BBX CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

 



1.  Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation  BBX Capital Corporation together with its subsidiaries is referred to herein as “BBX Capital”, “we”, “us,” or “our” and is referred to herein without its subsidiaries as “BBX Capital Corporation”. BBX Capital is a Florida-based company involved in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of and investments in real estate and real estate development projects as well as operating businesses.  Prior to the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T Corporation (“BB&T”) on July 31, 2012, BBX Capital was a bank holding company and its principal asset was the ownership of BankAtlantic.  The principal assets of BBX Capital currently consist of its 46% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), investments in real estate joint ventures, legacy loans and real estate assets transferred to BBX Capital in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic and its acquired businesses

In April 2013, BBX Capital acquired a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”).  Woodbridge’s principal asset is its ownership of Bluegreen Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bluegreen”). Bluegreen manages, markets and sells the Bluegreen Vacation Club, a points-based, deeded vacation ownership plan with more than 190,000 owners.  BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”), the controlling shareholder of BBX Capital, owns the remaining 54% of Woodbridge (see Note 2 - Investment in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC). 

In October 2013, Renin Holdings, LLC (“Renin”), a joint venture owned 81% by BBX Capital and 19% by BFC, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Renin Corp. (“the Renin Transaction”).  Renin manufactures interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products. Renin is headquartered in Canada and has two manufacturing, assembly and distribution facilities in Canada and the United States.

In December 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital, BBX Sweet Holdings, LLC, acquired Hoffman’s Chocolates (“Hoffman’s”).  Hoffman’s had total assets of $7.2 million as of March 31, 2016 and aggregate revenues of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.  Hoffman’s is a manufacturer of gourmet chocolates, with retail locations in South Florida.   



Subsequent to January 2014, BBX Sweet Holdings acquired manufacturers in the chocolate and candy industries serving wholesalers, boutique retailers, big box chains, department stores, national resort properties, corporate customers and private label brands.  The companies acquired were Williams and Bennett, Helen Grace Chocolates (“Helen Grace”), Jer’s Chocolates (“Jer’s”), Anastasia Confections (“Anastasia”) and Kencraft Confections, LLC (“Kencraft”).  The wholesale manufacturing companies acquired had aggregate total assets of $28.5 million as of March 31, 2016 and total aggregate revenues during the year ended December 31, 2015 of $22.5 million. 

BBX Capital has two classes of common stock. Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, which in the aggregate represents 53% of the combined voting power of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock. Class B common stock represents the remaining 47% of the combined vote. The percentage of total common equity represented by Class A and Class B common stock was 99% and 1%, respectively, at March 31, 2016.  The fixed voting percentages will be eliminated, and shares of Class B common stock will be entitled to only one vote per share from and after the date that BFC or its affiliates no longer own in the aggregate at least 97,523 shares of Class B common stock (which is one-half of the number of shares it now owns). Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a share for share basis at any time at BFC’s discretion.

   

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



In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) as are necessary for a fair statement of BBX Capital's condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at March 31, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the condensed consolidated statements of total equity and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the subsequent interim periods during 2016 or for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to BBX Capital by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to issue common shares were exercised or restricted stock units of BBX Capital were to

vest. In calculating diluted earnings per share, net income attributable to BBX Capital is divided by the weighted average number of common shares. Options and restricted stock units are included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding based on the treasury stock method, if dilutive.  During the three months ended March 31, 2016, options to acquire 7,016 shares of Class A common stock and 1,429,152 of restricted stock units were anti-dilutive.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, options to acquire 15,481 shares of Class A common stock were anti-dilutive.



Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements



As of January 1, 2016, BBX Capital adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Number 2015-03 –– Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs as amended by ASU 2015-15.  ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs related to recognized debt liabilities to be presented in the statement of financial condition as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than an asset. However, ASU 2015-03 also permits presentation of debt issuance costs on line-of-credit arrangements as assets.  Accordingly, as of March 31, 2016, approximately $33,000 of deferred debt issuance costs was presented as a direct deduction within Notes Payable on BBX Capital's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Additionally, BBX Capital reclassified $36,000 of deferred debt issuance costs from Other Assets to Notes Payable as of December 31, 2015.  Debt issuance costs for line-of-credit arrangements of $282,000 and $306,000 were included in other assets in BBX Capital’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.



As of January 1, 2016, BBX Capital adopted ASU 2015-02 – Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (Topic 810):  ASU 2015-02 update changed the manner in which a reporting entity assesses one of the five characteristics that determines if an entity is a variable interest entity.  In particular, when decision-making over the entity’s most significant activities has been outsourced, the update changes how a reporting entity assesses if the equity holders at risk lack decision making rights.  The update also introduces a separate analysis specific to limited partnerships and similar entities for assessing if the equity holders at risk lack decision making rights.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 did not have a material impact on BBX Capital’s consolidated financial statements.



