Item 1.        BUSINESS

The Company

As further described below, the predecessor to Trinity Place Holdings Inc. (“Trinity” or the “Company”), Syms Corp. (“Syms”), together with its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code” or “Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) on November 2, 2011. On August 30, 2012, the Court entered an order confirming the Modified Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Syms Corp. and its Subsidiaries (the “Plan”). On September 14, 2012, the Plan became effective and the Debtors consummated their reorganization under Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan and emerged from bankruptcy. As part of those transactions, reorganized Syms merged with and into Trinity, with Trinity as the surviving corporation and successor issuer pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Unless otherwise noted, references to the “Company”, “we” and “our” relate to Syms prior to the merger and to Trinity following the merger. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February each year.

Overview

Prior to filing for bankruptcy, Syms and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Filene’s Basement, LLC (“Filene’s,” “Filene’s, LLC” or “Filene’s Basement”), collectively owned and operated a chain of 46 “off-price” retail stores under the “Syms” name, which were owned and operated by Syms, and the “Filene’s Basement” name, which were owned and operated by Filene’s, LLC. The stores were located in the United States throughout the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions and in the Midwest, Southeast and Southwest. On June 18, 2009, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SYL, LLC, which became known as Filene’s Basement, LLC, acquired certain real property leases, inventory, equipment and other assets of Filene’s Basement Inc. (“Filene’s Inc.” or “Filene’s Basement Inc.”), then a Chapter 11 debtor-in-possession, pursuant to an auction conducted in accordance with section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, Filene’s, LLC thereafter operated 21 Filene’s Basement stores then located in the Northeastern, Middle Atlantic, Midwest and Southeast regions until it became a Chapter 11 debtor itself, together with Syms, and discontinued its retail operations on or about December 31, 2011. In addition, Syms owned and operated five co-branded Syms/Filene’s Basement stores. Syms and Filene’s, LLC operated in a single operating segment, the “off-price” retail stores segment.

Trinity owns commercial real estate and a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector. Trinity’s business plan includes the monetization of commercial real estate properties and a condominium it owned as of the effective date of the Plan, and the sale or development of 28-42 Trinity Place in Lower Manhattan, referred to as the Trinity Place Property. As described below, the Company has sold a number of its properties since the effective date of the Plan and is undertaking a review of various strategic, developmental and other value-enhancing alternatives for certain of its remaining commercial real estate properties, including the Trinity Place Property. As of May 30, 2014, the Company owns five properties.

Chapter 11 Cases

Syms and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 in the Court on the Petition Date and were operating as debtors-in-possession through September 14, 2012, at which time the Plan became effective and reorganized Syms merged with and into Trinity. Shortly after the filing of the Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors sold virtually all of their inventory and much of their furniture, fixtures and equipment during a closing process at each of their stores. On or about December 31, 2011, the Debtors had ceased retail operations at all of their stores and vacated all their leased retail store and distribution center locations.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors were lessees under 35 commercial real estate leases. On December 16, 2011, the Court entered an order that approved the Debtors’ proposed procedures for the marketing and disposition of their leases. The lease marketing process resulted in the sale of the Debtors’ interest in, or consensual termination of, certain of the Debtors’ leases. The Debtors rejected several other leases effective as of December 31, 2011. Under the Bankruptcy Code, when a debtor rejects a real estate lease, the rejection is considered a breach that gives rise to a claim for breach by the landlord against the debtor although the Bankruptcy Code imposes certain caps on the maximum amount of breach claims that a landlord may assert.

Chapter 11 Plan

The Plan, which was co-proposed by the Debtors and the Official Committee of Syms’ Equity Security Holders, was filed with the Court on May 24, 2012. The Plan was subsequently amended with the support of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors. On August 30, 2012, the Court entered an order confirming the Plan, and the Plan became effective on September 14, 2012.

Upon the effective date of the Plan and pursuant to its terms, Syms and its subsidiaries were reorganized and, subject to the obligations under the Plan, discharged of all claims. To effect the reorganization, Syms was reincorporated in Delaware by way of a merger with and into Trinity. As a result of the merger, each share of Syms was converted into one share of Trinity. Under the Plan, Trinity will attempt to monetize its real estate assets over time in a manner intended to maximize their value for the benefit of creditors and shareholders, as further described below. Under the Plan, Syms creditors holding Allowed Claims (as defined in the Plan) are entitled to payment of those claims in full. The Plan also provides for Filene’s, LLC creditors to receive recoveries from the monetization of certain of Trinity’s assets. Filene’s, LLC short-term creditors are entitled to payment in full on their Allowed Claims and Filene’s, LLC long-term creditors holding Allowed Claims are entitled to a recovery of 75% on their claims.

Claims Payment Process

A total of 3,096 proofs of claims and one motion for payment of professional fees for substantial contribution were filed in the Chapter 11 cases that asserted claims in the aggregate amount of approximately $316.6 million. When combined with the schedules of liabilities that were filed in the Chapter 11 cases, the aggregate “as filed” claims totaled approximately $320.2 million, exclusive of the amounts due under the Plan to the former Majority Shareholder, as defined below. The Company is in the process of reconciling, objecting to and resolving various claims associated with the discharge of liabilities pursuant to the Plan. In the experience of the Company’s advisors, claims filed by creditors typically exceed the amounts reflected on a company’s books and records and the amounts that are eventually allowed and actually paid.

During the period from the effective date of the Plan through March 2, 2013, the Company’s first fiscal year-end following emergence from Chapter 11, the Company paid approximately $26.2 million to holders of Allowed Claims as defined in and in accordance with the Plan. During the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014, the Company made additional cash payments to holders of Allowed Claims, together with other payments required under the Plan, including to the Majority Shareholder, in an aggregate amount of approximately $33.7 million, as well as an additional $1.4 million through May 30, 2014. These payments constituted the full distributions payable to the Allowed Syms and Filene’s Class 3 (Convenience Claims) and the Allowed Syms Unsecured Creditors in Syms Class 4 General Unsecured Claims, and the Syms Class 5 Union Pension Plan, all as defined in the Plan. As a result, under the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the director designated by the holder of the Series A preferred stock did not acquire control of the sale process of the Company’s remaining unsold “near-term properties,” as defined in the Plan.

2

The Company expects to pay additional Syms and Filene’s convenience class claims and Syms general unsecured claims out of Net Proceeds (as defined in the Plan) as they become Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As of May 30, 2014, based on the reconciliation work to date, the Company believes that the remaining estimated aggregate allowed amount of creditor claims, together with the net amount due to the former Majority Shareholder, is between $68 million and $78 million. Because holders of Allowed Filene’s, LLC Class 5(b)(General Unsecured (Long-Term) Claims) (as defined in the Plan) are entitled to a 75% recovery, the remaining estimated aggregate amount of cash distributions to creditors and the former Majority Shareholder under the Plan is between $61 million and $71 million.

The differences between the “as filed” amounts and these estimates primarily reflect duplicative claims (including identical claims filed against more than one debtor entity or in more than one priority class), amounts in the “as filed” claims that exceed the amounts for those claims shown on the Company’s books and records, and asserted claims for which the Company does not believe it has any liability.

The process of reconciling claims is different from the process of actually resolving claims. Accordingly, the above estimates are based primarily on the Company’s identification and reconciliation of the amounts of asserted claims to the Company’s books and records, and not on the negotiation or settlement of specific claims. Because of the large number of claims filed and the ongoing reconciliation and settlement processes, the ultimate amount of allowed claims and the ultimate amount of distributions under the Plan could be materially different from the Company’s current estimates.

The Plan and the Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that if the holders of Allowed Filene’s Class 4 (General Unsecured (Short-Term) Claims) and Class 5 (General Unsecured (Long-Term) Claims), as defined in the Plan, are not paid their full distributions under the Plan by October 1, 2014, then, subject to the extension of that date to April 1, 2015 under certain circumstances, the director designated by the holder of the Series A preferred stock will be entitled to direct the sale process for any remaining “near term properties” or “medium term properties,” as defined in the Plan, pursuant to a commercially reasonable process consistent with maximizing the value of those properties.

The Plan and the Company’s certificate of incorporation also provides that if there has not been a General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction, as defined in the Plan, by October 1, 2016, then the size of the Board of Directors shall automatically increase to nine members, seven of which are to be elected by the holder of the Series A preferred stock. If a General Unsecured Claim Satisfaction has occurred but the required payments to the former Majority Shareholder have not been made in full by October 16, 2016, then the size of the Board will automatically be adjusted to four members, three of whom would be elected by the former Majority Shareholder. In each case, the Board of Directors will remain controlled by the holder of the Series A preferred stock or the former Majority Shareholder, as applicable, until the required payments are made.

Rights Offering and Redemption of Former Majority Shareholder

In connection with the Plan, Syms entered into an Equity Commitment Agreement, or the ECA, among (i) Syms, (ii) Marcy Syms, (iii) the Laura Merns Living Trust, (iv) the Marcy Syms Revocable Living Trust (together with Marcy Syms and the Laura Merns Living Trust, the “former Majority Shareholder”) and (v) certain members of the Official Committee of Syms Equity Security Holders and their affiliates, referred to as the Backstop Parties. The ECA provided that, pursuant to and upon the effective date of the Plan, the former Majority Shareholder would sell all of its shares of Syms common stock to Syms at a price of $2.49 per share. Accordingly, on September 14, 2012, immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan, the former Majority Shareholder sold all of its 7,857,794 shares of common stock to Syms. Payment for the shares will be made to the former Majority Shareholder in accordance with the Plan as the Company’s real estate assets are monetized. The net amount due to the former Majority Shareholder was initially $17.8 million and was included as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of March 2, 2013. On October 1, 2013, the Company met its Plan obligation to pay the former Majority Shareholder $10.7 million and has a remaining liability due to the former Majority Shareholder on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of March 1, 2014 of $7.1 million, which is included in the estimated remaining distributions to creditors.

Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is restricted from making any distributions, dividends or redemptions on its common stock until after the former Majority Shareholder payments are made in full. The certificate of incorporation of the Company provides for a share of Series B preferred stock owned by the former Majority Shareholder and entitling the former Majority Shareholder to control a majority of the Board of Directors if the former Majority Shareholder payments are not made by October 16, 2016, provided that and conditional upon the general unsecured claim satisfaction having occurred.

In connection with the ECA and pursuant to the Plan, Syms conducted a rights offering in which it offered to sell to all existing shareholders other than the former Majority Shareholder, who qualified as “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, the right to purchase their pro rata portion of 10,040,160 new shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $2.49 per share, or approximately $25 million in the aggregate (the “Rights Offering”). Pursuant to the ECA, the Backstop Parties agreed to purchase their pro rata portion of the new shares made available in the Rights Offering, as well as all shares that were not subscribed for by other shareholders in the Rights Offering. The sale of all 10,040,160 shares of common stock in the Rights Offering closed on the effective date of the Plan.

