ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General Description of Business

     We are a homebuilding and real estate development company with activities throughout the Southeastern United States. We were organized in December 1982 under the laws of the State of Florida.

     Our principal real estate activities are conducted through our Homebuilding and Land Divisions. Our Homebuilding Division consists of the operations of Levitt and Sons, LLC (“Levitt and Sons”), our wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiary, which primarily develops single and multi-family homes. In our single-family home communities, we specialize in serving active adults and families. The standard base price for the homes we sell varies by geography and is between $110,000 and $650,000. For 2006, the average closing price of the homes we delivered was $302,000. Our Land Division consists of the operations of Core Communities, LLC (“Core Communities”), our wholly-owned master-planned community development subsidiary. In our master-planned communities, we generate revenue from developing, marketing and selling large acreage and raw and finished lots to third-party residential, commercial and industrial developers and internally developing certain commercial projects for leasing. We also sell land to our Homebuilding Division, which develops both active adult and family communities in our master-planned communities. We are also engaged in commercial real estate activities through our wholly owned subsidiary, Levitt Commercial, LLC (“Levitt Commercial”), and we invest in other real estate projects through subsidiaries and various joint ventures. In addition, we own approximately 31% of the outstanding common stock of Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”, NYSE: BXG), which acquires, develops, markets and sells vacation ownership interests in “drive-to” vacation resorts as well as residential home sites around golf courses or other amenities.

     Levitt and Sons is primarily a real estate developer of single and multi-family home and

townhome communities specializing in both active adult and family communities in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. Levitt and Sons and its predecessors have built more than 200,000 homes since 1929. It has strong brand awareness as America’s oldest homebuilder and is recognized nationally for having built the Levittown communities in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We acquired Levitt and Sons in December 1999. Levitt and Sons includes the operations of Bowden Building Corporation, a builder of single family homes based in Tennessee, which was acquired in April 2004. In the second quarter of 2006 we conducted an impairment review due to profitability and cash flows in Tennessee declining to a point where the carrying value of the assets exceeded their market value. As a result of this review, the $1.3 million of goodwill recorded in connection with the Bowden acquisition was fully written off in 2006 due to the carrying value of the assets exceeding their current market value.

     Core Communities develops master-planned communities and is currently developing Tradition™, Florida, which is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida and Tradition, South Carolina, which is located in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Our original community is St. Lucie West. Substantially completed in 2006, it is a 4,600 acre community located in Port St. Lucie, Florida consisting of approximately 6,000 built and occupied homes, numerous businesses, a university campus and the New York Mets’ spring training facility. Our second master-planned community, Tradition, Florida also located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, encompasses more than 8,200 total acres, including approximately five miles of frontage on Interstate 95 and will have approximately 18,000 residential units and 8.5 million square feet of commercial space. Our Tradition, South Carolina development consists of approximately 5,400 acres, and is currently entitled for up to 9,500 residential units, with 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, in addition to recreational areas, educational facilities and emergency services. Land sales commenced in Tradition, South Carolina in the fourth quarter 2006.

Recent Developments

Merger Agreement with BFC

     On January 31, 2007, we announced that we had entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC Financial Corporation, a Florida corporation (“BFC”) which owns shares representing approximately 17% of our total equity and 53% of our total voting power, pursuant to which we would, upon consummation of the merger, become a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC. Under the terms of the merger agreement, holders of our Class A Common Stock (other than BFC) will be entitled to receive 2.27 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock for each share of our Class A Common Stock held by them and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of BFC Class A Common Stock that they otherwise would be entitled to receive. Further, under the terms of the merger agreement, options to purchase shares, and restricted stock awards, of our Class A Common Stock will be converted into options to purchase, and restricted stock awards, as applicable, of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock with appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange ratio. BFC Class A Common Stock is listed for trading on the NYSE Arca Stock Exchange under the symbol “BFF,” and on January 30, 2007, its closing price on such exchange was $6.35. The merger agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants on the part of us and BFC, and the consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary closing and termination conditions as well as the approval of both the Company’s and BFC’s shareholders. Further, in addition to the shareholder approvals required by Florida law, the merger will also be subject to the approval of the holders of our Class A Common Stock other than BFC and certain other shareholders. The merger is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risk that the market price of BFC Class A Common Stock as quoted on the NYSE Arca Stock Exchange might decrease during the interim period between the date of the merger agreement and the date on which the merger is completed, thereby decreasing the value of the consideration to be received by holders of our Class A Common Stock in connection with the merger, and the risk that the merger may not be completed as contemplated, or at all. The merger is currently expected to close during 2007. If the merger is completed, all of our common stock will be canceled and our Class A Common Stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. While we are optimistic that the merger will be approved, the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including shareholder approval. In the event that the merger is not approved by shareholders, or not consummated for any other reason, it is our current intention to pursue a rights offering to holders of Levitt’s Class A Common Stock.

Impairment charges

     The trends in the homebuilding industry were unfavorable in 2006. Demand has slowed significantly as evidenced by fewer new orders, lower conversion rates and higher cancellations in the markets in which we operate. Market conditions have been particularly difficult in Florida, which we believe are the result of changing homebuyer sentiment, reluctance of buyers to commit to a new home purchase because of uncertainty in their ability to sell their existing home, few homebuyers purchasing properties as investments, rising mortgage financing expenses, and an increase in both existing and new homes available for sale. In addition, higher sales prices, increases in property taxes and higher insurance rates in Florida have impacted affordability for buyers. As a result of these market conditions, we evaluated the real estate inventory reflected on our balance sheet for impairment on a project by project basis throughout 2006. Based on this assessment, we recorded $36.8 million of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2006 which are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Included in this amount are pretax charges of approximately $34.3 million of homebuilding inventory impairments and $2.5 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land under option that we do not intend to purchase.

Reduction in Force

     Based on an ongoing evaluation of costs in view of current market conditions, we reduced our headcount in February by 89 employees resulting in a $440,000 severance charge to be recorded in the first quarter of 2007. It is expected that annual cash savings from the reduction in force will be approximately $3.9 million.

Business Strategy

     Our business strategy involves the following principal goals:

     Implement initiatives to increase sales and focus on improving customer service and quality control. Currently, we sell homes throughout Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. While the trends in the homebuilding industry were unfavorable in 2006, management is focused on cost control and initiatives to improve sales. Costs are being reviewed on an ongoing basis to align spending with new orders and home closings. We are also attempting to reduce our costs from our subcontractors and contain costs by using fixed price contracts. However, we remain committed to our strategic initiatives including our focus on customer service, marketing initiatives, and improvements in quality and construction cycle time. Advertising, outside broker commissions and other marketing costs have increased as competition for buyers has intensified. Continued aggressive marketing expenditures and customer incentives are expected to continue until the market stabilizes. We believe that these initiatives will prove advantageous in the current market as well as contribute to achieving long term profitability when the market returns to normal levels of growth.

     Operate more efficiently and effectively. We have recently taken steps which we believe will improve our operating efficiencies. We are working diligently to align our staffing levels with current and anticipated future market conditions and will continue to focus on implementing expense management initiatives throughout the organization. We have hired additional experienced operating and financial professionals throughout the organization, increased accountability throughout the organization and implemented a new technology platform for all of our operating entities, excluding our Tennessee operations. We intend to continue our focus on improving our operating effectiveness in 2007 by continuing programs such as reducing our construction cycle time.

     Continue to develop master-planned communities in desirable markets for sale and leasing. The Land Division is actively developing and marketing its master-planned communities in Florida and South Carolina. In addition to sales of parcels to homebuilders, the Land Division continues to expand its commercial operations through sales to developers and through its efforts to internally develop certain projects for leasing to third parties. In 2006 we expanded our commercial development and leasing activities with the construction and development of a “Power Center” at Tradition, Florida. The Power Center is substantially leased primarily to several “big box” retailers and is expected to open in the fall of

2007. We view our commercial projects opportunistically and intend to periodically evaluate the short and long term benefits of retention or disposition. Historically, land sale revenues have been sporadic and fluctuated more dramatically than home sale revenues, but land sale transactions result in higher margins, which historically have varied between 40% and 60%. However, margins on land sales and the many factors which impact the margin may not remain at these levels given the current downturn in the real estate markets where we own properties. Our land development activities in our master-planned communities complement our homebuilding activities by offering a source of land for future homebuilding. At the same time, our homebuilding activities have complemented our master-planned community development activities since we believe the Homebuilding Division’s strong merchandising and quality developments have tended to support future land sales in our master-planned communities. Much of our master-planned community acreage is under varying development orders and is not immediately available for construction or sale to third parties at prices that maximize value. As these parcels become available for sale, our Homebuilding Division will have an opportunity to develop them. Our strategy is to review whether the allocation of the land to our Homebuilding Division maximizes both the community as a whole and our overall business goals. In December 2006 the Homebuilding Division acquired the first 150 acres in Tradition South Carolina from our Land Division and currently plans to acquire an additional 312 acres in stages through 2009. Third-party homebuilder sales remain an important part of our ongoing strategy to generate cash flow, maximize returns and diversify risk, as well as to create appropriate housing alternatives for different market segments in our master-planned communities. Therefore, we will review each parcel as it is ready for development to determine if it should be developed by the Homebuilding Division, sold to a third party, or internally developed for leasing.

     Improve our financial strength. We are focusing our efforts on improving our financial condition including enhancing our liquidity, preserving our borrowing capacity, and monitoring expenses. In addition to expense management, we are reviewing our land positions to ensure that our land portfolio is fairly valued and appropriately aligned with our expectations of future housing demand. Further, in January 2007 we announced that we entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. We believe this will provide opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet as BFC has no debt at the holding company level and we believe is better positioned to access other financial resources. We are currently reviewing and in the process of selling certain of our land inventory. We suspended additional land acquisitions in the year ended December 31, 2006 and we wrote off approximately $2.5 million of pre-acquisition costs and deposits relating to properties that we decided not to acquire. Our current inventory is expected to yield sufficient usable homesites for the next five to six years and could last longer if current absorption levels persist.

     Maintain a conservative risk profile. Our goal is to maintain a disciplined risk management approach to our business activities. Other than our model homes, the majority of our homes are pre-sold before construction begins. We generally require customer deposits of 5% to 10% of the base sales price of our homes, and we require a higher percentage deposit for design customizations and upgrades in order to minimize the risk of cancellations. We continue to seek to maintain our homebuilding land inventory at levels that can be absorbed within five to six years. Our master planned communities are long term projects with development cycles in excess of 10 years. We believe that we mitigate the risk inherent in our investments in our planned communities through careful site selection and market research in collaboration with our Homebuilding Division. We periodically sell both raw and developed parcels to our Homebuilding Division as well as other commercial and residential developers.

     Utilize community development districts to fund development costs. We establish community development districts to access tax-exempt bond financing to fund infrastructure and other projects at our master-planned community developments which is a common practice among land developers in Florida. The ultimate owners of the property within the district are responsible for amounts owed on these bonds which are funded through annual assessments. Generally, in Florida, no payments under the bonds are required from property owners during the first two years after issuance as a result of capitalized interest built into the bond proceeds. While we are responsible for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is sold, this strategy allows us to more effectively manage the cash required to fund infrastructure at the project in the short term. If the property is not sold prior to the assessment date we will be required to pay the full amount of the annual assessment on the property owned by us.

Business Segments

     Management reports results of operations through three segments: Homebuilding Division, Land Division and Other Operations. The presentation and allocation of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of each segment may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segment as a stand-alone business. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segment might differ but, in management’s view, the relative trends in segments would not likely be impacted. See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements for discussion of trends, results of operations and further discussion on each segment.

Homebuilding Division

     Our Homebuilding Division develops planned communities featuring homes with base prices generally ranging between $110,000 to $650,000. Our average contract price for new home orders in 2006, which includes the base price and buyer selected options and upgrades, was approximately $342,000. Our communities are designed to serve both active adult homeowners, aged 55 and older, and families. The communities currently under development or under contract and relevant data as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

		Number of				Planned				Closed								Sold				Net Units
		Communities				Units (a)				Units				Inventory				Backlog				Available
Active Adult Communities

TOTAL HOMEBUILDING			49				18,590				6,462				12,128				1,248				10,880

     The properties under contract listed above represent properties for which due diligence have been completed as of December 31, 2006 which our Homebuilding Division has the right to acquire at an aggregate purchase price of $14.2 million. Management will continue to evaluate market conditions and decide whether it is prudent to acquire this property in 2007, if at all. If a decision is made not to purchase properties under contract with third parties, amounts deposited or expended for due diligence will be written off. At December 31, 2006, we had $400,000 in deposits securing this purchase obligation and we are currently evaluating this obligation and intend to acquire the land associated with this purchase obligation.