New Accounting Pronouncements:



The FASB has recently issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to BBX Capital’s operations. (See BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for accounting pronouncements issued prior to March 31, 2016 relevant to BBX Capital’s operations):



Accounting Standards Update Number 2016-09 –– Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  This update simplifies various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within the reporting period.  Early adoption is in any interim or annual period.  BBX Capital is currently evaluating the requirements of this update and has not yet determined the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.



Accounting Standards Update Number 2016-07 –– Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) – Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. This update eliminates retroactive adjustments for an investment that qualifies for the use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest associated with an existing investment.  The amendment requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest to the current investment and adopt the equity method on the date that the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted.  BBX Capital is currently evaluating the requirements of this update and has not yet determined the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.



Accounting Standards Update Number 2014-09 –  Revenue Recognition (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is intended to improve the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle based approach.  It also requires disclosures designed to enable readers of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  Further, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), and in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (Topic 606). These updates clarify implementation guidance on the related topic.  The accounting guidance updates will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP.  The standard was to be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of this update for all entities by one year.  Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim

2.    Investment in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC



On April 2, 2013, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. The investment was made in connection with Woodbridge’s acquisition on April 2, 2013 of the publicly held shares of Bluegreen. BFC holds the remaining 54% of Woodbridge’s outstanding equity interests and is the majority member of Woodbridge. Since BFC is the majority owner of Woodbridge, BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge is accounted for under the equity method.  In connection with BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, BBX Capital and BFC entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Woodbridge, which sets forth BBX Capital’s and BFC’s respective rights as members of Woodbridge and provides, among other things, for unanimity on certain specified “major decisions” and for distributions to be made on a pro rata basis in accordance with BBX Capital’s and BFC’s percentage equity interests in Woodbridge.

Impaired Loans -  Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, BBX Capital believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructured agreement.  Impairment is evaluated based on past due status for consumer and residential loans.  Impairment is evaluated for commercial and small business loans based on past payment history, financial strength of the borrower or guarantors, and cash flow associated with the collateral or business.  If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is established, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing interest rate or based on the fair value of the loan. Collateral dependent impaired loans are charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell. Interest payments on

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



BBX Capital had no commitments to lend additional funds on impaired loans as of March  31, 2016.







6.  Real Estate Held-for-Investment and Real Estate Held-for-Sale



BBX Capital’s real estate has been acquired through foreclosures, settlements, or deeds in lieu of foreclosure.  Upon acquisition, real estate is classified as real estate held-for-sale or real estate held-for-investment. Real estate is classified as held-for-sale when the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, management commits to a plan to sell the property, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, the property is being marketed at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and it is likely that a sale will be completed within one year. When the property does not meet the real estate held-for-sale criteria, the real estate is classified as held-for-investment.

As disclosed in Note 2, on April 2, 2013, BBX Capital invested $71.75 million in Woodbridge in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge. The investment was made in connection with Woodbridge’s acquisition of the publicly held shares of Bluegreen. BFC holds the remaining 54% of Woodbridge.  BBX Capital contributed $60 million in cash and issued to Woodbridge an $11.75 million note payable in connection with BBX Capital’s acquisition of its 46% equity interest in Woodbridge.  During September 2015, in connection with the settlement of the Bluegreen shareholder litigation, the $11.75 million Woodbridge note payable was paid-in-full.  During the three month periods ended March  31,  2016 and 2015,  BBX Capital recognized $0 and $147,000, respectively, of interest expense in connection with the Woodbridge note payable.



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

(2)  Average was computed by dividing the aggregate appraisal amounts by the number of appraisals.



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



Loans Measured For Impairment



Impaired loans are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell as the majority of BBX Capital’s loans are collateral dependent. The fair value of BBX Capital’s loans may significantly increase or decrease based on changes in property values as BBX Capital’s loans are primarily secured by real estate.  BBX Capital primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring non-homogenous impaired loans and broker price opinions to assist in measuring homogenous impaired loans. The appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an estimate of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral, and BBX Capital may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, BBX Capital uses its judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. As a consequence, the calculation of the fair value of the collateral is considered a Level 3 input. BBX Capital generally recognizes impairment losses based on third party broker price opinions when impaired homogenous loans become 120 days delinquent. These third party valuations from real estate professionals also use Level 3 inputs in determining fair values. The observable market inputs used to fair value loans include comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties, risk adjusted discount rates and foreclosure time frames and exposure periods.

Real Estate Held-for-Sale and Held-for-Investment



Real estate is generally valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation techniques and use market observable data to formulate an estimate of the fair value of the properties. The market observable data typically consists of comparable property sales, rent rolls, market capitalization rates on income producing properties and risk adjusted discount rates.  The above inputs are considered Level 3 inputs as the appraiser uses professional judgement in the calculation of the fair value of the properties.



Loans Held-for-Sale



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

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



Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented by delinquency categories.



The fair value of loans is calculated by using an income approach with Level 3 inputs.  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate and credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Management assigns a credit risk premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on delinquency status.  The fair value of collateral dependent loans is estimated using an income approach with Level 3 inputs utilizing the fair value of the collateral adjusted for operating and selling expenses and discounted over the estimated holding period based on the market risk inherent in the property.  



