GRUBB & ELLIS REALTY INCOME TRUST, LIQUIDATING TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-------
1. Organization of the Trust:
Grubb & Ellis Realty Income Trust, Liquidating Trust (the Trust), a
California trust, was organized under an agreement dated May 14, 1992,
between the Trustees and Grubb & Ellis Realty Income Trust (the Company)
whereby the trustees received all of the assets and assumed all of the
liabilities of the Company, which was subsequently dissolved. The purpose
of the Trust was to liquidate the remaining Trust property in a manner to
conserve and protect the liquidating trust estate, and to collect and
distribute the income and proceeds to the beneficiaries of the Trust by May
15, 1995, the date of intended termination. As further explained in Note 3,
although the purpose of the Trust remains the same, the disposition plans
for the Trust's remaining property, the Vintner Square Shopping Center
(formerly the Livermore Arcade Shopping Center), are such that the Trust's
liquidation period has extended beyond May 1995.
2. Basis of Presentation:
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Trust,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulation of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In addition,
certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform to the current year's presentation. The statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996 and the audited financial statements
included therein.
In the opinion of the Trustees, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows for the interim period presented. The
results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. Net Real Estate Investment:
Prior to the inception of the Trust, the Vintner Square Shopping Center
property became subject to an environmental clean-up and remediation
program to remedy soil contamination caused by a former tenant. As of May
15, 1992 (date of inception) $241,000 had been paid in connection with the
testing and remediation program. During 1993, the procedures required to
complete the remediation were approved by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWCB). The Trust had taken legal action against the former
tenant, previous owners and other related parties of the property in order
to recover all costs of the clean-up program. A settlement agreement and
general release was executed on January 18, 1994 which shifted the
liability for the clean-up to a separate entity and incorporated the RWCB's
plan approval. On April 30, 1996 the Trust received a No Further Action
Letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board indicating that the
clean-up requirements imposed by the RWCB have been satisfied and that a
monitoring program will be required for a period of approximately 24
months.
Due to the environmental clean-up program, plans to expand and ultimately
sell the Vintner Square Shopping Center were delayed. However, on July 7,
1995, the Trust executed a loan agreement which provided funds for
financing the rehabilitation and expansion of the shopping center. In
addition, the Trust finalized lease renewals with the three major tenants
in the center, Orchard Supply Hardware, Long's Drugs and Safeway Stores.
The renewed leases result in increased annual rental income and expire in
the years 2011 and 2016.
The Orchard Supply lease involved a build-to-suit agreement for a new
building. Construction activities started in July, 1995 and include the
demolition of a portion of the shopping center. The Trust recorded a
reserve approximating $1,300,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, to
reflect a reduction in the net book value of buildings and improvements for
those assets being demolished. The new Orchard Supply building was
completed on April 1, 1996. The construction schedule called for the
completion of 20,000 sq. ft of new shop space at various intervals from May
24, 1996 to August 15, 1996. The rehabilitation of the original
undemolished shop space and the existing Safeway and Long's stores was
completed in August, 1996.
The Trust recorded an additional net realizable value reserve allowance of
$1,300,000 as of June 30, 1995 and increased the reserve to $1,500,000 as
of December 31, 1995.

4. Restricted Cash
The Vintner Square Shopping Center was sold on September 18, 1996. As part of
the Sales Agreement, the Buyer's lender held-back the distribution of $1,234,000
pending completion of tenant improvement construction. The tenant improvements
were substantially completed in February, 1997. Various lender requirements such
as Tenant Estoppel Statements and Certificates of Occupancy from the City of
Livermore have been delivered to the Lender. Distribution of $992,000 of these
funds to the Trust was made in June, 1997 and an additional $166,000 was
distributed in July, 1997. Distributions of the remaining balance of these funds
is expected in August, 1997.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Financial Condition:
Cash and cash equivalents increase from March 30, 1997 to June 30, 1997 by
$705,000 resulting from releasing of the restricted cash by buyer's lender.
Results of Operations:
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30,
1996:
A $196,000 loss was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared with a loss of $179,000 in the comparable period in 1996, as a
result of the elimination of rental income due to the sale of Vintner
Square Shopping Center, and unanticipated construction costs after the sale
of the project.
Mortgage loan interest decreased from $289,000 to zero during the period
resulting from the payoff of the mortgage as a result of the sale of
Vintner Square Shopping Center.
