In October 2018, the Predecessor announced the withdrawal of its common stock from listing on the NYSE in connection with the conversion. November 2, 2018 was the last day Common Shares were traded on the NYSE and the stock transfer books were closed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such date. At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding share of common stock was converted into one unit of common membership interest in the LLC (a “Unit”), and holders of Common Shares automatically received one Unit (which Unit was in book entry form) for each share of our common stock held by such stockholder. Holders of Units should note that unlike Common Shares, which, in addition to being listed on the NYSE, were freely transferable, Units are not listed for trading and generally are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Therefore, the recipients of Units will not have the ability to realize any value from these interests except from distributions made by the Company, the timing of which will be solely in the discretion of the Board of Managers. On October 26, 2018, the Board designated Randolph C. Read, P. Sue Perrotty, Craig T. Bouchard, Howard Goldberg and Joe C. McKinney, representing all the previous members of the Board, to serve as the initial members of the Board of Managers.

The Company was deemed to be the same entity as the Predecessor with the same assets and liabilities as the Predecessor. In addition, the charter and bylaws of the Predecessor were replaced by the operating agreement of the Company. For tax purposes, the fair value of each Unit in the Company received by stockholders when the conversion became effective, which reflected the value of the remaining assets of the Company (net of liabilities), was equal to the average of the high and low trading prices for shares of the Predecessor’s common stock on the last three days on which the shares were traded on the NYSE. For a detailed description of the federal income tax and investment considerations relating to the conversion and its effects on our interests in the Predecessor, please see the Predecessor’s proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2018.

The business of the Company is the same as the business of the Predecessor immediately preceding the conversion, which, consistent with the Liquidation Plan, consists of the continued ownership of the Predecessor’s interest in Worldwide Plaza, the only remaining property-related asset. Under its operating agreement, the business and affairs of the Company will be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Managers, and the sole purpose is winding up the affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its remaining asset. The Company will remain in existence until the earlier of (i) the distribution of all its assets pursuant to liquidation or (ii) four years from the effective time of the conversion. The term may be extended to such later date as the Board of Managers determines is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Company.

The dissolution process and the amount and timing of future distributions to unitholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to unitholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of the approval of the Liquidation Plan by the stockholders, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of January 1, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2016 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on January 1, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their liquidation value,

which represented the estimated amount of cash that the Company expected to collect on disposal of assets as it carried out its liquidation activities under the Liquidation Plan. All properties have been sold except for the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. The Company projects that the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza will be sold approximately during the fourth quarter of 2021. The actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining property.

The Company accrues costs and revenues that it expects to incur and earn as it carries out its liquidation activities through the end of the projected liquidation period to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. Estimated costs expected to be incurred through the end of the liquidation period include corporate overhead costs associated with satisfying known and contingent liabilities and other costs associated with the winding down and dissolution of the Company. Revenues are based on current interest rate assumptions. These amounts are classified as a net liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. Actual costs and revenues may differ from amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material. See Note 4 for further discussion. Actual costs incurred but unpaid as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

As a result of the change to the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company no longer presents a Consolidated Balance Sheet, a Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), a Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity or a Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates

Certain of the Company’s accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. The Company is required to estimate all costs and revenue it expects to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash it expects to collect on the disposal of its assets and the estimated costs to dispose of its assets. All of the estimates and evaluations are susceptible to change and actual results could differ materially from the estimates and evaluations.

Revenue Recognition

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company accrued all revenue that it expected to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent it had a reasonable basis for estimation. Revenues were accrued based on contractual amounts due under the leases in place over the estimated hold period of each asset. These amounts were classified within liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

In accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, as of January 1, 2017, tenant and other receivables were adjusted to their net realizable values. Management continually reviewed tenant and other receivables to determine collectability. Any changes in the collectability of the receivables was reflected in the net realizable value of the receivable.

The Company owned certain properties with leases that included provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may have been monthly, quarterly or annual targets. Contingent rental income was not contemplated under liquidation accounting unless there was a reasonable basis to estimate future receipts.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

The Company accounts for its investment in unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control the entity and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.