     At December 31, 2006, our homebuilding backlog was 1,248 units, or $438.2 million. Backlog represents the number of units subject to pending sales contracts. Homes in backlog include homes that have been completed, but on which title has not been transferred, homes not yet completed and homes on which construction has not begun. There is no assurance that buyers will choose to complete the purchase of homes under contract and our remedy upon such failure to close is generally limited to retaining the buyers’ deposits or seeking specific performance of the sales contracts.

Land Division

     Core Communities was founded in May 1996 to develop a master-planned community in Port St. Lucie, Florida now known as St. Lucie West. It is currently developing master-planned communities in Tradition, Florida and in Tradition, South Carolina. As a master-planned community developer, Core Communities engages in four primary activities: (i) the acquisition of large tracts of raw land; (ii) planning, entitlement and infrastructure development; (iii) the sale of entitled land and/or developed lots to homebuilders (including Levitt and Sons) and commercial, industrial and institutional end-users; and (iv) the development and leasing of commercial space to commercial, industrial and institutional end-users.

     Our completed development, St. Lucie West is a 4,600 acre master-planned community located in St. Lucie County, Florida. It is bordered by Interstate 95 to the west and Florida’s Turnpike to the east. St. Lucie West contains residential, commercial and industrial developments. Within the community, residents are close to recreational and entertainment facilities, houses of worship, retail businesses, medical facilities and schools. PGA of America owns and operates a golf course and a country club on an adjacent parcel. The community’s baseball stadium, Tradition Field^®, serves as the spring training headquarters for the New York Mets professional baseball team and a minor league affiliate. There are more than 6,000 homes in St. Lucie West housing nearly 15,000 residents.

     Tradition, Florida, located approximately two miles south of St. Lucie West, includes approximately five miles of frontage on I-95, and encompasses more than 8,200 total acres (with approximately 5,800 saleable acres of which approximately 1,800 acres have been sold). Tradition, Florida is planned to include a corporate park, educational and health care facilities, commercial properties, residential homes and other uses in a series of mixed-use parcels. Community Development District special assessment bonds are being utilized to provide financing for certain infrastructure developments when applicable.

     We acquired our newest master-planned community, Tradition, South Carolina, in 2005. It consists of approximately 5,400 total acres, including approximately 3,000 saleable acres of which 160 acres were sold in 2006. 150 of these acres were sold to the Homebuilding Division. This community is currently entitled for up to 9,500 residential units and 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, in addition to recreational areas, educational facilities and emergency services. Development commenced in the first quarter of 2006 and land sales commenced in South Carolina in the fourth quarter of 2006.

     At December 31, 2006, our Land Division owned approximately 6,500 gross acres in Tradition, Florida including approximately 4,100 saleable acres. Through December 31, 2006, Core Communities had entered into contracts for the sale of a total of 1,794 acres in the first phase residential development at Tradition, Florida of which 1,757 acres had been delivered at December 31, 2006. Our backlog contains contracts for the sale of 37 acres, although there is no assurance that the consummation of those transactions will occur. Delivery of these acres is expected to be completed in 2007. At December 31, 2006, our Land Division additionally owned approximately 5,230 gross acres in Tradition, South Carolina including approximately 2,800 saleable acres. Through December 31, 2006, Core Communities had entered into a contract with Levitt and Sons for the sale of a total of 462 acres in the first phase residential development at Tradition, South Carolina of which 150 acres had been delivered at December 31, 2006. Our third party backlog in Tradition South Carolina contains contracts for the sale of 37 acres.

Our Land Division’s land in development and relevant data as of December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Other Operations

     Other operations consist of Levitt Commercial, our investment in Bluegreen Corporation, investments in joint ventures, other real estate interests, and holding company operations.

Levitt Commercial

     Levitt Commercial was formed in 2001 to develop industrial, commercial, retail and residential properties. As of December 31, 2006 Levitt Commercial has one remaining flex warehouse project with a total of 17 units in the sales backlog which closed in the first quarter of 2007.

Investment in Bluegreen Corporation

     We own approximately 9.5 million shares of the outstanding common stock of Bluegreen, which represents approximately 31% of that company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Bluegreen is a leading provider of vacation and residential lifestyle choices through its resorts and residential community businesses. Bluegreen is organized into two divisions: Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities.

     Bluegreen Resorts acquires, develops and markets vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) in resorts generally located in popular high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations. Bluegreen Communities acquires, develops and subdivides property and markets residential land homesites, the majority of which are sold directly to retail customers who seek to build a home in a high quality residential setting, in some cases on properties featuring a golf course and related amenities

     Bluegreen also generates significant interest income through its financing of individual purchasers of VOIs and, to a nominal extent, homesites sold by its Bluegreen Communities division.

Other Investments and Joint Ventures

     In October 2004, we acquired an 80,000 square foot office building to serve as our home office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for $16.2 million. The building was fully leased and occupied during the year ended December 31, 2005 and generated rental income. On November 9, 2005 the lease was modified and two floors of the building were vacated in January 2006. The Company moved its Homebuilding senior management and all Other Operations employees into this building in 2006, and it now serves as the Corporate Headquarters for Levitt Corporation and Levitt and Sons.

     From time to time, we seek to mitigate the risk associated with certain real estate projects by entering into joint ventures. Our investments in joint ventures and the earnings recorded on these investments were not significant for the year ended December 31, 2006.

     We entered into an indemnity agreement in April 2004 with a joint venture partner at Altman Longleaf, relating to, among other obligations, that partner’s guarantee of the joint venture’s indebtedness.

Our liability under the indemnity agreement is limited to the amount of any distributions from the joint venture which exceeds our original capital and other contributions. Levitt Commercial owns a 20% partnership interest in Altman Longleaf, LLC, which owns a 20% interest in this joint venture. This venture is developing a 298-unit apartment complex in Melbourne, Florida. An affiliate of our joint venture partner is the general contractor. Construction commenced on the development in 2004 and was completed in 2006. Our original capital contributions were approximately $585,000. In 2004, we received an additional distribution that totaled approximately $1.1 million. In January 2006, we received a distribution of approximately $138,000. Accordingly, our potential obligation of indemnity after the January 2006 distribution is approximately $664,000. Based on the joint venture assets that secure the indebtedness, we do not believe it is likely that any payment will be required under the indemnity agreement.

Information Technologies

     We continue to seek to improve the efficiency of our field and corporate operations in an effort to plan appropriately for the construction of our homes under contract. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we implemented a fully integrated operating and financial system in order to have all operating entities, with the exception of the Tennessee operations, on one platform and to have all field personnel use a standardized construction scheduling system that aims to improve the management of cycle time, subcontractor relationships and efficiencies throughout the field operations. These systems are expected to enable information to be shared and utilized throughout our company and enable us to better manage, optimize and leverage our employees and management.

Seasonality

     We have historically experienced volatility but not necessarily seasonality, in our results of operations from quarter-to-quarter due to the nature of the homebuilding business. We are focusing our efforts on our homebuilding sales and construction process with the overall objective of achieving more consistent levels of production. Our new financial systems improved our capabilities in construction scheduling and homebuilding operations which should assist us in managing and improving cycle times. However, due to the uncertainty in the homebuilding market, we expect to continue to experience high volatility in our starts and deliveries throughout 2007.

Competition

     The real estate development and homebuilding industries are highly competitive and fragmented. Overbuilding and excess supply conditions could, among other competitive factors, materially adversely affect homebuilders in the affected market and our ability to sell homes. Further, if our competitors lower prices or offer incentives, we may be required to do so as well to maintain sales and in such case our margins and profitability would be impacted. We have begun to offer sales incentives to attract buyers which include price reductions, option discounts, closing costs reduction programs and mortgage fee incentives and these programs will adversely affect our margins. Homebuilders compete for financing, raw materials and skilled labor, as well as for the sale of homes. We also compete with third parties in our efforts to sell land to homebuilders. We compete with other local, regional and national real estate companies and homebuilders, often within larger subdivisions designed, planned and developed by such competitors. Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, sales and other resources than we do.

     In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. There are no required technologies that would preclude or inhibit competitors from entering our markets. Our competitors may independently develop land and construct products that are superior or substantially similar to our products. A substantial portion of our operations are in Florida, where some of the most attractive markets in the nation have historically been located, and therefore we expect to continue to face additional competition from new entrants into our markets.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2006, we employed a total of 666 full-time employees and 32 part-time employees. The breakdown of employees by segment was as follows:

		Full				Part
		Time				Time
Homebuilding			544				25
Land			59				7
Other Operations			63				—
Total			666				32

     Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreements and we have never experienced a work stoppage. We believe our employee relations are satisfactory.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS GENERALLY

We engage in real estate activities which are speculative and involve a high degree of risk

     The real estate industry is highly cyclical by nature, the current market is experiencing a significant decline and future market conditions are uncertain. Factors which adversely affect the real estate and homebuilding industries, many of which are beyond our control, include:

	•		overbuilding or decreases in demand;
	•		inventory build-up due to buyers contract cancellations;
	•		the availability and cost of financing;
	•		unfavorable interest rates and increases in inflation;
	•		changes in the general availability of land and competition for available land;
	•		construction defects and warranty claims arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, including mold related property damage and bodily injury claims and homeowner and homeowners’ association lawsuits;
	•		changes in national, regional and local economic conditions;
	•		cost overruns, inclement weather, and labor and material shortages;
	•		the impact of present or future environmental legislation, zoning laws and other regulations;
	•		availability, delays and costs associated with obtaining permits, approvals or licenses necessary to develop property, and
	•		increase in real estate taxes, insurance and other local government fees.

We have experienced a decline in our homebuilding operations over the past year which has adversely affected our sales volume and pricing.

     In 2006, the homebuilding industry in our markets experienced a significant decline in demand for new homes. The trends in the homebuilding industry continue to be unfavorable. Demand has slowed as evidenced by fewer new orders and lower conversion rates in the markets in which we operate. These conditions have been particularly difficult in Florida, which is the market in which we have the strongest presence. Spec inventories have increased as a result of higher cancellation rates on pending contracts as new homeowners sometimes find it more advantageous to forfeit a deposit than to close on the purchase of the home. The combination of the lower demand and higher inventories affects both the number of homes we can sell and the prices at which we can sell them. We cannot predict how long demand and other factors in the homebuilding market will remain unfavorable, how active the market will be during the coming periods and if sales volume and pricing will return to past levels or levels that will enable us to operate more profitably.

Our industry is highly competitive

     The homebuilding industry is highly competitive. We compete in each of our markets with numerous national, regional and local homebuilders. This competition with other homebuilders could reduce the number of homes we deliver or cause us to accept reduced margins in order to maintain sales volume.

     We also compete with the resale of existing homes, including foreclosed home sales by lenders, sales by housing speculators and available rental housing. As demand for homes has slowed, the number of completed unsold homes has increased as well as the supply of existing homes. Competition with existing inventory, including homes purchased for speculation, has resulted in increased pressure on the prices at which we are able to sell homes, as well as upon the number of homes we can sell.

Continued decline in land values could result in further impairment write-offs.

     Some of the land we currently own was purchased at prices that reflected the historic high demand cycle in the homebuilding industry. The recent slowdown in the homebuilding industry in our markets resulted in $36.8 million of homebuilding inventory impairments for the year ended December 31, 2006. If market conditions continue to deteriorate, the fair value of some of these assets or additional assets may decrease and be subject to future impairment write-offs and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. Further, impairment write-offs could also result in the acceleration of debt which is secured by impaired assets. In order to remain competitive, we are aggressively offering sales incentives which will negatively impact our margins and may impact our backlog.

Because real estate investments are illiquid, a decline in the real estate market or in the economy in general could adversely impact our business and our cash flow.

     Real estate investments are generally illiquid. Companies that invest in real estate have a limited ability to vary their portfolio of real estate investments in response to changes in economic and other conditions. In addition, the market value of any or all of our properties or investments may decrease in the future. Moreover, we may not be able to timely dispose of an investment when we find dispositions advantageous or necessary, or complete the disposition of properties under contract to be sold, and any such dispositions may not provide proceeds in excess of the amount of our investment in the property or even in excess of the amount of any indebtedness secured by the property. As part of our strategy for future growth, we significantly increased our land inventory during 2006, with our inventory of real estate increasing from $611.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $822.0 million at December 31, 2006. This substantial increase in our land holdings and concentration in Florida subjects us to a greater risk from declines in real estate values in our markets. Further, these newly acquired properties were purchased at a time when competition for land was very high, and accordingly these properties may be more susceptible to impairment write downs in the current real estate environment. Declines in real estate values or in the economy generally could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Shortages of supplies and labor could increase costs and delay deliveries, which may adversely affect our operating results

     Our ability to develop our projects may be affected by circumstances beyond our control, including:

	•		shortages or increases in prices of construction materials;
	•		natural disasters in the areas in which we operate;
	•		work stoppages, labor disputes and shortages of qualified trades people, such as carpenters, roofers, electricians and plumbers;
	•		lack of availability of adequate utility infrastructure and services; and
	•		our need to rely on local subcontractors who may not be adequately capitalized or insured.

