Sales of Real Estate: The Wind-Down Group is in the process of marketing and selling its real estate assets, all of which are held for sale. One single-family home is listed for sale and one other real
estate asset was under contract as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned a total of five real estate assets with a gross carrying value of approximately $31.40 million. The majority of the gross carrying value

|
• |
Forfeited Assets: Forfeited Assets consist of cash and other assets (jewelry, art, clothing, handbags and shoes). During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, the Trust sold some of its
Forfeited Assets and received net proceeds of approximately $0.14 million and $0.71 million, respectively. As noted earlier, net sale proceeds from liquidating the Forfeited Assets are to be distributed only to Qualifying Victims.

Legal Proceedings
|
• |
Preferential transfers. Certain of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and seek to avoid or recover payments made by the Debtors
during the 90 days prior to the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing, including payments to miscellaneous vendors and former Noteholders and Unitholders.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers (Interest to Noteholders and Unitholders). Certain of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and seek to avoid or
recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for interest paid to former Noteholders and Unitholders.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers (Shapiro personal expenses). Certain of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and seek to avoid and recover
payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for the personal expenses of Robert and Jeri Shapiro, including those identified in a forensic report
prepared in connection with an SEC enforcement action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers and fraud (against former agents). These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law governing fraudulent
transfers, seek to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for commissions to former agents, as well as for fraud, aiding and
abetting fraud, and the unlicensed sale of securities asserted by the Trust based on claims contributed to the Trust by defrauded investors. These actions were filed by the Trust in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware between November 15, 2019 and December 4, 2019. Actions of this type are also being pursued by the SEC, and it is the Trust’s understanding that any recoveries obtained by the SEC will be transmitted to the Trust pursuant to Fair
Funds established by the SEC.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers (Kenneth Halbert). The Trust is pursuing fraudulent transfer claims against Kenneth Halbert to avoid and recover prepetition payments of
principal and interest to Mr. Halbert. The Trust filed its initial complaint on December 1, 2019 and the operative first amended complaint on December 7, 2021. Fact discovery is currently underway, to be followed by expert discovery. The
court has not yet set a trial date.
|
• |
Actions regarding the Shapiro’s personal assets. On December 4, 2019, the Trust filed an action in the Bankruptcy Court, Adv. Pro. No. 10-51076 (BLS), Woodbridge Liquidation Trust v. Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro, 3X a Charm, LLC, Carbondale Basalt Owners, LLC, Davana Sherman Oaks Owners, LLC, In Trend Staging, LLC, Midland Loop Enterprises, LLC, Schwartz
Media Buying Company, LLC and Stover Real Estate Partners LLC. In this action, the Trust asserts claims under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law for avoidance of preferential and fraudulent transfers
together with claims for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, the unlicensed sale of securities, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The Trust seeks to recover damages and assets held in the names of Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro
and their family members and entities owned or controlled by them, which assets the Trust contends are beneficially owned by the Debtors or for which the Debtors are entitled to recover based on the Shapiros’ defalcations, including over
$20 million in avoidable transfers. On February 4, 2022, the Trust entered into a Settlement Agreement with Ms. Jeri Shapiro resolving the Trust’s adversary proceeding against Ms. Shapiro. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, Ms.
Shapiro responded to interrogatories from the Trust and submitted a declaration under penalty of perjury detailing her lack of assets. Upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, Ms. Shapiro executed and delivered a Stipulated Judgment
for approximately $20.6 million that will be held by the Trust in escrow for three years that can be entered without notice if the Trust learns Ms. Shapiro’s representations in her declaration were false or materially inaccurate.
Additionally, Ms. Shapiro authorized the Trust to expunge the filed claims of certain co-defendants she was listed as an officer and turned over payments to the Trust that were received by certain co-defendants in the adversary
proceeding. A stipulation of dismissal (as to Ms. Shapiro only) was entered on April 1, 2022.
|
• |
Criminal proceeding and forfeiture. In connection with the United States’ criminal case against Robert Shapiro (Case No. No. 19-20178-CR-ALTONAGA (S.D. Fla. 2019)),
Shapiro agreed to the forfeiture of certain assets. The Trust filed a petition in the Florida court to claim the Forfeited Assets as property of the Debtors’ estates, and therefore as property that had vested in the Trust pursuant to the
Plan. The Trust has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Justice to resolve its claim. The agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on September 17, 2020 and was approved by the United States District
Court on October 1, 2020. Among other things, the agreement provides for the release of specified Forfeited Assets by the United States to the Trust, and for the Trust to liquidate those assets and distribute the net sale proceeds to
Qualifying Victims, which include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries—specifically, all former holders of Class 3 and 5 claims under the Plan and their permitted assigns—but do not include former holders of Class 4 claims under the
Plan. The Trust has taken possession of the Forfeited Assets and has sold the wine and gold assets as well as an automobile. Some of the jewelry, art, clothing, handbags and shoes have also been sold.

