EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On
The Company remains focused on managing the wind-up activities, including the payment of known and contingent liabilities (including the wind-up expenses) and the distribution of available funds to the Company's common shareholders. The dissolution and wind-up process and the amount and timing of additional distributions to shareholders entail risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount that will ultimately be distributed to shareholders, and no assurance can be given that future distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. See further discussion below under "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financing Activities-Winding Up and Dissolution."

The New Management Agreement also obligates the Company to pay or reimburse the Manager for all commercially reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under the New Management Agreement, including but not limited to, all fees and expenses paid to outside advisors (including legal and accounting fees), consultants, architects, engineers and other professionals reasonably required for the performance of the Manager's duties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and
assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. Estimates and
assumptions include, among other things, the collectability of receivables. It
is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by management in
formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not
materialize. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent to the Company's adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting as
of
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, rental income was reduced for the elimination of unpaid contractual lease payments for tenants that are on the cash basis of accounting due to collectability concerns.
Upon the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, receivable balances were assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of the receivable is probable. Prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company made estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company analyzed tenant credit worthiness, as well as both current economic and tenant-specific sector trends when evaluating the probability of collection of accounts receivable. In evaluating tenant credit worthiness, the Company's assessment may have included a review of payment history, tenant sales performance and financial position. The time to resolve these amounts may exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company's net assets because once the amount is not considered probable of being collected, assets are reduced. While the Company is working to maximize payments, collection of past due amounts is not guaranteed.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The Company maintains a cash balance to satisfy projected expenses and known and unknown claims which might arise during the winding up and dissolution process. The Company's capital source primarily is unrestricted cash. See further discussion below under "- Winding Up and Dissolution."
In addition to the Liability for Estimated Wind-Up Expenses included in the
Consolidated Statement of Net Assets, the Company may be subject to other
expenses such as insurance deductibles or costs incurred in connection with any
litigation which may arise during the winding up and dissolution process. These
costs cannot be reasonably estimated and, thus are not included as a deduction

There are many factors that will affect the timing and amount of any additional distributions to shareholders, including, among other things, the amount of current cash balances utilized to satisfy projected expenses and known and unknown claims which might arise during the Company's winding up and dissolution process. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount that will ultimately be distributed to shareholders, and no assurance can be given that any future distributions will be made or that any future distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Company's consolidated financial statements, including trends that might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The Company considers portions of this information to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, both as amended, with respect to the Company's expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to the wind-up of the Company's operations and the timing or amount of any future distributions to shareholders. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "will," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and that could materially affect the Company's actual results, performance or achievements. For additional factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements (including amounts available for distribution to shareholders) to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
The occurrence and outcome of litigation, including litigation with former tenants and purchasers of its properties;
•
The Company may be unable to collect amounts owed to it by third parties;
•
The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities;
•
Changes in accounting or other standards;
