See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 ATLANTIC GULF COMMUNITIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1999 (unaudited) (1) The September 30, 1999 financial statements are unaudited. In management's opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, principally consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For a complete description of the Company's accounting policies, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, as amended by that certain Amendment to Form 10-K on Form 10-K/A-1, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 30, 1999 ("1998 Form 10-K"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation. (2) Net income (loss) per share of common stock, $.10 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), is computed by (a) deducting accrued preferred stock dividends, accretion of preferred stock to redemption amount and other preferred stock charges from net income (loss) to determine net income (loss) applicable to Common Stock and (b) then dividing net income (loss) applicable to Common Stock by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the periods. The effect of any outstanding warrants and options to purchase Common Stock on the per share computation was anti-dilutive during the periods. (3) The Company capitalizes interest primarily on land inventory being developed for sale which is subsequently charged to income when the related asset is sold. Capitalized interest was $6,113,000 and $16,310,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, and $3,199,000 and $8,595,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively. (4) Revenue from the sale of land is recognized when all the criteria for sales pursuant to SFAS 66, ACCOUNTING FOR SALES OF REAL ESTATE, have been met. (5) Pursuant to the Company's 1996 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan, the Company issued to its Non-Employee Directors 30,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.75 per share for the first quarter of 1999, 13,212 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.70 per share for the second quarter of 1999, and 36,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.63 per share for the third quarter of 1999. On August 4, 1999, the Company amended the 1996 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan to eliminate the issuance of Common Stock to its Non-Employee Directors effective as of October 1, 1999 and to provide for the payment of (1) an annual retainer fee of $25,000 payable quarterly in advance in $6,250.00 installments, in cash, to each Non-Employee Director other than Mr. Rutherford, Mr. Gropper and the "Apollo Directors", and (2) an annual retainer fee of $10,000 payable quarterly in advance in $2,500.00 installments, in cash, to Mr. Gropper (for so long as he is a Non-Employee Director) and the Apollo Directors. For purposes of the Stock Plan, "Apollo Directors" are the Non-Employee Directors appointed by AP-AGC, LLC pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Investment Agreement dated as of February 7, 1997, as amended. 5 ATLANTIC GULF COMMUNITIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1999 (unaudited) (6) The Company and AP-AGC, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate Advisors, L.P. ("Apollo"), are parties to that certain Investment Agreement, as amended (the "Investment Agreement"), pursuant to which Apollo purchased during 1998 (a) 2.5 million shares of 20% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock") for an aggregate purchase price of $24.7 million ($9.88 per share) and (b) warrants to purchase up to 5 million shares of Common Stock (the "Investor Warrants"), for an aggregate purchase price of $0.3 million ($.06 per Investor Warrant share) (the "Apollo Transaction"). 6 ATLANTIC GULF COMMUNITIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1999 (unaudited) (7) Redeemable preferred stock (which includes the Series A Preferred Stock and the 20% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred Stock")) consisted of the following at September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998 (in thousands of dollars):

8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE DISCUSSION OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS IN THE SECTIONS BELOW ENTITLED "CURRENT BUSINESS," "CORE BUSINESS" AND "PREDECESSOR ASSETS" SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DISCUSSION OF THE COMPANY'S CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING AND STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES INITIATIVE IN THE SECTION BELOW ENTITLED "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS." CURRENT BUSINESS The Company is a Florida-based, planned community development and asset management company. The Company's CORE BUSINESS consists of: - PRIMARY MARKET OPERATIONS, consisting of the acquisition, development and sale of real estate projects ("PRIMARY PROJECTS") containing residential homesite components such as single-family lots, multi-family lots/units and residential tract sales ("HOMESITES") and/or non-residential components such as commercial, industrial, office and institutional ("COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT") in primary markets in Florida and other selected primary markets in the southeastern United States ("PRIMARY MARKETS"). - LUXURY/RESORT OPERATIONS, consisting of the acquisition, development and sale of real estate projects ("LUXURY/RESORT PROJECTS") in which the Company engages in one or more of the following activities: Homesite development, construction of VERTICAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS (i.e., single family housing, condominiums and timeshare units), and construction and operation of equity golf clubs and other amenities ("AMENITIES"). The Company's existing Luxury/Resort Projects are located in selected markets in Florida and Colorado ("LUXURY/RESORT MARKETS"). The Company's (1) Primary Markets and Luxury/Resort Markets are referred to as its "CORE MARKETS" and (2) Primary Projects and Luxury/Resort Projects are referred to as its "CORE PROJECTS." - OTHER OPERATIONS, consisting principally of: -- ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, consisting of the provision of environmental services to third parties on a contract basis; and -- RECEIVABLES PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, consisting of portfolio management of MORTGAGE RECEIVABLES (as defined below) and CONTRACT RECEIVABLES (as defined below) resulting principally from the sale or other disposition of PREDECESSOR ASSETS (as defined below). As of September 30, 1999, the Company (1) owned all of the equity, or had equity ownership interests in joint ventures which owned all of the equity, in 11 Core Projects, consisting of eight Primary Projects and three Luxury/Resort Projects and (2) had three additional planned Primary Projects under control, excluding the Rayland project, which the Company no longer intends to acquire. The 11 existing Core Projects and three planned Primary Projects are referred to as the Company's "CORE DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO." 9 The Board of Directors made the decision in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 (1) to further reduce its overhead costs, (2) to further reduce its staffing and to eliminate additional senior management positions, (3) to replace its President and Chief Executive Officer, (4) to terminate its headquarters lease in Miami, Florida, and to relocate its offices to Boca Raton, Florida, by December 1, 1999, (5) to begin selling Core Projects in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, (6) to use the net proceeds from such sales (after payment of transaction costs) to repay Project indebtedness and, to the extent of remaining net proceeds, to repay the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility, in that order, (7) to focus its attention on the development, build-out and sale of units at its two Luxury/Resort Projects, West Bay Club and Chenoa, and continue to facilitate the orderly disposition of scattered PREDECESSOR HOMESITES (as defined below) and PREDECESSOR TRACTS (as defined below) located in secondary markets in Florida and Tennessee (collectively, "PREDECESSOR ASSETS") and its Receivable Portfolio (as defined below) and (8) to write down the carrying values of its Lakeside Estates Project, its Saxon Woods Project, its Trails of West Frisco Project and its West Meadows Project by $3.4 million, $1.3 million, $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. As discussed below, the continuing disposition of Predecessor Assets is a run-off business and not part of the Company's Core Business. See "Recent Developments" below. CORE BUSINESS GENERAL. The Company's Core Business consists of three principal business lines, (1) development and sale of Primary Projects, (2) development and sale of Luxury/Resort Projects and (3) Other Operations, principally including Environmental Services and Receivables Portfolio Management. See PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. PRIMARY PROJECTS. As of September 30, 1999, the Company was engaged in the acquisition, development and sale of Primary Projects in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Texas. See PART I, ITEM 1. BUSINESS - CORE BUSINESS -- PRIMARY PROJECTS of the 1998 Amended Form 10-K for more information concerning these Projects, including the scope and location of each Project. 10 REMAINING UNSOLD LOTS/UNITS/ACRES IN THE PRIMARY PROJECTS, BY PROJECT. The following table summarizes the number of remaining unsold lots/units/acres at the Company's Primary Projects, by Project, as of September 30, 1999:

(1) Varying from Project to Project, unsold units are developed, under development or to be developed in the future. The change in remaining unsold lots/units/acres from December 31, 1998 is a result of sales activity and any modifications made to the scope of the Project during the intervening period. (2) "Entitled" means having the necessary discretionary local, state, and federal government approvals and permits to proceed with development of the Project.

(1) Included in "other expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. OVERVIEW. The Company reported a net loss applicable to Common Stock of $45.6 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to a net loss of $7.1 million applicable to Common Stock in the first nine months of 1998. The increase in the net loss of $38.5 million was due primarily to (1) a $5.9 million decrease in gross margin on real estate sales, (2) a $1.7 million decrease in other operating revenue, (3) a $2.1 million decrease in interest income, (4) inventory valuation reserves of $11.3 million, (5) a $1.7 million increase in operating expense, (6) a $2.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses, (7) a $5.8 million increase in other expense, (8) a decrease of $4.5 million in other income, and (9) a $4.1 million increase in preferred stock charges, partially offset by (10) a $1.1 million decrease in real estate costs. PRIMARY MARKET OPERATIONS. HOMESITES. Revenues from Homesite sales increased $7.9 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998 due primarily to sales at The Trails of West Frisco Project. There were no sales at The Trails of West Frisco Project in the first nine months of 1998. The Homesite sales gross margin percentage was 9.3% in the first nine months of 1999 compared to 14.7% in the first nine months of 1998. The lower Homesite sales gross margin percentage in the first nine months of 1999 16 compared to the first nine months of 1998 was due primarily to a decline in the gross margin associated with the Lakeside Estates Project due to an increase in the estimated cost to complete that Project in 1998, resulting in less than break-even margins for the remainder of the Lakeside Estates Project. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had under contract approximately 792 Homesites for $23.6 million with 14 homebuilders in the Lakeside Estates Project, the Saxon Woods Project, the West Meadows Project and The Trails of West Frisco Project. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had under contract approximately 650 Homesites for $19.8 million with 11 homebuilders in the Lakeside Estates Project, the Saxon Woods Project, the West Meadows Project and The Trails of West Frisco Project. And, as of September 30, 1998, the Company had under contract approximately 817 Homesites for $28.3 million with 13 homebuilders in the Lakeside Estates Project, the Saxon Woods Project, the West Meadows Project and The Trails of West Frisco Project. The Company is a party to a contract to sell its interest in the Harbor Bay Project. The closing of the sale, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, is scheduled for December 10, 1999. Inventory valuation reserve charges of $7.9 million were recognized in the third quarter of 1999 and represent a reduction in the carrying value of the Company's inventory based upon a review of the fair values of various homesite projects. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. Revenues from Commercial Development were $12.5 million in the first nine months of 1999, compared to $35.3 million in the first nine months of 1998. In September 1999, the Company closed on the sale of the remaining property in the Riverwalk Towers Project for $8.0 million. In January 1999, the Company closed on the sale of the West Meadows Project for $4.5 million. In April 1998, the Company sold and closed Dave's Creek for $24.8 million. In June 1998, the Company sold a portion of the Riverwalk Towers Project for $7.0 million. JOINT VENTURES. Results of Joint Ventures decreased by $3.3 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. This was primarily associated with an investment valuation reserve charge of $1.7 million. During 1998, the Sunset Lakes Project commenced operations resulting in initial sales to all the builders. The comparable period in 1999 represents results of operations from more normalized sales volumes. As of September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, the Company's Sunset Lakes and Falcon Trace JV Projects had 504, 787 and 885 Homesites under contract, respectively, totaling approximately $24.7 million, $37.3 million and $41.0 million, respectively, in future gross revenue, a portion of which is allocable to the Company as a joint venturer. The Company's interest in the Sunset Lakes Project is currently under contract. The closing of the sale at a profit, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, is scheduled for November 15,1999. Investment valuation reserve charges of $1.7 million were recognized in the third quarter of 1999 and represent a reduction in the carrying value of the Company's joint venture investments based upon a review of the fair values of various joint venture projects. 17 LUXURY/RESORT OPERATIONS. ------------------------- HOMESITES. Homesite sales began at the West Bay Club Project during the first nine months of 1999. Because the West Bay Club Project was still under development as of September 30, 1998, there were no sales at the West Bay Club Project in the first nine months of 1998. As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had under contract approximately 180 and 12 Homesites for $9.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, with 7 homebuilders in the West Bay Club Project. There were no pending sales contracts at the West Bay Club Project as of September 30, 1998. JOINT VENTURES. Results of Joint Ventures in the first nine months of 1999 decreased $4.5 million compared to the first nine months of 1998 due to increased marketing related expenses associated with the Jupiter Ocean Grande Project start-up and an investment valuation reserve charge of $4.4 million recognized in the third quarter of 1999 representing a reduction in the carrying value of the Company's joint venture investments in Jupiter Ocean Grande based upon a review of the fair values of the joint venture project. PREDECESSOR ASSETS. ------------------- PREDECESSOR HOMESITES. Revenues from Predecessor Homesite sales increased $364,000 in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998 due primarily to the sale of 75 Predecessor Homesites in the Sable Trace Project. There were only nominal sales in the Sable Trace Project in the first nine months of 1998 due to Project start-up. Other Predecessor Homesites sales declined in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the number of Predecessor Homesites sold in the first nine months of 1998 consistent with continued portfolio run-off. The Predecessor Homesite sales gross margin percentage was 12.3% in the first nine months of 1999 compared to 11.6% in the first nine months of 1998. This percentage is consistent with the Company's plan of disposal of its Predecessor Assets. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had under contract approximately 16 Predecessor Homesites for $198,000. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had under contract 2 commercial lots allocated to Predecessor Homesites for $99,000. And, as of September 30, 1998, the Company had under contract approximately 54 Predecessor Homesites for $226,000. PREDECESSOR TRACTS. Revenues from Predecessor Tract sales decreased $14.1 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998 due primarily to fewer sales from a declining inventory balance. As of September 30, 1999, there were pending Predecessor Tract sales contracts or letters of intent totaling approximately $1.8 million. As of December 31, 1998, there were pending Predecessor Tract sales contracts or letters of intent totaling approximately $980,000. And, as of September 30, 1998, there were pending Predecessor Tract sales contracts or letters of intent totaling approximately $4.3 million. The 18.3% Predecessor Tract sales gross margin percentage in the first nine months of 1999 is due to significantly fewer sales on more profitable terms. The 4.5% Predecessor Tract sales gross margin percentage in the first nine months of 1998 is generally more consistent with the Company's plan of disposal for Predecessor Assets. 18 OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ---------------------------- INVENTORY VALUATION RESERVES. Inventory valuation reserve charges of $3.4 million were recognized in the second quarter of 1999 and $7.9 million in the third quarter of 1999 and represent a reduction in the carrying value of the Company's inventory based upon a review of the fair values. OTHER OPERATING REVENUE. Other operating revenue decreased by $1.7 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. The decrease was due to a $1.0 million settlement received in 1998. INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased by $2.1 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. The decrease was due to discounts offered to borrowers to induce prepayment of their mortgages for liquidity purposes, as well as normal Contract Receivables and Mortgage Receivables portfolio run-off. OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense increased by $1.7 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. The increase was primarily due to losses incurred with start-up operations in connection with the Amenities at the West Bay Club Project in 1998. REAL ESTATE COSTS. Real estate costs decreased by $1.1 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. The decrease was due to marketing and advertising expenses associated with the opening of the West Bay Club Project. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. General and administrative expense increased $2.8 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998 due primarily to (1) expenses of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors associated with the Company's strategic alternatives initiative, including the retention of BT Alex. Brown, (2) certain corporate restructuring expenses, including severance costs, lease restructuring expenses and other similar costs and expenses, (3) employee bonuses, including the stock component of bonuses issued to certain executives effective March 15, 1999 and (4) forgiveness of debt costs and other costs associated with the employment termination agreement for the Company's prior President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company cancelled a nonrecourse loan previously made to the President and Chief Executive Officer and the stock purchased with the proceeds of the loan was returned to the Company. OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense increased by $5.9 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998 primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded on the Company's investment in Joint Ventures based upon a review of fair values. OTHER INCOME. Other income decreased by $4.5 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.8 million utility trust payout in September 1998. PREFERRED STOCK CHARGES. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company recorded a $9.2 million accrual for dividends associated with its Preferred Stock. The dividends were accumulated, but unpaid, as of September 30, 1999. The dividend rate is 20% of the liquidation preference value of the Preferred Stock. The liquidation preference value of the Preferred Stock is $10 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock was $67.8 million, $58.6 million and $55.8 million as of September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998, respectively. The Company accreted $1.0 million of the value of its Preferred Stock to the redemption amount in the first nine months of 1999. 19
In connection with the closing of the new Senior Loan Facilities in February 1999, the Company issued notes totaling $1.85 million and 500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.06 per share to AP-AGC, LLC ("APOLLO") in exchange for Apollo's (a) consent to the Company entering into the new Senior Loan Facilities and agreement to subordinate its collateral interest in certain of the Company's assets, (b) agreement to certain amendments to the Secured Agreement and Investment Agreement and (c) agreement to enter into the new Intercreditor Agreement with the lenders party to the new Senior Loan Facilities. The total value of the consideration paid to Apollo was $2.4 million. The total of approximately $12.7 million of preferred stock charges was charged to contributed capital in the accompanying September 30, 1999 consolidated balance sheet. 20 COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's results of operations for its Core Business and Predecessor Assets for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are summarized below: Combining Results of Real Estate Operations ------------------------------------------- Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 (in thousands) Primary Luxury/ Market Resort Predecessor Operations Operations Assets Total ---------------------------------------------------------- Revenues: Real estate sales Homesite.............................. $ 5,265 $ - $ 803 $ 6,068 Commercial............................ 8,000 - 1,087 9,087 ---------------------------------------------------------- Total real estate sales.................. 13,265 - 1,890 15,155 ---------------------------------------------------------- Costs and expenses: Cost of real estate sales Homesite.............................. 4,881 (90) 733 5,524 Commercial............................ 7,084 - 1,019 8,103 ---------------------------------------------------------- Total cost of real estate sales............. 11,965 (90) 1,752 13,627 ---------------------------------------------------------- Gross margin real estate sales ............. $ 1,300 $ 90 $ 138 $ 1,528 ========================================================== Results of Joint Venture Operations(1)...... $ (1,512) $ (4,496) $ - $ (6,008) ==========================================================

The Homesite sales gross margin percentage was 7.3% in the third quarter of 1999 compared to 15.4% in the third quarter of 1998. The lower Homesite sales gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 1999 was due primarily to a decline in the gross margin associated with the Lakeside Estates Project due to an increase in the estimated cost to complete that Project. 22 COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. In the third quarter of 1999, the Company closed on the sale of the remaining property in the Riverwalk Towers Project for $8.0 million. In the third quarter of 1998, the Company received additional sales proceeds on the Dave's Creek property upon receipt of an Army Corp of Engineers permit. JOINT VENTURES. Results of Joint Ventures decreased by $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998. This decrease was primarily associated with an investment valuation reserve charge of $1.7 million relating to various joint venture projects. During 1998, the Sunset Lakes Project commenced operations resulting in initial sales to all the builders. The comparable period in 1999 represents results of operations for more normalized sales volumes. LUXURY/RESORT OPERATIONS. ------------------------- HOMESITES.