The fair value of notes payables and principal and interest advances on residential loans were measured using the income approach with Level 3 inputs obtained by discounting the forecasted cash flows based on estimated market rates.

11.  Commitments and Contingencies



BBX Capital guarantees certain obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Sunrise and Bayview Partners, LLC joint venture owned 50% by Procacci Bayview, LLC and 50% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital refinanced its land acquisition loan with a financial institution.  BBX Capital provided the financial institution with a guarantee of 50% of the outstanding balance of the joint venture’s loan which had an outstanding balance of $5.0 million as of March  31, 2016.

In July 2014, BBX Capital entered into the Hialeah Communities joint venture with CC Bonterra to develop approximately 394 homes in a portion of the newly proposed Bonterra community in Hialeah, Florida. BBX Capital transferred approximately 50 acres of land at an agreed upon value of approximately $15.6 million subject to an $8.3 million mortgage which was assumed by the joint venture.  In March 2015, the joint venture refinanced the $8.3 million mortgage loan as part of a $31.0 million acquisition and development loan.  BBX Capital is a guarantor of 26.3% of the joint venture’s $31.0 million acquisition and development loan.

BBX Capital is a guarantor on the $5.3 million Anastasia note payable.  The Anastasia note payable is also secured by the common stock of Anastasia.



On August 7, 2015, BBX Sweet Holdings entered into a Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements, with Iberiabank, which provides for borrowings by BBX Sweet Holdings of up to $5.0 million on a revolving basis.  The outstanding balance of the Iberiabank notes payable was $5.0 million as of March 31, 2016.  The facility is secured by the assets of BBX Sweet Holdings and its subsidiaries and is guaranteed by BBX Capital.

The outstanding balance of the Hoffman’s Centennial Bank notes payable was $1.6 million.  BBX Sweet Holdings and BBX Capital are guarantors of this note, which is secured by $2.1 million of properties and equipment.

In connection with the Kencraft acquisition, BBX Sweet Holdings issued a $400,000 note payable to the seller.  BBX Capital is the guarantor on this note payable.



BBX Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its collections, lending and prior period tax certificate activities. Although the BBX Capital believes it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of litigation and the ultimate resolution are uncertain and inherently difficult to predict.



Reserves are accrued for matters in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving these legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for these claims.  There were no reserves accrued as of March 31, 2016.



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



BBX Capital believes that liabilities arising from litigation discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, are not expected to have a material impact on the BBX Capital’s financial statements. However, due to the significant uncertainties involved in these legal matters, BBX Capital may incur losses in excess of accrued amounts and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to the BBX Capital’s consolidated financial statements.    



The discussion below does not include litigation relating to companies which are not consolidated into our financial statements, including Woodbridge and Bluegreen. 



The following is a description of certain ongoing or recently concluded litigation matters:  



Securities and Exchange Commission Complaint 



On January 18, 2012, the SEC brought an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against BBX Capital and Alan B. Levan, BBX Capital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, alleging that they violated securities laws by not timely disclosing known adverse trends in BBX Capital’s commercial real estate loans, selectively disclosing problem loans and engaging in improper accounting treatment of certain specific loans which may have resulted in a material understatement of its net loss in BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 2007. Further, the complaint alleges that Mr. Alan B. Levan intentionally misled investors in related earnings calls. The Court denied summary judgment as to most issues, but granted the SEC’s motion for partial summary judgment that certain statements in one of Alan Levan’s answers on a July 25, 2007 investor conference call were false.



On December 15, 2014, after a six-week trial, the jury found in favor of BBX Capital and Alan B. Levan with respect to the disclosures made during an April 2007 earnings conference call and in BBX Capital’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2007 first and second quarters, but found that they had engaged in an act of fraud or deceit toward shareholders or prospective investors by making materially false statements knowingly or with severe recklessness (1) with respect to three statements in the July 25, 2007 conference call referenced above, and (2) in their decision to sell certain loans in the fourth quarter of 2007 and failing to classify the loans as held-for sale in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The jury also found that Mr. Levan made or caused to be made false statements to the independent accountants regarding the held for sale issue.



The SEC sought a final judgment: (i) permanently barring Alan B. Levan from serving as an officer or director of any SEC reporting company; (ii) imposing civil penalties of $5.2 million against BBX Capital and $1.56 million against Alan B. Levan; and (iii) permanently restraining BBX Capital and Alan B. Levan from violating securities lawsOn September 24, 2015, the court entered a final judgment denying the SEC’s request for a permanent bar from Mr. Levan serving as an officer or director of any public company, but instead ordered Mr. Levan barred from serving as an officer or director of any public company for a period of two years commencing on December 23, 2015.  The court also imposed monetary penalties against the BBX Capital in the amount of $4,550,000 and monetary penalties against Mr. Levan in the amount of $1,300,000BBX Capital and Mr. Levan are appealing the final judgment to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.  As a result of the court's decision, on December 23, 2015 Mr. Levan resigned as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBX Capital, as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BFC, and as a director of BBX Capital and BFC.  



