NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Atlantic Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the
"Trust"), was formed on July 27, 1995 for the purpose of liquidating its
interests in real properties, its mortgage loan portfolio and certain other
assets and liabilities which were transferred to the Trust from Ramco-Gershenson
Properties Trust (formerly named RPS Realty Trust) ("RPS") on May 10, 1996 (the
"Spin-Off Transaction"). The Trust adopted the liquidation basis of accounting
as of the date of the Spin-Off Transaction based on its originally stated
intention to liquidate its assets or merge or combine operations with another
real estate entity within eighteen months from the date of the Spin-Off
Transaction. The Trust intends to conduct its operations with the intent of
meeting the requirements applicable to a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). As a result, the Trust will have no current or deferred income tax
liabilities.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, which have not been audited, include all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the results for the interim periods. Such adjustments consist
only of normal recurring accruals.
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust's
annual report on form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of interim periods may not be
indicative of the results for the entire year.
LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
As a result of the Spin-Off Transaction, the Trust has adopted the
liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation basis of accounting is
appropriate when liquidation appears imminent and the Trust is no longer viewed
as a going concern. Under this method of accounting, assets are stated at their
estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at the anticipated
settlement amounts.
The valuations presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Net Assets in Liquidation represent the estimates at the dates shown, based on
current facts and circumstances, of the estimated net realizable value of the
assets and estimated costs of liquidating the Trust. In determining the net
realizable values of the assets, the Trust considered each asset's ability to
generate future cash flows, offers to purchase received from third parties, if
any, and other general market information. Such information was considered in
conjunction with operating the Trust's plan for disposition of assets. The
estimated costs of liquidation represent the estimated costs of operating the
Trust through its anticipated termination. These costs primarily include
payroll, consulting and related costs, rent, shareholder relations, legal and
auditing. Changes in these costs during the periods presented are reflected in
the adjustments to reflect the liquidation basis of accounting. Computations of
net realizable value necessitate the use of certain assumptions and estimates.
Future events, including economic conditions that relate to real estate markets
in general, may differ from those assumed or estimated at the time such
computations are made. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation when an
entity is in liquidation, the amounts ultimately realized from assets disposed
and costs incurred to settle liabilities may materially differ from amounts
presented.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration
of Trust, the Trust was to continue for a period of 18 months from the date of
the Spin-Off Transaction, subject to, among certain other things, satisfactory
resolution of the RPS Tax Issues (as such term is defined in footnote 5 below).
Because the RPS Tax Issues have not yet been satisfactorily resolved, the Trust
has continued its business past that date. The Trust cannot currently estimate
the timing of the future satisfactory resolution of the RPS Tax Issues.
Accordingly, the Trust will continue until there is a final determination of
these issues.
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust
and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

3. SHARES OUTSTANDING:
The weighted average number of shares of beneficial interest
outstanding for the periods ending September 30, 2003 and 2002 was 3,561,553.
4. CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:
Cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2003 consist primarily
of a certificate of deposit at a major New York bank of $24,100,000, purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less, bearing interest at a fixed
rate of 1.10%.
5. INCOME TAXES:
During the third quarter of 1994, RPS held more than 25% of the value
of its gross assets in overnight Treasury Bill reverse repurchase transactions
which the IRS may view as non-qualifying assets for the purposes of satisfying
an asset qualification test applicable to REITs, based on a Revenue Ruling
published in 1977 (the "Asset Issue"). RPS requested that the IRS enter into a
closing agreement with RPS that the Asset Issue would not impact RPS' status as
a REIT. The IRS declined such request. In February 1995, the IRS initiated an
examination of the 1991-1995 income tax returns of RPS (the "RPS Audit" and,
together with the Asset Issue, the "RPS Tax Issues"). Based on developments in
the law which occurred since 1977, RPS' tax counsel at that time, Battle Fowler
LLP, rendered an opinion that RPS' investment in Treasury Bill repurchase
obligations would not adversely affect its REIT status. However, such opinion is
not binding upon the IRS.