Revenues from Predecessor Tract sales decreased $1.9 million in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998 due primarily to fewer sales from a declining inventory balance. The 6.3% Predecessor Tract sales gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the 12.7% Predecessor Tract sales gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 1998 is generally more consistent with the Company's plan of disposal of Predecessor Assets. OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ---------------------------- INVENTORY VALUATION RESERVES. Inventory valuation reserve charges of $7.9 million were recognized in the third quarter of 1999 and represent a reduction in the carrying value of the Company's inventory based upon a review of their fair values. OTHER OPERATING REVENUE. Other operating revenue decreased by $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998. This decrease was due to a realized gain on the assignment of a real estate purchase agreement in the third quarter of 1998 for a residential project located in the Orlando, Florida area. There was no comparable sales in 1999. INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased by $610,000 in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998.

OPERATING EXPENSE. Operating expense increased by $586,000 in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998. The increase was primarily due to losses incurred with start-up operations in connection with the Amenities at the West Bay Club Project. REAL ESTATE COSTS.

General and administrative expense increased $183,000 in the third quarter of 1999 compared to the third quarter of 1998 due primarily to further corporate restructuring expenses, including severance costs, lease restructuring expenses and other similar costs and expenses partially offset by savings from the restructuring program. OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense increased by $5.9 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998 primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded on the Company's investment in Joint Ventures based upon a review of fair values.

The decrease was primarily due to a $3.8 million utility trust payout in September 1998. PREFERRED STOCK CHARGES. During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $3.2 million accrual for dividends associated with its Preferred Stock. The dividends were accumulated but unpaid as of September 30, 1999.

The liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock was $67.8 million, $58.6 million and $55.8 million, respectively, as of September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998. The Company accreted $350,000 of the value of its Preferred Stock to the redemption amount in the third quarter of 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES GENERAL. As of September 30, 1999, the Company's (1) cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $2.9 million and (2) restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.2 million, consisting primarily of (a) escrows for the sale or development of real estate properties, (b) funds held in trust to pay certain bankruptcy claims and (c) various other escrow accounts. Of the $6.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first nine months of 1999, (i) $14.3 million was used in operating activities and (ii) $2.3 million was used in investing activities, partially offset by (iii) $10.1 million provided by financing activities. 24 Cash used in operating activities included approximately (1) $7.6 million for interest payments, (2) $3.1 million for property tax payments, (3) $11.0 million for construction and development expenditures and (4) $5.2 million of fees associated with the Company's refinancing efforts. Cash used in operating activities was offset in part by net cash generated from real estate sales and other operations. Cash used in investing activities consisted of $2.3 million of property, plant and equipment additions. Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of net borrowings of $10.1 million under various project financings and the new Senior Loan Facilities, which were funded on February 2, 1999. SENIOR LOAN FACILITIES. Dated as of December 31, 1998, and effective on February 2, 1999, Atlantic Gulf closed on its new $39.5 million Revolving Loan Facility and its new $26.5 million Term Loan Facility (collectively, the "SENIOR LOAN FACILITIES"). The Revolving Loan Facility commitment decreased by $4.0 million on March 31, 1999 and an additional $1.0 million on May 31, 1999. Amounts outstanding (1) under the Revolving Loan Facility bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 11% per annum and (2) under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 15% per annum. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding (a) $27.0 million under its Revolving Loan Facility and (b) $26.5 million under its Term Loan Facility. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENT - SENIOR LOAN AMENDMENTS" below for discussion of the covenant defaults under the Senior Loan Facilities that existed as of September 30, 1999, and which will be waived and/or cured by the parties pending payment of the waiver fees, as the case may be, in the Revolving Loan Amendment and the Term Loan Amendment. WEST FRISCO PROJECT FINANCING. On March 31, 1999, West Frisco Development Corporation ("WFDC"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlantic Gulf, borrowed $7.0 million from Anglo American Financial (the "ANGLO AMERICAN FACILITY"). The Anglo American Facility (1) is a full recourse obligation of WFDC, secured by a deed of trust on the West Frisco Project, (2) matures on December 31, 1999, (3) bears interest at the rate of 1.75% per month and (4) requires payments of interest only (monthly in arrears) until maturity. Atlantic Gulf has guaranteed the Anglo American