The foregoing descriptions of certain transactions, payments and other matters contemplated by the Plan are summaries only and do not purport to be complete and are qualified in all respects by the actual provisions of the Plan and related documents.

General Business Plan

Trinity owns commercial real estate properties and a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector.  Trinity’s business plan includes the monetization of its remaining commercial real estate properties and the sale or development of the Trinity Place Property. 

During the period from the effective date of the Plan through the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014, the Company sold 10 of its properties which were located in Houston, Texas, Fairfield, Connecticut, Southfield, Michigan, Marietta, Georgia, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Elmsford, New York (after having previously leased it), Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Addison, Illinois, and Norcross, Georgia, as well as the condominium, which was located in Secaucus, New Jersey. In addition, the Company’s property in Miami, Florida was sold shortly before the effective date of the Plan. Subsequent to the period ended March 1, 2014, the Company sold its property located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania and closed on the sale of its lease for the Secaucus, New Jersey property (the “Secaucus Lease”).

The Company is undertaking a review of various strategic, developmental and other value-enhancing alternatives for certain of its commercial real estate properties, including the Trinity Place Property. To date, no specific course of action has been determined. The Company has retained advisors, including architects, construction experts and attorneys to assist it in its evaluation and review of cost estimates and monetization strategies. There remains a range of estimated values that may be realized for the Company’s properties. 

4

The Company also plans to explore the licensing of its intellectual property assets, including its rights to the Filene’s Basement trademark, the Stanley Blacker and Maine Bay brands, and the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides event and An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer slogan. 

The Company expects to continue evaluating the best way in which to monetize its remaining assets for the benefit of stockholders and creditors.

Operating Reserves

Under the Plan, the Company’s corporate budget is composed of certain operating reserves to fund working capital and the Company’s operations. Pursuant to the Plan, these reserves were initially funded from the proceeds realized by the Company from the sale of assets, settlements or any other sources in the first year following the Plan effective date on September 14, 2012. For the two year period from September 14, 2012 through September 13, 2014, the amounts to be funded and used in these reserves were set under the Plan as follows: (i) a corporate overhead reserve of $5.0 million in the aggregate, (ii) a $3.8 million pension fund reserve (of which $2.0 million is to fund the minimum annual payments due under the Syms pension plan and $1.8 million is to fund the minimum quarterly payments due to Local 1102 for the allowed amount of the claims for pension withdrawal liability), (iii) a carry cost/repair/tenant improvement reserve of $9.0 million in the aggregate, and (iv) a reserve for carry costs of the Trinity Place Property of $3.0 million in the aggregate. After September 14, 2014, additional amounts are to be funded to those four reserves plus a discretionary reserve and an emergency fund reserve of $0.5 million each.

The Company’s $5 million corporate overhead reserve initially contemplated by the Plan was depleted prior to the end of the two-year period following the Plan effective date, primarily due to greater than expected professional fees. In January 2014, the holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which has the sole authority to approve an increase in the operating reserves, consented to an increase in the corporate overhead reserve to $11 million, subject to certain limitations and a reduction of up to approximately $0.8 million if certain anticipated expenses are not incurred. Up to $2.5 million of corporate overhead expenses previously paid by the Company from generally available cash will count toward and be reimbursed from the increased corporate overhead reserve following receipt of net cash proceeds from future property sales.

Under the Plan, the consent of the holder of the Series A preferred stock is required for an increase in the aggregate cap for any reserve and the use of funds in a reserve for expenses designated to be paid from another reserve, except that, (i) by a majority vote of the Board of Directors, amounts in the corporate overhead reserve may be reallocated to the carry cost/repair/tenant improvement reserve and (ii) by a majority vote of the Board of Directors, and with the consent of the “Independent Director,” as described in the Plan, amounts in the corporate overhead reserve may be reallocated to the Trinity Place Property carry reserve (see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources, for additional discussion).

Certain Historical Financial Information

Syms changed its basis of accounting from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting effective October 30, 2011 and merged into Trinity on September 14, 2012. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable value, liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount and estimated costs over the period of liquidation are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

(1) On May 20, 2014, the Company closed on the sale of the Secaucus Lease to ASG. See Item 3, Legal Proceedings, for additional information.

Brokerage Agreements

The Company has engaged commercial real estate brokers to coordinate the sale and/or rental of its remaining properties, other than the Trinity Place Property. While terms may vary, the agreements generally provide for commissions ranging from 1% to 5% of the sale price in the case of sales, and 2% to 6% of the base rent on the primary term in the case of rentals, payable only upon closing of a sale transaction or execution of a lease agreement, as applicable. 

Competition

The markets in which the Company’s properties are located are inherently competitive. In some of these markets, principally the smaller markets, the Company expects there may be more limited buyer or tenant prospects for the Company’s property, while larger markets may in general offer more attractive supply and demand characteristics to the Company.

Competitive factors with respect to the Company’s Trinity Place Property may have a more material effect on the Company as it is likely the Company’s most valuable real estate asset. Various municipal entities are making and have indicated an intent to continue to make significant investments in the immediate vicinity of the Trinity Place Property in order to continue to support the growth of the neighborhood as a vibrant 24/7 community to work, visit and live. Several privately funded commercial and residential developments are being built or are proposed to take advantage of the increasing desirability of the neighborhood. The impact of these changing supply and demand characteristics is uncertain, and they could positively or negatively impact the Company’s evolving plan to maximize the value of its Trinity Place Property.

Environmental Compliance

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by the parties in connection with the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.

Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations require abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, the cost of which may be substantial for certain redevelopment projects that a potential purchaser would want to undertake with respect to any particular parcel of real estate owned by the Company. Such laws, ordinances and regulations also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Federal and state laws also regulate the operation and removal of underground storage tanks. In connection with the ownership and management of certain properties, the Company could be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to these regulated substances or related claims.

Based on a 2012 Phase 1 Environmental Assessment for the Trinity Place Property, the following conditions were noted for further investigation: an underground storage tank, asbestos containing materials and lead based paint. The Company estimates it will incur a minimum of $0.5 million to $0.75 million in fees and abatement related to the Trinity Place Property. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $0.1 million in fees for Phase 1, Phase 2 and asbestos studies when selling its remaining properties.

Employees

As of March 1, 2014, the Company had approximately ten full time employees staffed in management, accounting, administration and information technology capacities.

General Information about Syms and Trinity

Syms maintained its headquarters at One Syms Way, Secaucus, New Jersey 07094, and the telephone number was (201) 902-9600. Trinity is currently using the same headquarters and telephone number pursuant to a short term lease following the recent sale of the Secaucus Lease and will move its headquarters to midtown Manhattan in June 2014.

The Company also has ownership of approximately 60,000 square feet of development rights from adjacent tax lots, one of which is owned in fee by the Company which is improved with a 4-story landmark building which cannot be demolished.

Item 3.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings, which are primarily incidental to its former business. Some of the actions to which the Company is a party are covered by insurance and are being defended or reimbursed by the Company’s insurance carriers. Additionally, as discussed in Item 1, the Company operates under the Plan that was approved in connection with the resolution of the Chapter 11 cases involving Syms and its subsidiaries.

On May 8, 2012, the Company filed a motion with the Court for the entry of an order by the Court approving the Company’s assumption of the lease for the property located at One Syms Way, Secaucus, New Jersey.  The landlord asserted a cure claim of approximately $3.5 million, plus attorneys’ fees and costs.  The Company contested all but approximately $5,000 of that amount.  On February 19, 2013, the Court ruled that the cure claim should be reduced and allowed at approximately $1.25 million, but reserved ruling on the claims for attorneys’ fees and a relatively minor rent issue.  Based on an agreement with the landlord in July 2013, the Company established a reserve of $1.25 million for the potential payment of cure claims associated with assumption of the lease, which reserve had been accrued as a liability as of March 2, 2013.

On March 24, 2014, the Company filed a motion to assume, assign, and sell the Secaucus Lease to ASG, which offer was subsequently increased by ASG Equities Secaucus LLC (“ASG”) to $29 million plus the release of the cure claims reserve held by the Company on account of a dispute with the Company’s landlord (the “ASG Motion”). As a result of the ASG Motion, the liability was removed as of March 1, 2014. On April 29, 2014, over the objection of the Company’s landlord, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Company’s decision to assume, assign, and sell the Secaucus Lease to ASG, as the highest and best offer for the Secaucus Lease (the “Approval Order”), subject to certain conditions. On April 30, 2014, the landlord filed a motion requesting the Bankruptcy Court to reconsider the Approval Order. Following additional negotiations, the Company, the landlord, and ASG settled the landlord’s objections to the Approval Order. As a consequence, on May 16, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an amended Approval Order (the “Amended Approval Order”) approving the settlement and the sale of the Secaucus Lease to ASG. Pursuant to the Amended Approval Order, the sale of the Secaucus Lease to ASG closed on May 20, 2014.

Item 7.        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report, including but not limited to factors discussed below as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of management of the Company as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this Annual Report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or the management of the Company, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events, the outcome of which is subject to certain risks, including among others, the restrictions contained in the Plan, the influence of certain majority stockholders, the ability of the Company to lease, renew leases or relet space in its properties, competition in the real estate business, the ability of the Company to comply with environmental or other laws, the risk of potential uninsured losses and/or claims, asset values, the outcome of litigation, general economic and market conditions, higher than anticipated costs, unanticipated difficulties which may arise with respect to the Company and other factors which may be outside the Company’s control or that are not currently known to the Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those contemplated by any forward looking statements. Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph and elsewhere described in this Annual Report and other reports filed with the SEC.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable value, liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount and estimated costs over the period of liquidation are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

The Company does not believe it would qualify for fresh start accounting if it were to emerge from liquidation. Under fresh-start accounting, assets and liabilities are adjusted to fair value. Since fresh-start accounting would likely not apply if the company were to emerge from liquidation, the Company’s accounting basis could revert back to the going concern basis of accounting, resulting in all remaining assets and liabilities at that date being adjusted to their net book value less an adjustment for depreciation and / or amortization calculated from the date the Company entered liquidation through the date it emerged from liquidation. Accordingly, if a change in accounting basis were to occur, it would likely result in a decrease in the reporting basis of the respective assets and liabilities.  The Company can provide no guarantee that it will emerge from liquidation as a going concern entity, nor can it guarantee the method of accounting that would be adopted upon emergence from liquidation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from the Company’s estimates. Such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company believes that its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required by the policies, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are reevaluated periodically, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change. Historically, the Company has found the application of accounting policies to be appropriate, and actual results have not differed materially from those determined using necessary estimates.