In connection with the Spin-Off Transaction, the Trust assumed all tax
liability arising out of the RPS Tax Issues (other than liability that relates
to events occurring or actions taken by RPS following the date of the Spin-Off
Transaction) pursuant to a tax agreement, dated May 10, 1996, by and between RPS
and the Trust. Such agreement provides that RPS (now named Ramco-Gershenson
Properties Trust), under the direction of four trustees, three of whom are also
trustees of the Trust (the "Continuing Trustees") and not the Trust, will
control, conduct and effect the settlement of any tax claims against RPS
relating to the RPS Tax Issues. Accordingly, the Trust does not have any control
as to the timing of the resolution or disposition of any such claims and no
assurance can be given that the resolution or disposition of any such claims
will be on terms or conditions as favorable to the Trust as if they were
resolved or disposed of by the Trust.
RPS and the Trust also have received an opinion from Wolf, Block,
Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP (the "Special Tax Counsel") that, to the extent there
is a deficiency in RPS distributions arising out of the IRS examination, and
provided RPS timely makes a deficiency dividend (i.e. declares and pays a
distribution which is permitted to relate back to the year for which each
deficiency was determined to satisfy the requirement that a REIT distribute
ninety-five percent (95%) of its taxable income), the classification of RPS as a
REIT for the taxable years under examination would not be affected.
As of September 30, 2003, the Trust has not been required to perform
its indemnity obligation with respect to the RPS Tax Issues other than with
respect to the payment of legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the IRS' ongoing examination. On March 1, 1999, the IRS revenue agent conducting
the examination issued his examination report (the "Original Revenue Agent's
Report") with respect to the tax issues in the RPS Tax Audit, including the RPS
Tax Issues. The Original Revenue Agent's Report set forth a number of positions
which the IRS examining agent took with respect to the RPS Tax Issues for the
years that are subject to the RPS Tax Audit, which Special Tax Counsel to the
Continuing Trustees believes are not consistent with applicable law and
regulations of the IRS. One of the positions, the acquisition of assets by
RPS that could be viewed as non-qualifying assets for REIT purposes, has been
addressed in the opinion letter of counsel referred to above. In addition, the
IRS revenue agent proposed to disallow the deductions for bad debts and certain
other items claimed by RPS in the years under examination. In reaching his
conclusion with respect to the deduction for bad debts, the IRS revenue agent
disregarded the fact that the values actually obtained for the assets
corresponded to the values used by RPS in determining its bad debt deductions
for financial reporting purposes. The issuance of the Original Revenue Agent's
Report constituted only the first step in the IRS administrative process for
determining whether there is any deficiency in RPS' tax liability for the years
at issue and any adverse determination by the IRS revenue agent is subject to
administrative appeal with the IRS and, thereafter, to judicial review. RPS
filed an administrative appeal (the "Protest") challenging the findings
contained in the Original Revenue Agent's Report. The appellate conferee to whom
the administrative appeal was assigned reviewed the Original Revenue Agent's
Report and the Protest and, rather than considering the appeal further, returned
the case to the revenue agent for further factual development. During a meeting
with the Special Tax Counsel to the Continuing Trustees, the appellate conferee
indicated that, even assuming the assertions in the Original Revenue Agent's
Report justified the disallowances, he was required to return the case to the
revenue agent because the facts necessary to sustain the assertions in the
Report had not been established to the degree necessary to permit the
consideration of the case on appeal. In response, the revenue agent requested
information in accordance with the directions of the appellate conferee and,
although much of the information was examined by the agent previously, RPS
responded to the new request.
