REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The 401(k) Investment Committee
Levitt Corporation Security Plus Plan
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Levitt
Corporation Security Plus Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2005, and
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying Supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December
31, 2005 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements. This schedule includes supplemental information required by the Department
of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of
the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respect in relation
to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Levitt Corporation Security Plus Plan
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of Levitt Corporation Security Plus Plan (the Plan) provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more
complete description of the Plans provisions.
The Plan was established effective January 1, 2004 and is a defined contribution plan
covering all employees, excluding certain employees whose employment is governed by the
terms of a collective bargaining agreement and non-resident aliens, of Levitt
Corporation, Bowden Building Corporation, Core Communities, LLC, Levitt and Sons, LLC,
Levitt Capital, LLC, Levitt Commercial, LLC, and St. Lucie West Development Company, LLC
(collectively the Company), who have completed 3 months of service, as defined by the
Plan, and are age 18 or older. Assets of the Plan were maintained by Reliance Trust
Company and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company served as the agent for Reliance Trust
Company with respect to all trustee duties, responsibilities and functions required
under the Plan agreement through November 30, 2005. On December 1, 2005 the Plan
switched trustees and the assets of the Plan are now managed by ING Life Insurance and
Annuity Company.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA). The Company is the plan administrator.
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute a percentage of their pre-tax annual
compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Company currently makes safe harbor
matching contributions to the account of each eligible participant in an amount equal to
the sum of 100% of the amount of the participants elective deferrals that do not exceed
3% of the participants compensation, plus 50% of the amount of the participants
elective deferrals that exceed 3% of the participants compensation but do not exceed 5%
of the participants compensation. The Company may also make additional discretionary
contributions to the Plan each year. No additional discretionary contributions were
made during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and an
allocation of the employers contribution, interest earned, administrative expenses
related to loan origination and investment gains and losses. Allocations of Plan
earnings are based on participant account balances, which are individually directed
among the Plans investment options.
6
Forfeited Accounts
Forfeited balances of participants non-vested accounts are used to reduce future
Company contributions. There were approximately $3,400 of unallocated forfeitures as of
December 31, 2005.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions, rollover contributions
and allocated safe harbor contributions, plus any earnings thereon.
The vesting schedule with respect to other discretionary employer contributions is as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Years of |
|
Percentage |
Service |
|
Vested |
1 |
|
|
20 |
% |
2 |

3 |
|
|
60 |
% |
4 |
|
|
80 |
% |
5 |
|
|
100 |
% |
If, while an employee, the participant dies, the beneficiary is entitled to 100% of the
vested account balance, to be paid in either a lump-sum payment. If the participant
becomes disabled while employed, they are entitled to 100% of their account balance and
are paid as though retired.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or
50% of the participants vested account balance. Loans bear a reasonable rate of
interest with terms that may not exceed five years, unless made to purchase a primary
residence. Loan principal and interest must be repaid in equal installments made at
least quarterly. No loan may be granted to any participant having a loan currently
outstanding from the Plan.
Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may
elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the value of the participants vested
interest in their account. Upon termination of service for reasons other than death,
disability or retirement, a participant may receive a lump-sum payment equal to the
vested value of their account.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the
Plan to discontinue its contribution at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to
the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of
contributions, all participants accounts become 100% vested. Upon such termination of
the Plan, the Company will direct complete distribution of the assets of the Plan to the
participants, in cash, subject to the participant consent provisions of the Plan.
7
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Except for the ING Fixed Account 15S, the Plans investments are stated at fair value
(see Note 3). The fair value of the participation units owned by the Plan in registered
investment companies are based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of
the Plan year. These investments are held in pooled separate accounts at ING. The
participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair
value.
Investment contracts held in the ING Fixed Account 15S are recorded at their contract
values, which represent contributions and reinvested income, less any withdrawals plus
accrued interest, because these investments have fully benefit-responsive features. For
example, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a
portion of their investment at contract value. However, withdrawals influenced by
organization-initiated events, such as in connection with the sale of a business, may
result in a distribution at other than contract value. There are no reserves against
contract values for credit risk of contract issuers or otherwise.
At December 31, 2005, the ING Fixed Account 15S was recorded at contract value which
approximates fair value. The yield and crediting interest rate of the ING Fixed Account
15S is adjusted annually but may not go below 3%. The yield and crediting interest
rate of the ING Fixed Account 15S was 3% as of December 31, 2005.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid. As of December 31, 2005, there were no amounts
allocated to the accounts of individuals who have elected to withdraw from the Plan but
had not yet been paid.
Net Appreciation in Fair Value of Investments
The Plan presents, in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, the
net appreciation in the fair value of its investments, which includes unrealized
depreciation on those investments.
Administrative and Investment Expenses
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid directly by the Company and are not
included in the accompanying financial statements. Certain investment expenses are
netted against the appreciation (depreciation) of the fair value of investments.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally
8
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, investment income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Credit Risk
The Plans investments are not insured or protected by the Plans Custodians, the
Company, the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, or any other governmental agency;
accordingly, the Plan is subject to the normal investment risks associated with similar
investments.

NOTE 4 INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan is designed to be a qualified trust under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) and is subject to the provisions of ERISA. The Plan has adopted a prototype
plan prepared and maintained by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. The prototype plan
received a favorable opinion letter dated November 7, 2001 from the Internal Revenue
Service. The Plan administrator believes that the adopted and amended Plan continues to
qualify and will remain exempt from federal income taxes under Section 401(a).
