6 3/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES DUE 2006
The 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2006 (the "Debentures")
of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "BBC") will mature on July 1,
2006 and will accrue interest at the rate of 6 3/4% per annum from the date of
delivery. The Debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity, unless
previously redeemed, into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company at a
conversion price of $16 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of 62.5
shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures), subject to adjustment in
certain events. On June 25, 1996, the last sale price of the Class A Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market (symbol: BANCA) was $13.875 per share. The
Class A Common Stock has no voting rights other than as may be required by
Florida law. See "Description of Capital Stock".
Interest on the Debentures is payable semiannually in arrears on each
January 1 and July 1, commencing January 1, 1997. The Debentures are redeemable
at any time after July 1, 1999 at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, at fixed redemption prices set forth herein, together with accrued
interest to the redemption date. The Debentures are not subject to any sinking
fund.
The Debentures will be unsecured general obligations of the Company
subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness
(as defined herein) of the Company. See "Investment
Considerations -- Subordination." The Company currently has no Senior
Indebtedness. The Debentures will rank on a par with the Company's currently
outstanding $21.0 million principal amount of 9% Subordinated Debentures Due
2005 (the "9% Debentures"). There is no restriction on the ability of the
Company or any of the Company's subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness,
whether ranking senior to, on a par with, or junior to the Debentures. Payment
of principal and interest on the Debentures may be accelerated upon the
occurrence of certain events of default. See "Description of the Debentures."
The Debentures will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations
of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Debentures.
The Debentures have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
under the symbol "BANCG".

SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in
this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Prospectus
assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option will not be exercised. The
Board of Directors previously declared five for four stock splits of the
Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Common
Stock"), effected as 25% stock dividends which were issued on July 19, 1995 and
February 1, 1996, respectively. Where appropriate, amounts throughout this
Prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits.
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC.
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a unitary savings bank
holding company organized in April 1994 under the laws of the State of Florida
for the purpose of becoming the holding company for BankAtlantic, A Federal
Savings Bank ("BankAtlantic"). The Company owns all of the outstanding capital
stock of BankAtlantic. BFC Financial Corporation ("BFC"), which is controlled by
the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Company, acquired a controlling interest
in the Company in 1987 and currently owns 4,876,124 shares or approximately 46%
of the Company's issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock. At March 31, 1996,
the Company had consolidated total assets of approximately $1.64 billion and
total stockholders' equity of approximately $136.8 million.
BankAtlantic is a federally-chartered, federally-insured savings bank
organized in 1952, which provides traditional retail banking services and a full
range of commercial banking products and related financial services. The
principal business of BankAtlantic is attracting checking and savings deposits
from the public and general business customers and using these deposits to
originate commercial real estate and business loans, residential real estate
loans and consumer loans, and to make other permitted investments such as the
purchase of mortgage-backed securities, tax certificates and other investment
securities. BankAtlantic operates through 46 branch offices located primarily in
Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties in South Florida. As reported by an
independent statistical reporting service, BankAtlantic is currently the largest
independent financial institution headquartered in Broward County, Florida and
third in size among all savings institutions headquartered in the State of
Florida based on consolidated assets at December 31, 1995, the most recent date
utilized by such reporting service. Based on such published information, if the
previously announced acquisitions of financial institutions in the State of
Florida which are currently pending had been consummated at December 31, 1995,
including BankAtlantic's acquisition of Bank of North America Bancorp, Inc., the
Company would have been the second largest independent depository institution
headquartered in Florida on that date. Further, based on published information
as of June 30, 1995, the Company's market share of deposits in Broward County
would have increased from approximately 3.95% to 5.64%. The rapid pace of
consolidation among Florida's depository institutions has transformed many local
competitors into out-of-state competitors with, in many cases, remote decision
making on larger loans. Many customers feel more comfortable dealing with
community based institutions. BankAtlantic considers itself to be a community
bank, able to compete against regional and super regional institutions by
offering personalized service and fast decision making capabilities.
BankAtlantic's deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") primarily through the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), with a small portion insured through the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF"), both of which are administered by the FDIC. BankAtlantic
is regulated and examined by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") and
the FDIC.
OPERATING STRATEGY
Since 1987, when BFC acquired a controlling interest in BankAtlantic, the
Company's operating strategy has been to shift from traditional thrift
activities to those more closely related to commercial banking. This strategy
entails (i) increasing the range of banking services; (ii) shifting the deposit
mix to emphasize transaction accounts, such as checking and money fund accounts;
(iii) changing the make-up of the loan
4
<PAGE> 5
portfolio to emphasize short-term and variable interest rate products, primarily
commercial real estate and business loans and consumer loans; and (iv) replacing
fixed-rate, long-term securities with floating rate or short-term securities. In
pursuing these goals, substantial expenditures were made for marketing,
equipment, updating facilities and computer systems and for adding qualified
employees, including senior management personnel.
The Company's business strategy has produced the following results:
- Profitability -- Implementation of BankAtlantic's business strategy,
complemented in later periods by improving economic conditions and lower
market interest rates, resulted in net income of $18.4 million, $16.8
million and $16.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively and $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
Return on average assets was 1.07%, 1.17% and 1.25% for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and an annualized 1.10%
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
- Improved Capital Position -- At March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic's capital
position exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, with
tangible and core capital of 8.45% and risk based capital of 13.32%.
- Transaction Accounts -- Management's efforts to shift its activities to
those more closely related to commercial banking involved reducing the
dependence on high rate certificate accounts by attracting transaction
accounts, which carry a lower cost, generate service fee income and
generally represent a more stable source of funds. At March 31, 1996,
transaction accounts represented 48% of total deposits. BankAtlantic will
continue to emphasize transaction accounts by maintaining its full service
branch network and full range of accounts and services. The flow of
deposits, however, is and will continue to be significantly influenced by
economic conditions, competition and prevailing market interest rates.
- Loan Portfolio Reconfiguration -- In an effort to cause its loan
portfolio to adjust more rapidly to market conditions, BankAtlantic
shifted the focus of its portfolio from long-term, fixed-rate residential
real estate loans to shorter-term and variable interest rate commercial
business and real estate loans (including commercial construction loans),
which are generally higher yielding, have shorter terms and typically have
adjustable interest rates. Since December 31, 1991, such loans have
increased from approximately $221 million or 29% of gross loans to
approximately $573 million or 58% of gross loans at March 31, 1996.
- Asset Quality -- The Company seeks to maintain asset quality and moderate
credit risk. Although the loan portfolio has grown substantially, and the
growth has been concentrated in commercial loans and consumer loans,
primarily indirect automobile loans, which generally involve more credit
risk than residential real estate loans, BankAtlantic's non-accrual loans
and non-performing assets have decreased. Non-performing assets decreased
from $36.6 million, or 2.52% of total assets at December 31, 1991 to $19.2
million, or 1.17% of total assets at March 31, 1996. Total allowances for
losses on loans and tax certificates as a percentage of nonperforming
assets was 93.34% at March 31, 1996.
- Controlled Growth -- As part of management's operating strategy,
BankAtlantic has added 21 drive-through facilities and 215 ATMs. There are
currently 46 full service offices, with several more scheduled to open in
1996 and 1997. In February 1995, in an effort to increase its market
presence in Dade County, Florida, BankAtlantic acquired MegaBank, a Miami
based commercial bank with 5 branches and approximately $120 million in
deposits. In April 1996, in furtherance of its policy of controlled
growth, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement to acquire the holding
company of Bank of North America, a commercial bank with $490 million in
deposits and 13 branches, 11 of which are located in Broward County,
BankAtlantic's primary market.
PENDING ACQUISITION OF BANK OF NORTH AMERICA
In an effort to enhance BankAtlantic's presence in Broward County, its
primary market, BankAtlantic entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "BNAB
Purchase Agreement") on April 9, 1996 to acquire
5
<PAGE> 6
Bank of North America Bancorp, Inc. ("BNAB"), the holding company for Bank of
North America, a Florida chartered commercial bank ("BNA"), for approximately
$54 million in cash. The purchase price is subject to upward or downward
adjustment in the event that the adjusted net worth of BNAB (as calculated
pursuant to the BNAB Purchase Agreement) as of the last day of the month
immediately preceding the date of the acquisition is greater than or is less
than $37.4 million, provided that any such adjustment will not reduce the
purchase price by more than $2 million. After any initial adjustment as
discussed in the preceding sentence, the purchase price will be reduced by an
amount equal to certain transaction costs, including severance costs and
bonuses, as specified in the BNAB Purchase Agreement, and losses on certain
assets. BNAB had assets of $560 million and stockholder's equity of
approximately $37.4 million at March 31, 1996 and had earnings in 1995 of
approximately $2.2 million. At March 31, 1996, BNAB had approximately $490
million of deposits (all of which are insured by SAIF), $395 million in loans
and 13 branches, with 11 located in Broward County and one each in Dade and Palm
Beach Counties.
The acquisition of BNAB and the subsequent merger of BNA into BankAtlantic
is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1996, but is subject to
certain conditions including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
There is no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. Funds for the
acquisition will be obtained from one or more sources, including operations,
traditional borrowings, repayments of loans, liquidation of investments or
contributions to BankAtlantic of the proceeds of this Offering. However, the
acquisition of BNAB is not conditioned upon or dependent upon successful
completion of this Offering. See "Pending Acquisition of Bank of North America".

unless: (i) such other entity assumes the
Company's obligations under the Indenture, (ii)
immediately after such transaction takes effect,
the Company will not be in Default (as defined
herein) under the Indenture, and (iii) the
Company has delivered to the Indenture trustee an
appropriate opinion of counsel. The Indenture
does not prohibit or restrict the Company from
selling additional shares of capital stock or
other debt securities nor from pledging
BankAtlantic's capital stock. Further,
BankAtlantic is not restricted from issuing
additional shares of BankAtlantic's capital stock
or other debt securities. See "Description of the
Debentures -- Restrictions on Dividends and Other
Distributions."
Events of Default.......... Events of default include: (i) the failure by the
Company to pay principal of or premium, if any,
on the Debentures at maturity or upon redemption,
(ii) the failure by the Company to pay interest
on any of the Debentures and such failure
continues for a period of 30 days, (iii) the
failure by the Company to comply with any of its
other agreements or covenants in, or provisions
of, the Indenture and such default continues for
a period of 60 days after receipt of notice of
such failure and (iv) certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the
Company. See "Description of the Debentures."

Common Stock must be identical to those declared

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Before making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider

investors should evaluate the factors discussed under "Investment
Considerations," including, but not limited to, the economic and business risks

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in the Debentures offered hereby involves a high degree of
risk. In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by
reference herein, the following factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating the Company before purchasing the Debentures offered hereby.
SOURCES OF PAYMENTS TO HOLDERS OF DEBENTURES; ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS; POSSIBLE
ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
Although the Company holds all of the outstanding capital stock of
BankAtlantic, the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from
BankAtlantic. The ability of the Company to pay the interest on and principal of
the Debentures and to pay dividends on any Class A Common Stock issued upon
conversion of any Debentures will be significantly dependent on the ability of
BankAtlantic to pay dividends to the Company in amounts sufficient to service
the Company's obligations, including its obligation to pay interest
semi-annually on its outstanding 9% Subordinated Debentures Due 2005 (the "9%
Debentures") and to make any other payments with respect to securities issued by
the Company in the future which are pari passu or have a preference over the
Debentures or the Class A Common Stock, as applicable, with respect to the
payment of principal, interest or dividends. There is no restriction on the
ability of the Company to issue securities which are pari passu or have a
preference over the Debentures or the Class A Common Stock nor is there any
restriction on the ability of BankAtlantic to issue additional capital stock or
incur additional indebtedness.
BankAtlantic's ability to pay dividends or make other capital distributions
to the Company is governed by OTS regulations and is based on BankAtlantic's
regulatory capital levels and net income. Under these regulations, "capital
distributions" are defined as cash dividends, payments by a savings association
to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of
another entity in a cash-out merger, and other distributions charged against
capital. An institution that has regulatory capital that is at least equal to
its fully phased-in capital requirements (both before and after giving effect to
the distribution), and that has not been notified that it "is in need of more
than normal supervision" is a Tier 1 association. Upon prior notice to, and
non-objection by, the OTS, a Tier 1 association is permitted to make capital
distributions during a calendar year of up to the greater of (i) 100% of net
income for the current calendar year, plus 50% of its capital surplus ("surplus"
being the amount of capital in excess of its fully phased-in capital
requirements) or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four quarters.
Any additional capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval. As
of March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic's capital exceeded its fully phased-in capital
requirements by approximately $60.5 million and BankAtlantic qualified as a Tier
1 association under applicable OTS regulations. Additionally, all capital
distributions of BankAtlantic are subject to the OTS' right to object to a
distribution on safety and soundness grounds. There is no assurance, however,
that BankAtlantic will remain a Tier 1 association or that it will be in a
position to make capital distributions to the Company in an amount sufficient
for the Company to service the Debentures, or to pay dividends on the Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures. See "Regulation and
Supervision -- Savings Institution Regulation -- Restrictions on Dividends and
Other Capital Distributions."
SUBORDINATION
The Debentures are subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company.
Senior Indebtedness is generally defined as any indebtedness of the Company,
whether existing on or created or incurred after the date of issuance of the
Debentures, which is not expressly by its terms subordinate or pari passu in
right of payment to the Debentures. The Debentures rank pari passu in right of
payment to the Company's outstanding 9% Debentures. Only the capital stock of
the Company is currently junior in right of payment to the Debentures. As of
March 31, 1996, the Company had no Senior Indebtedness and had outstanding $21
million in principal amount of 9% Debentures ranking on a par with the
Debentures. The Indenture does not limit the incurrence of additional
indebtedness by the Company, including Senior Indebtedness, or of additional
indebtedness by BankAtlantic or other subsidiaries.
The Debentures will be obligations of the Company only, are not obligations
of or deposits in BankAtlantic and are not insured by any government agency.
Because the Company is a holding company, its
11
<PAGE> 12
rights and the rights of its creditors, including the holders of the Debentures,
to participate in any distribution of the assets of BankAtlantic (either as a
shareholder or as a creditor), upon a liquidation, reorganization or insolvency
of BankAtlantic (and the consequent right of the holders of the Debentures to
participate in those assets) will be subject to the claims of the creditors of
BankAtlantic (including depositors in BankAtlantic). If the Company is a
creditor of BankAtlantic, the claims of the Company would be subject to any
prior security interest in the assets of BankAtlantic and any indebtedness of
BankAtlantic senior to that of the Company.
LIMITED COVENANTS
The covenants in the Indenture are limited and do not protect holders of
Debentures in the event of a material adverse change in the Company's financial
condition or results of operations. Additionally, as more fully described in
"Description of the Debentures," payment of principal of the Debentures can only
be accelerated upon a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, a default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements in
the Indenture or upon certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of the Company. Neither the Debentures nor the Indenture contain any provisions
which will restrict the Company from incurring, assuming or becoming liable with
respect to any indebtedness or other obligations, whether secured or unsecured.
Neither the Debentures nor the Indenture contain any financial ratios or
specified levels of liquidity to which the Company must adhere. In addition,
neither the Debentures nor the Indenture contain any provision which requires
the Company to repurchase, redeem or modify the terms of the Debentures upon a
change in control or other events involving the Company which may adversely
affect the creditworthiness of the Debentures. Therefore, neither the covenants
nor the other provisions of the Indenture should be a significant factor in
evaluating whether the Company will be able to comply or will comply with its
obligations under the Debentures. See "Description of the Debentures."
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR DEBENTURES
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Debentures.
Although the Debentures have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, there is no assurance that any active trading market therefor will
develop, or, if any such market develops, that it will be sustained.
Accordingly, holders of Debentures may experience difficulty in reselling them
or may be unable to sell them at all. Additionally, since the prices of
securities generally fluctuate, there can be no assurance that purchasers in
this Offering will be able to sell the Debentures at or above the purchase
price.
LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR CLASS A COMMON STOCK
The Debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity, unless
previously redeemed, into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. There
is no assurance that an active trading market for the Class A Common Stock will
be developed or sustained or that a holder of Class A Common Stock will have the
ability to dispose of his shares in a liquid market. The Class A Common Stock
was first issued by the Company and commenced trading on the Nasdaq National
Market on March 11, 1996. There are currently outstanding 1,311,803 shares of
Class A Common Stock. See "Market for Common Stock and Dividends".
While the Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive at least 110% of the
cash dividends declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock, there can be no
assurance that the limited voting entitlement of the Class A Common Stock will
not have an adverse effect on its marketability or market price and no assurance
can be given that the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock will
trade at the same price or even within a narrow range of prices.
LACK OF VOTING RIGHTS OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK; VOTING CONTROL
Holders of the Class B Common Stock currently possess all voting power of
the Company. Holders of the Class A Common Stock will have no right to vote in
connection with the election of the directors of the Company or any other matter
except as provided by Florida law. BFC, which currently owns 4,876,124 shares
12
<PAGE> 13
or approximately 46% of the Company's issued and outstanding Class B Common
Stock, is in a position to significantly influence the policies and management
of the Company and effectively elect a majority of the Company's Board of
Directors. Additionally, Alan B. Levan, the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and BankAtlantic and John E. Abdo, a director
of the Company and the Vice-chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive
Committee of BankAtlantic, beneficially own approximately 46% and 17% of the
shares of BFC, respectively.
LOAN PORTFOLIO CONSIDERATIONS
Loans receivable, net at BankAtlantic increased by approximately $317
million or 58% at March 31, 1996, from December 31, 1994. While substantially
all components of lending increased in 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, much
of this loan growth occurred in commercial real estate, construction and
consumer loans and includes approximately $114 million of loans acquired in
connection with the MegaBank acquisition. As a result of this recent loan
growth, a significant portion of BankAtlantic's total loan portfolio may be
considered unseasoned and, therefore, specific payment and loss experience for
this portion of the portfolio has not yet been established. In addition, with
respect to development and construction loans, the underlying real estate
projects may be in the early stages of development. Further, these loans are
concentrated in Broward, Dade and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. As a result, a
decline in the desirability of these counties as destinations for "in migration"
or vacations, as well as the general economic conditions in these counties could
have a material adverse effect on BankAtlantic's financial condition and results
of operations. See "Business-Lending Activities."
BankAtlantic also makes various types of secured and unsecured consumer
loans and commercial business loans, including indirect automobile loans.
Included in the total amount of consumer loans at March 31, 1996 is
approximately $51.6 million of automobile loans made indirectly through two
dealers located in Dade County, Florida. A determination was made during the
first quarter of 1996 to temporarily decrease the production of indirect
automobile loans pending the integration of newly hired automobile lending
personnel. Indirect auto loans have greater credit risk than direct consumer
loans. See "Business-Lending Activities -- Consumer Loans." Consumer and
commercial business loans generally involve more credit risk than residential
mortgage loans because of the higher potential of defaults and the difficulties
involved in disposing of the collateral, if any.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTEGRATION OF PENDING ACQUISITION
BankAtlantic historically has made only one acquisition, which was the
acquisition of MegaBank in February 1995. BNA is three times the size of
MegaBank and it is currently anticipated that closing of the BNA acquisition
will occur in October 1996. As disclosed herein, BankAtlantic has entered into
an agreement with a third party for data processing services. The conversion to
the new data processing system is also anticipated to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 1996. BankAtlantic's results of operations will be impacted by how
quickly and successfully the data processing conversion is effected and BNA's
operations are integrated into BankAtlantic's ongoing business.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR CONSUMER LOAN PORTFOLIO
From 1987 through 1990, BankAtlantic purchased in excess of $50 million of
indirect home improvement loans from certain dealers, primarily in the Northeast
United States (the "Subject Portfolio"). Questions arose with respect to the
procedures utilized in connection with the origination and underwriting of the
Subject Portfolio which suggested that the dealers, certain home improvement
contractors and borrowers, together with certain former employees of
BankAtlantic, engaged in practices intended to defraud BankAtlantic.
BankAtlantic promptly notified appropriate regulatory and law enforcement
agencies as well as its fidelity bond carrier. In October 1992, BankAtlantic and
the fidelity bond carrier entered into a Covenant Not to Execute (the
"Covenant"). Pursuant to the Covenant, BankAtlantic continued to pursue its
litigation against the carrier but agreed to limit execution on any judgment
obtained against the carrier to $18 million and, in the event that amounts are
recovered from third party wrongdoers, BankAtlantic will receive additional
amounts recovered up to an aggregate of $22 million. Pursuant to the Covenant,
the carrier reimbursed
13
<PAGE> 14
BankAtlantic for certain losses and expenses associated with the Subject
Portfolio, up to the maximum amount of $18 million under the Covenant, on a
quarterly basis. In May 1995, the carrier made its last payment to BankAtlantic
under the Covenant. Accordingly, no funds remain available for reimbursement
from the carrier pursuant to the Covenant.
Three actions have been filed, two in New Jersey and one in New York,
relating to the Subject Portfolio. One of the New Jersey actions was brought on
behalf of the State of New Jersey and the others purport to be class actions on
behalf of named and unnamed plaintiffs that may have obtained loans from dealers
who subsequently sold the loans to financial institutions including
BankAtlantic. Each of the New Jersey actions seek civil remedies against certain
contractors and a named dealer and also seeks to cancel or modify certain
mortgage loans. Although BankAtlantic was not a named party in the State of New
Jersey action, it sought to protect its interest in certain loans and entered
into an Alternative Dispute Resolution Agreement (the "ADR") with the State of
New Jersey. The ADR established procedures for determining whether certain
consumers were entitled to relief under the terms of their loans. Pursuant to
the ADR, BankAtlantic offered relief to certain consumers in the form of reduced
future interest rates, or reductions or forgiveness of principal. As part of the
ADR, the State of New Jersey agreed not to seek rescission of any of the
mortgage loans held by BankAtlantic. The ADR was completed in May 1995 and
BankAtlantic obtained a release from the State of New Jersey for any claims
relating to the mortgage loans. The second New Jersey action was commenced
immediately after completion of the ADR. The New York and New Jersey actions,
which were brought against over 25 parties, including BankAtlantic, purport to
be class actions on behalf of named and unnamed plaintiffs that may have
obtained loans from dealers who subsequently sold the loans to financial
institutions including BankAtlantic. Both the remaining New Jersey action and
the New York action seek, among other things, rescission of the loan agreements
and damages. In November 1995, the court in the second New Jersey action entered
an order dismissing the complaint as against BankAtlantic and plaintiffs
appealed this ruling. In January 1996, the appellate court reversed the trial
court's dismissal of the action and remanded the case back to the trial court to
determine whether the action may be maintained as a class action. The reversal
was without prejudice to BankAtlantic's right to renew its motion after the
trial court has made a determination as to the plaintiff's ability to maintain
this case as a class action. In October 1995, the court in the New York action
preliminarily approved a settlement proposed by the parties pursuant to which
members of the class who timely file a proof of claim would be entitled to
relief in the form of reduced future interest rates and reductions of principal.
The settlement, as presently structured, will have no significant impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
The balance of the loans in the Subject Portfolio was $13.0 million at
March 31, 1996. While management believes that established reserves will be
adequate to cover any additional losses which BankAtlantic may incur from the
Subject Portfolio or the above described litigation, there is no assurance that
this will be the case. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES
BankAtlantic's profitability is dependent to a large extent on its net
interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on
interest-earning assets and its interest expense on interest-bearing
liabilities. BankAtlantic, like most financial institutions, is affected by
changes in general interest rate levels, which are currently at relatively low
levels, and by other economic factors beyond its control. Interest rate risk
arises from mismatches (i.e., the interest sensitivity gap) between the dollar
amount of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities, and is measured in terms
of the ratio of the interest rate sensitivity gap to total assets. More assets
repricing or maturing than liabilities over a given time frame is considered
asset-sensitive and is reflected as a positive gap, and more liabilities
repricing or maturing than assets over a given time frame is considered
liability-sensitive and is reflected as a negative gap. An asset-sensitive
position (i.e., a positive gap) will generally enhance earnings in a rising
interest rate environment and will negatively impact earnings in a falling
interest rate environment, while a liability-sensitive position (i.e., a
negative gap) will generally enhance earnings in a falling interest rate
environment and negatively impact earnings in a rising interest rate
environment. Fluctuations in interest rates are not predictable or controllable.
BankAtlantic has attempted to
14
<PAGE> 15
structure its asset and liability management strategies to mitigate the impact
on net interest income of changes in market interest rates. At March 31, 1996,
BankAtlantic had a one year cumulative positive gap of 1.80%. This positive one
year gap position may, as noted above, have a negative impact on earnings in a
falling interest rate environment. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition -- Interest Rate Sensitivity."
REGULATORY OVERSIGHT
BankAtlantic is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and
examination by the OTS as its chartering authority and primary federal
regulator, and by the FDIC, which insures its deposits up to applicable limits.
BankAtlantic is a member of the FHLB of Atlanta and is subject to certain
limited regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. As the holding company of
BankAtlantic, the Company is also subject to regulation and oversight by the
OTS. See "Regulation and Supervision." Such regulation and supervision governs
the activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for
the protection of the FDIC insurance funds and depositors. Regulatory
authorities have been granted extensive discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities and regulations have been implemented
which have increased capital requirements, increased insurance premiums and have
resulted in increased administrative, professional and compensation expenses.
Any change in the regulatory structure or the applicable statutes or regulations
could have a material impact on the Company and BankAtlantic and their
operations. See "Regulation and Supervision." Additional legislation and
regulations may be enacted or adopted in the future which could significantly
affect the powers, authority and operations of BankAtlantic and which could have
a material adverse effect on BankAtlantic's operations. See "Regulation and
Supervision -- Legislative Developments."
IMPACT OF DISPARITY IN DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUMS; RECAPITALIZATION OF SAIF AND
ASSOCIATED
REGULATORY ISSUES
The FDIC reduced the premiums applicable to BIF deposits, effective January
1, 1996, to range from a minimum flat fee of $2,000 to a maximum assessment of
27 basis points. Under the new assessment rate schedule, approximately 92% of
BIF members will pay only the minimum fee while SAIF members retain the existing
assessment rate schedule of 23 to 31 basis points. At March 31, 1996,
BankAtlantic had approximately $135 million of deposits subject to BIF premiums
and $1.2 billion subject to SAIF premiums.
The disparity in insurance premiums between those required for financial
institutions with all or primarily SAIF insured deposits and those with all or
primarily BIF deposits generally allows BIF members to attract and retain
deposits at a lower effective cost. The resulting competitive disadvantage could
also result in BankAtlantic having to raise its deposit rates to remain
competitive or lose deposits to BIF members who may decide to pay higher rates
of interest on deposits because of the lower deposit insurance premiums.
Although BankAtlantic has other sources of funds, such sources may be more
costly than the cost of deposits. See "Regulation -- Insurance of Accounts."
Several alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF premium
disparity have recently been proposed by the U.S. Congress, federal regulators,
industry lobbyists and the Clinton Administration. One plan to recapitalize the
SAIF that has gained support of several sponsors would require all SAIF member
institutions, including BankAtlantic, to pay a one-time fee of approximately 85
basis points on the amount of SAIF-insured deposits held by the member
institution at March 31, 1995. This fee would amount to approximately $6.1
million on an after tax basis to BankAtlantic and, if this proposal is enacted
into law, the effect most likely would be an immediate charge to earnings. In
addition, BNA is also subject to the proposed one-time fee since its deposits
are SAIF-insured deposits; however, management anticipates that the assessment
on BNA's deposits would be reduced by 20% based on BNA's status as a "de novo
sasser bank" as defined in the proposed legislation. Based on current proposals,
the fee associated with BNA's SAIF-insured deposits would amount to
approximately $1.8 million on an after tax basis. The Company is unable to
predict whether this proposal or any similar proposal will be enacted or whether
ongoing SAIF premiums will be reduced to a level equal to that of BIF premiums.
See "Regulation and Supervision."
15
<PAGE> 16
The Company has been considering converting BankAtlantic's charter to that
of a commercial bank. If BankAtlantic's charter were to be converted, the impact
to the Consolidated Statement of Operations under current regulations would be a
charge to income of approximately $3.2 million relating to the recapture of the
bad debt deduction for Federal income tax purposes. The Company is not presently
pursuing a conversion of BankAtlantic's charter since it is awaiting the outcome
of the legislative proposals relating to the disparity of the BIF/SAIF premiums,
which include a consideration of the treatment of the recapture of the bad debt
deduction as well as the possible consolidation of bank and thrift charters.
Even if BankAtlantic's charter was converted to that of a commercial bank, under
current regulations BankAtlantic's current SAIF deposits would remain subject to
SAIF assessments unless BankAtlantic paid significant entrance and exit fees and
assessments.
COMPETITION
The Company competes with various types of financial institutions, including
other savings institutions, commercial banks, finance companies, mortgage
banking companies, money market funds and credit unions, many of which have
substantially greater financial resources than the Company and, in some cases,
operate under fewer regulatory constraints. See "Business -- Competition." See
"Regulation and Supervision -- Legislative Developments" for a discussion of
recently enacted legislation that could result in increased competition from
bank holding companies headquartered outside of Florida and see "Business --
Competition" and "Regulation and Supervision -- Insurance of Accounts" for a
discussion of the potential impact of the disparity between the insurance
premiums paid by BankAtlantic and those paid by institutions whose deposits
are insured by BIF.

THE COMPANY
The Company is the holding company for BankAtlantic, the largest
independent financial institution, based on asset size, headquartered in Broward
County, Florida. BankAtlantic reorganized into a holding company form in 1994
based on the belief that the holding company form would provide BankAtlantic
greater financial and operating flexibility, including increased access to the
capital markets for offerings such as the offering being made herein. Capital
raised by the Company may be used to fund activities and transactions at the
Company level or may be contributed to BankAtlantic to fund acquisitions or
support growth. See "Use of Proceeds". The Company's activities to date have
consisted solely of activities incident to its ownership of BankAtlantic.
Accordingly, the business of the Company is the business of BankAtlantic and its
subsidiaries.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1750 East
Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33304, and its telephone number is
(954) 760-5000.
BANKATLANTIC
BankAtlantic commenced operations in 1952 as Atlantic Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Fort Lauderdale, a federal mutual savings and loan
association. In December 1983, BankAtlantic converted from a mutual to a stock
association. From 1952 through 1986 BankAtlantic operated as a traditional
savings and loan. Upon assumption of control by BFC in 1987, BankAtlantic
adopted a federal savings bank charter and changed its name to BankAtlantic, A
Federal Savings Bank. The principal business of BankAtlantic has been attracting
checking and savings deposits from the public and general business customers and
using these deposits to originate commercial real estate and business loans,
residential real estate loans and consumer loans, and to make other permitted
investments such as the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and other
investment securities. BankAtlantic operates through 46 branch offices primarily
located in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties in South Florida. As reported
by an independent statistical reporting service, BankAtlantic is currently the
largest independent financial institution headquartered in Broward County,
Florida and third in size among all savings institutions headquartered in the
State of Florida, based on consolidated assets at December 31, 1995, the most
recent date utilized by such reporting service. Based on such published
information, if the previously announced acquisitions of financial institutions
in the State of Florida which are currently pending had been consummated at
December 31, 1995, including BankAtlantic's acquisition of BNAB, the Company
would have been the second largest independent depository institution
headquartered in Florida on that date. Further, based on published information
as of June 30, 1995, the Company's market share of deposits in Broward County
would have increased from approximately 3.95% to 5.64%. The rapid pace of
consolidation among Florida's depository institutions has transformed many local
competitors into out-of-state competitors with, in many cases, remote decision
making on larger loans. Many customers feel more comfortable dealing with
community based institutions. BankAtlantic considers itself to be a community
bank, able to compete against regional and super regional institutions by
offering personalized service and fast decision making capabilities.
Prior to BFC's assumption of control, BankAtlantic had a low capital base,
high cost time deposits and borrowings, low levels of fee income, no ATMs, no
drive through operations, outdated computer systems and a loan portfolio
unresponsive to changes in market interest rates because it consisted primarily
of long term, fixed rate residential real estate loans. Based on industry wide
problems and BankAtlantic's structure, management concluded that a new direction
and focus was required in order for BankAtlantic to survive and prosper in the
changing economic and regulatory climate.
Management embarked upon a strategy to shift BankAtlantic's traditional
thrift activities to activities more closely related to commercial banking
activities. This strategy included changing the deposit mix to increase the
relative amount of transaction accounts versus time deposits and providing a
full range of banking services to its customers. Management's efforts focused on
reducing BankAtlantic's dependence on higher rate certificates of deposit by
attracting lower cost and non-interest bearing transaction accounts. At March
31, 1996, 48% of BankAtlantic's deposits constituted transaction accounts and
approximately 52% were time deposits. Fee income associated specifically with
transaction accounts increased from $4.9 million at December 31, 1991 to
approximately $7.0 million during 1995. Fee income was further increased through
17
<PAGE> 18
management's efforts to offer commercial banking services, add ATMs and expand
existing sources of non-interest income, such as servicing residential mortgage
loans for others.
BankAtlantic's strategy also included a change in the make-up of
BankAtlantic's loan portfolio emphasizing types of loans having variable rates
and terms shorter than fixed rate residential real estate mortgage loans, such
as commercial business and real estate loans (including commercial construction
loans), which are generally higher yielding, have shorter terms and typically
have adjustable interest rates. Since December 31, 1991, such loans have
increased from approximately $221 million or 29% of gross loans to approximately
$573 million or 58% of gross loans at March 31, 1996.
As part of its growth plan and in an effort to increase its market presence
in Dade County, BankAtlantic acquired MegaBank, a Miami-based commercial bank,
for approximately $21 million in cash in February 1995. MegaBank had assets of
approximately $152 million at December 31, 1994. The MegaBank acquisition added
approximately $120.2 million in deposits, $116.4 million in loans and 5 branches
to BankAtlantic's existing branch network. The acquisition of MegaBank was
accounted for as a purchase and gave rise to goodwill of approximately $12
million which is being amortized over a 10 year period. The financial
information included herein reflects the results of MegaBank since February 1,
1995. BankAtlantic has expanded by establishing additional customer service
facilities, including drive-through facilities, ATMs and branch offices. Since
1987, BankAtlantic has added 21 drive-through facilities, 215 ATMs (including 10
located on cruise ships) and has relocated and consolidated branches and opened
new full-service branches, including 6 in 1995. Seven of BankAtlantic's branches
are located in Wal-Mart Stores Super Centers. The Company and BankAtlantic
intend to continue the policy of controlled growth through additional branches,
ATMs and, when available on attractive terms, through acquisitions. As discussed
herein, BankAtlantic has entered into an agreement to acquire BNAB. BankAtlantic
also anticipates opening several additional branches and increasing the number
of ATMs in its network in 1996 and 1997.
Management continues to pursue an operating strategy of (i) emphasizing
commercial real estate, business and consumer loans; (ii) focusing on
non-interest income; (iii) promoting transaction accounts and (iv) enhancing
market penetration through de novo branching and acquisitions. While pursuing
this strategy, management remains committed to maintaining asset quality,
managing interest rate risk and enhancing profitability.
PENDING ACQUISITION OF BANK OF NORTH AMERICA
GENERAL
In an effort to enhance BankAtlantic's presence in Broward County, its
primary market, BankAtlantic has entered into an agreement with the sole
shareholder of BNAB to purchase BNAB, the holding company for BNA, a Florida
chartered bank, for a purchase price of $54 million, subject to adjustment as
described below. Management believes that the acquisition will substantially
increase BankAtlantic's market share in Broward County, will allow the Company
to recognize the economies associated with an in-market acquisition and will
enable BankAtlantic to compete more effectively with larger financial
institutions located in this area.
BNA
BNA began operations on June 15, 1990 through an agreement with the FDIC
for the acquisition of certain assets and the assumption of deposits and
liabilities of Bank M, an insolvent financial institution in Miami, Florida.
Subsequent to the initial acquisition, BNA entered into additional transactions
with the FDIC and the Resolution Trust Corporation (the "RTC") which resulted in
the assumption of deposits from four additional insolvent financial
institutions.
At March 31, 1996, BNAB had total assets of approximately $560 million,
approximately $490 million of deposits (all of which are insured by SAIF), $395
million in loans and 13 branches (with 11 located in Broward County, one in Dade
County and one in Palm Beach County). For the year ended December 31, 1995,
BNAB's net income was approximately $2.2 million.
18
<PAGE> 19
REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
BankAtlantic believes that this "in market" acquisition offers considerable
consolidation opportunities as well as benefits resulting from an increase of
its customer base in a manner which BankAtlantic believes is less expensive than
de novo branching. All BNA branches are in close proximity to BankAtlantic
branches. It is currently anticipated that a significant number of these
locations will be consolidated, although it has not yet been determined which
locations will remain open.
BNA's loan operations resemble BankAtlantic's current loan operations. BNA
currently offers the following types of loans: residential, residential
construction, commercial real estate and business, and consumer (direct and
indirect). BankAtlantic also currently offers these types of loans although
BankAtlantic has placed greater emphasis on the origination of commercial real
estate loans. BankAtlantic currently anticipates that it will continue offering
all of BNA's loan products. An integral part of BankAtlantic's business strategy
after the acquisition will be to expand the commercial business and real estate
loan areas by combining BNA's existing strong customer base with BankAtlantic's
real estate expertise and greater lending capacity.
BankAtlantic's deposit products are also similar to those offered by BNA,
and at March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic's deposit mix (transaction accounts 48%,
certificate accounts 52%) closely resembled BNA's deposit mix (transaction
accounts 43%, certificate accounts 57%). Since both entities have used similar
liability pricing strategies, significant deposit runoff is not anticipated.
Further, BankAtlantic intends to continue operations within the communities
where BNA's existing 13 branches are located and, accordingly, this should
promote customer retention. BankAtlantic believes that its extensive branch
network and wide range of banking products will not only preserve relationships
with BNA's existing customers but will also enhance those relationships and
provide opportunities to cross sell additional services.
THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The acquisition will be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
BNAB Purchase Agreement for a purchase price of approximately $54 million in
cash. The purchase price to be paid by BankAtlantic for BNA has been initially
set at $54 million, but is subject to adjustment based upon the deviation of the
adjusted net worth of BNAB from $37.4 million (the "Target Amount"), which
amount is approximately equal to BNAB's unaudited GAAP net worth at March 31,
1996. The purchase price will, except as noted below, initially be adjusted on a
dollar for dollar basis to reflect the variance of the adjusted net worth of
BNAB (as defined in the BNAB Purchase Agreement), as of the last day of the
month immediately preceding the date of the acquisition, from the Target Amount.
If the Target Amount exceeds the adjusted net worth of BNAB by more than $2
million, the initial reduction in purchase price will nonetheless be limited to
$2 million. In such event, BankAtlantic has the option either (i) to proceed
with the acquisition, thereby accepting the $2 million initial reduction to the
purchase price or (ii) to terminate the transaction. The adjusted net worth of
BNAB includes upward adjustments for, among other things, (i) any special SAIF
or similar one-time assessment paid or accrued by BNAB, (ii) any amounts
required to be recorded by BNAB as an allowance for loan losses in accordance
with the BNAB Purchase Agreement, (iii) certain transaction costs as specified
in the BNAB Purchase Agreement and (iv) certain losses and write-offs. After any
initial adjustment to the purchase price based upon adjusted net worth as
described above, the purchase price will be reduced by (i) certain transaction
costs, including severance costs and bonuses, as specified in the BNAB Purchase
Agreement and (ii) losses on certain assets, and such adjustments are not
subject to the $2 million limitation. For purposes of determining BNAB's
adjusted net worth and the other adjustments discussed above, appropriate income
tax adjustments will be made.
The acquisition of BNAB and BNA is expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 1996, but is subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of
all required regulatory approvals and that the adjusted net worth of BNAB exceed
$35.4 million. BNAB has agreed to cause BNA to comply with certain operational
limitations and requirements pending the closing of the acquisition, including
that the Bank operate its business in the ordinary course in substantially the
same manner as BNA conducted its business up to the date
19
<PAGE> 20
of the BNAB Purchase Agreement and in a manner consistent with market conditions
and past practice. Further, the BNAB Purchase Agreement may be terminated and
the acquisition abandoned if, among other events, either BankAtlantic or BNAB or
BNA experiences a material adverse change in its business, financial condition,
results of operations (subject to certain exceptions specified in the BNAB
Purchase Agreement), assets or liabilities or the acquisition is not consummated
by February 15, 1997. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the transaction
will be consummated. See "Pro Forma Combined Financial Data".
Funds for the acquisition will be obtained from one or more sources,
including operations, traditional borrowings, repayments of loans, liquidation
of investments or contributions to BankAtlantic of the proceeds of this
offering. However, the acquisition of BNAB is not conditioned upon or dependent
upon successful completion of this Offering.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Debentures offered
hereby are estimated to be approximately $47.7 million ($54.85 million if the
Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full) after deduction of the
underwriting discount and estimated expenses.
The Company intends to contribute the majority of the net proceeds of this
Offering to the capital of BankAtlantic where it will be used for general
corporate purposes including working capital and for financing possible future
acquisitions. Such proceeds may be used in financing the acquisition of BNAB
discussed herein, however, such acquisition is not dependent upon nor
conditioned upon the consummation of the Offering. See "Pending Acquisition of
Bank of North America". Any net proceeds retained by the Company will be used
for general corporate purposes.

payment of dividends will depend upon, among other things, the results of
operations, financial condition and cash requirements of the Company and on the
ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or otherwise advance funds to the
Company, which in turn is subject to OTS regulations and is based upon
BankAtlantic's regulatory capital levels and net income.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth the Company's historical and as adjusted
ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
for the year ended December 31, 1995. The as adjusted ratio of earnings to fixed
charges is presented as if the consummation of the offering of the Debentures
had occurred on January 1, 1995 or January 1, 1996. Earnings used in computing
the ratios shown consist of earnings from continuing operations before taxes,
interest expense and non-cumulative preferred stock dividends. Fixed charges
represent all interest expense (ratios are presented both excluding and
including interest on deposits) and the portion of rental expense considered to
be representative of interest. Interest expense (other than on deposits)
includes interest on long-term obligations, FHLB borrowings, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and other funds borrowed. For each 1/2 of 1%
change in the interest rate on the Debentures being offered hereby, interest
expense would change by $250,000 on an annualized basis and as adjusted ratio of
earnings to fixed charges would change by a maximum of 0.03.

PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following tables present certain selected historical financial
information for the Company and BNAB and selected unaudited pro forma combined
financial data. The information presented is based on and should be read in
conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the separate
historical financial statements of the Company and BNAB appearing elsewhere in
this Prospectus. The pro forma amounts included in the tables assume completion
of the acquisition and the issuance of $50.0 million principal amount of
Debentures. The acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. Under this method of accounting, assets and liabilities of BNAB are
recorded at their estimated fair value and any unallocated portion of the
purchase price remaining after fair value adjustments is recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill is amortized on a straight line basis over 10 years. Applicable income
tax effects for the difference in the income tax basis and the financial
statement basis of BNAB's accounts result in deferred tax assets and liabilities
and correspondingly adjust the amount recorded as goodwill. The unaudited pro
forma combined balance sheets assume the acquisition had been effective on March
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined
statements of operations assume the acquisition had been effective as of January
1, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For purposes of the pro forma financial
information estimated fair values of BNAB's assets and liabilities are, except
for debt securities available for sale, based on December 31, 1995 information.
Debt securities available for sale are based on March 31, 1996 information. The
unaudited pro forma combined financial data do not give effect to the
disposition of certain yet to be identified assets and liabilities, or
restructuring charges. Restructuring charges, when incurred, will adversely
impact the Company's results of operations. However, no benefit from anticipated
expense reductions is reflected in the pro forma combined financial data.
The resolution of the pending matters pertaining to the assets and
liabilities of BNAB described above, as well as the operations of BNAB
subsequent to March 31, 1996, will affect the allocation of the purchase price.
In addition, changes to the adjustments already included in the unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements, and possibly other adjustments, are
expected because valuations of assets and liabilities are determined as of the
actual date the acquisition is completed. An increase in the unallocated portion
of the purchase price remaining after fair value adjustments will result in a
greater final allocation to goodwill which will have a corresponding impact on
amortization expense and will reduce tangible common equity and net income. A
decrease in the unallocated portion of the purchase price remaining after fair
value adjustments will have the opposite effects. Additionally, under certain
circumstances, the purchase price may be adjusted. Accordingly, the final
combined amounts may differ from those set forth in the unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements. See "Pending Acquisition of Bank of North
America."
The historical information relating to BNAB contained throughout this
Prospectus was provided to the Company by BNAB. The Company makes no
representations regarding the accuracy or completeness of the information
regarding BNAB; however, the Company has no reason to believe that such
information is materially incomplete or inaccurate.
The pro forma information shown below is presented for comparative purposes
only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or
results of operations in the future. The pro forma information is also not
necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of
operations which would have been realized had the acquisition been consummated
during the periods or as of the dates for which the pro forma financial
information is presented. Certain balances on BNAB's financial statements were
reclassified to conform with the Company's financial statement presentations.

(1) Adjustments to fair value of BNAB's loans receivable, mortgage servicing
rights, deposits, and FHLB advances at December 31, 1995 are $6.8 million,
$2.8 million, $2.0 million, and $127,000, respectively. Adjustments to fair
values are amortized as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
- Loans receivable 3 years straight line method.
- Mortgage servicing rights Based on projected portfolio cash flows of 26.4% for year ended
December 31, 1995 and 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
- Deposits Based on estimated time deposit maturities of 65% in year one and
16% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
- FHLB Advances 1 year straight line.
</TABLE>
(2) The purchase price of $54.0 million is assumed to be funded through the sale
of debt securities available for sale. The weighted average interest rate
earned on BNAB's debt securities available for sale were 5.76% and 5.81% at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.
(3) Straight line amortization of cost over fair value of net assets acquired
(goodwill) is based on a ten year useful life. Amortization is not
deductible for tax purposes.
(4) The total purchase price will include other direct acquisition costs, such
as legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses. For purposes
of the pro forma financial information such other acquisition costs are
estimated at $1.0 million.
(5) The pro forma does not include the effect of any potential expense
reductions, revenue increases or restructuring charges.
(6) The effective income tax rate is assumed to be 38%.
(7) Includes a reduction of $0.13 and $0.12 for primary and fully diluted
earnings per share, respectively, related to the October 1995 Preferred
Stock redemption.
DEBENTURE OFFERING ADJUSTMENTS
(A) $44 million of assumed net proceeds of the Offering will be contributed by
the Company to BankAtlantic where it was used to paydown securities sold
under agreements to repurchase. The remaining net proceeds of the Offering
(approximately $3.7 million assuming the underwriters over allotment option
is not exercised) is assumed to be invested by the Company in short term
investments in order to comply with the terms of the Indenture. The assumed
interest earned on the short term investments is 5.36% and 5.80% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995,
respectively.
(B) Interest expense on the Debentures assumes amortization of offering costs
over 10 years on a straight-line basis. The average rate on securities sold
under agreements to repurchase assumed to be paid down for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 was 4.39% and
5.81%, respectively.
(C) Fully diluted income per common share is calculated including an adjustment
for interest charges at 6 3/4% as a result of the hypothetical conversion of
the Debentures at a conversion price of $16 per share.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
The Company's primary asset is the capital stock of BankAtlantic, and its
principal activities relate to the operations of BankAtlantic. At the present
time the Company has no significant operations and does not require funds other
than to pay certain operating expenses, interest on the 9% Debentures and
dividend payments to its common shareholders. It is anticipated that funds for
payment of its operating and interest expenses will continue to be obtained from
BankAtlantic. Additionally, the Company anticipates it will pay regular
quarterly cash dividends on its common stock. Dividend and interest payments are
in part dependent upon BankAtlantic's ability to pay dividends or otherwise
distribute funds to the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $15.5 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to $14.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995. During the 1996 quarter, interest income increased by $1.6
million primarily due to higher interest earned on loans, partially offset by
lower interest income on securities and investments. This increase in loan
interest income reflects higher average balances due to the acquisition of
MegaBank as well as loan originations and purchases. The decline in interest
income on securities and investments resulted from lower average balances
primarily due to principal repayments and the sale of $73.1 million of
mortgage-backed securities available for sale. During the three months ended
March 31, 1996 total interest expense was $15.6 million compared to $15.7
million during the comparable 1995 period. Higher interest expenses on deposits
and the 9% Debentures were offset by lower interest expense on short term
borrowings (primarily securities sold under agreements to repurchase). The
increase in deposit interest expense resulted from higher time deposit average
balances and rates. The decline in short term borrowings interest expense
primarily resulted from lower average balances and secondarily from lower rates
during the first quarter of 1996 compared to 1995. The provision for loan losses
was $940,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $176,000
during the comparable 1995 period. The increased 1996 provision resulted from an
increase of $845,000 in consumer loan charge-offs net of recoveries.
Non-interest income was $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared to $4.0 million for the comparable 1995 period. The $2.8 million
increase primarily related to $2.3 million of gains on sales of mortgage-backed
securities available for sale and higher transaction account and ATM fee income.
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $14.5 million
compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 1995. The net increase of $2.6
million reflects decreased gains on the sale of foreclosed assets and higher
employee compensation costs, occupancy and equipment expenses, other expenses,
and amortization of cost over fair value of net assets acquired. These expense
increases primarily related to the acquisition of MegaBank and the opening of
six additional branches during 1995. The 1995 provision for income taxes was
reduced by $319,000 due to a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance.
Net income of $18.4 million, $16.8 million and $16.1 million was realized
for the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net
interest income for 1995 reflects the acquisition of MegaBank which increased
loans, debt securities available for sale and deposits by $116.4 million, $18.1
million, and $120.2 million, respectively. Furthermore, loans originated for
portfolio during 1995 were $597.3 million compared to $328.8 million during
1994. Net interest income during 1994 reflects $768,000 realized from the
repayment of a loan purchased at a discount and a $1.4 million reversal of
accrued tax certificate interest to previously established allowance accounts.
The $1.4 million interest reversal was offset by a $1.4 million reduction in
provision for tax certificate losses included in non-interest expense, both of
which resulted from a change in methodology for classifying tax certificates and
calculating the allowance for tax certificate losses. Non-interest income during
1995 includes $2.7 million of gains on the sales of mortgage servicing rights,
$589,000 of realized gains on trading account securities, $395,000 of gains on
the sales of loans originated for resale and $9.0 million of transaction account
and ATM fee income. Non-interest income during 1994 includes $484,000 of gains
on the sale of mortgage servicing rights, $558,000 of unrealized losses on
investment trading securities, $773,000 of gains on sales of loans originated
for resale, and $6.4 million of
31
<PAGE> 32
transaction account and ATM fee income. In addition, 1994 non-interest income
included $332,000 of dormant account fee income relating to a settlement with
the Florida Comptroller's Office, and a $291,000 gain on the sale of a building
utilized for administrative operations. Non-interest expenses during 1995
included income from foreclosed asset activity, net of $3.2 million compared to
$2.3 million during 1994. The acquisition of MegaBank and the opening of three
Florida west coast Wal-Mart branches and three South Florida branches were the
primary causes of the increase in non-interest expenses in 1995. The MegaBank
acquisition added 70 employees and five branches in Dade County. Operations for
1995 also included $1.0 million of loan charge-offs and $1.2 million of legal
expenses, all related to the Subject Portfolio discussed in Note 15 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Covenant was operative for all of 1993
and 1994, but only provided $120,000 of reimbursement in 1995. The financial
effect of the Covenant for 1994 and 1993 was to reduce expenses by $1.1 million
and $942,000, increase interest income by $210,000 and $757,000 and recognize
loan loss recoveries of $1.2 million and $972,000, respectively. Operations for
1993 include a settlement of a claim with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
relating primarily to net operating loss carrybacks, resulting in an increase in
other interest income of $587,000 and a reduction in the provision for income
taxes of $1.4 million. Provision for loan losses increased during 1995 to $4.2
million compared to $2.3 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase during 1995 reflects lower
recoveries from the Subject Portfolio and higher non-mortgage loan charge-offs.
The lower provision for loan losses during 1994 and 1993 resulted primarily from
the improved economic environment as well as recoveries during 1994 through 1993
related to the Subject Portfolio. The 1995 and 1994 tax provisions were reduced
by $972,000 and $492,000 due to a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance.
As discussed above, net income increased in 1995 by $1.6 million compared
to 1994 and 1994 net income increased by $700,000 compared to 1993. However, as
indicated below, comparative income per share amounts decreased. The decrease in
1995 was due to the October 1995 redemption of the Company's non-cumulative
preferred stock at the stated redemption price of $25 per share. This amount
resulted in a payment of $1.4 million above the recorded amount of the Preferred
Stock. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") the
$1.4 million is not reflected in operations and has no effect on net income but
does impact income per share by being treated as a Preferred Stock dividend
which reduced primary and fully diluted earnings per share by $0.13 and $0.12,
respectively. The primary reason for the redemption of the preferred stock was
that the dividend requirements, based upon the redemption price, represented an
after-tax equivalent effective interest rate of 10.5% compared to an after-tax
equivalent effective interest rate of approximately 5.5% on the funds used for
the redemption. During the second quarter of 1993 the Company issued 1.76
million shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants by
BFC Financial Corporation ("BFC") and 1.05 million shares of common stock were
issued in a November 1993 public offering. A portion of the decline in 1994
income per share as compared to 1993 resulted from those shares being
outstanding for all of 1994 as compared to only a portion of 1993. Income per
share comparisons for the quarterly periods of 1996 to 1995 and the annual
periods of 1995 to 1994 and 1994 to 1993 were also diluted by the increasing
market price of the Company's common stock and the accounting effect this had in
calculating common equivalent shares. The average for the quarter, for the year
and the period end stock prices used in the calculation was $14.55 and $15.25
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 quarter compared to $10.25 and $9.92 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, $13.05 and $15.00 for 1995, compared to $9.45
and $9.92 in 1994 and $8.24 and $8.80 in 1993. Resulting income per common and
common equivalent share (primary earnings per share) and income assuming full
dilution (fully diluted income per share) were $0.42 and $0.42 for the 1996
quarter, $0.39 and 0.39 for the 1995 quarter, $1.51 and $1.50 for 1995, $1.52
and $1.52 for 1994 and $1.61 and $1.60 for 1993.
Operations during the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 1995
were favorably impacted by the change in the mix of interest earning assets from
lower yielding mortgage-backed securities and investments to higher yielding
loans resulting in the net interest margin increasing from 3.75% during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to 4.19% during the comparable 1996 period.
Operations during the two year period ended December 31, 1994 were favorably
impacted by the declining interest rate environment and BankAtlantic's interest
rate sensitivity gap position during these periods. During 1995 the interest
margin decreased compared to 1994 as interest rates increased. A negative
interest rate sensitivity gap provides the
32
<PAGE> 33
potential for widening interest margins and increased earnings during times of
declining rates, the environment that generally existed during the 1994 and 1993
periods. However, a negative gap will correspondingly negatively impact earnings
when rates increase, the environment that generally existed during the first
half of 1995. At December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 the cumulative one-year
interest rate sensitivity gap was a negative 2.49% and 13.74% and a positive
3.79%, respectively. At March 31, 1996 the cumulative one-year interest
sensitivity gap was a positive 1.80% (See "Interest Rate Sensitivity"). The 1996
change in the one-year cumulative gap resulted from lower short term borrowings
at period end due to the sale of $73.1 million of mortgage-backed securities.
The 1994 decline in the one year cumulative negative interest rate gap resulted
from higher short term borrowings during the fourth quarter of 1994 compared to
the same 1993 period. In addition, during 1994, and most of 1995, a period when
interest rates were rising, liabilities repriced at a faster pace than
BankAtlantic's assets, causing the net interest margin to decline from 4.90%
during the year ended December 31, 1993 to 4.32% during the comparable 1994
period and to 4.04% during 1995.

</TABLE>
The increase in interest and fees on loans during the three months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to the same period during 1995 reflects higher average
balances resulting from loan fundings, loan purchases, and loans acquired in
connection with the MegaBank acquisition. As a result, the average balance of
total loans receivable increased from $658.9 million during the first quarter of
1995 to $860.2 million during the comparable 1996 period. During the three
months ended March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic funded and purchased $183.9 million of
loans compared to $127.7 million of loans during 1995. Effective December 15,
1995, all mortgage-backed and investment securities, excluding tax certificates,
then classified as held-to-maturity were reclassified as available for sale;
therefore, during the first quarter of 1996 there were no mortgage-backed
securities held for investment. The decline in interest on securities and
investments resulted from principal repayments and the sale of $73.1 million of
mortgage-backed securities available for sale. The average balance of securities
and investments declined from $897.1 million during the three month period in
1995 to $708.9 million during the comparable period in 1996.
Net interest income increased for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
increase in interest on loans during 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
was primarily due to higher average balances of and yields earned on real estate
loans and commercial business loans, and higher balances of consumer loans. The
above items were partially offset by lower average balances of banker's
acceptances and lower yields earned on consumer loans. The higher loan average
balances resulted from the 1995 MegaBank acquisition and increased loan
originations. The MegaBank acquisition increased commercial real estate,
commercial business, and consumer loans by $39.1 million, $24.5 million, and
$52.8 million, respectively. During the year
33
<PAGE> 34
ended December 31, 1995 BankAtlantic funded and purchased $648.5 million of
loans compared to $372.1 million of loans during the comparable 1994 period. As
a result, BankAtlantic's average loan balances increased from $520.9 million
during the year ended December 31, 1994 to $750.1 million during 1995. The
higher yields earned on real estate and commercial business loans reflect the
increase in the prime rate of interest from 6.00% in December 1994 to 8.50% in
December 1995. The higher real estate and commercial business loan yields were
partially offset by lower consumer loan yields as a result of the $52.8 million
acquisition of MegaBank consumer loans at a weighted average rate of 8.98% and
the repayment of higher yielding consumer loans. The loan portfolio at December
31, 1995 compared to December 31, 1994 changed due to the acquisition of
MegaBank and loan originations. The percent of consumer loans to total gross
loans at December 31, 1995 was 23.67% compared to 20.18% at December 31, 1994.
The percent of commercial business loans to total gross loans at December 31,
1995 was 6.84% compared to 4.00% at December 31, 1994. The increased income on
mortgage-backed securities during 1995 was caused by higher average balances
during the period and higher yields earned on adjustable rate mortgage-backed
securities. During the year ended December 31, 1994, $268.8 million of mortgage
backed securities were purchased and in January 1995, $75.3 million of
adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities were purchased resulting in average
mortgage-backed securities balances increasing from $514.5 million during the
year ended December 31, 1994 to $574.0 million during the comparable 1995
period. Adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities purchased in prior periods
repriced during the fourth quarter of 1994 and during 1995 resulting in an
increase in the average yields earned on the portfolio. The increase in interest
income on debt securities available for sale reflects higher average balances
partially offset by lower yields. The higher average balances reflect the
acquisition of $18.1 million of debt securities in connection with the MegaBank
acquisition and the transfer of $638.8 million of securities to available for
sale on December 15, 1995 based on the guidance from a Special Report issued by
FASB. See further discussion under "-Mortgage-backed Securities, Investment
Securities and Loans." The securities transferred increased the available for
sale average balance by $24.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
lower yields resulted primarily from the prepayments of higher yielding 15 and
30 year mortgage-backed securities. The decrease in interest and dividends on
investment securities was primarily caused by lower average balances partially
offset by a $1.4 million reversal of tax certificate interest during 1994. The
reversal of tax certificate interest resulted from a change in methodology for
classifying tax certificates and calculating the allowance for tax certificate
losses. This change in methodology was based upon discussions with certain
regulatory agencies. Previously, interest was accrued on tax certificates for a
longer period of time before the certificate was charged off. Under this prior
practice an allowance was established for any interest accrued after a specified
term after acquisition of the certificate. The new methodology charges off
certificates at the same point in time, but discontinues the practice of
accruing interest and establishing an allowance for amounts accrued after the
specified term. The 1994 tax certificate interest reversal was to previously
established allowance accounts.
Net interest income declined in 1994 compared to 1993. The increase in
interest on loans during 1994 resulted from higher yields earned in 1994
compared to 1993. The average yield earned on loans was 9.49% during 1994
compared to 9.05% during 1993. The higher loan yield was caused by the rising
interest rates during most of 1994 and a shift in the loan portfolio mix from
consumer to commercial real estate loans. The percent of commercial real estate
loans to gross loans increased from 34.2% at December 31, 1993 to 56.9% at
December 31, 1994. Whereas, the percent of consumer loans (including second
mortgages) to gross loans declined from 27.3% at December 31, 1993 to 20.2% at
December 31, 1994. The yield increase in consumer loans resulted from the
repayment of lower yielding automobile loans. The increased income on mortgage-
backed securities during 1994 compared to 1993 was caused by higher average
balances partially offset by lower yields. The average balance of
mortgage-backed securities and debt securities available for sale increased from
$517.3 million during 1993 to $579.4 million during 1994. The decline in
mortgage-backed securities average yields during 1994 was partially caused by
the repayment of higher yielding mortgage-backed securities in the available for
sale category. The balance of mortgage-backed securities available for sale
declined from $83.1 million at December 31, 1993 to $54.0 million at December
31, 1994. The $268.8 million of mortgage-backed securities purchased in 1994
were purchased to offset declining balances in the available for sale portfolio
and to replace consumer and residential loan repayments. The 1994 increase in
interest and dividends on investment securities was primarily caused by
increased asset-backed securities
34
<PAGE> 35
average balances partially offset by a $1.4 million reversal of tax certificate
accrued interest to previously established allowance accounts, and lower tax
certificate average balances and yields. The decline in tax certificate balances
and yields was attributable to increased competition at annual tax certificate
auctions. During the year ended December 31, 1994, BankAtlantic purchased $172.6
million of five-year asset-backed securities causing the asset-backed securities
average balance to increase from $120,000 during 1993 to $101.9 million during
1994. The asset-backed securities were purchased to replace declining tax
certificate balances.
The increase in interest on deposits during the three months ended March
31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 resulted from higher average
deposit balances during 1996, and an increased proportion of time deposits
compared to transaction accounts. The increased deposit average balances
primarily resulted from deposits acquired in connection with the acquisition of
MegaBank and increased time deposits. As a result, total average deposits
increased from $1.10 billion for the first quarter of 1995 to $1.21 billion
during the first quarter of 1996. The higher short term interest rate
environment during 1995, compared to the previous periods, contributed to a
change in the deposit mix from lower rate transaction accounts to generally
higher rate time deposits. The average deposit mix changed from 51% and 49% of
time deposits and transaction accounts, respectively, for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to 57% and 43% of time deposits and transaction accounts,
respectively, for the same period in 1996. The increase in interest on advances
from FHLB were due to higher average balances partially offset by lower rates.
FHLB advance average balances increased from $112.1 million during the first
three months of 1995 to $145.1 million during the comparable 1996 period.
Furthermore, average FHLB advance rates declined from 5.81% during the 1995
three month period to 5.60% during the same period in 1996. Interest on
subordinated debentures and note payable relates to the $21.0 million of 9%
Debentures issued in September and October 1995 and a $4.0 million note issued
in March 1995. The decline in interest on securities sold under agreements to
repurchase resulted from lower average balances during the 1996 quarter compared
to the same period in 1995. The decline in securities sold under agreements to
repurchase average balances resulted from the higher deposit balances mentioned
above.
The increase in interest expense on deposits for the year ended December
31, 1995 resulted from higher deposit balances during 1995, a change in the
deposit mix from transaction accounts to time deposits, and higher short term
interest rates during 1995 compared to 1994. The increased deposit balances
primarily resulted from $120.2 million of deposits (including non-interest
bearing deposits) acquired with the acquisition of MegaBank and additional
growth in certificate accounts. As a result, average deposits increased from
$1.02 billion during the year ended December 31, 1994 to $1.14 billion during
the comparable 1995 period. The higher short term interest rate environment
during late 1994 through most of 1995 contributed to a change in the deposit mix
from lower rate transaction accounts to generally higher rate certificate
accounts. The average deposit mix changed from 43% and 57% certificate accounts
and transaction accounts, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1994 to
53% and 47% certificate accounts and transaction accounts, respectively, for the
same period in 1995. At December 31, 1995 compared to 1994, certificates of
deposit greater than $100,000 increased by $79.0 million partially due to $25.0
million associated with the MegaBank acquisition and a $15.8 million increase in
public deposits. At March 31, 1996 certificates greater than $100,000 increased
by $11.5 million from December 31, 1995 primarily due to a $6.0 million increase
in public deposits. The increases in interest on advances from FHLB and interest
expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase were due to higher
average balances and rates paid during 1995 compared to 1994. The higher
borrowings were used to fund the purchase of mortgage-backed securities,
investment securities and the acquisition of MegaBank. Interest on subordinated
debentures and note payable relates to the note payable issued in March 1995 and
$21.0 million of 9% Debentures issued in September and October 1995.
The lower interest cost on deposits during 1994 compared to 1993 was due to
lower average rates paid on transaction accounts partially offset by higher
average balances and average rates paid on certificate accounts. Average rates
paid on transaction accounts declined from 2.53% during 1993 to 2.35% during
1994. Certificate account average balances and average rates increased from
$435.6 million and 4.14% during 1993 to $442.1 million and 4.25% during 1994,
respectively. The increase in interest expense on FHLB advances during 1994 was
caused by higher average balances partially offset by lower average rates. FHLB
advance average balances increased from $43.0 million during 1993 to $99.5
million during 1994. The additional
35
<PAGE> 36
borrowings were used to purchase mortgage-backed securities. Average rates
declined due to the maturity of higher rate FHLB advances during 1993 and 1994.
The increase in interest on securities sold under agreements to repurchase was
caused by higher average balances and rates during 1994 compared to 1993. The
higher rates were the result of the rising short-term interest rate environment
during 1994. The decline in interest on Capital Notes and other subordinated
debentures was primarily due to the $6.8 million redemption of 1986 Capital
Notes, the $1.0 million redemption of 14% subordinated debentures during the
third quarter of 1993, and the June 30, 1993 conversion by BFC of approximately
$2.0 million of 13% subordinated debentures into the common stock of
BankAtlantic.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic's average
interest earning assets increased and its average interest bearing liabilities
declined compared to the same period during 1995. Furthermore, BankAtlantic's
rates earned on assets increased and rates paid on liabilities decreased. The
higher balances and yields on earning assets increased interest income by
$953,000 and $687,000, respectively. The lower balances and rates paid on
interest bearing liabilities, other than deposits, reduced interest expense by
$899,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. Such decrease was offset, however, by
higher average balances and average rates on deposits. The increased average
earning asset balances were caused by higher loan average balances partially
offset by lower mortgage-backed and investment securities average balances. The
increased loan average balances resulted from loan originations, loan purchases
and the MegaBank acquisition. The lower mortgage-backed and investment
securities average balances reflect principal repayments and the $73.1 million
mortgage-backed securities sale in March 1996. The increase in rates earned on
average assets resulted from a change in the mix of earning assets to higher
earning loans from lower earning mortgage-backed and investment securities. The
lower rates paid on liabilities, other than deposits, primarily resulted from
lower rates and balances of securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, BankAtlantic's average earning assets
and average interest bearing liabilities increased compared to the 1994 period.
BankAtlantic's rates earned on assets and average rates paid on liabilities also
increased. The higher balances and yields on earning assets increased interest
income by $25.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Likewise, the higher
balances and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities increased interest
expense by $14.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively. The increase in
balances on earning assets and interest paying liabilities was the result of the
acquisition of MegaBank, loan originations, and the purchases of mortgage-backed
and investment securities during 1994 and 1995. The higher rates earned on
earning assets reflects a higher interest rate environment and a $1.4 million
reversal of tax certificate interest income in the 1994 period. The higher rates
paid on liabilities reflect the rising interest rate environment and the shift
in the deposit mix. During the year ended December 31, 1994, BankAtlantic's
average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities increased. The
average rates earned on assets declined whereas the rates paid on liabilities
slightly increased. The higher balances on earning assets increased interest
income by $8.7 million and the lower rates earned on assets decreased interest
income by $4.1 million. The increased interest income was partially offset by
$5.3 million of additional interest expense due to higher volume. The decline in
rates on earning assets also includes the $1.4 million reversal of tax
certificate interest income.
The net interest margin was 4.19% and 3.75% for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increased margin resulted from a
change in the mix of earning assets mentioned above and, primarily, lower rates
and balances of securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The net interest
margin was 4.04%, 4.32% and 4.90% for the three years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The reduced margin during 1995 resulted from higher
deposit and borrowings expense due to rising short term interest rates, and the
shift in the deposit mix and increased borrowings. The increase in borrowing
rates were partially offset by higher rates earned on loans, mortgage-backed and
investment securities. The reduced margin during 1994 compared to 1993 was due
to lower yields earned on investments and mortgage-backed securities, and rising
short-term interest rates on increased borrowings. This was partially offset by
higher loan rates, and the redemption of all Capital Notes and other
subordinated debentures during late 1993. The 1994 margin was impacted by the
$1.4 million reversal of tax certificate interest income.
As previously described, BankAtlantic has attempted to shift the
composition of its loan portfolio to shorter term, adjustable rate, higher
yielding loans from traditional fixed rate, long term residential loans. This
change in portfolio composition is intended to produce a continuing reduction in
BankAtlantic's interest rate
36

margin volatility. However, permanent (5-7 year) commercial real estate loans
are generally considered to involve a higher risk of default than single-family
residential loans. Repayment of construction and permanent commercial real
estate loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the related
real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse
conditions in the real estate market or in the economy. Construction loans
involve additional risks because loan funds are advanced upon the security of
the project under construction, which is of uncertain value prior to completion
of construction.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND PROVISION FOR (REVERSAL OF) LOSSES ON REAL ESTATE
OWNED
The provision for loan losses for first quarter 1996 was $940,000 compared
to $176,000 during the comparable 1995 period. The 1996 increase reflects $1.2
million of consumer loan net charge-offs compared to $362,000 during the first
quarter of 1995 and $171,000 of commercial non-mortgage loan net recoveries in
1996 compared to $491,000 of net recoveries during the first quarter of 1995.
The increase in 1996 consumer loan charge-offs related to a $692,000 increase in
indirect automobile loan charge-offs. BankAtlantic re-entered the indirect
automobile lending market upon its acquisition of MegaBank. The increase in the
indirect automobile loans was due to loans acquired in connection with the
acquisition as well as subsequent production. A determination was made during
the first quarter of 1996 to temporarily decrease production of indirect
automobile loans pending the integration of newly hired automobile lending
personnel. Subject Portfolio charge-offs during the three months ended March 31,
1996 were $278,000 compared to $340,000 during the comparable 1995 period. There
were no recoveries relating to the Covenant and the Subject Portfolio during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the provision for
loan losses was $4.2 million, $2.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The
provision in each of these years was substantially impacted by increasing
consumer loan balances. Consumer loan net charge-offs amounted to $3.3 million,
$1.5 million and $2.1 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Consumer
loan net charge-offs were significantly impacted by recoveries of zero, $1.2
million and $1.0 million associated with the Covenant and the Subject Portfolio
during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The remaining increase in 1995
consumer loan net charge-offs resulted from the acquisition and continuation of
MegaBank's indirect automobile loan operations and portfolio ($52.8 million at
acquisition). In addition, the 1995 provision reflects $738,000 of commercial
39
<PAGE> 40
business loan recoveries compared to $565,000 and $262,000 in 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Included in commercial real estate and business loan charge-offs
during 1994 was a $1.4 million business loan. Specific allowances were
established for this loan during prior years. The allowance for loan losses
increased by $2.8 million during 1995. Of the increase in the allowance for loan
losses, $1.9 million was the amount of the MegaBank allowance for loan losses at
the date of acquisition by BankAtlantic. The remaining increase in the allowance
for loan losses resulted from a $200,000 specific allowance established for an
office building loan and a $600,000 increase in loan loss allowances based on
current delinquency trends, charge-off trends and portfolio levels.
BankAtlantic's "risk elements" consist of restructured loans and
"non-performing" assets. The classification of loans as "non-performing" is
generally based upon non-compliance with loan performance and collateral
coverage standards, as well as management's assessment of problems related to
the borrower's or guarantor's financial condition. BankAtlantic generally
designates any loan that is 90 days or more delinquent as non-performing.
BankAtlantic may also designate loans as non-performing prior to the loan
becoming 90 days delinquent if the borrower's ability to repay is questionable.
A "non-performing" classification alone does not indicate an inherent principal
loss; however, it generally indicates that management does not expect the asset
to earn a contractual rate in the current period. Restructured loans are loans
for which BankAtlantic has modified the loan terms due to the financial
difficulties of the borrower.
At March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, restructured loans
were $3.5 million, $2.5 million, $1.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
Non-performing assets, net of write downs and allowances, were $19.2 million at
March 31, 1996 compared to $21.5 million, $23.2 million and $20.0 million during
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At the February 1995 acquisition
date total non-performing assets relating to the MegaBank portfolio were
approximately $900,000.
Risk elements, net of write downs and dispositions, decreased by $1.3
million at March 31, 1996 to $22.7 million and decreased by $836,000 at December
31, 1995 to $24.0 million and increased by $2.2 million to $24.9 million at
December 31, 1994. The decrease in total risk elements at March 31, 1996
primarily relates to decreases in non-accruals and loans contractually past due
90 days or more. The above 1996 decreases were partially offset by increases in
repossessed assets and restructured loans. The $2.2 million decrease in 1996
nonaccrual loans relates to a $1.2 million commercial real estate loan
restructured during the first quarter of 1996, and the foreclosure of a $700,000
commercial real estate loan. These two loans also account for the 1996 increase
in real estate owned and restructured loans. Also during 1996, residential and
tax certificate nonaccrual balances and loans contractually past due 90 days or
more declined by $328,000, $335,000, and $241,000, respectively. The reduction
in total risk elements during 1995 primarily relates to lower levels of
non-performing assets partially offset by a higher level of restructured loans
and loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing. The lower
1995 real estate owned balances resulted from the sales of $3.3 million of real
estate owned offset by a $1.2 million net reversal of allowance for losses on
real estate owned, and transfers of $1.0 million of loans to real estate owned.
Non-accrual tax certificates declined due to lower balances relating to reduced
investment in tax certificates in 1995 and 1994, repayments and charge-offs. The
lower 1995 non-accrual commercial real estate and business loan balances and the
higher amounts in restructured loans reflect the restructuring of a $3.0 million
commercial real estate loan. BankAtlantic received a $600,000 payment when the
loan was restructured. For financial statement purposes such payment was
initially recorded as a reduction in the basis of the loan. The $800,000
increase in loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing
relates to two commercial real estate loans. The 1995 decrease in non-accrual
loans was partially offset by a $510,000 increase in residential real estate
non-accrual loans and a transfer of a $2.4 million commercial real estate loan
to a non-accruing status. The 1994 risk element net increase primarily related
to a $3.2 million increase in non-performing assets, partially offset by a $1.0
million decrease in restructured loans. The increase in non-performing assets
resulted from non-accrual assets increasing $7.6 million, offset by a $1.8
million decline in loans past due 90 days and still accruing, and a $2.6 million
decline in repossessed assets. The $7.6 million increase in non-accrual assets
was due to the $3.6 million increase in tax certificates and a $5.5 million
increase in non-accrual commercial real estate and business loans, partially
offset by lower residential real estate and consumer non-accruing loan balances.
The inclusion of tax certificates was caused by a change in methodology for
classifying tax certificates and for
40
<PAGE> 41
calculating the allowance for tax certificate losses. This change in methodology
was based upon discussions with certain regulatory agencies. The increase in
commercial real estate and business non-accrual loans was primarily due to three
commercial real estate loans. Loans contractually past due 90 days or more
declined $1.8 million. The change in restructured loans resulted from: (i) two
commercial real estate loans totaling $1.2 million performed based on the
restructured terms for one year and were transferred to an accruing status, (ii)
a $1.1 million commercial real estate loan became delinquent and was
reclassified as a non-accrual loan, and (iii) a $1.6 million commercial land
loan, classified as a non-performing loan at December 31, 1993 was restructured
during the year ended December 31, 1994.
At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 gross real estate loans amounted to
$707.9 million and $652.3 million, respectively, of which $198.4 million and
$179.7 million, respectively, were residential real estate loans which
management believes carry minimal credit risk. The remaining real estate loans
consisted of $375.8 million and $350.2 million of commercial real estate loans
and $133.8 million and $122.4 million of construction and development loans at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Gross other loans amounted
to $276.6 million and $286.4 million at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively, and included commercial business loans and consumer (including
second mortgage) loans of $63.6 million and $64.2 million and $212.9 million and
$222.2 million at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Commercial
real estate, commercial business and consumer loans generally involve greater
risks of collectibility than residential loans; however, management does not
believe that such risks have been greater than normal industry experience for
these types of loans except for the Subject Portfolio discussed under "Financial
Condition."
During the year ended December 31, 1995, management reversed $1.2 million
from the allowance for real estate owned ($1.0 million during the three months
ended March 31, 1995). This decision primarily related to the sale of several
parcels of vacant land. Real estate owned charged-off during the year ended
December 31, 1995 was $213,000 and related to vacant land acquired in connection
with the MegaBank acquisition. There were no real estate owned charge-offs
during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. During the years ended
December 31, 1994, and 1993, BankAtlantic's provisions for losses on real estate
owned were $140,000 and $2.7 million, respectively. For the years ended December
31, 1994, and 1993 charge-offs were $40,000, and $775,000, respectively. The
allowance for real estate owned is established by management based on its
evaluation of foreclosed properties.

