On October 30, 2013, Renin, which is owned 81% by the Company and 19% by BFC, was formed by the Company and BFC to complete the Renin Transaction. Bluegreen funded approximately $9.4 million of the Renin Transaction consideration in the form of a loan and revolver facility and the remaining funds necessary to complete the Renin Transaction were funded by BBX Capital and BFC pro rata in accordance with their percentage equity interests in Renin. Renin recognized $91,000 and $307,000 of interest expense under the Bluegreen loan for the three months and six months ended June  30, 2014, respectively.

 

As disclosed in Note 2, on April 2, 2013, the Company invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. The investment was made in connection with Woodbridge’s acquisition of the publicly held shares of Bluegreen. BFC holds the remaining 54% of Woodbridge.  The Company contributed $60 million in cash and issued to Woodbridge an $11.75 million note payable in connection with the Company’s acquisition of its 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.  During each of the three month periods ended June  30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $147,000 of interest expense in connection with the Woodbridge note payable. During each of the six month periods ended June  30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $294,000 of interest expense in connection with the Woodbridge note payable.     The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the repayment in full of the $11.75 million Woodbridge note payable in connection with settlement of the Bluegreen shareholder litigation by Woodbridge.

 

On May 8, 2015, BFC, BBX, Woodbridge, Bluegreen and their respective subsidiaries entered into an “Agreement to Allocate Consolidated Income Tax Liability and Benefits” pursuant to which, among other customary terms and conditions, the parties agreed to file consolidated federal tax returns. The parties will calculate their respective income tax liabilities and attributes as if each of them were a separate filer.  If any tax attributes are used by another party to the agreement to offset its tax liability, the party providing the benefit will receive an amount for the tax benefits realized.

 

The Company will be included in BFC’s consolidated federal tax return; however, income taxes will continue to be recognized by the Company on a separate return basis and any taxable income or loss will be settled with BFC under the tax allocation agreement discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph. The computation of taxable income or refunds, including the effects of AMT, would be exactly the same as if the Company was filing its federal tax return with the IRS.  As such, the Company will only consider its operations as sources of taxable income in determining the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets.  As a consequence, the Company will continue to maintain a full deferred tax valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets.
