Bluegreen Corporation

The following is a discussion of the operations of Bluegreen for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same quarter in 2013. Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and management company focused on the vacation ownership industry.

Q1 2014 Overview:

Bluegreen’s system-wide sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”), which include sales of VOIs made in connection with Bluegreen’s capital-light business(1)as well as sales of VOIs made under its traditional, or Legacy, VOI business model, increased 21% to $109.9 million compared to $90.7 million during the same period in 2013.

Total sales of VOIs made in connection with Bluegreen’s capital-light business model totaled $77.9 million compared to $37.1 million during the same period in 2013. The amount of Bluegreen’s sales which are made through the capital-light business model as compared to Bluegreen’s Legacy business model will vary based on Bluegreen’s operational needs.

Bluegreen earned income from continuing operations of $17.2 million compared to $14.9 million for the same period in 2013.

Bluegreen’s Adjusted EBITDA rose 13% to $33.8 million. See table below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations.

Bluegreen generated “free cash flow” (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) of $10.9 million compared to $9.8 million during the same period in 2013.

Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 of $135.0 million.

Bluegreen paid dividends of $14.5 million to Woodbridge during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

(1)

Bluegreen’s sales of VOIs under its capital-light business model includes sales of VOIs under fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, just-in-time inventory acquisition arrangements, and secondary market arrangements.

Mr. John M. Maloney Jr., President and CEO of Bluegreen, commented, “We are proud of our first quarter results, including the growth in system-wide sales of VOIs. We believe that this growth was fueled by increases in sales tours and sale-to-tour conversion ratios. We also continued to successfully implement our capital-light business model, with growth in all of its components:

Sales of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements totaled $42.1 million and $29.4 million during Q12014 and Q12013, respectively, and generated sales and marketing commissions of $27.1 million and $18.9 million, respectively.

Sales of inventory under Just-In-Time arrangements, which commenced during 2013, totaled $16.8 million during Q1 2014 compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2013.

Sales of inventory under Secondary Market arrangements totaled $19.0 million during the first quarter of 2014 compared to $5.9 million in the same period in 2013.

Other fee-based revenue rose 14% to $22.0 million in Q1 2014. As of March 31, 2014, Bluegreen managed 47 timeshare resort properties compared to 44 as of March 31, 2013.

System-wide sales of VOIs, net were $109.9 million and $90.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The growth in system-wide sales of VOIs, net during the 2014 period reflects a 7% increase in the number of tours and a 4% increase in the sale-to-tour conversion ratio. The increase in the number of tours reflects efforts to expand marketing to sales prospects through new marketing initiatives and increased sales to existing owners, which comprised 59% of sales in Q1 2014. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014, Bluegreen’s sale-to-tour conversion ratio was 18.5% compared to 17.8% during the same period in 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, cost of VOIs sold was $7.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, and represented 12% and 11%, respectively, of sales of VOIs. Compared to the cost of Bluegreen’s Legacy VOI inventory, VOIs acquired through Just-In-Time arrangements typically have a relatively higher associated product cost while those acquired in connection with Secondary Market arrangements typically have a lower product cost, as Secondary Market inventory is generally obtained from resort property owners associations

selling the VOIs to Bluegreen at a significant discount. The effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of project sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis during the period in which the change occurs. Therefore, cost of sales will typically be favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of Secondary Market VOI inventory is acquired and the resulting change in estimate is recognized.

As a percentage of system-wide sales, net, selling and marketing expenses decreased from 50% to 48%. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of system-wide sales, net during the 2014 period compared to the same period in 2013 was a result of the higher conversion rate described above, as well as a slightly higher percentage of sales to existing owners (58.8% and 58.3% during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively). Bluegreen currently expects to continue to focus on increasing its marketing efforts to new customers as opposed to existing owners and, as a result, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales may increase.

NET INTEREST SPREAD:

Net interest spread is the excess of interest income over interest expense. Net interest spread decreased by 8% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013. Net interest spread during the 2014 period reflected increased interest expense as a result of higher average outstanding debt balances primarily related to the $75 million of notes payable issued by Bluegreen on March 26, 2013, partially offset by lower costs of borrowing under Bluegreen’s other debt.

	Franchise Taxes		44	52
	Depreciation and Amortization		1,708	1,618
Adjusted EBITDA		$	33,800	30,001

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings, or income from continuing operations, before taking into account long-term executive compensation, interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable), provision for income taxes and franchise taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of Bluegreen’s business.