On January 14, 2015, the Company received notice from its insurance carrier that, based upon its interpretation of the jury verdict in this action, the carrier does not believe it is obligated to advance further payments towards fees and costs incurred in connection with this action and that it reserves its right to obtain reimbursement of the amounts it previously advanced with respect to this action.  BBX Capital has received legal fee and cost reimbursements from its insurance carrier in connection with this action of approximately $5.8 million.



New Jersey Tax Sales Certificates Antitrust Litigation

 

On December 21, 2012, plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in an existing purported class action filed in Federal District Court in New Jersey adding BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CAM, among others as defendants.  The class action complaint is brought on behalf of a class defined as “all persons who owned real property in the State of New Jersey and who had a Tax Certificate issued with respect to their property that was purchased by a Defendant during the Class Period at a public auction in the State of New Jersey at an interest rate above 0%.”  Plaintiffs alleged that beginning in January 1998 and at least through February 2009, the Defendants were part of a statewide conspiracy to manipulate interest rates associated with tax certificates sold at public auction from at least January 1, 1998, through February 28, 2009. During this period, Fidelity Tax was a subsidiary of BankAtlantic.  Fidelity Tax was contributed to CAM in connection with the sale of BankAtlantic in the BB&T Transaction. BBX Capital and Fidelity Tax filed a Motion to Dismiss in March 2013 and on October 23, 2013, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the Amended Complaint with prejudice as to certain claims, but without prejudice as to plaintiffs’ main antitrust claim.  Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint on January 6, 2014.  While BBX Capital believed the claims to be without merit, BBX Capital reached an agreement to settle the action, subject to court approval. The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court and the fairness hearing was held on April 25, 2016, during which the Court reserved decision on final approval.

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



The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of BBX Capital and its subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2016. 



This document contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. All opinions, forecasts, projections, future plans or other statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and may include words or phrases such as “plans,” “believes,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “our view,” “we see,” “would” and words and phrases of similar import. The forward looking statements in this document are also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and involve substantial risks and uncertainties. There is no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Future results could differ materially as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of management’s control.



These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

·

the impact of economic, competitive and other factors affecting BBX Capital and its assets, including the impact of decreases in real estate values on BBX Capital’s business, the value of BBX Capital’s assets, the ability of BBX Capital’s borrowers to service their obligations and the value of collateral securing BBX Capital’s loans;

·

the risk of loan losses and the risks of additional charge-offs, impairments and required increases in BBX Capital’s allowance for loan losses and trade receivables;

·

the adverse impact of and expenses associated with litigation including the risk that BBX Capital’s insurance carrier seeks to obtain reimbursement of the amounts it previously advanced to BBX Capital in connection with the action brought by the SEC against BBX Capital and Alan B. Levan, BBX Capital’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,  that the decision, verdict or remedy ordered by the court in such action will not be reversed on appeal, and the impact that the loss of service of Mr. Alan Levan as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer may have on BBX Capital;

·

adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other financial and credit markets and the impact of such conditions on BBX Capital’s activities;

·

the risk that the assets retained by BBX Capital as part of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T may not be monetized at the values currently ascribed to them and the risks associated with the impact of periodic valuation of BBX Capital’s assets for impairment.    



In addition, this document contains forward looking statements relating to BBX Capital’s ability to successfully implement its currently anticipated business plans, which may not be realized as anticipated, if at all, and BBX Capital’s current and anticipated investments in operating businesses may not achieve the returns anticipated or may not be profitable, including the risks associated with:

·

BBX Capital’s investment in Bluegreen (through Woodbridge),

·

BBX Sweet Holdings’ acquisition of Hoffman’s, Williams & Bennett, Jer’s Chocolates, Helen Grace Chocolates, Anastasia Confections and Kencraft, and

·

BBX Capital’s investment with BFC in Renin.



This document also contains forward looking statements relating to BBX Capital’s investments in real estate developments, either directly or through joint ventures.  These risks include:

·

exposure to downturns in the real estate and housing markets;

·

exposure to risks associated with real estate development activities;

·

risks associated with obtaining necessary zoning and entitlements;

·

risks that BBX Capital’s joint venture partners may not fulfill their obligations, and

·

risks that the projects will not be developed as anticipated or be profitable. 



BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, which owns Bluegreen Corporation, exposes BBX Capital to:

·

risks relating to Bluegreen’s business and Bluegreen’s ability to pay dividends to Woodbridge and in turn Woodbridge’s ability to pay dividends to BBX Capital, and

·

risks inherent in the vacation ownership industry, including risks associated with regulatory compliance and customer complaints and other risks which are identified in BFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2016 with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. 



