| PART VI, LINE 5 | DURING CALENDAR YEAR DECEMBER 31, 2018, MANAGEMENT OF THE ATLANTA LAND TRUST IDENTIFIED FRAUDULENT DISBURSEMENTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $59,100. MANAGEMENT ENGAGED FORENSIC AND LEGAL SPECIALISTS TO INVESTIGATE AND QUANTIFY THE EXTENT OF THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF FUNDS.

THE REPORT FURTHER CONCLUDED THAT THE DISBURSEMENTS WERE THE RESULT OF IMPROPER EXPENDITURES AND WITHDRAWALS BY A FORMER OFFICER OF THE BOARD. THE DISBURSEMENTS WERE RECORDED AS VARIOUS EXPENSES INCLUDING OFFICE EXPENSES, TRAVEL AND ENTERTAINMENT, CONSULTING, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF LEGAL COUNSEL, ATLANTA LAND TRUST HAS CONCLUDED THAT THE FORMER BOARD MEMBER, WHO WAS THE TREASURER, WAS A DISQUALIFIED PERSON FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 4958 AND HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SCHEDULE L. THE ATLANTA LAND TRUST HAS NOT RECOVERED ANY AMOUNTS OF THE FINANCIAL LOSS TO DATE. THE ATLANTA LAND TRUST HAS REFERRED THE MATTER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ANY FURTHER PROCEEDINGS. IN RESPONSE TO THE FRAUD AND TO MITIGATE FUTURE RISKS, THE BOARD OF THE ATLANTA LAND TRUST AND ITS MANAGERS HAVE HIRED A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RETAINED FINANCIAL CONTROLS EXPERTS, IMPLEMENTED NEW PROCEDURES IN ITS FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT, AND MADE CHANGES TO ITS INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. THE BOARD AND OFFICERS CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND EVALUATE THE SAFEGUARDS THE ORGANIZATION CURRENTLY HAS IN PLACE. PART VI, LINE 11B The completed Form 990 is presented to the Finance & Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and approval, then transmitted to the full Board of Directors for approval. |
| PART VI, LINE 12C | ALT has had and continues to have a policy that no person, while serving ALT as a Director, Officer, Committee member, or in any other leadership capacity, may take personal advantage of his or her position with ALT. Activities performed by a person in a leadership capacity with ALT must serve the best interests of ALT and may not favor the personal interests of such person. Further, every person serving in a leadership capacity with ALT must disclose any circumstances that either constitute or appear to constitute a prohibited conflict of interest between such persons duty of loyalty to ALT and such persons personal interests. Compliance with this policy requires a Leader to avoid and disclose any prohibited conflicts of interest or appearance of prohibited conflicts of interest between his or her respective individual financial, business, or investment interests and the interests of ALT. On an annual basis (or on an interim basis if necessary due a new appointment or a newly-arising actual or potential conflict of interest) each Leader must disclose on the form of disclosure statement any actual or potential prohibited conflicts of interest such Leader may have with ALT as of the date set forth on Exhibit A; and acknowledge and agree to the policy and the terms of the disclosure statement and deliver an executed original thereof to the Chair of the Board of Directors. In the event a Leader and ALT propose to enter into an arrangement, transaction, or circumstance that otherwise would constitute or would appear to constitute a prohibited conflict of interest, then such arrangement, transaction, or circumstance nevertheless may be authorized and approved in compliance with this policy if, in addition to meeting any other requirements of applicable law, the following conditions are met: (I) the Leader proposing to enter into the otherwise prohibited conflict of interest arrangement, transaction, or circumstance with ALT provides written notice to the Board of Directors of ALT; and (ii) such Leader thereafter refrains from any deliberation or voting with respect to ALTs decision to participate or not to participate in such arrangement, transaction, or circumstance and the manner of terms of such participation. Minutes of appropriate meetings regarding such matters should reflect clearly that such disclosure was made, and that such Leader recused him or herself from deliberations and abstained from voting on the matter. |
| PART VI, LINE 19 | All documents are available to the public upon request. |
| PART VI, LINE 15A | ALT engaged an executive search firm to identify and select the Executive Director. As part of this scope of work, Carter Baldwin conducted an analysis of comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. |
| Part XI, Line 9 | 296,948- non-481(a) reversal due to change in accounting method from modified cash to accrual basis. Total adjustment taken in current year for audit purposes but must be taken over 4 years for tax purposes. Part XII, Line 1 In 2018 ALT adopted a policy of preparing its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the accompanying net asset balances as of December 31, 2017 have been restated to reflect the change from the modified cash basis of accounting, which is comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. |