</TABLE>
The decrease in loan servicing and other loan fees during the three month
period in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 resulted from higher
amortization of mortgage servicing rights due to increased residential loan
prepayments.
Loan servicing and other loan fees increased during the three years ended
December 31, 1995. The increase for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to
the same period during 1994 resulted from higher loan prepayment penalties and
increased commercial loan commitment fee income. The higher 1994 income compared
to 1993 resulted from an increase in loan servicing income. Income from loan
servicing increased due to rising long term interest rates during the period
causing lower amortization of mortgage servicing rights.
During the third quarter of 1993, BankAtlantic established an investment
policy to increase fee income by selling uncovered European put options on
five-year treasury notes with notional principal not to exceed $10.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 1994, BankAtlantic sold two $5.0 million
U.S. Treasury European put options with expiration dates of April 27, 1994 and
May 31, 1994, respectively. BankAtlantic acquired the two five-year treasury
notes on the respective option expiration dates for $9.7 million and recorded
the notes in the trading category. On May 11, 1995, in order to lock-in the
market values on the above treasury notes, BankAtlantic purchased two 90 day
U.S. Treasury European put options with the proceeds from the sale of two 90 day
U.S. Treasury European call options. The put options and call options had $5.0
million notional principal each and expired on August 7, 1995. The realized and
unrealized gain/loss is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
under "trading account securities" and amounted to an unrealized gain of
$310,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and an unrealized loss of
$558,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, with the 1994 option proceeds
reducing the call on the treasury notes. A net realized gain of $589,000 was
recognized, inclusive of the 1995 options, for the year ended December 31, 1995
on the sale of the trading account securities upon exercise of the call option.
During the year ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, BankAtlantic sold
mortgage servicing rights with a book value of $5.6 million and $2.4 million,
respectively, for gains as reported in the above table. These rights related to
approximately $492.1 million and $233.0 million of loans serviced for others
during 1995 and 1994, respectively. At March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, BankAtlantic serviced loans for the benefit of others amounting to
approximately $2.3 billion, $1.8 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion,
respectively. On February 1, 1996 BankAtlantic began sub-servicing $540 million
of loans for BNA.
The increase in other non-interest income during the first quarter of 1996
compared to the same 1995 period was due to higher fees earned on checking
accounts, ATM services, lease income, and a $125,000 litigation settlement.
Checking account income and ATM fees were $1.9 million and $668,000 for the
first quarter 1996, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $439,000 during
the comparable 1995 period, respectively. Lease income increased from $96,000
during 1995 to $364,000 during the first quarter 1996. The additional lease
income resulted from a rent settlement related to a leased property located in
Broward
44
<PAGE> 45
County. Non-interest income-other increased during the three years ended
December 31, 1995. The higher income during the three year period primarily
related to transaction account and ATM fee income. Transaction account and ATM
fee income increased by $2.6 million during 1995 and $800,000 during 1994.
Transaction account fee income was $7.0 million during 1995 compared to $5.4
million in 1994 and $4.9 million during 1993. The higher fee income during 1995
resulted from an increase in transaction account balances primarily from the
MegaBank acquisition and an increase in the fees charged during the latter part
of 1994 and 1995. ATM fee income was $2.0 million during 1995 compared to
$958,000 and $639,000 during 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1994,
BankAtlantic installed 151 ATMs in Florida Wal-Mart and Sam's Club locations. In
addition, 1994 other non-interest income was also favorably impacted by a
$291,000 gain on the sale of an office building and a $332,000 dormant account
settlement with the State of Florida. The settlement related to a review by the
Florida Comptroller's Office (the "Comptroller") of BankAtlantic's procedures
for the assessment of fees on dormant accounts. On June 30, 1994, all issues
with the Comptroller were resolved, and in connection with such resolution,
BankAtlantic remitted $250,000 to the Comptroller and reversed the remaining
allowance and previously deferred fees, an aggregate of $332,000, to other
non-interest income.

</TABLE>
The increase in employee compensation and benefits for first quarter 1996
resulted from the number of employees increasing from 624 at December 31, 1994
to 746 at December 31, 1995 to 784 at March 31, 1996, as well as annual salary
increases during 1995. The increase in the number of employees primarily relates
to the acquisition of MegaBank effective February 1, 1995 and the opening of six
branches during 1995. BankAtlantic opened three additional Wal-Mart Super Store
branches during the second quarter of 1996 and the personnel for those branches
were on staff at March 31, 1996. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased due
to the new branches mentioned above and the branches acquired with the MegaBank
acquisition. Depreciation expense increased during the comparative three month
periods by $72,000. The additional depreciation expense resulted from the
acquisition of MegaBank and the purchase of $5.5 million and $2.6 million of
fixed assets during the year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended
March 31, 1996, respectively. The increase in employee compensation and benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995 resulted from the increased number of
full-time equivalent employees as well as annual salary increases during 1995.
Approximately 70 of the new employees were associated with the acquisition of
MegaBank and the remaining new employees primarily related to the six new
branches opened during 1995. The increase in employee compensation and benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1994 resulted from increased pension expense,
annual salary increases, higher 1994 incentive bonuses and executive deferred
compensation.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased during the year ended December
31, 1995 compared to the 1994 period due to the acquisition of MegaBank and the
opening of three additional Florida west coast branches and three branches in
South Florida. Furthermore, in December 1994 BankAtlantic converted to a
45
<PAGE> 46
service bureau for the servicing of its residential loans resulting in servicing
expenses of $350,000 during the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to $93,000
during 1994. The service bureau conversion expanded BankAtlantic's capacity to
service loans and is also intended to improve BankAtlantic's customer service.
The decline in occupancy and equipment expense during 1994 when compared to 1993
resulted primarily from reduced depreciation expense partially offset by higher
ATM rental expenses for leased ATMs in Florida Wal-Mart and Sam's Club locations
during the same period.
The increase in advertising and promotion for the year ended December 31,
1995 resulted from increased promotion of lending activities, branch openings
and acquisition related advertising. The increase in advertising expense during
the year ended December 31, 1994 was primarily due to increased media expenses
incurred to promote new transaction account packages and lending activities.

(A) Including a $1.3 million gain related to a property originally acquired
through a tax deed during the year ended December 31, 1995.
The lower earnings in foreclosed asset activity, net during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 was primarily due to a $1.0 million reversal of the
allowance for losses on real estate owned during the three months ended March
31, 1995. This reversal reflected the sales of several parcels of vacant land.
The improvement in foreclosed asset activity, net during the 1995 period
compared to the same period in 1994 was primarily due to the reversal discussed
above. The improvement in foreclosed asset activity, net during the year ended
December 31, 1994 was primarily due to sales of real estate owned which resulted
in lower related operating expenses, a lower provision for losses on real estate
owned and an increase in gains on sales of foreclosed properties. For a further
discussion, see "Provision for Loan Losses and Provision for (Reversal of)
Losses on Real Estate Owned."
The amortization of cost over fair value of net assets acquired relates to
the MegaBank acquisition.
The increase in other non-interest expense during the 1996 quarter compared
to the 1995 quarter was caused by $220,000 of higher legal expenses, $217,000
increase in the provision for tax certificates, $126,000 of higher check losses,
and $122,000 of additional stationery, printing, supplies and telephone expense.
The higher legal expenses related to indirect consumer lending. The provision
for tax certificates was $125,000 during the first quarter of 1996 compared to a
$92,000 recovery during 1995. The additional stationery, printing, supplies and
telephone expenses resulted from the additional six branches opened during 1995
and the MegaBank acquisition. Other non-interest expense increased during the
year ended December 31, 1995 and decreased during the 1994 period. The
additional 1995 non-interest expenses related to $538,000 of increased
stationery, printing, supplies and telephone expenses, $660,000 of higher legal
costs, a $283,000 increase in ATM expenses, a $260,000 decline in the provision
for tax certificates and a write-off of $400,000 associated with a Senior Note
offering withdrawn in March 1995. The increased stationery, printing, supplies
and telephone expense were associated with the acquisition of five MegaBank
branches and the opening of three South Florida branches and three Florida west
coast branches. The higher legal expenses during 1995 related to $1.1 million of
Subject Portfolio legal costs. During 1994 and 1993, legal costs were reimbursed
pursuant to the terms of the Covenant, while only $120,000 were reimbursed
during 1995. The ATM expense increase resulted from the addition of
approximately 151 ATMs in Wal-Mart and Sam's Club Florida
46
<PAGE> 47
locations during 1994. Other non-interest expense decreased during the year
ended December 31, 1994 due to a reduction of $1.5 million in the provision for
tax certificates, partially offset by increased legal fees, ATM related expenses
and operating expenses. The decline in the provision for tax certificates
related to the change in methodology for classification of tax certificates and
determination of the related allowance previously discussed under "Provision for
Loan Losses and Provision for (Reversal of) Losses on Real Estate Owned". ATM
related expenses during 1994 increased due to the ATM installations discussed
above. Legal fees were $200,000 higher in 1994 primarily due to legal fee
recoveries reflected in 1993 for various corporate loans.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES, INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND LOANS
In 1994, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS 115") was
implemented and upon implementation, BankAtlantic transferred all of its fixed
rate mortgage-backed securities having original terms of 15 and 30 years to
maturity, which were classified as held for sale during prior periods, to
available for sale at December 31, 1994. The effect of implementing FAS 115 at
December 31, 1994 was to increase the amount stated for mortgage-backed
securities available for sale by $314,000, record related deferred income taxes
of $121,000, and reflect the net of these amounts, $193,000, as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. During the year ended December 31, 1995
BankAtlantic acquired $10.0 million and $8.1 million of government obligations
and collateralized mortgage obligations in connection with the MegaBank
acquisition and designated these securities as available for sale. Based upon
the guidance provided in a Special Report issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB"), BankAtlantic reassessed its security classifications.
As a result of this reassessment, effective December 15, 1995, BankAtlantic
transferred all of its mortgage-backed securities and investment securities,
excluding tax certificates, classified as held-to-maturity to available for
sale. The securities transferred had a carrying value of $638.8 million and an
estimated fair value of $644.1 million resulting in a net increase to
stockholders' equity for the net unrealized appreciation of $3.3 million after
deduction of applicable income taxes of $1.2 million. During the three months
ended March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic sold $52.6 million of adjustable rate
mortgage-backed securities and $20.5 million of 15 year mortgage-backed
securities for a $2.3 million gain. During the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, BankAtlantic sold $15.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of
recently originated residential loans for gains of $164,000 and $65,000,
respectively. During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
BankAtlantic sold $34.2 million, $38.2 million and $45.0 million, respectively
of recently originated fixed rate and adjustable rate residential loans for
gains of $395,000, $773,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. BankAtlantic
currently sells substantially all fixed rate residential real estate loans it
originates and retains a portion of adjustable rate mortgages originated. During
the year ended December 31, 1995 two $5.0 million treasury notes classified as
trading account securities were sold for a $589,000 net realized gain. At
December 31, 1994, the market value of trading account securities was less than
BankAtlantic's original cost. The unrealized loss on trading account securities
of $558,000 is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1994. An unrealized gain on trading account securities
of $310,000 was recognized as of March 31, 1995.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 1994 BankAtlantic reversed $1.4 million
of accrued interest on tax certificates. The average yield on tax
certificates during the period, excluding the reversal of $1.4 million, was
9.31%
Included in gains on sales of real estate owned for the year ended December
31, 1995 was approximately $1.3 million related to a property originally
acquired through a tax deed.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
BankAtlantic's total assets at March 31, 1996 were $1.64 billion compared
to $1.75 billion at December 31, 1995. Debt securities available for sale and
tax certificates decreased by $132.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively,
whereas loans receivable-net increased $34.7 million. The decline in debt
securities available for sale reflects the sale of $73.1 million of
mortgage-backed securities and $52.9 million of principal repayments. The
decline in tax certificate balance reflects $9.4 million of redemptions during
1996. The increase in loan receivable balances is due to loan fundings,
including loans funded for resale, and loan purchases during 1996 amounting to
$183.9 million, and loan sales and repayments amounting to $147.8 million.
BankAtlantic's total assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $1.75 billion and
$1.54 billion, respectively. The increase in total assets was primarily the
result of a $282.2 million increase in loans receivable partially offset by a
$86.7 million decrease in debt securities (debt securities in 1994 includes
mortgage-backed and investment securities held to maturity and trading account
securities but excludes tax certificates) and a $11.3 million decrease in tax
certificates. The loans receivable increase reflects $116.4 million of loans
acquired in the MegaBank acquisition and $648.5 million of loan fundings and
purchases during 1995. The loan fundings were partially offset by $444.9 million
of principal reductions on loans and $34.2 million of loan sales. The decline in
mortgage-backed securities balances resulted from $199.8 million of principal
reductions, partially offset by the purchase of approximately $75.3 million of
adjustable rate debt securities and the $18.1 million of debt securities
acquired in connection with the MegaBank acquisition. The 1995 tax certificate
balance reflects repayments of $63.1 million partially offset by the purchase of
$44.0 million of tax certificates at auction and $7.7 million purchased in
connection with Applications for Deed.
During first quarter 1996 deposits increased by $22.9 million. The increase
in net deposits resulted from time deposit and interest free checking growth.
Time deposits and interest free checking increased from $676.3 million and $99.0
million at December 31, 1995 to $690.0 million and $107.9 million, respectively,
at March 31, 1996. FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, and federal funds purchased declined by $138.3 million, $22.4
million and $1.2 million, respectively, from December 1995 balances. The

<PAGE> 52
December 31, 1995, deposits increased by $214.6 million including deposits
acquired in connection with the MegaBank acquisition ($120.2 million at
acquisition). The remaining net deposit increase resulted from an increase in
certificates of deposit. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase declined
by $83.6 million. The redemption of preferred stock, repayment of securities
sold under agreement to repurchase, the acquisition of MegaBank, loan
originations, and the purchases of loans, debt securities and tax certificates
were primarily funded through proceeds from FHLB advances, federal funds
purchased, loan and debt securities repayments, and proceeds from the issuance
of 9% Debentures.

</TABLE>
Subject Portfolio -- From 1987 through 1990, BankAtlantic purchased in
excess of $50 million of indirect home improvement loans from certain dealers,
primarily in the northeastern United States. BankAtlantic ceased purchasing
loans from such dealers in the latter part of 1990. These dealers are affiliated
with each other but are not affiliated with BankAtlantic. In connection with
loans originated through these dealers, BankAtlantic funded amounts to the
dealers as a dealer reserve. Such loans and related dealer reserves are
hereafter referred to as the Subject Portfolio. The risk of amounts advanced to
the dealers is primarily associated with loan performance but secondarily is
dependent on the financial condition of the dealers. The dealers were to be
responsible to BankAtlantic for the amount of the reserve only if the loan
giving rise to the reserve became delinquent or was prepaid. One of the dealers
filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, while the
other dealers have not indicated any financial ability to meet any obligation
relating to the dealer reserve.
In late 1990, questions arose relating to the practices and procedures used
in the origination and underwriting of the Subject Portfolio, which suggested
that the dealers, certain home improvement contractors and borrowers, together
with certain former employees of BankAtlantic, engaged in practices intended to
defraud BankAtlantic. Due to these questions and potential exposure,
BankAtlantic performed, and continues to perform, certain investigations,
notified appropriate regulatory and law enforcement agencies, and notified its
fidelity bond carrier (the "carrier"). After an initial review and discussions
with the carrier, BankAtlantic concluded that any losses sustained from the
Subject Portfolio would adequately be covered by its fidelity bond coverage and,
in fact, on August 13, 1991, the carrier advanced $1.5 million against
BankAtlantic's losses. This payment and other payments by the carrier were
subject to identification and confirmation of the losses which are appropriately
covered under the fidelity bond.
Subsequently, commencing in September, 1991, as a consequence of issues
raised by the carrier, BankAtlantic reviewed the Subject Portfolio without
regard to the availability of any fidelity bond coverage. As a result of the
review, the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1991 was
increased by approximately $5.7 million, approximately $5.5 million of loans
were charged off, and $2.7 million of dealer reserves were charged to current
operations. On December 20, 1991, the carrier denied coverage and BankAtlantic
thereafter filed an appropriate action against the carrier. On October 30, 1992,
BankAtlantic and
56
<PAGE> 57
the carrier entered into the Covenant not to Execute (the "Covenant"). Pursuant
to the Covenant, BankAtlantic will continue to pursue its litigation against the
carrier, but has agreed to limit execution on any judgment obtained against the
carrier to $18 million. Further, BankAtlantic agreed to join certain third
parties as defendants in that action. The carrier paid BankAtlantic $6.1 million
during the fourth quarter of 1992, $3 million in November 1993, and an
additional $2.9 million in November 1994. Such amounts related to losses and
expenses previously charged to operations by BankAtlantic. Additional
reimbursements have been made on a quarterly reporting basis commencing with the
period ended December 31, 1992. Reimbursable amounts are as defined in the
Covenant. Based upon such definitions BankAtlantic recorded estimated charges to
operations in advance of when such charges became reimbursable. Amounts
reimbursed were reflected in the period for which the reimbursement is related.
Through December 31, 1995 and 1994, the carrier paid or committed to pay
approximately $18.0 million and $17.9 million, respectively. The financial
statement effect of the Covenant for the fourth quarter and year ended December
31, 1992 was to reduce expenses by $3.3 million, increase interest income by
$1.9 million and to record $7.3 million of loan loss recoveries. Included in
other assets at December 31, 1994 was $594,000 due from the carrier but no
amounts were due from the carrier at March 31, 1996 or December 31, 1995. In no
event will the carrier be obligated to pay BankAtlantic in the aggregate more
than $18 million, which amount has been fully paid. However, in the event of
recovery by BankAtlantic of damages from third party wrongdoers, BankAtlantic
will be entitled to retain such amounts until such amounts, plus any payments
received from the carrier, equal $22 million. Thereafter, the carrier will be
entitled to any such recoveries to the extent of its payments to BankAtlantic.
To the extent that BankAtlantic incurs losses in excess of $18 million plus
available recoveries from third parties, BankAtlantic will be required to absorb
any such losses. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the remaining amount
of reimbursement available from the carrier was approximately zero, and such
amount was approximately $120,000 at December 31, 1994. BankAtlantic also agreed
to exercise reasonable collection activities with regard to the Subject
Portfolio and to provide the carrier with a credit for any recoveries with
respect to such loans against future losses that the carrier would otherwise be
obligated to reimburse. The carrier has no further obligations for
reimbursement. In August 1994, BankAtlantic filed an action against the dealers,
certain home improvement contractors, and various individuals seeking
compensatory and other damages. On February 17, 1995, the United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of New York and the Assistant Attorney General, Tax
Division, United States Department of Justice, announced that the President of
the dealers noted above had pleaded guilty to bank fraud, bribery and tax fraud
conspiracy charges. The guilty plea states that BankAtlantic was one of the
financial institutions which was defrauded by the dealers and various home
improvement contractors.
Three actions have been filed, two in New Jersey and one in New York,
relating to the Subject Portfolio. One of the New Jersey actions was brought on
behalf of the State of the New Jersey and the others purport to be class actions
on behalf of named and unnamed plaintiffs that may have obtained loans from
dealers who subsequently sold the loans to financial institutions including
BankAtlantic. Each of the New Jersey actions seek civil remedies against certain
contractors and a named dealer and also seeks to cancel or modify certain
mortgage loans. Although BankAtlantic was not a named party in the State of New
Jersey action, it sought to protect its interest in certain loans and entered
into an Alternative Dispute Resolution Agreement (the "ADR") with the state of
New Jersey. The ADR established procedures for determining whether certain
consumers were entitled to relief under the terms of their loans. Pursuant to
the ADR, BankAtlantic offered relief to certain consumers in the form of reduced
future interest rates, or reductions or forgiveness of principal. As part of the
ADR, the State of New Jersey agreed not to seek rescission of any of the
mortgage loans held by BankAtlantic. The ADR was completed in 1995 and
BankAtlantic obtained a release from the State of New Jersey for any claims
relating to the mortgage loans. The second New Jersey action was commenced
immediately after completion of the ADR. The New York and New Jersey actions,
which were brought against over 25 parties, including BankAtlantic, purport to
be class actions on behalf of named and unnamed plaintiffs that may have
obtained loans from dealers who subsequently sold the loans to financial
institutions including BankAtlantic. Both the remaining New Jersey action and
the New York action seek, among other things, rescission of the loan agreements
and damages. In November 1995, the court in the second New Jersey action entered
an order dismissing the complaint against BankAtlantic; plaintiffs appealed this
ruling. In January 1996, the Appellate Court reversed the lower court's decision
and remanded the case
57
<PAGE> 58
back to trial court to determine whether the action may be maintained as a class
action. The reversal was without prejudice to BankAtlantic's right to renew
their summary judgment motion after the trial court has made a determination as
to plaintiff's ability to maintain this case as a class action. In October 1995,
the court in the New York action preliminarily approved a settlement proposed by
the parties pursuant to which members of the class who timely file a proof of
claim would be entitled to relief in the form of reduced future interest rates
and reductions of principal. The settlement, as presently structured, will have
no significant impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
The balance of the loans associated with the Subject Portfolio amounted to
approximately $13.0 million, $14.2 million and $18.7 million at March 31, 1996,
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The related dealer reserve had been
completely charged-off by December 31, 1993. Charge-offs relating to the Subject
Portfolio amounted to $278,000 and $340,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively, and $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $972,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. All 1994 and 1993
charge-offs were recovered from the carrier while no charged-off amounts were
recovered from the carrier in 1995 and 1996. At March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995, 10% of the loans were secured by collateral in South Florida and 90% were
secured by collateral in the northeastern United States. Collateral for these
loans is generally a second mortgage on the borrower's property. However, it
appears that in most cases the property is encumbered with loans having high
loan to value ratios. Loans in the Subject Portfolio are charged-off if payments
are more than 90 days delinquent. While management believes that established
reserves will be adequate to cover any additional losses that BankAtlantic may
incur from the Subject Portfolio or the above described litigation, there is no
assurance that this will be the case.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
BankAtlantic's operating objectives have in the past included actions to
increase its regulatory capital and to reduce its negative interest rate
sensitivity gap. However, activities in furtherance of these objectives
sometimes involve conflicting short term strategies. In general, BankAtlantic
has attempted to address its interest rate sensitivity objectives through (i)
the replacement of fixed rate, long term securities with floating rate
mortgage-backed securities and commercial loans or intermediate term fixed rate,
balloon mortgage-backed securities, (ii) restructuring deposit liabilities by
reducing interest rate sensitive certificates of deposit as a percent of total
liabilities and focusing on transaction accounts, and (iii) changing the
emphasis of loan originations. See "Mortgage-Backed Securities, Investment
Securities and Loans."
Included in investment securities are tax certificates, adjustable rate
mortgage-backed securities, five and seven-year balloon mortgage-backed
securities, REMICs and asset-backed securities with balances of approximately
$40.5 million and $49.9 million, $100.3 million and $168.8 million, $350.3
million and $371.1 million, $7.6 million and $7.2 million, and $57.2 million and
$69.4 million respectively, at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.
At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, debt securities available for sale
included $3.4 million in face amount of fixed rate corporate bonds and $21.2
million in face amount of Federal Agency obligations which
have fixed maturities during 1996 and 1998, respectively. Absent a change in
credit quality, the fair value of these securities will generally increase in a
declining interest rate environment and will generally decrease in a rising
interest rate environment. However, any such increase or decrease in fair value
over par value will diminish as the security approaches maturity at which time
the fair value will generally equal the par value. Also included in debt
securities available for sale are fixed rate "asset-backed securities" for which
monthly principal and interest payments are received. The impact on fair values
of this type of security is similar to that for the corporate bonds and Federal
Agency obligations discussed above. During a rising (declining) interest rate
environment it is possible that prepayments of the underlying loans will
decrease (increase). However, the maximum term of the securities is
approximately five years and management estimates that approximately 50% of the
original principal amount of these securities will be paid within 18 months of
the issuance date.
BankAtlantic has been attempting to change the composition of its loan
portfolio from predominately long term, fixed rate residential real estate loans
by emphasizing the origination of floating rate commercial business and
commercial real estate loans, which generally are of a two to five year
duration. These types of loans generally have higher interest rates than
residential loans. However, these loans also involve a greater credit risk and
will generally result in higher loan loss experience than that of traditional
residential lending. Management is of the opinion that the increased credit risk
will be offset by the increased rates earned on such loans and the positive
effect these shorter terms have on the interest rate sensitivity gap.
Origination and underwriting policies and practices for such loans are designed
to limit BankAtlantic's exposure to normal industry risk for this form of
lending. Upon the acquisition of MegaBank in February 1995, BankAtlantic
continued MegaBank's indirect installment lending program with automobile
dealerships in South Florida that had established relationships with the former
MegaBank. The loans originated through this program generally have greater
credit risk than direct consumer lending. BankAtlantic anticipates consumer loan
originations during 1996 will increase from amounts originated in the three
years prior to the acquisition of MegaBank and intends to expand indirect
automobile lending beyond MegaBank's prior activities. A determination was made
during the first quarter of 1996 to temporarily decrease production of indirect
automobile loans pending the integration of newly hired automobile lending
personnel. BankAtlantic continues to originate fixed rate residential real
estate loans with 15 and 30 year amortization periods, but substantially all
these loans are originated for sale. BankAtlantic currently has plans to
increase the number of residential loans which it originates or acquires from
others. Banker's acceptances at December 31, 1993 were $109.9 million, all of
which were purchased in the fourth quarter of 1993 and all of which matured in
the first quarter of 1994. Based upon BankAtlantic's capital position, alternate
uses for funds and availability of acceptable borrowing alternatives,
BankAtlantic may continue to utilize banker's acceptances to increase interest
income.
60
<PAGE> 61
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
BankAtlantic's net earnings are materially impacted by the difference
between the income it receives from its loan portfolio, tax certificates and
debt securities available for sale (primarily mortgage-backed securities) and
its cost of funds. The interest paid by BankAtlantic on deposits and borrowings
determines its cost of funds. The yield on BankAtlantic's loan portfolio changes
principally as a result of loan repayments, the interest rate and the volume of
new loans. Fluctuations in income from debt securities will occur based on the
amount invested during the period and interest rate levels yielded by such
securities. BankAtlantic's net interest spread will fluctuate in response to
interest rate changes.
Like many savings institutions, BankAtlantic's interest rate sensitive
liabilities (generally, deposits with maturities of one year or less) have in
the past exceeded its interest rate sensitive assets (assets which reprice based
on an index or which have short term maturities). This imbalance is referred to
as a negative interest rate sensitivity gap, and measures an institution's
ability to adjust to changes in the general level of interest rates. The effect
of the "mismatch" is that a rise in interest rates will have a negative impact
on earnings as the cost of funds increases to a greater extent than the yield
earned on interest-earning assets, while a decline in interest rates will have a
positive impact on earnings. The larger the gap, whether positive or negative,
the greater the impact of changing interest rates. Currently, BankAtlantic has a
positive interest rate sensitivity gap, which provides the opportunity to
increase earnings in a rising interest rate environment due to its ability to
reprice more assets than liabilities.
One of BankAtlantic's long term objectives has been the reduction of its
interest rate sensitivity gap. However, short-term strategies may differ from
this objective in order to meet other objectives, such as compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements. Nonetheless, BankAtlantic has taken steps,
when possible, to minimize its interest rate sensitivity gap. Such actions have
in the past included reducing fixed rate residential mortgage loan production
held for portfolio, purchasing shorter term and adjustable rate mortgage-backed
securities and increasing its emphasis on the production of floating rate
commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans which generally have
a shorter duration and a higher yield than longer term fixed rate residential
mortgage loans. Also, extensive efforts have been made to attract transaction
accounts which are non-interest bearing or are generally less rate sensitive
than other types of accounts. These actions have involved employing experienced
commercial bankers, focusing sales and marketing on transaction oriented
customer segments, training existing staff in product sales and commercial
operations, offering new transaction products, improving data processing so as
to handle increased check clearing and building and remodeling branches so as to
accommodate transaction account customers. Further, BankAtlantic has reduced the
rates which it offers on certificates of deposit to the rates generally offered
by commercial banks (rates generally lower than those offered by savings and
loan institutions).
BankAtlantic's one year interest rate sensitivity gap ratio, which is the
difference between the amount of interest bearing liabilities which are
projected to mature or reprice within one year and the amount of interest
earning assets which are similarly projected to mature or reprice, all divided
by total assets, amounted to a negative 13.74% at December 31, 1994. The gap
ratio was a negative 2.49% at December 31, 1995 and a positive 1.80% at March
31, 1996. The changes in the interest rate sensitivity gap ratio reflects the
purchase of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities, the origination of
floating rate commercial loans, and declining interest rates during the latter
part of 1995. The absolute amount of BankAtlantic's one year gap changed from a
negative $211.6 million at December 31, 1994, to a negative $43.6 million at
December 31, 1995 to a positive $29.6 million at March 31, 1996.
At March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic had a positive one year cumulative gap of
1.80% and a positive cumulative gap of 7.96%, 9.87%, 19.60%, 20.43%, 15.96%,
16.49% and 16.49% for 0-90 days, 91-180 days, 1-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-10 years,
10-20 years and greater than 20 years, respectively. The positive one year gap
position at March 31, 1996 may, as noted above, have a negative impact on
earnings in a falling interest rate environment.
Management considers BankAtlantic's current gap position to be within
acceptable parameters. To the extent the gap position deviates from this
position, actions which could be taken, if deemed appropriate, include the
lengthening or shortening of maturities for borrowings and investment security
purchases,
61

disposing of debt securities which are available for sale as well as purchasing
variable rate rather than fixed rate investment securities.
In August 1993, the OTS adopted a final rule incorporating an interest-rate
risk component into the risk-based capital regulation. Under the rule, an
institution with a greater than "normal" level of interest-rate risk will be
subject to a deduction of its interest-rate risk component from total capital
for purposes of calculating the risk-based capital requirement. As a result,
such an institution will be required to maintain additional capital in order to
comply with the risk-based capital requirement. An institution with a greater
than normal interest-rate risk is defined as an institution that would suffer a
loss of net portfolio value exceeding 2.0% in the event of a 200 basis point
increase or decrease (with certain minor exceptions) in interest rates. Net
portfolio value is the difference between incoming and outgoing discounted cash
flows from assets, liabilities and off balance sheet contracts. One-half of the
difference between this loss of net portfolio value and 2.0% multiplied by the
market value of its assets is the interest rate risk component as calculated
quarterly. The rule also authorizes the director of the OTS, or his designee, to
waive or defer an institution's interest-rate risk component on a case-by-case
basis. The OTS implemented the interest-rate risk capital deduction on June 30,
1995. However, in a letter dated March 20, 1995, the OTS stated no institution
would be required to deduct capital for interest rate risk or to report such a
deduction until guidance is issued describing the appeals process for the
deduction. Any December 31, 1995 deduction would have been based on the lesser
of the March 1995, June 1995 or September 1995 interest rate risk components,
likewise the March 31, 1996 deduction would have been based on the lesser of the
June 1995, September 1995 and December 1995 interest rate risk components. Based
on the foregoing, at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, no interest rate risk
deduction to capital would have been required.
Presented below is an analysis of BankAtlantic's interest rate risk at
December 31, 1995 (the latest date for which information was available), as
calculated by the OTS, based on information provided to the OTS by BankAtlantic.
The table measures changes in BankAtlantic's net portfolio value for
instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve in 100 basis point
increments up or down at the date measured. (dollars in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity refers to BankAtlantic's ability to generate sufficient cash to
meet funding needs to support loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals and to
pay operating expenses. BankAtlantic's securities portfolio provides an internal
source of liquidity as a consequence of its short-term investments as well as
scheduled maturities and interest payments. Loan repayments and sales also
provide an internal source of liquidity.

The changes in cash used or provided in operating activities are affected
by the changes in operations, which are discussed elsewhere herein, and by
certain other adjustments. These other adjustments include additions to
operating cash flows for nonoperating charges such as depreciation and the
provision for loan losses and write downs of assets. Cash flow from operating
activities is also adjusted to reflect the use or the providing of cash for
increases and decreases in operating assets and decreases or increases in
operating liabilities. Accordingly, the changes in cash flow of operating
activities in the periods indicated above has been impacted not only by the
changes in operations during the periods but also by these other adjustments.
Management believes that the Company and BankAtlantic have adequate
liquidity to meet their business needs and regulatory requirements.
The Company's primary sources of funds during the first three months of
1996 were the proceeds of the issuance of Class A Common Stock and dividends
from BankAtlantic. The primary use of funds was to pay cash dividends to common
stockholders and interest expense on its outstanding $21.0 million of 9%
Debentures and contribute capital to BankAtlantic. It is anticipated that funds
for payments of interest and dividends will continue to be obtained from
BankAtlantic. Additionally, the ultimate repayment by the Company of its
outstanding 9% Debentures and the Debentures offered hereby may be dependent
upon dividends from BankAtlantic, refinancing of the debt or raising additional
equity capital by the Company. The Company currently anticipates that it will
pay regular quarterly cash dividends on its common stock. Funds for dividend
payments and interest expense on the Debentures offered hereby are in part
dependent upon BankAtlantic's ability to pay dividends to the Company.
BankAtlantic's primary sources of funds during the first three months of
1996 were from operations, principal collected on loans, mortgage-backed
securities, investment securities, sales of debt securities available for sale,
deposits inflows, proceeds from the capital contribution from the Company and
receipts of advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance. These funds were
primarily utilized for loan fundings, repayments of FHLB advances, securities
sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased. At March 31,
1996, BankAtlantic met all applicable liquidity and regulatory capital
requirements.
Historically, BankAtlantic's primary sources of funds have been deposits,
principal repayments of loans, debt securities available for sale and tax
certificates, proceeds from the sale of loans originated for sale,
mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, proceeds from securities
sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from the FHLB, operations, other
borrowing, and capital transactions. These funds were primarily utilized to fund
loan disbursements, repayments of securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, maturities of advances from the FHLB, repay the note payable, redeem
the preferred stock, purchases of mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed
securities, tax certificates and banker's acceptances and payments of
64
<PAGE> 65
maturing certificates of deposit. During October 1992 and December 1993, the
FHLB granted BankAtlantic, subject to various terms and conditions, lines of
credit for $300 million and $115 million expiring in October 1995 and December
1994, respectively. These existing FHLB lines of credit were canceled in August
1994, and a $300 million credit availability was established with a maximum term
of ten years. BankAtlantic also has three $5.0 million lines of credit with
three federally insured banking institutions to purchase Federal Funds. At March
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the outstanding balances for these lines of
credit were none and $1.2 million, respectively.
Regulations currently require that savings institutions maintain an average
daily balance of liquid assets (cash and short-term United States Government and
other specified securities) equal to 5% of net withdrawable accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. BankAtlantic had a liquidity ratio of
21.42% and 23.24% under these regulations at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995, respectively. See "Regulation and Supervision -- Savings Institution
Regulations -- Liquidity Requirements of the OTS."
Total commitments to originate loans and purchase asset-backed securities
and mortgage-backed securities, excluding the undisbursed portion of loans in
process, were approximately $95.4 million, $69.7 million, $83.9 million, and
$64.3 million at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
BankAtlantic funded its commitments out of loan repayments and, for a limited
period of time, short-term borrowings. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
loan commitments were approximately 11.05% and 8.42% of loans receivable, net,
respectively.
On August 8, 1995, the FDIC established a reduced deposit insurance
assessment rate schedule of 4 to 31 basis points ($.04 to $.31 for every $100 of
assessable deposits) for BIF members retroactive to May 1995. The FDIC further
reduced the premiums applicable to BIF deposits, effective January 1, 1996, to a
minimum flat fee of $2,000 to a maximum assessment of 27 basis points. Under the
new assessment rate schedule, approximately 92% of BIF members will pay only the
minimum fee while SAIF members are subject to the existing assessment rate
schedule of 23 to 31 basis points. BankAtlantic pays deposit insurance premiums
primarily to the SAIF and secondarily, to the BIF in connection with the
deposits it acquired as a result of the acquisition of MegaBank. At March 31,
1996, BankAtlantic had approximately $135 million of deposits subject to BIF
premiums and $1.2 billion subject to SAIF premiums.
The disparity in insurance premiums between those required for financial
institutions with all or primarily SAIF insured deposits and those with all or
primarily BIF deposits generally allows BIF members to attract and retain
deposits at a lower effective cost. The resulting competitive disadvantage could
also result in BankAtlantic having to raise its deposit rates to remain
competitive or lose deposits to BIF members who may decide to pay higher rates
of interest on deposits because of the lower deposit insurance premiums.
Although BankAtlantic has other sources of funds, such sources may be more
costly than the cost of deposits.
Several alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF premium
disparity have been proposed by the U.S. Congress, federal regulators, industry
lobbyists and the Clinton Administration. One plan to recapitalize the SAIF that
has gained the support of several sponsors would require all SAIF members
institutions, including BankAtlantic, to pay a one-time fee of approximately 85
basis points on the amount of SAIF-insured deposits held by the member
institution at March 31, 1995. This fee would amount to approximately $6.1
million on an after tax basis to BankAtlantic and, if this proposal is enacted
into law, the effect would most likely be an immediate charge to earnings. In
addition, BNA is also subject to the proposed one-time fee since all of its
deposits are SAIF-insured deposits; however, management believes that the
assessment would be reduced by 20% based on BNA's status as a "de novo sasser
bank" as defined by the proposed legislation. The fee associated with BNA's
SAIF-insured deposits would amount to approximately $1.8 million on an after tax
basis. The Company is unable to predict whether this proposal or any similar
proposal will be enacted or whether ongoing SAIF premiums will be reduced to a
level equal to that of BIF premiums.
The Company has been considering converting BankAtlantic's charter to that
of a commercial bank. If BankAtlantic's charter were to be converted, the impact
to the Consolidated Statement of Operations under current regulations would be a
charge to income of approximately $3.2 million relating to the recapture of the
bad debt deduction for Federal income tax purposes. The Company is not presently
pursuing a conversion of BankAtlantic's charter since it is awaiting the outcome
of the legislative proposals relating to the disparity of
65
<PAGE> 66
the BIF/SAIF premiums, which include a consideration of the treatment of the
recapture of the bad debt deduction as well as the possible consolidation of
bank and thrift charters. Even if BankAtlantic's charter was converted to that
of a commercial bank, under current regulations BankAtlantic's current SAIF
deposits would remain subject to SAIF assessments unless BankAtlantic paid
significant entrance and exit fees and assessments.
During 1995, the Company issued in a public offering $21.0 million in
principal amount of 9% Debentures due October 1, 2005. The 9% Debenture
Indenture provides that the Company cannot declare or pay dividends on, or
purchase, redeem or acquire for value its capital stock, return any capital to
holders of capital stock as such, or make any distribution of assets to holders
of capital stock as such, unless, from and after the date of any such dividend
declaration (a "Declaration Date") or the date of any such purchase, redemption,
payment or distribution (a "Redemption Date"), the Company retains cash, cash
equivalents (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles) or marketable securities (with a market value as measured on the
applicable Declaration Date or Redemption Date) in an amount sufficient to cover
the two consecutive semi-annual interest payments that will be due and payable
on the Debentures following such Declaration Date or Redemption Date, as the
case may be. The 9% Debentures further provides that the amount of any interest
payment made by the Company with respect to the 9% Debentures after any
applicable Declaration Date or Redemption Date shall be deducted from the
aggregate amount of cash or cash equivalents which the Company shall be required
to retain pursuant to the foregoing provision. At March 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995 the Company designated $1.9 million of Federal Agency investments to
satisfy the above provision. The Debentures offered herein will rank pari passu
with the 9% Debentures.
On April 9, 1996, BankAtlantic, entered into an agreement to acquire BNAB
for approximately $54 million in cash. The acquisition will be accounted for as
a purchase for financial reporting purposes. BNAB's primary asset is its wholly
owned subsidiary, BNA, a Florida chartered commercial bank. BNA has 13 branches,
with 11 located in Broward county, one in Dade county and one in Palm Beach
county. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of
1996, subject to certain conditions including receipt of all required regulatory
approvals. It is anticipated that a significant portion of the proceeds of this
offering will be contributed by the Company to BankAtlantic. (See "Use of
Proceeds").
On April 24, 1996, BankAtlantic signed a contract with M&I Data Services a
division of the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, ("M&I") to provide data
processing services for seven years. The conversion to the M&I service bureau is
anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1996. The purpose of the
conversion is to increase capacity as well as improve customer service and
operational effectiveness. The estimated annual expenses for the service bureau
are approximately $2.4 million. The Company anticipates that it will be
investing $2.1 million in technology upgrades, primarily computer equipment.
As more fully described under "Regulation and Supervision -- Savings
Institution Regulations -- Capital Requirements," BankAtlantic is required to
meet all capital standards promulgated pursuant to FIRREA and FDICIA.