The investment in unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its liquidation value, or net realizable value, which is comprised of an estimate of the expected sale proceeds upon disposition plus the estimated net cash flow from the venture during the liquidation period. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its unconsolidated joint venture at each reporting period. Any changes in net realizable value will be reflected as a change in the Company’s net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of the Company’s remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza as of March 31, 2019 is based on a value of the property consistent with the value of the property at the time of the Company’s sale of its 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza in October 2017 (see Note 6).

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of the $90.7 million capital improvement reserve for Worldwide Plaza and $1.4 million being held in escrow in connection with the sale of the Viceroy Hotel (the “Viceroy Escrow”). The Viceroy Escrow was established from proceeds of the sale of the Viceroy Hotel and was required to cover a potential seller’s obligation to fund any shortfalls to the New York Hotel Pension Fund should the Purchaser of the property withdraw from the Pension Fund without fully funding the then outstanding shortfall due to the Pension Fund.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements that are applicable or relevant to the Company under the liquidation basis of accounting.

Note 4 - Liability for Estimated Costs in Excess of Estimated Receipts During Liquidation

The liquidation basis of accounting requires the Company to estimate net cash flows from operations and to accrue all costs associated with implementing and completing the plan of liquidation. The Company currently estimates that it will have costs in excess of estimated receipts during the liquidation. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing and estimates for operating expenses, interest earned on reserves and the costs associated with the winding down of operations. These costs are estimated and are anticipated to be paid out over the liquidation period.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued the following net expenses expected to be incurred during liquidation (in thousands):

The change in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 5 – Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $11.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to a liquidating distribution to unitholders of $11.9 million and a $0.6 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated liabilities. The decrease in net assets was offset by an increase of $0.7 million related to an extended estimated hold period for Worldwide Plaza.

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $330.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to a liquidating distribution to common stockholders of $335.9 million and a $4.0 million decrease in the estimated liquidation value of the Viceroy property, which was directly offset by a release of liability of $4.3 million associated with the termination of the Viceroy management agreement. The decrease in net assets was further offset by a net increase of $2.9 million due to a remeasurement of estimated receipts and an increase of $2.3 million related to an extended estimated hold period for Worldwide Plaza.

The net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2019, presented on an undiscounted basis include the Company’s proportionate share in Worldwide Plaza’s net assets which include a property value at $1.725 billion based on the Company’s sale of its 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza discussed in Note 6. Future increases in value of Worldwide Plaza, if any, from the agreed additional capital investment will be reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets when such capital investments are made and such increases in market value can be observed.

There were 16,791,769 Units outstanding at March 31, 2019. The net assets in liquidation as of March 31, 2019, if sold at their net asset value, would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $21.48 per unit. On May 6, 2019, the Board declared a cash liquidating distribution of $0.10 per unit payable on May 20, 2019 to unitholders of record on May 13, 2019, reducing the estimate of future liquidating distributions to $21.38 per unit. The net assets in liquidation as of March 31, 2019 of $360.8 million, if sold at their net asset value, plus the cumulative liquidating distribution to unitholders of $999.3 million ($59.51 per unit) prior to March 31, 2019 would result in cumulative liquidating distributions to unitholders of $80.99 per Unit. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections, and they could change materially based on the timing of the sale, the performance of the underlying asset and any changes in the underlying assumptions of the projected cash flows.

Note 6 — Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On October 30, 2013, the Predecessor purchased 48.9% equity interest in Worldwide Plaza for a contract purchase price of $220.1 million, based on the property value at that time for Worldwide Plaza of $1.3 billion less $875 million of debt on the property.

On June 1, 2017, the Predecessor acquired an additional 49.9% equity interest in Worldwide Plaza on exercise of the WWP Option pursuant to the Predecessor’s rights under the joint venture agreement of Worldwide Plaza for a contract purchase price of $276.7 million, based on the option price of the property of approximately $1.4 billion less $875.0 million of debt on the property. The Predecessor’s joint venture partner exercised its right to retain 1.2% of the aggregate membership interests in Worldwide Plaza. Following the exercise of the option, the Company owned a total equity interest of 98.8% in Worldwide Plaza.