On October 29, 2001, the IRS issued a new Revenue Agent's Report (the
"New Revenue Agent's Report") with respect to the issues presented by the Tax
Audit. The amount of the proposed adjustments to the taxable income of RPS and
the amount of the additional taxes asserted as being due from RPS, for the years
under examination in the New Revenue Agent's Report, include all of the amounts
included in the Original Revenue Agent's Report. In addition, the IRS has
proposed to disallow the loss claimed by RPS on the disposition of the fee title
interest in a property (acquired by RPS in 1992 at foreclosure) that was made to
an unrelated third-party. This results in the disallowance of a loss claimed by
RPS in 1994 in the approximate amount of $1,810,000. The New Revenue Agent's
Report asserts additional grounds in support of the disallowance of the RPS bad
debt deductions in the years under examination. If all of the positions taken in
the New Revenue Agent's Report were to be sustained, RPS, with funds which could
be supplied by the Trust, would have to distribute up to approximately $16.5
million to its shareholders, in accordance with the procedures for deficiency
dividends, in order to preserve its status as a REIT and could, in addition, be
subject to taxes, interest and penalties up to approximately $46.1 million
through September 30, 2003. The Trust has been advised that Ramco-Gershenson
Properties Trust timely filed a new administrative appeal (the "New Protest")
challenging the determinations made and discussions between Special Tax Counsel
to the Continuing Trustees and the IRS appellate conferees are ongoing.
On February 21, 2003, the IRS issued an examination report to the Trust
with respect to the 1996 and 1997 taxable years of the Trust. This examination
report proposes to disallow all of the loss deductions claimed by the Trust upon
the disposition of Trust Assets during that period. In addition, the examination
report proposes to increase the REIT taxable income of the Trust during 1996 and
1997 on account of two items reported on the Trust's tax returns for which the
Trust did not claim any taxable loss or deduction. Counsel to the Trust has
advised that the examination report contains numerous errors of fact with
respect to the operations of the Trust and that the legal conclusions in the
examination report are not consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code
and the income tax regulations. The Trust timely filed an administrative appeals
(the "Trust Protest") challenging the adjustments proposed in the examination
report.
6. OTHER ASSETS:
Other assets include the estimated interest income from the Trust's
short-term investments.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
LIQUIDATION ACTIVITIES.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
At September 30, 2003, the Trust owned one retail property (Hylan Plaza
Shopping Center, located in Staten Island, New York) as well as cash and certain
other assets. The Trust does not intend to make new loans or actively engage in
either the mortgage lending or the property acquisition business.
The Trust's primary objective has been to liquidate its assets in an
eighteen-month period from the date of the Spin-Off Transaction while realizing
the maximum values for such assets; however because the RPS Tax Issues have not
been satisfactorily resolved, the Trust has continued its business beyond such
period. Although the Trust considers its assumptions and estimates as to the
values and timing of such liquidations to be reasonable, the period of time to
liquidate the assets and distribute the proceeds of such assets is subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond the Trust's control. There can be no assurance that the
net values ultimately realized and costs actually incurred for such assets will
not materially differ from the Trust's estimates.
The Trust believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand, proceeds
generated by the real estate property that it owns and operates and proceeds
from the eventual sale of such property will be sufficient to support the Trust
and meet its obligations. As of September 30, 2003, the Trust had approximately
$25,004,000 in cash and short-term investments.
INFLATION
Inflation has been consistently low during the periods presented in the
consolidated financial statements and, as a result, has not had a significant
effect on the operations on the Trust or its investment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As a result of the Trust adopting the liquidation basis of accounting
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America as of May 10, 1996 and thus not reporting results of operations
thereafter, there is no management discussion comparing the corresponding
periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this quarterly report
on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of
and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's
President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective. There were no significant changes made in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Not applicable.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Not applicable.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration
of Trust, the Trust was to continue for a period of 18 months from the date of
the Spin-Off Transaction (which 18-month period ended on November 10, 1997),
subject to, among certain other things, satisfactory resolution of the RPS Tax
Issues. Because the RPS Tax Issues have not yet been satisfactorily resolved,
the Trust has continued its business past that date. The Trust cannot currently
estimate the timing of the future satisfactory resolution of the RPS Tax Issues.
Accordingly, the Trust will continue until there is a final determination of
these issues.
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.
(a) Exhibits.
None.
(b) Reports on Form 8-K.
The registrant has not filed any reports on Form 8-K during the
three-month period ended September 30, 2003.