To be considered "well capitalized," a savings institution must generally
have a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
at least 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. Management
believes that at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, BankAtlantic met the
definition of "well capitalized".
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The financial statements and related financial data and notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement
of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars,
without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time
due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of BankAtlantic are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates
have a more significant impact on BankAtlantic's performance than the effects of
general price levels. Although interest rates generally move in the same
direction as inflation, the magnitude of such changes varies. The possible
effect of fluctuating interest rates is discussed more fully under the previous
section entitled "Interest Rate Sensitivity."

BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company, formed in April 1994 under the laws of the State of Florida,
is the holding company for BankAtlantic. The Company acquired all of the capital
stock of BankAtlantic on July 13, 1994 pursuant to the holding company
reorganization. The Company's principal asset is its ownership of all of the
capital stock of BankAtlantic. As a unitary savings bank holding company, the
Company is registered with the OTS and is subject to OTS regulations,
examinations, supervision and reporting. See "Regulation and Supervision."
BankAtlantic is a federal savings bank headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida that provides traditional retail banking services, a full range of
commercial banking products and related financial services directly and through
subsidiary corporations. The principal business of BankAtlantic is attracting
checking and savings deposits from the public and general business customers and
using these deposits to originate commercial, residential and consumer loans and
to make other permitted investments such as mortgage-backed securities and other
investment securities. BankAtlantic has attempted to shift its primary
activities from those of a traditional savings and loan to those generally
associated with commercial banking. In an effort to cause its loan portfolio to
adjust more rapidly to market conditions, BankAtlantic has shifted its emphasis
in lending from fixed-rate, long-term residential loans to shorter term and
variable rate consumer and commercial loans and investments. BankAtlantic
currently operates through 46 branch offices primarily located in Dade, Broward
and Palm Beach Counties in South Florida. As reported by an independent
statistical reporting service, BankAtlantic is currently the largest independent
financial institution headquartered in Broward County, Florida and third in size
among all savings institutions headquartered in the State of Florida, based on
consolidated assets at December 31, 1995, the most recent date utilized by such
reporting service. BankAtlantic is regulated and examined by the OTS and the
FDIC and its deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC.
BankAtlantic's revenues are derived principally from interest earned on
loans, mortgage-backed securities, tax certificates, investment securities and
fees earned on deposits. BankAtlantic's major expense items are interest paid on
deposits and borrowings, provision for loan losses and general and
administrative expenses.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
General -- BankAtlantic's lending activities are currently divided into
three primary segments: residential real estate lending, commercial lending
(consisting of commercial real estate and commercial business lending) and
consumer lending (primarily consisting of loans secured by second liens on
residential real property, loans secured by automobiles and boats and unsecured
signature loans). See "Regulation and Supervision" for a description of
restrictions on BankAtlantic's lending activities.
Commercial lending is currently BankAtlantic's main lending focus.
Substantially all of BankAtlantic's commercial loans relate to assets of
borrowers located in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida.
BankAtlantic has, however, made commercial real estate loans elsewhere in
Florida and anticipates increasing this expansion. BankAtlantic's residential
real estate lending consists primarily of home mortgage loans secured by
residential real estate located in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties,
Florida. BankAtlantic also purchases residential loans in the secondary market
and from mortgage brokers. Direct consumer loans are solicited primarily through
mass and direct marketing and through the distribution and display of
advertising materials at branch offices. BankAtlantic also obtains automobile
loans indirectly through automobile dealerships located in South Florida.
BankAtlantic's loan underwriting procedures are designed to assess both the
borrower's ability to make principal and interest payments and the value of the
collateral securing the loan. Employment and financial information is solicited
from prospective borrowers, credit records are reviewed and the value of any
collateral for the loan is analyzed. Loan information supplied by a prospective
borrower is independently verified. Loan officers or other loan production
personnel in a position to directly benefit monetarily through loan solicitation
fees from individual loan transactions do not have approval authority and
commercial real estate and business and residential loans of $500,000 or more
and consumer loans of $100,000 or more require the approval of
68
<PAGE> 69
BankAtlantic's Major Loan Committee. The Major Loan Committee consists of the
Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman, the President, the Senior Executive
Vice President, certain Executive Vice Presidents and certain other officers of
BankAtlantic.
Interest rates and origination fees charged on loans originated by
BankAtlantic are generally competitive with other financial institutions and
other mortgage originators in BankAtlantic's general market area. BankAtlantic
has an affirmative obligation, under the provisions of the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA"), to serve the credit needs of
the communities in which it operates, and management believes that BankAtlantic
fulfills its obligations under the CRA. See "Regulation and Supervision --
Community Reinvestment."
Commercial Real Estate Loans -- BankAtlantic's commercial real estate loans
include permanent mortgage loans on commercial and industrial properties,
construction loans secured by income producing properties (or for residential
development and land acquisition) and development loans. These loans are
originated on both a one year line of credit basis and on a fixed-term basis
generally ranging from one to five years. BankAtlantic generally lends not more
than 75% of the securing property's appraised value and requires borrowers to
maintain, at BankAtlantic, appropriate escrow accounts for the secured
property's real estate taxes and insurance. In making lending decisions,
BankAtlantic generally considers, among other things, the overall quality of the
loan, the credit of the borrower, the location of the real estate, the projected
income stream of the property and the reputation and quality of management
constructing or administering the property. No one factor is determinative and
such factors may be accorded different weights in any particular lending
decision. As a general rule, BankAtlantic also requires that these loans be
guaranteed by one or more of the individuals who have made a significant equity
investment in the property. Commercial real estate loans generally have shorter
terms, prime-based interest rates which adjust more rapidly to interest rate
fluctuations and bear higher rates of interest than alternative investments.
Accordingly, income from this type of loan should be more responsive to changes
in the general level of interest rates. However, permanent commercial real
estate and construction lending is generally considered to have higher credit
risk than single-family residential lending because of the concentration of
principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and is dependent on the
successful operation of the related real estate project and thus may be subject,
to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the
economy, generally. BankAtlantic's risk of loss on a construction loan is
dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property's
sell-out value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost of the
project. If the estimated cost of construction or development proves to be
inaccurate, BankAtlantic may be compelled to advance funds beyond the amount
originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of
value proves to be inaccurate, BankAtlantic may be confronted, at or prior to
the maturity of the loan, with a project value which is insufficient to assure
full repayment. As loan payments become due, the cash flow from the project may
not be adequate to service total debt and the borrower may seek to modify the
terms of the loan. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are
generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor and
collateral may be difficult to dispose of. BankAtlantic has sought to minimize
these risks by lending primarily to established entities and generally
restricting such loans to its primary market area.
Commercial Business Loans -- BankAtlantic's corporate lending activities
are generally directed towards small to medium size companies located in Dade,
Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. BankAtlantic's corporate lending
division makes both secured and unsecured loans, although the majority of such
lending is done on a secured basis. The average balance of new commercial
business loans is in excess of $1 million and such loans are generally secured
by the receivables, inventory, equipment, and/or general corporate assets of the
borrowers. These loans are originated on both a one year line of credit basis
and on a fixed-term basis ranging from one to five years. Commercial business
loans generally have annual maturities and prime-based interest rates. However,
commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of credit risk than
residential loans because they are more likely to be adversely affected by
unfavorable economic conditions. The development of ongoing customer
relationships with commercial borrowers is an important part of BankAtlantic's
efforts to attract more low-interest and non-interest bearing demand deposits
and to generate other fee-based, non-lending services.
69
<PAGE> 70
Residential Real Estate Loans -- BankAtlantic's branch banking network
originates residential loans but BankAtlantic also enlists the services of
outside brokers to originate residential loans. These outside brokers receive a
fee upon the successful underwriting and closing of the loan. BankAtlantic
originates fixed rate loans with amortization periods of up to 30 years;
however, substantially all of these loans are sold to correspondents.
BankAtlantic also originates adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") with
amortization periods of up to 30 years which are either retained for portfolio
or sold to correspondents based on specific criteria. During 1995 and 1996
BankAtlantic purchased residential loans from unrelated third parties and will
continue to purchase residential loans in the future. Applicable regulations
require that all loans in excess of 90% of appraised value be insured by private
mortgage insurance. BankAtlantic's policy is to require private mortgage
insurance on all residential loans with a loan to value ratio greater than 80%.
In connection with residential loans insured by the Federal Housing
Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA"),
BankAtlantic may lend up to the maximum percentage of the appraised value
acceptable to the insuring or guaranteeing agency. Appraised values are
determined by on-site inspections conducted by qualified independent appraisers.
BankAtlantic generally follows regulatory and agency guidelines when it
originates such loans for sale.
Federal regulations permit savings institutions to originate and purchase
mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences on which the payment
amount, the loan terms, the principal balance or a combination thereof change
periodically as a result of changes in interest rates. Pursuant to such
regulations, changes in the interest rate must be based on the movement of an
index that is beyond the control of the institution and must be agreed to by the
institution and the borrower. Under such regulations, ARMs must specify the
maximum interest rate which may be imposed during the term of the loan.
One-to-four family residential loans generally are of a longer duration and bear
lower rates of interest than commercial or consumer loans; however, there is
generally a lower credit risk associated with these types of loans.
During the second quarter of 1996 BankAtlantic began purchasing, for
portfolio, seasoned fixed and adjustable rate residential first mortgage loans
from various mortgage bankers and financial institutions located in various
states. BankAtlantic intends to concentrate its efforts on such loan purchases
in the secondary market. Loans purchased in the secondary market generally have
lower yields than can be obtained by originating loans, but management believes
purchasing loans to be cost effective. The Company has a wholesale lending
policy setting forth; among other things, procedures for reviewing of
underwriting and appraisals applicable to loans to be acquired and various
restrictions, including loan size and geographical concentrations.
In connection with its purchase of loans and MBSs, BankAtlantic makes
commitments to mortgage bankers; investment bankers, and other lenders to
purchase loans or MBSs on specific terms. BankAtlantic generally agrees to
purchase loans at a yield fixed on the date of the commitment with delivery of
the loans to be taken within 30 to 60 days thereafter.
Consumer Loans -- BankAtlantic significantly reduced its consumer lending
activities during early 1991 by eliminating indirect consumer loans (consumer
loans made by others and acquired by BankAtlantic) and significantly decreasing
originations of direct consumer loans (loans made directly to consumers rather
than through dealers). However, commencing in 1993, BankAtlantic has focused on
originating consumer loans bearing both fixed and prime-based interest rates
primarily ranging in terms up to 5 years, excluding second mortgage loans,
directly through its branch network. During 1995, BankAtlantic established a
relationship with the Automotive Dealers Marketing Inc. ("ADMI") to originate
direct automobile loans through a major automobile service club's Florida
network. These loans are underwritten by BankAtlantic and a fee is remitted to
ADMI upon the successful underwriting and closing of the loan. The volume of
direct consumer lending increased in 1996 and 1995 from 1994 levels primarily in
second mortgage loans. Through its acquisition of MegaBank in February 1995,
BankAtlantic reentered the indirect automobile lending market. MegaBank
historically obtained fixed-rate automobile loans indirectly through various
automobile dealerships located in Dade County, Florida and BankAtlantic has
continued this practice. A determination was made during the first quarter of
1996 to temporarily decrease production of indirect automobile loans pending the
integration of newly hired automobile lending personnel. Federal savings
institutions are authorized to make secured and unsecured consumer installment
loans in an aggregate amount of up to 35% of their assets. In addition, savings
70
<PAGE> 71
institutions have lending authority above this 35% limit for certain consumer
loans, such as second mortgages, home improvement loans, mobile home loans and
loans secured by savings accounts. Consumer loans typically involve a higher
degree of credit risk than one-to-four family residential loans secured by first
mortgages, but they generally carry higher yields and have shorter terms to
maturity. BankAtlantic's main focus in recent years has been the origination of
direct second mortgage loans primarily representing home equity loans which are
secured by a junior lien on residential real property and are typically based on
a maximum 80% loan-to-value ratio; however, loan-to-value ratios up to 100%
exist with a maximum cap of $20,000 subject to certain limitations. Second
mortgage loans generally are originated on both a line of credit basis and on a
fixed term basis ranging from 5 to 15 years. Personal loans may be secured by
various forms of collateral, both real and personal, or to a minimal extent, may
be made on an unsecured basis. Such loans generally bear interest at floating
rates with the exception of personal unsecured loans which bear interest at a
fixed rate.
The indirect origination of consumer loan products generally requires
funding of dealer reserves to dealers who originated such loans. The risk of
amounts previously advanced to the dealer is primarily dependent upon loan
performance but, secondarily, is dependent upon the financial condition of the
dealer. The dealer is generally responsible to BankAtlantic for the amount of
the reserve only if a loan giving rise to the reserve becomes delinquent or is
prepaid. However, the dealer's ability to refund any portion of the unearned
reserve to BankAtlantic is subject to economic conditions, generally, and the
financial condition of the dealer. A decline in economic conditions could
adversely affect both the performance of the loans and the financial condition
of the dealer. There is no assurance that BankAtlantic can successfully recover
amounts advanced in the event it pursues the dealer for amounts due. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition" regarding BankAtlantic's experience relating to the Subject Portfolio
and recovery from its fidelity bond carrier of certain amounts.
Loan Commitments -- BankAtlantic issues commitments to make residential and
commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans on specified terms
which are conditioned upon the occurrence of stated events. Loan commitments are
generally issued in connection with (i) the origination of loans for the
financing of residential properties by prospective purchasers, (ii) construction
or permanent loans secured by commercial and multi-unit residential
income-producing properties, (iii) loans to corporate borrowers in connection
with loans secured by corporate assets and (iv) the origination of loans for the
refinancing of residential properties by existing owners.
The commitment procedure followed by BankAtlantic depends on the type of
loan underlying the commitment. Residential loan commitments are generally
limited to 30 days and are issued after the loan is approved. However, loan
commitments may be extended based on the circumstances. BankAtlantic offers
interest rate "locks" for periods of up to 150 days. BankAtlantic also issues
short-term commitments on commercial real estate loans and commercial business
loans. Short-term commitments generally remain open for no more than 90 days.
BankAtlantic usually charges a commitment fee of 1% to 2% on short-term
commitments relating to commercial real estate loans and commercial business
loans. In most cases, half of the fee is payable upon the acceptance of the
commitment and is non-refundable. If the loan is ultimately made, the remainder
of the commitment fee is collected at closing.
Loan Servicing Rights -- BankAtlantic generally retains servicing rights on
fixed rate loans which are generally originated for sale. On an on-going basis
BankAtlantic purchases servicing rights from third parties. The fees derived
from servicing mortgage loans include mortgage servicing fees as well as return
check and late charge fees. BankAtlantic has in the past sold bulk purchased
mortgage servicing rights based on market conditions, capital constraints and
capacity. BankAtlantic plans such sales in the future. The amount of revenue
earned from loan servicing is dependent on the prepayments of the underlying
loans. Generally, as interest rates fall, loan prepayments accelerate, resulting
in lower net revenues earned on loan servicing rights as well as write-offs of
purchased mortgage servicing rights. A decline in the value of purchased
mortgage servicing rights may also reduce regulatory capital. (See "Regulation
and Supervision -- Savings Institutions Regulation"). Conversely, as interest
rates rise, loan prepayments decline, resulting in higher net revenues earned on
loan servicing rights.
71
<PAGE> 72
The lower of cost or market value for mortgage loans originated for resale
is determined on an aggregate basis. In May 1995 the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 122 ("FAS 122") which eliminated the
accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans for others that
are acquired through loan origination activities and those acquired through
purchase transactions. FAS 122 requires an entity to recognize as separate
assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those servicing
rights are acquired. FAS 122 requires the periodic evaluation of capitalized
mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on fair value. On January 1,
1996, this statement was implemented prospectively. The initial valuation of
mortgage servicing rights ("MSR's") is on an individual loan basis. MSR's
acquired either through purchase or origination are amortized to expense using
the level yield method over the estimated life of the loan and continually
adjusted for prepayments. For the purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment
of MSR's, management stratifies those rights based on the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans. Those characteristics include loan
type, note rate and term. Upon implementation of FAS 122, no additional
valuation allowance was required. Adjustments to the valuation allowance are
reflected in operations.
Usury Limitations -- The maximum rate of interest that BankAtlantic may
charge for any particular loan transaction varies depending upon the purpose of
the loan, the nature of the borrower, the security and other various factors set
forth in Florida and federal interest rate laws. Under Florida law, BankAtlantic
is not subject to any usury ceiling on loans secured by a first lien on
residential real estate and certain other secured loans. Other types of loans
are subject to Florida's statutory usury ceiling which is currently 18% per
annum, although certain types of loans in excess of $500,000 may legally carry
an interest rate of up to 25% per annum.
Non-Performing and Classified Assets, Loan Delinquencies and
Defaults -- When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan,
BankAtlantic attempts to have the deficiency cured by communicating with the
borrower. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. If the delinquency is
not cured within 90 days, it is BankAtlantic's general policy to institute
appropriate legal action to collect the loan, including foreclosing on any
collateral securing the loan and obtaining a deficiency judgment against the
borrower, if appropriate.
Current regulations provide for the classification of loans and other
assets considered by examiners to be of lesser quality as "special mention,"
"substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" assets. The special mention category applies
to assets not warranting classification as substandard but possessing credit
deficiencies or potential weaknesses necessitating management's close attention.
Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by
the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if
the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of
substandard assets with the additional characteristic that such weaknesses make
collection of the loan or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing
facts, conditions and values, highly questionable or improbable.
For components of the portfolio that are not classified, including special
mention, estimated losses for the upcoming twelve months are provided for. For
loans classified as substandard or doubtful, whether analyzed and provided for
individually or as part of pools, all estimated credit losses over the lives of
these loans are provided for. Prompt charge-off is required for loans or
portions of loans that available information confirms to be uncollectible.
Assets classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and of such little
value that their continued treatment as assets is not warranted.
The asset classification regulations require insured institutions to
classify their own assets and to establish prudent general allowances for loan
losses. However, regulators have considerable discretion to review asset
classifications and loss allowances of insured institutions, and, if a regulator
concludes that the valuation allowances established by an institution are
inadequate, the regulator may determine, subject to certain reviews, the need
for, and extent of, any increase necessary in the institution's general
allowance for loan losses.
Management of BankAtlantic has identified certain loans as non-performing
or restructured assets. These assets include: (i) loans accounted for on a
non-accrual basis; (ii) loans not included in category (i), which are
contractually 90 days or more past due as to interest or principal payments;
(iii) assets acquired in
72
<PAGE> 73
settlement of loans; (iv) restructured loans, and (v) non-accrual tax
certificates. Non-accrual loans are loans on which interest recognition has been
suspended until realized because of doubts as to the borrower's ability to repay
principal or interest. Restructured loans are loans on which the terms have been
altered to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a
deterioration in the borrower's financial position. Such restructured loans may
be removed from the restructured category based upon various factors, including
a period of satisfactory loan performance under the revised terms.
Allowance for Loan Losses -- BankAtlantic prospectively adopted SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No.
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and
Disclosures" ("FAS 114"), effective January 1, 1995. There was no impact to the
consolidated statement of financial condition or the consolidated statement of
operations upon implementation. FAS 114 does not apply to large groups of
smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment. Loans collectively reviewed by BankAtlantic for impairment include
all residential and consumer loans and performing commercial real estate and
business loans under $500,000, excluding loans which are individually reviewed
based on specific criteria, such as delinquency and condition of collateral
property. BankAtlantic's impaired loans within the scope of FAS 114 include
nonaccrual commercial loans, restructured loans, and performing commercial loans
less than 90 days delinquent, where management does not expect the loans to be
repaid in accordance with their contractual terms but which are expected to be
collected in full. Generally, BankAtlantic recognizes interest income on
impaired loans on a cash basis.
BankAtlantic, beginning on January 1, 1995, bases the measurement of loan
impairment on the fair value of the loan's collateral in accordance with FAS
114. Non-collateral dependent loan impairment is based on the present value of
the estimated future cash flows. Impairment losses are included in the allowance
for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Adjustments
to impairment losses resulting from changes in the fair value of an impaired
loan's collateral or projected cash flows are included in the provision for loan
losses. Upon disposition of an impaired loan, any related valuation allowance is
relieved from the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained by additions charged to
operations as a provision for loan losses and by loan recoveries, while
charge-offs reduce the allowance. BankAtlantic's process for evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses has three basic elements: first, the
identification of impaired loans; second, the establishment of appropriate loan
loss allowances once individual specific impaired loans are identified; and
third, a methodology for estimating loan losses based on the inherent risk in
the remainder of the loan portfolio.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
General -- BankAtlantic maintains an investment portfolio consisting
primarily of mortgage-backed securities, tax certificates, Federal agency
obligations, Treasury Notes, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities.
Additionally, BankAtlantic has, in the past, purchased banker's acceptances.
Federal regulations limit the types and quality of instruments in which
BankAtlantic may invest.
Mortgage-backed securities are pools of residential loans which are made to
consumers and then generally sold to governmental agencies, such as the
Government National Mortgage Corporation ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").
Mortgage-backed securities have either 15-30 year maturities, 5-7 year balloon
maturities or are ARMs. BankAtlantic generally invests in ARMs or 5-7 year
balloon maturity mortgage-backed securities. Banker's acceptances are
unconditional obligations of the issuing bank and are collateralized by various
means, including the inventory and receivables of borrowers of the issuing bank.
Asset-backed securities consist of pooled automobile receivables and are limited
to only those that are investment grade. Corporate bonds consist of investment
grade obligations of corporate borrowers with an average duration not to exceed
three years.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
73
<PAGE> 74
("FAS 115"). FAS 115 was implemented, prospectively, by BankAtlantic on January
1, 1994. Under FAS 115, investments in debt securities which BankAtlantic has a
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "securities
held to maturity" and are carried at cost, adjusted for discounts and premiums
which are accreted or amortized to estimated maturity under the interest method.
In accordance with FAS 115, a security cannot be classified as held to maturity
if it might be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, related
changes in the security's prepayment risk, liquidity needs, changes in the
availability of and the yield on alternative investments, and changes in funding
sources and terms. Prior to the adoption of FAS 115, securities that were held
for sale were stated at the lower of amortized cost or market. Upon adoption of
FAS 115, all securities that were previously classified as held for sale were
designated as "available for sale".
Debt and equity securities and options related thereto, purchased or sold
for the purpose of a short-term profit are classified as "trading account
securities" and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses in
trading account securities are reflected in operations.
Debt and equity securities not classified as held to maturity or trading
account securities are classified as "available for sale". Debt and equity
securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with the related
unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of deferred income taxes, reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
On November 15, 1995, the FASB issued Special Report No. 155-B, A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities (the "Special Report"). Pursuant to the Special Report,
BankAtlantic was permitted to conduct a one-time reassessment of the
classifications of all securities held at that time. Any reclassifications from
the held-to-maturity category made in conjunction with that reassessment would
not call into question an enterprise's intent to hold other debt securities to
maturity in the future. Based upon the guidance provided in the Special Report,
BankAtlantic reassessed its security classifications considering, among other
issues, flexibility in management of the portfolio for liquidity and interest
rate risk management as well as the potential SAIF special assessment. As a
result of this reassessment, BankAtlantic, on December 15, 1995 reclassified all
mortgage-backed securities, and investment securities, excluding tax
certificates, which were previously categorized as "held to maturity" to the
"available for sale" category.
Tax Certificates -- BankAtlantic's portfolio also includes tax certificates
issued by various counties in the State of Florida. Tax certificates are
evidences of tax obligations that are auctioned by county taxing authorities on
an annual basis when the property owner fails to pay the real estate taxes on
the property when due. Tax certificates represent a priority lien against the
real property for which the assessed real estate taxes are delinquent. Interest
accrues on the tax certificates at the rate established at the auction. The
minimum repayment on tax certificates in order to satisfy the lien is the
certificate amount plus the greater of five percent of the certificate amount or
the interest accrued through the redemption date. Although tax certificates have
no payment schedule or stated maturity, the certificate holder has the right to
collect the delinquent tax amount, plus interest and can file for a deed to the
underlying property if the delinquent tax amount is unpaid at the end of two
years. If the certificate holder does not file for the deed within seven years,
the certificate becomes null and void. BankAtlantic's experience with this type
of investment has been favorable as rates earned are generally higher than many
alternative investments, substantial repayment generally occurs over a two year
period and losses to date have been minimal. The primary risks BankAtlantic has
experienced with tax certificates have related to the risk that additional funds
may be required to purchase other certificates relating to the property, the
risk that the liened property may be unusable and the risk that potential
environmental concerns may make taking title to the property untenable.
The OTS has reviewed the amount invested in, and procedures utilized in the
acquisition and administration of tax certificates by savings institutions. The
purpose of such review is believed to have been the establishment of specific
regulatory guidelines and procedures so as to insure the safety and soundness of
the investment by savings institutions. BankAtlantic participated with the OTS
in this review. After such review, the Southeast Regional Office of the OTS
recommended that the maximum amount of tax certificates purchased be based on a
formula whereby the rolling twelve month average of aggregate investments in tax
74
<PAGE> 75
certificates, including interest thereon, not exceed 100% of risk-based capital.
Based on market conditions, BankAtlantic purchased approximately $44 million,
$47 million and $64 million in tax certificates at auctions in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively, less than that permissible under the OTS recommendation. At
March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic had an outstanding balance of approximately $40
million in tax certificates. BankAtlantic is also aware that on November 17,
1992, the FDIC issued an Interpretive Letter stating its view that it
constitutes an unsafe or unsound banking practice for a non-member commercial
bank to invest in tax certificates. While BankAtlantic is not aware of any
similar statement published by the FDIC concerning investments in tax
certificates by savings banks, the Atlanta Regional Office of the FDIC has
advised BankAtlantic that the FDIC believes that tax certificates "inherently
have an objectionable level of risk for financial institution investment."
However, if in the future the FDIC or the OTS makes a determination that
investments in tax certificates are improper, either regulator could seek to
impose restrictions or sanctions, prohibit or limit investments in tax
certificates or require additional regulatory reserves with respect to these
investments. In April 1996, an interpretive letter was released by the OCC which
rescinds all previous prohibitions related to the purchase of tax certificates
by national banks, provided they follow the appropriate guidelines and policies.
For descriptions of BankAtlantic's investments in tax certificates and other
investment securities, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management of BankAtlantic establishes allowances for tax certificate
losses in amounts which it believes is sufficient to provide for potential
future losses. In establishing its allowances for tax certificates, management
considers past loss experience, present indicators such as the length of time
the certificate has been outstanding, economic conditions and collateral values.
Tax certificates and resulting deed applications are classified as nonaccrual
when a tax certificate is outstanding 48 months and a deed has aged 48 months
from BankAtlantic's acquisition date. At that time, interest ceases to be
accrued and previously accrued interest is reversed. Prior to 1994 the practice
was to establish an allowance for any interest accrued after a specified term
after acquisition of the certificate. The new methodology charges off
certificates at the same point in time, but discontinues the practice of
accruing interest and establishing an allowance for amounts accrued after the
specified term.
DEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWINGS
General -- Historically, deposits have been the principal source of
BankAtlantic's funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes.
Loan repayments, sales of securities, capital contributions from the Company,
advances from the FHLB of Atlanta and other borrowings, including the issuance
of subordinated debentures, and the use of repurchase agreements have been
additional sources of funds. Loan amortization payments and deposit inflows and
outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates. Borrowings may
be used by BankAtlantic on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in
normal sources of funds such as savings inflows, and to provide additional
liquidity investments. On a long-term basis, borrowings may support expanded
lending activities. Historically, BankAtlantic has borrowed primarily from the
FHLB of Atlanta and through the use of repurchase agreements.
Deposit Activities -- BankAtlantic offers several types of deposit programs
designed to attract both short-term and long-term funds from the general public
by providing an assortment of accounts and rates. BankAtlantic believes that its
product line is comparable to that offered by its competitors. BankAtlantic
offers the following accounts: commercial and retail demand deposit accounts;
regular passbook and statement savings accounts; money market accounts;
fixed-rate, fixed-maturity certificates of deposit, ranging in maturity from 30
days to 8 years; variable-maturity jumbo certificates of deposit; and various
NOW accounts. BankAtlantic also offers IRA and Keogh retirement accounts.
BankAtlantic's deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC through the SAIF and the
BIF up to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured depositor.
BankAtlantic solicits deposits through advertisements in newspapers and
magazines of general circulation and on radio and television in Dade, Broward
and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. Most of its depositors are residents of these
three counties at least part of the year. BankAtlantic does not hold any
deposits obtained through brokers. In February 1995, in connection with the
acquisition of MegaBank, BankAtlantic acquired approximately $20 million of
deposits from non-resident aliens solicited through business development
officers.
75
<PAGE> 76
Borrowings -- BankAtlantic has utilized wholesale repurchase agreements as
a means of obtaining funds and increasing yields on its investment portfolio. In
a wholesale repurchase transaction, BankAtlantic sells a portion of its current
investment portfolio (usually government and mortgage-backed securities) at a
negotiated rate and agrees to repurchase the same assets on a specified date.
Proceeds from such transactions are treated as secured borrowings pursuant to
applicable regulations. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
BankAtlantic is a member of the FHLB and is authorized to apply for secured
advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. See "Regulation and Supervision."
BankAtlantic uses advances from the FHLB to repay other borrowings, meet deposit
withdrawals and expand its lending and short-term investment activities. See
Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Federal Funds Borrowings -- BankAtlantic has established three $5.0 million
unsecured facilities from three federally insured banking institutions to
purchase Federal Funds. The facilities are used on an overnight borrowing basis
to assist in managing BankAtlantic's cash flow requirements. These Federal Fund
lines are subject to periodic review and may be terminated at any time by the
issuer institution.
COMPETITION
As reported by an independent statistical reporting service, BankAtlantic
ranked third in size among all savings institutions headquartered in the State
of Florida and first in size among all independent financial institutions
headquartered in Broward County, Florida, based on consolidated assets at
December 31, 1995, the most recent date utilized by such reporting service.
BankAtlantic's operating goal is to provide a broad range of financial services
with a strong emphasis on customer service to individuals and businesses in
South Florida.
BankAtlantic has substantial competition in attracting and retaining
deposits and in lending funds. The primary factors in competing for deposits are
the range and quality of financial services offered, the ability to offer
attractive rates and the availability of convenient office locations. There is
direct competition for deposits from credit unions and commercial banks and
other savings institutions. Additional significant competition for savings
deposits comes from other investment alternatives, such as money market mutual
funds and corporate and government securities. The primary factors in competing
for loans are the range and quality of lending services offered, interest rates
and loan origination fees. Competition for the origination of real estate loans
normally comes from other savings and financial institutions, commercial banks,
mortgage bankers and insurance companies.
Past legislative and regulatory action has increased competition between
savings institutions and other financial institutions, such as commercial banks,
by expanding the range of financial services that may be offered by savings
institutions (e.g., interest bearing checking accounts, trust services and
installment and commercial lending authority), while reducing or eliminating the
difference between thrift institutions and commercial banks with respect to
long-term lending authority, taxation and maximum rates of interest that may be
paid on savings deposits. Current and future regulatory requirements may
adversely affect BankAtlantic's competitive position by restricting its
operations. Legislative developments related to interstate branching and banking
are expected to continue the consolidation of smaller thrifts and banks, and
also provide easier access to larger financial institutions in the marketplace.
Accordingly, BankAtlantic expects increased competition in the immediate future.
See further discussion under "Regulation and Supervision -- Legislative
Developments -- Interstate Banking".
EMPLOYEES
The Company does not have any employees who are not also employees of
BankAtlantic. At March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic employed 762 full-time and 44
part-time employees. Management believes that its relations with its employees
are satisfactory. BankAtlantic currently maintains a comprehensive employee
benefits program providing, among other benefits, a qualified pension plan,
managed health care programs and life insurance. These employee benefits are
considered by management to be generally competitive with
76
<PAGE> 77
employee benefits provided by other major employers in Florida. BankAtlantic's
employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group.
PROPERTIES
The Company's and BankAtlantic's principal and executive offices are
located at 1750 East Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33304. In
addition to its principal office, BankAtlantic currently conducts business at 45
branch offices primarily located in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties,
Florida. BankAtlantic owns the land and building on which its executive offices
are located and also owns 22 of its branch office locations. BankAtlantic leases
either the land, the building or both in connection with the operation of its 20
other branch offices. BankAtlantic has seven leased branch office sites in
Broward County, with lease expiration dates ranging from 1996 to 2001; nine
leased branch office sites in Dade County, with lease expiration dates ranging
from 1996 to 2005; one leased branch office in Palm Beach County, with a lease
expiring in 1999; and six leased branch offices located in Wal-Mart stores in
Lee, Sarasota and Charlotte Counties, with leases expiring in 1999 and 2000.
BankAtlantic also maintains two ground leases in Broward County expiring in
1996, 1999 and 2072 and one ground lease in Palm Beach County expiring in 2000.
At March 31, 1996, the aggregate net book value of premises and equipment,
including leasehold improvements and equipment, was $42.6 million.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
GENERAL
The Company, by virtue of its ownership of all of the outstanding stock of
BankAtlantic, is a unitary savings bank holding company subject to regulatory
oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to register with and be
subject to OTS examination, supervision and certain reporting requirements.
Further, as a company having a class of publicly held equity securities, the
Company is subject to the reporting and the other requirements of the Exchange
Act. In addition, based on its ownership at March 31, 1996 of 46% of the
Company's Class B Common Stock, BFC is subject to the same oversight by the OTS
as discussed herein with respect to the Company.
BankAtlantic is a member of the FHLB system and its deposit accounts are
insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. BankAtlantic is subject to
supervision, examination and regulation by the OTS and to a lesser extent by the
FDIC as the insurer of its deposits. BankAtlantic must file reports with the OTS
and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to
obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions.
There are periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC to examine
BankAtlantic's compliance with various regulatory requirements. The regulatory
structure also gives regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection
with their supervisory and enforcement policies with respect to the
classification of non-performing and other assets and the establishment of
adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes.
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATIONS
The Home Owner's Loan Act ("HOLA") prohibits a savings bank holding company
from directly or indirectly acquiring control, including through an acquisition
by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, of any savings association (as
defined in Section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act) or any other savings
and loan or savings bank holding company, without prior OTS approval. In
considering whether to grant approval for any such transaction, the OTS will
take into consideration a number of factors, including the competitive effects
of the transaction, the financial and managerial resources and future prospects
of the holding company and its bank or thrift subsidiaries following the
transaction, and the compliance records of such subsidiaries with the CRA.
Generally, a savings bank holding company may not acquire more than 5% of the
voting shares of any savings association unless by merger, consolidation or
purchase of assets, in each case subject to prior OTS approval. A savings bank
holding company may not acquire as a separate subsidiary an insured institution
which has its principal offices outside of the state where the principal offices
of its subsidiary institution is located, except in the case of certain
emergency acquisitions approved by the FDIC, or
77
<PAGE> 78
when the laws of the state in which the insured institution to be acquired is
located specifically authorize such an acquisition. However, a savings bank
holding company may acquire up to 5% of the voting shares of any savings
association or savings bank holding company not a subsidiary thereof without
prior regulatory approval. Another provision of HOLA permits a savings bank
holding company to acquire up to 15% of the voting shares of certain
undercapitalized savings associations.
Federal law empowers the Director of the OTS to take substantive action
when it determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the
continuation by a savings bank holding company of any particular activity
constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of a
savings bank holding company's subsidiary savings institution. The Director of
the OTS has oversight authority for all holding company affiliates, not just the
insured institution. Specifically, the Director of the OTS may, as necessary,
(i) limit the payment of dividends by the savings institution; (ii) limit
transactions between the savings institution, the holding company and the
subsidiaries or affiliates of either; or (iii) limit any activities of the
savings institution that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the
holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings institution.
Any such limits would be issued in the form of a directive having the legal
effect of a cease and desist order.
Activities Limitations -- The Company will remain a unitary savings bank
holding company under applicable law until it acquires as a separate subsidiary
another savings institution. A savings bank holding company whose sole
subsidiary qualifies as a qualified thrift lender ("QTL"), described below,
generally has the broadest authority to engage in various types of business
activities with little to no restrictions on its activities, except that
historically savings bank holding companies have not been permitted to acquire
or be acquired by an entity engaged in securities underwriting or market making.
A holding company that acquires another institution and maintains it as a
separate subsidiary or whose sole subsidiary fails to meet the QTL test will
become subject to the activities limitations applicable to multiple savings bank
holding companies. In general, a multiple savings bank holding company (or
subsidiary thereof that is not an insured institution) may not commence, or
continue for more than a limited period of time after becoming a multiple
savings bank holding company (or a subsidiary thereof), any business activity
other than (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary
insured institution; (ii) conducting an insurance agency or an escrow business;
(iii) holding, managing or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a
subsidiary insured institution; (iv) holding or managing properties used or
occupied by a subsidiary insured institution; (v) acting as trustee under deeds
of trust; (vi) those activities previously directly authorized by the OTS by
regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple savings bank holding
companies; or (vii) subject to prior approval of the OTS, those activities
authorized by the FRB as permissible investments for bank holding companies.
These restrictions do not apply to a multiple savings bank holding company if
(a) all, or all but one, of its insured institution subsidiaries were acquired
in emergency thrift acquisitions or assisted acquisitions and (b) all of its
insured institution subsidiaries are QTLs.
Restrictions on Transactions with BankAtlantic -- BankAtlantic is subject
to restrictions in its dealings with the Company and any other companies that
are "affiliates" of the Company under HOLA and certain provisions of the Federal
Reserve Act ("FRA") that are made applicable to savings institutions by FIRREA
and OTS regulations.
As a result of FIRREA, a savings institution's transactions with its
affiliates are subject to limitations set forth in the HOLA and OTS regulations,
which incorporate Sections 23A, 23B, 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA and Regulation O
adopted by the FRB. Under Section 23A, an "affiliate" of an institution is
defined generally as (i) any company that controls the institution and any other
company that is controlled by the company that controls the institution, (ii)
any company that is controlled by the shareholders who control the institution
or any company that controls the institution or (iii) any company that is
determined by regulation or order to have a relationship with the institution
(or any subsidiary or affiliate of the institution) such that "covered
transactions" with the company may be affected by the relationship to the
detriment of the institution. "Control" is determined to exist if a percentage
stock ownership test is met or if there is control over the election of
directors or the management or policies of the company or institution. "Covered
transactions" generally include loans or extensions of credit to an affiliate,
purchases of securities issued by an affiliate, purchases of assets from an
affiliate (except as may be exempted by order or regulation), and certain other
78
<PAGE> 79
transactions. See "Regulation and Supervision -- Savings Institution
Regulations -- Transactions with Affiliates" below for a general discussion of
the restrictions on dealing with affiliates.
LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
Over the years measures have been taken to reform the thrift and banking
industries and to strengthen the insurance funds for depository institutions. In
1991, a comprehensive deposit insurance and banking reform plan, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), became law.
Although FDICIA's primary purpose was to recapitalize the insurance fund, FDICIA
also affects the supervision and regulation of all federally insured depository
institutions, including federal savings banks such as BankAtlantic and financial
institution holding companies such as the Company.
FDICIA requires each federal banking agency to establish standards relating
to internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems that are
designed to assess the financial condition and management of the institution,
loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
and compensation, fees and benefits. FDICIA lowered the QTL investment
percentage applicable to institutions insured by SAIF. See "Savings Institution
Regulations -- Qualified Thrift Lender." FDICIA further requires annual on-site
full examinations of depository institutions, with certain exceptions, and
annual reports on institutions' financial and management controls.
The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994
(the "Riegle Act") -- The Riegle Act, passed in September 1994, consolidated
several proposals into a single bill for funding for community development,
reduction of regulatory paperwork burdens of banks, small business
securitization, consumer protection, currency transaction reporting reforms and
reforms to the National Flood Insurance programs.
Interstate Banking -- The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 ("RNA") authorizes interstate acquisition of banks and
bank holding companies without geographic limitation beginning one year after
enactment. In addition, beginning June 1, 1997, a bank may merge with a bank in
another state as long as neither of the states has opted out of interstate
branching between the date of enactment of the RNA and May 31, 1997. The RNA
further provides that states may enact laws permitting interstate merger
transactions prior to June 1, 1997. A bank may establish and operate a de novo
branch in a state in which the bank does not maintain a branch if that state
expressly permits de novo branching. Once a bank has established branches in a
state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and
acquire additional branches at any location in the state where any bank involved
in the interstate merger transaction could have established or acquired branches
under applicable federal or state law. A bank that has established a branch in a
state through de novo branching may establish and acquire additional branches in
such state in the same manner and to the same extent as a bank having a branch
in such state as a result of an interstate merger. If a state opts out of
interstate branching within the specified time period, no bank in any other
state may establish a branch in the opting out state, whether through an
acquisition or de novo.
Expanded Non-Banking Activities -- Various bills have been introduced into
the United States Congress that would repeal in some respects the provisions of
the Glass-Steagall Act prohibiting certain banking organizations from engaging
in certain securities activities and the provisions of the Bank Holding Company
Act prohibiting affiliations between banking organizations and non-banking
organizations. This legislation is still under discussion.
SAVINGS INSTITUTION REGULATIONS
Regulatory Capital -- Both the OTS and the FDIC have promulgated
regulations establishing capital requirements applicable to savings
institutions. The effect and interrelationship of these regulations is discussed
below.
Savings institutions must meet the OTS' specific capital standards which by
law must be no less stringent than capital standards applicable to national
banks, with exceptions for risk-based capital requirements to reflect interest
rate risk or other risk. Capital calculated pursuant to the OTS' regulations
varies substantially
79
<PAGE> 80
from capital calculated pursuant to GAAP. At March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995, BankAtlantic met all applicable regulatory capital requirements. The
capital requirements are as follows:
(a) The leverage limit requires savings institutions to maintain core
capital of at least 3% of adjusted total assets. Adjusted total assets are
calculated as GAAP total assets, minus intangible assets (except those included
in core capital as described below). Core capital consists of common
shareholders' equity, including retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock and related surplus, less specified intangible assets (including
goodwill and MSRs. However, a portion of MSRs may be included in adjusted assets
and core capital. Generally, an amount may be included equal to the lower of (i)
90% of the fair market value of readily marketable MSRs (ii) the current
amortized book value as determined under GAAP or (iii) 50% of core capital. At
March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic had core capital of approximately $137.3 million
and a core capital ratio of 8.45%. This amount was $88.5 million above the 3%
requirement on that date. At March 31, 1996, MSRs amounted to approximately
$24.5 million.
(b) Under the tangible capital requirement, savings institutions must
maintain tangible capital in an amount not less than 1.5% of adjusted total
assets. Tangible capital is defined in the same manner as core capital, except
that all intangible assets, except MSRs, must be deducted. The percentage of
MSRs which may be included in tangible capital is equal to the lesser of (a)
100% of the amount of tangible capital that exists before the deduction of any
disallowed MSRs or (b) the amount of MSRs allowed to be included in core
capital. As of March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic had tangible capital of approximately
$137.3 million and a tangible capital ratio of 8.45%. This amount was $112.9
million above the 1.5% requirement on that date.
(c) The risk-based standards of the OTS currently require maintenance of
core capital equal to at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, and total capital
equal to at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital includes core
capital plus supplementary capital, but supplementary capital that may be
included in computing total capital for this purpose may not exceed core
capital. Supplementary capital includes cumulative perpetual preferred stock,
allowable subordinated debt and general loan loss allowances, within specified
limits. Such general loss allowances may not exceed 1.25% of risk-weighted
assets.
Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning to all assets designated
risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the credit risk assumed to be
associated with the particular asset. Generally, zero weight is assigned to
risk-free assets, such as cash and unconditionally guaranteed United States
government securities such as mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by
GNMA. A weight of 20% is assigned to, among other things, certain obligations of
United States government-sponsored agencies (such as the FNMA and the FHLMC),
stock of a FHLB and high quality mortgage-related securities. A weight of 50% is
assigned to qualifying mortgage loans and certain other residential
mortgage-related securities. A weight of 100% is assigned to consumer,
commercial and other loans, repossessed assets and assets that are 90 days or
more past due and all other assets not identified in the categories above. As of
March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic had total risk-based capital equal to approximately
$151.6 million and a risk-based capital ratio of 13.32%. This amount was $60.5
million above the 8% requirement on that date.
In addition to the capital requirements set forth in the OTS' regulations,
the OTS has delegated to its Regional Directors the authority to establish
higher individual minimum capital requirements for savings institutions based
upon a determination that the institution's capital is or may become inadequate
in view of its circumstances. For example, circumstances which may be considered
by the Regional Directors include situations where the institution is: (i)
receiving special supervisory attention; (ii) having or expected to have losses
resulting in capital inadequacy; (iii) having a high degree of exposure to
interest-rate, prepayment, credit or similar risks or a high proportion of
off-balance sheet risk; (iv) having poor liquidity or cash flow; (v) growing,
internally or through acquisitions, at such a rate that supervisory problems are
presented that are not dealt with adequately by other OTS regulations; (vi)
having potential adverse effects from the activities or condition of its
affiliates or others with which it has significant business relationships,
including concentrations of credit; (vii) having a portfolio reflecting weak
credit quality; (viii) having inadequate underwriting policies or procedures for
loans and investments; (ix) experiencing operational losses that exceeds the
average of other, similarly situated savings institutions; (x) having management
deficiencies; (xi) experiencing a poor record of supervisory compliance; or
(xii) having a high degree of exposure to interest rate risk, credit risk,
80
<PAGE> 81
concentration of credit risk, certain risks arising from non-traditional
activities or similar risks or a high proportion of off balance sheet risk.
The OTS amended its risk-based capital rules to incorporate interest-rate
risk ("IRR") requirements which require a savings association to hold additional
capital if it is projected to experience an excessive decline in net portfolio
value in the event interest rates increase or decrease by two percentage points.
The additional capital required is equal to one-half of the amount by which any
decline in net portfolio value exceeds 2 percent of the savings association's
total net portfolio value. BankAtlantic does not expect the interest-rate risk
requirements to have a material impact on its required capital levels at the
present time.
Additionally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"),
which is the primary regulator for national banks has adopted a rule increasing
the leverage ratio requirements for all but the most highly rated national
banks. Pursuant to FIRREA, the OTS is required to issue capital standards for
savings institutions that are no less stringent than those applicable to
national banks. Based on the OCC rule, savings institutions would be required to
maintain a leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of core capital to adjusted
total assets) of between 4% and 5%. If the OCC's rule and the interest rate risk
component discussed above were in effect for OTS regulated financial
institutions at March 31, 1996, Bank Atlantic believes it would be in full
compliance with the new rules and would have risk-based capital in excess of the
applicable risk-based capital requirement.
The OTS also issued a final rule, effective March 1, 1994, which excludes
core deposit intangibles ("CDIs") in the determination of regulatory capital.
BankAtlantic has not had CDIs since the effective date of the final rule and
accordingly, BankAtlantic is not currently affected by this exclusion from
capital; however, as a result of the MegaBank acquisition, BankAtlantic recorded
as intangible assets amounts representing the excess of the cost of the net
assets acquired over the fair value of such assets and the cost of the
non-competition agreement with a principal of MegaBank. Such amounts are
deducted in full from tangible, core and risk-based capital. At March 31, 1996
$11.1 million has been deducted in connection with the MegaBank acquisition
based upon the intangible exclusion. It is anticipated that the proposed
acquisition of BNAB will result in additional intangible assets which will also
be excluded in the determination of regulatory capital. For a further discussion
of the Company's acquisitions, see Note 20 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Insurance of Accounts -- BankAtlantic's deposits are insured by the SAIF
and BIF for up to $100,000 for each insured account holder, the maximum amount
currently permitted by law. Pursuant to the FDICIA, the FDIC adopted
transitional regulations implementing risk-based insurance premiums that became
effective on January 1, 1993. Under these regulations, institutions are divided
into groups based on criteria consistent with those established pursuant to the
prompt regulatory action provisions of the FDICIA (see "Savings Institution
Regulations -- Prompt Regulatory Action", below). Each of these groups is
further divided into three subgroups, based on a subjective evaluation of
supervisory risk to the insurance fund posed by the institution. Insurance
premiums range from 23 to 31 basis points, with well capitalized institutions in
the highest supervisory subgroup paying 23 basis points and undercapitalized
institutions in the lowest supervisory subgroup paying 31 basis points.
BankAtlantic also pays BIF premiums based on the deposits it acquired in
connection with the MegaBank acquisition. The deposits associated with the
proposed acquisition of BNAB are primarily SAIF insured deposits.
As an insurer, the FDIC issues regulations and conducts examinations of its
insured members. Insurance of deposits by the FDIC may be terminated by the
FDIC, after notice and hearing, upon a finding that an institution has engaged
in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe and unsound condition to
continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order
or condition imposed by the OTS or the FDIC. When conditions warrant, the FDIC
may impose less severe sanctions as an alternative to termination of insurance.
BankAtlantic's management does not know of any present condition pursuant to
which the FDIC would seek to impose sanctions on BankAtlantic or terminate
insurance of its deposits. See "Competition" for potential changes in insurance
assessments.
The OTS has proposed amendments to its capital distribution regulations to
conform regulations to the "prompt corrective action" provisions of FDICIA. As
proposed, adequately or well capitalized savings
81
<PAGE> 82
associations that (i) are not held by savings and loan holding companies; (ii)
have a composite rating of "1" or "2", (iii) are not deemed to be in "troubled
condition"; and (iv) will remain at least adequately capitalized after the
proposed capital distribution, will not be required to provide notice to the OTS
before making capital distributions. Because it is in a holding company
structure, the proposal, if adopted, will still require BankAtlantic to file a
notice with the OTS before making a capital distribution, regardless of its
capital condition.
A "well capitalized" institution must have risk-based capital of 10% or
more, core capital of 5% or more and Tier 1 risk-based capital (based on the
ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets) of 6% or more and may not be
subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective
action directive issued by the OTS to meet and maintain a specific capital level
for a specific capital measure. An institution will be categorized as:
"adequately capitalized" if it has total risk-based capital of 8% or more, Tier
1 risk-based capital of 4% or more and core capital of 4% or more;
"undercapitalized" if it has total risk-based capital of less than 8%, Tier 1
risk-based capital of less than 4% or core capital of less than 4%;
"significantly undercapitalized" if it has total risk-based capital of less than
6%, Tier 1 risk-based capital of less than 3% or core capital of less than 3%;
and "critically undercapitalized" if it has tangible capital of less than 2%.
Any savings institution that fails its regulatory capital requirement is subject
to enforcement action by the OTS or the FDIC. At March 31, 1996 BankAtlantic met
the capital requirements of a "well capitalized" institution as defined above.
Under FDICIA, an insured depository institution cannot make a capital
distribution (as broadly defined to include, among other things, dividends,
redemptions and other repurchases of stock), or pay management fees to any
person that controls the institution, if thereafter it would be
undercapitalized. The appropriate Federal banking agency, however, may (after
consultation with the FDIC) permit an insured depository institution to
repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire its shares if such action (i) is
taken in connection with the issuance of additional shares or obligations in at
least an equivalent amount and (ii) will reduce the institution's financial
obligations or otherwise improve its financial condition. An undercapitalized
institution is generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets. An
undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from making any
acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business
except in accordance with an accepted capital restoration plan or with the
approval of the FDIC. In addition, the appropriate Federal banking agency is
given authority with respect to any undercapitalized depository institution to
take any of the actions it is required to or may take with respect to a
significantly undercapitalized institution as described below if it determines
"that those actions are necessary to carry out the purpose" of FDICIA.
Restrictions on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions -- Current
regulations applicable to the payment of cash dividends by savings institutions
impose limits on capital distributions based on an institution's regulatory
capital levels and net income. An institution that meets or exceeds all of its
fully phased-in capital requirements (both before and after giving effect to the
distribution) and is not in need of more than normal supervision would be a
"Tier 1 association." Upon prior notice to, and non-objection by, the OTS, a
Tier 1 association may make capital distributions during a calendar year up to
the greater of (i) 100% of net income for the current calendar year plus 50% of
its capital surplus or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four
quarters. Any additional capital distributions would require prior regulatory
approval.
An institution that meets the minimum regulatory capital requirements but
does not meet the fully phased-in capital requirements would be a "Tier 2
association," which may make capital distributions of between 25% and 75% of its
net income over the most recent four-quarter period, depending on the
institution's risk-based capital level. A "Tier 3 association" is defined as an
institution that does not meet all of the minimum regulatory capital
requirements and therefore may not make any capital distributions without the
prior approval of the OTS.
Savings institutions must provide the OTS with at least 30 days written
notice before making any capital distributions. All capital distributions are
subject to the OTS' right to object to a distribution on safety and soundness
grounds.

