Basis of Statement Presentation and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
The consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 1994 and
December 31, 1993 and the related consolidated statements of
operations for the nine month and three month periods ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements of
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments
consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
For a complete description of the Company's other accounting
policies, refer to Avatar Holdings Inc.'s 1993 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and the notes to Avatar's consolidated financial
statements included therein.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts presented for 1993 have been reclassified in
the financial statements for comparative purposes.
Net Income/Loss Per Common Share
For the nine and three months ended September 30, 1994, net
loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares outstanding of 9,095,102.
For the nine and three months ended September 30, 1993, net
income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares outstanding plus common stock
equivalents. On June 29, 1993, the Company redeemed and converted
all of the 5 1/4% convertible-purchase subordinated debentures
into 2,688,276 shares of common stock. As a result of this
redemption and conversion, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1993 of 10,088,688 and 10,081,556, respectively, assumed the
actual conversion occurred at the beginning of the period.
Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities
The cumulative effect of adopting FASB Statement No. 109 --
"Accounting for Income Taxes", and FASB Statement No. 106 --
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions" for Avatar Utilities' subsidiaries was recorded as a
regulatory liability or regulatory asset in accordance with
accounting procedures applicable to regulated enterprises.

Contingencies
Avatar is involved in various pending litigation matters
primarily arising in the normal course of its business. Although
the outcome of these and the following matters cannot be
determined, it is the opinion of management that the resolution
of these matters will not have a material effect on Avatar's
business or financial position.
On October 1, 1993, the United States, on behalf of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, filed a civil action
against a utility subsidiary of Avatar in the U.S. District Court
for the Middle District of Florida. (United States vs. Florida
Cities Water Company, Civil Action No. 93-281-C1). The
complaint alleges that the subsidiary's wastewater treatment
plant in North Fort Myers, Florida, committed various
violations of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. Sect. 1251 et seq.,
including: (1) discharge of pollutants without an operating
permit from October 1, 1988 to October 31, 1989; (2)
discharging from an unpermitted discharge location from November
1, 1989 until July 14, 1992; and (3) discharging pollutants in
excess of permit limitations at various times from July 1991 to
June 1992. The government is seeking the statutory maximum civil
penalties of $25 per day, per violation based upon the
allegations. Based upon the information currently available to
it, Avatar believes that there are mitigating facts as
well as legal defenses that could reduce or eliminate the
imposition of monetary sanctions.
On March 1, 1994, the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (the "Department") sent Avatar notice that the
Department had recently issued a second Record of Decision
("ROD") in connection with the Edgerton Sand & Gravel Landfill
site (the "Site"). The ROD calls for the City of Edgerton's
public water supply system to be extended to the owners of
private wells in the vicinity of the Site. The ROD also states
that other work related to soil and groundwater remedial action
would be required at the Site. The Department demanded that all
potentially responsible parties ("PRPs) associated with the
Site organize into a PRP group to undertake the implementation of
the ROD. Avatar was previously identified as a PRP by the
Department. On November 1, 1994, certain private parties filed a
civil action against Avatar in Rock County
11
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 12
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) --
continued
Circuit Court, Wisconsin. (Alderman, et al vs. Avatar Holdings
Inc., et al, Civil Action Case No. 94 CV 675). The plaintiffs
allege that Avatar and the other named defendants (1) are PRP's
identified by the Department; (2) dumped hazardous substances
which contaminated the groundwater source used by the plaintiffs;
and (3) committed trespass with the contamination. The
plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages,
attorney's fees, costs and other disbursements for bringing the
action and other just and equitable relief. Based upon the
information currently available to it, Avatar believes that it is
not liable for any claims by any government or private parties in
connection with the Site and intends to vigorously defend this
action.
