassification of $40.5 million of securities available for sale to assets held for sale as well as normal repayments;

 

   

Decrease in tax certificate balances reflecting the reclassification of $29.9 million of tax certificates to assets held for sale as well as normal redemptions;

 

   

Increase in loans held for sale primarily resulting from the transfer of a $15.1 million commercial loan to loans held for sale;

 

   

Reduction in loans receivable, net reflecting the reclassification of $1.9 billion of loans to assets held for sale as well as $12.3 million of loans migrating to real estate owned and the repayments of loans in the ordinary course of business;

 

   

Decrease in accrued interest receivable resulting primarily from the reclassification of $12.8 million of accrued interest receivable into assets held for sale and from lower earning asset balances;

 

   

Decrease in real estate owned primarily resulting from residential and commercial real estate sales;

The Company's total liabilities at March 31, 2012 were $3.9 billion compared to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2011. The changes in components of total liabilities from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 are summarized below:

 

   

Increase in junior subordinated debentures liability due to interest deferrals;

 

   

Subordinated debentures of $22 million were reclassified to liabilities held for sale;

Liquidity and Capital Resources

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.

Currently, BankAtlantic Bancorp’s principal source of liquidity is its cash holdings and funds obtained from its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary, but it expects to generate additional cash and liquidity in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T. BankAtlantic Bancorp also may obtain funds through dividends from BankAtlantic, although none are anticipated or contemplated for the foreseeable future and BankAtlantic Bancorp is prohibited by the terms of the Company Order from issuing debt securities without receiving a prior non-objection from the Federal Reserve. BankAtlantic Bancorp has historically used its funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, and fund operations, including funding servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses of its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. The cash flows included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows will not be the primary sources of cash flows after consummation of the transaction with BB&T. If the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, BankAtlantic Bancorp anticipates its principal source of liquidity to be the net cash proceeds to be received by BankAtlantic Bancorp upon closing of the transaction and thereafter to be the cash flows from the loans and real estate and other assets in BBX Capital Asset Management, LLC, which will be wholly-owned by BankAtlantic Bancorp, and distributions from its 5% preferred interest and 100% residual interest in the net cash flows from Florida Asset Resolution Group, LLC. BankAtlantic Bancorp also may obtain funds through the issuance of equity and debt securities. BankAtlantic Bancorp anticipates utilizing these funds for general corporate purposes including employee compensation and benefits, servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses. At March 31, 2012, the Parent Company had approximately $341.1 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding with maturities ranging from 2032 through 2037. The aggregate annual interest obligations on this indebtedness totaled approximately $16.1 million based on interest rates at March 31, 2012, which are generally indexed to three-month LIBOR. In order to preserve liquidity, BankAtlantic Bancorp elected in February 2009 to commence deferring interest payments on all of its outstanding junior subordinated debentures and to cease paying cash dividends on its common stock. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures and the trust documents allow BankAtlantic Bancorp to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period, the respective trusts have suspended the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities. The deferral election began as of March 2009, and regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments aggregating $46.9 million that would otherwise have been paid during the 39 months ended March 31, 2012 were deferred. BankAtlantic Bancorp has the ability under the junior subordinated debentures to continue to defer interest payments for up to another 7 consecutive quarterly periods through ongoing appropriate notices to each of the trustees, and will make a decision each quarter as to whether to continue the deferral of interest. During the deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the junior subordinated debentures at the stated coupon rate, including on the deferred interest, and BankAtlantic Bancorp will continue to record the interest expense associated with the junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period, BankAtlantic Bancorp may not, among other things and with limited exceptions, pay cash dividends on or repurchase its common stock nor make any payment on outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the junior subordinated debentures. BankAtlantic Bancorp may end the deferral period by paying all accrued and unpaid interest. If BankAtlantic Bancorp were to continue to defer interest on its junior subordinated debentures through the year ended December 31, 2013, it would owe an aggregate of approximately $76 million of unpaid interest based on average interest rates as of March 31, 2012. The Company believes that its financial condition would be

adversely affected if interest payments continue to be deferred. Under the Agreement, BB&T will assume BankAtlantic Bancorp’s obligations under the junior subordinated debentures upon closing of the BB&T transaction; however, BankAtlantic Bancorp will be required to pay the deferred interest through closing in connection with the consummation of the transaction.

