PART I
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On February 28, and March 1, 2007, two identical complaints were filed in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against the Company, Levitt Corporation (“Levitt”) and the members of Levitt’s Board of Directors in (i) Samuel Flamholz, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, v. James Blosser, Darwin Dornbush, Alan B. Levan, William Scherer, S. Lawrence Kahn, III, Joel Levy, John E. Abdo, William Nicholson, Alan J. Levy, Levitt Corporation, and BFC Financial Corp. and (ii) Elaine Mount, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, v. James Blosser, Darwin Dornbush, Alan B. Levan, William Scherer, S. Lawrence Kahn, III, Joel Levy, John E. Abdo, William Nicholson, Alan J. Levy, Levitt Corporation, and BFC Financial Corp., respectively. Each complaint relates to the previously reported definitive merger agreement entered into by the Company and Levitt, pursuant to which Levitt would, if the merger is consummated, become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The complaints allege that the members of Levitt’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duty to Levitt’s minority shareholders by approving the merger agreement with the Company. The plaintiffs apparently are incorrectly suggesting that the Company controls the outcome of the vote of Levitt’s shareholders with respect to the merger agreement. However, the merger will be consummated only if, as required by Florida law, it is approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Levitt’s Class A Common Stock (of which the Company holds only approximately 11%) and, as required by the terms of the merger agreement, it is approved by the holders of a majority of Levitt’s Class A Common Stock voted at the meeting without counting the shares of Levitt’s Class A Common Stock voted by the Company. In both complaints, the plaintiffs seek to enjoin the merger or, if it is completed, to rescind it. The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that during the year ended December 31, 2006, all filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis.
Code of Ethics
The Company has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Company will post amendments to or waivers from its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (to the extent applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) on its website at www.bfcfinancial.com. There were no such waivers from the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics during 2006. The Company made ministerial amendments to its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on November 6, 2006. The amended Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been posted on the Company’s website.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Compensation Program
The Compensation Committee (referred to within this section as the “Committee”) administers the compensation program for the Company’s executive officers. The Committee reviews and determines all executive officer compensation, administers the Company’s equity incentive plans (including reviewing and approving grants to the Company’s executive officers), makes recommendations to shareholders with respect to proposals related to compensation matters and generally consults with management regarding employee compensation programs.
The Committee’s charter reflects these responsibilities, and the Committee and the Board of Directors periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the charter. The Board of Directors determines the Committee’s membership, which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Committee meets at regularly scheduled times during the year, and it may also hold specially scheduled meetings and take action by written consent. At Board meetings, the Chairman of the Committee reports on Committee actions and recommendations, as he deems appropriate. Executive compensation is reviewed at executive sessions of the Board.
Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the term “Named Executive Officers” is used to refer collectively to the individuals included on the Summary Compensation Table on page 8.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Company’s compensation program for executive officers consists of a base salary, an annual cash incentive and bonus program, periodic grants of restricted stock or stock options, and health and welfare benefits. The Committee believes that the most effective executive officer compensation program is one that is designed to align the interests of the executive officers with those of shareholders by compensating the executive officers in a manner that advances both the short- and long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Committee believes that

4


 

the Company’s compensation program for executive officers is appropriately based upon the Company’s performance, the performance and level of responsibility of the executive officer and the market, generally, with respect to executive officer compensation.
Messrs. Levan and Abdo hold executive positions at BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt and received compensation for their services directly from these subsidiaries in 2006. While the Committee does not determine the compensation paid to Messrs. Levan and Abdo by the Company’s public company subsidiaries, the Committee considers such compensation and the fact that Messrs. Levan and Abdo devote time to the operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt when determining the compensation the Company pays to Messrs. Levan and Abdo.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Committee makes all compensation decisions for the Named Executive Officers and other executive officers, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to all of the Company’s employees. The Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each of the Named Executive Officers (other than himself, whose performance is reviewed by the Committee). The conclusions reached and recommendations based on these reviews, including those with respect to setting and adjusting base salary, annual cash incentive awards and bonuses and stock option awards, are presented to the Committee. The Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying upward or downward any recommended amounts or awards to executive officers. In 2006, the Committee accepted without modification the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.
Executive Officer Compensation Components
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the principal components of compensation for the Named Executive Officers were:
    base salary;
 
