DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN

     Atlantic Gulf has a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Retirement Plan")
that  covers  most  employees  who met certain  requirements  regarding  age and
service before December 31, 1990. The Retirement Plan was amended in 1990 to fix
benefits  and service  accruals as of December  31, 1990.  The  following  table
reflects  estimated  annual benefits  payable on retirement under the Retirement
Plan in the form of a life annuity.  Because credited service ceased in 1990 and
none of Atlantic Gulf's executive officers has 15 years of credited service, the
table does not display more than 15 years. Benefits payable under the Retirement
Plan are subject to certain  limitations  imposed by the Code,  and  benefits in
certain situations may be subject to offsets for Social Security.

     Because of the 1990  amendment to the  Retirement  Plan,  of the  executive
officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, only Mr. Fertig is entitled to
participate in the Retirement  Plan. His credited  service is fixed at six years
and his  benefits  are fixed at his  average  salary  for the five  years  ended
December 31, 1990 of $46,454.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     Mr. Rutherford's  previous  employment  agreement  with  Atlantic Gulf  has
expired.  The Board has authorized an employment  agreement with Mr.  Rutherford
which, upon execution,  would provide as follows:  (a) Mr.  Rutherford's term of
employment,  unless terminated  earlier,  would terminate on September 30, 1997;
(b) Mr. Rutherford's base salary would be at the rate of $400,000 per annum; (c)
in the Board's sole discretion,  after a review of Mr.  Rutherford's  employment
performance,  Mr. Rutherford may be awarded up to a $300,000 bonus in respect of
Atlantic  Gulf  achieving  the results  contemplated  by its  business  plan and
obtaining new development  project  opportunities  and additional debt or equity
financing,  including the  consummation  of the sale of Atlantic Gulf  preferred
stock to AP-AGC,  LLC (the "Apollo  Transaction");  and (d) Mr. Rutherford would
provide, if so requested by the Board,  "transition" assistance,  on a part time
basis, after the date of termination of employment,  for up to 180 days, subject
to the  continuation of his base  compensation at the rate of $400,000 per annum
and his  ability  to engage in real  estate  development  activities,  including
activities that may, in fact, be competitive  with Atlantic  Gulf's efforts,  or
otherwise involve corporate  opportunities  that Atlantic Gulf may be interested
in pursuing.  Atlantic Gulf's proposed employment  agreement with Mr. Rutherford
also would  provide that he would be entitled to receive a severance  payment of
$400,000 in a lump sum, within five business days after the occurrence of either
(a) Atlantic Gulf's termination of the Employee's  employment prior to September
30, 1997,  other than for cause or (b) a Change of Control of Atlantic  Gulf and
within five business days thereafter,  the termination by Mr.  Rutherford of his
employment  thereunder,  with or without reason or cause. "Change of Control" is
defined to mean any person,  entity or group (as defined in the  Exchange  Act),
acquiring  equity  securities  of  Atlantic  Gulf  either  (i) for an  aggregate
purchase  price in excess of  $10,000,000  being paid to  Atlantic  Gulf for its
equity  securities or (ii) in a transaction that would require  disclosure under
Item 1 of Form  8-K  pursuant  to  Section  13 or  15(d)  of the  Exchange  Act;
provided,  however, in either event Change of Control of Atlantic Gulf would not
include the consummation of the Apollo Transaction or related stock issuances by
Atlantic Gulf. It is  contemplated  that Mr.  Rutherford  would  negotiate a new
employment  agreement  with  Atlantic  Gulf  after  the  closing  of the  Apollo
Transaction.

     An  employment  agreement  with Mr.  Jeffrey  expired on April 30, 1995 and
under its terms he elected to remain an employee-at-will. The agreement provided
that if Mr. Jeffrey elected to become an  employee-at-will  and he is thereafter
terminated  other than for "cause" as defined in the agreement,  he will receive
severance  compensation at the rate of his annual base salary and certain fringe
benefits for six months following termination.