     Any of these circumstances could give rise to delays in the start or completion of, or increase the cost of, developing one or more of our projects or individual homes. We compete with other real estate developers, both regionally and nationally, for labor as well as raw materials, and the competition for materials has recently become global. Increased costs or shortages of lumber, drywall, steel, concrete, roofing materials, pipe and asphalt could cause increases in construction costs and construction delays.

     Historically, we have sought to manage our costs, in part, by entering into short-term, fixed-price materials contracts with selected subcontractors and material suppliers. We may be unable to achieve cost containment in the future by using fixed-price contracts. Without corresponding increases in the sales prices of our real estate inventories (both land and finished homes), increasing materials costs associated with land development and home building could negatively affect our margins. We may not be able to recover these increased costs by raising our home prices because, typically, the price for each home is set in a home sale contract with the customer months prior to delivery. If we are unable to increase our prices for new homes to offset these increased costs, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Natural disasters could have an adverse effect on our real estate operations

     We currently develop and sell a significant portion of our properties in Florida. The Florida markets in which we operate are subject to the risks of natural disasters such as hurricanes and tropical storms. These natural disasters could have a material adverse effect on our business by causing the incurrence of uninsured losses, increased homebuyer insurance rates, delays in construction, and shortages and increased costs of labor and building materials. In 2005 three named storms made landfall in the State of Florida causing little damage to our communities. In addition, during the 2004 hurricane season, five named storms made landfall in the State causing property damage in several of our communities; however, our losses were primarily related to landscaping and claims based on water intrusion associated with the hurricanes, and we have attempted to address those issues. In May 2005, a purported class action was brought on behalf of owners of homes in a particular Central Florida Levitt and Sons’ subdivision alleging construction defects and damage suffered during certain of the hurricanes in 2004.

     In addition to property damage, hurricanes may cause disruptions to our business operations. New homebuyers cannot obtain insurance until after named storms have passed, creating delays in new home deliveries. Approaching storms require that sales, development and construction operations be suspended in favor of storm preparation activities such as securing construction materials and equipment. After a storm has passed, construction-related resources such as sub-contracted labor and building materials are likely to be redeployed to hurricane recovery efforts around the state. Governmental permitting and inspection activities may similarly be focused primarily on returning displaced residents to homes damaged by the storms rather than on new construction activity. Depending on the severity of the damage caused by the storms, disruptions such as these could last for several months.

Our ability to sell lots and homes, and, accordingly, our operating results, will be affected by the availability of financing to potential purchasers

     Most purchasers of real estate finance their acquisitions through third-party mortgage financing. Residential real estate demand is generally adversely affected by:

	•		increases in interest rates,
	•		decreases in the availability of mortgage financing,
	•		increasing housing costs,
	•		unemployment, and
	•		changes in federally sponsored financing programs.

Increases in interest rates or decreases in the availability of mortgage financing could depress the market for new homes because of the increased monthly mortgage costs or the unavailability of financing to potential homebuyers. Even if potential customers do not need financing, increases in interest rates and decreased mortgage availability could make it harder for them to sell their homes. Recently, increases in rates on certain adjustable rate mortgage products and a trend of increasing defaults by borrowers generally, including under subprime, certain interest only and negative amortization mortgage loans could lead to a reduction in the availability of mortgage financing. If demand for housing declines, land may remain in our inventory longer and our corresponding borrowing costs would increase. This would adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our ability to successfully develop communities could affect our financial condition

     It may take several years for a community development to achieve positive cash flow. Before a community development generates any revenues, material expenditures are required to acquire land, to obtain development approvals and to construct significant portions of project infrastructure, amenities, model homes and sales facilities. If we are unable to develop and market our communities successfully and to generate positive cash flows from these operations in a timely manner, it will have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our working capital requirements.

A portion of our revenues from land sales in our master planned communities are recognized for accounting purposes under the percentage of completion method, therefore if our actual results differ from our assumptions our profitability may be reduced.

     Under the percentage of completion method for recognizing revenue, we record revenue as work on the project progresses. This method relies on estimates of total expected project costs. Revenue and cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as the work progresses. Adjustments are reflected in contract revenue in the period when such estimates are revised. Variation of actual results and our estimates in these large master planned communities could be material.

Product liability litigation and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business may be costly which could adversely affect our business

     Our homebuilding and commercial development business is subject to construction defect and product liability claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims are common in the homebuilding and commercial real estate industries and can be costly. We have, and many of our subcontractors have, general liability, property, errors and omissions, workers compensation and other business insurance. However, these insurance policies only protect us against a portion of our risk of loss from claims. In addition, because of the uncertainties inherent in these matters, we cannot provide reasonable assurance that our insurance coverage or our subcontractor arrangements will be adequate to address all warranty, construction defect and liability claims in the future. In addition, the costs of insuring against construction defect and product liability claims, if applicable, are high and the amount of coverage offered by insurance companies is also currently limited. There can be no assurance that this coverage will not be further restricted and become more costly. If we are not able to obtain adequate insurance against these claims, we may experience losses that could negatively impact our operating results. We are currently a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit alleging construction defects and seeking damages.

While we are vigorously defending this action, we will be required to incur legal fees and there is no assurance that we will be successful in litigation.

     Further, as a community developer, we may be expected by community residents from time to time to resolve any real or perceived issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of our communities. Any efforts made by us in resolving these issues or disputes may not satisfy the affected residents and any subsequent action by these residents could negatively impact sales and results of operations. In addition, we could be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such issues or disputes or to modify our community development plans.

We are subject to governmental regulations that may limit our operations, increase our expenses or subject us to liability

     We are subject to laws, ordinances and regulations of various federal, state and local governmental entities and agencies concerning, among other things:

	•		environmental matters, including the presence of hazardous or toxic substances,
	•		wetland preservation,
	•		health and safety,
	•		zoning, land use and other entitlements,
	•		building design, and
	•		density levels.

     In developing a project and building homes or commercial properties, we may be required to obtain the approval of numerous governmental authorities regulating matters such as:

•

installation of utility services such as gas, electric, water and waste disposal,

•

the dedication of acreage for open space, parks and schools,

•

permitted land uses, and

•

the construction design, methods and materials used.

These laws or regulations could, among other things:

•

establish building moratoriums,

•

limit the number of homes, or commercial properties that may be built,

•

change building codes and construction requirements affecting property under construction,

•

increase the cost of development and construction, and

•

delay development and construction.

     We may also at times not be in compliance with all regulatory requirements. If we are not in compliance with regulatory requirements, we may be subject to penalties or we may be forced to incur significant expenses to cure any noncompliance. In addition, some of our land and some of the land that we may acquire have not yet received planning approvals or entitlements necessary for planned or future development. Failure to obtain entitlements necessary for further development of this land on a timely basis or to the extent desired may adversely affect our future results and prospects.

     Several governmental authorities have also imposed impact fees as a means of defraying the cost of providing governmental services to developing areas, and many of these fees have increased significantly during recent years.

Building moratoriums and changes in governmental regulations may subject us to delays or increased costs of construction or prohibit development of our properties

     We may be subject to delays or may be precluded from developing in certain communities because of building moratoriums or changes in statutes or rules that could be imposed in the future. The

State of Florida and various counties have in the past and may in the future continue to declare moratoriums on the issuance of building permits and impose restrictions in areas where the infrastructure, such as roads, schools, parks, water and sewage treatment facilities and other public facilities, does not reach minimum standards. Additionally, certain counties in Florida, including counties where we are developing projects, have enacted more stringent building codes which have resulted in increased costs of construction. As a consequence, we may incur significant expenses in connection with complying with new regulatory requirements that we may not be able to pass on to buyers.

We are subject to environmental laws and the cost of compliance could adversely affect our business

     As a current or previous owner or operator of real property, we may be liable under federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in the property. These laws often impose liability whether or not we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of investigating, remediating or removing such hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial. The presence of any such substance, or the failure promptly to remediate any such substance, may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property, to use the property for our intended purpose, or to borrow using the property as collateral.

Increased insurance risk could negatively affect our business

     Insurance and surety companies may take actions that could negatively affect our business, including increasing insurance premiums, requiring higher self-insured retentions and deductibles, requiring additional collateral or covenants on surety bonds, reducing limits, restricting coverages, imposing exclusions, and refusing to underwrite certain risks and classes of business. Any of these actions may adversely affect our ability to obtain appropriate insurance coverage at reasonable costs which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We utilize community development districts to fund development costs

     We establish community development districts to access tax-exempt bond financing to fund infrastructure and other projects at our master-planned communities. We are responsible for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is sold. We will continue to be responsible for the annual assessments if the property is never sold.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY

Our indebtedness and leverage could adversely affect our financial condition, restrict our ability to operate and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations

     We have a significant amount of debt. At December 31, 2006, our consolidated debt was approximately $615.7 million. Our debt could:

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payment of or on our debt and reduce our ability to use our cash flow for other purposes,

•

be accelerated if we do not meet required covenants or the collateral securing the indebtedness decreases in value,

•

make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business or in general economic conditions.

•

impact our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, the changes in our business,

•

limit our ability to obtain future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements or other requirements, and

•

place us at a competitive disadvantage if we have more debt than our competitors.

     Our ability to meet our debt service and other obligations, to refinance our indebtedness or to fund

planned capital expenditures will depend upon our future performance. We are engaged in businesses that are substantially affected by changes in economic cycles. Our revenues and earnings vary with the level of general economic activity in the markets we serve. The factors that affect our ability to generate cash can also affect our ability to raise additional funds for these purposes through the sale of equity securities, the refinancing of debt, or the sale of assets. Changes in prevailing interest rates may affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations, because borrowings under a significant portion of our debt instruments bear interest at floating rates.

     Our anticipated minimum debt payment obligations in 2007 total approximately $46.0 million, which does not include repayments of specified amounts upon a sale of portions of the property securing the debt or any amounts that could be accelerated in the event that property serving as collateral becomes impaired. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future borrowings may not be available under our existing credit facilities or any other financing sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms or at all.

     Our outstanding debt instruments and bank credit facilities impose restrictions on our operations and activities. The most significant restrictions relate to debt incurrence, lien incurrence, sales of assets and cash distributions by us and require us to comply with certain financial covenants. If we fail to comply with any of these restrictions or covenants, the holders of the applicable debt could cause our debt to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, some of our debt instruments contain cross-default provisions, which could cause a default in a number of debt instruments if we default on only one debt instrument.

Our current land development plans may require additional capital, which may not be available

     We anticipate that we will need to obtain additional financing as we fund our current land development projects. These funds may be obtained through public or private debt or equity financings, additional bank borrowings or from strategic alliances. We may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all. Moreover, certain of our bank financing agreements contain provisions that limit the type and amount of debt we may incur in the future without our lenders’ consent. In addition, the availability of borrowed funds, especially for land acquisition and construction financing, may be greatly reduced, and lenders may require increased amounts of equity to be invested in a project by borrowers in connection with both new loans and the extension of existing loans. If we do not have access to additional capital, we may be required to delay, scale back or abandon some or all of our land development activities or reduce capital expenditures and the size of our operations.

Our results may vary

     We historically have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, variability in operating results on a quarterly basis and from year to year. Factors expected to contribute to this variability include:

•

the cyclical nature of the real estate and construction industries,

•

prevailing interest rates and the availability of mortgage financing,

•

the uncertain timing of closings,

•

weather and the cost and availability of materials and labor,

•

competitive conditions, and

•

the timing of receipt of regulatory and other governmental approvals for construction of projects.

     The volume of sales contracts and closings typically varies from quarter to quarter depending on the stages of development of our projects. In the early stages of a project’s development (two to three years depending on the project), we incur significant start-up costs associated with, among other things, project design, land acquisition and development, construction and marketing expenses. Since revenues from sales of properties are generally recognized only upon the transfer of title at the closing of a sale, no revenue is

recognized during the early stages of a project unless land parcels or residential homesites are sold to other developers. Our costs and expenses were approximately $607.8 million, $500.6 million and $484.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Periodic sales of properties may be insufficient to fund operating expenses and the current trends we are experiencing with respect to new sales and cancellations in our homebuilding operations makes it likely that our level of sales over the next 12 months will be significantly below past levels. Further, if sales and other revenues are not adequate to cover costs and expenses, we will be required to seek a source of additional operating funds. Accordingly, our financial results will vary from community to community and from time to time.