We consider Bluegreen’s Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of its operating performance, and it is used to measure Bluegreen’s ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

the resale market for VOIs could adversely affect Bluegreen’s business;

Bluegreen is subject to the risks of the real estate market and the risks associated with real estate development, including the decline in real estate values and the deterioration of other conditions relating to the real estate market and real estate development;

results of audits of Bluegreen’s tax returns or those of its subsidiaries may have a material and adverse impact on Bluegreen’s financial condition;

fraud or undetected material errors in financial reporting may negatively impact Bluegreen’s reputation and may result in financial loss;

the loss of the services of Bluegreen’s key management and personnel could adversely affect Bluegreen’s business; and

Bluegreen’s success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

With respect to BBX Capital, the risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

the impact of economic, competitive and other factors affecting BBX Capital and its subsidiaries, including their respective markets, products and services, decreases in real estate values, and increased unemployment or sustained high unemployment rates on its business generally, the ability of BBX Capital’s borrowers to service their obligations and the value of collateral securing outstanding loans;

credit risks and loan losses, and the related sufficiency of BBX Capital’s allowance for loan losses, including the impact of the economy and real estate market values on BBX Capital’s assets and the credit quality of its loans;

the impact of and expenses associated with litigation, including but not limited to, the pending action brought by the SEC against BBX Capital and its Chairman;

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 risks associated with the impact of periodic valuations of BBX Capital’s assets for impairment;

the risks related to BBX Capital’s ability to successfully implement its current business plans, which may not be realized as anticipated, if at all, or which may not be profitable, including BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, the success of which will be dependent on the results of Bluegreen;

the risks that the assets retained by BBX Capital in CAM and FAR may not be monetized at the values currently ascribed to them, and that BBX Capital’s investments in real estate developments, real estate joint ventures and operating businesses, including BBX Capital’s investment in Woodbridge, its acquisitions of Hoffman’s and Williams and Bennett, and its acquisition with BFC of Renin Corp., as well as any acquisitions or investments that BBX Capital may make in the future may not achieve the returns anticipated or may not be profitable;

the risk that BBX Capital’s investments in real estate developments and real estate joint ventures will increase its exposure to downturns in the real estate and housing industries and expose it to risks, including that joint venture partners may be financially unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under joint venture agreements requiring BBX Capital to provide financial support;

failure of third party suppliers and manufacturers to provide quality products on commercially reasonable terms could adversely affect the businesses of Renin and Hoffman’s, and BBX Capital’s investment in Renin exposes it to foreign currency exchange risk of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar and Britain Pound; and

BBX Capital’s success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

Reference is also made to the risks and uncertainties detailed in reports filed by the Company with the SEC, including the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which may be viewed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on BFC’s website at www.BFCFinancial.com.

BBX Capital’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Alan B. Levan, commented, “We are pleased with the results and momentum during the quarter. Since the sale of BankAtlantic in July 2012, we have been repositioning our business, monetizing our legacy portfolios, and pursuing our goal of transitioning our legacy business into a growth business by focusing on real estate opportunities and operating businesses. We invite our readers to review the BBX Capital

Corporate Overview filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2014, which is available to view on the BBX Capital website: www.BBXCapital.com. In that document we discussed our corporate strategy, but more importantly we discussed who we are and how we are approaching our business:

“First, our culture is entrepreneurial. Our objective is to make portfolio investments based on the fundamentals: quality real estate, the right operating companies and partnering with good people.

“Second, our goal is to increase value over time as opposed to focusing on quarterly or yearly earnings. Since we expect our investments to be longer term, we anticipate and are willing to accept that our earnings are likely to be uneven. While capital markets generally encourage short term goals, our objective is long term growth as measured by increases in book value per share over time.”

The following provides financial and other information regarding our assets, including our BankAtlantic legacy portfolio of loans and foreclosed real estate, our investment in Bluegreen, and our real estate joint ventures and acquired operating businesses.