Formation and Description of Business |
Formation
Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (the “Trust”) was established (i) for the purpose of collecting, administering, distributing and liquidating the Trust assets for the benefit of the Trust beneficiaries in
accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement of the Trust and the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its Affiliated Debtors dated August 22, 2018 (as amended, modified, supplemented or
restated from time to time, the (“Plan”)); (ii) to resolve disputed claims asserted against the Debtors; (iii) to litigate and/or settle causes of action (“Causes of Action”); and (iv) to pay certain allowed claims and statutory fees, as required
by the Plan. Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its affiliated debtors are individually referred to herein as a Debtor and collectively as the Debtors. The Trust was formed on February 15, 2019 (the “Plan Effective Date”) as a statutory trust
under Delaware law.
On the Plan Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, (a) the following assets automatically vested in the Trust: (i) an aggregate $5,000,000 in cash from the Debtors for the purpose of funding the Trust’s initial expenses of operation; (ii) certain claims and Causes of Action; (iii)
all of the outstanding equity interests of the Wind-Down Entity (as defined below); and (iv) certain other non-real estate related assets, (b) the equity interests of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC
(together, the “Remaining Debtors”) were cancelled and new equity interests representing all of the newly issued and outstanding equity interests in the Remaining Debtors were issued to the Trust, (c) all of the other Debtors other than the
Remaining Debtors were dissolved and (d) the real estate-related assets of the Debtors were automatically vested in the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Woodbridge Wind-Down Entity LLC (the “Wind-Down Entity”) or one of the Wind-Down Entity’s 43 wholly-owned single member LLCs (the “Wind-Down Subsidiaries”) formed to own the respective real estate assets. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the
Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”
As further discussed in Note 10, the Trust
has two classes of liquidation trust interests, Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (“Class A Interests”) and Class B Liquidation Trust
Interests (“Class B Interests”). The holders of Class A Interests and Class B Interests are collectively referred to as “All Interestholders.”
On December 24, 2019, the
Trust’s Registration Statement on Form 10 became effective under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The trading symbol for the Trust’s Class A Interests is WBQNL. Bid and asked prices for the Trust’s Class A Interests are
quoted on the OTC Link ATS, the SEC-registered alternative trading system. The Class A Interests are eligible for the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (DRS) services. The Class B Interests
are not registered with the SEC.
Description of
Business
The Trust is
prosecuting various Causes of Action acquired by the Trust pursuant to the Plan and is resolving claims asserted against the Debtors. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is the plaintiff in several pending lawsuits. The Company has accrued an
estimate of the amount of legal costs to be incurred to pursue this litigation, excluding contingent fees. As more fully discussed in Note 2, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any estimate of future net recoveries from
litigation and settlement, since the Company cannot reasonably estimate them.
The Wind-Down
Entities’ operations are almost complete. As
of December 31, 2022, one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries owned one single-family home, located in Los Angeles, California. This single-family home is listed for sale. As of December 31, 2022, the Wind-Down Subsidiaries also owned two secured loans and two other
properties located in other states (see Note 3.)
The Company is required to liquidate its assets and distribute available cash to the Trust beneficiaries. The liquidation activities are carried
out by the Trust, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, the Company estimates that the liquidation activities will be completed by February 15, 2024.
As more fully discussed in Note 2, the Company uses the Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The Trust currently operates as one reportable segment comprised primarily of real estate assets held for sale. Net assets in liquidation represent the remaining estimated aggregate
value available to Trust beneficiaries upon liquidation, with no discount for the timing of proceeds (undiscounted). Net liquidation proceeds, other recoveries and actual liquidation costs may differ materially from the estimated amounts due to
the unpredictability of real estate selling prices, the impact of the COVID-19 virus and other global health crises (see below), as well as the uncertainty in the timing of liquidation of the real estate and other assets.
