TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ex-99.1: Investor presentation materials

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

     BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing presentation materials included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report pursuant to Item 7.01 Form 8-K. The presentation materials were prepared to be included in presentations with investors during the second quarter of 2006. The Company is not undertaking to update this presentation. The information in this report (including Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein (including Exhibit 99.1). The presentation also contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures, which it defines as “operating” measures, in their analysis of the Company’s performance. These “operating” measures adjust GAAP net income to exclude the reserve for fines and penalties related to a compliance matter, impairment charge related to the Company’s former headquarters, and costs and gains associated with debt redemptions. The “operating” measures also adjust BankAtlantic’s GAAP net interest margin to exclude interest income and interest expense associated with loan participations sold that are accounted for as secured borrowings. The Company believes that these non-GAAP operating measures supplement our GAAP financial information and provide useful measures of evaluating the Company’s operating results and any related trends that may be affecting the Company’s business. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