27


 

BBX CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

BBX Sweet Holdings acquisitions and BBX Capital’s acquisition of the assets of Renin Corp exposes BBX Capital to the risks of their respective businesses, which include:

·

the amount and terms of indebtedness associated with the acquisitions which may impact BBX Capital’s financial condition and results of operations and limit BBX Capital’s activities;

·

the failure of the companies to meet financial covenants and that BBX Capital may be required to make further capital contributions or advances to the acquired companies;

·

the risk that the businesses acquired by BBX Capital may not be profitable;

·

the risk that the integration of these operating businesses may not be completed effectively or on a timely basis;

·

the risk that BBX Capital may not realize any anticipated benefits or profits; and

·

Renin’s operations expose BBX Capital to foreign currency exchange risk of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar and Great Britain pound. 



Past performance and perceived trends may not be indicative of future results.  In addition to the risks and factors identified above, reference is also made to other risks and factors detailed in BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2015.  BBX Capital cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive. 



Critical Accounting Policies

Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of BBX Capital’s financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, including the valuation of collateral dependent loans, the valuation of loans held-for-sale, the impairment of long-lived assets including amortizable intangible assets, real estate held-for-sale and held-for-investment, the determination of lower of cost or market for inventories, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a business, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for uncertain tax positions and accounting for contingencies. The three accounting policies that BBX Capital has identified as critical accounting policies are allowance for loan losses, inventory reserves and impairment of long-lived assets. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see “Critical Accounting Policies” appearing in BBX Capital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

BBX Capital’s Business Strategy

Since the sale of BankAtlantic in July 2012, BBX Capital has been repositioning its business, monetizing its legacy portfolios of loans and real estate, and pursuing its goal of transitioning into a growth business by focusing on real estate opportunities and acquiring operating businesses. 

The majority of BBX Capital’s assets do not generate income on a regular or predictable basis. Recognizing the nature of BBX Capital’s assets, BBX Capital’s goal is to build long-term value as opposed to focusing on quarterly or annual earnings.  While capital markets generally encourage short term results, BBX Capital’s objective continues to be long term growth as measured by increases in book value per share over time. Further, BBX Capital does not expect to generate significant revenue from the legacy BankAtlantic assets until the assets are monetized through repayments or transactions involving the sale, joint venture or development of the underlying real estate. BBX Capital is currently utilizing the cash flow from the monetization of its assets and dividends from Woodbridge to pay operating expenses and to invest in income producing real estate, real estate developments, real estate joint ventures and operating businesses. While there is no assurance it will be successful, BBX Capital is seeking to manage its cash needs and the timing of monetizing its existing assets with new investments to maximize its returns. In some cases, this may involve immediate sale and in other cases a longer term hold or development (either directly or through a joint venture).  BBX Capital may also consider transactions involving its investments in operating businesses, including Renin and BBX Sweet Holdings, and BBX Capital may in connection with BBX Capital’s investment with BFC in Woodbridge pursue transactions involving Bluegreen, either directly or indirectly through a transaction involving Woodbridge, to monetize all or a portion of BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge.  Such transactions may include pursuing a future sale or spin-off of a company or other transactions involving public or private issuances of a company’s debt or equity securities which might result in the ownership of less than 100% of an entity.  BBX Capital is also engaged in land entitlement activities and land development projects on certain properties that BBX Capital acquired through foreclosure. These projects have included or may include in the future selling or leasing the improved properties to third parties or entering into joint ventures with developers for the development of residential and commercial real estate projects involving the contribution of properties by BBX Capital as well as potential

cash investments in projects.  BBX Capital has also pursued potential investments in joint venture real estate projects that include real estate held by a joint venture partner or property acquired from unrelated parties.  As a result of the substantial decline in real estate values during the recession, the majority of BBX Capital’s non-performing commercial real estate loans and foreclosed real estate were written down in prior periods to the then prevailing estimated fair values of the collateral less costs to sell.  BBX Capital has seen significant improvements generally in real estate markets and believes that the prior estimated fair values of the underlying collateral securing certain of BBX Capital’s commercial real estate loans and BBX Capital’s real estate carrying values may be below current market values.  Additionally, the recovery in the real estate market has favorably affected the financial condition of BBX Capital’s borrowers and BBX Capital is aggressively pursuing its borrowers and/or guarantors in order to maximize recoveries through cash settlements, loan workout arrangements or participation interests in the development or performance of the collateral.  If BBX Capital is successful in its efforts, BBX Capital expects to recognize gains to the extent that the amounts it collects exceed the carrying value of its commercial loans and foreclosed real estate and expect that these gains will be reflected in an increase in BBX Capital’s shareholders’ equity in the long term.  Due to the nature of these activities however, BBX Capital does not expect to generate revenues or earnings on a predictable or consistent basis.  Accordingly, BBX Capital expects the results of its operations to vary significantly on a quarterly basis and BBX Capital may experience losses in future periods.  



Consolidated Results of Operations

BBX Capital conducts its operations through three reportable segments, BBX, Renin and Sweet Holdings



BBX Reportable Segment - The BBX reportable segment consists of the activities associated with managing the commercial loan portfolio, real estate properties and portfolio of charged off loans retained as part of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T and managing BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge and investments in real estate joint ventures. 