    the Company’s annual incentive and bonus program; and
 
    long-term equity incentive compensation.
Base Salary
The Committee believes that the base salaries offered by the Company are competitive based on a review of market practices and the duties and responsibilities of each Named Executive Officer. In setting base salaries, the Committee periodically examines market compensation levels and trends observed in the market for executives of comparable experience and skills. Market information is used as an initial frame of reference for establishing and adjusting base salaries. The Committee believes that the Named Executive Officers’ base salaries should be competitive with those of other executives with comparable experience at organizations similar to the Company.
In addition to examining market compensation levels and trends, the Committee makes base salary decisions for the Named Executive Officers based on an annual review by the Committee with input and recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee’s review includes, among other things, the functional and decision-making responsibilities of each position, the significance of each Named Executive Officer’s specific area of individual responsibility to the Company’s financial performance and achievement of overall goals, and the contribution, experience and work performance of each Named Executive Officer.
With respect to base salary decisions for the Chief Executive Officer, the Committee makes an assessment of Mr. Levan’s past performance as Chief Executive Officer and its expectations as to his future contributions to the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the factors described above for the other Named Executive Officers, including examining market compensation levels and trends and evaluating his individual performance and the Company’s financial condition, operating results and attainment of strategic objectives. In evaluating the performance of Mr. Levan for purposes of not only his base salary, but also his cash bonus under the Company’s annual incentive and bonus program and stock option awards under the Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program, the Committee considered the Company’s 2006 operating results and its financial condition. In its review, the Committee also considered Mr. Levan’s considerable effort and attention in connection with the

5


 

operations of the Company’s principal investments, including BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt, and that the performance of such principal investments has been a substantial factor in the success of the Company. In its review, the Committee also noted, among other things, Mr. Levan’s leadership during 2006, including leadership actions taken at Levitt and BankAtlantic Bancorp with a view toward positioning both companies for long-term growth and future success and Mr. Levan’s efforts to increase the visibility of, and institutional interest in, each of the Company, BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt.
Each Named Executive Officer’s 2006 base salary increased approximately 4% from 2005. For 2007, the Committee has approved an increase of 4% in the base salaries of each of Messrs. Levan, Abdo and Bakes. The Committee has also approved a 2007 base salary of $175,000 for George P. Scanlon, who, effective April 2, 2007, was appointed the Company’s new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer following Mr. Gilbert’s retirement from such positions on March 29, 2007. Mr. Scanlon will continue to receive a base salary of $175,000 during 2007 as Chief Financial Officer of Levitt.
Annual Incentive and Bonus Program
The Company’s annual incentive and bonus program is a cash bonus plan designed to promote high performance and achievement of shorter-term corporate strategic goals and initiatives, encourage the growth of shareholder value, and allow executives, including the Named Executive Officers, to participate in the growth and profitability of the Company. This program includes elements tied to the achievement of pre-established, objective individual and company-wide annual financial performance goals. These goals are established each year during the Company’s annual budget cycle, and the portion of an executive officer’s cash bonus under the plan that is related to financial performance goals varies upon the impact that the executive officer has on the overall financial performance of the Company as well as the financial performance of his or her division. Generally, a minimum corporate profitability threshold must be achieved before any bonus will be paid. However, the Company’s annual incentive and bonus program also includes a discretionary element tied to a subjective evaluation of overall performance in areas outside those that can be objectively measured based on financial results. Each executive officer’s bonus is intended to take into account corporate and individual components, which are weighted according to the executive officer’s responsibilities.
In 2006, a total of $1,165,564 in cash bonuses were awarded to the Named Executive Officers under the Company’s annual incentive and bonus program, each of which was based on a subjective evaluation of overall performance in areas outside those that can be objectively measured. Mr. Levan was paid a discretionary bonus notwithstanding that the Company did not generate profits upon which a bonus under the objective criteria of the Company’s annual incentive program would be paid. The bonuses paid were as follows:
         
Alan B. Levan
  $ 466,891  
John E. Abdo
  343,200  
Glen R. Gilbert
  209,873  
Phil J. Bakes
  145,600  
Mr. Gilbert ceased to be an executive officer of the Company upon his retirement, effective March 29, 2007. He continues to serve the Company in a non-executive position.
In 2007, Mr. Levan has the potential to be awarded a bonus under the Company’s annual incentive program of up to 100% of his base salary and the other Named Executive Officers have the potential to be awarded bonuses under the Company’s annual incentive program, ranging from 60% to 100% of base salary, in each case, to be payable on the Company’s achievement of certain book value or share price targets.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
The Company’s long-term equity incentive compensation program provides an opportunity for the Named Executive Officers, and the Company’s other executive officers, to increase their stake in the Company through grants of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and encourages executive officers to focus on long-term company performance by aligning the executive officers’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders, since the ultimate value of such compensation is directly dependent on the stock price. The Committee believes that providing executive officers with opportunities to acquire an interest in the growth and