We may not successfully integrate acquired businesses into ours

     As part of our business strategy, we have in the past and expect to continue to evaluate acquisition prospects that would complement our existing business, or that might otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including:

•

difficulties in assimilating acquired management and operations,

•

risks associated with achieving profitability,

•

the incurrence of significant due diligence expenses relating to acquisitions that are not completed,

•

unforeseen expenses,

•

integrating information technologies,

•

risks associated with entering new markets in which we have no or limited prior experience,

•

the potential loss of key employees of acquired organizations, and

•

risks associated with transferred assets and liabilities.

     We may not be able to acquire or profitably manage additional businesses, or to integrate successfully any acquired businesses, properties or personnel into our business, without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial difficulties. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to successfully realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition, we may be required to incur an impairment charge with respect to any goodwill recognized in the acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2006, $1.3 million of goodwill recorded in connection with the Bowden acquisition consummated in 2004 was fully written off. In addition, we may incur debt or contingent liabilities in connection with future acquisitions, which could materially adversely affect our operating results.

Our controlling shareholders have the voting power to control the outcome of any shareholder vote, except in limited circumstances

     As of December 31, 2006, BFC Financial Corporation owned 1,219,031 shares of our Class B common stock, which represented all of our issued and outstanding Class B common stock, and 2,074,240 shares, or approximately 11% of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock. In the aggregate these shares represent approximately 53% of our total voting power and approximately 17% of our total equity. Since the Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote as a single group on most matters, BFC Financial Corporation is in a position to control our company and elect a majority of our Board of Directors. Additionally, Alan B. Levan, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and John E. Abdo, our Vice Chairman, beneficially own approximately 35.1% and 17.6% of the shares of BFC Financial Corporation, respectively. As a consequence, Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo effectively have the voting power to control the outcome of any shareholder vote of Levitt Corporation, except in those limited circumstances where Florida law mandates that the holders of our Class A common stock vote as a separate class. BFC Financial Corporation’s interests may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. On January 31, 2007, we announced that we had entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. See — “Business-Recent Developments-BFC Merger.”

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR OWNERSHIP STAKE IN BLUEGREEN CORPORATION

     We own approximately 31% of the outstanding common stock of Bluegreen Corporation, a publicly-traded corporation whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BXG”. Although traded on the New York Stock Exchange, our shares may be deemed restricted stock, which would limit our ability to liquidate our investment if we chose to do so. While we have made a significant investment in Bluegreen Corporation, we do not expect to receive any dividends from the company for the foreseeable future.

     For the year ended December 31, 2006, our earnings from our investment in Bluegreen were $9.7 million, decreasing from $12.7 million in 2005, and from $13.1 million in 2004. At December 31, 2006, the book value of our investment in Bluegreen was $107.1 million. Accordingly, a significant portion of our earnings and book value are dependent upon Bluegreen’s ability to continue to generate earnings and maintain its market value. Further, declines in the market value of Bluegreen’s shares or other events that could impair the value of our holdings would have an adverse impact on the value of our investment. We annually review the investment in Bluegreen for impairment. We refer you to the public reports filed by Bluegreen with the Securities and Exchange Commission for information regarding Bluegreen.

ITEM 1.B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

     None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     Our principal and executive offices are located at our Corporate Headquarters at 2200 West Cypress Creek Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309. Our subsidiaries occupy premises in various locations in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee under leases that expire at various dates through 2010. In addition to our properties used for offices, we additionally own commercial space in Florida that is leased to third parties. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current and planned levels of operation. Because of the nature of our real estate operations, significant amounts of property are held as inventory and property and equipment in the ordinary course of our business.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On May 26, 2005, a suit was filed in the 9th Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida against the Company in Frank Albert, Dorothy Albert, et al. v. Levitt and Sons, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Levitt Homes, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Levitt Corporation, a Florida corporation, Levitt Construction Corp. East, a Florida corporation and Levitt and Sons, Inc., a Florida corporation. The suit purports to be a class action on behalf of residents in one of the Company’s communities in Central Florida. The complaint alleges, among other claims, construction defects and unspecified damages ranging from $50,000 to $400,000 per house. While there is no assurance that the Company will be successful, the Company believes it has valid defenses and is engaged in a vigorous defense of the action. The amount of loss related to this matter is estimated to be $320,000 which is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 as an accrued expense.

     On December 12, 2006 Levitt Corporation received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service advising that Levitt and its subsidiaries has been selected for an examination of the tax period ending December 31, 2004. The scope of the examination was not indicated in the letter.

     We are party to additional various claims and lawsuits which arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the specific allegations in the lawsuits differ, most of them involve claims that we failed to construct buildings in particular communities in accordance with plans and specifications or applicable construction codes and seek reimbursement for sums allegedly needed to remedy the alleged deficiencies, assert contract issues or relate to personal injuries. Lawsuits of these types are common within the homebuilding industry. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits will have

a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

     Our operations are concentrated in the real estate industry, which is cyclical by nature. In addition, the majority of our assets are located in the State of Florida. Our homebuilding operations sell residential housing, while our land development business sells land to residential builders as well as commercial developers, and on occasion internally develops commercial real estate and enters into lease arrangements. The homebuilding industry is going through a dramatic slowdown after years of strong growth. Excess supply, particularly in previously strong markets like Florida, in part driven by speculative activity by investors, has led to downward pressure on pricing for residential homes and land. Accordingly, we have increased our focus on alternative strategies under various economic scenarios with a view to maintaining sufficient liquidity to withstand a prolonged downturn. Capital for land development and community amenities is being closely monitored and we are attempting to pace expenditures in line with current absorption rates.

Outlook

     During 2006, management continued to focus on improving organizational and infrastructure processes and procedures. We made substantial investments in our information systems, personnel and practices to strengthen the management team, increase field construction capacity and competency and standardize policies and procedures to enhance operational efficiency and consistency. While the Company made these organizational changes, the market conditions in the homebuilding industry deteriorated and we have not yet seen meaningful evidence of any improvement to date in 2007. As a result of these deteriorating conditions, we incurred higher selling expenses for advertising, outside broker commissions and other sales and marketing incentives in an effort to remain competitive and attract buyers during 2006 and expect to continue to do so in 2007.

     Our Land Division entered the year with three active projects, St. Lucie West, Tradition, Florida and Tradition, South Carolina. During 2006, we finished development in St. Lucie West, continued our development and sales activities in Tradition, Florida, and started our development in Tradition, South Carolina. As a result, we incurred higher general and administrative expenses in the Land Division due to this expansion into the South Carolina market. In addition, the overall slowdown in the homebuilding market had an effect on demand for residential land in our Land Division which was partially mitigated by increased commercial sales and commercial leasing revenue. Traffic at the Tradition, Florida information center slowed in connection with the overall slowdown in the homebuilding market.

     As we enter 2007, our strategy will focus on our balance sheet, including efforts to enhance our liquidity and preserve our borrowing capacity, as well as to bring costs in line with our orders, closings and strategic objectives. We have been taking steps to align our staffing levels with current and anticipated future market conditions and will continue to focus on implementing expense management initiatives throughout the organization. We have reviewed and continue to review our land positions to align our position with our requirements and expectations of future demand. In order to remain competitive in our markets, we are aggressively offering sales incentives to customers while working to preserve the conversion rate in our backlog. These initiatives will lead to lower gross margins on home sales. We are attempting to mitigate the impact of this margin compression by reducing general and administrative expenses, shortening cycle time to lower construction and carry costs, negotiating lower prices from our suppliers and in the short term curtailing land acquisitions in most of our markets. While there is clearly a slowdown in the homebuilding sector, interest in commercial property in our Land Division has remained strong, and interest in the South Carolina market does not appear to be impacted as severely as the Florida residential market. The Land Division expects to continue developing and selling land in its master-planned communities in South Carolina and Florida. In addition to sales of parcels to homebuilders, the Land Division plans to continue to expand its commercial operations through sales to developers and to internally develop certain projects for leasing to third parties. In addition to sales to third party homebuilders and commercial developers, the Land Division anticipates that it will continue to periodically sell residential land to the Homebuilding Division.

Financial and Non-Financial Metrics

     We evaluate our performance and prospects using a variety of financial and non-financial metrics. The key financial metrics utilized to evaluate historical operating performance include revenues from sales of real estate, margin (which we measure as revenues from sales of real estate minus cost of sales of real estate), margin percentage (which we measure as margin divided by revenues from sales of real estate), (loss) income before taxes, net (loss) income and return on equity. We also continue to evaluate and monitor selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Non-financial metrics used to evaluate historical performance include the number and value of new orders executed, the number of cancelled contracts and resulting spec inventory, the number of housing starts and the number of homes delivered. In evaluating our future prospects, management considers non-financial information such as the number of homes and acres in backlog (which we measure as homes or land subject to an executed sales contract) and the aggregate value of those contracts as well as cancellation rates of homes in backlog. Additionally, we monitor the number of properties remaining in inventory and under contract to be purchased relative to our sales and construction trends. Our ratio of debt to shareholders’ equity and cash requirements are also considered when evaluating our future prospects, as are general economic factors and interest rate trends. Each of the above metrics is discussed in the following sections as it relates to our operating results, financial position and liquidity. These metrics are not an exhaustive list, and management may from time to time utilize different financial and non-financial information or may not use all of the metrics mentioned above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     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 revenues and expenses on the statements of operations for the periods presented. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to revenue recognition on percent complete projects, reserves and accruals, impairment of assets, determination of the valuation of real estate and estimated costs to complete of construction, litigation and contingencies and the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates if conditions change or if certain key assumptions used in making these estimates ultimately prove to be materially incorrect.

     We have identified the following accounting policies that management views as critical to the accurate portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.

Inventory of Real Estate

     Inventory of real estate includes land, land development costs, interest and other construction costs and is stated at accumulated cost or, when circumstances indicate that the inventory is impaired, at estimated fair value. Due to the large acreage of certain land holdings and the nature of our project development life cycles, disposition in the normal course of business is expected to extend over a number of years.

     Land and indirect land development costs are accumulated by specific area and allocated to various parcels or housing units using either specific identification or apportioned based upon the relative sales value, unit or area methods. Direct construction costs are assigned to housing units based on specific identification. Construction costs primarily include direct construction costs and capitalized field overhead. Other costs are comprised of tangible selling costs, prepaid local government fees and capitalized real

estate taxes. Tangible selling costs are capitalized by communities and represent costs incurred throughout the selling period to aid in the sale of housing units, such as model furnishings and decorations, sales office furnishings and facilities, exhibits, displays and signage. These tangible selling costs are capitalized and expensed to cost of sales of the benefited home sales. Start-up costs and other selling costs are expensed as incurred.

     The expected future costs of development are analyzed at least annually to determine the appropriate allocation factors to charge to the remaining inventory as cost of sales when such inventory is sold. During the long term project development cycles in our Land Division, such development costs are subject to more relative volatility than similar costs in homebuilding. Costs to complete infrastructure will be influenced by changes in direct costs associated with labor and materials, as well as changes in development orders and regulatory compliance.

     We review real estate inventory for impairment on a project-by-project basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS No. 144). In analyzing potential impairment, we use projections of future undiscounted cash flows from the inventory. These projections are based on our views of future sales prices, cost of sales levels and absorption rates. We believe that our estimates are consistent with assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value. Due to changes in economic and market conditions, and assumptions and estimates required of management in valuing inventory during these changing market conditions, all of which are subjective and involve significant estimates, actual results could differ materially from management’s assumptions and estimates and may require material inventory impairment charges to be recorded in the future.

     During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded $36.8 million of impairment charges which included $34.3 million of homebuilding inventory impairments and $2.5 million of write-offs of deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to land under option that we do not intend to purchase. Projections of future cash flows were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charges. These adjustments were calculated based on current market conditions and assumptions made by management, which may differ materially from actual results if our assumptions prove not to be accurate or if market conditions change.

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

     We follow the equity method of accounting to record our interests in subsidiaries in which we do not own the majority of the voting stock and to record our investment in variable interest entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary. These entities consist of Bluegreen Corporation, joint ventures and statutory business trusts. The statutory business trusts are variable interest entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method, the initial investment in a joint venture is recorded at cost and is subsequently adjusted to recognize our share of the joint venture’s earnings or losses. Distributions received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment during each reporting period in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. These investments are evaluated annually or as events or circumstances warrant for other than temporary declines in value. Evidence of other than temporary declines includes the inability of the joint venture or investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment and consistent joint venture operating losses. The evaluation is based on available information including condition of the property and current and anticipated real estate market conditions.