Facility. In addition, there is a senior revolving development loan with approximately $3.4 million outstanding as of September 30, 1999 which matures December 1, 1999. The Company is in discussions with both lenders regarding extensions of the maturity date of both loans. CHENOA PROJECT FINANCING. Chenoa, formerly known as Aspen Springs Ranch, is the Company's 5,906-acre Luxury Resort Project located in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. The Company was unable to obtain approval of its pending amendment to the existing PUD for the project (the "PUD Approval") within the time limits set forth in its development loan agreement. The senior lender notified the Company that it was in default under the terms of its agreement and ceased funding. Neither the senior lender nor the mezzanine lender have pursued any remedies to date. The Company continues to pursue the PUD Approval, and the Company is funding Project costs out of cash flow and other Company funds. 25 OTHER MATERIAL OBLIGATIONS COMING DUE IN 1999. Atlantic Gulf's other material obligations for the remainder of 1999 consist primarily of approximately $11 million of planned expenditures for development, construction and other capital improvements, a substantial portion of which will be funded through individual project development loans. The balance of such expenditures for operating projects are funded from the parent Company. If development financing ceases or if the Company is unable to obtain capital resources to fund ongoing obligations and expenditures, the implementation of the business plan will be adversely affected. However, management believes that the Company, through a combination of sources, will be able to obtain the funds necessary to continue to implement its business plan and, at the same time, satisfy its debt obligations as they become due. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES INITIATIVE. On March 26, 1999, the Company publicly announced that (1) its Board of Directors had formed a Special Committee to explore strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value and (2) it had retained BT Alex. Brown, a leading investment banking firm, to assist the Special Committee in reviewing strategic alternatives. The Company has explored, and is continuing to explore, with interested third parties various strategic alternative transactions, including, but not limited to, (1) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's stock and/or assets, and/or (2) a management agreement/arrangement. The Company is no longer exploring a merger, consolidation or other business combination, a joint venture or strategic alliance, and/or a corporate recapitalization, as previously reported. At this time the Company is focusing its efforts primarily on selling Predecessor Assets and Core Projects (other than Chenoa and West Bay Club) with the intent of using the net proceeds from such sales (after payment of transaction costs) to repay Project indebtedness and, to the extent of remaining net proceeds, to repay the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility, in that order. While the Company is actively and diligently pursuing all strategic alternative transaction opportunities, there can be no assurance that such a transaction will be consummated. CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM. On July 2, 1999, the Company publicly announced its corporate restructuring program. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had eliminated 29 positions (not including Mr. Rutherford's position), or approximately 17% of its December 31, 1998 workforce, as part of a restructuring program aimed at returning the Company to profitability and realigning its overhead costs with its operating revenues. Since September 30, 1999, the Company has eliminated another 4 positions and expects to eliminate an additional 45 positions by year end. During 1999, the Company expects the net number of full-time employees to be reduced from 166 to 98 or approximately 41% of its December 31, 1998 workforce. 26 Since July 1, 1999, the Company has eliminated certain additional senior management positions and consolidated the responsibilities of the eliminated positions with ongoing positions. The Company intends to eliminate certain additional senior management positions on or before December 31, 1999. Specifically, the Company (1) eliminated the Vice President-Controller position as of September 30, 1999 and the Senior Vice President-Business Development position as of October 1, 1999, (2) intends to eliminate the Senior Vice President-Finance position, the Senior Vice President-General Counsel position, the Senior Vice President-Development position, and the Vice President-Treasurer position on or before December 1, 1999, (3) intends to eliminate the Vice President-Human Resources position on or before December 31, 1999, and (4) has or will reassign the duties formerly performed by these officers to other employees of the Company. The Company is continuing to review its overall staffing needs (both at the management level and below) with a view to further reducing its headcount, eliminating redundancies, consolidating positions, further streamlining management and realizing further cost savings, when and where possible. On August 30, 1999, the Company entered into an employment termination agreement with Mr. J. Larry Rutherford (Mr. Rutherford's "EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION AGREEMENT") pursuant to which Mr. Rutherford's employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates terminated, without cause, effective as of August 17, 1999. And, on August 18, 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Richard Ackerman, pursuant to which Mr. Ackerman was appointed to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of August 17, 1999 (Mr. Ackerman's "EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT"). Since then, Mr. Ackerman has been appointed as an officer and a director of all of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company is reducing, where possible, other direct and indirect overhead costs. For example, during the third quarter of 1999 the Company consolidated all of its headquarter operations on one floor at its corporate headquarters in Miami, Florida. Since September 30, 1999, the Company has entered into a lease termination agreement with the landlord for the corporate headquarters space. The Company expects to vacate its Miami headquarters space, and relocate its headquarters to Boca Raton, Florida by December 1, 1999. Through September 30, 1999, the corporate restructuring program cost approximately $2.8 million in severance and other one-time corporate restructuring related costs. The Company recorded approximately $340,000 of these costs in the first quarter of 1999 and the remainder in the third quarter of 1999. The Company expects to incur additional corporate restructuring costs in the fourth quarter of 1999 and subsequent periods, which the Company will record in the quarter incurred, when and as the amount of such additional corporate restructuring costs becomes known. While the Company anticipates that its corporate restructuring program will significantly reduce its operating costs, there can be no assurance that such program, by itself, will return the Company to profitability. 27 BUSINESS STRATEGY. At the same time that it continues to explore strategic alternatives and implement its corporate restructuring program, the Company is pursuing a two-pronged business strategy of (1) carrying on its Core Business (i.e., planning, development, marketing and sales of Homesites and Vertical Residential Units in its existing Core Development Portfolio) and (2) actively seeking opportunities to sell, in bulk, its Core Projects other than its West Bay Club and Chenoa Projects, both of which are still in the early development stage. Predecessor Assets will continue to be sold in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that sales of its Core Projects will significantly reduce corporate overhead. The Company intends to use the cash proceeds from any such sales (after payment of transaction costs and Project indebtedness) to fund operations and pay down its non-Project corporate level indebtedness. Senior management and the Board of Directors (the "BOARD") will continue (1) to use commercially reasonable efforts to close the sale transactions currently under contract and (2) to evaluate any other offers the Company receives for its Core Projects and Predecessor Assets based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the aggregate price and other terms offered by the purchaser, the timing of the closing of the sale, contingencies to closing, the impact of the sale on the remaining operations of the Company, the impact of the sale on the value of the Company's remaining assets to a prospective purchaser of the entire Company and such other factors as senior management and the Board deem relevant at the time of receipt of an offer, including the specific course of action, they believe, will maximize stockholder value. As of November 10, 1999, the Company had under contract the Sunset Lakes Project and the Harbor Bay Project and has received offers to purchase the Lakeside Estates Project, West Meadows Project, The Trails of West Frisco Project, the Falcon Trace Project, the Jupiter Ocean Grande Project, and the Baxter Martinez Project. While the Company intends to diligently pursue all Project sale opportunities, there can be no assurance that any such sales (including Projects currently under contract) will be consummated or, if consummated, that the Company will realize the anticipated (1) amount of sales proceeds therefrom and/or (2) overhead cost savings therefrom. SENIOR LOAN AMENDMENTS. As of September 30, 1999, the Company was not in compliance with (1) the Minimum Consolidated Net Worth covenant and the Deviation from Business Plan covenant in the Revolving Loan Agreement and (2) the Minimum Consolidated Net Worth covenant and the Maximum Permissible Amount definition in the Term Loan Agreement. Effective as of June 30, 1999, (a) the Company, the Revolving Loan Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent entered into that certain First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement (the "REVOLVING LOAN AMENDMENT") and (b) the Company, the Term Loan Facility Agent and the Collateral Agent entered into that certain Waiver and First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement (the "TERM LOAN AMENDMENT")(collectively, the "SENIOR LOAN AMENDMENTS"). In the Senior Loan Amendments, the parties (i) amended the Minimum Consolidated Net Worth and Deviation from Business Plan covenants in both the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility, (ii) modified the Borrowing Base definition in the Revolving Loan Facility and (iii) modified the Gross Allowed Amount and Maximum Permissible Loan definitions in the Term Loan Facility. As a result, upon payment by the Company of all amendment and waiver fees the Company will be in compliance with the terms of its Senior Loan Facilities, and the previous defaults existing thereunder since June 30, 1999, will be cured and/or waived by the parties. 