ATLANTIC REALTY TRUST               FORM 10-Q                      JUNE 30, 1996

1.      ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Atlantic Realty Trust (the "Trust") a Maryland real estate investment
        trust, was formed on July 27, 1995 for the purpose of liquidating the
        mortgage loan portfolio and certain other assets and liabilities which
        were transferred to the Trust from RPS Realty Trust ("RPS") on May 10,
        1996 (the "Transaction"). The Trust intends to liquidate its assets
        within eighteen months and, therefore, adopted the liquidation basis of
        accounting on May 10 1996.

        The interim financial data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
        management, the Trust's interim financial data for the six months
        ended June 30, 1996 includes all adjustments (consisting of recording
        the transfer of the net assets described above, recording the
        adjustments for the liquidation basis of accounting described below
        and other recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
        of the results of the interim period on the liquidation basis
        of accounting.                                                 

        LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

        The Trust's financial statements are prepared on 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.

        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 the
        Trust's plan for disposition of assets. Computations of net realizable
        value necessitate the use of assumptions and estimates. Future events,
        including economic conditions that relate to real estate markets in
        general, may differ from those assumed or estimated in the computations.
        There can be no assurance that the amounts ultimately realized will
        equal at least the amounts recorded for such assets. The actual value of
        any liquidating distributions will depend upon a variety of factors
        including, among others, the proceeds from the sale of the Trust's
        assets and the timing of distributions.

        The valuations presented in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets in
        Liquidation represent the estimates at the date shown, based on current
        facts and circumstances, of the estimated net realizable value of assets
        and estimated costs of liquidating the Trust. Adjustments to the net
        realizable value of assets and anticipated settlement amounts of
        liabilities may be recognized from time to time as a result of
        differences between estimated and actual amounts received and costs
        incurred, as well as additional information that may arise relating to
        the liquidation of the Trust. There can be no assurance that the net
        values ultimately realized and costs actually incurred for such assets
        will not materially differ from the amounts recorded.

ATLANTIC REALTY TRUST               FORM 10-Q                      JUNE 30, 1996

5.    LOAN PAYABLE

      In connection with the Transaction the Trust assumed $5,550,000 in
      indebtedness, the proceeds of which, together with existing resources of
      RPS, were used by RPS primarily for the payment of termination of
      employment agreements and severance benefits of approximately $3,000,000,
      distributions to shareholders of approximately $2,279,000, directors' and
      officers' insurance premiums of approximately $1,150,000 and approximately
      $750,000 in working capital for the Trust. Such indebtedness bears
      interest at 8.25% per annum and matures on November 9, 1997. The expected
      interest payable on the loan over the Trust's 18 month life has been
      included in the Adjustments to reflect Liquidation Basis Accounting. The
      indebtedness is secured by a collateral assignment on the Trust's interest
      in the Hylan Shopping Center.

6.    TAX CONTINGENCY

      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 Internal Revenue Service ("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 has requested that the IRS
      enter into a closing agreement  with RPS that the Assets Issue will not
      impact RPS' status as a REIT. The IRS  has deferred any action relating
      to the Asset Issue pending the further  examination of RPS' 1991-1994 tax
      returns (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, 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 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 Transaction). In
      connection with the assumption of such potential liabilities, the Trust
      and RPS entered into a tax agreement which provides that RPS (under the
      direction of its 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 legal counsel that, to the extent there is
      a deficiency in RPS' taxable income 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 95 percent of its taxable income), the classification of
      RPS as a REIT for the taxable years under examination would not be
      affected. If, notwithstanding the above-described opinions of legal
      counsel, the IRS successfully challenged the status of RPS as a REIT, the
      REIT status of the Trust could be adversely affected. Management
      estimates that this would have an effect of approximately $600,000 for
      1995 and $400,000 for 1994 which has not been provided in the financial
      statements of RPS or the Trust. Such amounts do not include potential
      penalties and interest. The possible effect on the Trust for subsequent
      periods could be significant depending on the taxable income of either
      RPS or the Trust in such periods. As of June 30, 1996, the Trust has not
      been required to perform its indemnity with respect to the RPS Tax Issues
      and Management is not aware of any determination of tax liability by the
      IRS against RPS.

7.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On July 10, 1996 the Trust prepaid $3,500,000 of the principal balance of
      the promissory note, dated as of May 10, 1996, in favor of RPS. (See Note
      5 above.)                                                            
        
      On July 12, 1996 the Trust received proceeds of $539,802 from the
      repayment of the NCR Building loan. The proceeds consisted of the
      repayment of the principal loan balance of $468,493, current interest of
      $52,093 and expenses due to the foreclosure action of $19,216.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
         AND LIQUIDATION ACTIVITIES
         
      CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Upon consummation of the Transaction, the Trust owned seven mortgage loans and
three retail properties (which include the Hylan Plaza Shopping Center, located
in Staten Island, New York, the Norgate Shopping Center, located in
Indianapolis, Indiana and the 9 North Wabash Avenue Building, located in
Chicago, Illinois), as well as cash and certain other assets, which include
furniture, fixtures and equipment, formerly held by RPS. In addition, upon
consummation of the Transaction, the Trust assumed $5,550,000 in indebtedness
from RPS, borrowed by RPS in connection with the acquisition of certain stock
interests in Ramco-Gershenson, Inc. ("Ramco") and substantially all of the real
estate assets of Ramco's affiliates (the "Ramco Acquisition") pursuant to a
promissory note which bears interest at a rate of 8.25% and matures on November
9, 1997 (the "Promissory Note"). The Promissory Note is secured by a collateral
assignment of the Trust's interest in the Hylan Shopping Center. On July 10,
1996, the Trust repaid $3,500,000 of the principal balance of the Promissory
Note. The Trust does not intend to make new loans or actively engage in either
the mortgage lending or the property acquisition business, other than in
connection with potential workouts of certain of its mortgage loans.

The Trust's primary objective is to liquidate its assets in an eighteen month
period while realizing the maximum values for such assets. 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 estimate.

The Trust believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand, proceeds generated
from the mortgage loans and real estate properties that continue to operate and
from the eventual sale of such assets will be sufficient to support the Trust's
operations and meet its obligations.

During the period ended June 30, 1996 the Trust received proceeds of
approximately $5,340,000 from the prepayment of two mortgage loans. At June 30,
1996 the Trust owned five mortgage loans and the three retail properties
discussed above. The Trust intends to reduce to cash or cash equivalents the
mortgage loan and real property portfolio in an orderly manner as soon as
practicable and make a liquidating distribution or distributions to its
shareholders, or merge or combine operations with another real estate entity.