BBX Capital - Legacy Assets - Loans and Real Estate:

Assets transferred to BBX Capital in connection with the consummation in July 2012 of the sale of BankAtlantic to BB&T Corporation (referred to as the “BB&T Transaction”), were primarily loans receivable, real estate held-for-sale and real estate held-for-investment, as well as assets owned by BBX Capital in its BBX Capital Partners subsidiary. These assets transferred are considered our “Legacy Assets”. These Legacy Assets are held by BBX Capital in CAM (Capital Asset Management) and BBX Partners, which are wholly owned subsidiaries, and in FAR (Florida Asset Resolution Group). FAR was formed in connection with the BB&T Transaction when BankAtlantic contributed to FAR certain performing and non-performing loans, tax certificates and foreclosed real estate. Upon consummation of the BB&T Transaction, BBX Capital transferred to BB&T Corporation a 95% preferred interest in the net cash flows of FAR until such time as BB&T Corporation has recovered $285 million in preference amount plus a priority return of LIBOR + 200 basis points per annum on any unpaid preference amount. At that time, BB&T Corporation’s interest in FAR will terminate, and the Company will thereafter be entitled to any and all residual proceeds from FAR as its sole owner. At March 31, 2014, BB&T Corporation’s preference amount had been reduced to $54.5 million.

BBX Capital Real Estate Activities

Our real estate activities, including the BankAtlantic legacy loan and foreclosed real estate portfolios, fall under the umbrella of BBX Capital Real Estate, a Division of BBX Capital. As previously announced, we are liquidating some legacy real estate while holding and managing others for capital appreciation and development. We are also pursuing new real estate development opportunities, unrelated to the legacy portfolios.

We are actively engaged in real estate development and operation activities involving real estate obtained through foreclosure and real estate purchased from third parties, including land entitlement activities, property renovations, asset management, and pursuing joint venture opportunities involving the contribution of these properties and/or cash investments in joint ventures with third party development partners.

The Company had investments in the following joint ventures as of March 31, 2014:

Kendall Commons: In March 2013, the Company sold land to Altman Development (“Altman”), a third party real estate developer, for net proceeds of $8.0 million. Altman contributed the land to a joint venture to develop the property as a multifamily rental development of 12 three-story apartment buildings, one mixed-use building and one clubhouse totaling 321 apartment units, and the Company then invested $1.3 million of cash in the joint venture project as one of a number of investors. The development is currently under construction and scheduled to begin leasing during the third quarter of 2014. The Company is entitled to receive 13% of joint venture distributions until a 15% internal rate of return has been attained and then the Company will be entitled to receive 9.75% of any joint venture distributions thereafter.

North Flagler: In October 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture with JRG USA pursuant to which JRG USA assigned to the joint venture a contract to purchase for $10.8 million a 4.5 acre parcel overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach Florida and the Company invested $0.5 million of cash. The joint venture is seeking to expand land entitlements and is currently working to amend the current zoning designation and increase the parcel’s residential height restrictions with a view to increasing the value of the parcel. The Company is entitled to receive 80% of any joint venture distributions until it recovers its capital investment and then will be entitled to receive 70% of any joint venture distributions thereafter. The entitlement process is currently estimated to be concluded in 2015.

The Company also owns a 2.7 acre parcel located adjacent to the 4.5 acre parcel which is the subject of the contract held by the North Flagler joint venture. The 2.7 acre parcel was acquired by the Company through foreclosure and had a carrying value of $3.2 million as of March 31, 2014. We believe that the value of this parcel will increase if the density is increased by the municipality’s approval of the zoning changes referenced in the preceding paragraph.

PGA Design Center Holdings, LLC: In December 2013, the Company purchased for $6.1 million a commercial property in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with three existing buildings consisting of 145,000 square feet of mainly furniture retail space. The property, which is located in a larger mixed use property now known as PGA Place, was substantially vacant at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition of the property, the Company entered into a joint venture with Stiles Development which acquired a 60% interest in the joint venture for $2.9 million in cash. The Company contributed the property (excluding certain residential development entitlements having an estimated value of $1.2 million) to the joint venture in exchange for $2.9 million in cash and the remaining 40% interest in the joint venture. The Company transferred the retained residential development entitlements to adjacent parcels owned by it in PGA Place (see below for a discussion of the other parcels owned by the Company in PGA Place). The joint venture intends to seek governmental approvals to change the use of a portion of the property from retail to office and subsequently sell or lease the property.

The following development projects are currently in the planning stages and involve real estate held-for-investment included in the above CAM and BBX Partners real estate table.