6


 

prosperity of the Company through the grant of stock options enables the Company to attract and retain qualified and experienced executive officers and offer additional long-term incentives.
The Committee’s grant of stock options to executive officers is discretionary based on an assessment of the individual executive officer’s contribution to the success and growth of the Company, subject in any event to the limitations set by the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Decisions by the Committee regarding grants of stock options to executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer), are generally made based upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, the level of the executive officer’s position with the Company, an evaluation of the executive officer’s past and expected future performance, the number of outstanding and previously granted stock options to the executive officer and discussions with the executive officer.
In 2006, all of the Named Executive Officers were granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to the market value of such stock on the date of grant, and which vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The Committee believes that such stock options serve as a significant aid in the retention of executive officers, since these stock option awards do not vest until five years after the grant date.
Internal Revenue Code Limits on Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to the corporation’s chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers as of the end of any fiscal year. However, the statute exempts qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain requirements are met.
The Committee believes that it is generally in the Company’s best interest to attempt to structure performance-based compensation, including stock option grants or performance-based restricted stock awards and annual bonuses, to executive officers who may be subject to Section 162(m) in a manner that satisfies the statute’s requirements for full tax deductibility for the compensation. However, the Committee also recognizes the need to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions that may not meet Section 162(m) standards when appropriate for the Company’s overall objectives, even if the Company may not deduct all of the compensation. While the Company adopted its Performance-Based Annual Incentive Plan to provide for bonus payments based on objective standards as contemplated by Section 162(m), bonuses paid in 2006 were subjective bonuses paid in the Committee’s discretion outside of the Performance-Based Annual Incentive Plan. No assurance can be given that compensation paid by the Company in the future will satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m).
Compensation Committee Report
The following Report of the Compensation Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

BankAtlantic Retirement Plan
Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo are participants in the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan, which is a defined benefit plan. Effective December 31, 1998, BankAtlantic Bancorp froze the benefits under the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan. Participants who were employed at December 1, 1998, became fully vested in their benefits under the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan. While the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan is frozen, there will be no future benefit accruals. Other than Messrs. Levan and Abdo, no Named Executive Officer is a participant in the BankAtlantic

Retirement Plan. The BankAtlantic Retirement Plan was designed to provide retirement income based on an employee’s salary and years of active service, determined as of December 31, 1998. The cost of the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan is paid by BankAtlantic and all contributions are actuarially determined.
In general, the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan provides for monthly payments to or on behalf of each covered employee upon such employee’s retirement (with provisions for early or postponed retirement), death or disability. As a result of the freezing of future benefit accruals, the amount of the monthly payments is based generally upon two factors: (1) the employee’s average regular monthly compensation for the five consecutive years out of the last ten years ended December 31, 1998, or prior retirement, death or disability, that produces the highest average monthly rate of regular compensation and (2) upon the employee’s years of service with BankAtlantic at December 31, 1998. Benefits are payable for the retiree’s life, with ten years’ worth of payments guaranteed. The benefits are not subject to any reduction for Social Security or any other external benefits.
In 1996, BankAtlantic amended the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan and adopted a supplemental benefit for certain executives, as permitted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). This was done because of a change in the Code that operated to restrict the amount of the executive’s compensation that may be taken into account for plan purposes, regardless of the executive’s actual compensation. The intent of the supplemental benefit, when added to the regular plan benefit, was to provide to certain executives the same retirement benefits that they would have received had the Code limits not been enacted, subject to other requirements of the Code. The approximate targeted percentage of pre-retirement compensation for which Mr. Levan will be eligible under the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan as a result of the supplemental benefit at age 65 is 33%. No other Named Executive Officer is entitled to the supplemental benefit. The supplemental benefit also was frozen as of December 31, 1998. Because the percentage of pre-retirement compensation payable from the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan to Mr. Levan, including the plan’s supplemental benefit, fell short of the benefit that Mr. Levan would have received under the plan absent the Code limits, BankAtlantic adopted the BankAtlantic Split-Dollar Plan, an employee benefit plan described below.
The following table illustrates annual pension benefits at age 65 for various levels of compensation and years of service at December 31, 1998, the date on which BankAtlantic Retirement Plan benefits were frozen.