On October 18, 2017, the Predecessor sold a 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza to a joint venture managed by SL Green Realty Corp. and RXR Realty LLC based on an estimated underlying property value of $1.725 billion. In conjunction with the equity sale, there was a concurrent $1.2 billion refinancing of the existing Worldwide Plaza debt. The Predecessor received cash at closing of approximately $446.5 million from the sale and excess proceeds from the financing, net of closing costs which included $108.3 million of defeasance and prepayment costs. The new debt on Worldwide Plaza bears interest at a blended rate of approximately 3.98% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and matures in November 2027.

The Company has set aside $90.7 million of the proceeds in a separate account to fund future capital improvements to Worldwide Plaza. Following the sale of its interest, the Company now holds a 50.1% interest in Worldwide Plaza. The Company has determined that this investment is an investment in a variable interest entity (VIE). The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

The lease with one of the tenants at the Worldwide Plaza property contains a right of first offer in the event that Worldwide Plaza sells 100% of the property. The right requires Worldwide Plaza to offer the tenant the option to purchase 100% of the Worldwide Plaza property, at the price, and on other material terms, proposed by Worldwide Plaza to third parties. If, after a 45-day period, that tenant does not accept the offer, Worldwide Plaza may then sell the property to a third party, provided that Worldwide Plaza will be required to re-offer the property to that tenant if it desires to sell the property for a purchase price (and other economic consideration) less than 92.5% of the initial purchase price contained in the offer to that tenant.

The condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 for Worldwide Plaza are as follows:

Note 7 — Common Stock

In March 2018, the Predecessor effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split pursuant to which each of ten Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the close of market on March 15, 2018 were automatically combined into one Common Share, subject to elimination of fractional shares. All references to Common Shares or Units outstanding and per Common Share or per Unit amounts have been restated to reflect the effect of the reverse split for all periods presented.

The Company had 16.8 million Units outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company expects to make periodic liquidating distributions out of cash flow distributions received from Worldwide Plaza and proceeds from the ultimate sale of our interest in Worldwide Plaza, subject to satisfying its liabilities and obligations, in lieu of regular monthly dividends. During 2017 and 2018, the Company paid aggregate liquidating distributions equal to $58.80 per share/unit. On March 25, 2019, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $0.71 per unit. On May 6, 2019, the Company declared a cash liquidating distribution of $0.10 per unit payable to unitholders of record as of May 13, 2019. There can be no assurance as to the actual amount or timing of future liquidating distributions stockholders will receive.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. There are no legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company from which the Company expects to incur a material loss.

The Company maintains environmental insurance for its properties that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations.

Viceroy Hotel

The Viceroy Hotel was sold in October 2018. Revenues for related parties at the Viceroy Hotel were $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Winthrop Advisor and its Affiliates

On December 19, 2016 the Company entered into an agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Winthrop Advisor, pursuant to which Winthrop Advisor is serving as exclusive advisor to the Company from and after March 8, 2017.

The Company and the Winthrop Advisor entered into a second amendment to the Advisory Agreement on June 6, 2018 and a third amendment to the Advisory Agreement on August 7, 2018, and the revised terms on the Advisory Agreement following these amendments are described below.

The term of the Advisory Agreement ended on the effective date of the conversion of the Company to a liquidating entity (the “Liquidation Date”). The term of the Advisory Agreement automatically renews for a one-month period on the expiration of the term or any renewal term, unless terminated by a majority of the Board of Managers or the Winthrop Advisor, upon written notice 45 days before the expiration of the term or any renewal term and will automatically terminate at the effective time of the final disposition of the assets held by the Company. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated upon 15 days written notice by a majority of the Board of Managers if the Company’s chief executive officer resigns or is otherwise unavailable to serve as the Company’s chief executive officer for any reason and the Winthrop Advisor has not proposed a new chief executive officer acceptable to a majority of the Board of Managers. On July 12, 2018, the Company’s independent directors voted unanimously to appoint John Garilli as Chief Executive Officer upon the resignation of Wendy Silverstein from the position and accordingly did not exercise the Company’s right to terminate the Advisory Agreement.