Homesite Contracts and Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

     In the ordinary course of business we enter into contracts to purchase homesites and land held for development. Option contracts allow us to control significant homesite positions with minimal capital investment and substantially reduce the risks associated with land ownership and development. Our liability for nonperformance under such contracts is typically only the required deposits, which are usually less than 20% of the underlying purchase price. We do not have legal title to these assets. However, if certain conditions are met under the requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of

Variable Interest Entities”, the Company’s land contracts may create a variable interest for the Company, with the Company being identified as the primary beneficiary. If these conditions are met, interpretation no. 46 requires us to consolidate the assets (homesites) at their fair value. At December 31, 2006 there were no assets under these contracts consolidated in our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

     Revenue and all related costs and expenses from house and land sales are recognized at the time that closing has occurred, when title and possession of the property and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the buyer, and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. In order to properly match revenues with expenses, we estimate construction and land development costs incurred but not paid at the time of closing. Estimated costs to complete are determined for each closed home and land sale based upon historical data with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. We monitor the accuracy of estimates by comparing actual costs incurred subsequent to closing to the estimate made at the time of closing and make modifications to the estimates based on these comparisons. We do not expect the estimation process to change in the future.

     Revenue is recognized from certain land sales on the percentage-of-completion method when the land sale takes place prior to all contracted work being completed. Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 66, if the seller has some continuing involvement with the property and does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, profit shall be recognized by a method determined by the nature and extent of the seller’s continuing involvement. In the case of our land sales, this involvement typically consists of final development activities. We recognize revenue and related costs as work progresses using the percentage of completion method, which relies on contract revenue and estimates of total expected costs to complete required work. Revenue is recognized in proportion to the percentage of total costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs at the time of sale. Actual revenues and costs to complete construction in the future could differ from our current estimates. If our estimates of development costs remaining to be completed are significantly different from actual amounts, then our revenues, related cumulative profits and costs of sales may be revised in the period that estimates change.

     Effective January 1, 2006, Bluegreen adopted AICPA Statement of Position 04-02 Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“SOP 04-02”). This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-02. The adoption of SOP 04-02 resulted in a one-time, non-cash, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle charge of $4.5 million to Bluegreen for the year ended December 31, 2006, and accordingly reduced the earnings in Bluegreen recorded by us by approximately $1.4 million for the same period.

Capitalized Interest

     Interest incurred relating to land under development and construction is capitalized to real estate inventories during the active development period. Interest is capitalized as a component of inventory at the effective rates paid on borrowings during the pre-construction and planning stage and during the periods that projects are under development. Capitalization of interest is discontinued if development ceases at a project. Interest is amortized to cost of sales on the relative sales value method as related homes and land are sold.

Income Taxes

     The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Stock-based Compensation

     The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006 and elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not restated. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

     We currently use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The fair value of option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is determined by the stock price and assumptions regarding expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and expected dividends. If factors change and we use different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the amounts recorded in future periods may differ significantly from the amounts recorded in the current period and could affect net income and earnings per share.

Goodwill

     Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” we conduct a review of our goodwill on at least an annual basis to determine whether the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the fair market value using a discounted cash flow methodology. Should this be the case, the value of our goodwill may be impaired and written down. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we conducted an impairment review of the goodwill related to our Tennessee operations acquired in connection with our acquisition of Bowden Building Corporation in 2004. The profitability and estimated cash flows of this reporting entity were determined to have declined to a point where the carrying value of the assets exceeded their market value. We used a discounted cash flow methodology to determine the amount of impairment resulting in completely writing off the $1.3 million of goodwill in the year ended December 31, 2006. The write-off is included in other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations in the year ended December 31, 2006.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period

     We incurred a consolidated net loss of $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 which represented a decrease in consolidated net income of $64.1 million, or 116.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease was the result of decreased margins on sales of real estate across all Divisions due to increased cost of sales, and inventory impairments recorded in the year ended December 31, 2006 in the amount of $36.8 million, and higher selling and administrative expenses. There were no inventory impairments recorded in the prior year, although we did write-off $467,000 in deposits. These increases in expenses were offset in part by an increase in sales of real estate. Further, Bluegreen Corporation experienced a decline in earnings in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

     Revenues from sales of real estate increased slightly from $558.1 million to $566.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average selling prices of homes delivered by our Homebuilding Division offset in part by decreases in the sales of real estate for the Land Division and Other Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006. Homebuilding revenues increased from $438.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $500.7 million for the same period in 2006. During the year ended December 31,

2006, 1,660 homes were delivered compared to 1,789 homes delivered during the same period in 2005, however the average selling price of deliveries increased to $302,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $245,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase in the average price of our homes delivered was the result of price increases initiated throughout 2005 due to strong demand, particularly in Florida. In the year ended December 31, 2005, the Land Division recorded land sales of $105.7 million compared to land sales of $69.8 million for the same period in 2006. The large decrease is attributable to a bulk land sale of 1,294 acres for $64.7 million recorded by the Land Division in the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 371 total acres sold by the Land Division for the same period in 2006. Revenues for 2005 also reflect sales of flex warehouse properties as Levitt Commercial delivered 44 flex warehouse units at two of its development projects, generating revenues of $14.7 million. Levitt Commercial delivered 29 units during the year ended December 31, 2006 recording $11.0 million in revenues.

     Other Revenues increased from $6.8 million during the year ending December 31, 2005 to $9.2 million during the same period in 2006. This change was primarily related to an increase in lease and irrigation revenue associated with our Land Division’s Tradition, Florida master planned community.

     Cost of sales increased 18.4% to $483.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of sales was due to increased revenues from real estate. In addition, the increase was due to impairment charges and inventory related valuation adjustments in the amount of $36.8 million in our Homebuilding Division. Projections of future cash flows related to the remaining assets were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charge. These adjustments were calculated based on current market conditions and assumptions made by our management, which may differ materially from actual results. In the second quarter of 2006, we recorded inventory impairment charges related to the Tennessee operations. Our Tennessee operations have consistently delivered lower than expected margins. In the second quarter of 2006, key management personnel resigned and we faced increased start-up costs in the Nashville market. We also experienced a downward trend in home deliveries in our Tennessee operations during the second quarter and as a result of these factors, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $4.7 million. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we recorded additional impairment charges of $29.7 million in Florida and Tennessee due to the continued downward trend in these homebuilding markets. In addition to impairment charges, cost of sales increased due to higher construction costs. The increase in cost of sales in homebuilding was partially offset by lower cost of sales in the Land Division and Other Operations, based on the decrease in land sales recorded. Consolidated cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue was approximately 85.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to approximately 73.1% for the same period in 2005. This increase adversely affected gross margin percentages across all business segments. This decrease in margin was attributable to the impairment charges, higher construction costs as well as lower land revenues recognized associated with pricing pressure on sales of land.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $33.5 million to $121.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $87.6 million during the same period in 2005 as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits, advertising costs and professional services expenses. Employee compensation and benefits expense increased by approximately $7.1 million, from $42.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 to $49.6 million for the same period in 2006. This increase relates to the number of employees increasing from 668 at December 31, 2005 to 698 at December 31, 2006. The employee count was as high as 765 as of June 30, 2006. These increases were primarily a result of the continued expansion of the Homebuilding and Land Divisions activities into new geographic areas and enhanced support functions. Further, approximately $3.1 million of the increase in compensation expense was associated with non-cash stock-based compensation for which no expense was recorded in the same period in 2005. Additionally, other charges of $1.0 million consisted of employee related costs, including severance and retention payments relating to our Homebuilding Division. Advertising and outside broker expense increased approximately $8.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to increased advertising costs for new communities opened during 2006 and increased advertising and increased costs to outside brokers associated with efforts to attract buyers in a challenging homebuilding market. Lastly, we experienced an increase in administrative

costs of $2.8 million due to non-capitalizable consulting services performed during the year ended December 31, 2006 related to our financial systems implementation of a new technology and data platform for all of our operating entities. Effective October 2006, our segments excluding our Tennessee operations transferred to one system platform. The system implementation costs consisted of training and other validation procedures that were performed in the year ended December 31, 2006. Similar professional services costs were not incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 21.1% during the year ended December 31, 2006, from 15.5% during the same period in 2005, due to the increases in overhead spending noted above, coupled with the decline in total revenues generated in our Land Division with no corresponding decrease in overhead costs. Management continues to evaluate overhead spending in an effort to align costs with backlog, sales and deliveries.

     Interest incurred and capitalized totaled $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $19.3 million for the same period in 2005. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding debt balances, as well as an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate debt and new borrowings. At the time of home closings and land sales, the capitalized interest allocated to such inventory is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included previously capitalized interest of approximately $15.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

     Other expenses decreased to $3.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $677,000 in debt prepayment penalties that were incurred in 2005, a $830,000 litigation reserve recorded in 2005, and hurricane related expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005 while no hurricane expenses were incurred in 2006. The decrease in other expenses was partially offset by goodwill impairment charges recorded in the year ended December 31, 2006 of approximately $1.3 million related to our Tennessee operations. In the second quarter of 2006, we determined the profitability and estimated cash flows of the reporting entity declined to a point where the carrying value of the assets exceeded their market value resulting in a write-off of goodwill.

     Bluegreen reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $29.8 million, as compared to net income of $46.6 million for the same period in 2005. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, was $9.7 million for the 2006 period compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2005, net of purchase accounting adjustments and cumulative effect of 2005 restatement.

     Interest and other income decreased from $10.3 million during the year ending December 31, 2005 to $8.3 million during the same period in 2006. This change was primarily related to certain one time income items recorded in 2005 in the amount of $7.3 million, including a contingent gain receipt and the reversal of a $6.8 million construction related obligation which were not realized in 2006. These decreases were partially offset by higher income in 2006 related to a $1.3 million gain on sale of fixed assets from our Land Division, higher interest income generated by our various interest bearing deposits, and a $2.6 million increase in forfeited deposits realized by our Homebuilding Division.

     Provision for income taxes reflects an effective rate of 38.6% in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 37.1% in the year ended December 31, 2005. The change in the effective rate is due to the temporary differences created due to impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additionally, we recognized an adjustment of an over accrual of income tax expense in the amount of approximately $262,000, which is immaterial to the current and prior period financial statements to which it relates.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Same 2004 Period

     Consolidated net income decreased $2.5 million, or 4.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to 2004. The decrease in net income primarily resulted from a decrease in sales of real estate by our Homebuilding Division, coupled with an increase in overall selling, general and administrative expenses associated with our expansion into new markets, increased headcount, and our efforts to improve our organizational structure, production and operational practices. The impact of lower homebuilding revenue, higher spending on overhead, technology, training and infrastructure and lower earnings from joint ventures was partially mitigated by increases in sales by our Land Division and Levitt Commercial, as

well as an increase in interest and other income.

     Our consolidated revenues from sales of real estate increased 1.5% to $558.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $549.7 million for the same 2004 period. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in consolidated revenue from the Land Division which increased to $105.7 million in 2005 and an increase at Levitt Commercial from $5.6 million in 2004 to $14.7 million in 2005. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $33.9 million in Homebuilding Division revenues as a result of fewer deliveries. The Land Division’s segment revenues of $96.2 million in 2004 included $24.4 million of sales to the Homebuilding Division which were eliminated in consolidation because they represent inter-company sales. The increase in the Land Division revenue was attributable primarily to the first quarter 2005 bulk sale for $64.7 million of five non-contiguous parcels of land consisting of 1,294 acres adjacent to our Tradition, Florida master-planned community.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 23.4% to $87.6 million during 2005 compared to $71.0 million for the same 2004 period primarily as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits expenses and an increase in professional fees. As a percentage of total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.5% for 2005 from 12.8% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in compensation expense was attributable to an increase in employee headcount associated with new hires in Central and South Florida (including the Company’s headquarters) and the continued expansion of homebuilding activities into North Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Further, we incurred start-up costs such as advertising and administrative expenses associated with launching new communities in Atlanta, Georgia, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee. The number of our employees increased to 668 at December 31, 2005, from 559 as of December 31, 2004. In addition, expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005 reflected the full inclusion of Bowden’s operations which was acquired in May 2004. In connection with our initiatives to improve infrastructure, we incurred expenses associated with technology upgrades, training and human resource development and communications.