The Trust’s expectations about the amount of any additional distributions and when
they will be paid are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on certain estimates and assumptions, one or more of which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual amount of any additional distributions may differ materially,
perhaps in adverse ways, from the Trust estimates. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the timing of any additional distributions and any such distributions may not be made within the timing referenced in the consolidated financial
statements.
No assurance can be given that total distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented
in the consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation.
The Company observes
health and safety guidelines, including allowing its employees to work remotely. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 virus and other global health crises on its activities, including the time needed to market and sell
its remaining real estate assets and the price at which these real estate assets will be sold. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 virus and other global health crises will depend on many factors, some of which cannot be foreseen, including the
duration, severity, and geographic concentrations of the pandemic and any resurgence of the disease.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. These consolidated
financial statements have been presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial
Statements (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting.” The June 30, 2022 consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures or
notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities are revised in the period that available information supports a change in the carrying amount.
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, all assets are recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents
the estimated amount of net cash that will be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). The measurement of real estate assets held for sale is based on current contracts (if any), estimates and other indications of
sales value, net of estimated selling costs. To determine the value of real estate assets held for sale, the Company considered the three traditional approaches to value (cost, income and sales comparison) commonly used by the real estate appraisal
community. The applicability and relevancy of each valuation approach as applied may differ by asset. In most cases, the sales comparison approach was accorded the greatest weight. This approach compares a property to other properties with similar
characteristics that have recently sold. To validate management’s estimate, the Company also considered opinions from qualified real estate professionals and local real estate brokers and, in some cases, obtained third party appraisals. The
estimated selling costs range from 5.0% to 6.5%
of the property sales price.
Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan, are measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP that
otherwise applies to those liabilities. The Company has also recorded the estimated development costs to be incurred to prepare the assets for sale as well as the estimated holding costs to be incurred until the projected sale date and the
estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company and estimated reserves for contingencies. When estimating development costs, the Company considered third party construction contracts
and estimates of costs to complete based on construction status, progress and projected completion timing. Estimated development costs also include the costs of design and furnishings necessary to prepare and stage the homes for marketing as well
as an accrual for warranty claims. Holding cost estimates consider property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other costs to be incurred until the sale of the property is closed. Projected general and administrative cost estimates take
into account operating costs through the completion of the liquidation of the Company.
These estimated amounts are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation. All changes in the estimated
liquidation value of the Company’s real estate held for sale, or other assets and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
The Company does not record any amount from the future settlement of unresolved
Causes of Action or recoveries of Fair Funds in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since they cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount recovered may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the estimated net realizable values, liquidation costs and the estimated date of the completion of the
liquidation of the Company and records any significant changes. The Company will also revalue an asset when it is under contract for sale and the buyer’s contingencies have been removed. During the period when this occurs, the carrying value of the
asset and the estimated closing and other costs will be adjusted, if necessary. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is
approved. The change in value may include the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.
Other Assets
The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action when an agreement is executed and
collectability is reasonably assured. An allowance for uncollectible settlement installment receivables is recorded when there is doubt about the collectability of the receivable. Insurance claims are recognized when the insurance company
accepts the claim or if a claim is pending and the recoverable amount can be estimated. The Company records escrow receivables at the amount that is expected to be received when the escrow receivable is released. The Forfeited Assets (Note 7)
received from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), other than cash, have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value. In addition, the Company recognizes other amounts to be received based on contractual terms or when
the amounts to be received are certain.
Accrued Liquidation Costs
The Company accrues for estimated liquidation costs to the extent they are reasonably determinable. These costs consist of (a) estimated
development costs of the single-family homes, including construction and other project related costs, architectural and engineering, project management, city fees, bond payments (net of refunds), furnishings, marketing, estimated reserves for
potential warranty claims and contingent liabilities and other costs; (b) estimated holding costs, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities and other; and (c) estimated general and administrative costs including payroll, legal
and other professional fees, trustee and board fees, rent and other office related expenses, and other general and administrative costs to operate the Company.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term investments that have a maturity date of ninety days or less at the time of investment to be a cash equivalent.
The Company’s cash equivalents include deposits with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash that can only be used for certain specified purposes.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash. At times, balances in any one financial institution may exceed the FDIC insurance limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in high-credit quality financial institutions.