The Company has identified certain significant accounting policies that have been applied to the Company’s financial reporting after the adoption of liquidation basis of accounting. These policies are described below.

a. Accrued Liquidation Costs – Under the liquidation basis of accounting, management is required to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the anticipated costs of liquidation. These estimates are subject to change based upon work required for the claims settlement process, changes in market conditions and changes in the strategy surrounding the sale of properties. The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis, the estimated fair value of its assets and all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees, alternative minimum income taxes and other outside services to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the liquidation period.

b. Pension Expense – The Company will terminate its pension plans. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, actuarial valuation analyses are prepared annually to determine the fair value, or termination value, of the plans. These valuations and the ultimate liability to settle the plans may result in adjustments driven by changes in assumptions due to market conditions. The liabilities related to these pension plans will be settled at the same payout percentage as all other unsecured creditor claims.

c. Long-Lived Assets – Real estate and other long-lived assets are recorded at estimated net realizable value based on valuations, purchase agreements and/or letters of intent from interested third parties, when available.

11

d. Income Taxes – To the extent that income taxes, including alternate minimum income taxes, are expected to be incurred as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s properties, such costs are reflected in accrued expenses. As of March 1, 2014 a total of $1.2 million has been accrued. As part of the process of estimating the amount of income taxes to be incurred during the liquidation period, management has taken into consideration the extent to which net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) are expected to be available to offset the amount of income otherwise taxable on the sale of properties. This involved a process of estimating the extent to which each property had a fair value in excess of its tax basis (a “built in gain”) as of the date of emerging from bankruptcy on September 14, 2012. The Company has analyzed the impact of the change in control that occurred on September 14, 2012 when the Company emerged from bankruptcy could have on its ability to utilize its NOLs.  While the analysis is complex and subject to subjective determinations and uncertainties, the Company currently believes that it should qualify for treatment under Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).   As a result, the Company currently believes that its NOLs are not currently subject to an annual limitation under Code Section 382 even though an “ownership change” (as defined under Code Section 382) occurred on September 14, 2012.  However, if the Company were to undergo a subsequent ownership change in the future, the Company’s NOLs could be subject to limitation under Code Section 382.

Results of Operations 

For an entity reporting under the liquidation basis of accounting, the entity is required to present a statement of net assets (which replaces a balance sheet), whereby the assets are reported at estimated realizable amounts and the liabilities are reported at estimated settlement amounts; and a statement of changes in net assets in liquidation (which replaces the statement of operations), which reports changes in estimated fair value and other adjustments recognized during the fiscal year.

Operating Activities for the Twelve Months Ended March 1, 2014

Certain information about the properties of the Company sold during fiscal 2013, including the proceeds generated, net of brokerage commissions and sale costs, is set forth below:

Property Location	Type of Property	Building Size (square feet)		Net Proceeds ($ in millions)		Date of Sale
Southfield, MI	Short term property		60,000	$	2.5	April, 2013
Marietta, GA	Short term property		77,000	$	2.9	July, 2013
Ft. Lauderdale, FL	Short term property		55,000	$	1.9	August, 2013
Elmsford, NY	Medium term property		59,000	$	22.0	August, 2013
Cherry Hill, NJ	Short term property		150,000	$	4.5	September, 2013
Addison, IL	Short term property		68,000	$	1.9	December, 2013
Norcross, GA	Short term property		69,000	$	1.1	February, 2014
Total			538,000	$	36.8

The liquidation basis of accounting requires management to make significant estimates and judgments. The Company adjusts its real estate assets to reflect the estimated net realizable value of the owned property. The net realizable value is estimated, by considering a number of factors and the views of multiple parties from various vantage points, including input from a third party valuation expert. As a result of an aggregate increase in certain properties values by $53.7 million partially offset by the above sales transactions, the value of the Company’s real estate assets increased from $142.6 million as of March 2, 2013 to $157.7 million as of March 1, 2014. During the same twelve-month period, the Company used the aggregate net proceeds from asset sales to pay $33.7 million of allowed claims and the former Majority Shareholder in accordance with the terms of the Plan, reducing the Company’s liabilities under the Plan.

12

In addition to the sale transactions, the Company received an additional $0.9 million in rents and other income during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014. Subsequent to March 1, 2014, the Company sold the Berwyn, Pennsylvania property for net proceeds of approximately $3.0 million and sold the Secaucus Lease for net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million plus the release of a reserve held by the Company on account of a dispute with the Company’s landlord.

The Company’s cash operating costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014 were approximately $16.4 million, of which approximately $10.0 million pertained to real estate related costs, $3.9 million related to professional fees, $2.2 million related to payroll costs and $0.3 million related to other expenditures. As previously noted, overhead expenses have exceeded the original projections and are outpacing the budgeted reserves, primarily due to professional fees; however the Company has obtained the consent of its Series A stockholder to an increase in operating reserves.

As of March 1, 2014, the net assets of the Company available to Common Shareholders was $88.5 million, an increase from $24.8 million as of March 2, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the estimated fair value of the Company’s real estate properties of $53.7 million, the $13.0 million cash raised net of $0.5 million offering costs from the issuance of stock to Third Avenue Trust (“Third Avenue”), and a decrease in the estimated claims distributions. Total assets increased from $159.1 million at the end of fiscal 2012 to $175.4 million at the end of fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of updated real estate values, net of realized sales, and liabilities decreased approximately $47.4 million primarily as a result of payments made in accordance with the Plan. The capital raised during the year ended March 1, 2014 from the stock sale provided the Company with additional liquidity necessary to satisfy obligations during the end of fiscal 2013.

The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis, the estimated fair value of its assets and all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees, alternative minimum income taxes and other outside services in order to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the remaining liquidation period.

Operating Activities for the Twelve Months Ended March 2, 2013

Certain information about the properties of the Company sold during fiscal 2012, including the proceeds generated, net of brokerage commissions and sale costs, is set forth below:

Property Location	Type of Property	Building Size (square feet)		Net Proceeds ($ in millions)		Date of Sale
Miami, FL	Short term property		53,000	$	4.1	September, 2012
Houston, TX	Short term property		42,000	$	3.6	November, 2012
Fairfield, CT	Short term property		43,000	$	5.5	December, 2012
Secaucus, NJ (Condo)	Short term property		2,000	$	0.3	January, 2013
Total			140,000	$	13.5

During December 2012, the Company received a $0.9 million settlement on its Marietta, GA location. This was the result of the second and final payment regarding the 2011 partial condemnation.

13

During December 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to lease its unoccupied space at its Elmsford, NY property. The carrying value of this property as of March 2, 2013 was adjusted to reflect the impact of this transaction.

In addition to the above transactions, the Company received an additional $2.9 million in rents and other income during the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013, $1.1 million of which was received after September 14, 2012. The Company’s operating costs and expenses in the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013 were $19.9 million, with $8.1 million of that amount incurred after September 14, 2012. Overhead expenses during the period exceeded the original projections and outpaced the budgeted reserves, primarily due to professional fees.

As of March 2, 2013, the net assets of the Company available to Common Shareholders was $24.8 million, up from $21.2 million as of February 25, 2012, primarily due to an increase in the estimated fair value of the Company’s real estate properties and a decrease in the estimated claims distributions partially offset by a reduction of $12.9 million in the amount of cash and cash equivalents, which was spent on the prosecution of the Plan and the Company’s operating expenses, and the inclusion of the Company’s obligation to pay $17.8 million to the former Majority Shareholder in exchange for its shares in Syms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively. At March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company’s restricted cash of $5.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Prior to September 14, 2012, the Company used its cash and cash equivalents primarily for the payment of professional fees related to the Chapter 11 cases, as well as its daily operations. After September 14, 2012, the Company has used its cash and equivalents primarily for the payment of professional fees and claims related to the Chapter 11 cases, as well as its daily operations and to fund reserves under the Plan.

On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Third Avenue pursuant to which the Company sold to Third Avenue 3,369,444 shares of the Company’s common stock for $13.5 million, or $4.00 per share. Upon the effectiveness of an amended and restated certificate of incorporation that was approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders, one share of special stock, par value $.01, was issued and sold to Third Avenue for the par value of such share. The share of special stock enables Third Avenue or its affiliated designee to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The sale of shares of the common stock and the share of special stock were made in private placement transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company believes that it would be able to fund its operations through net cash proceeds from property sales; however, the Plan imposes restrictions on the amount of operating expenses that the Company is allowed to incur and pay from such net cash proceeds. As previously discussed, the Company’s $5 million corporate overhead reserve initially contemplated by the Plan has been depleted, primarily due to greater than expected professional fees, and the Company has obtained the consent of the holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, who has the sole authority to approve an increase in the operating reserves, to increase the corporate overhead reserve to $11 million, subject to certain limitations and a reduction of up to approximately $0.8 million if certain anticipated expenses are not incurred. Up to $2.5 million of corporate overhead expenses previously paid by the Company from generally available cash will count toward and be reimbursed from the increased corporate overhead reserve following receipt of net cash proceeds from future property sales. In addition, during fiscal 2013, the Company raised $13.0 million, net of $0.5 million in offering costs, from the issuance of stock (as previously discussed), which can be used to fund overhead and other expenses. The Company believes through the sale of its assets and cash on hand, along with the possibility of additional equity and/or debt financing, it has the cash necessary to satisfy its required claims distributions and operating activities.

14

Under the Plan, the proceeds of a common equity financing can be used to fund operating expenses in excess of the reserves and for other uses, while the proceeds of a debt financing generally must be used to pay creditor claims.

Pursuant to the Plan, with limited exceptions, any excess cash from property sales not applied to fund operating expenses must be distributed in accordance with the priorities established in the Plan. The payments to creditors and the former Majority Shareholder during the year ended March 1, 2014 aggregating $33.7 million were made pursuant to the Plan.