    13,880       27,760       55,520       83,280       111,160  
BankAtlantic Split-Dollar Plan
BankAtlantic adopted the BankAtlantic Split-Dollar Plan in 1996 to provide additional retirement benefits to Mr. Levan, whose monthly benefits under the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan were limited by changes to the Code. Under the BankAtlantic Split-Dollar Plan and its accompanying agreement with Mr. Levan, BankAtlantic arranged for the purchase of an insurance policy insuring the life of Mr. Levan. Pursuant to its agreement with Mr. Levan, BankAtlantic will make premium payments for this policy. The policy is anticipated to accumulate significant cash value over time, which cash value is expected to supplement Mr. Levan’s retirement benefit payable from the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan. Mr. Levan owns the insurance policy, but BankAtlantic will be reimbursed for the amount of premiums that BankAtlantic pays for such policy upon the earlier of his retirement or death. The portion of the amount paid in prior years attributable to the 2006 premium for the insurance policy that is considered compensation to Mr. Levan is included under “All Other Compensation” in the “Summary Compensation Table” above. The BankAtlantic Split-Dollar Plan was not included in the freezing of the BankAtlantic Retirement Plan and BankAtlantic has continued to make premium payments for the insurance policy since 1998.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
In September 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Gilbert pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Gilbert a monthly retirement benefit of $5,672 beginning January 1, 2010, regardless of his actual retirement date. The monthly payments will continue through Mr. Gilbert’s life, or if he dies before receiving 120 monthly payments, until such time as at least 120 monthly payments have been made to Mr. Gilbert and his beneficiaries. However, as permitted by the agreement, Mr. Gilbert may elect to choose an available actuarially equivalent form of payment. The Company’s obligation under the agreement is unfunded. Based on an aggregate retirement benefit payment of $980,296, in September 2005, the Company recorded the present value of the retirement benefit payment in the amount of $482,444. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in footnote 22 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007. The Company will recognize monthly the amortization of interest on the retirement benefit as compensation expense. Effective March 29, 2007, Mr. Gilbert retired from his executive positions with the Company. He continues to serve the Company in a non-executive position.
Compensation of Directors
The Company’s Compensation Committee recommends director compensation to the Board based on factors it considers appropriate and based on the recommendations of management. In 2006, non-employee directors of the Company each received $100,000 for service on the Board, payable in cash, restricted stock or non-qualified stock options, in such combinations as the directors may elect, provided that no more than $50,000 may be payable in cash. The restricted stock and stock options are granted in the Company’s Class A Common Stock under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Restricted stock vests monthly over the 12-month service period and stock options are fully vested on the date of grant, have a ten-year term and have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The number of stock options and restricted stock granted is determined by the Company based on assumptions and formulas typically used to value these types of securities. For 2006, the Company paid an aggregate of $200,000 in cash and granted 30,028 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock to its non-employee directors pursuant to this plan. The Company did not grant any stock options to its non-employee directors in 2006 pursuant to this plan. No director receives additional compensation for attendance at Board or Committee meetings except as follows. In 2006, members of the Audit Committee, other than its Chairman, received an annual cash amount of $10,000. The Chairman of the Audit Committee received an annual cash amount of $15,000 during 2006. The Chairman of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee each received $3,500 during 2006. Directors who are also officers of the Company or its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for their service as directors or for attendance at Board or Committee meetings.

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The Board of Directors reviews and approves transactions in which the Company was or is to be a participant, the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 annually and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers, or their immediate family members, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. When considering a related person transaction, the Company’s board of directors analyzes, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether such related person transaction was or is to be for the benefit of the Company and upon terms no less favorable to the Company than if the related person transaction was with an unrelated party. During 2006, no related person transaction occurred where this process was not followed.

Transactions with Related Persons
The Company is the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt. The Company also has a direct non-controlling interest in Benihana and, through Levitt, an indirect ownership interest in Bluegreen. The majority of the Company’s capital stock is owned or controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and by the Company’s Vice Chairman, both of whom are also directors of the Company, executive officers and directors of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt, and directors of Bluegreen. The Company’s Vice Chairman is also a director of Benihana.
The following table presents the Company, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Levitt and Bluegreen related person transactions at, and for the year ended, December 31, 2006. Such amounts were eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
                                         
            At and For the Year Ended December 31, 2006  
            (in thousands)  
                    BankAtlantic              
            BFC     Bancorp     Levitt     Bluegreen  
Cash and cash equivalents and (securities sold under agreements to repurchase)
    (1 )   $ 996     $ (5,297 )   $ 4,301     $  
Shared service receivable (payable)
    (2 )     312       (142 )     (107 )     (63 )

Interest income (expense) from cash balance/securities sold under agreements to repurchase
    (1 )     43       (521 )     478        
 
(1)   The Company and Levitt entered into securities sold under agreements to repurchase with BankAtlantic. The balance in those accounts in the aggregate was approximately $5.3 million at December 31, 2006, and interest in connection with these repurchase agreements was approximately $521,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. These transactions have the same terms as other BankAtlantic repurchase agreements.
 