On July 22, 1994, the Company's pending litigation with
Lawrence Wilkov, its former President and Chief Executive
Officer, was settled. Pursuant to the settlement agreement,
among other things, the litigation was dismissed with prejudice,
and his employment relationship with the Company has ended. The
settlement resulted in a charge to operations in the amount of
$486 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and is included
in general and administrative expenses.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (dollars in thousands
except per share data)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operations for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 1994, resulted in a loss before cumulative effect
of change in method of accounting for income taxes of $6,077 and
$2,240 or $.67 and $.25 per share compared to income before
cumulative effect of change in method of accounting for income
taxes of $9,814 and $10,345 or $.98 and $1.03 per share for the
same period of 1993. Operations for the nine and three month
periods ended September 30, 1993 includes the pre-tax gain on the
sale of the Midwest Water Utilities subsidiaries (the
"subsidiaries") of $22,174. Exclusive of the gain on the
subsidiaries sale, income before taxes and the cumulative effect
of change in method of accounting for income taxes resulted in a
loss of $6,077 and $2,240 for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1994, compared to a loss of $1,568 and $1,711 for
the same periods of 1993. The net loss for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1994 totaled $6,077 and $2,240 or $.67
and $.25 per share, compared to net income of $8,850 and $10,345
or $.88 and $1.03 per share, for the same periods of 1993. Net
of the subsidiaries sale, the net loss for the nine months and
three months ended September 30, 1993, totaled $2,824 and $1,329,
respectively. The decline in operating results for the nine and
three month periods ended September 30, 1994, is primarily a
result of the decrease in utility revenues in comparison to the
same period for 1993 due to the sale of the Midwest Water
Utilities which occurred on August 31, 1993. On January 1, 1993,
Avatar adopted FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" which resulted in a cumulative effect loss adjustment
based on the change in method of accounting for income taxes of
$964 or $.10 per share.
Avatar's real estate revenues for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1994, increased $1,197 or 3.9% and $209 or
2.2%, respectively, while real estate expenses increased $1,314
or 4.0% and $145 or 1.3%, respectively, when compared to the same
periods of 1993. The increase in real estate revenues for the
nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1994, is
primarily a result of a bulk land sale. The increase in real
estate expenses for the nine and three months periods ended
September 30, 1994, when compared to the same period of 1993, is
primarily a result of an increase in cost of sales due to the
increase in real estate sales.
Utility revenues, net of the utilities sale, for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1994, decreased $17,614 or 44.9%
and $4,669 or 40.9%, respectively, when compared to the same
periods of 1993, which includes revenues of the subsidiaries sold
on August 31, 1993. Utility expenses for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1994, decreased $10,940 or 38.9% and
$2,871 or 33.7%, respectively, when compared to the same period
of 1993 which includes expenses of the subsidiaries sold on
August 31, 1993. As a result of such sale, utility revenues and
expenses decreased; however, continuing utility revenues and
expenses for the nine months and three months ended September 30,
1994, were comparable to the same period for 1993.
Interest income for the nine and three months ended September
30, 1994, decreased $1,901 or 18.3% and $728 or 20.7%,
respectively, when compared to the same period for 1993. The
decline in interest income is primarily attributable to lower
average aggregate amounts outstanding in the Company's contract
and mortgage notes receivable portfolio. Avatar's contracts and
mortgage notes receivable portfolio amounted to $104,823 at
September 30, 1994, compared to $123,635 at September 30, 1993.

September 30, 1994, of $1,750 and $589, respectively, represents
interest income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
related to the investment portfolio, net of commissions payable
to brokers. These investments were acquired during the fourth
quarter of 1993.
General and administrative expenses for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1994, increased $1,437 or 22.4% and
$414 or 20.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods of
1993. These increases are primarily attributable to an increase
in professional fees, an increase in the accrual for incentive
compensation and the financial settlement of a lawsuit.
Interest expense for the nine and three months ended September
30, 1994, decreased $3,842 or 31.2% and $1,611 or 42.9%,
respectively, compared to the same period of 1993. The decrease
is primarily attributable to the capitalization of interest
associated with development and construction costs of an Avatar
project of approximately $1,180 and an overall decrease in the
outstanding balance of notes, mortgage notes and other debt as a
result of the sale of the Midwest Water Utilities.
Other expense for the nine and three months ended September
30, 1994 decreased $451 or 42.5% and $138 or 40.5%, respectively,
compared to the same period of 1993. This is primarily
attributable to the decrease in preferred stock dividends of
subsidiaries due to the sale of the utilities subsidiaries.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Avatar's primary business activities, which include housing,
vacation ownership and retail land sales, land development,
resort operations and utility services, are capital intensive in
nature. Avatar expects to fund its operations and capital
requirements through a combination of cash and investment
securities on hand, operating cash flows and external borrowings.
Avatar has approximately $53,472 in investments which are
classified as trading. The Company intends to continue to
actively trade such securities in an effort to generate profits
and will reinvest such profits until such time as the Company's
cash requirements necessitate the use or partial use of the
portfolio proceeds.
A portion of the investment portfolio collateralizes a $30,000
line of credit which had an outstanding balance at September 30,
1994, of $24,500 and will mature during the fourth quarter of
1994. Avatar is in the process of securing an extension or
refinancing of its maturing bank and credit lines; however, there
can be no assurance that Avatar will be able to do so.