The FHLB System -- BankAtlantic is a member of the FHLB system, which
consists of 12 regional FHLBs governed and regulated by the Federal Housing
Finance Board ("FHFB"). The FHLBs provide a central credit facility for member
institutions. BankAtlantic, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, is required to
acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount at
least equal to the greater of 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations as
of the close of each calendar year, or 5% of its borrowings from the FHLB of
Atlanta (including advances and letters of credit issued by the FHLB on
BankAtlantic's behalf). BankAtlantic is currently in compliance with this
requirement.
Each FHLB makes loans (advances) to members in accordance with policies and
procedures established by the board of directors of the FHLB. These policies and
procedures are subject to the regulation and oversight of the FHFB. The FHLB Act
establishes collateral requirements for advances from the FHLB. All advances
from the FHLB must be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by
the FHLB of Atlanta. The FHLB Act prescribes eligible collateral as first
mortgage loans less than 90 days delinquent or securities evidencing interests
therein, securities (including mortgage-backed securities) issued, insured or
guaranteed by the Federal government or any agency thereof, deposits with the
FHLB and, to a limited extent, real estate with readily ascertainable value in
which a perfected security interest may be obtained. All long-term advances are
required to provide funds for residential home financing. The FHLB of Atlanta
has established standards of community service that members must meet to
maintain access to long-term advances.
Fees and Assessments of the OTS -- The OTS has adopted regulations to
assess fees on savings institutions to fund the operations of the OTS. The
regulations provide for the OTS' assessments to be made based on the total
consolidated assets of a savings institution as shown on its most recent report
to the agency. Troubled savings institutions (generally, those operating in
conservatorship or with the lowest two (of five) supervisory subgroup ratings)
are to be assessed at a rate 50% higher than similarly sized thrifts that are
not experiencing problems.
Investment Activities -- As a federally-chartered savings bank,
BankAtlantic is subject to various restrictions and prohibitions with respect to
its investment activities. These restrictions and prohibitions are set forth in
HOLA and in the rules of the OTS and include dollar amount limitations and
procedural limitations. BankAtlantic is in compliance with these restrictions.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"), a savings institution is
required to provide 30 days prior notice to the FDIC and the OTS of its desire
to establish or acquire a new subsidiary or conduct any new activity through a
subsidiary. The institution is also required to conduct the activities of the
subsidiary in accordance with the OTS' orders and regulations. The Director of
the OTS has the power to force divestiture of any subsidiary or the termination
of any activity it determines is a serious threat to the safety, soundness or
stability of the savings institution or is otherwise inconsistent with sound
banking principles. Additionally, the FDIC is authorized to determine whether
any specific activity poses a threat to SAIF and to prohibit any member of SAIF
from engaging directly in the activity, even if it is an activity that is
permissible for a federally-chartered savings institution or for a subsidiary of
a state-chartered savings institution.
Safety and Soundness -- Operational and managerial standards for internal
controls, information systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest
rate exposure, asset growth and compensation and benefits for bank officers,
employees, directors and principal shareholders are all the subject of extensive
requirements. Additionally, the OTS is empowered to set standards for any other
facet of an institution's operations, not specifically covered by regulations.
The OTS is required to prescribe asset quality, earnings and stock valuation
standards specifying: (i) a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital; (ii)
minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses without impairing capital; (iii) to
the extent feasible, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly
traded shares of the institution; and (iv) such other standards relating to
asset quality, earnings and valuation as the OTS deems appropriate.
An institution failing to meet these standards may be required to file a
plan to bring the institution into compliance and have the plan approved by the
OTS. Continued non-compliance allows the OTS to prohibit growth, require higher
capital, restrict interest rates paid on deposits or take any other appropriate
action.
83
<PAGE> 84
The Riegle Act amends the FDIA to allow the federal agencies to implement
the standards as guidelines rather than regulations. By allowing the agencies to
implement the standards as guidelines, the agencies are given the flexibility to
decide whether to compel an institution that fails to meet a standard to submit
a compliance plan.
Loans to One Borrower -- Generally, a savings institution's total loans and
extensions of credit to one borrower or related group of borrowers, outstanding
at one time and not fully secured by readily marketable collateral, may not
exceed 15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus. Except as set
forth below for certain highly rated securities, an institution's investment in
commercial paper and corporate debt securities of any one issuer or related
entity must be aggregated "loans" for purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence.
Savings institutions may invest, in addition to the 15% general limitation,
up to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus in commercial paper of one issuer
rated by two nationally recognized rating services in the highest category, or
in corporate debt securities rated in one of the two highest categories by at
least one such service. A savings institution may also lend up to 10% of
unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is fully secured by readily
marketable collateral. Readily marketable collateral is defined to include
certain securities and bullion, but generally does not include real estate.
A savings institution which meets its capital requirements may make loans
to one borrower to develop domestic residential housing units, up to the lesser
of $30,000,000 or 30% of the savings institution's unimpaired capital and
surplus if certain other conditions are satisfied. These loans are an
alternative to the 15% limitation and not in addition to that limitation. At
March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic was in compliance with the loans to one borrower
limitations.
Qualified Thrift Lender -- BankAtlantic, like all savings institutions, is
required to meet the QTL test for, among other things, future eligibility for
advances from the FHLB. The QTL test requires that a savings institution's
qualified thrift investments equal or exceed 65% of the savings institution's
portfolio assets calculated on a monthly average basis in nine out of every
twelve months. For the purposes of the QTL test, portfolio assets are total
assets less intangibles, properties used to conduct business and liquid assets
(up to 20% of total assets). The following assets are included as qualified
thrift investments without limit: (i) domestic residential housing or
manufactured housing loans; (ii) home equity loans and mortgage-backed
securities secured by residential housing or manufactured housing loans; and
(iii) certain obligations of the FDIC and other related entities. Other
qualifying assets which may be included up to an aggregate of 20% of portfolio
assets are: (i) 50% of originated residential mortgage loans sold within 90 days
of origination; (ii) investments in debt or equity securities of service
corporations that derive at least 80% of their gross revenues from
housing-related activities; (iii) 200% of certain loans to and investments in
low-cost, one-to-four family housing; (iv) 200% of loans for residential real
property, churches, nursing homes, schools and small businesses in areas where
credit needs of low-to-moderate income families are not met; (v) other loans for
churches, schools, nursing homes and hospitals; and (vi) consumer and education
loans up to 10% of total portfolio assets.
Any savings institution that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to a
commercial bank charter or limit its future investments and activities to those
permitted for both savings institutions and national banks. Additionally, any
such savings institution that does not convert to a commercial bank charter will
be ineligible to receive future advances from the FHLB and, beginning three
years after the loss of QTL status, will be required to repay all outstanding
advances, from the FHLB except for special liquidity advances, and dispose of or
discontinue all preexisting investments and activities not permitted for both
savings institutions and national banks. If an institution converts to a
commercial bank charter, its deposits remain insured by SAIF until the FDIC
permits it to transfer to BIF. If any institution that fails the QTL test
advances and is controlled by a holding company, then, within one year after the
failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and will be
subject to all applicable restrictions on bank holding companies. At March 31,
1996, BankAtlantic was in compliance with current QTL requirements.
Transaction with Affiliates -- As a federally chartered savings
institution, BankAtlantic is subject to the OTS' regulations relating to
transactions with affiliates, including officers and directors. BankAtlantic is
84
<PAGE> 85
subject to substantially similar restrictions regarding affiliate transactions
as those imposed on member banks under Sections 22(g), 22(h), 23A, and 23B of
the FRA.
Sections 22(g) and 22(h) establish restrictions on loans to directors,
controlling shareholders and their related companies and certain officers.
Section 22(g) provides that no institution may extend credit to an executive
officer unless (i) the bank would be authorized to make such extension of credit
to borrowers other than its officers, (ii) the extension of credit is on terms
not more favorable than those afforded to other borrowers, (iii) the officer has
submitted a detailed current financial statement and (iv) the extension of
credit is on the condition that it shall become due and payable on demand at any
time that the officer is indebted to any other bank or banks on account of
extensions of credit in any one of the following three categories, respectively,
in an aggregate amount greater than the amount of credit of the same category
that could be extended to the officer by the institution: (a) an extension of
credit secured by a first lien on a dwelling which is expected to be owned by
the officer and used by the officer as his or her residence; (b) an extension of
credit to finance the education of the children of the officer; or (c) for any
other purpose prescribed by the OTS. Section 22(g) also imposes reporting
requirements on both the officers to whom it applies and on the institution.
Section 22(h) requires that loans to directors, controlling shareholders and
their related companies and certain officers be made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with other persons and that those loans do not
involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable
features.
Section 23A limits transactions with any one affiliate to 10% of the
institution's capital and surplus and limits aggregate affiliate transactions to
20% of such capital and surplus. Sections 23A and 23B provide that a loan
transaction with an affiliate generally must be collateralized (other than by a
low-quality asset or by securities issued by an affiliate) and that all covered
transactions as well as the sale of assets, the payment of money or the
providing of services by a savings institution to an affiliate must be on terms
and conditions that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the
savings institution, as those prevailing for comparable non-affiliated
transactions. A covered transaction is defined as a loan to an affiliate, the
purchase of securities issued by an affiliate, the purchase of assets from an
affiliate (with some exceptions), the acceptance of securities issued by an
affiliate as collateral for a loan or the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or
letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate. The OTS regulations clarify that
transactions between either a thrift or a thrift subsidiary and an unaffiliated
person that benefit an affiliate are considered covered transactions. A savings
institution may make loans to or otherwise extend credit to an affiliate only if
the affiliate is engaged solely in activities permissible for bank holding
companies. In addition, no savings institution may purchase the securities of
any affiliate other than the shares of a subsidiary. The Director of the OTS may
further restrict these transactions in the interest of safety and soundness. At
March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic was in compliance with the restrictions regarding
affiliate transactions.
Subordinated Debentures -- At March 31, 1996, BankAtlantic had no
subordinated debentures outstanding. BankAtlantic may increase its regulatory
risk-based capital by selling subordinated debentures only with the prior
written approval of the OTS. Applicable regulations also prohibit the inclusion
of subordinated debentures which have an original maturity of less than seven
years in the regulatory risk-based capital and restrict the timing of sinking
fund payments with respect to such securities. Inclusion in regulatory capital,
once issued with regulatory approval, is limited based on one of two elections
to be chosen by the issuing institution. The institution may elect to phase
capital inclusion out on a straight-line basis over the last five years to
maturity of the instrument, or may elect to limit the inclusion of the
subordinated debt with less than seven years to maturity to 20% of the
institution's capital. The OTS is permitted to determine the treatment of
subordinated debentures if an institution is in receivership.
Liquidity Requirements of the OTS -- The OTS' regulations currently require
all member savings institutions to maintain an average daily balance of liquid
assets (cash, certain time deposits, banker's acceptances, specified United
States government, state or Federal agency obligations and other corporate debt
obligations and commercial paper) equal to 5% of the sum of the average daily
balance during the preceding calendar month of net withdrawable accounts and
short-term borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement may
vary from time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions
and savings flows of all savings institutions. All savings institutions are also
required to maintain an
85
<PAGE> 86
average daily balance of short-term liquid assets (generally having maturities
of 12 months or less) equal to at least 1% of the average daily balance of net
withdrawable accounts and current borrowings. Monetary penalties may be imposed
by the OTS for failure to meet liquidity requirements. At March 31, 1996,
BankAtlantic was in compliance with all applicable liquidity requirements.
The Federal Reserve System -- BankAtlantic is subject to certain
regulations promulgated by the FRB. Pursuant to such regulations, savings
institutions are required to maintain non-interest bearing reserves against
their transaction accounts (which include deposit accounts that may be accessed
by writing checks) and non-personal time deposits. The FRB has authority to
adjust reserve percentages and to impose in specified circumstances emergency
and supplemental reserves in excess of the percentage limitations otherwise
prescribed. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by
the FRB may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements which may be imposed by
the OTS. In addition, FRB regulations limit the periods within which depository
institutions must provide availability for and pay interest on deposits to
transaction accounts. Depository institutions are required to disclose their
check holding policies and any changes to those policies in writing to
customers. BankAtlantic believes that it is in compliance with all such FRB
regulations.
Community Reinvestment Act -- Under the CRA, as implemented by OTS
regulations, a savings institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation
consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of
its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA
does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial
institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types
of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular
community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the OTS, in connection with
its examination of a savings institution, to assess the institution's record of
meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account
in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution. The CRA, as
amended by FIRREA, requires public disclosure of an institution's CRA rating and
requires that the OTS provide a written evaluation of an institution's CRA
performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system. The four ratings
are "outstanding record of meeting community credit needs", "satisfactory record
of meeting community credit needs", "needs to improve record of meeting
community credit needs" and "substantial non-compliance in meeting community
credit needs." An institution's CRA rating is taken into account in determining
whether to grant charters, branches and other deposit facilities, relocations,
mergers, consolidations and acquisitions. Poor CRA performance maybe the basis
for denying an application. BankAtlantic received a "satisfactory record of
meeting community credit needs" during its most recent OTS examination.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES
On October 23, 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). This Statement applies to all
transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing equity
instruments or by incurring liabilities where the payment amounts are based on
the entity's common stock price. The Statement covers transactions with
employees and non-employees and is applicable to both public and non-public
entities. Entities are allowed (1) to continue to use the APB Opinion No. 25
method ("APB 25"), or (2) to adopt the FAS 123 fair value based method. Once the
method is adopted, an entity cannot change and the method selected applies to
all of an entity's compensation plans and transactions. For entities not
adopting the FAS 123 fair value based method, FAS 123 requires pro forma net
income and earnings per share information as if the fair value based method has
been adopted. For entities not adopting the fair value based method the
disclosure requirements of FAS 123, including the pro forma information, are
effective for financial statement for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995 (calendar year 1996). The pro forma disclosures are to include all awards
granted in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1994 (calendar year 1995).
However, the disclosures, including the pro forma net income and earnings per
share disclosure, for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994
(calendar year 1995) will not be included in that year's financial statements
but will be included in the following year's (calendar year 1996) financial
statements if the first fiscal year is presented for comparative purposes.
Management intends to
86
<PAGE> 87
continue to use APB 25 and disclose the pro forma net income and earnings per
share information in the December 31, 1996 financial statements.
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
For Federal income tax purposes, BankAtlantic reports its income and
expenses on the accrual method of accounting. Savings institutions that meet
certain definitional tests and other conditions prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") relating primarily to the composition of their
assets and the nature of their business activities are, within certain
limitations, permitted to establish, and deduct additions to, reserves for bad
debts in amounts in excess of those which would otherwise be allowable on the
basis of actual loss experience. A qualifying savings institution may elect
annually, and is not bound by such election in any subsequent year, one of the
following two methods for computing additions to its bad debt reserves for
losses on "qualifying real property loans" (generally, loans secured by
interests in improved real property): (i) the experience method or (ii) the
percentage of taxable income method. BankAtlantic has utilized both the
percentage of taxable income method and the experience method in computing the
tax-deductible addition to its bad debt reserves. Additions to the reserve for
losses on non-qualifying loans, however, must be computed under the experience
method and reduce the current year's addition to the reserve for losses on
qualifying real property loans, unless that addition also is determined under
the experience method. The sum of the addition to each reserve for each year is
BankAtlantic's annual bad debt deduction. If the percentage of BankAtlantic's
specified qualifying assets (generally, loans secured by residential real estate
or deposits, banker's acceptances, educational loans, cash, government
obligations and certain certificates of deposit) were to fall below 60% of its
total assets, BankAtlantic would not be eligible to claim further bad debt
reserve deductions, and would recapture into income all previously accumulated
bad debt reserves. At December 31, 1995, BankAtlantic's qualifying assets were
in excess of 60% of total assets.
The experience method allows a savings institution to deduct the greater of
an amount based upon a six-year moving average of loan losses or an amount
determined with respect to its bad debt reserve for the "base year". The "base
year" is, for these purposes, the last taxable year beginning before 1988. From
1990 through 1993, BankAtlantic has utilized the experience method. For the tax
year ended December 31, 1994, BankAtlantic used the percentage of taxable income
method discussed below. For 1995, BankAtlantic anticipates using the experience
method.
Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt deduction
equals 8% of taxable income determined without regard to that deduction and with
certain adjustments. The percentage bad debt deduction thus computed is reduced
by the amount permitted as a deduction for the addition to the reserve for
losses on non-qualifying loans, which must be computed under the experience
method. The availability of the percentage of taxable income method permits
qualifying savings institutions to be taxed at a lower maximum effective federal
income tax rate than that applicable to corporations generally. The effective
maximum marginal federal income tax rate applicable to a qualifying savings
institution (exclusive of the alternative minimum tax), assuming the maximum
percentage bad debt deduction, is approximately 32.2%.
The percentage of taxable income method is available only to the extent
that amounts accumulated in reserves for losses on qualifying real property
loans do not exceed 6% of such loans at year-end. Use of this method is further
limited to the greater of (i) the amount which, when added to the amount
computed for the addition to the reserve for losses on non-qualifying loans,
equals the amount by which 12% of savings deposits or withdrawable accounts of
depositors at year-end exceeds the sum of surplus, undivided profits and
reserves at the beginning of the year or (ii) the amount determined under the
experience method. None of these limitations would have restricted the deduction
for the addition to the reserve for bad debts available to BankAtlantic for
1995.
BankAtlantic is permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to deduct an
annual addition to a reserve for bad debts in determining taxable income,
subject to certain limitations. To the extent that (i) a savings institution's
reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans exceeds the amount that
would have been allowed under the experience method and (ii) it makes
distributions to shareholders that are considered to result in withdrawals from
that excess bad debt reserve, then the amounts withdrawn will be included in its
87
<PAGE> 88
taxable income. The amount considered to be withdrawn by a distribution will be
the amount of the distribution plus the amount necessary to pay the tax with
respect to the withdrawal. Dividends paid out of the savings institution's
current or accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for Federal income
tax purposes, will not be considered to result in withdrawals from its bad debt
reserves. Accordingly, purchases of its outstanding stock by BankAtlantic could
result in an increase in BankAtlantic's taxable income in the period such stock
is repurchased. The increase in taxable income would be the lesser of the amount
repurchased divided by the reciprocal of the income tax rate or at December 31,
1995, maximum of $10.3 million. If BankAtlantic does not qualify as a qualified
savings association, as discussed above, the entire tax bad debt reserve would
be recaptured resulting in a $15.4 million increase in taxable income at
December 31, 1995.
Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized on the base year tax bad debt
reserve unless it becomes apparent that the reserve will be reduced and result
in taxable income in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 1995 and 1994
BankAtlantic's base year tax bad debt reserve was $8.3 million for each of such
dates, for which no deferred income taxes have been provided. If BankAtlantic no
longer meets any of the tests for a qualified savings association or repurchases
stock as discussed above, the base year bad debt reserve would be recaptured
resulting in an increase of $3.2 million in the provision for income taxes.
Florida Franchise Tax -- The State of Florida imposes a corporate franchise
tax on banks and savings and loan institutions, including bank holding
companies, at the rate of 5.5% on taxable income as determined for Florida
franchise tax purposes, in lieu of the Florida corporate income tax. Taxable
income for this purpose is based on federal taxable income in excess of $5,000
as adjusted by certain items. A credit is available against up to 65% of the
franchise tax otherwise due for certain intangible taxes imposed by the State of
Florida. The corporate franchise tax, exclusive of this credit availability, is
substantially equivalent to the Florida corporate income tax.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBENTURES
The Debentures are a series of debt securities issued under an Indenture,
dated as of July 3, 1996 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and First Trust
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Debentures are not savings
accounts or deposits and are not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental
agency. The terms and provisions of the Debentures include those stated in the
Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (the "Trust Indenture Act") as in effect on the date of
the Indenture. The Debentures are subject to all such terms, and holders of the
Debentures are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a
statement thereof. The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. A
copy of the Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, of
which this Prospectus is a part. For purposes of this section, the term
"Company" means only BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and not its subsidiaries.
GENERAL
The Debentures will be general unsecured obligations of the Company limited
to $50 million in aggregate principal amount, assuming no exercise of the
Underwriters' over-allotment option. The Debentures will not be secured by the
assets of the Company or otherwise and will not have the benefit of a sinking
fund for the retirement of principal. The Debentures will rank on par with all
subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including the Company's currently
outstanding $21 million principal amount of 9% Debentures, and will be
subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below)
of the Company, which may include obligations of the Company to BankAtlantic.
The Company, or any subsidiary of the Company including BankAtlantic, may incur
additional indebtedness constituting Senior Indebtedness or indebtedness (as
defined below) that ranks on par with the Debentures. The Indenture does not
limit the total indebtedness that either the Company or any of its subsidiaries
may incur. The Debentures will be subordinate to all indebtedness of the Company
that does not state that it is subordinate to or on par with the Debentures. The
right of the Company to participate in any distribution of assets of any
subsidiary, upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise (and thus the
ability of holders of the Debentures (the "Holders") to benefit indirectly from
such distribution) is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that
subsidiary.
The Debentures will mature on July 1, 2006, unless redeemed earlier at the
option of the Company. See "-- Redemption or Repurchase of Debentures." The
Debentures will bear interest at the rate per annum shown on the cover page of
this Prospectus from the date of delivery or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable
semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 1997,
to the person in whose name the Debenture (or any predecessor
90
<PAGE> 91
Debenture) is registered at the close of business on the preceding December 15
or June 15, as the case may be. Interest on the Debentures will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year or twelve 30-day months. The Trustee will serve as
Debenture Registrar and Paying Agent for the Debentures. Principal and interest
shall be payable by check mailed by the Trustee to the person entitled to
payment on the interest payment date.
The Debentures will be denominated in U.S. dollars and payments of
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Debentures will be in U.S.
dollars. The Debentures will be issued only in fully registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The
Debentures may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange and shall
be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. Money for the payment of principal or
interest or premium, if any, upon redemption remaining unclaimed for two years
will be returned to the Company at its request and thereafter the Holder may
only look to the Company for such amounts.
The Company's primary source of funds for the payment of principal and
interest on the Debentures is dividends from BankAtlantic. From time to time
while the Debentures are outstanding BankAtlantic may be subject to regulatory
or contractual constraints that restrict its ability to pay dividends to the
Company. See "Investment Considerations -- Sources of Payments to Holders of
Debentures; Ability to Pay Dividends; Possible Issuance of Additional
Securities" and "Regulation and Supervision -- Savings Institution
Regulations -- Restrictions on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions."
REDEMPTION OR REPURCHASE OF DEBENTURES
The Debentures are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, at any time after July 1, 1999, and in certain circumstances sooner, on
not less than 30 days notice, but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption
date at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount), plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if redeemed during the
twelve month period beginning July 1 of the years indicated below:

