Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 11, 2009, Bluegreen Corporation (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2009. A copy of the Company’s earnings press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
In addition to financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the earnings press release also contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as “Field Operating Profit (Loss)”. Field operating profit (loss) is defined as operating profit (loss) prior to the allocation of corporate overhead, interest income, sales of notes receivable, other income and expense, net, interest expense, non-controlling interest, and income taxes. The Company believes that this non-GAAP operating measure supplements its GAAP financial information and provides a useful measure of evaluating the Company’s operating results and any related trends that may be affecting the Company’s business. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