Net Operating Losses

The Company believes that the Rights Offering and the redemption of the Syms shares owned by the former Majority Shareholder that occurred in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 14, 2012 resulted in the Company undergoing an “ownership change,” as that term is used in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  However, the Company has analyzed the impact of such ownership change on its ability to utilize its NOLs, and while the analysis is complex and subject to subjective determinations and uncertainties, the Company currently believes that it should qualify for treatment under Section 382(l)(5) of the Code.  As a result, the Company currently believes that its NOLs are not currently subject to an annual limitation under Code Section 382.  However, if the Company were to undergo a subsequent ownership change in the future, the Company’s NOLs could be subject to limitation under Code Section 382. The Company believes that its U.S. Federal NOLs as of the emergence date were approximately $162.8 million and believes its U.S. Federal NOLs at March 1, 2014 are approximately $193.7 million. Notwithstanding the above, even if all of the Company’s regular U.S. Federal income tax liability for a given year is reduced to zero by virtue of utilizing its NOLs, the Company may still be subject to the U.S. Federal alternative minimum tax (which imposes a tax generally equal to the amount by which 20% of a corporation’s alternative minimum taxable income exceeds the corporation’s regular tax liability, and is calculated in a manner that may reduce the benefit of NOLs) and to state, local or other non-federal income taxes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Trinity Place Holdings Inc.

Secaucus, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of net assets of Trinity Place Holdings Inc., as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of changes in net assets for the period February 25, 2012 to March 1, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedules. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the shareholders of the Company approved a plan of liquidation on November 1, 2011. As a result the Company changed its basis of accounting from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting effective October 30, 2011.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated net assets of Trinity Place Holdings Inc. as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, and the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for the period February 25, 2012 to March 1, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General Business Plan

As of March 1, 2014, the Company owns seven commercial real estate properties and a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector.  The Company’s business plan includes the monetization of its remaining commercial real estate properties and the sale or development of the Trinity Place Property. 

Description of Former Business Operations; Disposition of the Company’s and Filene’s Businesses

Prior to November 2, 2011, all of the Company’s and Filene’s business operations consisted primarily of running retail operations. The Company’s 46 stores offered a broad range of “off-price” first quality, in-season merchandise. As the economy worsened, sales continued to erode and, as a result, cash flow suffered and significant operational losses continued to threaten the on-going businesses. Trade vendors tightened and/or ceased credit terms. As a result, the Company and Filene’s projected that, absent additional financing or measures to monetize certain assets, liquidity would cease to exist.

At a meeting held on November 1, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for it and its subsidiaries to file voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 and liquidate the retail operations. On November 2, 2011, the Company and Filene’s filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the Court. On August 30, 2012, the Court entered an order confirming the Plan by which the Company and its subsidiaries would be reorganized, and the Plan became effective on September 14, 2012.

If the Company and Filene’s are able to generate value in excess of what is needed to satisfy all of their obligations under the Plan, any excess cash proceeds will be used by the Company in the manner determined by the Board of Directors.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

In response to the Chapter 11 filing the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective on October 30, 2011, which was the beginning of the fiscal month closest to the petition date.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable value, liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount and estimated costs over the period of liquidation are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

F-4

The Company does not believe it would qualify for fresh start accounting if it were to emerge from liquidation. Under fresh-start accounting, assets and liabilities are adjusted to fair value. Since fresh-start accounting would likely not apply if the company were to emerge from liquidation, the Company’s accounting basis could revert back to the going concern basis of accounting, resulting in all remaining assets and liabilities at that date being adjusted to their net book value less an adjustment for depreciation and / or amortization calculated from the date the Company entered liquidation through the date it emerged from liquidation. Accordingly, if a change in accounting basis were to occur, it would likely result in a decrease in the reporting basis of the respective assets and liabilities.  The Company can provide no guarantee that it will emerge from liquidation as a going concern entity, nor can it guarantee the method of accounting that would be adopted upon emergence from liquidation.

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with the liquidation basis of accounting requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates include, among others, realizable value of real estate and other assets, accrued liquidation costs, lease settlement costs, and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications 

Certain amounts reported for prior years in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Estimated Costs of Liquidation

Significant estimates and judgment are required to determine the accrued costs of liquidation, which reflects all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees and other outside services to be incurred during the liquidation period. The company’s accrued costs expected to be incurred in liquidation and recorded payments made related to the accrued liquidation costs are as follows (in thousands):

	Balance							Balance							Balance
	March 1,		Adjustments					March 2,		Adjustments					February 25,

Payroll related costs		2,717		1,445		(2,156	)		3,428		4,938		(3,087	)		1,577

The assumptions underlying the estimated accrued costs of liquidation of $17.9 million as of March 1, 2014 contemplated all changes in estimates resulting from the Plan.

The Company reviewed all of its operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, property carrying costs and professional fees to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the liquidation period. The liquidation period, which was initially anticipated to conclude in August 2012, was amended in Fiscal 2012 to conclude in July 2015 based on expectations that substantially all of its real estate properties are likely to be monetized prior to the end of 2014, with a short period thereafter to conclude the liquidation.

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the costs of liquidation reserves as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014:

F-5

Adjustments to increase the reserve for real estate carrying costs of approximately $4.4 million were mainly the result of increasing the estimated expenses due to the higher estimated values of the properties as well as estimated timing of property sales. The estimates assume that two of the Company’s properties will be sold or monetized by May 2014 and the remaining five of its properties, including the Trinity Place Property, will be sold or monetized by the end of December 2014.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for professional fees of approximately $2.6 million reflects increased costs resulting from the complexities of litigating the estate.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for payroll and related liquidation expenses of approximately $1.5 million were primarily the result of settlement charges relating to the separation agreement with the former principle executive officer during the second quarter ended August 31, 2013.

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the costs of liquidation reserves as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013:

Adjustments to increase the reserve for real estate carrying costs of approximately $13.8 million were mainly the result of increasing the estimated expenses to reflect a liquidation period concluding in July 2015. The estimates assumed that eight of the Company’s properties would be sold or monetized by October 2013, another four of its properties would be sold or monetized by October 2014, and the Trinity Place Property would be sold by the end of 2014.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for professional fees of approximately $13.9 million reflects the costs of professionals as a result of extending the expected liquidation period to conclude in July 2015. This also reflects increased costs due to the complexities of litigating the estate as well as the unplanned hiring of a fee examiner during the pre-emergence time period.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for payroll and related liquidation expenses of approximately $4.9 million were primarily the result of extending the expected liquidation period to conclude in July 2015.

Adjustments to the Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

F-6

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014:

Real Estate - The net realizable value of real estate assets was adjusted upward in the aggregate by approximately $53.7 million primarily from an increase in value of the Trinity Place Property, the Secaucus Lease and the property located in West Palm Beach, Florida. The revised estimates were supported by valuations from third party real estate experts. Based on management’s assessment, an estimated net realizable value of real estate of $157.7 million has been recorded at March 1, 2014. See Note 3 - Real Estate for a discussion on valuation methodology.

Lease Settlement Costs – Lease settlement costs have decreased by $4.6 million due to adjustments from 18 locations and cash settlements with three others. These reductions were mainly the result of the Company’s continued efforts to reconcile and settle its remaining lease claims.

Pension Liability – This amount mainly represents a decrease in the unfunded pension liability of the Syms sponsored defined benefit plan primarily as a result of improved performance of the plan’s assets.

Other Claims – This amount mainly represents a decrease in various claims pursuant to the final Plan document and further review by the Company of the validity of the claims made against the Company.

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013:

Real Estate - The net realizable value of real estate assets was adjusted upward in the aggregate by approximately $16.7 million to reflect $15.1 million of revised estimates of management utilizing information obtained from third party real estate experts as of March 2, 2013 as well as $1.6 million in the net incremental sales price of three properties that were sold during fiscal 2012. Based on management’s assessment of available information, an estimated net realizable value of $142.6 million was recorded as of March 2, 2013. See Note 3 - Real Estate for a discussion on valuation methodology.

Other Assets – Other assets have decreased by approximately $2.9 million due mainly to the netting out of assets with corresponding claim liabilities.

Lease Settlement Costs – Lease settlement costs have decreased by $11.9 million due to adjustments from 22 locations. These reductions were mainly the result of the Plan which stipulated that the long-term Filene’s, LLC general unsecured creditors with allowed claims are entitled to a recovery of only 75% on their allowed claims.

Liability to Restore Properties – The Houston, Texas property was sold in November 2012 and the previously recorded liability to repair the roof was assumed by the acquirer of the property, thus the Company reversed the liability upon the consummation of the sale.

Obligation to Former Majority Shareholder – This represents the recognition of amounts due to the former Majority Shareholder during fiscal 2012 in accordance with the terms of the Plan. On September 14, 2012, immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan, the former Majority Shareholder sold all of its 7,857,794 shares of common stock to Syms at $2.49 per share. Payment for the shares will be made to the former Majority Shareholder in accordance with the Plan as Trinity’s real estate assets are monetized. As further discussed in Note 9, $1.8 million due from the Majority Shareholder was reclassified from other assets resulting in a net obligation to the former Majority Shareholder of approximately $17.8 million as of March 2, 2013.

F-7

Obligation to Customers – Obligations to customers represented credits issued for returned merchandise as well as gift certificates. The Company has determined that it no longer has a legal liability to the customers and accordingly the amount of $4.6 million has been derecognized.

Pension Liability – This amount mainly represents a decrease in the unfunded pension liability of the Syms sponsored defined benefit plan primarily as a result of improved performance of the plan’s assets.

Other Claims – This amount mainly represents a decrease in various claims pursuant to the final Plan document and further review by the Company of the validity of the claims made against the Company.

Financial Position

As of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively. At March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company’s restricted cash of $5.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Prior to September 14, 2012, the Company used its cash and cash equivalents primarily for the payment of professional fees related to the Chapter 11 cases, as well as its daily operations. After September 14, 2012, the Company has used its cash and equivalents primarily for the payment of professional fees and claims related to the Chapter 11 cases, as well as its daily operations and to fund reserves under the Plan.

The Company has estimated claims liabilities recorded in its consolidated financial statements of approximately $62.1 million and $102 million at March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. The claims liability includes the Majority Shareholder liability of approximately $7.1 million and $17.8 million at March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014, the Company made cash payments to holders of Allowed Claims, together with other payments required under the Plan, including to the Majority Shareholder, in an aggregate amount of approximately $33.7 million. These payments constituted the full distributions payable to the Allowed Syms and Filene’s Class 3 (Convenience Claims) and the Allowed Syms Unsecured Creditors in Syms Class 4 General Unsecured Claims, and the Syms Class 5 Union Pension Plan, all as defined in the Plan. Because holders of Allowed Filene’s, LLC Class 5(b)(General Unsecured (Long-Term) Claims) (as defined in the Plan) are entitled to a 75% recovery, the Company has recorded the estimated net settlement amount of such claims.

