Year-Over-Year Net Income Growth(b) -5.2% 34.4% 87.4%
Notes:
(a) As a holding company with control positions in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt Corporation, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require the consolidation of the financial results of both BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt Corporation. As a consequence, the assets and liabilities of both entities are presented on a consolidated basis in BFC’s financial statements. However, the debts and obligations of the consolidated entities are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent a dividend or distribution from the entity. The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the percentage of its economic ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt Corporation, which is 22.1% and 16.6%, respectively, which results in BFC recognizing only 22.1% and 16.6% of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and Levitt Corporation’s income, respectively.

(d) The deferred tax liability is net of net operating loss carry forwards (NOL’s). Deferred tax liability is calculated by subtracting BFC’s original investment from the current carrying value of that investment and applying to that sum the tax rate of 38.75%. Generally, the deferred tax liability will not be required to be paid unless the underlying investments are sold.
