Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, on September 21, 2006, BB&T Capital Markets, a division of Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., served as initial purchaser and placement agent for a private offering and sale of $139.2 million of Bluegreen Corporation vacation ownership receivable-backed securities (the "2006 Term Securitization"). In addition, the 2006 Term Securitization allowed for us to sell an additional $39.3 million in aggregate principal of our qualifying vacation ownership receivables (the "Pre-funded Receivables") to Bluegreen Receivables Finance Corporation XII, our wholly-owned, special purpose finance subsidiary ("BRFC XII") through December 22, 2006. BRFC XII would then sell the Pre-funded receivables to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2006-B, an owners trust (a qualified special purpose entity), without recourse to us or BRFC XII, except for breaches of certain representations and warranties at the time of sale. The expected proceeds of $35.7 million (at an advance rate of 91%) as payment for the Pre-funded Receivables were originally deposited into an escrow account by the indenture trustee of the 2006 Term Securitization.

On October 23, 2006 we sold $27.7 million in Pre-funded Receivables to BRFC XII and the $25.2 million purchase price was disbursed to us from the escrow account. The proceeds will be used by us for general operating purposes.

As a result of this sale, we have $10.5 million in proceeds remaining in the escrow account related to the Pre-funded Receivables.