In addition, the Company uses strategies to reduce deposit balances at any one financial institution consistent with FDIC insurance limits.
Income Taxes
The Trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income tax on
any income earned or gain recognized by the Trust. The Trust’s beneficiaries will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each asset, including cash and each liability received by and held by the Trust. Each beneficiary will be required to
report on his or her federal and state income tax return his or her pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Trust. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal or state income taxes recorded in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company regularly analyzes its various federal and state filing positions and only recognizes the income tax effect in the consolidated
financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. The Company believes that its income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities.
Therefore, no provision for uncertain income tax positions has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Net Assets in Liquidation - Restricted
for Qualifying Victims
The Company separately
presents the portion of net assets in liquidation that are restricted for Qualifying Victims (Note 7) from the net assets in liquidation that are available to All Interestholders.

Forfeited Assets - Restricted for Qualifying Victims |
The Trust entered into a resolution agreement with the DOJ which provided that the Trust would receive the assets
forfeited (“Forfeited Assets”) by Robert and Jeri Shapiro. The agreement provided for the release of specified Forfeited Assets by the DOJ to the Trust and for the Trust to liquidate those assets and distribute the net sale proceeds to Qualifying
Victims. Qualifying Victims include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries (specifically, all former holders of allowed Class 3 and 5 claims and their permitted assigns), but do not include former holders of Class 4 claims. Distributions to
Qualifying Victims are to be allocated pro-rata based on their net allowed claims without considering the (i) 5% enhancement for

Distributions |
The Plan provides for a distribution waterfall that specifies the priority and manner of distribution of available cash to all Interestholders,
excluding distributions of the net sales proceeds from Forfeited Assets (Note 7). Distributions are to be made (a) to the Class A Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class A Interest; thereafter (b) to the Class B Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class B Interest; thereafter (c) to each Liquidation Trust Interest (whether a Class A Interests or Class B Interest) until the aggregate of all distributions
made pursuant to this clause equals an amount equivalent to interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%, compounded annually Interests, accrued on the aggregate principal amount of all Net Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Net Unit Claims, all as defined in the Plan,
treating each distribution pursuant to (a) and (b) above as reductions of such principal amount; and thereafter (d) to the holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims, as defined in the Plan, until such claims are paid in full, including interest, at a
per annum fixed rate of 10% or such higher rate as may be agreed to, as provided for in the Plan, compounded annually, accrued on the
principal amount of each Allowed Subordinated Claim, as defined.
No distributions were declared or paid during the three months ended December 31, 2022. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, one
distribution was declared and paid ($ in millions, except for $ per Class A Interest):
One distribution was paid during the six months ended December 31, 2022 relating to the tenth distribution and another distribution was
declared and paid during the six months ended December 31, 2021, relating to the eighth distribution ($ in millions, except for $ per Class A Interest):
a) The distribution was declared on June 15, 2022 and paid on July 15, 2022.
For every distribution, a deposit is made into a restricted cash account for
amounts (a) payable for Class A Interests that may be issued in the future upon the allowance of unresolved claims, (b) in respect of Class A Interests issued on account of recently allowed claims (c) for holders of Class A Interests who failed
to cash distribution checks mailed in respect of prior distributions (d) for distributions that were withheld due to pending avoidance actions and (e) for holders of Class A Interests for which the Trust is waiting for further beneficiary
information.
During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as (a) claims were
resolved, (b) claims were recently allowed, (c) addresses for holders of uncashed distribution checks were obtained, (d) pending avoidance actions were resolved and (e) further beneficiary information was received, distributions of
approximately $6,000 and $75,000,
respectively, and during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately $657,000 and $113,000, respectively, were paid to holders of Class A Interests from the restricted cash account and distributions payable were reduced by the same
amount.
During the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as a result of
claims being disallowed or Class A Interests being cancelled, approximately $0 and $191,000, respectively, and during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately $2,638,000 and $289,000 were released from the restricted cash account and
distributions payable were reduced by the same amount.