(2)   Effective January 1, 2006, the Company maintained arrangements with BankAtlantic Bancorp, Levitt and Bluegreen to provide shared service operations in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration. Pursuant to this arrangement, certain employees from BankAtlantic were transferred to the Company to staff the Company’s shared service operations. The costs of shared services are allocated based upon the usage of the respective services. Also as part of the shared service arrangement, the Company reimburses BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for office facilities costs relating to the Company and its shared service operations.
As previously reported, the Company, on January 30, 2007, entered into a definitive merger agreement with Levitt which, if the transactions contemplated by such agreement are consummated, will result in Levitt becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Completion of the merger remains subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of the merger and the merger agreement by the Company’s and Levitt’s respective shareholders. If the merger is consummated, holders of Levitt Class A Common Stock other than the Company will receive 2.27 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Levitt Class A Common Stock they hold at the effective time of the merger and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The shares of Levitt common stock held by the Company will be cancelled in the merger.
BankAtlantic Bancorp in prior periods issued options to acquire shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A Common Stock to employees of Levitt prior to the spin-off and to BankAtlantic Bancorp employees that were transferred to the Company on January 1, 2006. BankAtlantic Bancorp has elected, in accordance with the terms of its stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. BankAtlantic Bancorp accounts for these options to former employees as employee stock options because these individuals were employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp on the grant date. During the year ended December 31, 2006, former employees exercised 51,464 options to acquire BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.28.

    Stock     Price  
Options outstanding
    306,598     $ 10.48

During the year ended December 31, 2006, BankAtlantic Bancorp issued to the Company’s employees that perform services for BankAtlantic Bancorp options to acquire 50,300 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.69. These options vest in five years and expire ten years from the grant date. The Company recognized an expense of $26,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
The Company and its subsidiaries utilized certain services of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A. (“Ruden, McClosky”), a law firm to which Bruno DiGiulian, a director of BankAtlantic Bancorp, was of counsel until September 30, 2006. Fees aggregating $526,000 were paid by BankAtlantic Bancorp to Ruden, McClosky during the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, fees aggregating $1.6 million were paid to Ruden, McClosky by Levitt in 2006. Ruden, McClosky also represents Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo with respect to certain other business interests.
Since 2002, Levitt has utilized certain services of Conrad & Scherer, a law firm in which William R. Scherer, a member of Levitt’s board of directors, is a member. Levitt paid fees aggregating $470,000 to this firm during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Certain of the Company’s affiliates, including its executive officers, have independently made investments with their own funds in both public and private entities in which the Company holds investments.
Included in the Company’s other assets at December 31, 2006 was approximately $7,000 due from affiliates.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that four of the Company’s directors—D. Keith Cobb, Oscar Holzmann, Earl Pertnoy and Neil Sterling—are “independent” as such term is defined in the listing standards of the NYSE Arca and applicable law relating to the independence of directors.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

The following table presents for each of these entities fees billed by PwC relating to the audit of each of the company’s annual financial statements for fiscal 2006 and 2005 and fees billed by PwC for audit-related services, tax services and all other services rendered by PwC for fiscal 2006 and 2005.

(2)   Includes additional billing of $79,000, which was incurred during 2006 as final settlement of fees for the Company’s 2005 audit.
 
(3)   Principally audits of employee benefit plans and consultations regarding generally accepted accounting principles.
 
(4)   Includes fees for services related to the previously proposed initial public offering of Ryan Beck & Co., Inc.
 
(5)   Includes additional billing of $300,000 which was incurred during 2006 as final settlement of fees for Levitt’s 2005 audit.
All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of the respective entity, which concluded that the provision of such services by PwC was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. Under its charter, the Audit Committee must review and pre-approve both audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors and shall not engage the independent auditors to perform any non-audit services prohibited by law or regulation. Each year, the independent auditor’s retention to audit the Company’s financial statements, including the associated fee, is approved by the Audit Committee before the filing of the preceding year’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under its current practices, the Audit Committee does not regularly evaluate potential engagements of the independent auditor and approve or reject such potential engagements. At each Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee receives updates on the services actually provided by the independent auditor, and management may present additional services for pre-approval. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements involving projected fees of $10,000 or less on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that a need arises for pre-approval between regular Audit Committee meetings. If the Chairman so approves any such engagements, he will report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting. Engagements involving projected fees of more than $10,000 may only be pre-approved by the full Audit Committee at a regular or special meeting.
The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the services, other than audit services, as described above are compatible with maintaining the principal independent auditor’s independence.