     Under an employment  agreement with Mr.  McLaughlin dated July 1, 1995, and
effective  July 17, 1995,  Mr.  McLaughlin  was employed as president  and chief
executive officer of Atlantic Gulf Land Company, a non-incorporated  division of
the Company, until April 11, 1997, when such employment was terminated.  He will
be entitled to override  payments  equal to one and one-half  percent of (i) the
gross sales  proceeds of Atlantic Gulf from each sale of eligible  property,  as
defined in the  agreement,  which close either  during the term of the agreement
(the "Term") or, if the Term has terminated and Mr.  McLaughlin has participated
in  obtaining  the  particular   definitive  contract  of  sale  prior  to  such
termination,  during the first 180 days after the effective date of termination,
(ii) any  non-refundable  deposit paid to Atlantic  Gulf while the sale does not
occur,  but Atlantic Gulf is entitled to retain such deposit and (iii) the value
of eligible  property  transferred  during the Term by Atlantic  Gulf to a joint
venture or partnership  between Atlantic Gulf and an unaffiliated third party or
to an operating  division of Atlantic  Gulf for the purpose of  developing  such
property.  Also, Mr. McLaughlin is receiving  severance equal to one year's base
salary of $250,000 and unpaid  override  payments for sales he  participated  in
which close within 180 days of the termination date.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     In  1996  Stockholders  approved  the  adoption  of the  1996  Non-Employee
Directors'  Stock Plan.  Under such Plan,  which took effect as of July 1, 1996,
the Non-Employee  Directors receive an annual retainer of $25,000 paid in Common
Stock quarterly based on the share price at the end of the previous quarter, and
$3,000  per Board  meeting  attended  in person or $1,000  per Board  meeting if
attended  by  telephone.  Board  meeting  fees are paid in cash  quarterly.  The
Chairman is paid a retainer of $25,000 in Common  Stock and $10,000 per month in
cash. No fees are paid for attending Board committee meetings nor for serving as
chairman of a Board committee.

                               Page 12 of 21 Pages
<PAGE>

     In  1995  Stockholders  approved  the  adoption  of the  1994  Non-Employee
Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan provides that each
director of Atlantic  Gulf who is not  otherwise an employee of Atlantic Gulf on
the date of grant of the option ("grant date") shall automatically be granted an
option to purchase (a) 20,000 shares of Common Stock as of December 5, 1994, (b)
20,000 shares of Common Stock to each new non-employee  director upon his or her
first  election or appointment to the Board and (c) 5,000 shares of Common Stock
to each non-employee  director at the first meeting of directors  following such
director's  subsequent  election or  appointment to the Board.  Options  granted
under  the 1994 Plan are  exercisable  for 10 years  and are  fully  vested  and
exercisable  on the date of grant.  Options  for a maximum of 350,000  shares of
Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the 1994 Plan. In view of the significant
reduction in the cash compensation payable to non-employee directors of Atlantic
Gulf as a result of the effectiveness of the 1996  Non-Employee  Directors Stock
Plan, the Board in December 1997 nullified,  retroactively,  its previous action
in December 1995 providing that the aggregate cash fees payable to the directors
would be reduced by $1 for each option share granted under the 1994 Plan.

INDEMNIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS

     The charter and by-laws of Atlantic Gulf provide for the indemnification of
its  directors  and  officers,  and  the  advancement  to them  of  expenses  in
connection with  proceedings and claims,  to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL. Atlantic Gulf also intends to enter into  indemnification  agreements with
its directors who resign  effective as of the closing of the Apollo  Transaction
that would contractually provide for indemnification and expense advancement and
include related provisions meant to facilitate the indemnitees'  receipt of such
benefits.  In addition,  Atlantic Gulf has purchased  customary  directors'  and
officers' liability insurance policies for its directors and officers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     In designing  its  compensation  programs,  the human  relations  committee
follows the belief that compensation should reflect the following principles:

     1.  Compensation  programs should support  Atlantic  Gulf's  short-term and
long-term   strategic   goals  and  objectives  by  rewarding   individuals  who
significantly contribute to the accomplishment of those goals and objectives.