Renin Reportable Segment  The Renin reportable segment consists of the activities of Renin Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Renin”).  Renin manufactures interior closet doors, wall décor, hardware and fabricated glass products and its distribution channels include big box and independent home improvement retailers, builders, other manufacturers and specialty retail outlets primarily in North America. Renin is headquartered in Brampton, Ontario and has two manufacturing, assembly and distribution facilities located in Brampton, Ontario and Tupelo, Mississippi.  BBX Capital owns 81% of Renin and BFC owns the remaining 19%.



Sweet Holdings Reportable Segment - The Sweet Holdings reportable segment consists of the activities of acquired operating businesses in the candy and confection industry including the activities of Hoffman’s, Jer’s, Williams & Bennett, Helen Grace, Anastasia and Kencraft for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the activities of Hoffman’s, Williams & Bennett, Jer’s, Helen Grace and Anastasia, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Summary Results of Operations – BBX Reportable Segment



The decrease in BBX reportable segment’s income before provision for income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from $2.1 million and $1.0 million of lower recoveries from loan losses and asset recoveries, respectively.   The above reductions in BBX reportable segment’s income were partially offset by $932,000 of increased equity in earnings of Woodbridge, higher total revenues of $551,000 and $595,000 of lower selling, general and administrative expenses.    

The lower recoveries from loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period reflect a decline in recoveries from the charged-off loan portfolio.

The decline in asset recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from lower recoveries on foreclosed assets.

The increase in equity in earnings of Woodbridge for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period reflects higher net income at Bluegreen.     

The increased total revenues reflects a $252,000 increase in interest income resulting primarily from higher payoffs of non-accruing loans and loan discount amortization as well as $159,000 of increased revenues from a public storage operating facility that was acquired through foreclosure in April 2013.

The reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 quarter resulted primarily from $1.7 million of lower professional fees partially offset by $880,000 of increased compensation expenses.  The decline in professional fees reflects higher fees associated with the SEC civil action during the 2015 quarter as well as lower accounting and consulting fees.  The increase in compensation costs resulted mainly from share-based compensation, new hires and annual salary increases and bonuses.

Summary Results of Operations – Renin Reportable Segment



The $916,000 improvement in Renin’s income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from gains in foreign currency exchange, increased trade sales and an improvement in the gross margin percentage. 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, Renin recognized a $210,000 foreign exchange gain compared to a foreign exchange loss of $469,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  These foreign exchange gains and losses resulted from valuation changes in the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar.

Renin’s trade sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $13.8 million compared to $13.5 million for the comparable 2015 quarter.  The increase in trade sales was mainly due to the higher sales of hardware products partially offset by the discontinuation of the wall décor product with a major customer. The improvement in the gross margin percentage resulted primarily from increased sales of higher margin hardware products compared to lower margin wall décor products. 

Summary Results of Operations – Sweet Holdings Reportable Segment



Revenues of the Sweet Holdings reportable segment are highly seasonal with approximately 40% of total revenues expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter. It is anticipated that the financial results of the Sweet Holdings reportable segment will vary significantly on a quarterly basis.  Further, as indicated below, expenses are being incurred at the Sweet Holdings reportable segment in connection with the opening of additional retail stores and the consolidation of the operations of acquired businesses. It is anticipated that the segment will continue to experience losses as it continues to consolidate operations and expand its retail footprint.



The increase in the Sweet Holdings segment’s loss before benefit for income taxes of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from on-going costs to integrate companies acquired during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 and higher compensation expense related to the hiring of industry professionals and employee severance.  Also contributing to higher selling, general and administrative expenses were costs associated with Hoffman’s retail store expansion.

BBX Capital transferred approximately 14 acres of land at an agreed upon value of approximately $9.4 million and cash of $7.5 million to the joint venture.  BBX Capital is entitled to receive 95% of the joint venture distributions until it receives its aggregate capital contributions plus a 9% per annum return on capital.  Any distributions thereafter will be shared 85% by BBX Capital and 15% by Altman.  The project commenced construction during the first quarter of 2016.   



PGA Station

BBX Capital owns land located in the newly named PGA Station, in the city of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with carrying values aggregating $8.5 million as of March 31, 2016.  The property held by the PGA Design Center Holdings joint venture described above is adjacent to PGA Station.  BBX Capital believes this property presents a variety of development opportunities, some of which are currently in the planning stages and remain subject to receipt of government approvals.   BBX Capital is currently seeking governmental approvals for a 111 room limited-service suite hotel and approximately 190,000 square feet of office buildings on vacant tracts of land.

Total Revenues

The increase in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from higher payoffs of non-accruing loans and loan discount amortization. Included in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $50,000 of interest income recognized on advances to Sweet Holdings compared to $44,000 for the same 2015 period.  The interest income from Sweet Holdings was eliminated in consolidation. 

The (losses) gains on the sales of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 resulted primarily from the sale of residential properties. 

33


 

BBX CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Income from real estate operations consisted of rental income from foreclosed properties.  The higher rental income reflects increased occupancy rates for two student housing facilities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period.