     We engaged consultants in 2005 to assist us in a detailed operational and organizational review. Following that detailed evaluation, we concluded that additional infrastructure investment and organizational change would be necessary in order to support growth objectives of the Homebuilding Division. As a result, the Company was organizationally restructured into regional teams with matrixed, multi-functional relationships. At the same time, we implemented numerous initiatives to support the new regional structure and increased infrastructure investment, which included recruiting additional managers, particularly in field operations; the evaluation, documentation, and implementation of industry best practices; the selection and implementation of a common technology platform; the development of curriculum and training programs; and formalized management communications relating to strategies and priorities. Overhead expense associated with this broad range of organizational and operational initiatives increased, reflecting higher employee headcount, retention of outside consultants and other direct program costs.

     Interest incurred totaled $19.3 million and $11.1 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable related to increases in our inventory of real estate and to an increase in interest rates associated with rising interest rate indices which impacted our variable rate indebtedness. Interest capitalized was $19.3 million for 2005 and $10.8 million for 2004. Cost of sales of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 included previously capitalized interest of approximately $9.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

     The decrease in other expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in hurricane expenses, net of insurance recoveries. Expenses associated with the estimated costs of remediating hurricane-related damage in our Florida Homebuilding and Land Divisions were $572,000 in 2005 compared with $4.4 million in 2004. This decrease in expense was partially offset by a one time additional reserve recorded to account for our share of costs associated with a litigation settlement, and a debt prepayment penalty incurred during the first quarter of 2005 at our Land Division.

     We recorded $12.7 million of earnings relating to our ownership interest in Bluegreen during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     Bluegreen restated its financial statements for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 due to certain misapplications of GAAP in the accounting for sales of Bluegreen’s vacation ownership notes receivable and other related matters. The restatement accounts for the sales of notes receivable as on-balance sheet financing transactions as opposed to off-balance sheet sales transactions as Bluegreen had originally accounted for these transactions. The cumulative effect of the restatement is reflected in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. This cumulative adjustment resulted in a $2.4 million reduction of our earnings from Bluegreen and a $1.1 million increase in our pro-rata share of unrealized gains recognized by Bluegreen. These adjustments resulted in a $1.3 million reduction to our investment in Bluegreen.

     Earnings from real estate joint ventures were $69,000 during 2005 compared to earnings of $6.0 million for 2004. In 2004, earnings from real estate joint ventures included the sale of an apartment complex and deliveries of homes and condominium units. During the year ended December 31, 2005, there were no unit deliveries by the Company’s joint ventures which were winding down operations.

     The increase in interest and other income of $7.0 million for the 2005 year was primarily related to higher balances of interest-earning deposits at various financial institutions, a non-recurring contingent termination payment received from a previously dissolved partnership, and the reversal of a $6.8 million construction related obligation associated with certain future infrastructure development requirements in our Land Division. The total increase in these items of approximately $8.5 million was offset by the absence of a one time $1.4 million reduction of a litigation reserve which was recorded in 2004. The $1.4 million reduction of a litigation reserve was the result of our successful appeal of a 2002 judgment which reversed the damages awarded by the trial jury and ordered a new trial to determine damages. The litigation reserve was reduced based on our assessment of the potential liability.

     In the year ended December 31, 2006 the Homebuilding Division incurred a net loss of $8.9 million compared to net income of $22.2 million in 2005, primarily due to the previously described $36.8 million of homebuilding inventory impairment charges and inventory related valuation adjustments which were included in costs of sales. Increased cost of sales resulted in a gross margin of 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 20.8% in 2005. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2005, although we did write-off $467,000 in deposits. Excluding homebuilding inventory impairment charges, gross margin still would have declined from 20.8% in 2005 to 19.5% in 2006. The decline was associated with higher construction costs in 2006 compared to 2005, as well as a shift in geographic mix resulting in a higher proportion of units delivered from lower margin communities. Due to the Company’s

sales performance in Florida in 2004 and 2005 and production issues associated with our expansion, our delivery cycle in 2005 and 2006 extended beyond our 12-month target, and the number of homes we closed in 2006 declined 7.2% as compared to 2005. We have implemented changes to our organizational structure, production and operational practices in an attempt to shorten cycle times to enable us to deliver homes within 12 months. We believe that shorter delivery cycles will increase customer satisfaction and the productivity of our overall construction practices and reduce our vulnerability to rising costs.

     At December 31, 2006, our Homebuilding Division had a delivery backlog of 1,248 homes representing $438.2 million of future sales. The average sales price of the homes in backlog at December 31, 2006 of $351,000 is approximately 12.9% higher than the average sales price of the homes in backlog at December 31, 2005. This increase is attributable to the particular markets generating the backlog, and the Homebuilding Division’s current pricing, which has held consistent with the price increases implemented in 2005. We do not believe that we will be able to maintain these prices in 2007 due to current market conditions, and that more aggressive pricing will be necessary to generate future sales and reduce spec inventory. While we believe that our management team, information systems and practices and procedures have been effectively strengthened to allow us to compete in the current market, the condition in the homebuilding industry, adverse trends in the broader economy, continued inflationary pressures and labor shortages could adversely impact our Homebuilding Division in future periods. Our pricing of homes is limited by the current market demand, and the sales prices of homes in our backlog cannot be maintained. As such, we expect that the margins on the delivery of homes in 2007 will continue to reflect downward pressure.

     Our Homebuilding results reflect the deterioration of conditions in the homebuilding industry characterized by record levels of new and existing homes available for sale, reduced affordability and diminished buyer confidence. The slowdown in the housing market has led to increased sales incentives, increased pressure on margins, higher cancellation rates, increased advertising expenditures and broker commissions, and increased inventories. As a result, we expect our gross margin on home sales to be negatively impacted until market conditions, particularly in Florida, stabilize.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period

     Revenues from home sales increased 14.2% to $500.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, from $438.4 million during the same period in 2005. The increase is the result of an increase in average sale prices on home deliveries, which increased to $302,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $245,000 during the same period in 2005. Since our typical sale to delivery cycle lasts between 12 and 15 months, much of the increase in average sales price on deliveries was attributable to the price increases in 2005 which we were able to maintain through the first half of 2006. The increase in sales prices was partially offset by a decrease in the number of deliveries which declined to 1,660 homes during the year ended December 31, 2006 from 1,789 homes during the same period in 2005.

     The value of net orders decreased to $382.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, from $547.0 million during the same period in 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, net unit orders decreased to 1,116 units, from 1,767 units during the same period in 2005 as a result of reduced traffic and lower conversion rates as well as an increase in order cancellations. The decrease in net orders was partially offset by the average sales price increasing 10.3% during the year ended December 31, 2006 to $342,000, from $310,000 during the same period in 2005. Higher average selling prices are primarily a reflection of a reduction of the percentage of sales in our Tennessee operations which yielded lower average sales prices, as well as the price increases that were implemented in 2005 and maintained in the first half of 2006.

     Cost of sales increased $93.1 million to $440.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, from $347.0 million during the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of sales is due to the increase in revenue from home sales. In addition, the increase was due to impairment charges and inventory related valuation adjustments in the amount of $36.8 million. Cost of sales also increased due to higher construction costs related to longer cycle times and increased carrying costs.

     Margin percentage declined during the year ended December 31, 2006 to 12.1%, from 20.8% during the same period in 2005. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2005, although we did write-off $467,000 in deposits. Gross margin excluding inventory impairments was 19.5% compared to a gross margin of 20.8% for the same period in 2005. The decline was associated with higher construction costs in 2006 compared to 2005, as well as a shift in 2006 in geographic mix resulting in a higher proportion of units delivered from lower margin communities.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 35.6% to $77.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $57.4 million during the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits expense, recruiting costs, higher outside sales commissions, increased advertising, and costs of expansion throughout Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Employee compensation costs increased by approximately $4.8 million, from $28.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 to $33.4 million for the same period in 2006 mainly attributable to higher average headcount, which reached 645 employees as of June 30, 2006, before totaling 569 employees as of December 31, 2006. There were 574 employees at December 31, 2005. During the year we reduced headcount throughout the Homebuilding Division and in connection with these reductions we incurred charges for employee related costs, including severance and retention payments. Employee cost increases were offset in part by a reduction in incentive compensation in 2006 associated with the decrease in profitability in the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Selling costs were higher in 2006 by $11.8 million, primarily associated with higher broker commissions earned, increased sales expenses associated with efforts to attract buyers in a challenging homebuilding market and headcount associated with the expansion into new markets discussed above. Additionally, legal fees associated with litigation in our various locations increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was approximately 15.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 13.0% for the same period in 2005.

     Other expenses remained relatively unchanged increasing to $3.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 from $3.6 million in the same period in 2005 although the components of other expenses were different in 2005 and 2006. Other expenses in 2006 consisted of title and mortgage expenses and a write-off of goodwill in the amount of $1.3 million associated with our Tennessee operations. Other expenses in 2005 consisted of title and mortgage expenses, a $830,000 reserve recorded in 2005 to account for our share of costs associated with a litigation settlement, and hurricane expenses. Title and mortgage expense in 2006 remained unchanged compared to 2005.

     Interest incurred and capitalized on notes and mortgages payable totaled $29.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $12.1 million during the same period in 2005. Interest incurred increased as a result of an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings as well as a $145.4 million increase in our borrowings from December 31, 2005. Cost of sales of real estate associated with previously capitalized interest totaled $11.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2005.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Same 2004 Period

     The value of net orders increased to $547.0 million for 2005 from $427.9 million in 2004 as a result of higher average sales prices and an increased number of orders. Higher selling prices were primarily a reflection of the continued strength of the Florida market during the period and the shift in our Tennessee operations away from the first-time entry level buyer to a higher end customer. Net unit orders modestly increased to 1,767 units in 2005, from 1,679 units during 2004 as additional inventory became available for sale. Further, our expanded presence in Tennessee and Georgia contributed to new order flow. Construction starts declined in 2005 primarily due to the delayed sales and delayed scheduled construction cycles.

     Revenues from home sales decreased 7.2% to $438.4 million in 2005 from $472.3 million in 2004, due primarily to decreased home deliveries. While home deliveries in Tennessee increased to 451 units delivered from 343 units delivered during 2004, reflecting a full year of operations, home deliveries in Florida decreased to 1,338 units delivered from 1,783 units delivered during the same 2004 period. The

decrease in Florida deliveries was attributable to the lower backlog at December 31, 2004, an increased emphasis on quality and customer service which delayed closings, as well as a reduction in construction starts as discussed above. Construction cycle times generally improved, although some projects continued to experience subcontractor delays and project-related management issues.

     Cost of sales decreased by approximately 6.5% to $347.0 million in 2005 from $371.1 million in 2004. The decrease in cost of sales was attributable to fewer deliveries. Cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue was approximately 79.2% for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to approximately 78.6% for the year ended December 31, 2004. This slight increase was due primarily to increases in labor and raw material costs in 2005 and a higher percentage of homes sold in the Tennessee region, which produces lower margins than other regions and accounted for the higher cost of sales percentage. Deliveries in the Tennessee region represented 25.2% of 2005 total deliveries, compared with 16.1% in 2004. We shifted our strategy in Tennessee from acquiring finished lots for smaller subdivisions to acquiring and developing raw land for “signature communities” which resemble our communities in other regions.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13.0% to $57.4 million in 2005 from $50.8 million for 2004. In connection with our detailed operational and organizational review, we made significant expenditures during 2005 for infrastructure investment which we believed necessary to support growth objectives. Higher expenses were incurred as a result of the inclusion of Bowden expenses for the full year of 2005 compared with only eight months in 2004, and the higher costs associated with increased headcount and market expansion. As a percentage of total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expense was approximately 13.0% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 10.6% during the same 2004 period. The increase was specifically attributable to increased employee compensation and benefits costs associated with new hires in Central and South Florida, and the continued expansion of homebuilding activities into the Jacksonville, Atlanta, Myrtle Beach and Nashville markets, incurring administrative start-up costs, including advertising.

     Interest incurred and capitalized on notes and mortgages payable totaled $12.1 million during 2005, compared to $6.5 million incurred and $6.3 million capitalized during the same 2004 period. Interest incurred increased as a result of an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings and an increase in borrowings in 2005 associated with the Company’s purchases of land to replenish its inventory of homesites. At the time of a home sale, the related capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate during 2005 and 2004 included previously capitalized interest of $6.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

     The decrease in other expenses of $3.4 million was primarily attributable to certain non-recurring expenses recorded in 2004, including a charge of $3.9 million, net of insurance recoveries, to account for the costs of remediating hurricane related damage in the Company’s Florida operations. In 2005, the Homebuilding Division did not incur any hurricane related expense. For 2005, other expenses were comprised of mortgage operations expense and an additional reserve recorded for our share of costs associated with a litigation settlement reached in a matter in which we were a joint venture partner.