Gardens at Millenia: Gardens at Millenia consists of 37 acres of land located in a commercial center of Orlando, Florida with a carrying value of $11.2 million as of March 31, 2014. This site is currently in the planning process and the final size and density of the project is subject to governmental approvals and other conditions. The proposed plans for 26 acres of this site include a 300,000 square foot retail shopping center with multiple big-box and in-line tenants as well as four outparcel retail pads. The Company is in discussions with a potential joint venture partner to develop a portion of the 26 acre parcel. Current plans for the remaining 11 acres of this site include 9 buildings of rental apartments totaling approximately 280 units, a clubhouse, lakeside pavilion, lakeside running trail, and a dog park. The Company is in discussions with a potential joint venture partner to develop the 11 acre parcel.

Hialeah Communities: Hialeah Communities consists of 114 acres of land located in Hialeah, Florida with a carrying value of $30.7 million as of March 31, 2014. This site is currently in the final stages of master planning to divide the property into three parcels and the plan remains subject to receipt of governmental approvals. The anticipated plans for the three parcels include the following:

An approximate 50 acre parcel is currently planned to include approximately 340 single-family homes, a clubhouse, park, and lake. The Company is in discussions with a potential joint venture partner to develop this parcel.

An approximate 50 acre parcel is currently planned to include approximately 400 single-family homes. The Company currently has a contract to sell this parcel to a third party developer, subject to receipt of entitlements, and due diligence by the third party.

Plans for the remaining 14 acre parcel include 14 multifamily buildings totaling approximately 314 rental apartment units, a clubhouse, pool and park. The Company is in discussions with a potential joint venture partner to develop this parcel.

PGA Place: The Company owns an office building and land located in PGA Place, in the city of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with carrying values aggregating $14.5 million as of March 31, 2014. The property held by the PGA Design Center Holdings joint venture described above is also located in PGA Place. We believe this property presents a variety of development opportunities, including the opportunity being pursued by the PGA Design Center Holdings joint venture discussed above and the following development opportunities, some of which are currently in the planning stages and remain subject to receipt of government approvals.

Office- This mixed use property includes a 33,000 square foot commercial leased office building that is currently 56% occupied with an attached 428 space parking garage. The Company is currently seeking governmental approvals for a 140 room limited-service suite hotel, a 5,000 square foot freestanding restaurant and a 50,000 square foot office building on vacant tracts of land adjacent to this office building. We anticipate partnering with a third party developer to develop all or a portion of these components of the project.

Multi-family - Current plans for the 7-acre multifamily parcel include approximately 300 apartment units, a clubhouse and spa, and lakeside pavilion. The Company is in discussions with a potential joint venture partner to develop this parcel.

Village at Victoria Park: Village at Victoria Park consists of approximately 2 acres of vacant land located near downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida with a carrying value of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2014. In December 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with New Urban Communities to develop the project as 30 single-family homes. The project is a 50% joint venture, with New Urban Communities serving as the developer and manager. In April 2014, the joint venture executed an acquisition, development and construction loan with a financial institution and the Company and New Urban Communities each contributed an additional $692,000 to the joint venture as a capital contribution. The joint venture purchased the vacant land from the Company for $3.6 million consisting of $1.8 million in cash (less $0.2 million in selling expenses) and a $1.6 million promissory note. The $1.6 million promissory note is secured by a junior lien on the vacant land and future improvements. The project is currently scheduled to commence construction and sales in the second quarter of 2014. Closings are projected to begin by the third quarter of 2015.

BBX Capital Partners - Investment and Acquisitions:

BBX Capital, through its BBX Capital Partners Division, is actively engaged in investments in operating companies. Our goal at BBX Capital is to diversify our platform so that a meaningful percentage of our assets and income will be derived from operating businesses. It is our objective that the investments and acquisitions sourced by BBX Capital Partners will diversify our overall company risk profile and contribute more consistent cash flows and earnings over time.

The following is a summary of the Company’s operating businesses:

Bluegreen Corporation: On April 2, 2013, BBX Capital acquired a 46% interest in Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”). BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”), BBX Capital’s Parent company, owns the remaining 54% of Woodbridge. Woodbridge’s principal asset is its 100% ownership of Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net income attributable to Woodbridge was $13.5 million, of which $14.2 million related to the operations of Bluegreen. BBX Capital recognized 46% of the net income attributable to Woodbridge, or $6.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

In 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, Bluegreen paid cash dividends of $47.0 million and $14.5 million, respectively, to Woodbridge. Woodbridge paid cash dividends of $44.3 million and $13.9 million, respectively, to its members during 2013 and April 1, 2014, which were distributed pro rata to BBX Capital and BFC based on their percentage ownership interests in Woodbridge, BBX Capital (46%) and BFC (54%).

Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and management company focused on the vacation ownership industry. Bluegreen markets, sells and manages vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) in resorts, which are generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, and were either developed or acquired by Bluegreen or developed and owned by others, in which case Bluegreen earns fees for providing these services. Bluegreen operates today with more than 60 owned or managed resorts, 180,000 owners of VOIs and 4,000 employees.

Bluegreen generates revenues from the sales of VOIs in its resorts (“Legacy Business Model”) and from fee-based sales and services on behalf of third parties under Bluegreen’s “capital-light” business strategy. Bluegreen’s capital-light business strategy consists of the following:

Fee-Based Sales and Marketing Arrangements: Under the arrangements, Bluegreen sells third party VOIs as Bluegreen Vacation Club interests through its distribution network of sales offices typically on a non-committed basis.

Just-In-Time Arrangements: Agreements with third party developers allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory from time to time in close proximity to the time of when Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs.

Secondary Market Arrangements: Formal program to acquire VOI inventory from resorts’ property owner associations (“POAs”) and other third parties on a non-committed basis, in close proximity to the time when Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Such VOIs are typically

obtained by the POAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults, and are generally acquired by Bluegreen at a significant discount.

Other Fee-Based Services: Bluegreen also earns fees for providing management services to the Bluegreen Vacation Club and to certain POAs.

Bluegreen Highlights for the First Quarter, 2014

Legacy VOI sales were $32.0 million

Secondary market VOI sales were $19.0 million

Just-in-time VOI sales were $16.8 million

This press release 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 press release 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. We can give 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 the control of management. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the impact of economic, competitive and other factors affecting the Company and its assets, including the impact of decreases in real estate values or sustained high unemployment rates on our business generally, the ability of our borrowers to service their obligations and the value of collateral securing our loans; credit risks and loan losses, and the related sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses, including the impact of the economy and real estate market values on our assets and the credit quality of our loans; the risk that loan losses will continue and the risks of additional charge-offs, impairments and required increases in our allowance for loan losses; the impact of and expenses associated with litigation including but not limited to litigation brought by the SEC; adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other financial and credit markets and the impact of such conditions on our activities; the risk that the assets retained by the Company in CAM and FAR may not be monetized at the values currently ascribed to them; and the risks associated with the impact of periodic valuation of our assets for impairment. In addition, this press release contains forward looking statements relating to the Company’s ability to successfully implement its currently anticipated business plans, which may not be realized as anticipated, if at all, and the Company’s investments in real estate developments, real estate joint ventures and operating businesses may not achieve the returns anticipated or may not be profitable, including the Company’s investment in Woodbridge and its acquisitions of Hoffman’s, Williams & Bennett and Renin Corp. The Company’s investments in real estate developments, either directly or through joint ventures, will increase exposure to downturns in the real estate and housing markets and expose us to risks associated with real estate development activities and the risk that our joint venture partners may not fulfill their obligations. The Company’s investment in Woodbridge, which owns Bluegreen Corporation, exposes the Company to risks inherent in the time-share industry, which risks are identified in BFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 17, 2014 with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. The Company’s acquisition of Hoffman’s, Williams & Bennett and Renin Corp. exposes us to the risks of Renin’s, Hoffman’s and Williams & Bennett’s businesses, which in the case of Renin includes foreign currency exchange risk of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar and Great Britain Pound, as well as the risk that the integration of these operating businesses may not be completed effectively or on a timely basis, and that the Company may not realize any anticipated benefits or profits from the transactions. 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 reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.

Supplemental Financial Data and Reconciliation of Woodbridge’s Income from Continuing Operations to Bluegreen’s Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 - Unaudited

(in thousands)


Consolidated Woodbridge income from continuing operations	$	16,530
Less:
Parent only (Woodbridge) loss from continuing operations		632
Bluegreen income from continuing operations		17,162
Plus/(Less):
Long-term executive compensation		1,105
Interest income (other than interest earned on VOI notes receivable)		(290)
Interest expense		11,050
Interest expense on receivable-backed debt		(6,124)
Provision for income taxes		9,145
Franchise taxes		44
Depreciation and amortization		1,708
Adjusted EBITDA	$	33,800

Bluegreen’s Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Bluegreen’s earnings, or income from continuing operations, before taking into account its long-term executive compensation, interest income (excluding interest earned on Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable), provision for income taxes and franchise taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because Bluegreen considers both to be part of its business operations.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of Bluegreen’s operating performance, and it is used to measure Bluegreen’s ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. It is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