As a result of distribution checks that had not been cashed within 180 days of
their issuance, Interestholders were deemed to have forfeited their rights to reserved and future Class A Interest distributions. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, some Interestholders that had previously been deemed to
have been forfeited their rights to receive Class A Interest distributions had responded and therefore approximately $0 and $12,000, respectively, was added to the restricted cash account and distributions payable were increased by the same amount. During the three and
six months ended December 31, 2021, no Interestholders were deemed to have forfeited their rights to reserved and future Class
A distributions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. These consolidated
financial statements have been presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial
Statements (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting.” The June 30, 2022 consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures or
notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
|
Consolidation |
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
|
Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities are revised in the period that available information supports a change in the carrying amount.
|
Liquidation Basis of Accounting |
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, all assets are recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents
the estimated amount of net cash that will be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). The measurement of real estate assets held for sale is based on current contracts (if any), estimates and other indications of
sales value, net of estimated selling costs. To determine the value of real estate assets held for sale, the Company considered the three traditional approaches to value (cost, income and sales comparison) commonly used by the real estate appraisal
community. The applicability and relevancy of each valuation approach as applied may differ by asset. In most cases, the sales comparison approach was accorded the greatest weight. This approach compares a property to other properties with similar
characteristics that have recently sold. To validate management’s estimate, the Company also considered opinions from qualified real estate professionals and local real estate brokers and, in some cases, obtained third party appraisals. The
estimated selling costs range from 5.0% to 6.5%
of the property sales price.
Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan, are measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP that
otherwise applies to those liabilities. The Company has also recorded the estimated development costs to be incurred to prepare the assets for sale as well as the estimated holding costs to be incurred until the projected sale date and the
estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company and estimated reserves for contingencies. When estimating development costs, the Company considered third party construction contracts
and estimates of costs to complete based on construction status, progress and projected completion timing. Estimated development costs also include the costs of design and furnishings necessary to prepare and stage the homes for marketing as well
as an accrual for warranty claims. Holding cost estimates consider property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other costs to be incurred until the sale of the property is closed. Projected general and administrative cost estimates take
into account operating costs through the completion of the liquidation of the Company.
These estimated amounts are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation. All changes in the estimated
liquidation value of the Company’s real estate held for sale, or other assets and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
The Company does not record any amount from the future settlement of unresolved
Causes of Action or recoveries of Fair Funds in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since they cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount recovered may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the estimated net realizable values, liquidation costs and the estimated date of the completion of the
liquidation of the Company and records any significant changes. The Company will also revalue an asset when it is under contract for sale and the buyer’s contingencies have been removed. During the period when this occurs, the carrying value of the
asset and the estimated closing and other costs will be adjusted, if necessary. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is
approved. The change in value may include the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.
|
Other Assets |
Other Assets
The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action when an agreement is executed and
collectability is reasonably assured. An allowance for uncollectible settlement installment receivables is recorded when there is doubt about the collectability of the receivable. Insurance claims are recognized when the insurance company
accepts the claim or if a claim is pending and the recoverable amount can be estimated. The Company records escrow receivables at the amount that is expected to be received when the escrow receivable is released. The Forfeited Assets (Note 7)
received from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), other than cash, have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value. In addition, the Company recognizes other amounts to be received based on contractual terms or when
the amounts to be received are certain.
|
Accrued Liquidation Costs |
Accrued Liquidation Costs
The Company accrues for estimated liquidation costs to the extent they are reasonably determinable. These costs consist of (a) estimated
development costs of the single-family homes, including construction and other project related costs, architectural and engineering, project management, city fees, bond payments (net of refunds), furnishings, marketing, estimated reserves for
potential warranty claims and contingent liabilities and other costs; (b) estimated holding costs, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities and other; and (c) estimated general and administrative costs including payroll, legal
and other professional fees, trustee and board fees, rent and other office related expenses, and other general and administrative costs to operate the Company.
|
Cash Equivalents |
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term investments that have a maturity date of ninety days or less at the time of investment to be a cash equivalent.
The Company’s cash equivalents include deposits with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).
|
Restricted Cash |
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash that can only be used for certain specified purposes.
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash. At times, balances in any one financial institution may exceed the FDIC insurance limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in high-credit quality financial institutions.
In addition, the Company uses strategies to reduce deposit balances at any one financial institution consistent with FDIC insurance limits.
|
Income Taxes |
Income Taxes
The Trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income tax on
any income earned or gain recognized by the Trust. The Trust’s beneficiaries will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each asset, including cash and each liability received by and held by the Trust. Each beneficiary will be required to
report on his or her federal and state income tax return his or her pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Trust. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal or state income taxes recorded in the
