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 March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Continued 6 of 11 7 GRUBB & ELLIS REALTY INCOME TRUST, LIQUIDATING TRUST NOTES CONDENSED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------- 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 is 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. Continued 7 of 11 8 GRUBB & ELLIS REALTY INCOME TRUST, LIQUIDATING TRUST NOTES CONDENSED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------- 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 these funds to the Trust is expected in May, 1997. Continued 8 of 11 9 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Changes in Financial Condition: Cash and cash equivalents decreased from December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997 by $306,000 resulting from payment of additional construction costs. A total of $1,289,000 of restricted cash was held on March 31, 1997 which includes a hold back of $1,234,000 by the Buyer's lender until completion of certain tenant improvements. Results of Operations: Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996: A $158,000 loss was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared with a loss of $89,000 in the comparable period in 1996, as a result of decreased 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 $130,000 to zero during the period resulting from the payoff of the mortgage as a result of the sale of Vintner Square Shopping Center. Potential Factors Affecting Future Operating Results: ON JUNE 28, 1996 THE TRUST ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO SELL THE SHOPPING CENTER AND THE CLOSE OF ESCROW WAS SEPTEMBER 18, 1996. THE TERMS OF THE SALE WERE ALL CASH TO THE TRUST EXCEPT FOR $1,234,000 HELD BACK BY THE PURCHASER'S LENDER PENDING COMPLETION OF THE TENANT SPACE NOT COMPLETED AS OF THE CLOSING DATE. In addition to the lender hold-back there is an $11,000 hold-back by the Buyer to be released to the Trust upon rental commencement of the tenants in the buildings that were not completed at the time of the sale. 9 of 11 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Items 1 through 4 are not applicable.