The process of reconciling claims is different from the process of actually resolving claims. Accordingly, the above estimates are based primarily on the Company’s identification and reconciliation of the amounts of asserted claims to the Company’s books and records, and not on the negotiation or settlement of specific claims. Because of the large number of claims filed and the ongoing reconciliation and settlement processes, the ultimate amount of allowed claims and the ultimate amount of distributions under the Plan could be materially different from the Company’s current estimates.

The Company believes that it would be able to fund its operations through net cash proceeds from property sales; however, the Plan imposes restrictions on the amount of operating expenses that the Company is allowed to incur and pay from such net cash proceeds. As previously discussed, the Company’s $5 million corporate overhead reserve initially contemplated by the Plan has been depleted, primarily due to greater than expected professional fees, and the Company has obtained the consent of the holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, who has the sole authority to approve an increase in the operating reserves, to increase the corporate overhead reserve to $11 million, subject to certain limitations and a reduction of up to approximately $0.8 million if certain anticipated expenses are not incurred. Up to $2.5 million of corporate overhead expenses previously paid by the Company from generally available cash will count toward and be reimbursed from the increased corporate overhead reserve following receipt of net cash proceeds from future property sales. In addition, during fiscal 2013, the Company raised $13.0 million, net of $0.5 million in offering costs, from the issuance of stock, which can be used to fund overhead and other expenses. The Company believes through the sale of its assets and cash on hand, along with the possibility of additional equity and/or debt financing, it has the cash necessary to satisfy its required claims distributions and operating activities.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

The liquidation basis of accounting is appropriate when the liquidation of a company appears imminent and the net realizable value of its assets is reasonably determinable. Accordingly, the Company implemented the liquidation basis of accounting effective on October 30, 2011. Under this basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable value and liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount and estimated costs over the period of liquidation are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

a. Accrued Liquidation Costs – Under the liquidation basis of accounting, management is required to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the anticipated costs of liquidation. These estimates are subject to change based upon work required for the claims settlement process, changes in market conditions and changes in the strategy surrounding the sale of properties. The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis, the estimated fair value of its assets and all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees, alternative minimum income taxes and other outside services to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the liquidation period.

b. Pension Expense – The Company will terminate its pension plans. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, actuarial valuation analyses are prepared annually to determine the fair value, or termination value, of the plans. These valuations and the ultimate liability to settle the plans may result in adjustments driven by changes in assumptions due to market conditions. The liabilities related to these pension plans will be settled at the same payout percentage as all other unsecured creditor claims.

c. Long-Lived Assets – Real estate and other long-lived assets are recorded at estimated net realizable value based on valuations, purchase agreements and/or letters of intent from interested third parties, when available.

d. Income Taxes – To the extent that income taxes, including alternate minimum income taxes, are expected to be incurred as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s properties, such costs are reflected in accrued expenses. As of March 1, 2014 a total of $1.2 million has been accrued. As part of the process of estimating the amount of income taxes to be incurred during the liquidation period, management has taken into consideration the extent to which net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) are expected to be available to offset the amount of income otherwise taxable on the sale of properties. This involved a process of estimating the extent to which each property had a fair value in excess of its tax basis (a “built in gain”) as of the date of emerging from bankruptcy on September 14, 2012. The Company has analyzed the impact of the change in control that occurred on September 14, 2012 when the Company emerged from bankruptcy could have on its ability to utilize its NOLs.  While the analysis is complex and subject to subjective determinations and uncertainties, the Company currently believes that it should qualify for treatment under Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).   As a result, the Company currently believes that its NOLs are not currently subject to an annual limitation under Code Section 382 even though an “ownership change” (as defined under Code Section 382) occurred on September 14, 2012.  However, if the Company were to undergo a subsequent ownership change in the future, the Company’s NOLs could be subject to limitation under Code Section 382. The Company believes that its U.S. Federal NOLs as of the emergence date were approximately $162.8 million and believes its U.S. Federal NOLs at March 1, 2014 are approximately $193.7 million.

F-9

Since under liquidation basis accounting all future estimated taxes are accrued as of the reporting date net of the benefit expected to be derived from available NOLs, it is not appropriate to record a separate deferred tax asset on the same NOLs. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $59.9 million was recorded through March 1, 2014.

e. Other Assets – Other assets include trademark license intangibles, with a balance of $0.9 million at March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013 and security deposits with a balance of $1.3 million at March 1, 2014 and $1.7 million as of March 2, 2013.

f. Obligation to Customers - Obligations to customers represented credits issued for returned merchandise as well as gift certificates. When the Company sold a gift certificate to a customer, it was recorded as a liability in the period the sale occurred. When the customer redeemed the gift certificate for the purchase of merchandise, a sale was recorded and the liability reduced. During fiscal 2012, the Company determined that it no longer had a legal liability to these customers and accordingly the amount was reversed, with the exception of filed claims.

g. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include securities with original maturities of three months or less.

h. New Accounting Standard – In April 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and provides guidance as to when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The provisions are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – REAL ESTATE

The estimated net realizable value of owned real estate, including land, building, building improvements and air rights, amounted to $157.7 million and $142.6 million as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. While $157.7 million represents management’s best estimate of the net realizable value of the Company’s real estate properties at the time of finalizing the accompanying consolidated statement of net assets, the amount ultimately realized in the monetization of the real estate could materially differ from this estimate.

F-10

The Company adjusted the carrying value of the real estate assets to reflect the estimated net realizable value of owned property. This value was estimated by considering a number of factors, including but not limited to, input from a third party valuation expert, sales agreements, letters of intent and broker opinions.

The net realizable value of real estate assets was estimated after developing a likely range of values for each of the properties, then selecting a value within each properties range (not necessarily the mid-point) and aggregating those selected values. The ultimate sales price obtained by the Company with respect to any one or all of the properties may vary materially from these estimates based upon numerous factors, including but not limited to macro and local market conditions, the potential for the Company or a prospective buyer to lease the property or to redevelop it, physical and legal (e.g., title) conditions affecting the property, the Company’s ability to deploy capital for leasing activity or to repair or cure issues with respect to the properties, and the ability to carry the properties through a customary or prolonged marketing process.

The estimate of value of the Trinity Place Property is subject to a number of complex factors which could materially affect the value of the property. The estimate of value for this property is subject to additional uncertainty due to the inherent complexities and uncertainties of monetizing the site as a Lower Manhattan mixed use development project, whether developed by the Company or a third party, including zoning and planning issues, hard and soft costs of construction, potential rents or prices of commercial and/or residential space and the mix thereof, the availability of capital to support development, the availability of tax incentives, and competitive projects and forces in the market that are unique to Lower Manhattan. The Company is in the process of analyzing these and other factors, and its estimate of value may change materially as its analysis proceeds. The Company has retained advisors, including architects, construction experts and attorneys to assist it in its evaluation and review of cost estimates and monetization strategies. To date no specific course of action has been determined. As a result, there remains a range of estimated values that may be realized for the Trinity Place Property under the various sale or development alternatives.

The Company expects to continue evaluating the best ways in which to monetize its remaining assets for the benefit of stockholders and creditors.

At March 1, 2014, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $216.2 million. These net operating losses expire in years through fiscal 2033. The Company also had Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $193.7 million. These net operating losses will expire in years through fiscal 2033.

Since under liquidation basis accounting all future estimated taxes are accrued as of the reporting date net of the benefit expected to be derived from available NOLs, it is not appropriate to record a separate deferred tax asset on the same NOLs. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $83.7 million was recorded through March 2, 2013. The valuation allowance was reduced by approximately $23.8 million during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014 to $59.9 million primarily due to the increase in the estimated net realizable values of various Company properties during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014.

NOTE 5 – PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

a. Pension Plan - Syms sponsored a defined benefit pension plan for certain eligible employees not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The pension plan was frozen effective December 31, 2006. As of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company had a recorded liability of $3.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, within accrued expenses which represents the estimated cost to the Company of terminating the plan in a standard termination, which would require the Company to make additional contributions to the plan so that the assets of the plan are sufficient to satisfy all benefit liabilities. The Company had contemplated other courses of action, including a distress termination, whereby the PBGC takes over the plan. On February 27, 2012, the Company notified the PBGC and other affected parties of its consideration to terminate the plan in a distress termination. However, the estimated total cost associated with a distress termination was approximately $15 million. As a result of the cost savings associated with the standard termination approach, the Company elected not to terminate the plan in a distress termination and formally notified the PBGC of this decision. Although the Company has accrued the liability associated with a standard termination, it has not taken any steps to commence such a termination and has made no commitment to do so by a certain date.

The fair values and asset allocation of the Company’s plan assets as of March 1, 2014 and the target allocation for fiscal 2014, by asset category, are presented in the following table (in thousands). All fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy).

				% of Plan
Asset Category	Asset Allocation	Fair Value		Assets
	(in thousands)
Cash and equivalents	0% to 10%	$	295		3	%
Equity Securities	30% to 50%		4,333		44	%
Fixed Income Securities	35% to 55%		4,333		44	%
Alternative Investments	5% to 25%		887		9	%
Total		$	9,848		100	%

Under the provisions of ASC 715, the Company is required to recognize in its consolidated balance sheet the unfunded status of a benefit plan. This is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation. For the pension plan, this is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation.

Certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements participate in multiemployer pension plans. Syms ceased to have an obligation to contribute to these plans in 2012, thereby triggering a complete withdrawal from the plans within the meaning of section 4203 of ERISA. Consequently, the Company is subject to the payment of a withdrawal liability to these pension funds. The additional costs have been estimated at approximately $6.9 million for the multiemployer pension plans. The Company has a recorded liability of $5.3 million and $6.9 million which is reflected in accrued expenses as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. In accordance with minimum funding requirements, the Company paid approximately $1.7 million to the Syms sponsored plan and approximately $1.6 million to the multiemployer plans from September 17, 2012 through March 1, 2014.

b. Profit-Sharing and 401(k) Plan - The Company maintained a profit-sharing plan and 401(k) plan for all employees other than those covered under collective bargaining agreements. In 1995, the Company established a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan for substantially all of its eligible employees. Employees were able to contribute a percentage of their salary to the plan subject to statutory limits. No contributions were made by the Company to this plan in fiscal 2013 or fiscal 2012. The 401K Plan was terminated in November 2012 and distributions were made to its participants.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS

a) Leases - The Company no longer has retail stores subject to ongoing operating lease obligations. Previous operating lease liability claims under 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code for the fiscal years ended March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013 total approximately $37.3 million and $44.6 million, respectively, and are reported in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of net assets.

b) Legal Proceedings - The Company is a party to routine litigation incidental to its business. Some of the actions to which the Company is a party are covered by insurance and are being defended or reimbursed by the Company’s insurance carriers. See Item 3, Legal Proceedings, above for additional information on legal proceedings.