     The decrease in interest and other income in 2005 was primarily related to a $1.4 million reduction of a litigation reserve recorded in 2004 as a result of our successful appeal of a 2002 judgment. The appellate court reversed the damages awarded by the trial jury and ordered a new trial to determine damages. The litigation reserve was reduced based on the final settlement liability.

     We did not enter into any new joint venture development or other joint venture agreements in 2005. The decrease in earnings in joint ventures resulted primarily from the completion of unit deliveries in 2004 by a joint venture developing a condominium complex in Boca Raton, Florida. That joint venture delivered the final 146 condominium units during 2004. The final 4,100 square feet of commercial space in the project was delivered during the year ended December 31, 2005.

     Due to the nature and size of individual land transactions, our Land Division results are subject to significant volatility. We have historically realized between 40.0% and 60.0% margin on Land Division sales. However, in 2006 our margin percentage was 38.9%, which is indicative of the margin percentage we expect in the next 12-18 months based on current market conditions. Margins were higher in the past because of the St. Lucie West commercial land which generated higher margins. Margins will fluctuate based upon changing sales prices and costs attributable to the land sold, as well as the potential impact of revenue deferrals associated with percentage of completion accounting. The sales price of land sold varies depending upon: the location; the parcel size; whether the parcel is sold as raw land, partially developed land or individually developed lots; the degree to which the land is entitled; and whether the designated use of land is residential or commercial. The cost of sales of real estate is dependent upon the original cost of the land acquired, the timing of the acquisition of the land, and the amount of land development, interest and real estate tax costs capitalized to the particular land parcel during active development. Allocations to costs of sales involve management judgments and an estimate of future costs of development, which can vary over time due to labor and material cost increases, master plan design changes and regulatory modifications. Accordingly, allocations are subject to change based on factors which are in many instances beyond management’s control. Future margins will continue to vary based on these and other market factors.

     The value of acres subject to third party sales contracts decreased from $39.3 million at December

31, 2005 to $21.1 million at December 31, 2006. This backlog consists of executed contracts and provides an indication of potential future sales activity and value per acre. However, the backlog is not an exclusive indicator of future sales activity. Some sales involve contracts executed and closed in the same quarter and therefore will not appear in the backlog. In addition, contracts in the backlog are subject to cancellation.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period

     Revenues decreased 34.0% to $69.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, from $105.7 million during the same period in 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold 371 acres at an average margin of 38.9% as compared to 1,647 acres sold at an average margin of 52.0% for the same 2005 period. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a large bulk sale of land adjacent to Tradition, Florida consisting of a total of 1,294 acres for $64.7 million, which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2005. Included in the 371 acres sold in 2006 are 150 acres sold to the Homebuilding Division. Profits recognized by the Land Division from sales to the Homebuilding Division are deferred until the Homebuilding Division delivers homes on those properties to third parties, at which time the deferred profit is applied against consolidated cost of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Land Division’s sales to the Homebuilding Division amounted to $18.8 million, of which the $3.3 million profit was deferred at December 31, 2006, as compared to no sales between the divisions in the year ended December 31, 2005.

     The increase in other revenues from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $3.8 million for the same period in 2006 related to increased marketing fees associated with cooperative marketing agreements with homebuilders and lease and irrigation income.

     Cost of sales decreased $8.0 million to $42.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $50.7 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in cost of sales was directly related to the decrease in revenues from the Land Division in 2006. This decrease was slightly offset by an increase in cost of sales due to lower margin sales in 2006. The large bulk sale that took place in 2005, which represented the majority of the sales activity in 2005, generated higher than normal margins for the year ended December 31, 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue was approximately 61.1% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 48.0% for the same period in 2005.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 22.0% to $15.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, from $12.4 million during the same period in 2005. The increase primarily was a result of increases in compensation and other administrative expenses attributable to increased headcount in support of our expansion into the South Carolina market, and commercial development, commercial leasing and irrigation activities. Additionally we incurred increases in Florida property taxes, advertising and marketing costs, and depreciation associated with commercial projects being developed internally. These increases were slightly offset by lower incentive compensation associated with the decrease in profitability in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 20.5% during the year ended December 31, 2006, from 11.6% during the same period in 2005. The large variance is attributable to the large land sale that occurred in the year ended December 31, 2005 which resulted in a large increase in revenue without a corresponding increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to the fixed nature of many of the Land Division’s expenses.

     Interest incurred and capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $6.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable, as well as increases in the average interest rate on our variable-rate debt. Cost of sales of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2006 included previously capitalized interest of $443,000, compared to $743,000 during the same period in 2005.

     The decrease in interest and other income from $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $2.7 million for the same period in 2006 is related to a reversal of a construction related obligation recorded in 2005 in the amount of $6.8 million. This item was not present in 2006. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.3 million gain on sale of fixed assets and higher interest income generated by our

various interest bearing deposits.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Same 2004 Period

     Revenues from land sales increased 9.8% to $105.7 million in 2005 from $96.2 million in 2004. Margin on land sales in 2005 was approximately $55.0 million as compared to $53.4 million in 2004. During 2005, 1,647 acres were sold with an average margin of 52.0%, as compared to 1,212 acres sold with an average margin of 55.5% in 2004. The decline in average selling price per acre is attributable to the stage of entitlements of the parcels sold. We sold a greater percentage of undeveloped and unentitled land in 2005 relative to 2004. The decrease in margin is also attributable to the mix of acreage sold, with a decrease in commercial property sales at St. Lucie West. The margin percentage on the Tradition, Florida acreage tends to be lower due to the stage of the development and the higher proportion of residential sales (which generally have a lower margin) to commercial sales in the same period. While yielding a slightly lower margin percentage, the Land Division generated increased revenue which enhanced overall profitability. The most notable transaction during 2005 was the bulk sale for $64.7 million in the first quarter of five non-contiguous parcels of land adjacent to Tradition, Florida consisting of a total of 1,294 acres. During 2004, the Company sold 448 acres in Tradition, Florida to the Homebuilding Division which generated revenue of $23.4 million and margin of $14.4 million. This transaction, which is included in the above table for 2004, was eliminated in consolidation, and the associated profit was deferred. There were no land sales to the Homebuilding Division in 2005.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19.5% to $12.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $10.4 million for the same 2004 period. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat increasing to 11.6% in 2005 from 10.7% in 2004. The slight increase was due to increased headcount as the number of Land Division employees increased to 48 in 2005 from 35 as of December 31, 2004 largely associated with our expansion at both Tradition, Florida and Tradition, South Carolina.

     Interest incurred for 2005 and 2004 was approximately $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The increase in interest incurred was primarily due to an increase in outstanding borrowings related to acquisition of land for Tradition, South Carolina. During 2005, interest capitalized was approximately $2.8 million, as compared with $1.9 million for 2004. At the time of land sales, the related capitalized interest is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate for 2005 and 2004 included previously capitalized interest of approximately $743,000 and $87,000, respectively.

     The increase in other expenses was primarily attributable to a $677,000 pre-payment penalty on debt repayment incurred during the first quarter of 2005. We repaid indebtedness under a line of credit using a portion of the proceeds of the bulk sale described above.

     The increase in interest and other income of $7.2 million was primarily related to the reversal of certain accrued construction obligations. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we reversed approximately $6.8 million in accrued construction obligations. These accrued construction obligations were recorded as property was sold to recognize our obligations to comply with future infrastructure development requirements of governmental entities. The reversal of these construction obligations was the result of changes made to the infrastructure development requirements by such governmental entities for certain projects. All payments and obligations related to the infrastructure development requirements for these projects were fulfilled as of December 31, 2005.

     Other Operations include all other Company operations, including Levitt Commercial, Parent Company general and administrative expenses, earnings from our investment in Bluegreen and earnings (loss) from investments in various real estate projects and trusts. We currently own approximately 9.5 million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen, which represented approximately 31% of Bluegreen’s outstanding shares as of December 31, 2006. Under equity method accounting, we recognize our pro-rata share of Bluegreen’s net income (net of purchase accounting adjustments) as pre-tax earnings. Bluegreen has not paid dividends to its shareholders; therefore, our earnings represent only our claim to the future distributions of Bluegreen’s earnings. Accordingly, we record a tax liability on our portion of Bluegreen’s net income. Our earnings in Bluegreen increase or decrease concurrently with Bluegreen’s reported results. Furthermore, a significant reduction in Bluegreen’s financial position could potentially result in an impairment charge on our investment against our future results of operations. For a complete discussion of Bluegreen’s results of operations and financial position, we refer you to Bluegreen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period

     During the year ended December 31, 2006, Levitt Commercial delivered 29 flex warehouse units at two of its projects, generating revenues of $11.0 million as compared to 44 flex warehouse units in 2005, generating revenues of $14.7 million. Deliveries of individual flex warehouse units by Levitt Commercial generally occur in rapid succession upon the completion of a warehouse building. As of December 31, 2006 Levitt Commercial has one remaining flex warehouse project with a total of 17 units in the sales backlog which closed in the first quarter of 2007.

     Cost of sales of real estate in Other Operations includes the expensing of interest previously capitalized, as well as the costs of development associated with the Levitt Commercial projects. Interest in Other Operations is capitalized and amortized to cost of sales in accordance with the relief rate used in our operating segments. This capitalization is for Other Operations debt where interest is allocated to inventory in the other operating segments. Cost of sales of real estate decreased $871,000 from $12.5 million in the

year ended December 31, 2005 to $11.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The primary reason for the decrease in cost of sales is due to fewer sales at Levitt Commercial partially offset by increased cost of sales associated with previously capitalized interest related to corporate debt.

     Bluegreen reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 of $29.8 million, as compared to net income of $46.6 million for the same period in 2005. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, was $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2005.

     Selling, general and administrative expense increased 57.9% to $28.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, from $17.8 million during the same period in 2005. The increase is a result of higher employee compensation and benefits, recruiting expenses, and professional services expenses. Employee compensation costs increased by approximately $4.4 million from $7.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 to $11.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase relates to the increase in the number of full time employees to 63 at December 31, 2006 from 46 at December 31, 2005. Additionally, approximately $3.1 million of the increase in compensation expense was associated with non-cash stock-based compensation for which no expense was recorded in the same period in 2005. We experienced an increase in professional services due to non-capitalizable consulting services performed in the year ended December 31, 2006 related to our financial systems implementation. The system implementation costs and merger related costs did not exist in the year ended December 31, 2005. These increases were partially offset by decreases in bonus expense of approximately $1.0 million or 56.1% from the year ended December 31, 2005 due to decreased profitability.

     Interest incurred and capitalized on notes and mortgage notes payable totaled $7.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2005. The increase in interest incurred was attributable to an increase in junior subordinated debentures and an increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings. Cost of sales of real estate includes previously capitalized interest of $3.6 million and $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Those amounts include adjustments to reconcile the amount of interest eligible for capitalization on a consolidated basis with the amounts capitalized in our other business segments.

For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Same 2004 Period

     During the year ended 2005, Levitt Commercial delivered 44 flex warehouse units at two of its projects, generating revenues of $14.7 million as compared to 18 flex warehouse units in 2004, generating revenues of $5.6 million.

     We recorded $12.7 million of earnings relating to our ownership interest in Bluegreen during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     Bluegreen restated its financial statements for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 due to certain misapplications of GAAP in the accounting for sales of the Company’s vacation ownership notes receivable and other related matters. The restatement accounts for the sales of notes receivable as on-balance sheet financing transactions as opposed to off-balance sheet sales transactions as Bluegreen had originally accounted for these transactions. We recorded the cumulative effect of the restatement in the year ended December 31, 2005. This cumulative adjustment was recorded as a $2.4 million reduction of our earnings from Bluegreen and a $1.1 million increase in our pro-rata share of unrealized gains recognized by Bluegreen. These adjustments resulted in a $1.3 million reduction to our investment in Bluegreen.

     Selling, general and administrative and other expenses increased to $17.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $9.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2004. In 2005, we incurred professional fees associated with the organizational review of production and operational practices and procedures as previously discussed. Also contributing to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended 2005 were additional audit fees associated with Sarbanes Oxley. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is also attributable to increased compensation expense resulting from an increase from 22 employees in this segment at year end 2004 to 46 employees at year end 2005. The increased headcount was primarily related to parent company staffing in Human Resources, Project Management and administrative functions in preparation for our implementation of the Company’s strategic initiatives. In addition, incentives for all employees associated with achieving identified customer service goals were accrued in the fourth quarter of 2005. Finally, in the fourth quarter of 2005, we incurred expenses associated with several company-wide information meetings regarding the various organizational, information system, and operational changes scheduled to occur in 2005 and 2006.