     2. Short-term and long-term compensation play a critical role in attracting
and retaining well qualified executives.

     3. Compensation should be meaningfully related to the creation of value for
the stockholders.

     Atlantic Gulf's executive compensation is based on three components,  which
are intended to serve the overall compensation philosophy.

     BASE  SALARY  Base  salary  is  targeted  at  the  competitive  median  for
competitors in land development and condominium  construction in Atlantic Gulf's
market areas.  Salaries for executives  are reviewed by the committee  annually,
and the  committee  may recommend an increase to the Board at that time based on
(a) the committee's  view that the  individual's  contribution has increased and
(b) increases in median pay levels.

     The 1996 base salaries of Messrs. Rutherford and McLaughlin were determined
pursuant to employment agreements.  These employment agreements were designed to
attract  talented  executive  officers  to Atlantic  Gulf and to retain  certain
valuable existing executive  officers.  Effective July 1, 1996, Mr. Rutherford's
salary was increased.

     ANNUAL INCENTIVES On the committee's  recommendation,  the Board authorized
the  implementation  of a Management  by  Objectives  bonus program tied to 1993
performance (the "1993 M.O.  Program").  Under the 1993 M.O.  Program,  Atlantic
Gulf's  chief  executive  officer  could  earn a bonus of up to 100% of his base
salary,  and the other  executive  officers  could earn  bonuses of up to 35% of
their  base  salaries,   depending  upon  (a)  Atlantic  Gulf  meeting   certain
established 1993 net cash flow goals and (b) the executive  officer's  achieving
certain other pre-determined  departmental and individual objectives,  including
objectives  for  regional  sales  and asset  dispositions.  In  addition  to the
executive  officers,  the 1993 M.O.  Program  applied to all of Atlantic  Gulf's
employees,  at  varying  potential  bonus  levels.  The Board  adopted a similar
Management by Objectives bonus program for 1994 (the "1994 M.O.  Program").  The
bonus  targets  in the 1994 M.O.  Program  are based upon (a) 1994 net cash flow
goals,  (b)  departmental  goals,  (c)  completion  of certain  major  corporate
transactions  and (d) the price of the Common  Stock.  A similar  Management  by
Objectives  bonus program for 1995 (the "1995 M.O.  Program") was adopted by the
Board.  The Bonus  targets in the 1995 M.O.  Program are based upon (a) 1995 net
cash flow  goals,  (b)  department  goals and (c)  completion  of certain  major
corporate  transactions.  A similar  management by objectives  bonus program for
1996 (the "1996 M.O.  Program")  was adopted by the Board.  The Bonus targets in
the 1996  M.O.  Program  are  based  upon (a) 1996  net  cash  flow  goals,  (b)
department goals and (c) completion of certain major transactions.

    Mr.  Rutherford  received a bonus payment of $200,000 in 1994 under the 1993
M.O. Program keyed to, among other things, certain specified levels of corporate
performance  achieved as compared to current year budgets. The Board set similar
incentive bonus targets for Mr.  Rutherford under the 1994 M.O.  Program.  Under
the 1994 M.O. Program,  Mr. Rutherford  received a bonus payment of $130,000 and
discretionary  bonus payments of $100,000 pursuant to his employment  agreement,
for a total of $230,000 in 1995. In 1996, Mr.  Rutherford  received  $295,000 in
bonus payments under the terms of his  employment  agreement.  In February 1997,
Mr. Rutherford received a $90,000 bonus in respect of his performance during the
last six months of 1996,  including in respect of the closing on Atlantic Gulf's
debt facilities with Foothill,  in September 1996, and Atlantic Gulf's repayment
in full of its unsecured 12% notes due on December 31, 1996.

    Based upon  Atlantic  Gulf's cash flow and the  completion  of certain major
corporate transactions,  Mr. Jeffrey received a bonus payment of $40,220 in 1995
under the 1994 M.O. Program.  No bonus was paid to Mr. Jeffrey in 1996 under the
1995 M.O.  Program but he did receive a bonus of $85,000 when the Foothill  Debt
was closed.
Mr. Jeffrey also received a $15,000 advance of his 1996 anticipated bonus.