F-15

As discussed in Note 1, Syms and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 on November 2, 2011. On September 14, 2012, a plan of reorganization became effective and Syms and its subsidiaries emerged from bankruptcy, with reorganized Syms merging with and into Trinity.

NOTE 7 – PREFERRED STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue two shares of preferred stock and one share of Special Stock. The Series A Preferred Share, is held by a trustee acting for the benefit of the Company’s creditors. The Series B Preferred Share, is held by the former Majority Shareholder. The Special Stock was issued and sold to Third Avenue and enables Third Avenue or its affiliated designee to elect one member of the Board of Directors.

NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plan

The Company formerly had an Incentive Stock Option and Appreciation Plan that allowed for the granting of incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended), non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights. All outstanding options were cancelled when the Company emerged from bankruptcy on September 14, 2012. Neither the Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan nor the 2005 Plan is available for additional grants.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during fiscal 2012 as there was no stock option activity during fiscal 2013:

	Year Ended

Restricted Stock Units

During fiscal 2013, the Company granted an aggregate of 326,000 RSUs (“Restricted Stock Units”) to certain employees and executives. The Company grants RSUs that are subject to continued employment and service based vesting conditions, but do not have dividend or voting rights. The RSUs vest in various increments typically on the anniversaries of the individual grant dates, through August 2016, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date.

The Company’s restricted stock activity is as follows:

	Year Ended March 1, 2014

Vested		(250,000	)	$	5.00
Non-vested at end of period		76,000		$	6.49

NOTE 9 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is restricted from making any distributions, dividends or redemptions until after the former Majority Shareholder payments are made in full. The Certificate of Incorporation provides for a preferred series share, held by the former Majority Shareholder and which is pledged as security and held in escrow, entitling the Majority Shareholder to control a majority of the Board of Directors if the former Majority Shareholder payments are not made by October 16, 2016, provided and conditioned upon the general unsecured claim satisfaction having occurred.

In addition, as part of the Plan, the former Majority Shareholder agreed to repay the Company $1.6 million for all premiums paid by the Company on her behalf after the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as $0.2 million for the net present value of pre-Sarbanes-Oxley premiums, for a total of $1.8 million. At March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the value of these premiums was recorded as an offset against the payment due under the Plan to the former Majority Shareholder (i.e., Ms. Syms and her related trusts) on account of the redemption of the former Majority Shareholder’s shares of Syms common stock. As of March 2, 2013, the Company had recorded a net liability of $17.8 million due to the former Majority Shareholder. On October 1, 2013 the Company met its Plan obligation to pay the former Majority Shareholder $10.7 million and has a remaining liability of $7.1 million due to the Majority Shareholder recorded on its Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of March 1, 2014.

Ms. Syms, the Company and Filene’s, LLC also entered into an agreement in connection with the Plan whereby the rights to the “Syms” name and to any images of Ms. Syms and her family members were assigned to Ms. Syms. The impact of this provision of the Plan has been reflected in the estimated net realizable value of the trademarks within other assets as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013.

Exhibit 10.6

TRINITY PLACE HOLDINGS INC.

FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), entered into _____________, effective as of _____________ (the “Grant Date”), by and between _____________ (“Employee”) and Trinity Place Holdings Inc. (the “Company”).

1.           Award. The Company hereby grants to Employee, and Employee hereby accepts, an award (the “Restricted Stock Units Award”) of _____________ restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.          Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, Employee shall not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock Units until shares of Common Stock are distributed to Employee in settlement of such Restricted Stock Units.

3.         Vesting. _____________ (___) of the Restricted Stock Units shall be vested on each of [first anniversary of Grant Date][, second anniversary of Grant Date][and third anniversary of Grant Date], subject to Employee’s continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. In the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in Paragraph 21), all of the unvested RSUs shall vest immediately.

4.          Settlement. Subject to Paragraph 9, one share of Common Stock shall be distributed to Employee upon the vesting of each Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with Paragraph 3. Such distribution shall be made within thirty (30) days (or on the sixtieth (60^th) day in connection with the acceleration of vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit upon a termination of employment) following the applicable date of vesting; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Company has the right to pay cash in lieu of making a distribution of Common Stock in an amount per share equal to the average of the closing trading price per share on the 10 trading days prior to settlement (or if the Common Stock is not then traded, the fair market value per share as determined by the Board, as defined below).

5.           Termination of Employment. Upon Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, Employee shall forfeit any then unvested Restricted Stock Units (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting provided for in Paragraph 3) and such Restricted Stock Units will be cancelled for no value.

6.          Adjustments to Shares. In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar transaction), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall adjust Restricted Stock Units to preserve the benefits or potential benefits thereof by adjusting the number and kind of shares subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

1

7.         Section 409A Compliance/Taxes Generally. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Employee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until Employee would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement or any other arrangement between Employee and the Company during the six-month period immediately following Employee’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, Employee’s date of death). The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under 409A or any other provision of the Code. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company makes no representation as to the tax treatment of Employee with respect to the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

8.         Certificates; Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. To the extent that this Agreement provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the payment of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, the transfer of such shares may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange or similar entity. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may pay to Employee an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share.

9.          Withholding. At the time Employee recognizes taxable income with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, Employee shall pay an amount equal to the taxes the Company determines it is required to withhold under applicable tax laws with respect thereto. Employee may satisfy the foregoing requirement (i) by making a payment to the Company in cash, (ii) by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock or (iii) by having the Company withhold a number of shares of Common Stock in which Employee is otherwise entitled under this Agreement (each of (ii) or (iii), “Share Settlement”); provided that Share Settlement shall only be permitted if approved by the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld after taking into account the liquidity of the Common Stock and the Company’s available cash reserves at the time of withholding; and, provided further, that such shares may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). Subject to applicable law, and provided there are no adverse accounting consequences to the Company, if available cash reserves are inadequate to permit share delivery and/or withholding at the time Employee recognizes taxable income with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, but such cash reserves become adequate within the ninety (90) day period immediately thereafter, Employee shall be permitted to deliver to the Company for cash payment shares of Common Stock during such 90 day period in an amount not to exceed Employee’s initial payment obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this section (it being understood that this sentence is not intended to change or otherwise alter the timing of such initial payment obligation).

10.           Nontransferability. Neither the Restricted Stock Units nor any interest or right therein or part thereof may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

2

11.          Protections Against Violations of Agreement. No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Restricted Stock Units by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, will be valid, and the Company will not transfer any shares resulting from the settlement of Restricted Stock Units on its books nor will any of such shares be entitled to vote, nor will any dividends be paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with such provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. The foregoing restrictions are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce such provisions.

12.         Representations. Employee has reviewed with her own tax advisors the applicable tax (U.S., state, and local) consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Employee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Employee understands that she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.         Investment Representation. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Employee, by reason of Employee’s business or financial experience (or the business or financial experience of Employee’s professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect Employee’s own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

14.         Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any benefits deliverable to Employee under this Agreement have not been delivered at the time of Employee’s death, such benefits shall be delivered to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by Employee in a writing filed with the Company in such form and at such time as the Company shall require. If a deceased Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary does not survive Employee, any benefits distributable to Employee shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of Employee.

15.          Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Board or a committee thereof, and the Board or such committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Board or such committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding on all persons.

16.         Not An Employment Contract or Contract of Continued Service. The grant of Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement will not confer on Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any affiliate, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any affiliate would otherwise have to terminate or modify the terms of such Employee’s employment or other service at any time.

17.         Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by written agreement of Employee and the Company.

18.          Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

19.         Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law rules thereof.

PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

NOTE 5 – PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

a. Pension Plan - Syms sponsored a defined benefit pension plan for certain eligible employees not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The pension plan was frozen effective December 31, 2006. As of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company had a recorded liability of $3.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively, within accrued expenses which represents the estimated cost to the Company of terminating the plan in a standard termination, which would require the Company to make additional contributions to the plan so that the assets of the plan are sufficient to satisfy all benefit liabilities. The Company had contemplated other courses of action, including a distress termination, whereby the PBGC takes over the plan. On February 27, 2012, the Company notified the PBGC and other affected parties of its consideration to terminate the plan in a distress termination. However, the estimated total cost associated with a distress termination was approximately $15 million. As a result of the cost savings associated with the standard termination approach, the Company elected not to terminate the plan in a distress termination and formally notified the PBGC of this decision. Although the Company has accrued the liability associated with a standard termination, it has not taken any steps to commence such a termination and has made no commitment to do so by a certain date.

Presented below is financial information relating to this plan for the fiscal years indicated:

As of March 1, 2014 the benefits expected to be paid in the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Year	Amount
2014	$	630
2015		364
2016		498
2017		327
2018		828
2019-2023		3,282

The fair values and asset allocation of the Company’s plan assets as of March 1, 2014 and the target allocation for fiscal 2014, by asset category, are presented in the following table (in thousands). All fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy).

				% of Plan
Asset Category	Asset Allocation	Fair Value		Assets
	(in thousands)
Cash and equivalents	0% to 10%	$	295		3	%
Equity Securities	30% to 50%		4,333		44	%
Fixed Income Securities	35% to 55%		4,333		44	%
Alternative Investments	5% to 25%		887		9	%
Total		$	9,848		100	%

Under the provisions of ASC 715, the Company is required to recognize in its consolidated balance sheet the unfunded status of a benefit plan. This is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation. For the pension plan, this is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation.

Certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements participate in multiemployer pension plans. Syms ceased to have an obligation to contribute to these plans in 2012, thereby triggering a complete withdrawal from the plans within the meaning of section 4203 of ERISA. Consequently, the Company is subject to the payment of a withdrawal liability to these pension funds. The additional costs have been estimated at approximately $6.9 million for the multiemployer pension plans. The Company has a recorded liability of $5.3 million and $6.9 million which is reflected in accrued expenses as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. In accordance with minimum funding requirements, the Company paid approximately $1.7 million to the Syms sponsored plan and approximately $1.6 million to the multiemployer plans from September 17, 2012 through March 1, 2014.

b. Profit-Sharing and 401(k) Plan - The Company maintained a profit-sharing plan and 401(k) plan for all employees other than those covered under collective bargaining agreements. In 1995, the Company established a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan for substantially all of its eligible employees. Employees were able to contribute a percentage of their salary to the plan subject to statutory limits. No contributions were made by the Company to this plan in fiscal 2013 or fiscal 2012. The 401K Plan was terminated in November 2012 and distributions were made to its participants.