BankAtlantic Bancorp has not received dividends from BankAtlantic since the year ended December 31, 2008. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to BankAtlantic Bancorp in subsequent periods is subject to regulatory approval as provided in the Bank Order. BankAtlantic Bancorp may receive dividends from its asset work-out subsidiary upon the monetizing of the subsidiaries’ non-performing loans and real estate owned. However, BankAtlantic Bancorp and its workout subsidiary may not be able to monetize the loans or real estate owned on acceptable terms, if at all.

In February 2010, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering to offer, from time to time, up to $75 million of Class A Common Stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, warrants or debt securities. A description of the securities offered and the expected use of the net proceeds from any sales will be outlined in a prospectus supplement if and when offered. After the completion of rights offerings in 2011 and 2010, $43.7 million of securities remain available for future issuance under this registration statement.

BankAtlantic Bancorp is generally required to provide BankAtlantic with managerial assistance and capital. Any financing needed to provide BankAtlantic with capital could be sought through public or private offerings, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any financing involving the issuance of our Class A Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable for our Class A Common Stock could be highly dilutive for our existing shareholders. Such financing may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

BankAtlantic Bancorp has the following cash and investments that it believes provide a source for potential liquidity at March 31, 2012.

BankAtlantic Bancorp had $6.9 million of current liabilities as of March 31, 2012. The non-performing loans transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp may also provide a potential source of liquidity through workouts, repayments of the loans or sales of interests in the subsidiary. The balance of these loans and real estate owned at March 31, 2012 was $16.1 million. The majority of the current liabilities were TruPs related litigation costs anticipated to be paid in connection with consummation of the transaction with BB&T. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Parent Company received net cash flows of $2.6 million from its work-out subsidiary.

BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources

BankAtlantic’s primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans, tax certificates and securities available for sale; proceeds from the sale of loans, securities available for sale and real estate owned; interest payments on loans and securities; capital contributions from BankAtlantic Bancorp and other funds generated by operations. These funds are primarily utilized to fund loan disbursements and purchases, deposit outflows, repayments of borrowings, purchases of tax certificates and securities available for sale, acquisitions of properties and equipment, and operating expenses. BankAtlantic’s liquidity currently depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. BankAtlantic’s securities portfolio provides an internal source of liquidity through its short-term investments as well as scheduled maturities and interest payments. Loan repayments and loan sales also provide an internal source of liquidity. BankAtlantic maintained excess cash balances during the three months ended March 31, 2012 in order to improve liquidity and in anticipation of the closing of the BB&T transaction.

BankAtlantic’s liquidity is also dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and availability under its lines of credit with the FHLB and Federal Reserve lending programs. BankAtlantic’s ability to increase or maintain deposits is impacted by competition from other financial institutions and alternative investments as well as the current low interest rate environment. Such competition, an increase in interest rates or an increase in liquidity needs, may require BankAtlantic to offer higher interest rates to maintain deposits, which may not be successful in generating deposits, and which would increase its cost of funds or reduce its net interest income. BankAtlantic is restricted by the Bank Order from offering interest rates on its deposits which are significantly higher than market area rates.

BankAtlantic’s unused lines of credit decreased from $585 million as of December 31, 2011 to $578 million as of March 31, 2012 due to lower collateral balances. The FHLB has granted BankAtlantic a line of credit capped at 20% of assets subject to available collateral, with a maximum term of ten years. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantic’s residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate and consumer home equity loans. BankAtlantic utilized its FHLB line of credit to obtain a $58.1 million letter of credit used primarily to secure public deposits as of March 31, 2012. There were no FHLB borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2012. BankAtlantic’s unused available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $543 million at March 31, 2012. Additionally, BankAtlantic had total cash on hand with other financial institutions of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2012.