     Losses from real estate joint ventures in 2005 were $35,000 as compared to $2.5 million of earnings in 2004. The earnings during 2004 were primarily related to the gain recognized by the sale of Grand Harbor, a rental apartment property in Vero Beach, Florida and earnings associated with the delivery of homes by a joint venture project in West Palm Beach, Florida. During 2005, the joint ventures in which this operating segment participates had essentially completed their operations and were winding down as discussed above.

     Interest incurred in other operations was approximately $4.4 million and $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in interest incurred was primarily associated with an increase in debentures at the parent company associated with our trust preferred securities offerings and an increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings. Interest capitalized for this business segment totaled $4.4 million and $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Those amounts include adjustments to reconcile the amount of interest eligible for capitalization on a consolidated basis with the amounts capitalized in our other business segments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     We are taking steps to address the current challenging residential real estate environment and are working to improve operational cash flows and increase our sources of financing. We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and other sources of funds, which may include proceeds from the disposition of certain properties or

investments, joint ventures, and issuances of debt or equity, will provide for our current liquidity.

     Our total assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $1.1 billion and $895.7 million, respectively. The increase in total assets primarily resulted from:

•

a net increase in inventory of real estate of approximately $210.8 million, which includes approximately $64.8 million in land acquisitions by our Homebuilding Division;

•

an increase of $34.4 million in property and equipment associated with increased investment in commercial properties under construction by our Land Division, support for infrastructure in our master planned communities, and $3.5 million in hardware and software acquired for our implementation of our new financial and operating system ;

•

a net increase of approximately $11.2 million in our investment in Bluegreen Corporation associated primarily with $9.7 million of earnings from Bluegreen (net of purchase accounting adjustments), $1.3 million from our pro rata share of unrealized gains associated with Bluegreen’s other comprehensive income and $287,000 associated with Bluegreen’s capital transactions; and

•

the above increases in assets were partially offset by a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $65.2 million, which resulted from cash used in operations and investing activities of $268.3 million, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by financing activities of $203.1 million.

     Total liabilities at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $747.4 million and $545.9 million, respectively. The material changes in the composition of total liabilities primarily resulted from:

•

a net increase in notes and mortgage notes payable of $176.8 million, primarily related to project debt associated with 2006 land acquisitions and land development activities;

•

an increase of $30.9 million in junior subordinated debentures ;

•

a decrease of $9.0 million in customer deposits due to a smaller backlog at December 31, 2006;

•

an increase of $18.5 million in accruals as a result of increased construction costs, accrued professional services related to our systems implementation and legal and valuation services accruals related to the proposed merger with BFC; and

•

a decrease in tax liability of approximately $7.0 million relating primarily to our pre-tax loss and the timing of estimated tax payments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investment activities. During the year ended December 31, 2006, our primary sources of funds were proceeds from the sale of real estate inventory, the issuance of trust preferred securities and borrowings from financial institutions. These funds were utilized primarily to acquire, develop and construct real estate, to service and repay borrowings and to pay operating expenses. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $48.3 million and $113.6 million, respectively. Our cash declined $65.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily as a result of our continued investment in inventory, principally in the Homebuilding Division, in combination with a decline in operating performance. The Company primarily utilized borrowings to finance the growth in inventory. Total debt increased to $615.7 million at December 31, 2006 compared with $407.8 at December 31, 2005. Debt to total capitalization increased from 53.8% to 64.2% during the same period.

     The downturn in the homebuilding industry combined with the timing of inventory acquisitions has increased our supply of land and substantially increased the amount of debt. We have substantially curtailed our acquisition of new land, and are closely monitoring expenditures for land development and community amenities in light of current market conditions. The majority of our Homebuilding inventory was purchased during the peak of the historic high demand in the homebuilding market cycle and remains vulnerable to future additional impairments should market conditions not improve. Additionally, demand for residential property in Florida, where the majority of our inventory is located, has declined

significantly, and we have experienced a record number of contract cancellations as customers have elected to forfeit their deposits and not fulfill their purchase commitments. We expect that pricing pressures will erode future margins as we attempt to improve sales through various sales incentives. We do not believe there is any meaningful evidence to suggest market conditions will improve in the near term.

     Due to current market conditions and the uncertain duration of the industry downturn, there is no assurance that operating cash flows will adequately support operations, and accordingly, we anticipate seeking additional capital. Sources for additional capital include proceeds from the disposition of certain properties or investments, joint venture partners, as well as issuances of debt or equity. In addition, as discussed in Item 1. –Business-Recent Developments, the decision to enter an agreement to merge with BFC Financial was predicated in part on the anticipated need for additional capital, and the recognition that BFC provides potential additional access to financial resources. The merger is subject to a number of conditions, including shareholder approval. In the event that the merger is not approved by shareholders, or not consummated for any other reason, it is our current intention to pursue a rights offering to holders of Levitt’s Class A common stock giving each then current holder of Levitt Class A common stock the right to purchase a proportional number of additional shares of Levitt Class A common stock. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully raise additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all.

     At December 31, 2006, our consolidated debt totaled $615.7 million under total borrowing facilities of up to $904.4 million, of which $527.7 was secured by various assets. Those loans are secured by mortgages on various properties. Approximately $70.4 million was available under the facilities at December 31, 2006 subject to qualifying assets and fulfillment of conditions precedent. The detail of debt instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows (in thousands):

     Operating Activities. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we used $240.1 million of cash in our operating activities, as compared to $132.5 million of cash used in such activities during 2005 and $78.9 million used in 2004. The net cash used in operations during fiscal 2006 was primarily the result of cash used to increase inventories in our Homebuilding segment, as well as a net loss for 2006 compared to net income during 2005. The net cash used in operations during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 was the result of cash provided from net income and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, offset by cash used to increase real estate inventory.

     The decision to fund additional inventory growth in the past few years was based on strong market demand and the need to replenish inventory in certain markets, as well as management’s decision to diversify into new markets. In addition to the costs of land acquisition, we incur significant land development expenditures to prepare the land for the construction of homes. In addition, many of the Homebuilding communities provide amenities to residents which include gated entryways, clubhouses, swimming pools and tennis courts. As a result, we incur significant costs which are not recovered until homes are delivered. Depending upon the size of the community, product type and ability to obtain permits

and required approvals from governmental authorities, the time between land acquisition and the delivery of the first completed home can take in excess of two years, exposing us to the volatility of demand in the homebuilding market. A reduction in sales activity results in a lower realized rate of return and a longer than anticipated breakeven period for cash flow, placing additional stress on the balance sheet as higher debt levels are maintained. The homebuilding market changed noticeably in early 2006 and further deteriorated throughout the year. The majority of our inventory is located in Florida, which is among many states experiencing challenges in the homebuilding industry associated with excess inventory supply and intense price competition. As a result, it is expected that Florida will lag the overall market recovery until supply is more aligned with market demand.

     In light of these challenging market conditions, we modified our land acquisition plans in 2006 and substantially curtailed our planned purchases of new land after the first quarter. Land acquired from third parties, the majority of which was outside the state of Florida, totaled $64.8 million in 2006, compared with $197.4 million in 2005. Our inventory growth in 2006 was primarily associated with land development and construction activities on land purchases made in 2005 as well as land acquisitions made in the first quarter of the year. We will continue to invest in our existing projects in 2007, many of which require further investment in land development, amenities including entryways and clubhouse facilities, as well as model homes and sales facilities. As a result, we are not expecting a meaningful decline in inventory during the year. At this time, no significant land purchases are contemplated in 2007 based on current market conditions.

     We also utilize deposits from customers who enter into purchase contracts to support our working capital needs. These deposits totaled $42.7 million at December 31, 2006 and represented 10% of our homebuilding backlog value. In comparison, deposits at year end 2005 were $51.7 million and represented 9% of our homebuilding backlog value. The decline in deposits reflects a reduction in the backlog, as well as a decision in late 2006 to reduce the required deposits in certain communities to 5% of base price, and tier the required deposits on selected options. In 2006, $2.7 million in deposits were retained by us as a result of forfeitures by buyers as cancellations grew compared with $77,000 in 2005. If we are unable to increase sales during the same period, the amount of deposits will decline as we deliver homes from backlog.

     Investing Activities. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, cash used in investing activities represented net purchases of property and equipment, primarily associated with commercial development activities and utility services at Tradition, Florida. In addition, we invested in new technology systems and capitalized related expenses for software, hardware and certain implementation costs. In 2004, we received distributions from a real estate joint venture for the Boca Grande project

     Financing Activities The majority of our financing needs are funded with cash generated from operations, secured financing principally through commercial banks, and Trust Preferred securities. We have also issued common equity in the public markets, and continue to evaluate various sources of capital from both public and private investors to ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to deal with the potential of a prolonged slowdown in the residential real estate markets where we operate. Cash provided through financing activities totaled $203.1 million in 2006, compared with $134.7 million in 2005 and $191.4 million in 2004.

     Certain of our borrowings require us to repay specified amounts upon a sale of portions of the property securing the debt. These amounts would be in addition to our scheduled payments over the next twelve months. While homes in backlog are subject to sales contracts, there can be no assurance that these homes will be delivered as evidenced by the escalation of our cancellation rates. Upon cancellation, such homes become spec units and are aggressively marketed to new buyers. Our borrowing base facilities include project limitations on the number and holding period, as well as the overall dollar amount of spec units, and accordingly, if that limitation is exceeded, the underlying assets no longer qualify for financing. In that event, our available borrowings are reduced, and depending upon that status of other qualifying assets in the borrowing base, we may be required to repay the lender prior to scheduled payment dates for funds advanced on that particular property. We communicate with our lenders regarding limitations on spec houses, and in the past have received increased spec allowances, but there can be no assurance we will

receive such flexibility in the future. Accordingly, our cash flow and liquidity would be adversely impacted should spec inventory continue to rise as a result of customer cancellations and we are unable to obtain waivers from our lenders.

     Certain of our borrowings may require additional principal payments in the event that sales and starts are substantially below those agreed to at the inception of the borrowing. There is no assurance that these additional principal payments will not be required. A curtailment schedule is established for each project when that project is included as a qualifying project under a borrowing base facility. The curtailment schedule specifies minimum debt pay downs based on projected construction starts. If the construction starts do not commence, we remain obligated to make the payments. Such obligations total $84.5 million in 2007. We periodically discuss these curtailment requirements as well as current market activity and revised project budgets with our lenders. If we are unable to meet required construction starts and are not able to defer or eliminate curtailment requirements, significant additional funds will be needed to meet the required debt payments.

     Some of our subsidiaries have borrowings which contain covenants that, among other things, require the subsidiary to maintain financial ratios, including minimum working capital, maximum leverage and minimum net worth. These covenants may have the effect of limiting the amount of debt that the subsidiaries can incur. At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all loan agreement financial covenants. There can be no assurance we will remain in compliance in the future should the homebuilding market remain in a prolonged downturn. Noncompliance with financial covenants may result in pressure on earnings and cash flow, and the risk of additional impairments. The risk of additional impairments could adversely impact the subsidiary’s net worth which would require additional capital from the parent and restrict the payment of dividends from that subsidiary to the parent.

     On each of January 24, 2006, April 26, 2006, August 1, 2006, October 23, 2006 and January 22, 2007 our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.02 per share on our Class A common stock and Class B common stock. These dividends were paid in February 2006, May 2006, August 2006, November 2006 and February 2007, respectively. The Board has not adopted a policy of regular dividend payments. The payment of dividends in the future is subject to approval by our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot give assurance that we will declare additional cash dividends in the future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

     In connection with the development of certain of our communities, we establish community development districts to access bond financing for the funding of infrastructure development and other projects within the community. If we were not able to establish community development districts, we would need to fund community infrastructure development out of operating income or through other sources of financing or capital. The bonds issued are obligations of the community development district and are repaid through assessments on property within the district. To the extent that we own property within a district when assessments are levied, we will be obligated to pay the assessments as they are due. As of December 31, 2006, development districts in Tradition, Florida had $50.4 million of community development district bonds outstanding and we owned approximately 36% of the property in those districts. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded approximately $1.7 million in assessments on property we owned in the districts. These costs were capitalized to inventory as development costs and will be recognized as cost of sales when the assessed properties are sold to third parties.

     We entered into an indemnity agreement in April 2004 with a joint venture partner at Altman Longleaf, relating to, among other obligations, that partner’s guarantee of the joint venture’s indebtedness. Our liability under the indemnity agreement is limited to the amount of any distributions from the joint venture which exceeds our original capital and other contributions. Accordingly, our potential obligation of indemnity was approximately $664,000 at December 31, 2006. Based on the joint venture assets that secure the indebtedness, we do not believe it is likely that any payment will be required under the indemnity agreement.

     The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006 (in thousands):