Other revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2016 consisted mainly of $414,000 of income from a public storage operating facility that was acquired through foreclosure in April 2013, $101,000 of office facilities revenues from BFC for use of its office space and $106,000 of management fees recognized from Sweet Holdings. The Sweet Holdings management fees were eliminated in consolidation.

Other revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015 consisted mainly of $256,000 of income associated with a public storage operating facility, $98,000 of office facilities revenues from BFC and $91,000 of  management fees from Sweet Holdings.

Total Costs and Expenses

Real estate operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 represent real estate holding costs, including repairs, taxes and insurance, associated with real estate acquired through foreclosure.  The decline in real estate operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from lower repair costs. 

Recoveries from Loan Losses

Recoveries from loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted primarily from guarantor settlements on charged off commercial loans and recoveries from the charged off loan portfolio. Recoveries from commercial loan settlements and the charged off loan portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $983,000 and $559,000, respectively.

 Recoveries for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 resulted primarily from $3.0 million of recoveries from the charged off loan portfolio and $581,000 of recoveries from charged off commercial real estate loans.

Asset Recoveries



Asset recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted primarily from $221,000 of net recoveries from residential loans and $109,000 of tax certificate recoveries.  The residential loan recoveries were associated with short sales and foreclosures.  The foreclosure recoveries reflect that the fair value of the properties less costs to sell was higher than the recorded investment of the foreclosed loans as real estate values appreciated subsequent to the charging down of the loans.  The above recoveries were partially offset by $293,000 of impairments on two properties. The impairment on the two properties reflects updated valuations based on executed sales contracts.   



Asset impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2015 resulted primarily from $1.0 million of recoveries upon foreclosure and $0.4 million of a net reduction in loans held for sale valuation allowances partially offset by $0.3 million of real estate impairments due to updated valuations and reductions of listing prices.



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The $595,000 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from a $1.7 million reduction in professional fees partially offset by $880,000 of higher compensation costs. The decrease in professional fees relate to lower accounting and consulting fees as well as a decrease in legal fees associated with the SEC civil action. The decline in accounting fees reflects lower audit costs. The decrease in consulting fee reflects costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 in connection with BFC’s tender offer for the purchase of BBX Capital Class A Common Stock. The increased compensation costs was primarily the result of higher share based compensation associated with the issuance of restricted stock units in September 2015 and higher salaries and bonuses. The higher salaries were due mainly to new hires.

Equity in Earnings of Woodbridge

BBX recognized equity in earnings of Woodbridge during the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $6.7 million, compared to $5.8 million during the comparable 2015 period.  Woodbridge’s earnings consisted primarily of the operations of Bluegreen.

34


 

BBX CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Bluegreen’s net income was $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $16.0 million during the comparable 2015 period. The higher Bluegreen 2016 net income resulted primarily from increased sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) sold on behalf of third parties on a commission basis and higher commissions earned on these commission based sales during the 2015 period. The increase in VOIs commission based sales resulted primarily from an increase in the number of tours.  Bluegreen’s management believes that the increase in tours mainly resulted from efforts to expand marketing initiatives to new sales prospects as well as expanded marketing programs targeting existing owners.  The increase in sales was partially offset by higher selling and marketing expenses associated with these marketing initiatives.  Sales to existing owners generally involve lower marketing expenses than sales to new prospects.  Bluegreen expects to continue to increase its focus on sales to new prospects as well as the new program for owner sales and, as a result, sales and marketing expenses may continue to increase.



Equity in Net Losses of Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

BBX recognized equity in net losses of unconsolidated joint ventures of $342,000 and $304,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The unconsolidated real estate joint ventures are generally real estate joint ventures that develop properties for residential and commercial use.  The joint ventures are currently in the entitlement and construction phases and the losses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 mainly represent marketing and management fees.

Trade sales increased and the gross margin percentage improved for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period due mainly to higher sales of hardware products. The increase in trade sales was partially offset by the discontinuation of the wall décor product with a major customer. The improvement in the gross margin percentage resulted primarily from increased sales of higher margin hardware products compared to lower margin wall décor products. 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, Renin experienced higher selling, general and administrative expenses associated with hiring new management level employees as well as increased consulting and maintenance expenditures to enhance the product development cycle and improve manufacturing efficiencies. Renin’s new members of management include its CEO hired in June 2015 and a Vice President of Sales hired in September 2015. The above increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were offset by lower distributions costs and a decline in selling expenses. 

The foreign currency exchange gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 resulted from increases or decreases in value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar.

The increase in trade sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from the acquisition of Kencraft on April 1, 2015.  Kencraft had $1.3 million of trade sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016. 

The lower gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period resulted primarily from a higher percent of wholesale trade sales compared to retail trade sales during the 2016 periods.  The majority of Sweet Holdings acquisitions subsequent to September 30, 2014 were manufacturers selling to wholesale customers. Trade sales to wholesale customers typically have lower gross margins than trade sales to retail customers. 