28 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Except as provided below, there were no new developments since March 31, 1999, with respect to the legal proceedings referenced in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, as amended by that certain Amendment to Form 10-K on Form 10-K/A-1, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 30, 1999 (the "1998 Amended Form 10-K"). REGENCY ISLAND DUNES PROJECT. The Company and Regency Island Dunes, Inc. ("Regency") continue to work with the Regency Island Dunes Condominium Association ("Association") to resolve this matter. To date, no lawsuit has been filed, and the Company and Regency are optimistic that this dispute can be resolved without litigation. CARY GLEN PROJECT. On or about August 25, 1999, Panther Creek-Raleigh Limited Partnership (the "Owner") filed suit against Atlantic Gulf and Panther Creek Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlantic Gulf (the "Developer"), claiming that Developer and Atlantic Gulf are liable for future potential project cost overruns in the amount of $5,400,000 and consequential damages to the project resulting from Developer's alleged delays and misrepresentations in the approximate amount of $15 million. Atlantic Gulf and Developer have filed their answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims against Owner, and Atlantic Gulf will continue to vigorously defend the claims asserted against it and Developer. SESSIONS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION V. ATLANTIC GULF COMMUNITIES CORPORATION; LAS OLAS TOWER AT RIVER WALK, INC., APOLLO REAL ESTATE ADVISORS, L.P., SPRING VALLEY HOLDING COMPANY. On November 1, 1997, Sessions Development Corporation ("Sessions") and Las Olas Tower at Riverwalk, Inc. ("LOTR"), a second tier subsidiary of Atlantic Gulf, entered into a Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement"), whereby Sessions agreed (i) to be responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the construction of buildings, all sales, marketing and leasing efforts in connection with the potential development of an apartment building on a portion of the property owned by LOTR, and all other on-site management functions, and (ii) to provide consultation as needed in connection with the evaluation and furtherance of the Company's other business opportunities. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Sessions' compensation included (i) a retainer fee of $13,500 per month, and (ii) a profit participation in an amount equal to 12.5% of LOTR's net pre-tax profits generated from the development of the apartment project, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Consulting Agreement. In September, 1999, LOTR sold the apartment site, without developing the same. Furthermore, at the request of the Company, Sessions previously performed certain consulting services with respect to the Company's acquisition of the Chenoa Project located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The Company does not have a separate consulting agreement with Sessions concerning the Chenoa Project. On September 29, 1999, Sessions filed a complaint against Atlantic Gulf, LOTR, Apollo Real Estate Advisors, L.P. ("Apollo") and Spring Valley Holding Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlantic Gulf ("Spring Valley"), in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County, Florida, claiming (i) breach of the Consulting Agreement by LOTR for failure to pay an amount equal to 9 months of the retainer fee and $3 million of profit participation, (ii) tortious interference with the Consulting Agreement by Apollo, (iii) tortious interference with an advantageous business relationship by Apollo, (iv) unjust enrichment by Atlantic Gulf and Spring Valley with respect to the Chenoa Project based upon Sessions' allegation that Sessions is entitled to profit participations, commissions and other compensation in connection therewith, and 29 (v) fraudulent conveyances by Spring Valley to Atlantic Gulf of income and profits generated from the Chenoa Project. The Company believes that the foregoing claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the same. THE COY A. CLARK COMPANY V. ATLANTIC GULF COMMUNITIES CORPORATION. On August 13, 1997, Atlantic Gulf and The Coy A. Clark Company ("Clark") entered into a Development Management Agreement (the "Development Management Agreement") to provide certain development consulting services in connection with a project known as Waterford Trails. Atlantic Gulf never acquired the Waterford Trails Project. Clark has provided Atlantic Gulf with invoices totalling approximately $150,000 claimed to be due under the Development Management Agreement, and Atlantic Gulf does not believe that Clark is entitled to such payments. On or about August 31, 1999, Clark filed a complaint against Atlantic Gulf in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, Orange County, Florida, claiming that Atlantic Gulf breached the Development Management Agreement by failing to pay Clark the amounts due thereunder. Atlantic Gulf has retained outside counsel and intends to vigorously defend the claim. In addition to the legal proceedings specifically referenced in the 1998 Amended Form 10-K (as updated above) and the other legal proceedings described herein, the Company is, from time to time, involved in other litigation matters primarily arising in the normal course of its business. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of these other litigation matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial position. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES In accordance with the terms of Mr. Rutherford's Employment Termination Agreement, the Company canceled Mr. Rutherford's $600,000 nonrecourse promissory note and, in exchange therefore, Mr. Rutherford returned to the Company the 282,352 shares of Common Stock that he purchased with the proceeds of such note. In addition, the Company agreed to cancel Mr. Rutherford's two $199,000 recourse promissory notes on December 31, 2000, if Mr. Rutherford is not in breach of his Employment Termination Agreement as of that date and, at the time of such cancellation, Mr. Rutherford has agreed to return to Atlantic Gulf the shares of Common Stock that he purchased with the proceeds of such notes.