An additional source of liquidity for BankAtlantic is its securities portfolio. As of March 31, 2012, BankAtlantic had $7 million of unpledged securities that could be sold or pledged for additional borrowings with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve or other financial institutions. BankAtlantic is also eligible to participate in the Federal Reserve’s discount window program under its secondary credit program. The amount that can be borrowed under this program is dependent on the delivery of collateral to the Federal Reserve, and BankAtlantic had unused available borrowings of approximately $28 million, with no amounts outstanding under this program, at March 31, 2012. We are not permitted to incur day-light overdrafts in our Federal Reserve bank account and accordingly, our intent is to continue to maintain sufficient funds at the Federal Reserve to support intraday activity. BankAtlantic’s current lines of credit may not be available when needed as these lines of credit are subject to periodic review and may be terminated or reduced at the discretion of the issuing institutions or reduced based on availability of qualifying collateral. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, deterioration in BankAtlantic’s financial condition, litigation or regulatory action may make borrowings unavailable or make terms of the borrowings and deposits less favorable. There is a risk that our cost of funds will increase and that the borrowing capacity from funding sources may decrease, and any of these factors could have material adverse effect on BankAtlantic’s liquidity.

Included in deposits at March 31, 2012 was $0.8 million in brokered deposits. BankAtlantic is currently restricted from acquiring additional brokered deposits or renewing its existing brokered deposits, and the brokered deposits were repaid in April 2012.

BankAtlantic’s liquidity may be affected by unforeseen demands on cash. Our objective in managing liquidity is to maintain sufficient resources of available liquid assets to address our funding needs. Multiple market disruptions and regulatory actions may make it more difficult for us and for financial institutions in general to borrow money. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty how long any of these adverse market conditions might continue, nor can we anticipate the degree to which such market conditions may impact our operations. Deterioration in the performance of other financial institutions may adversely impact the ability of all financial institutions to access liquidity. Further deterioration in the financial markets or adverse regulatory actions may further impact us or result in additional market-wide liquidity problems, and affect our liquidity position. We believe BankAtlantic has improved its liquidity position by paying down borrowings, reducing assets and significantly increasing its cash reserves.

Pursuant to the Bank Order, BankAtlantic was required to attain by June 30, 2011 and maintain a tier 1/core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 14%. BankAtlantic has maintained its regulatory capital ratios at levels that exceeded prompt corrective action “well capitalized” requirements and from June 30, 2011 until March 31, 2012, had maintained its regulatory capital ratios at levels that exceed the Bank Order required capital levels. BankAtlantic’s core capital ratio fell below the Bank Order capital requirement of 8.00% due to the increase in assets from deposit growth. The proceeds received from the deposit growth enhanced BankAtlantic’s liquidity as the funds were invested in cash at the Federal Reserve Bank. In the event the BB&T transaction is not consummated, BankAtlantic may seek to reduce deposit and asset balances in order to improve its capital ratios to meet the core capital requirements in the Bank Order. Additionally, BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic may seek to maintain the higher capital requirements through efforts that may include the issuance by BankAtlantic Bancorp of its Class A Common Stock through a public or private offering, the sale of branches and the reduction in assets, although asset sales and reductions may make it more difficult to achieve profitability. The Company may not be successful in raising additional capital or executing plans to attain and maintain BankAtlantic’s higher regulatory capital ratios in subsequent periods. The inability to raise capital or otherwise meet regulatory requirements could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The discussion contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, under Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” provides quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Company’s primary market risk, which is interest rate risk.

The majority of BankAtlantic’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, the earnings and growth of BankAtlantic are significantly affected by interest rates, which are subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The nature and timing of any changes in such policies or general economic conditions and their effect on BankAtlantic are unpredictable. Changes in interest rates can impact BankAtlantic’s net interest income as well as the valuation of its assets and liabilities. BankAtlantic’s interest rate risk position did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