The higher selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same 2015 period reflects operating expenses associated with Kencraft, on-going costs to integrate companies acquired during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 and higher compensation expense related to the hiring of industry professionals and employee severance.  Also contributing to higher selling, general and administrative expenses was higher marketing, advertising, compensation and occupancy costs associated with Hoffman’s retail store expansion initiatives.  Further, expenses are being incurred at the Sweet Holdings reportable segment in connection with the opening of additional retail stores and the consolidation of the operations of acquired businesses. It is anticipated that the segment will continue to experience losses as the segment incurs expenses associated with these activities and the continued growth of the segment.

BBX Capital Consolidated Financial Condition

BBX Capital’s total assets as of March 31, 2016 were $392.1 million compared to $393.5 million as of December 31, 2015.  The changes in the components of total assets from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 are summarized below:

·

Decrease in cash resulting primarily from the repayment of short term liabilities and operating losses partially offset by loan repayments and additional borrowings, 

·

Decrease in restricted cash associated with land development activities,

·

Lower loans receivable and loans held-for-sale balances due to $4.1 million of loan repayments and $826,000 of loans transferred through foreclosure to real estate held-for-sale,  

·

Higher trade receivables due to increased Renin trade receivables associated with sales volume in March 2016,

·

Increase in real estate held-for-investment due primarily to land development,      

·

Increase in real estate held-for-sale primarily from $826,000 of real estate acquired through foreclosure partially offset by real estate sales,  

·

Decrease in investment in real estate joint ventures reflecting $342,000 of equity losses partially offset by $180,000 of additional capital contributions and $121,000 of capitalized interest,  

·

Increase in investment in Woodbridge reflecting $6.7 million of equity in earnings partially offset by $4.2 million of dividends,

·

Increase in properties and equipment associated with the opening of Hoffman stores and BBX Capital’s corporate headquarters renovations,

·

Increase in inventory associated primarily with Renin, 

·

Decrease in other intangible assets resulting primarily from amortization, and

·

Increase in other assets associated with a $371,000 investment in equity securities.  

BBX Capital's total liabilities at March  31, 2016 were $54.9 million compared to $57.5 million at December 31, 2015.  The changes in the components of total liabilities from December 31, 2015 to March  31, 2016 are summarized below:

·

Increase in notes payable associated with additional borrowings at Renin, and

·

Decrease in other liabilities relating to the payment of annual bonuses.



Liquidity and Capital Resources 

BBX Capital’s current assets at March 31, 2016 consisted of cash, inventory and trade receivables aggregating $77.5 million. This does not include $20.3 million of current assets held in Renin.  BBX Capital had $10.7 million of current liabilities as of March 31, 2016. This does not include $10.3 million of current liabilities of Renin.  BBX Capital’s principal sources of liquidity are its cash holdings, funds obtained from scheduled payments on loans, loan recoveries, sales of its loans, loan payoffs, sales of real estate held-for-sale, income from income producing real estate, revenues from BBX Sweet Holdings’ operations and distributions received from Woodbridge.  Management believes that BBX Capital has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.



BBX Capital expects that it will receive dividends from time to time from its 46% ownership interest in Woodbridge. Distributions must be declared by Woodbridge and approved in advance by both BFC and BBX Capital.  Dividends from Woodbridge will be dependent on and subject to Bluegreen’s results of operations, cash flows and business of Bluegreen, as well as restrictions contained in Bluegreen’s debt facilities.  As a consequence, BBX Capital may not receive dividends from Woodbridge consistent with prior periods or in the time frames or amounts anticipated, or at all. BBX Capital may also receive funds from BFC in connection with its tax sharing agreement to the extent BFC utilizes BBX Capital’s tax benefits in BFC’s consolidated tax return.  BBX Capital also expects to obtain funds in subsequent periods from cash flows on its loans, real estate and investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.  BBX Capital also may seek to obtain funds through borrowings or the issuance of equity securities. BBX Capital anticipates utilizing these funds for general corporate purposes, including selling, general and administrative expenses, loan servicing costs, real estate operating expenses, Renin and BBX Sweet Holdings operating expenses and, to the extent of available liquidity, to pursue its business strategy of investing, directly or through joint ventures, in real estate (which may include the acquisition and/or development of real estate) and operating businesses.  BBX Sweet Holdings currently intends to continue to pursue acquisitions in the candy and confections industry.



A significant source of BBX Capital’s liquidity is the liquidation of loans and real estate, recoveries from the charged off loan portfolio, cash proceeds from the contribution of properties to real estate joint ventures and dividends from Woodbridge.  During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the proceeds from principal repayments of loans and sales of real estate were approximately $4.1 million and $830,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the

37


 

BBX CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Company received $4.2 million of dividends from Woodbridge. There is no assurance that BBX Capital will realize proceeds from these sources in future periods in similar amounts or on similar timeframes.



BBX Capital’s real estate activities include hiring property managers to operate income producing properties, making protective expenditures (including the payment of property taxes) in an effort to maintain the value of properties and undertaking the zoning and entitlement, development or improvement of properties to position the properties for sale, or potential joint venture arrangements.