     Mr. Fertig receives incentive  compensation as a percentage of the revenues

                               Page 14 of 21 Pages
<PAGE>

from sales of Atlantic  Gulf's land sales.  His incentives were $73,573 in 1994,
$152,992 in 1995,  and $329,777 in 1996.  Mr. Fertig did not  participate in the
1994, 1995 or 1996 M.O. Program.

     Mr.   McLaughlin  is  president  of  Atlantic  Gulf  Land  Company  and  is
responsible for liquidating  land inventory not designated for  development.  Mr
McLaughlin  received incentive  compensation of $66,887 in 1995, and $618,907 in
1996 based upon a percentage of the revenues from land sales.

     Mr. O'Grady  participates in the M.O. Program and also receives  incentives
on various  transactions.  In 1995, he received an incentive  payment of $50,000
and in 1996  received  a bonus of $15,000  under the terms of the M.O.  Plan and
incentive payments of $153,914 for closing certain transactions.

     LONG-TERM INCENTIVES In 1993 Atlantic Gulf adopted an employee stock option
plan to  provide a  long-term  incentive  compensation  program.  The  committee
believes that a long-term incentive compensation program, linked directly to the
value of the Common Stock, will provide  executives with significant  incentives
to increase  Stockholder value, as well as assisting Atlantic Gulf in attracting
and  retaining  well  qualified   executives.   In  addition,   Atlantic  Gulf's
reorganization plan specifically provides for an employee stock option plan.

    In September  1994,  option grants were made to Mr.  Rutherford  for 112,500
shares,  Mr.  Jeffrey for 30,000 shares,  and Mr. Fertig for 10,000  shares.  In
February 1995,  additional  option grants were made to Mr. Rutherford for 50,000
shares, Mr. Jeffrey for 40,000 shares, and Mr. Fertig for 10,000 shares. In July
1996,  additional option grants were made to Mr. Jeffrey for 20,000 shares,  Mr.
Fertig for 10,000 shares and Mr. O'Grady for 5,000 shares.  The number of shares
of Common Stock subject to the option grants was  determined by the  committee's
subjective evaluation of competitive industry practices as well as the officers'
position levels.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     Messrs.  Agranoff,  Blase  and  Frederick  served as  members  of the human
relations committee.  The principal function of the human relations committee is
to review and make  recommendations  to the Board on all compensation and hiring
issues  relating to officers and senior staff members.  The members of the human
relations  committee  also serve as the stock option  committee  under  Atlantic
Gulf's Employee Stock Option Plan. None of such persons has served as an officer
or employee of Atlantic Gulf.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     Set forth below is a line graph  comparing the total  cumulative  return on
the Common Stock since it commenced trading on June 4, 1992 through December 31,
1996 with the NASDAQ Composite Index and a group of peer companies.  Returns are
based on the  change in  month-end  to  month-end  price and  assume  reinvested
dividends.  These  calculations  assume the value of an investment in the Common
Stock, the NASDAQ Index and the peer group was $100 on June 4, 1992.

     The peer companies  selected are in the real estate  development  business.
They are AMREP Corp.;  Atlantic Gulf Communities  Corporation;  Avatar Holdings;
Killearn  Properties,  Inc.;  MDC  Holdings  Inc.;  Newhall Land and Farming Co.
(Patten  Corp.,  which had been  included  among the peer  companies in previous
years, has ceased trading; accordingly,  Patten Corp. has been excluded from the
group of peer companies). The companies were weighted by market capitalization.

Gulf in certain legal matters.

                               Page 18 of 21 Pages
<PAGE>

     In February 1997,  Atlantic Gulf paid to Mr. James W. Apthorp,  Chairman of
the Board, $250,000 as compensation for his services in connection with Atlantic
Gulf  obtaining  the release in January 1997 of  approximately  $12.1 million in
