Abstract
We analyze our BVRc photometry for UGC 5600, a candidate polar ring galaxy, obtained with the 6-m telescope. We have confirmed the existence of an inn er polar ring and show that the outer ring-shaped structure represents spir al arms; i.e., UGC 5600 belongs to the rare class of gas-rich spiral galaxi es with inner polar rings.