Real Estate [Abstract]

REAL ESTATE

NOTE 3 – REAL ESTATE

The estimated net realizable value of owned real estate, including land, building, building improvements and air rights, amounted to $157.7 million and $142.6 million as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. While $157.7 million represents management’s best estimate of the net realizable value of the Company’s real estate properties at the time of finalizing the accompanying consolidated statement of net assets, the amount ultimately realized in the monetization of the real estate could materially differ from this estimate.

The Company adjusted the carrying value of the real estate assets to reflect the estimated net realizable value of owned property. This value was estimated by considering a number of factors, including but not limited to, input from a third party valuation expert, sales agreements, letters of intent and broker opinions.

The net realizable value of real estate assets was estimated after developing a likely range of values for each of the properties, then selecting a value within each properties range (not necessarily the mid-point) and aggregating those selected values. The ultimate sales price obtained by the Company with respect to any one or all of the properties may vary materially from these estimates based upon numerous factors, including but not limited to macro and local market conditions, the potential for the Company or a prospective buyer to lease the property or to redevelop it, physical and legal (e.g., title) conditions affecting the property, the Company’s ability to deploy capital for leasing activity or to repair or cure issues with respect to the properties, and the ability to carry the properties through a customary or prolonged marketing process.

The estimate of value of the Trinity Place Property is subject to a number of complex factors which could materially affect the value of the property. The estimate of value for this property is subject to additional uncertainty due to the inherent complexities and uncertainties of monetizing the site as a Lower Manhattan mixed use development project, whether developed by the Company or a third party, including zoning and planning issues, hard and soft costs of construction, potential rents or prices of commercial and/or residential space and the mix thereof, the availability of capital to support development, the availability of tax incentives, and competitive projects and forces in the market that are unique to Lower Manhattan. The Company is in the process of analyzing these and other factors, and its estimate of value may change materially as its analysis proceeds. The Company has retained advisors, including architects, construction experts and attorneys to assist it in its evaluation and review of cost estimates and monetization strategies. To date no specific course of action has been determined. As a result, there remains a range of estimated values that may be realized for the Trinity Place Property under the various sale or development alternatives.

The Company expects to continue evaluating the best ways in which to monetize its remaining assets for the benefit of stockholders and creditors.

At March 1, 2014, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $216.2 million. These net operating losses expire in years through fiscal 2033. The Company also had Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $193.7 million. These net operating losses will expire in years through fiscal 2033.

Since under liquidation basis accounting all future estimated taxes are accrued as of the reporting date net of the benefit expected to be derived from available NOLs, it is not appropriate to record a separate deferred tax asset on the same NOLs. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $83.7 million was recorded through March 2, 2013. The valuation allowance was reduced by approximately $23.8 million during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014 to $59.9 million primarily due to the increase in the estimated net realizable values of various Company properties during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General Business Plan

As of March 1, 2014, the Company owns seven commercial real estate properties and a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector.  The Company’s business plan includes the monetization of its remaining commercial real estate properties and the sale or development of the Trinity Place Property. 

Description of Former Business Operations; Disposition of the Company’s and Filene’s Businesses

Prior to November 2, 2011, all of the Company’s and Filene’s business operations consisted primarily of running retail operations. The Company’s 46 stores offered a broad range of “off-price” first quality, in-season merchandise. As the economy worsened, sales continued to erode and, as a result, cash flow suffered and significant operational losses continued to threaten the on-going businesses. Trade vendors tightened and/or ceased credit terms. As a result, the Company and Filene’s projected that, absent additional financing or measures to monetize certain assets, liquidity would cease to exist.

At a meeting held on November 1, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for it and its subsidiaries to file voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 and liquidate the retail operations. On November 2, 2011, the Company and Filene’s filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the Court. On August 30, 2012, the Court entered an order confirming the Plan by which the Company and its subsidiaries would be reorganized, and the Plan became effective on September 14, 2012.

If the Company and Filene’s are able to generate value in excess of what is needed to satisfy all of their obligations under the Plan, any excess cash proceeds will be used by the Company in the manner determined by the Board of Directors.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

In response to the Chapter 11 filing the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective on October 30, 2011, which was the beginning of the fiscal month closest to the petition date.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable value, liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount and estimated costs over the period of liquidation are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

The Company does not believe it would qualify for fresh start accounting if it were to emerge from liquidation. Under fresh-start accounting, assets and liabilities are adjusted to fair value. Since fresh-start accounting would likely not apply if the company were to emerge from liquidation, the Company’s accounting basis could revert back to the going concern basis of accounting, resulting in all remaining assets and liabilities at that date being adjusted to their net book value less an adjustment for depreciation and / or amortization calculated from the date the Company entered liquidation through the date it emerged from liquidation. Accordingly, if a change in accounting basis were to occur, it would likely result in a decrease in the reporting basis of the respective assets and liabilities.  The Company can provide no guarantee that it will emerge from liquidation as a going concern entity, nor can it guarantee the method of accounting that would be adopted upon emergence from liquidation.

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with the liquidation basis of accounting requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates include, among others, realizable value of real estate and other assets, accrued liquidation costs, lease settlement costs, and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications 

Certain amounts reported for prior years in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Estimated Costs of Liquidation

Significant estimates and judgment are required to determine the accrued costs of liquidation, which reflects all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees and other outside services to be incurred during the liquidation period. The company’s accrued costs expected to be incurred in liquidation and recorded payments made related to the accrued liquidation costs are as follows (in thousands):

	Balance						Balance						Balance
	March 1,		Adjustments				March 2,		Adjustments				February 25,
Estimated Costs of Liquidation	2014		to Reserves		Payments		2013		to Reserves		Payments		2012
Real estate related carrying costs	$	10,961	$	4,404	$	(9,096)	$	15,653	$	13,763	$	(5,760)	$	7,650
Professional fees		3,666		2,564		(3,944)		5,046		13,879		(31,753)		22,920
Payroll related costs		2,717		1,445		(2,156)		3,428		4,938		(3,087)		1,577
Other		568		459		(251)		360		1,159		(968)		169
	$	17,912	$	8,872	$	(15,447)	$	24,487	$	33,739	$	(41,568)	$	32,316

The assumptions underlying the estimated accrued costs of liquidation of $17.9 million as of March 1, 2014 contemplated all changes in estimates resulting from the Plan.

The Company reviewed all of its operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, property carrying costs and professional fees to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the liquidation period. The liquidation period, which was initially anticipated to conclude in August 2012, was amended in Fiscal 2012 to conclude in July 2015 based on expectations that substantially all of its real estate properties are likely to be monetized prior to the end of 2014, with a short period thereafter to conclude the liquidation.

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the costs of liquidation reserves as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014:

Adjustments to increase the reserve for real estate carrying costs of approximately $4.4 million were mainly the result of increasing the estimated expenses due to the higher estimated values of the properties as well as estimated timing of property sales. The estimates assume that two of the Company’s properties will be sold or monetized by May 2014 and the remaining five of its properties, including the Trinity Place Property, will be sold or monetized by the end of December 2014.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for professional fees of approximately $2.6 million reflects increased costs resulting from the complexities of litigating the estate.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for payroll and related liquidation expenses of approximately $1.5 million were primarily the result of settlement charges relating to the separation agreement with the former principle executive officer during the second quarter ended August 31, 2013.

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the costs of liquidation reserves as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013:

Adjustments to increase the reserve for real estate carrying costs of approximately $13.8 million were mainly the result of increasing the estimated expenses to reflect a liquidation period concluding in July 2015. The estimates assumed that eight of the Company’s properties would be sold or monetized by October 2013, another four of its properties would be sold or monetized by October 2014, and the Trinity Place Property would be sold by the end of 2014.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for professional fees of approximately $13.9 million reflects the costs of professionals as a result of extending the expected liquidation period to conclude in July 2015. This also reflects increased costs due to the complexities of litigating the estate as well as the unplanned hiring of a fee examiner during the pre-emergence time period.

Adjustments to increase the reserve for payroll and related liquidation expenses of approximately $4.9 million were primarily the result of extending the expected liquidation period to conclude in July 2015.

Adjustments to the Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The following table summarizes adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting during the fiscal years ended March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013 (in thousands):

Adjustments of Assets and Liabilities to Net Realizable Value	March 3, 2013  through  March 1, 2014		February 26, 2012 through March 2, 2013
Adjust real estate to estimated net realizable value	$	53,685	$	16,688
Adjust other assets to estimated net realizable value		-		(2,891)
Adjust estimated lease settlement costs to net realizable value		4,574		11,922
Adjust liability to restore properties		-		311
Adjust obligation to former majority shareholder		-		(19,566)
Adjust obligation to customers		-		4,601
Adjust pension liability		1,024		1,860
Adjust other claims to net realizable value		228		(572)
	$	59,511	$	12,353

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014:

Real Estate - The net realizable value of real estate assets was adjusted upward in the aggregate by approximately $53.7 million primarily from an increase in value of the Trinity Place Property, the Secaucus Lease and the property located in West Palm Beach, Florida. The revised estimates were supported by valuations from third party real estate experts. Based on management’s assessment, an estimated net realizable value of real estate of $157.7 million has been recorded at March 1, 2014. See Note 3 - Real Estate for a discussion on valuation methodology.

Lease Settlement Costs – Lease settlement costs have decreased by $4.6 million due to adjustments from 18 locations and cash settlements with three others. These reductions were mainly the result of the Company’s continued efforts to reconcile and settle its remaining lease claims.

Pension Liability – This amount mainly represents a decrease in the unfunded pension liability of the Syms sponsored defined benefit plan primarily as a result of improved performance of the plan’s assets.

Other Claims – This amount mainly represents a decrease in various claims pursuant to the final Plan document and further review by the Company of the validity of the claims made against the Company.

The following discussion explains the adjustments to the fair value of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting as recorded during the fiscal year ended March 2, 2013:

Real Estate - The net realizable value of real estate assets was adjusted upward in the aggregate by approximately $16.7 million to reflect $15.1 million of revised estimates of management utilizing information obtained from third party real estate experts as of March 2, 2013 as well as $1.6 million in the net incremental sales price of three properties that were sold during fiscal 2012. Based on management’s assessment of available information, an estimated net realizable value of $142.6 million was recorded as of March 2, 2013. See Note 3 - Real Estate for a discussion on valuation methodology.

Other Assets – Other assets have decreased by approximately $2.9 million due mainly to the netting out of assets with corresponding claim liabilities.

Lease Settlement Costs – Lease settlement costs have decreased by $11.9 million due to adjustments from 22 locations. These reductions were mainly the result of the Plan which stipulated that the long-term Filene’s, LLC general unsecured creditors with allowed claims are entitled to a recovery of only 75% on their allowed claims.

