Item 4.02   Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
     (a) On May 14, 2007, BFC Financial Corporation (the “Company”) determined that the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 should no longer be relied upon as a result of the restatement by Levitt Corporation of its financial results, which are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Levitt Corporation reported that an error was made relating to an elimination entry associated with an intercompany transaction at Levitt Corporation, and on May 17, 2007, Levitt Corporation filed an amendment with the SEC on Form 10-Q/A to its previously filed Form 10-Q restating its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Based upon the restatement by Levitt Corporation, the Company determined to restate its previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The impact of the restatement on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2007 is not material. The Company will include the restated results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 in an amendment on Form 10-Q/A to the Company’s previously-filed Form 10-Q for the same period.
     Authorized officers of the Company discussed this matter with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