</TABLE>
The Company may at any time repurchase the Debentures at any price in the
open market or otherwise. Debentures so purchased by the Company may be held or
resold or, at the discretion of the Company, may be surrendered to the Trustee
for cancellation.
CONVERTIBILITY
The holder of any Debenture will have the right, at its option, to convert
the principal amount thereof (or any portion thereof in whole multiples of
$1,000) into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at a conversion price
of $16 per share (subject to adjustment as described below) at any time prior to
maturity, unless previously redeemed, or in case a Debenture has been called for
redemption, then with respect to such called Debenture, until and including the
close of business on the third business day preceding the redemption date. Upon
conversion, no payment of accrued interest will be made (unless the Debenture
surrendered for conversion has been called for redemption), but if any holder
surrenders a Debenture for conversion between the record date for the payment of
an installment of interest and the next Interest Payment Date (as defined in the
Indenture), such holder will forfeit his right to such interest payment and
therefore such Debenture (unless called for redemption), when surrendered for
conversion, must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest
thereon which the holder on such record date is entitled to receive on the next
interest payment date. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion, but
in lieu thereof, an appropriate amount based upon market prices will be paid in
cash by the Company. The Company will take all reasonable steps necessary to
comply with federal and state securities laws in connection with the issuance of
shares of
91
<PAGE> 92
Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Debentures so that upon conversion
such shares will not bear any legend restricting transfer.
ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS
The conversion price of the Debentures is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events, including (i) the payment of a dividend in shares
of Class A Common Stock to holders of Class A Common Stock or a dividend to
holders of Class A Common Stock payable in shares of the Company's capital stock
other than Class A Common Stock; (ii) the subdivision, combination or
reclassification of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock; (iii) the distribution to all holders of Class A Common Stock of
evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or cash
distributions payable out of retained earnings or stock dividends) or
subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above); or (iv)
the issuance of rights or warrants entitling anyone to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock or securities or instruments convertible into
shares of Class A Common Stock in each case at less than current market price
(as defined in the Indenture) for such Class A Common Stock. Any non-cash
dividend or distribution per share of Class B Common Stock must be identical to
the distribution per share of Class A Common Stock, except that a stock dividend
or other distribution to holders of Class A Common Stock may be declared and
issued in Class A Common Stock while a stock dividend or other distribution to
holders of Class B Common Stock may be declared and issued in either Class A
Common Stock or Class B Common Stock so long as the number of any shares so
issued is, on a per share basis, the same. See "Description of Capital
Stock -- Dividends." The Company will not be required to make any adjustments in
the conversion price of less than one percent of the conversion price, but the
same will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any
subsequent adjustment.
In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Class A Common
Stock (with certain exceptions) or in case of any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another person (with certain exceptions) or in case of any
transfer or conveyance of the property of the Company substantially as an
entirety, then the surviving entity will be required to execute and deliver a
supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Debenture then
outstanding would have the right thereafter to convert such Debenture into the
kind and amount of securities or property receivable upon the reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, transfer or conveyance by a holder of the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such Debenture could have been
converted immediately prior thereto.
SUBORDINATION
The principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures will be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company. As of March 31, 1996 the Company had no
Senior Indebtedness outstanding. The Debentures will rank on a par with all
subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including the Company's currently
outstanding $21 million principal amount of 9% Debentures. The Indenture does
not limit the amount of Senior Indebtedness or other indebtedness, secured or
unsecured, that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may incur. If payments on
any Senior Indebtedness have been accelerated, the Company shall be prohibited
from making any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the
Debentures until payments of the Senior Indebtedness are made or provided for.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Company in connection with any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, payment
of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures will be
subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, to the
prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness. By reason of such subordination,
in the event of a distribution of assets in any such proceeding, certain general
creditors of the Company may recover more, ratably, than holders of the
Debentures.
"Senior Indebtedness" means any and all Indebtedness (as defined in the
Indenture) of the Company, except any particular Indebtedness, the instrument
creating or evidencing the same or pursuant to which the
92
<PAGE> 93
same is outstanding expressly provides that such Indebtedness shall be
subordinate or shall rank pari passu in right of payment to the Debentures.
COVENANTS
The Indenture contains certain customary covenants found in Indentures
under the Trust Indenture Act, including covenants with respect to the payment
of principal and interest, maintenance of an office or agency for administering
the Debentures, holding of funds for payments on the Debentures in trust,
payment by the Company of taxes and other claims, maintenance by the Company of
its properties and its corporate existence and delivery of annual certifications
to the Trustee.
RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
The Indenture provides that the Company cannot declare or pay dividends on,
or purchase, redeem or acquire for value its capital stock, return any capital
to holders of capital stock as such, or make any distribution of assets to
holders of capital stock as such, unless, from and after the date of any such
dividend declaration (a "Declaration Date") or the date of any such purchase,
redemption, payment or distribution specified above (a "Redemption Date"), the
Company retains cash, cash equivalents (as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) or marketable securities (with a
market value as measured on the applicable Declaration Date or Redemption Date)
in an amount sufficient to cover the two consecutive semi-annual interest
payments that will be due and payable on the Debentures following such
Declaration Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be. The Indenture further
provides that the amount of any interest payment made by the Company with
respect to the Debentures after any applicable Declaration Date or Redemption
Date shall be deducted from the aggregate amount of cash or cash equivalents
which the Company shall be required to retain pursuant to the foregoing
provision.
The Indenture does not prohibit or restrict the Company from selling
additional shares of capital stock or other debt securities nor from pledging
BankAtlantic's capital stock. Further, BankAtlantic is not restricted from
issuing any shares of capital stock of BankAtlantic or debt securities of
BankAtlantic. However, the Company will not permit BankAtlantic to issue to BFC
or Mr. Alan B. Levan, any of BankAtlantic's capital stock or debt securities or
pledge any of the capital stock of BankAtlantic now or hereafter owned by the
Company in favor of BFC or Mr. Levan.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
An "Event of Default," as defined in the Indenture, includes (i) the
failure by the Company to pay principal of or premium, if any, on the Debentures
at maturity or upon redemption (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the
subordination provisions), (ii) the failure by the Company to pay interest on
any of the Debentures on any Interest Payment Date and such failure continues
for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the
subordination provisions), (iii) the failure by the Company to comply with any
of its other agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Indenture and
such default continues for the period and after the notice specified below and
(iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company.
A Default under clause (iii) above is not an Event of Default until the
Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding notify the Company and the
Trustee in writing, of the Default, and the Company does not cure the Default
within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default,
demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default".
Such notice shall be given by the Trustee if so requested in writing by the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding.
Any notice required to be delivered by the Trustee to the Company shall be given
promptly after the Trustee becomes aware of such Default or is requested by such
Holders to deliver such notice.
The Indenture provides that the Trustee will, within 90 days after the
occurrence of any Default known to it, mail to the Holders notice of such
Default, provided that, except in the case of Default in the payment of
93
<PAGE> 94
principal of or interest on any of the Debentures, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.
The Indenture only permits acceleration of payment of principal of the
Debentures upon an Event of Default resulting from the failure of the Company to
pay principal or interest on the Debentures or upon certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. If an Event of Default resulting from
the failure of the Company to pay principal or interest on the Debentures or
upon certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding, by notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare
to be immediately due and payable all unpaid principal of all the Debentures. An
acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded and past defaults waived by
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding
upon conditions provided in the Indenture. No Holder may pursue any remedy under
the Indenture unless such Holder has previously given to the Company and the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and unless the Holders
of at least 30% in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding have
requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy and offered the Trustee
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against loss, liability and expense to be
thereby incurred and the Trustee has failed so to act within 60 days after
receipt of the same.
The Indenture requires the Company to file periodic reports no less than
annually with the Trustee as to the absence of defaults.
SATISFACTION, DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE
The Indenture provides that the Company will at its option either (a) be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by and
its obligations under the Debentures (except for the obligation to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Debentures and certain
obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Debentures, to replace
temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures, to maintain an
office or agency in respect to the Debentures and to hold moneys for payment in
trust) ("legal defeasance") or (b) cease to be under any obligation to comply
with certain terms, provisions or conditions of the Indenture (those terms,
provisions or conditions described in the Indenture under "Consolidation, Merger
or Sale") or the terms, provisions or conditions of the Debentures ("covenant
defeasance") in either case, on the 91st day after (i) the Company has paid or
caused to be paid all other sums payable with respect to the outstanding
Debentures and the Company has delivered to the Trustee a certificate from an
authorized officer and an opinion of legal counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire
indebtedness on all of the outstanding Debentures have been complied with; (ii)
the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee
as a trust fund specifically pledged as security for the benefit of the holders
of the Debentures, (x) dollars in an amount or (y) U.S. Government Obligations
(as defined in the Indenture) (which through the payment of interest and
principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not
later than the due date of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the outstanding Debentures) in an amount or (z) a combination of (x)
and (y), sufficient to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and
interest or premium, if any, on the outstanding Debentures on the dates such
installments of interest or principal or premium, if any, are due; and (iii) no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit.
Among the conditions of the Company's exercising any such option, the Company is
required to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel of
recognized standing to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would
not cause the Holders of the Debentures to recognize income, gain or loss for
United States Federal income tax purposes and that the Holders will be subject
to United States Federal income tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and related
defeasance had not occurred.
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS
The Indenture provides that the Company will not merge or consolidate with
or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, any entity unless it is the
surviving or successor entity in such transaction and, immediately thereafter,
is not in default under the Indenture or, if it is not the surviving or
successor entity, the successor
94
<PAGE> 95
entity expressly assumes the Company's obligations under the Indenture and,
immediately after such transaction, the successor entity is not in default under
the Indenture. Any successor entity shall assume by supplemental indenture all
of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and the Indenture and the
entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of,
the Company under the Indenture, and thereafter the predecessor entity shall be
relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Debentures
issued thereunder and may thereafter be liquidated and dissolved.
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
The Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may, without the
consent of any holders of Debentures, enter into supplemental indentures for
purposes, among other things, of: (a) evidencing the succession of another
entity to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants
of the Company; (b) making any change that does not adversely affect the rights
of any Holders; or (c) curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; provided,
however, that such action shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders
in any material respect.
Most of the terms of the Indenture and the Debentures may be modified with
the consent of the Holders of not less than two-thirds of the principal amount
of Debentures then outstanding. However, each Holder must agree to: (i) an
extension of maturity, (ii) a reduction in principal amount or the rate of
interest on the Debentures, (iii) an increase in the conversion price of the
Debentures, (iv) a reduction in the premium, if any, payable upon redemption or
(v) a reduction in the aforesaid percentages required for modification.
The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant
or condition as set forth in the Indenture if before the time for such
compliance two-thirds of the Holders of the principal amount of Debentures then
outstanding shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver may extend
to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly
waived, and until such waiver has become effective, the obligation of the
Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant will
remain in full force and effect. No supplemental indenture will affect the
seniority rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness without the consent of
the such holders.
REGARDING THE TRUSTEE
The Company and its subsidiaries may maintain deposit accounts and conduct
other banking transactions with the Trustee in the ordinary course of their
businesses.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary description of the Company's capital stock does not
purport to be complete and is subject to the more detailed provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and is qualified in its entirety
by reference thereto.
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, 15,000,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of May 29, 1996, the
Company had 1,311,803 shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,625,266 shares of
Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock
were outstanding.
The Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock have substantially
identical terms except that (i) the Class B Common Stock is entitled to one vote
per share while the Class A Common Stock has no voting rights other than those
which may be required by Florida law in certain limited circumstances and (ii)
the Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive cash dividends equal to at least
110% of any cash dividends declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock.
95
<PAGE> 96
VOTING
The holders of Class B Common Stock currently possess exclusive voting
rights in the Company. Shares of Preferred Stock issued in the future may be
granted voting rights at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On matters
submitted to the shareholders of the Company, the holders of the Class B Common
Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held, while holders of Class A
Common Stock will not be entitled to vote except as may be required by Florida
law. Under the Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA"), holders of Class A
Common Stock would currently be entitled to vote as a separate voting group on
certain amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation including, without
limitation, amendments which (i) increase or decrease the authorized number of
shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) change the designation, rights, preferences
or limitations of the Class A Common Stock, (iii) create a new class of shares,
or increase the rights, preferences or number of authorized shares, which would
have rights or preferences with respect to distributions or dissolution that are
prior, superior or substantially equal to the Class A Common Stock, or (iv)
effect an exchange or reclassification of shares of another class of stock into
shares of Class A Common Stock or of Class A Common Stock into shares of another
class. In addition, under the FBCA holders of Class A Common Stock would
currently be entitled to vote as a separate voting group on any plan of merger
or plan of share exchange which contains a provision which, if included in a
proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, would require their vote as
a separate voting group. No shares have cumulative voting rights.
DIVIDENDS
Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are
entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors
out of funds legally available therefor. The holders of Class A Common Stock
will be entitled to receive cash dividends in an amount equal to at least 110%
of any cash dividends declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock. With
respect to dividends other than cash (including stock splits and stock
dividends), the distribution per share with respect to Class A Common Stock will
be identical to the distribution per share with respect to Class B Common Stock,
except that a stock dividend or other distribution to holders of Class A Common
Stock may be declared and issued in Class A Common Stock while a stock dividend
or other distribution to holders of Class B Common Stock may be declared and
issued in either Class A Common or Class B Common Stock (at the discretion of
the Board) provided that the number of any shares so issued is, on a per share
basis, the same. The ability of the Company to pay cash dividends is subject to
the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to the
Company, which in turn is subject to limitations which are imposed by law and
regulation. See "Regulation and Supervision -- Savings Institution
Regulations -- Results of Failure to Meet Capital Requirements," "-- Supervision
Agreement," "-- Holding Company Regulations" and "-- Restrictions on Dividends
and Other Capital Distributions."
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, all assets
of the Company legally available for distribution after payment or provision for
payment of: (i) all debts and liabilities of the Company; (ii) any accrued
dividend claims; (iii) liquidation preferences of any Preferred Stock which may
be outstanding; and (iv) any interests in the Company's liquidation account,
will be distributed ratably, in cash or in kind, among the holders of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar -- Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services,
Ridgefield Park, New Jersey.
Other Characteristics -- Neither the Class A Common Stock nor the Class B
Common Stock is entitled to any preemptive right to subscribe for or receive any
shares of any class of stock of the Company (or any securities convertible into
shares of stock of the Company) issued in the future.
PREFERRED STOCK
In supplementary sections to its Articles of Incorporation, the Company may
provide for one or more classes of Preferred Stock, which must be separately
identified. The shares of any such class may be divided
96
<PAGE> 97
into and issued in series, with each series separately designated so as to
distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes.
The terms of each series shall be set forth in a supplementary section to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation and may provide for, among other things,
board representation, voting rights and dividend and liquidation preferences.
All shares of the same class must be identical except as to certain relative
rights and preferences specified in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as
to which there may be variations between different series.

such option to purchase additional Debentures solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, incurred in the sale of the Debentures.

toward certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The
Company has agreed to reimburse the Representative for certain expenses and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three year period ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial
statements (formerly the consolidated financial statements of BankAtlantic, A
Federal Savings Bank, prior to reorganization) are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BankAtlantic
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. On July 13, 1994, BankAtlantic,
A Federal Savings Bank ("BankAtlantic") consummated its reorganization (the
"Reorganization") into a holding company structure and BankAtlantic Bancorp.,
Inc. (the "Company") acquired all the capital stock of BankAtlantic thereby
becoming a unitary savings bank holding company. The Reorganization resulted in
the shareholders of BankAtlantic becoming shareholders of the Company on the
same proportionate basis as their ownership in BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This Reorganization has been
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, and has been given
retroactive effect in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At the
time of, and as a result of the Reorganization, BFC Financial Corporation
("BFC") owned approximately 48.17% of the common stock of the Company. The
accounts of BFC are not included in the consolidated financial statements of the
Company. The Company's primary asset is the capital stock of BankAtlantic and
its principal activities relate to the operations of BankAtlantic and
BankAtlantic's subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are primarily utilized to
dispose of real estate acquired through foreclosure. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. At
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, BFC's ownership in the Company's total
outstanding (A and B) common stock was 41% and 46%, respectively. At March 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, BFC owned 46% of Class B Common Stock. (See also
"Common Stock" and Note 10).
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition and
operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change in the next year relate to the determination of the allowance
for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of
the allowances for loan losses and real estate owned, management obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties when it is deemed prudent.
All information related to March 31, 1996 and the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, is unaudited.
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
statement presentations for 1996.
Cash Equivalents. Cash and due from depository institutions include demand
deposits at other financial institutions and federal funds sold. Generally,
federal funds are generally sold for one-day periods.
Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities. In May, 1993, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities ("FAS 115"). FAS 115 was implemented, prospectively, by BankAtlantic
on January 1, 1994. Under FAS 115, investments in debt securities which
BankAtlantic has a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as securities held to maturity and are carried at cost, adjusted for
discounts and premiums which are accreted or amortized to estimated maturity
under the interest method. In accordance with FAS 115, a security cannot be
classified as held to maturity if it might be sold in response to changes in
market interest rates, related changes in the security's prepayment risk,
liquidity needs, changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative
investments, and changes in funding sources and terms. Prior to the adoption of
FAS 115, securities that were held for sale were stated at the lower of
amortized cost or market. Upon adoption of FAS 115, all securities that were
previously classified as held for sale were designated as "available for sale".

BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Debt and equity securities and options related thereto, purchased or sold
for the purpose of a short-term profit are classified as "trading account
securities" and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses in
trading account securities are reflected in operations.
Debt and equity securities not classified as held to maturity or trading
account securities are classified as "available for sale". Debt and equity
securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with the related
unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of deferred income taxes, reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
At December 31, 1994, the effect of implementing FAS 115 was to increase
the amount stated for debt securities available for sale by $314,000, record
related deferred income taxes of $121,000, and reflect the net of these amounts,
$193,000, as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
On November 15, 1995, the FASB issued Special Report No. 155-B, A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities (the "Special Report"). Pursuant to the Special Report,
BankAtlantic was permitted to conduct a one-time reassessment of the
classifications of all securities held at that time. Any reclassifications from
the held-to-maturity category made in conjunction with that reassessment would
not call into question an enterprise's intent to hold other debt securities to
maturity in the future. BankAtlantic undertook such a reassessment and,
effective December 15, 1995, all mortgage-backed and investment securities,
excluding tax certificates then classified as held-to-maturity were reclassified
as available for sale. On the effective date of the reclassification, the
securities transferred had a carrying value of $638.8 million and an estimated
fair value of $644.1 million, resulting in a net increase to stockholder's
equity for the net unrealized appreciation of $3.3 million, after deducting
applicable income taxes of $2.0 million.
Tax Certificates. Tax certificates are carried at cost. All tax
certificates are classified as held to maturity because management has the
positive intent and ability to hold such certificates to maturity. Tax
certificates and resulting deeds are classified as non-accrual when a tax
certificate is 48 months delinquent and a deed has aged 48 months from
BankAtlantic's acquisition date. At that time interest ceases to be accrued.
Prior to 1994, the practice was to establish an allowance for any interest
accrued after a specified term after acquisition of the certificate. The new
methodology charges off certificates at the same point in time, but discontinues
the practice of accruing interest and establishing an allowance for amounts
accrued after the specified term.
Allowance for tax certificate losses represents the amount which management
believes is sufficient to provide for future losses. In establishing its
allowance for tax certificates, management considers past loss experience,
present indicators, such as the length of time the certificate has been
outstanding, economic conditions and collateral values.
Construction and Development Lending. BankAtlantic's construction and
development lending generally requires an equity investment in the form of
contributed assets or direct cash investment from the borrower. Other than
advances to joint ventures, BankAtlantic has no loans which provide for a
participation in profits at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Accordingly, construction and development lending arrangements have been
classified and accounted for as loans.
Non-Accrual Loans, Impaired Loans and Real Estate Owned. Interest income
on loans, including the recognition of discounts and loan fees, is accrued based
on the outstanding principal amount of loans using the interest method. A loan
is generally placed on nonaccrual status, at the earlier of, management becoming
aware that the borrower has entered bankruptcy proceedings and the loan is
delinquent, or when the loan is past due 90 days as to either principal or
interest. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued but not
received is reversed against interest income. A nonaccrual loan may be restored
to accrual status when delinquent loan payments are collected and the loan is
expected to perform according to its contractual terms. Management considers a
loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes
it is probable that BankAtlantic will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the
F-10
<PAGE> 111
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
loan agreement. BankAtlantic continues to accrue interest on restructured loans
and other impaired loans since full payment of principal and interest is
expected and such loans are performing and therefore do not meet the above
criteria for nonaccrual status.
BankAtlantic adopted prospectively Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("FAS
114"), effective January 1, 1995. There was no impact to the consolidated
statement of financial condition or the consolidated statement of operations
upon implementation. FAS 114 does not apply to large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans
collectively reviewed by BankAtlantic for impairment include residential and
consumer loans and performing commercial real estate and business loans under
$500,000, excluding loans which are individually reviewed based on specific
criteria, such as delinquency and condition of collateral property.
BankAtlantic's impaired loans within the scope of FAS 114 include nonaccrual
commercial loans, restructured loans, and performing commercial loans less than
90 days delinquent, where management does not expect the loans to be repaid in
accordance with their contractual terms but which are expected to be collected
in full. Generally, BankAtlantic recognizes interest income on impaired loans on
a cash basis.
Allowance for Loan Losses. BankAtlantic, beginning on January 1, 1995,
bases the measurement of loan impairment on the fair value of the loan's
collateral in accordance with FAS 114. Non-collateral dependent loan impairment
is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Impairment
losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the
provision for loan losses. Adjustments to impairment losses resulting from
changes in the fair value of an impaired loan's collateral or projected cash
flows are included in the provision for loan losses. Upon disposition of an
impaired loan, any related valuation allowance is relieved from the allowance
for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained by additions charged to
operations as a provision for loan losses and by loan recoveries, with
charge-offs reducing the allowance. BankAtlantic's process for evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses has three basic elements: first, the
identification of impaired loans; second, the establishment of appropriate loan
loss allowances once individual specific impaired loans are identified; and
third, a methodology for estimating loan losses based on the inherent risk in
the remainder of the loan portfolio.
The identification of impaired loans is achieved mainly through individual
review of all commercial real estate and business loans over $500,000. Loss
allowances are established for specifically identified impaired loans based on
the fair value of the underlying collateral, and for non collateral dependent
loans, the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
The methodology for estimating losses inherent for non impaired loans also
includes estimates based upon consideration of actual loss experience for loans
during the past several years by loan type, condition of collateral and
projected economic conditions and other trends. Based upon this process,
consideration of the current economic environment and other factors, management
determines what it considers to be an appropriate allowance for loan losses.
Although BankAtlantic believes it has a sound basis for this estimation, actual
charge-offs incurred in the future are highly dependent upon future events,
including the economics of the areas in which BankAtlantic lends. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review BankAtlantic's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require BankAtlantic to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Real Estate Owned ("REO"). Is recorded at the lower of the loan balance,
plus acquisition costs, or fair value, less estimated disposition costs.
Expenditures for capital improvements made thereafter are generally capitalized.
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is anticipated to be sold and
valuation allowance
F-11
<PAGE> 112
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
adjustments are made to reflect any subsequent changes in fair values from the
initially recorded amount. Costs of holding REO are charged to operations as
incurred. Provisions and reversals in the REO valuation allowance are reflected
in operations.
Profit or loss on real estate sold is recognized in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate. Any estimated loss is recognized in the period in which it becomes
apparent.
Office Properties and Equipment. Land is carried at cost. Office
properties and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets which generally range up to 50 years for buildings and 10
years for equipment. The cost of leasehold improvements is being amortized using
the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.
Expenditures for new properties and equipment and major renewals and
betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred and gains or losses on disposal of assets are
reflected in current operations.
In 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard SFAS
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." ("FAS 121"). FAS 121 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the
review for recoverability, the entity should estimate the future cash flows
expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If
the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is
recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and
identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based
on the fair value of the asset. FAS 121 is effective for financial statements
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. BankAtlantic adopted FAS 121
effective January 1, 1996. Adoption of FAS 121 did not have any effect on
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position or Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Loans Originated for Resale. Residential first mortgage loans originated
for resale are reported at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an
aggregate basis. Loan origination fees and related direct loan origination costs
for these loans are deferred until the related loan is sold. Generally these
loans are committed for sale prior to origination; however, beginning in 1993, a
portion of these loans were not committed for sale, and were or will be held for
no longer than 12 months.
Loan Origination and Commitment Fees, Premiums and Discounts on Loans and
Mortgage Banking Activities. Origination and commitment fees collected are
deferred net of direct costs and are being amortized to interest income over the
loan life using the level yield method. Amortization of deferred fees is
discontinued when the related loan is placed on non-accrual status. Commitment
fees related to expired commitments are recognized as income when the commitment
expires.
Unearned discounts on installment, second mortgage and home improvement
loans are amortized to income using the level yield method over the terms of the
related loans. Unearned discounts on purchased loans are amortized to income
using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the loans.
Loan Servicing Fees. BankAtlantic services mortgage loans for investors.
These mortgage loans serviced are not included in the accompanying consolidated
statements of financial condition. Loan servicing fees are based on a stipulated
percentage of the outstanding loan principal balances being serviced and are
recognized as income when related loan payments from mortgagors are collected.
Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred. Amounts paid for
purchased mortgage servicing rights are amortized to expense using the level
yield method over the estimated life of the loan, and continually adjusted for
prepayments. Management
F-12
<PAGE> 113
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
evaluates the carrying value of purchased mortgage servicing rights by
estimating the future net servicing income of the portfolio on a discounted,
disaggregated basis, based on estimates of the remaining loan lives. Prior to
January 1, 1996, mortgage servicing rights related to loans originated by
BankAtlantic, were not capitalized.
In May 1995 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
122 ("FAS 122") which eliminated the accounting distinction between rights to
service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan origination
activities and those acquired through purchase transactions. FAS 122 requires an
entity to recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
others, however those servicing rights are acquired. FAS 122 requires the
periodic evaluation of capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment
based on fair value. On January 1, 1996, this statement was implemented
prospectively. The initial valuation of MSR's are on an individual loan basis.
Both purchased and originated MSR's are amortized to expense using the level
yield method over the estimated life of the loan and continually adjusted for
prepayments. For the purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment of MSR's,
the Company stratifies those rights based on the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans. Those characteristics include loan
type, note rate and term. Upon implementation of FAS 122, no additional
valuation allowance was required. Adjustments to the valuation allowance are
reflected in operations.
Dealer Reserves, Net. The dealer reserve receivable represents the portion
of interest rates passed through to dealers on indirect consumer loans.
BankAtlantic had funded 0-100% of the total dealer reserve at the inception of
the loan and currently funds 100% of the dealer reserves. Dealer reserves are
amortized over the contractual life of the related loans, adjusted for actual
prepayments, using the interest method and classified as an adjustment to
interest income except for the Subject Portfolio discussed further in Note 15
herein. Dealer reserves are stated net of accumulated amortization, allowances,
valuation adjustments, and any unfunded amounts due to the dealer.
Cost over fair value of net assets acquired and other intangible
assets. Cost over fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years. A non-
competition agreement was being amortized on a straight-line basis over its
useful life which was revised from six years to approximately three years. Cost
over fair value of net assets acquired and other intangible assets is evaluated
by management for impairment on an on-going basis based on the facts and
circumstances related to the net assets acquired.
Income Taxes. BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries have previously filed
consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Beginning with the tax year
ended December 31, 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries, including
BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries, will file consolidated federal and state
income tax returns.
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to account for income
taxes. Under the asset and liability method , deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets
and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the statutory
enactment date.
Common Stock. On February 13, 1996, the stockholders of the Company
approved at a special meeting, an amendment to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Amendment") authorizing 30,000,000 shares of a new class of
non-voting common stock designated Class A Common Stock, and redesignating the
Company's existing common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as Class B Common
Stock. The Class A Common Stock has no voting rights except as may be required
by Florida law. The two classes of stock generally have the same economic
rights, except Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive cash dividends equal
to at least 110% of any cash dividends declared and paid on Class B Common
Stock.
F-13

BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Preferred Stock. All three series of non-cumulative preferred stock had a
preference value of $25.00 per share and the shares issued were redeemable by
BankAtlantic at $25.00 per share. On July 13, 1994, pursuant to the
Reorganization, 260 shares of BankAtlantic's Series C preferred stock held by
dissenting shareholders were canceled in connection with the holders' exercise
of statutory appraisal rights. In October 1995, all preferred stock was
redeemed. For purposes of calculating income per common share, the excess of the
redemption price above the recorded amount is considered a preferred stock
dividend.
Income Per Common Share. In calculating income per common and common
equivalent share ("primary income per share") preferred stock dividends are
deducted from net income and the resulting amount is divided by the weighted
average number of common and common equivalents shares outstanding, when
dilutive. Common stock equivalents consist of common stock warrants and options.
In May 1993, a 15% stock dividend was declared and in June 1995 and January
1996, the Board of Directors declared five for four stock splits effected in the
form of 25% stock dividends issued in July 1995 and February 1996, respectively.
Where appropriate, amounts throughout this report have been adjusted to reflect
the stock dividend and stock splits.
Income per common and common equivalent share assuming full dilution
("fully diluted income per share") is calculated as above and, if dilutive,
after adjustment for interest charges as a result of the hypothetical conversion
of the BFC subordinated debentures, through their actual conversion date of June
30, 1993. Fully diluted income per share also utilizes the period end market
price of common stock if such price is greater than the average market price
utilized in computing primary income per share.
Common stock equivalents are not reflected in income per share until the
market price of the common stock obtainable has been in excess of the exercise
price for substantially all of three consecutive months, ending with the last
month of the period.

On October 23, 1995, the FASB issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). This Statement applies to all
transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing equity
instruments or by incurring liabilities where the payment amounts are based on
the entity's common stock price. The Statement covers transactions with
employees and non-employees and is applicable to both public and non-public
entities. Entities are allowed (1) to continue to use the Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 method ("APB 25"), or (2) to adopt the FAS 123 fair value
based method. Once the method is adopted, an entity cannot change and the method
selected applies to all of an entity's compensation plans and transactions. For
entities not adopting the FAS 123 fair value based method, FAS 123 requires pro
forma net income and earnings per share information as if the fair value based
method has been adopted. For
F-14
<PAGE> 115
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
entities not adopting the fair value based method, the disclosure requirements
of FAS 123, including the pro forma information, are effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 (calendar year
1996). The pro forma disclosures are to include all awards granted in fiscal
years that begin after December 15, 1994 (calendar year 1995). However, the
disclosures, including the pro forma net income and earnings per share
disclosure, for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994
(calendar year 1995) will not be included in that year's financial statements
but will be included in the following year's (calendar year 1996) financial
statements if the first fiscal year is presented for comparative purposes.
Management intends to continue to use APB 25 and disclose the pro forma net
income and earnings per share information in the December 31, 1996 and
subsequent financial statements.
2. DEBT SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AND HELD-TO-MATURITY
Effective December 15, 1995, all mortgage-backed and investment securities,
excluding tax certificates then classified as held-to-maturity were reclassified
as available for sale. On the effective date of the reclassification, the
securities transferred had a carrying value of $638.8 million and an estimated
fair value of $644.1 million resulting in a net increase to stockholders' equity
for the net unrealized appreciation of $3.3 million after deducting applicable
income taxes of $1.2 million.

In Florida, tax certificates represent a priority lien against real
property for which assessed real estate taxes are delinquent. BankAtlantic's
experience with this type of investment has been favorable as rates earned are
generally higher than many alternative investments and substantial repayment
occurs over a two year period. The primary risks BankAtlantic has experienced
with tax certificates have related to the risk that additional funds may be
required to purchase other certificates related to the property, the risk that
the liened property may be unusable and the risk that potential environmental
concerns may make taking title to the property untenable. See Note 5 for
activity in the allowance for tax certificate losses.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, $73.1 million of
mortgage-backed securities were sold, resulting in a $2.3 million gain. During
the year ended December 31, 1995, $253,000 of Federal Reserve stock and $599,000
of GNMA mortgage-backed securities were sold resulting in an adjustment to cost
over fair value of net assets acquired of $26,000, as these securities were
acquired in the MegaBank acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 1994
and 1993, there were no sales of debt securities.
BankAtlantic's mortgage-backed securities held to maturity portfolio at
December 31, 1994 consisted of FNMA seven year balloon securities that mature in
1999-2000, FNMA adjustable rate securities that mature in 2023-2024, FNMA real
estate mortgage investment conduits that mature in 1997, FHLMC five and seven
year mortgage-backed securities that mature in 1996-2000 and FHLMC adjustable
rate mortgage-backed securities that mature in 2022-2024. Included in
mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 1994 was $139.5 million and $1.7
million of FHLMC and FNMA adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. There were
no mortgage-backed securities held to maturity at December 31, 1995, and March
31, 1996.
An objective of BankAtlantic has been to improve its cumulative rate
sensitivity gap. In furtherance of this objective, BankAtlantic purchased, from
1990 through March 31, 1996 approximately $775.0 million of intermediate term
and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. Purchases of this type of
security are directed at reducing the intermediate term interest rate
sensitivity, reinvesting funds from principal repayments, reducing market
volatility compared to the longer term fixed rate mortgage-backed securities and
also providing future opportunities to improve liquidity.
During the third quarter of 1993, BankAtlantic established an investment
policy to increase fee income by selling uncovered European put options on
five-year treasury notes with notional principal not to exceed $10.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 1994, BankAtlantic sold two $5.0 million
U.S. Treasury European put options with expiration dates of April 27, 1994 and
May 31, 1994, respectively. BankAtlantic acquired the two five-year treasury
notes on the respective option expiration dates for $9.7 million and recorded
the notes in the trading category. At December 31, 1994, the mark-to-market
allowance for these treasury notes was $558,000. On May 11, 1995, in order to
lock-in the market values on the above treasury notes, BankAtlantic purchased
two 90 day U.S. Treasury European put options with the proceeds from the sale of
two 90 day U.S. Treasury European call options. The put options and call options
had $5.0 million notional principal each and expired on August 7, 1995. The
unrealized gain/loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations
under net "trading account securities" and amounted to an unrealized loss of
$558,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, with the 1994 option proceeds
reducing the call on the treasury notes. A net realized gain of $589,000 was
recognized inclusive of the 1995 options for the

year ended December 31, 1995 on the sale of the trading account securities upon
exercise of the call option. An unrealized gain on trading account securities of
$310,000 was recognized as of March 31, 1995.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, BankAtlantic invested in repurchase agreements. The ending
balances at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994 were zero, the maximum
amount of repurchase agreements outstanding at any month end and the average
amount invested for the periods were zero, $20.0 million and $771,000 and $1.5
million, $29.0 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The underlying
securities were in the possession of BankAtlantic. During the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 BankAtlantic sold federal
funds. The outstanding balances at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, maximum
amount of federal funds sold outstanding at any month end and the average amount
invested for the period were zero, $5.9 million and $4.1 million and zero, $11.0
million and $2.6 million, respectively.

5. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS
Risk elements consist of non-accrual loans, non-accrual tax certificates,
restructured loans, past-due loans, REO, repossessed assets, and other loans
which management has doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with the
contractual repayment terms. Non-accrual loans are loans on which interest
recognition has been suspended because of doubts as to the borrower's ability to
repay principal or interest. Non-accrual tax certificates are tax deeds or
securities in which interest recognition has been suspended due to the aging of
the certificate or deed. Restructured loans are where the terms have been
altered to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a
deterioration in the borrower's financial position. BankAtlantic did not have
any commitments outstanding to lend additional funds on restructured loans at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and 1994. BankAtlantic has no commitments
to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans are classified as
restructured.

Beginning in 1990, the Office of the Comptroller for the State of Florida
("Comptroller") commenced a review of BankAtlantic's procedures for the
assessment of fees on dormant accounts. The Comptroller subsequently indicated
that BankAtlantic was not in compliance with applicable Florida law as
interpreted by the Comptroller. The difference in interpretation concerned
approximately $500,000. BankAtlantic amended its procedures to satisfy the
Comptroller's interpretation. While pending resolution, dormant account
assessments, approximately $10,000 per month, were eliminated for the period
1992 through March 1994, and an allowance was established for the amount in
question. During March 1994, modified procedures were instituted which
management believes comply with the applicable Florida laws and during April
1994, BankAtlantic began currently recognizing dormant account fee income. On
June 30, 1994 all issues were resolved with the Comptroller and in connection
therewith, BankAtlantic remitted $250,000 to the Comptroller and recognized
$332,000 of previously deferred dormant account fee income.

Short term FHLB advances at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994,
amounted to $23.5 million, $106.8 million and $55.0 million, respectively. At
March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and 1994, BankAtlantic pledged specific
mortgage-backed securities as collateral in the amount of $81.9 million, $105.6
million, and $62.4 million for short-term borrowings, respectively, for FHLB
advances. In June 1994, the FHLB accepted BankAtlantic's request to establish a
blanket floating lien for additional advance borrowings. Under a blanket
floating lien, BankAtlantic is exempt from having to assign specific collateral
to the FHLB. In addition, FHLB stock is pledged as collateral for outstanding
FHLB advances. In August 1994, a $300 million Credit Availability was
established with the FHLB with a maximum term of ten years.
During the fourth quarter of 1994, BankAtlantic established three $5.0
million unsecured lines of credit with three federally insured banking
institutions for the purchase of Federal Funds. At March 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995, the outstanding balance of these lines of credit was $0 and $1.2
million, respectively. The average balance outstanding and maximum outstanding
balance at any month end during 1995, and the three months of 1996 of the three
Federal Funds purchased lines of credit was $1.0 million and $4.5 million and
$1.5 million and $0, respectively.

10. CAPITAL NOTES, SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES, NOTE PAYABLE, PREFERRED STOCK,
COMMON STOCK WARRANTS, COMMON STOCK OPTIONS AND COMMON STOCK
In order to increase its regulatory capital, BankAtlantic issued $25.0
million of its 1986 Capital Notes between January and August 1986. In March
1991, $10.2 million of 1986 Capital Notes were exchanged for noncumulative
preferred stock, cash payments and cash bonuses. All three series of
non-cumulative preferred stock had a preference value of $25.00 per share and
were redeemable at $25.00 per share. During July 1994, 260 shares of Series C
preferred stock were canceled in connection with the exercise of dissenters'
rights by certain BankAtlantic preferred shareholders in connection with the
Reorganization. In July 1993, BankAtlantic received approval from the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to redeem all remaining Capital Notes and
subordinated debentures. BankAtlantic redeemed the remaining $6.8 million of
1986 Capital Notes and $1 million of 14% subordinated debentures on August 31,
1993 at par. Funds for the redemption were provided from loan repayments.
As a condition of the exchange of 1986 Capital Notes for preferred stock,
BFC placed cash in an escrow account equal to dividends payable on the preferred
stock for the first two years. The amount placed in escrow was approximately
$1.7 million. This escrow account was utilized by BankAtlantic to pay the
preferred
F-28
<PAGE> 129
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
shareholder dividends during the first two years after issuance. Upon
establishing the escrow account, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement with BFC
that BFC be issued 13% subordinated debentures in the amount of the escrow
utilized, as well as non-detachable warrants to acquire additional shares of
BankAtlantic common stock on the basis of $1.12 per share purchase price to the
extent of subordinated debentures issued and any interest accrued and not
currently paid thereon. The related warrants were to expire at maturity of the
related subordinated debentures on March 7, 1998. The exercise price of the
warrants subject to the agreement was established at the greater of 120% of the
average market price of BankAtlantic stock during the 30 days prior to the
funding of the escrow or $1.11 per common share. At March 7, 1991, 120% of the
average market price of BankAtlantic common stock was $1.12, resulting in the
exercise price of the warrants being set at $1.12 per common share. Effective
June 30, 1993, BFC exercised its warrants to acquire 1,759,886 shares of
BankAtlantic's common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The payment
of the $1,971,072 purchase price was made through the tender of subordinated
debentures held by BFC. During July 1993, accrued interest of $83,704 was paid
to BFC for interest accrued on the subordinated debentures from March 1, 1993 to
June 30, 1993. From March 1991 through February 1993, BFC provided funds for the
payment of dividends on BankAtlantic's preferred stock. BFC has no further
obligation to provide the funds for payment of any dividends by BankAtlantic or
the Company. In October 1995, all series of preferred stock were redeemed at
$25.00 per share. BFC owned the following shares of preferred stock which were
obtained through open market purchases. The shares were redeemed on October 7,
1995.

The Company intends to pay a regular cash quarterly common stock dividend.
The availability of funds for the payment of dividends is generally dependent
upon BankAtlantic's ability to pay dividends to the Company.
In June 1990, a third party acquired $1.0 million of BankAtlantic's
subordinated debentures at a rate of 14% per annum with a maturity of June 1997.
The subordinated debentures were issued with detachable warrants entitling the
holder to purchase 338,395 shares of BankAtlantic's common stock at an exercise
price of $2.96 per share at any time prior to maturity. On March 31, 1991,
BankAtlantic issued to certain of its existing shareholders, 7,623 shares of
common stock and $8,000 of 14% subordinated debentures, having a March 1998
maturity date, with related detachable warrants to purchase 7,188 shares of
common stock. The $1.0 million and $8,000 of subordinated debentures were
redeemed along with the Capital Notes on August 31, 1993. However, the warrants
relating to such debentures are detachable and remain outstanding until the
earlier of exercise or original maturity of the subordinated debentures. The
warrants outstanding at December 1994 relating to the redeemed debentures were
338,395 and 5,388 with exercise prices of $2.96 and $1.11, respectively. On May
12, 1995, 338,395 of these stock warrants were exercised for $2.96 per share.
The proceeds of $1.0 million were utilized to partially repay the note payable
discussed below. The warrants outstanding at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995 relating to the redeemed debentures are 4,490 with a $1.11 exercise price.
On March 30, 1995, the Company borrowed $4.0 million from an unrelated
financial institution and incurred financing costs of $69,000. The debt matured
on March 30, 1996, bore interest at prime plus 1% and was collateralized by 12%
non-cumulative preferred stock of BankAtlantic having a preference value of $4.0
million. The $4.0 million was utilized by the Company to purchase the
BankAtlantic preferred stock used as collateral. The note payable was reduced to
$1,000 in September 1995 and the note was converted to a

$3.0 million line of credit with the same maturity and interest rate as the
original agreement. At March 31, 1996 the note was paid in full.
On November 12, 1993, BankAtlantic closed a public offering of 2.81 million
common shares at a price of $8.64 per common share. Of the 2.81 million shares
sold, 625,000 shares were sold by BankAtlantic and 2.18 million shares were sold
by BFC. Net proceeds to BankAtlantic from the sale of the 625,000 shares were
approximately $4.6 million. In connection with the public offering, BankAtlantic
granted the underwriters a 30 day option to purchase up to 421,875 additional
shares of common stock to cover overallotments. On November 10, 1993, the
underwriters exercised this option to purchase the 421,875 shares, with a
closing date of November 18, 1993. The additional net proceeds to BankAtlantic
were approximately $3.4 million. Upon sale of the 3,234,375 shares, BFC's
ownership of BankAtlantic changed from 77.83% to 48.17%.
In a public offering dated September 22, 1995, the Company issued $21.0
million principal amount of 9% subordinated debentures due October 1, 2005 (the
"9% Debentures"). The underwriting discount and other expenses of $1.0 million
are included in other assets in the December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996
statement of financial condition. The proceeds from the offering were utilized
as follows: $6.0 million was contributed to the capital of BankAtlantic; $2.9
million was utilized to repay a note payable; $8.4 million was used to redeem
all of the outstanding shares of the Company non-cumulative preferred stock,
and, in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture under which the 9%
Debentures were issued, $1.9 million was invested in marketable securities to
cover two semi-annual interest payments. The October 7, 1995 preferred stock
redemption resulted in a $1.4 million payment above the recorded amount of the
preferred stock. Such excess was treated as a preferred stock dividend and
impacted earnings per common and common equivalent share by $.13 and $.12 per
share, respectively for the year ended December 31, 1995.
On February 13, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved at a special
meeting, an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the
"Amendment") authorizing 30,000,000 shares of a new class of non-voting common
stock designated Class A Common Stock, and redesignating the Company's existing
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, as Class B Common Stock. The Class A
Common Stock has no voting rights except as may be required by Florida law. The
two classes of stock generally have the same economic rights, except Class A
Common Stock is entitled to cash dividends equal to at least 110% of any cash
dividends declared and paid on Class B Common Stock. In March 1996, the Company
issued 1.15 million shares of Class A Common Stock in an underwritten public
offering at $15.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company after underwriting
costs and other expenses of $1.2 million and $247,000, respectively, were $15.8
million. In April 1996 the underwriter exercised an overallotment option to
purchase an additional 161,803 shares of Class A Common Stock resulting in net
proceeds to the Company of $2.3 million. In March 1996, the Company contributed
$14.0 million of the net proceeds to the capital of BankAtlantic where it was
used for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds retained by the Company
are being used for general corporate purposes. As of result of the above Class A
Common Stock issuance BFC ownership in the Company's total outstanding (A and B)
common stock was approximately 41% at March 31, 1996, comprised of no shares of
Class A Common Stock and 46% of the Company's outstanding Class B Common Stock.
On April 6, 1984, BankAtlantic's stockholders approved a Stock Option Plan
("1984 Plan") under which options to purchase up to 557,031 shares of common
stock may be granted. The plan provided for the grant of both incentive stock
options and non-qualifying options. The exercise price of an incentive stock
option was not to be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of the grant. The exercise price of non-qualifying options was determined
by a committee of the Board of Directors. The "1984 Plan" has expired; however,
options granted under this plan are still outstanding.
On May 25, 1993, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 297,843
incentive stock options and 169,345 non-qualifying stock options under the 1984
plan. Of the incentive and non-qualifying stock options, 68,063 were issued at
110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The remaining incentive and
non-

qualifying stock options were issued at the fair market value at the date of
grant. Non-qualifying stock options for 35,938 shares were issued outside of the
Plan to non-employee directors. These options have similar terms and conditions
as non-qualifying options under the 1984 Plan.
On May 31, 1994, the stockholders of BankAtlantic approved the BankAtlantic
1994 Stock Option Plan ("1994 Plan"), authorizing the issuance of options to
acquire up to 937,500 shares of BankAtlantic's common stock. In accordance with
the Reorganization, all outstanding options under the 1984 Plan and 1994 Stock
Option Plan became the obligation of the Company as of July 13, 1994.
The following table sets forth all outstanding options, adjusted for the
June 1995 and January 1996 five for four common share stock splits effected in
the form of 25% stock dividends. All options related to BankAtlantic's current
Stock Option Plans are for the purchase of Class B Common Stock.

the 1984 Plan may currently be exercised and will expire in August 1996. At May
31, 1993, all issuable options under the 1984 Plan were outstanding and no
further options will be granted under the Plan.
On June 1, 1994, 284,470 of incentive stock options and 291,351 of
non-qualifying options were granted pursuant to the 1994 Stock Option Plan to
officers and directors of BankAtlantic. All the incentive and non-qualifying
stock options were issued at fair market value at the date of grant ($9.52) and
expire ten years from date of grant. All employee stock options vest and are
exercisable five years from the date of grant and directors stock options vested
immediately. On April 4, 1995, 81,960 of incentive stock options and 281,443 of
non-qualifying stock options were granted pursuant to the 1994 Stock Option Plan
to executives and directors of the Company. All the incentive and non-qualifying
stock options were issued at fair market value at the grant date ($9.76), expire

7,551 of incentive stock options issued under the 1984 Plan were exercised
resulting in increases of $881,000 and $301,000 in stockholders' equity,
respectively. The tax effect of the exercise of 1984 stock options for December
31, 1995 and 1994 was $173,000 and $35,000, respectively, and has been reflected
in additional paid in capital. During the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, 40,413 and 12,344 of options under the 1994 Plan and 1,499 and 8,984 of
options under the 1984 Plan expired. At December 31, 1995, 399,448 options from
the 1984 plan and zero from the 1994 plan were exercisable. At March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, 55,882 and 52,530 options were available for grant under
the 1994 Plan.
11. INCOME TAXES
For federal income tax purposes, BankAtlantic reports its income and
expenses on the accrual method of accounting. Savings institutions that meet
certain definitional tests and other conditions prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") relating primarily to the composition of their
assets and the nature of their business activities are, within certain
limitations, permitted to establish, and deduct additions to, reserves for bad
debts in amounts in excess of those which would otherwise be allowable on the
basis of actual loss experience. A qualifying savings institution may elect
annually, and is not bound by such election in any subsequent year, one of the
following two methods for computing additions to its bad debt reserves for
losses on "qualifying real property loans" (generally, loans secured by
interests in improved real property): (i) the experience method or (ii) the
percentage of taxable income method BankAtlantic has utilized both the
percentage of taxable income method and the experience method in computing the
tax-deductible addition to its bad debt reserves. Additions to the reserve for
losses on non-qualifying loans, however, must be computed under the experience
method and reduce the current year's addition to the reserve for losses on
qualifying real property loans, unless the qualifying addition also is
determined under the experience method. The sum of the addition to each reserve
for each year is BankAtlantic's annual bad debt deduction. If the percentage of
BankAtlantic's specified qualifying assets (generally, loans secured by
residential real estate or deposits, banker's acceptances, educational loans,
cash, government obligations and certain certificates of deposit) were to fall
below 60% of its total assets, BankAtlantic would not be eligible to claim
further bad debt reserve deductions, and would recapture into income all
previously accumulated bad debt reserves. As of December 31, 1995,
BankAtlantic's qualifying assets were in excess of 60% of total assets.
The experience method allows a savings institution to deduct the greater of
an amount based upon a six-year moving average of loan losses or an amount
determined with respect to its bad debt reserve for the "base year". The "base
year" is, for these purposes, the last taxable year beginning before 1988. From
1990 through 1993, BankAtlantic has utilized the experience method. For the tax
year ended December 31, 1994, BankAtlantic used the percentage of taxable income
method discussed below. For 1995, BankAtlantic anticipates using the experience
method.
Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt deduction
equals 8% of taxable income determined without regard to that deduction and with
certain adjustments. The percentage bad debt deduction thus computed is reduced
by the amount permitted as a deduction for the addition to the reserve for
losses on non-qualifying loans, which must be computed under the experience
method. The availability of the percentage of taxable income method permits
qualifying savings institutions to be taxed at a lower maximum effective federal
income tax rate than that applicable to corporations generally. The effective
maximum marginal federal income tax rate applicable to a qualifying savings
institution (exclusive of the alternative minimum tax), assuming the maximum
percentage bad debt deduction, is approximately 32.2%.
The percentage of taxable income method is available only to the extent
that amounts accumulated in reserves for losses on qualifying real property
loans do not exceed 6% of such loans at year-end. Use of this method is further
limited to the greater of (i) the amount which, when added to the amount
computed for the addition to the reserve for losses on non-qualifying loans,
equals the amount by which 12% of savings deposits or withdrawable accounts of
depositors at year-end exceeds the sum of surplus, undivided profits and
reserves
F-32

BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
at the beginning of the year or (ii) the amount determined under the experience
method. None of these limitations would have restricted the deduction for the
addition to the reserve for bad debts available to BankAtlantic for 1995 or
1994.
BankAtlantic is permitted under the Code to deduct an annual addition to a
reserve for bad debts in determining taxable income, subject to certain
limitations. To the extent that (i) a savings institution's reserve for losses
on qualifying real property loans exceeds the amount that would have been
allowed under the experience method and (ii) it makes distributions to
shareholders that are considered to result in withdrawals from that excess bad
debt reserve, then the amounts withdrawn will be included in its taxable income.
The amount considered to be withdrawn by a distribution will be the amount of
the distribution plus the amount necessary to pay the tax with respect to the
withdrawal. Dividends paid out of the savings institution's current or
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes,
will not be considered to result in withdrawals from its bad debt reserves.
Accordingly, purchases of its outstanding stock by BankAtlantic could result in
an increase in BankAtlantic's taxable income in the period such stock is
repurchased. The increase in taxable income would be the lesser of the amount
repurchased divided by the reciprocal of the income tax rate or at December 31,
1995 and 1994, a maximum of $10.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. If
BankAtlantic were not to qualify as a qualified savings association, as
discussed above, the entire tax bad debt reserve would be recaptured resulting
in a $15.4 million increase in taxable income at December 31, 1995 however, for
financial accounting purposes, an income tax provision for $7.1 million of the
$15.4 million has already been provided through December 31, 1995.
Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized on the base year tax bad debt
reserve unless it becomes apparent that the reserve will be reduced and result
in taxable income in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, BankAtlantic's base year tax bad debt reserve was $8.3 million, for which
no deferred income taxes have been provided. If BankAtlantic does not meet any
of the tests for a qualified savings association or repurchases stock as
discussed above, the base year bad debt reserve would be recaptured resulting in
an increase of $3.2 million in the provision for income taxes.
The provision for income taxes consisted of (in thousands):

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at January 1, 1993 was $2.4
million. The net decrease in the valuation allowance for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $972,000, $492,000 and $963,000,
respectively. The changes in the valuation allowance were due to management's
determination that, more likely than not, these portions of the valuation
allowance were not required. The valuation allowance at December 31, 1995 was
zero.
On August 12, 1993, President Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "Omnibus Act"). The most significant change
resulting from the Omnibus Act, as it relates to BankAtlantic, was to increase
the highest corporate rate from 34% to 35% retroactively to January 1, 1993.
The net operating loss ("NOL") and investment tax credits ("ITC")
carryovers acquired in connection with the acquisition of MegaBank were $878,000
and $48,000, respectively, upon acquisition. Due to IRS limitations, only
$784,000 of the NOL and none of the ITC will be utilized in 1995. The remaining
NOL and ITC are anticipated to be fully utilized in 1996. The utilization of
MegaBank's NOL and ITC are limited by regulations. Such utilization was assumed
at the date of acquisition of Mega Bank and resulted in an adjustment of cost
over fair value of assets acquired and does not affect the provision for income
taxes. The NOL will expire in 2010 and the ITC will expire in 1998 and 1999.
12. PENSION PLAN
BankAtlantic sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the
"Plan") covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on
years of service and the employee's average earnings received during the highest
five consecutive years out of the last ten years of employment. The funding
policy is to contribute an amount not less than the ERISA minimum funding
requirement nor more than the maximum tax-deductible amount under Internal
Revenue Service rules and regulations.
Plan assets consist of mutual funds, corporate equities and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
The following table sets forth the Plan's funded status and the prepaid
pension cost included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at:

</TABLE>
Actuarial assumptions for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
are projected based upon participant data at October 1 of the same year.
Actuarial estimates and assumptions are based on various market factors and are
evaluated on an annual basis, and changes in such assumptions may impact future
pension costs. Management believes that the impact, if any, of the difference
between actuarial assumptions utilized on October 1 and those appropriate at
December 31 is immaterial. There have been no changes in the Plan during the
year ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 that
would significantly effect the actuarial assumptions. During the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
BankAtlantic funded $125,000, $1.1 million and $490,000, respectively to the
Plan. No contributions were made to the Plan during the year ended December 31,
1993.
BankAtlantic sponsors a defined contribution plan ("401k Plan") for all
employees who have completed six months of service. Employees can contribute up
to 14% of their salary, not to exceed $9,500 for 1996, and $9,240 for 1995 and
1994 and $8,994 for 1993. For employees that fall within the highly compensated
criteria, maximum contributions are currently 10% of salary. Effective October
1991, BankAtlantic's 401k Plan was amended to include only a discretionary match
as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. In November 1993, the Board of
Directors declared discretionary matches in the aggregate amount of
approximately $60,000 to be paid during March 1994 to participants of record as
of December 31, 1993. Included in employee compensation and benefits on the
consolidated statement of operations was $75,000, $98,000 and $72,000 of
expenses and employer contributions related to the 401k Plan for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. For the year ended December 31,
1995, the Board of Directors declared a discretionary match of 15% of the first
4% of an employee's contribution. An additional 10% of the first 4% of an
employee's contribution related to meeting specific profit goals. For the year
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, participating employees were matched 15% and
25% of their first 4% of contributions totaling $75,000 and $117,000,
respectively.

Rental expense for premises and equipment was $500,000 and $424,000 and
$3.4 million, $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Included in other liabilities at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995
and 1994, is an allowance of $96,000, $110,000 and $219,000, respectively, for
future rental payments on closed branches. BankAtlantic purchased two branches
from unrelated financial institutions, opened three Florida west coast branches
and acquired five branches associated with the MegaBank acquisition during the
year ended December 31, 1995.
On August 18, 1994, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement with Wal-Mart
Stores to establish in-store full service branches at the Wal-Mart Stores
Supercenters. Four such branches on the west coast of Florida were opened during
1994 and 1995. Management has committed to seven additional in-store full
service branches, which are anticipated to open during the year ended December
31, 1996 and early 1997. The estimated annual lease payments are $174,400, other
annual expenses are $318,500, and estimated leasehold improvements and other
capitalizable costs associated with the seven branches to be opened during 1996
and 1997, will be approximately $1.4 million.
BankAtlantic signed an agreement dated April 29, 1994 with Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc., pursuant to which BankAtlantic placed ATMs in 151 Wal-Mart and Sam's Club
locations throughout Florida. These ATMs accept BankAtlantic ATM cards, as well
as bank cards, Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards that are compatible
with national and international Cirrus, Plus and Honor ATM systems.
On April 24, 1996, BankAtlantic signed a contract with M&I Data Services a
division of the Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, ("M&I") to provide data
processing services to BankAtlantic for seven years. The conversion to the M&I
service bureau is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1996. The
purpose of the conversion is to increase capacity as well as improve customer
service and operational effectiveness. The estimated annual expenses for the
service bureau are approximately $2.4 million. The Company anticipates that it
will be investing $2.1 million in technology upgrades, primarily computer
equipment.
During the ordinary course of business, BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries
are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various lawsuits. Management, based on
discussions with legal counsel, is of the opinion that no significant loss will
result from these actions.
In the normal course of its business, BankAtlantic is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, when it is deemed appropriate in order
to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments
include commitments to extend credit and standby and documentary letters of
credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk
in excess of the amount recognized in the

statement of financial position. BankAtlantic's exposure to credit loss in the
event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. BankAtlantic uses
the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were:

</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. BankAtlantic evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral required by
BankAtlantic in connection with an extension of credit is based on management's
credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include
first mortgages on commercial and residential real estate. As part of the
commitment for standby letters of credit, BankAtlantic is required to
collateralize 120% of the commitment balance with mortgage-backed securities. At
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, $4.0 million and $8.4 million of
mortgage-backed securities were pledged against the commitment balance.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by or
for the benefit of BankAtlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private
borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
BankAtlantic may hold certificates of deposit and residential and commercial
liens as collateral for such commitments which are collateralized similar to
other types of borrowings.
BankAtlantic is required to maintain average reserve balances with the
Federal Reserve Bank. Such reserves consisted of cash and amounts due from banks
of $23.7 million, $21.5 million and $17.5 million at March 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
BankAtlantic is a member of the FHLB system. As a member, BankAtlantic is
required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB of Atlanta, in amounts at least
equal to the greater of (i) 1% of its aggregate unpaid residential mortgage
loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each
year or (ii) 5% of its outstanding advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. As of
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, BankAtlantic was in compliance with this
requirement with an investment of approximately $8.9 million and $10.0 million,
respectively, in stock of the FHLB of Atlanta.
14. REGULATORY MATTERS
Savings institutions are subject to the provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), which was signed into
law on December 19, 1991. Regulations implementing the prompt corrective action
provisions of FDICIA became effective on December 19, 1992. In addition to the
prompt corrective action requirements, FDICIA includes significant changes to
the legal and
F-39
<PAGE> 140
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
regulatory environment for insured depository institutions, including reductions
in insurance coverage for certain kinds of deposits, increased supervision by
the federal regulatory agencies, increased reporting requirements for insured
institutions, and new regulations concerning internal controls, accounting and
operations.
The FDICIA requires financial institutions to take certain actions relating
to their internal operations, including: providing annual reports on financial
condition and management to the appropriate Federal banking regulators, having
an annual independent audit of financial statements performed by an independent
public accountant, and establishing an independent audit committee comprised
solely of outside directors. The FDICIA also imposes certain operational and
managerial standards on financial institutions relating to internal controls,
loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth
and compensation, fees, and benefits.
The prompt corrective action regulations define specific capital categories
based on an institution's capital ratios. The capital categories, in declining
order, are "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized", "undercapitalized",
"significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." Institutions
categorized as "undercapitalized" or worse are subject to certain restrictions,
including requirements to file a capital plan with the OTS, prohibitions on the
payment of dividends and management fees, restrictions on executive
compensation, and increased supervisory monitoring, among other things. Other
restrictions may be imposed on the institution either by the OTS or by the FDIC,
including requirements to raise additional capital, sell assets, or sell the
entire institution. Once an institution becomes "critically undercapitalized" it
is generally placed in receivership or conservatorship within 90 days.
To be considered "well capitalized," a savings institution must generally
have a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
at least 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. An
institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a tangible
equity ratio of 2% or less. Management believes that at March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, BankAtlantic met the definition of "well capitalized".
In August 1993, the OTS adopted a final rule incorporating an interest-rate
risk component into the risk-based capital regulation. Under the rule, an
institution with a greater than "normal" level of interest-rate risk will be
subject to a deduction of its interest-rate risk component from total capital
for purposes of calculating the risk-based capital requirement. As a result,
such an institution will be required to maintain additional capital in order to
comply with the risk-based capital requirement. An institution with a greater
than normal interest-rate risk is defined as an institution that would suffer a
loss of net portfolio value exceeding 2.0% of the estimated market value of its
assets in the event of a 200 basis point increase or decrease (with certain
minor exceptions) in interest rates. The interest-rate risk component is
calculated, on a quarterly basis, as one-half of the difference between an
institution's measured interest-rate risk, and 2.0% multiplied by the market
value of its assets. The rule also authorizes the director of the OTS, or his
designee, to waive or defer an institution's interest-rate risk component on a
case-by-case basis. The OTS implemented the interest-rate risk capital deduction
on June 30, 1995. However, in a letter dated March 20, 1995, the OTS stated no
institution would be required to deduct capital for interest rate risk or to
report such a deduction until guidance is issued describing the appeals process
for the deduction. The December 31, 1995 deduction would have been based on the
lesser of the March 1995, June 1995 or September 1995 interest rate risk
components, likewise the March 31, 1996 deduction would have been based on the
lesser of the June 1995, September 1995 and December 1995 interest rate risk
components. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, based on the above, no
interest rate risk deduction to capital would have been required.
Additionally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"),
which is the primary regulator for national banks has adopted a final rule
increasing the leverage ratio requirements for all but the most highly rated
national banks. Pursuant to Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act ("FIRREA"), the OTS is required to issue capital standards for
savings institutions that are no less stringent
F-40
<PAGE> 141
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
than those applicable to national banks. Accordingly, based on the OCC rule,
savings institutions would be required to maintain a leverage ratio (defined as
the ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets) of between 4% and 5%. If
this OCC rule was in effect for OTS regulated financial institutions at March
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, BankAtlantic would be in full compliance with
the requirements.
Effective July 1, 1995, any unrealized appreciation or depreciation of debt
securities available for sale included in capital calculated under Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") was excluded from regulatory capital.
The payment of dividends by BankAtlantic is limited by federal regulations.
Effective August 1, 1990, the OTS adopted a new regulation that limits all
capital distributions made by savings institutions, including cash dividends, by
permitting only certain institutions that meet specified capital levels to make
capital distributions without prior OTS approval. The regulation established a
three-tiered system, with the greatest flexibility afforded to well-capitalized
institutions. An institution that meets all of its fully phased-in capital
requirements and is not in need of more than normal supervision would be a "Tier
1 Institution". An institution that meets its minimum regulatory capital
requirements and is in need of more than normal supervision would be a "Tier 2
Institution". An institution that does not meet all of its minimum regulatory
capital requirements would be a "Tier 3 Institution". Upon prior notice to, and
non-objection by, the OTS a Tier 1 Institution may, after prior notice, but
without the approval of the OTS, make capital distributions (i) during the year
of up to 100% of net income earned to date during the current calendar year plus
50% of its capital surplus ("Surplus" being the amount of capital over its
capital requirement) or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent
four-quarter period. Any additional capital distributions would require prior
regulatory approval. A Tier 2 Institution may, after prior notice, but without
the approval of the OTS, make capital distributions of between 50% and 75% of
its net income over the most recent four-quarter period (less any dividends
previously paid during such four-quarter period) depending on how close the
institution is to its risk-based capital requirement. A Tier 3 Institution would
not be authorized to make any capital distributions without the prior approval
of the OTS. Notwithstanding the provision described above, the OTS also reserves
the right to object to the payment of a dividend on safety and soundness
grounds. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 BankAtlantic's capital exceeded
its fully phased-in capital requirements by approximately $60.5 million and
$42.1 million.
The 9% Debentures provides that the Company cannot declare or pay dividends
on, or purchase, redeem or acquire for value its capital stock, return any
capital to holders of capital stock as such, or make any distributions of assets
to holders of capital stock as such, unless, from and after the date of any such
dividend declaration (a "Declaration Date") or the date of any such purchase,
redemption, payment or distribution (a "Redemption Date"), the Company retains
cash, cash equivalents (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or marketable
securities (with a market value as measured on the applicable Declaration Date
or Redemption Date) in an amount sufficient to cover the two consecutive
semi-annual interest payments that will be due and payable on the 9% Debentures
following such Declaration Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be. The
Indenture further provides that the amount of any interest payment made by the
Company with respect to the 9% Debentures after any applicable Declaration Date
or Redemption Date shall be deducted from the aggregate amount of cash or cash
equivalents which the Company shall be required to retain pursuant to the
foregoing provision. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the Company
designated $1.9 million of Federal Agency investments to satisfy the above
provision.
The Company, by virtue of its ownership of all of the common stock of
BankAtlantic, is a unitary savings bank holding company subject to regulatory
oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to register with and be
subject to OTS examination, supervision and certain reporting requirements.
Further, as a company having a class of publicly held equity securities, the
Company is subject to the reporting and the other requirements of the Exchange
Act. In addition, 41% of the Company's (A and B) common stock is
F-41
<PAGE> 142
BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
owned by BFC at March 31, 1996 (46% at December 31, 1995) and, as such, BFC is
subject to the same oversight by the OTS as discussed herein with respect to the
Company.
The Home Owner's Loan Act ("HOLA") prohibits a savings bank holding company
from directly or indirectly acquiring control, including through an acquisition
by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, of any savings association (as
defined in Section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act) or any other savings
and loan or savings bank holding company, without prior OTS approval. In
considering whether to grant approval for any such transaction, the OTS will
take into consideration a number of factors, including the competitive effects
of the transaction, the financial and managerial resources and future prospects
of the holding company and its bank or thrift subsidiaries following the
transaction, and the compliance records of such subsidiaries with the Community
Reinvestment Act ("CRA"). Generally, a savings bank holding company may not
acquire more than 5% of the voting shares of any savings association unless by
merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, in each case subject to prior OTS
approval. A savings bank holding company may not acquire as a separate
subsidiary an insured institution which has its principal offices outside of the
state where the principal offices of its subsidiary institution is located,
except in the case of certain emergency acquisitions approved by the FDIC, or
when the laws of the state in which the insured institution to be acquired is
located specifically authorize such an acquisition. However, a savings bank
holding company may acquire up to 5% of the voting shares of any savings
association or savings bank holding company not a subsidiary thereof without
prior regulatory approval. Another provision of HOLA permits a savings bank
holding company to acquire up to 15% of the voting shares of certain
undercapitalized savings associations.
Federal law empowers the Director of the OTS to take substantive action
when it determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the
continuation by a savings bank holding company of any particular activity
constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of a
savings bank holding company's subsidiary savings institution. The Director of
the OTS has oversight authority for all holding company affiliates, not just the
insured institution. Specifically, the Director of the OTS may, as necessary,
(i) limit the payment of dividends by the savings institution; (ii) limit
transactions between the savings institution, the holding company and the
subsidiaries or affiliates of either; or (iii) limit any activities of the
savings institution that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the
holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings institution.
Any such limits would be issued in the form of a directive having the legal
effect of a cease and desist order.
The Company will remain a unitary savings bank holding company under
applicable law until it acquires as a separate subsidiary another savings
institution. A savings bank holding company whose sole subsidiary qualifies as a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL"), described below, generally has the broadest
authority to engage in various types of business activities with little to no
restrictions on its activities, except that historically savings bank holding
companies have not been permitted to acquire or be acquired by an entity engaged
in securities underwriting or market making. A holding company that acquires
another institution and maintains it as a separate subsidiary or whose sole
subsidiary fails to meet the QTL test will become subject to the activities
limitations applicable to multiple savings bank holding companies. In general, a
multiple savings bank holding company (or subsidiary thereof that is not an
insured institution) may not commence, or continue for more than a limited
period of time after becoming a multiple savings bank holding company (or a
subsidiary thereof), any business activity other than (i) furnishing or
performing management services for a subsidiary insured institution; (ii)
conducting an insurance agency or an escrow business; (iii) holding, managing or
liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary insured institution;
(iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary insured
institution; (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust; (vi) those activities
previously directly authorized by the OTS by regulation as of March 5, 1987 to
be engaged in by multiple savings bank holding companies; or (vii) subject to
prior approval of the OTS, those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve
Board ("FRB") as permissible investments for bank holding companies. These
restrictions do not apply to a multiple savings bank holding company if (a) all,
or all but
F-42

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
one, of its insured institution subsidiaries were acquired in emergency thrift
acquisitions or assisted acquisitions and (b) all of its insured institution
subsidiaries are QTLs.
BankAtlantic is subject to restrictions in its dealings with the Company
and any other companies that are "affiliates" of the Company under HOLA, and
certain provisions of the Federal Reserve Act ("FRA") that are made applicable
to savings institutions by FIRREA and OTS regulations.
On August 8, 1995, the FDIC established a reduced deposit insurance
assessment rate schedule of 4 to 31 basis points ($.04 to $.31 for every $100 of
assessable deposits) for BIF members retroactive to May 1995. The FDIC further
reduced the premiums applicable to BIF deposits, effective January 1, 1996, to a
minimum flat fee of $2,000 to a maximum assessment of 27 basis points. Under the
new assessment rate schedule, approximately 92% of BIF members will pay only the
minimum fee while SAIF members retain the existing assessment rate schedule of
23 to 31 basis points. BankAtlantic pays deposit insurance premiums primarily to
the SAIF and secondarily, to the BIF in connection with the deposits it acquire
as a result of the acquisition of MegaBank. At March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995, BankAtlantic had approximately $135 million of deposits subject to BIF
premiums and $1.2 billion subject to SAIF premiums.
The disparity in insurance premiums between those required for financial
institutions with all or primarily SAIF insured deposits and those with all or
primarily BIF deposits generally allows BIF members to attract and retain
deposits at a lower effective cost. The resulting competitive disadvantage could
also result in BankAtlantic having to raise its deposit rates to remain
competitive or lose deposits to BIF members who may decide to pay higher rates
of interest on deposits because of the lower deposit insurance premiums.
Although BankAtlantic has other sources of funds, such sources may be more
costly than the cost of deposits.
Several alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF premium
disparity have recently been proposed by the U.S. Congress, federal regulators,
industry lobbyists and the Clinton Administration. One plan to recapitalize the
SAIF that has gained support of several sponsors would require all SAIF member
institutions, including BankAtlantic, to pay a one-time fee of approximately 85
basis points on the amount of deposits held by the member institution, at March
31, 1995. This fee would amount to approximately $6.1 million on an after tax
basis to BankAtlantic. In addition, BNA is also subject to the proposed one-time
fee since all of its deposits are SAIF-insured deposits; however, management
believes that the assessment would be reduced by 20% based on BNA's status as a
"de novo sasser bank" as defined by the proposed legislation. The fee associated
with BNA's SAIF-insured deposits would amount to approximately $1.8 million on
an after tax basis. The Company is unable to predict whether this proposal or
any similar proposal will be enacted or whether ongoing SAIF premiums will be
reduced to a level equal to that of BIF premiums. If this proposal is enacted
into law, the effect would be to immediately reduce the capital of the
SAIF-member institutions by the amount of the fee, and such amount would most
likely be an immediate charge to earnings.
15. SUBJECT PORTFOLIO
From 1987 through 1990, BankAtlantic purchased in excess of $50 million of
indirect home improvement loans from certain dealers, primarily in the
northeastern United States. BankAtlantic ceased purchasing loans from such
dealers in the latter part of 1990. These dealers are affiliated with each other
but are not affiliated with BankAtlantic. In connection with loans originated
through these dealers, BankAtlantic funded amounts to the dealers as a dealer
reserve. Such loans and related dealer reserves are hereafter referred to as the
"Subject Portfolio." The risk of amounts advanced to the dealers is primarily
associated with loan performance but secondarily is dependent on the financial
condition of the dealers. The dealers were to be responsible to BankAtlantic for
the amount of the reserve only if the loan giving rise to the reserve became
delinquent or was prepaid. One of the dealers filed for protection under the
bankruptcy laws of the United States, while the other dealers have not indicated
any financial ability to meet any obligation relating to the dealer reserve.
F-43

BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
In late 1990, questions arose relating to the practices and procedures used
in the origination and underwriting of the Subject Portfolio, which suggested
that the dealers, certain home improvement contractors and borrowers, together
with certain former employees of BankAtlantic, engaged in practices intended to
defraud BankAtlantic. Due to these questions and potential exposure,
BankAtlantic performed, and continues to perform, certain investigations,
notified appropriate regulatory and law enforcement agencies, and notified its
fidelity bond carrier (the "carrier"). After an initial review and discussions
with the carrier, BankAtlantic concluded that any losses sustained from the
Subject Portfolio would adequately be covered by its fidelity bond coverage and,
in fact, on August 13, 1991, the carrier advanced $1.5 million against
BankAtlantic's losses. This payment and other payments by the carrier were
subject to identification and confirmation of the losses which were
appropriately covered under the fidelity bond.
Subsequently, commencing in September, 1991, as a consequence of issues
raised by the carrier, BankAtlantic reviewed the Subject Portfolio without
regard to the availability of any fidelity bond coverage. As a result of the
review, the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 1991 was
increased by approximately $5.7 million, approximately $5.5 million of loans
were charged off, and $2.7 million of dealer reserves were charged to current
operations. On December 20, 1991, the carrier denied coverage and BankAtlantic
thereafter filed an appropriate action against the carrier. On October 30, 1992,
BankAtlantic and the carrier entered into the Covenant. Pursuant to the
Covenant, BankAtlantic will continue to pursue its litigation against the
carrier, but has agreed to limit execution on any judgment obtained against the
carrier to $18 million. Further, BankAtlantic agreed to join certain third
parties as defendants in that action. The carrier paid BankAtlantic $6.1 million
during the fourth quarter of 1992, $3 million in November 1993, and an
additional $2.9 million in November 1994. Such amounts related to losses and
expenses previously charged to operations by BankAtlantic. Additional
reimbursements have been made on a quarterly reporting basis commencing with the
period ended December 31, 1992. Reimbursable amounts are as defined in the
Covenant. Based upon such definitions BankAtlantic recorded estimated charges to
operations in advance of when such charges became reimbursable. Amounts
reimbursed were reflected in the period for which the reimbursement is related.
Through December 31, 1995 and 1994, the carrier paid or committed to pay
approximately $18.0 million and $17.9 million, respectively. The financial
statement effect of the Covenant for the fourth quarter and year ended December
31, 1992 was to reduce expenses by $3.3 million, increase interest income by
$1.9 million and to record $7.3 million of loan loss recoveries. Included in
other assets at December 31, 1994 was $594,000 due from the carrier but no
amounts were due from the carrier at March 31, 1996 or December 31, 1995. In no
event will the carrier be obligated to pay BankAtlantic in the aggregate more
than $18 million, which amount has been fully paid. However, in the event of
recovery by BankAtlantic of damages from third party wrongdoers, BankAtlantic
will be entitled to retain such amounts until such amounts, plus any payments
received from the carrier, equal $22 million. Thereafter, the carrier will be
entitled to any such recoveries to the extent of its payments to BankAtlantic.
To the extent that BankAtlantic incurs losses in excess of $18 million plus
available recoveries from third parties, BankAtlantic will be required to absorb
any such losses. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the remaining amount
of reimbursement available from the carrier was approximately zero, and such
amount was approximately $120,000 at December 31, 1994. BankAtlantic also agreed
to exercise reasonable collection activities with regard to the Subject
Portfolio and to provide the carrier with a credit for any recoveries with
respect to such loans against future losses that the carrier would otherwise be
obligated to reimburse. The carrier has no further obligations for
reimbursement. In August 1994, BankAtlantic filed an action against the dealers,
certain home improvement contractors, and various individuals seeking
compensatory and other damages. On February 17, 1995, the United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of New York and the Assistant Attorney General, Tax
Division, United States Department of Justice, announced that the President of
the dealers noted above had pleaded guilty to bank fraud, bribery and tax fraud
conspiracy charges. The guilty plea states that BankAtlantic was one of the
financial institutions which was defrauded by the dealers and various home
improvement contractors.

BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Three actions have been filed, two in New Jersey and one in New York,
relating to the Subject Portfolio. One of the New Jersey actions was brought on
behalf of the State of New Jersey and the others purport to be class actions on
behalf of named and unnamed plaintiffs that may have obtained loans from dealers
who subsequently sold the loans to financial institutions including
BankAtlantic. Each of the New Jersey actions seek civil remedies against certain
contractors and a named dealer and also seeks to cancel or modify certain
mortgage loans. Although BankAtlantic was not a named party in the State of New
Jersey action, it sought to protect its interest in certain loans and entered
into an Alternative Dispute Resolution Agreement (the "ADR") with the state of
New Jersey. The ADR established procedures for determining whether certain
consumers were entitled to relief under the terms of their loans. Pursuant to
the ADR, BankAtlantic offered relief to certain consumers in the form of reduced
future interest rates, or reductions or forgiveness of principal. As part of the
ADR, the State of New Jersey agreed not to seek rescission of any of the
mortgage loans held by BankAtlantic. The ADR was completed in 1995 and
BankAtlantic obtained a release from the State of New Jersey for any claims
relating to the mortgage loans. The second New Jersey action was commenced
immediately after completion of the ADR. The New York and New Jersey actions,
which were brought against over 25 parties, including BankAtlantic, purport to
be class actions on behalf of named and unnamed plaintiffs that may have
obtained loans from dealers who subsequently sold the loans to financial
institutions including BankAtlantic. Both the remaining New Jersey action and
the New York action seek, among other things, rescission of the loan agreements
and damages. In November 1995, the court in the second New Jersey action entered
an order dismissing the complaint against BankAtlantic; plaintiffs appealed this
ruling. In January 1996, the Appellate Court reversed the lower court's decision
and remanded the case back to trial court to determine whether the action may be
maintained as a class action. The reversal was without prejudice to
BankAtlantic's right to renew their summary judgment motion after the trial
court has made a determination as to plaintiff's ability to maintain this case
as a class action. In October 1995, the court in the New York action
preliminarily approved a settlement proposed by the parties pursuant to which
members of the class who timely file a proof of claim would be entitled to
relief in the form of reduced future interest rates and reductions of principal.
The settlement, as presently structured, will have no significant impact on
BankAtlantic's financial condition or results of operations.
The balance of the loans associated with the Subject Portfolio amounted to
approximately $13.0 million, $14.2 million and $18.7 million at March 31, 1996,
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The related dealer reserve had been
completely charged-off by December 31, 1993. Charge-offs relating to the Subject
Portfolio amounted to $278,000 and $340,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively, and $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $972,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. All 1994 and 1993
charge-offs were recovered from the carrier while no charged-off amounts were
recovered from the carrier in 1995 and 1996. At December 31, 1995, 10% of the
loans were secured by collateral in South Florida and 90% were secured by
collateral in the northeastern United States. Collateral for these loans is
generally a second mortgage on the borrower's property. However, it appears that
in most cases the property is encumbered with loans having high loan to value
ratios. Loans in the Subject Portfolio are charged-off if payments are more than
90 days delinquent. While management believes that established reserves will be
adequate to cover any additional losses that BankAtlantic may incur from the
Subject Portfolio or the above described litigation, there is no assurance that
this will be the case.

18. OTHER INFORMATION
As further discussed in Note 10, BFC increased its common stock ownership
in BankAtlantic to 77.83% at June 30, 1993 and subsequently, in November 1993,
sold 2.18 million shares of BankAtlantic common stock to decrease their
ownership percentage to 48.17% at December 31, 1993. Upon consummation of the
Reorganization on July 13, 1994, BFC owned 48.07% of the Company's common stock
and 5,600, 529 and 7,245 shares of the Company's Series A, B and C preferred
stock, respectively. Such ownership was obtained through open market purchases
and represented approximately 2.97%, 3.09% and 5.59% of the Company's Series A,
B and C preferred stock, respectively. Such preferred stock was redeemed on
October 7, 1995. The exercise of the stock warrants and various exercises of
employee stock options reduced BFC's ownership percentage to 46.03% at December
31, 1995. The issuance of Class A non-voting stock reduced BFC's ownership
percentage in the Company's common stock to 41%, although BFC still owns 46% of
the Company's Class B voting stock.
Alan B. Levan, serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
BankAtlantic, the Company and BFC. John E. Abdo is the Vice Chairman of
BankAtlantic, the Company.
On April 9, 1996, BankAtlantic, entered into an agreement to acquire Bank
of North America Bancorp, Inc. ("BNAB") for approximately $54 million in cash.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase for financial reporting
purposes. BNAB's primary asset is its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of North
America ("BNA"), a Florida chartered commercial bank. BNA has 13 branches, with
11 located in Broward county,
F-50

BANKATLANTIC BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
one in Dade county and one in Palm Beach county. Closing of the acquisition is
expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 1996, subject to certain conditions
including receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
19. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The information set forth below provides disclosure of the estimated fair
value of BankAtlantic's financial instruments presented in accordance with the
requirements of Statement. No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" ("FAS 107") issued by the FASB.
Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes
to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these
financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair
value presented would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.
BankAtlantic'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.
Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by category such as commercial, commercial
real estate, residential mortgage, second mortgages, and other installment. Each
loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms
and by performing and non-performing categories.
The fair value of performing loans, except residential mortgage and
adjustable rate loans, is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through
the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the
credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of average
maturity is based on BankAtlantic's historical experience with prepayments for
each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of
current economic and lending conditions. For performing residential mortgage
loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted
for national historical prepayment estimates using discount rates based on
secondary market sources adjusted to reflect differences in servicing and credit
costs.
For adjustable rate loans, the fair value is estimated at book value after
adjusting for credit risk inherent in the loan. BankAtlantic's interest rate
risk is considered insignificant since the majority of BankAtlantic's adjustable
rate loans are based on prime rates or one year Constant Maturity Treasuries
("CMT") rates and adjust monthly or generally not greater than one year.
Fair values of non-performing loans are based on the assumption that
non-performing loans are on a non-accrual status discounted at market rates
during a 24 month work-out period. Assumptions regarding credit risk are
judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower
information.
The book value of tax certificates approximates market value. Fair value of
mortgage-backed and investment securities is estimated based on bid prices
available from security dealers. Estimated cash flows of securities were based
on BankAtlantic's historical experience, modified by current economic
conditions.
Fair value of mortgage-backed securities is estimated based on bid prices
available from security dealers.
Under FAS 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market
and checking accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at December 31,
1995 and 1994.
The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value
of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using alternative
borrowing rates adjusted for maintenance and insurance costs.
The book value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and note
payable approximates fair value.

20. ACQUISITION OF MEGABANK
On February 7, 1995, BankAtlantic completed an agreement and plan of merger
with MegaBank, a Miami-based commercial bank, providing for the acquisition of
MegaBank by BankAtlantic for $21 million in cash, of which $900,000 was paid to
the former Chief Executive Officer of MegaBank in connection with a
non-competition agreement. MegaBank had assets of approximately $152 million.
The MegaBank acquisition added 5 branches to BankAtlantic's branch network.
The MegaBank acquisition, accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting, was effective for financial statement purposes as of February 1,
1995. The results of operations include MegaBank since February 1, 1995. Funds
for this acquisition were obtained from traditional sources. Interest expense of
$34,000 was imputed on the purchase price for the period of February 1, 1995
(effective date) through February 17, 1995 (merger date). The net cash utilized
in the purchase is summarized on the following page. Pro forma results would not
have differed significantly from actual operations if the acquisition had
occurred on January 1, 1995.

Adjustments to fair value are being amortized on a straight-line basis,
which approximates the level yield method, over the estimated average term of
three years for loans and investments, and one year for deposits. Cost over fair
value of net assets acquired does not qualify for amortization for tax purposes.
Costs over fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The cost over
fair value of net assets acquired as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is
$10.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively. The $900,000 non-competition
agreement is considered an intangible asset for tax purposes and amortized
ratably over 15 years. At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the non-
competition agreement balance was $626,000 and $696,000, respectively. The
agreement is being amortized

BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
1. POTENTIAL SALE TO BANKATLANTIC, A FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK ("BANKATLANTIC").
On April 9, 1996 Bank Atlantic entered into an agreement to acquire Bank of
North America Bancorp, Inc. ("BNAB") for approximately $54 million in cash.
BankAtlantic is a wholly owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., a
unitary savings bank holding company. BNAB's primary asset is its wholly owned
subsidiary, Bank of North America ("BNA"), a Florida chartered commercial bank.
BNA has 13 branches, with 11 located in Broward County, and one each in Dade and
Palm Beach counties.
Closing of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions including
receipt of all required regulatory approvals and is expected to occur in the
fourth quarter of 1996.
2. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION.
The accompanying unaudited financial information does not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. However, the information furnished reflects all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments
were of a normal and recurring nature.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 ("FAS 121") which requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held by an entity be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
FAS 121 is effective as of January 1, 1996, prospectively. BNAB believes
that the adoption of this pronouncements did not have a significant impact on
its results of operations or financial position.
3. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS.
In May 1995 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
122 ("FAS 122") which eliminated the accounting distinction between rights to
service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan origination
activities and those acquired through purchase transactions. FAS 122 requires an
entity to recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
others, however those servicing rights are acquired. FAS 122 requires the
periodic evaluation of capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment
based on fair value. On January 1, 1996, this statement was implemented
prospectively. The initial valuation of mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") are on
an individual loan basis. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, BNAB did
not capitalize any MSR's. Amortization of MSR's amounted to $97,000 and $73,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. MSR's are
amortized to expense using the level yield over the estimated life of the loan
and continually adjusted for prepayments. The fair value of capitalized mortgage
servicing rights at March 31, 1996 was estimated at $6.6 million. For the
purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment of MSR's, BNAB stratifies those
rights based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans.
Upon implementation of FAS 122, no additional valuation allowance was required.
Adjustments to the valuation allowance will be reflected in operations.
4. SALE OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES.
During the month of April 1996, BNAB sold substantially all of its
investment securities, resulting in a realized loss of $1.8 million net of
applicable income taxes. Proceeds from the sale of approximately $103 million
were used as follows: (a) $22 million to increase cash and cash equivalents; (b)
$66 million to purchase U.S. Treasury securities with remaining maturities not
exceeding two years; (c) $15 million to fund loan originations and to repay
borrowings.

BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bank of North
America Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary Bank of North
America ("the Bank"), and two non-bank subsidiaries. Bank of North America is a
state-chartered commercial bank with offices in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach
Counties, Florida. The two non-bank subsidiaries are inactive. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices within the
banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management
is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of
financial condition and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are
particularly susceptible to significant change in the next year relate to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of foreclosed
real estate, and the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks, interest-bearing
balances with banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under
agreements to resell. Cash and cash equivalents have maturities, at acquisition
date, of three months or less.
(d) Securities
The Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity (SFAS
No. 115) at December 31, 1993. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115, all securities
previously classified as held for sale were designated as available for sale.
The adoption of SFAS No. 115 resulted in an increase in the carrying value of
investment securities available for sale of $105,175 and a corresponding
increase in stockholder's equity of $65,598 and in deferred tax liability of
$39,577.
Under SFAS No. 115 the Bank classifies its debt and equity securities in
one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.
Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling
them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which
the Bank has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All
other securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale.
Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the
amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Unrealized holding gains and
losses on trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains
and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are
excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholder's
equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-
for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a reduction
in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a
new cost basis for the security is established. Premiums and discounts are
amortized
F-65
<PAGE> 166
BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield
using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized
when earned.
On November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Special Report No. 155-B, A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (the "Special
Report"). Pursuant to the Special Report, the Bank was permitted to conduct a
one-time reassessment of the classifications of all securities held at that
time. Any reclassifications from the held-to-maturity category made in
conjunction with that reassessment would not call into question an enterprises'
intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.
The Bank undertook such a reassessment and, effective November 30, 1995,
all securities then classified as held-to-maturity were reclassified as
available for sale. On the effective date of the reclassification, the
securities transferred had a carrying value of $108,249,000 and an estimated
fair value of $107,211,000, resulting in a net reduction to stockholder's equity
for the net unrealized loss of $647,000, after deducting applicable income taxes
of $391,000.
(e) Loan Purchases, Securitization and Sales
Loans are stated at the unpaid principal balance net of unearned income and
discounts and allowance for loan losses plus prepaid dealer reserves. Loan
packages of primarily one to four family residential loans have been acquired
through Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and Resolution Trust
Corporation ("RTC") loan offerings and in private transactions. The purchase
price of these loans is determined based upon factors such as credit quality,
the type of loan product being offered and inherent market conditions at the
time of purchase. Upon the purchase of these loan packages, an allocation of the
purchase price is made among the allowance for loan losses and purchased
discount or premium.
The amount allocated to the allowance for loan losses is based on an
evaluation of the estimated discounted credit losses to be incurred for the
loans purchased. When loans are sold, gains or losses resulting from such sales
are measured by using the cost basis allocated to such loans at the time of
purchase, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Specific allowances for loan losses, which are identified as part of loans being
sold, are included as part of the cost basis of such loans at time of sale. This
cost allocation methodology is also utilized for purchased loans which are
securitized.
Effective December 31, 1994, a comprehensive evaluation was made of the
allowance for loan losses originally established during 1993, 1992 and 1991
related to purchased one to four family residential loans. As a result of this
evaluation, which included a review of historical losses on the purchased loans,
the original estimates were revised. The effect of this change in estimate was
to reduce the allowance for loan losses on purchased loans and to increase net
unearned purchased discounts and premiums by $2,400,000. Beginning in 1995, the
increased net unearned purchased discount was amortized as an adjustment to the
related loans' yield over the estimated remaining lives of those loans.
The Bank classifies loans which it intends to sell or securitize and sell
as loans held for sale. These loans are carried at the aggregate of lower of
cost or market. At December 31, 1995, loans held for sale consisted of
originated residential loans. At December 31, 1994 loans held for sale consisted
of purchased consumer loans with a carrying value of approximately $25.8
million, and originated residential loans.
(f) Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and
decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation
of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that
may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any
underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Management believes that
the allowance for loan losses is adequate; however, regulatory agencies, as an
F-66
<PAGE> 167
BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance
for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the recognition of additions or
reductions to the allowance based on their judgement of information available at
the time of their examination.
The Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended
by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income
Recognition and Disclosure, ("SFAS No. 114") on January 1, 1995. The provisions
of SFAS No. 114 did not have a significant impact on financial condition or
results of operations upon adoption. Management, considering current information
and events regarding the borrowers ability to repay their obligations, considers
a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the
impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or at the fair value of
collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Impairment losses and changes
in estimates to the impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan
losses through a provision for loan losses. The Bank recognizes interest income
on impaired loans on a cash basis. Prior periods have not been restated.
(g) Loan Interest Income Recognition
Interest income on commercial and real estate mortgage loans is recognized
as earned based upon the principal amounts outstanding. Interest income on
installment loans is recognized using a method which approximates the interest
method. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes that
interest on such loans may not be collected in the normal course of business or
when the loans become ninety days delinquent, whichever is earlier. Premiums and
discounts on purchased loans are amortized or accreted using the level yield
method.
(h) Loan Fees
Loan origination, prepaid dealer reserves, certain other fees and certain
direct loan origination costs are being deferred and the net amount is being
amortized as an adjustment to the related loan's yield, generally over the
contractual life of the related loans, or if the related loan is held for sale,
until the loan is sold. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are
deferred until the loan is advanced and are then recognized over the term of the
loan as an adjustment of the yield. Fees on commitments that expire unused are
recognized in other non-interest income at expiration.
(i) Mortgage Loan Servicing Rights
The Bank services mortgage loans for investors. These mortgage loans
serviced are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition. Loan servicing fees are based on a stipulated percentage of
the outstanding loan principal balances being serviced and are recognized as
income when related loan payments from mortgagors are collected. Loan servicing
costs are charged to expense using the level yield method over the estimated
life of the loan, and continually adjusted for prepayments. Management evaluates
the carrying value of purchased mortgage servicing rights by estimating the
future net servicing income of the portfolio on a discounted basis, based on
estimates of the remaining loan lives.
In May 1995 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, ("SFAS No. 122") which would
eliminate the accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans
for others that are acquired through loan origination activities and those
acquired through purchase transactions. SFAS No. 122 requires an entity to
recognize rights to service mortgage loans for others or rights to service
mortgage loans originated as separate assets, however acquired, for transactions
in which the Bank has sold the loan and retained the servicing rights. This
statement is to be
F-67
<PAGE> 168
BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
applied prospectively effective on January 1, 1996. Retroactive application is
prohibited. Upon adoption, SFAS No. 122 is not expected to have a material
effect on results of operations or financial condition.
(j) Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Bank premises, furniture and equipment, and
leasehold improvements are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization, computed principally by the straight-line method.
(k) Income Taxes
The operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries are included in
consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Each subsidiary pays its
allocation of income taxes to the Company, or receives payment from the Company
to the extent that tax benefits are realized based on amounts computed as if
each subsidiary was an individual company.
Effective January 1, 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, ("SFAS No. 109") was adopted prospectively.
The adoption of SFAS No. 109 changes the method of accounting for income taxes
from the deferred method to an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are
required to be reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that, based on the
weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will not be realized.
The adoption of SFAS No. 109 on January 1, 1993 did not have a significant
impact on financial condition or results of operations.
(l) Other Intangible Assets
Excess cost over fair value of assets acquired of $82,283 and $123,983 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is amortized on a straight-line basis
over a seven year period . Remaining core deposit premium of $121,768 and
$180,268 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is being amortized over
its estimated remaining economic life of approximately 2 years at December 31,
1995.
(m) Foreclosed Real Estate
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are
initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure establishing a new
cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by
management and the real estate is carried at the lower of (1) cost or (2) fair
value minus estimated costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and
adjustments of the fair value are included in earnings. Foreclosed real estate
is not depreciated.
(n) Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform with
financial statement presentations for 1995.

Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities will differ from
contractual maturities since borrowers generally have the right to prepay
obligations without penalty. The maturity distribution of mortgage-backed
securities is based on their expected maturities based on information available
at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Gross gains resulting from the disposition of securities available for sale
amounted to $211,036, $25,006, and $1,196,882 during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Gross losses amounted to $74,105 during 1995. There were no losses
on securities available for sale during 1994 or 1993.
Investment securities with carrying values of $607,617 and $610,172 were
pledged as required by government regulation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. In addition, at December 31, 1995 and

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $3,914,000 and $3,989,000,
respectively, of loans were on non-accrual status. Interest related to
non-accrual loans, determined in accordance with the original contractual terms
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, amounted to approximately
$307,000, $343,000 and $531,000, respectively. Interest collected on such loans
and included in the results of operations during 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to
approximately $211,000, $133,000 and $314,000, respectively.
The Bank adopted SFAS No. 114 effective January 1, 1995. All loans on
non-accrual status are considered to be impaired loans for purposes of SFAS No.
114. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's recorded investment in impaired loans was
approximately $3.9 million. Of the total impaired loans, approximately $2.0
million in principal balance had related specific allowance for loan losses of
approximately $753,000. Average impaired loans for 1995 were approximately $3.4
million.

</TABLE>
The Bank has been advised by the FHLB that it has a total credit
availability of $100 million with maturities of up to 10 years. The FHLB credit
availability does not represent a firm commitment by the FHLB. Rather, it is the
FHLB's assessment of what the Bank could borrow given the Bank's current
financial condition. The credit availability is subject to change at any time
based upon the Bank's financial condition and that of the FHLB, as well as
changes in FHLB policies or Congressional mandates. At December 31, 1995, the
Bank's available credit from the FHLB was $80 million.
In connection with its borrowings from the FHLB, the Bank is required to
own FHLB stock with a par value equal to at least five percent of total advances
outstanding. At December 31, 1995, the Bank's investment in FHLB stock had a par
and carrying value of $2,775,000, and was automatically pledged against FHLB
advances. Advances from the FHLB are secured by eligible investment securities
or first mortgage loans. Generally, short-term FHLB advances are secured by
pledging and delivering specific investment security collateral under terms and
at rates comparable to those available in the repurchase agreement market. All
other FHLB advances are secured by a blanket floating lien on the Bank's
residential, one-to-four family first mortgage loans. For advances secured by
the blanket floating lien, the Bank is not required to specifically identify,
deliver, or otherwise segregate first mortgage loans pledged as collateral for
advances, but must maintain eligible first mortgage loan collateral equal to
approximately 133% of outstanding advances, or approximately $27 million at
December 31, 1995.

10. CREDIT COMMITMENTS
The Bank has outstanding at any time a significant number of commitments to
extend credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer
as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan
commitment contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each
customer's credit worthiness is evaluated on an individual basis and the amount
of collateral required, if deemed necessary, is based on management's credit
evaluation. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were approximately $39.6
million and $34.4 million, respectively of commitments to extend credit,
generally with terms of up to 90 days. Commitments at December 31, 1995 and 1994
include approximately $5.8 million and $12.4 million in fixed rate commitments,
respectively.
F-75
<PAGE> 176
BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Loan commitments have off-balance-sheet credit risk because only
origination fees and accruals for probable losses are recognized in the
statement of financial position until the commitments are fulfilled. Credit risk
represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if
counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted. The credit risk
amounts are equal to the contractual amounts, assuming that the amounts are
fully advanced and that the collateral or other security is of no value.
The Bank's policy with regard to collateral-dependent loans is to require
customers to provide collateral prior to the disbursement of approved loans. For
consumer loans, the Bank usually retains a security interest in the property or
products financed, which provides repossession rights in the event of default by
the customer. For commercial loans and financial guarantees, collateral is
usually in the form of inventory or marketable securities (held in trust) or
real estate (notations on title).
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At December 31, 1995
and 1994, there were approximately $2.2 million and $574,000, respectively, of
standby letters of credit outstanding with maturities of up to one year. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds
certificates of deposit as collateral supporting those commitments for which
collateral is deemed necessary. The extent of collateral held for those
commitments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 varies from unsecured to 100 percent.
The Bank has not incurred any losses on its commitments in either 1995 or
1994.
11. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) arising
from financial instruments exist in relation to certain groups of customers. A
group concentration arises when a number of customers have similar economic
characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations
to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Bank
does not have a significant exposure to any individual customer. The major
concentrations of credit risk for the Bank arise by customer type in relation to
loans and credit commitments, as shown in the following table. A geographic
concentration arises because the Bank operates primarily in Florida, where a
majority of loan customers and related collateral are located.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
be of no value. The Bank has experienced little difficulty in accessing
collateral when required. The amounts of credit risk shown, therefore, greatly
exceed expected losses, which are included in the allowance for loan losses.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Bank is
involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. The outcome of these claims and actions are not presently
determinable, however, in the opinion of the Bank's management, after consulting
with their legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of the legal structure of its acquisitions, the Bank pays deposit
insurance premiums to the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").
The majority of commercial banks pay such premiums to the FDIC's Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF"). The SAIF and the BIF previously assessed deposit insurance
premiums at the same rate. However, effective September 30, 1995, the FDIC
reduced the minimum assessment rate applicable to BIF deposits, but not SAIF
deposits, from 23 basis points of covered deposits to four basis points of
covered deposits and will further reduce the BIF rate to zero effective January
1, 1996. This disparity in assessment rates may place the Bank at a competitive
disadvantage to institutions whose deposits are exclusively or primarily
BIF-insured (such as most commercial banks). Congress has proposed legislation
intended to recapitalize the SAIF and substantially bridge the assessment rate
disparity. As currently drafted, the Bank believes that it would be subject to a
one-time assessment estimated to be 80 basis points of covered deposits as of
March 31, 1995 and would subsequently pay a substantially reduced assessment
rate. Further, the Bank believes that the assessment would be reduced by 20%
based on the Bank's status as a "de novo sasser bank", as defined by the
proposed legislation. Should this legislation be enacted in its current form,
the Bank believes that its one-time assessment would result in a pre-tax charge
of $2.8 million and would be payable within 60 days after enactment of the
legislation. There is no assurance, however, that the proposed legislation, or
any other related legislation, will be enacted. Further, the legislation could
be materially modified prior to enactment. Accordingly, no provision has been
made in these financial statements for the proposed one-time assessment.
13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Bank sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) retirement savings plan
("Plan"). The Plan provides for certain contributions made by employees to be
matched by the Bank. Substantially all full-time employees with one year of
service can participate in the Plan. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, Bank
contributions to the Plan and Plan administrative expenses paid by the Bank
amounted to approximately $122,000, $109,000, and $123,000 respectively.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Bank is a party to a loan subservicing agreement with a mortgage
servicing company owned by the Company's stockholder ("Loan Servicer"). The
agreement is under market terms and conditions and covers subservicing of one to
four family residential loans which the Bank owns or for which the Bank has
purchased servicing rights. The agreement can be cancelled by either party after
ninety days written notification. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Bank paid
approximately $619,000, $741,000 and $907,000, respectively, in servicing fees
to the Loan Servicer. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $487.9
million and $526.3 million, respectively, in loans were being serviced pursuant
to the loan subservicing agreement.
F-77
<PAGE> 178
BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
The Loan Servicer has advised the Bank that, in the first quarter of 1996,
the Loan Servicer will cease operations. Accordingly, the Bank has entered into
a new subservicing agreement with an unaffiliated mortgage servicer. Conversion
to the new subservicer is scheduled for January 31, 1996.
During 1993 and 1992, the Bank acquired mortgage servicing rights to
approximately $242.2 million and $569.8 million of loans, respectively. These
loans, with an unpaid principal balance of $312.0 million and $359.4 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, are part of the loans being serviced
by the Loan Servicer under the subservicing agreement.
In conjunction with servicing performed by the Loan Servicer for the Bank
and for its own account, escrow funds and other servicing-related non-interest
bearing deposits are maintained at the Bank. Such funds averaged $17.6 million,
$30.2 million and $50.0 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, such servicing deposits amounted to $4.8 million and
$13.0 million, respectively.
Through September 30, 1995, the Bank was a party to an interest rate
exchange agreement ("interest rate swap") with the Loan Servicer. The
differential between the rate paid or received was recognized as a yield
adjustment to the Bank's cost of funds. The interest rate swap rates were
generally negotiated every sixty days under normal market terms and conditions.
The nature of the swap was such that the Loan Servicer earns a rate equal to
that available on short-term certificates of deposit on the notional amount.
Accordingly, the interest rate swap agreement did not have the characteristics
of a traditional interest swap in hedging interest rate risk. The notional
amount of the swap was established periodically by reference to the balance of
certain discretionary funds maintained by the Loan Servicer on deposit at the
Bank in non-interest bearing accounts. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the average
notional amounts outstanding under the interest rate swap were $6.2 million,
$12.1 million, and $20.3 million, respectively. The net interest cost associated
with the interest rate swap during 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to approximately
$327,000, $456,000, and $513,000, respectively. At December 31, 1994, the
outstanding notional amount of the interest swap was $4.9 million.
From time to time, the Bank has securitized groups of mortgage loans it has
purchased or originated under programs established by government agencies,
primarily the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), or sells individual loans to those
agencies, while maintaining the right to service the loans. During 1994 and
1993, the Bank sold to the Loan Servicer rights to $3.0 million and $18.3
million of such loans and recognized gains of $28,000 and $172,000,
respectively. There were no such sales during 1995.
During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Bank purchased single family first mortgage
loans from the Loan Servicer for a total purchase price of approximately
$582,000, $3.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The Loan Servicer makes
available to the Bank information on loan applications being processed. The Bank
reviews those loans and, based upon an independent underwriting review, selects
loans for acquisition. Loans are purchased at prices customarily available in
the first mortgage market.
During 1994, the Bank invested in residential first mortgage loans
originated by the Loan Servicer from the date such loans were originated until
their delivery to permanent, non-affiliated investors or to the Bank. Purchases
made by the Bank were made pursuant to an agreement that the Loan Servicer would
repurchase the loans at no gain or loss to the Bank. A total of $88.8 million in
loans were purchased by the Bank under this arrangement and subsequently sold to
the Loan Servicer. No such loans were held by the Bank at December 31, 1995, or
1994, as the Loan Servicer terminated its loan origination capability during
1994.
In conjunction with the above purchases of loans, the Bank provided
underwriting services to the Loan Servicer and charged the Loan Servicer
approximately $104,000 during 1994.
During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Loan Servicer paid the Bank rent of
approximately $183,000, $195,000 and $78,000 for use of office space in a
building owned by the Bank under the terms of a lease expiring July 1,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
1996. Because of the Loan Servicer's winding-down of operations, it is
anticipated that this lease agreement will not be renewed.
The Bank provides certain human resource services to the Loan Servicer
primarily with regard to payroll, health insurance processing, and policies and
procedures. During 1995, 1994, and 1993, the Bank charged the Loan Servicer
approximately $21,000, $38,000, and $43,000, respectively for those services.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into transactions with
Directors of the Bank, with the Company's stockholder and with firms with which
the Directors or stockholder are affiliated. During 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, the Bank paid marketing, advertising, and public relations fees of
approximately $179,000, $181,000, and $138,000 to a company owned by one of the
Bank's Directors. Another of the Bank's Directors is an employee of a law firm
which performs routine legal services for the Bank. During 1995, 1994, and
1993, the Bank paid legal fees of approximately $24,000, $11,000 and $19,000,
respectively, to that law firm. In addition, the Bank rents office space to a
firm managed by one of the Bank's Directors under a three year lease agreement
expiring on June 30, 1997. Rental income earned by the Bank from that lease was
approximately $14,000 and $6,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The aggregate
unpaid principal balance of loans outstanding to the Bank's Directors or their
business interests was approximately $414,000 and $396,000 at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
The Company's stockholder has an ownership interest in a building which
houses one of the Bank's offices. Rent expense on that office was approximately
$7,000 for each of the years, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The Bank has
loans outstanding to a firm in which the Company's stockholder has ownership
interests. The principal balance of those loans was approximately $36,000 and
$315,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively. The Company's
stockholder or firms controlled by the stockholder had approximately $4.4
million and $4.6 million, on deposit at the Bank on December 31, 1995 and 1994
respectively, excluding servicing deposits held by the Loan Servicer.
15. RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that
it may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 1995,
approximately $727,000 of retained earnings were available for dividend
declaration without prior regulatory approval.
16. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
During January 1989, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") issued final
guidelines for a risk-based approach in determining the capital requirements of
banking organizations. The guidelines consist of Tier I and total capital, the
difference primarily being that the allowance for loan losses is included in
total capital subject to certain specific limitations. The new guidelines became
fully phased in at December 31, 1992, at which time the total capital ratio
requirement was 8.00%, of which Tier I capital must be at least 4.00%. At
December 31, 1995, the Company's unaudited Tier I and total capital ratios were
11.5% and 12.7%, respectively.
The FRB and the FDIC have adopted minimum Tier I leverage ratio standards.
Tier I capital for purposes of the leverage ratio requirement is the same as
year end 1992 Tier I capital for purposes of the risk-based approach. The
leverage ratio establishes a minimum of Tier I capital to total assets of 3% for
strong banking organizations, generally with a composite CAMEL rating of one,
and 100 to 200 basis points above this minimum level for other institutions. The
Company's unaudited leverage ratio was 6.9% at December 31, 1995.
The Company and the Bank believe that the aforementioned capital amounts
exceed the minimum of risk-based and leverage ratio capital required by the FRB
and the FDIC. There can be no assurance that
F-79

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
interpretation of applicable regulations would not result in different capital
requirements for the Company and the Bank.
FDICIA also requires the FDIC to place financial institutions into
risk-based categories for purposes of determining the amount of risk, if any, to
the deposit insurance funds. Institutions are assigned to one of three groups:
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized, based on their
capital ratios and other available relevant information. As of December 31,
1995, the Bank was included in the well capitalized category pursuant to a
notification received from the FDIC, as its total capital ratio exceeded 10% and
its Tier I capital ratio exceeded 6%. The Bank is also considered by management
to be well capitalized pursuant to the prompt corrective action provisions of
FDICIA.
17. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments, defines the fair value of a financial instrument
as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Bank's
financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 (in thousands):

</TABLE>
The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the
low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of
borrowing funds in the market. If that value were considered at December 31,
1995 and 1994, excluding escrow deposits held at the Bank related to mortgage
loan servicing rights purchased independently and relating to owned residential
loans, the fair value of the Bank's net assets would increase by approximately
$17.4 million and $31.9 million, respectively.
The fair value estimates also do not include the value of mortgage loan
servicing rights owned by the Bank. The value of those rights is composed of (1)
the value of low cost deposits maintained at the Bank relating to servicing
escrow and investor custodial funds, and (2) expected net servicing revenue from
purchased mortgage servicing rights. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the fair
value of servicing rights owned by the Bank was approximately $5.1 million and
$8.1 million and the carrying value was $2.3 million and $2.6 million,
respectively.

BANK OF NORTH AMERICA BANCORP, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
ESTIMATION OF FAIR VALUES
The following notes summarize the major methods and assumptions used in
estimating the fair values of financial instruments.
Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts
included in the consolidated statement of financial condition, which are
reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relative short period to maturity
of the instruments. This approach applies to cash and cash equivalents.
Loans held for sale are valued at quoted market prices or investor
commitments.
Loans are valued on the basis of estimated future receipts of principal and
interest, discounted at various rates. Loan prepayments are assumed to occur at
the same rate as in previous periods when interest rates were at levels similar
to current levels. Future cash flows for homogeneous categories of consumer
loans, such as motor vehicle loans, are estimated on a portfolio basis and
discounted at current rates offered for similar loan terms to new borrowers. The
fair value of nonaccrual loans is estimated based on the fair value of related
collateral for collateral-dependent loans or on a present value basis, using
higher discount rates appropriate to the higher risk involved.
Securities are valued at quoted market prices.
FHLB stock is valued at the redemption value.
Fair value of demand deposits and deposits with no defined maturity is
taken to be the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value
of fixed-maturity deposits is estimated using rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities. The intangible value of long-term
relationships with depositors is not taken into account in estimating the fair
values shown in the previous table.
Rates currently available to the Bank for term borrowings with similar
terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing
borrowings as the present value of expected cash flows.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are valued on
the basis of fees currently charged for commitments for similar loan terms to
new borrowers with similar credit profiles.