Liability to Restore Properties – The Houston, Texas property was sold in November 2012 and the previously recorded liability to repair the roof was assumed by the acquirer of the property, thus the Company reversed the liability upon the consummation of the sale.

Obligation to Former Majority Shareholder – This represents the recognition of amounts due to the former Majority Shareholder during fiscal 2012 in accordance with the terms of the Plan. On September 14, 2012, immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan, the former Majority Shareholder sold all of its 7,857,794 shares of common stock to Syms at $2.49 per share. Payment for the shares will be made to the former Majority Shareholder in accordance with the Plan as Trinity’s real estate assets are monetized. As further discussed in Note 9, $1.8 million due from the Majority Shareholder was reclassified from other assets resulting in a net obligation to the former Majority Shareholder of approximately $17.8 million as of March 2, 2013.

Obligation to Customers – Obligations to customers represented credits issued for returned merchandise as well as gift certificates. The Company has determined that it no longer has a legal liability to the customers and accordingly the amount of $4.6 million has been derecognized.

Pension Liability – This amount mainly represents a decrease in the unfunded pension liability of the Syms sponsored defined benefit plan primarily as a result of improved performance of the plan’s assets.

Other Claims – This amount mainly represents a decrease in various claims pursuant to the final Plan document and further review by the Company of the validity of the claims made against the Company.

Financial Position

As of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively. At March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the Company’s restricted cash of $5.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Prior to September 14, 2012, the Company used its cash and cash equivalents primarily for the payment of professional fees related to the Chapter 11 cases, as well as its daily operations. After September 14, 2012, the Company has used its cash and equivalents primarily for the payment of professional fees and claims related to the Chapter 11 cases, as well as its daily operations and to fund reserves under the Plan.

The Company has estimated claims liabilities recorded in its consolidated financial statements of approximately $62.1 million and $102 million at March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. The claims liability includes the Majority Shareholder liability of approximately $7.1 million and $17.8 million at March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 1, 2014, the Company made cash payments to holders of Allowed Claims, together with other payments required under the Plan, including to the Majority Shareholder, in an aggregate amount of approximately $33.7 million. These payments constituted the full distributions payable to the Allowed Syms and Filene’s Class 3 (Convenience Claims) and the Allowed Syms Unsecured Creditors in Syms Class 4 General Unsecured Claims, and the Syms Class 5 Union Pension Plan, all as defined in the Plan. Because holders of Allowed Filene’s, LLC Class 5(b)(General Unsecured (Long-Term) Claims) (as defined in the Plan) are entitled to a 75% recovery, the Company has recorded the estimated net settlement amount of such claims.

The process of reconciling claims is different from the process of actually resolving claims. Accordingly, the above estimates are based primarily on the Company’s identification and reconciliation of the amounts of asserted claims to the Company’s books and records, and not on the negotiation or settlement of specific claims. Because of the large number of claims filed and the ongoing reconciliation and settlement processes, the ultimate amount of allowed claims and the ultimate amount of distributions under the Plan could be materially different from the Company’s current estimates.

The Company believes that it would be able to fund its operations through net cash proceeds from property sales; however, the Plan imposes restrictions on the amount of operating expenses that the Company is allowed to incur and pay from such net cash proceeds. As previously discussed, the Company’s $5 million corporate overhead reserve initially contemplated by the Plan has been depleted, primarily due to greater than expected professional fees, and the Company has obtained the consent of the holder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, who has the sole authority to approve an increase in the operating reserves, to increase the corporate overhead reserve to $11 million, subject to certain limitations and a reduction of up to approximately $0.8 million if certain anticipated expenses are not incurred. Up to $2.5 million of corporate overhead expenses previously paid by the Company from generally available cash will count toward and be reimbursed from the increased corporate overhead reserve following receipt of net cash proceeds from future property sales. In addition, during fiscal 2013, the Company raised $13.0 million, net of $0.5 million in offering costs, from the issuance of stock, which can be used to fund overhead and other expenses. The Company believes through the sale of its assets and cash on hand, along with the possibility of additional equity and/or debt financing, it has the cash necessary to satisfy its required claims distributions and operating activities.

Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is restricted from making any distributions, dividends or redemptions until after the former Majority Shareholder payments are made in full. The Certificate of Incorporation provides for a preferred series share, held by the former Majority Shareholder and which is pledged as security and held in escrow, entitling the Majority Shareholder to control a majority of the Board of Directors if the former Majority Shareholder payments are not made by October 16, 2016, provided and conditioned upon the general unsecured claim satisfaction having occurred.

In addition, as part of the Plan, the former Majority Shareholder agreed to repay the Company $1.6 million for all premiums paid by the Company on her behalf after the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as $0.2 million for the net present value of pre-Sarbanes-Oxley premiums, for a total of $1.8 million. At March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013, the value of these premiums was recorded as an offset against the payment due under the Plan to the former Majority Shareholder (i.e., Ms. Syms and her related trusts) on account of the redemption of the former Majority Shareholder’s shares of Syms common stock. As of March 2, 2013, the Company had recorded a net liability of $17.8 million due to the former Majority Shareholder. On October 1, 2013 the Company met its Plan obligation to pay the former Majority Shareholder $10.7 million and has a remaining liability of $7.1 million due to the Majority Shareholder recorded on its Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of March 1, 2014.

Ms. Syms, the Company and Filene’s, LLC also entered into an agreement in connection with the Plan whereby the rights to the “Syms” name and to any images of Ms. Syms and her family members were assigned to Ms. Syms. The impact of this provision of the Plan has been reflected in the estimated net realizable value of the trademarks within other assets as of March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Mar. 01, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Accrued Liquidation Costs

a. Accrued Liquidation Costs – Under the liquidation basis of accounting, management is required to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the anticipated costs of liquidation. These estimates are subject to change based upon work required for the claims settlement process, changes in market conditions and changes in the strategy surrounding the sale of properties. The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis, the estimated fair value of its assets and all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees, alternative minimum income taxes and other outside services to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the liquidation period.

Pension Expense

b. Pension Expense – The Company will terminate its pension plans. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, actuarial valuation analyses are prepared annually to determine the fair value, or termination value, of the plans. These valuations and the ultimate liability to settle the plans may result in adjustments driven by changes in assumptions due to market conditions. The liabilities related to these pension plans will be settled at the same payout percentage as all other unsecured creditor claims.

Long-Lived Assets

c. Long-Lived Assets – Real estate and other long-lived assets are recorded at estimated net realizable value based on valuations, purchase agreements and/or letters of intent from interested third parties, when available.

Income Taxes

d. Income Taxes – To the extent that income taxes, including alternate minimum income taxes, are expected to be incurred as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s properties, such costs are reflected in accrued expenses. As of March 1, 2014 a total of $1.2 million has been accrued. As part of the process of estimating the amount of income taxes to be incurred during the liquidation period, management has taken into consideration the extent to which net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) are expected to be available to offset the amount of income otherwise taxable on the sale of properties. This involved a process of estimating the extent to which each property had a fair value in excess of its tax basis (a “built in gain”) as of the date of emerging from bankruptcy on September 14, 2012. The Company has analyzed the impact of the change in control that occurred on September 14, 2012 when the Company emerged from bankruptcy could have on its ability to utilize its NOLs.  While the analysis is complex and subject to subjective determinations and uncertainties, the Company currently believes that it should qualify for treatment under Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).   As a result, the Company currently believes that its NOLs are not currently subject to an annual limitation under Code Section 382 even though an “ownership change” (as defined under Code Section 382) occurred on September 14, 2012.  However, if the Company were to undergo a subsequent ownership change in the future, the Company’s NOLs could be subject to limitation under Code Section 382. The Company believes that its U.S. Federal  NOLs as of the emergence date were approximately $162.8 million and believes its U.S. Federal NOLs at March 1, 2014 are approximately $193.7 million.

Since under liquidation basis accounting all future estimated taxes are accrued as of the reporting date net of the benefit expected to be derived from available NOLs, it is not appropriate to record a separate deferred tax asset on the same NOLs. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $59.9 million was recorded through March 1, 2014.

Other Assets

e. Other Assets – Other assets include trademark license intangibles, with a balance of $0.9 million at March 1, 2014 and March 2, 2013 and security deposits with a balance of $1.3 million at March 1, 2014 and $1.7 million as of March 2, 2013.

Obligation to Customers

f. Obligation to Customers - Obligations to customers represented credits issued for returned merchandise as well as gift certificates. When the Company sold a gift certificate to a customer, it was recorded as a liability in the period the sale occurred. When the customer redeemed the gift certificate for the purchase of merchandise, a sale was recorded and the liability reduced. During fiscal 2012, the Company determined that it no longer had a legal liability to these customers and accordingly the amount was reversed, with the exception of filed claims. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

g. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include securities with original maturities of three months or less.

New Accounting Pronouncements

h. New Accounting Standard – In April 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and provides guidance as to when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The provisions are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

The liquidation basis of accounting is appropriate when the liquidation of a company appears imminent and the net realizable value of its assets is reasonably determinable. Accordingly, the Company implemented the liquidation basis of accounting effective on October 30, 2011. Under this basis of accounting, assets are stated at their net realizable value and liabilities are stated at their net settlement amount and estimated costs over the period of liquidation are accrued to the extent reasonably determinable.

a. Accrued Liquidation Costs – Under the liquidation basis of accounting, management is required to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the anticipated costs of liquidation. These estimates are subject to change based upon work required for the claims settlement process, changes in market conditions and changes in the strategy surrounding the sale of properties. The Company reviews, on a quarterly basis, the estimated fair value of its assets and all other remaining operating expenses and contractual commitments such as payroll and related expenses, lease termination costs, professional fees, alternative minimum income taxes and other outside services to determine the estimated costs to be incurred during the liquidation period.

b. Pension Expense – The Company will terminate its pension plans. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, actuarial valuation analyses are prepared annually to determine the fair value, or termination value, of the plans. These valuations and the ultimate liability to settle the plans may result in adjustments driven by changes in assumptions due to market conditions. The liabilities related to these pension plans will be settled at the same payout percentage as all other unsecured creditor claims.

c. Long-Lived Assets – Real estate and other long-lived assets are recorded at estimated net realizable value based on valuations, purchase agreements and/or letters of intent from interested third parties, when available.

d. Income Taxes – To the extent that income taxes, including alternate minimum income taxes, are expected to be incurred as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s properties, such costs are reflected in accrued expenses. As of March 1, 2014 a total of $1.2 million has been accrued.

f. Obligation to Customers - Obligations to customers represented credits issued for returned merchandise as well as gift certificates.