Because the Predecessor converted to the Company effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on November 7, 2018, November 7, 2018 is the Liquidation Date, and, accordingly, the current term of the Advisory Agreement expired on November 7, 2018. Since no notice of termination of the Advisory Agreement has been received by either party, the Advisory Agreement automatically renewed at the end of the current term for a term ending December 7, 2018 and will thereafter continue to automatically renew for additional one-month terms unless otherwise terminated as described above.

Beginning on March 1, 2017, and continuing through the Liquidation Date, the Company paid Winthrop Advisor an asset management fee equal to 0.325% per annum of the cost of assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) up to $3.0 billion and 0.25% per annum of the cost of assets in excess of $3.0 billion.

In determining the Cost of Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) for purposes of calculating the management fee payable to the Winthrop Advisor, the cost of the Viceroy Hotel was, for each month from and after April 2018, deemed to equal its then-current book value.

Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 and ending on the Liquidation Date, the Company paid Winthrop Advisor a supplemental fee of $25,000 per quarter (prorated for any partial quarter) in addition to the base management fee.

13

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2019

(unaudited)

Following the Liquidation Date, the Company will pay to the Winthrop Advisor a monthly fee of $100,000 and a supplemental fee of $50,000 per quarter (prorated for any partial quarter) for any period that the principal executive and financial officers of the Company are required to certify the financial and other information contained in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.

From and after March 1, 2018, the Company agreed to reimburse the Winthrop Advisor for the compensation of Wendy Silverstein as the Company’s chief executive officer or otherwise, in such amounts as agreed to between the Winthrop Advisor and the Company, which provision is no longer applicable following Wendy Silverstein’s resignation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company reimbursed Winthrop Advisor $167,000 for compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.

In connection with the adoption of liquidation accounting, the Company accrues costs it expects to incur through the end of liquidation. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has accrued asset management fees and compensation reimbursements totaling $1.4 million payable to Winthrop Advisor representing management’s estimate of future asset management fees to final liquidation, provided there is no assurance that the contract will continue to be extended at the same terms, if at all. This amount is included in estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation.

In connection with the payment of (i) any distributions of money or other property by the Company to its stockholders or unitholders during the term of the Advisory Agreement and (ii) any other amounts paid to the Company’s stockholders or unitholders on account of their shares of common stock or membership interests in the Company in connection with a merger or other change in control transaction pursuant to an agreement with the Company entered into after March 8, 2017 (such distributions and payments, the “Hurdle Payments”), in excess of $110.00 per share (adjusted for the Reverse Split, the “Hurdle Amount”), when taken together with all other Hurdle Payments, the Company will pay an incentive fee to Winthrop Advisor in an amount equal to 10.0% of such excess (the “Incentive Fee”). The Hurdle Amount will be increased on an annualized basis by an amount equal to the product of (a) the Treasury Rate plus 200 basis points and (b) the Hurdle Amount minus all previous Hurdle Payments. Based on the current estimated undiscounted net assets in liquidation, the Winthrop Advisor would not be entitled to receive any such incentive fee.

The Property Manager provided property management services to certain properties. The Company paid to the Property Manager 1.75% of gross revenues, inclusive of all third party property management fees, for property management services provided to the Company by the Property Manager or any of its affiliates. As of December 31, 2018, all of the Company’s properties managed by the Property Manager were sold.

The following table details amounts incurred by the Company to the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates in connection with the operations related services described above for the periods presented. There were no amounts payable to or due from the Winthrop Advisor as of the dates specified.

Note 10 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged Winthrop Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with Winthrop Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services, transaction management and investor relations.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 11 — Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Plan

The Company’s employee and director incentive restricted share plan (“RSP”) provided the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company’s directors and officers, employees of New York Recovery Advisors, LLC (the “Former Advisor”) and its affiliates, employees of entities that provided services to the Company, directors of the Former Advisor or of entities that provided services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Former Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provided services to the Company.

Under the RSP, the annual amount granted to the independent directors was determined by the Board. The maximum number of shares of stock granted under the RSP could not exceed 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Restricted shares issued to independent directors generally vested over a three- year period in increments of 33.3% per annum. Generally, such awards provided for accelerated vesting of (i) all unvested restricted shares upon a change in control or a termination without cause and (ii) the portion of the unvested restricted shares scheduled to vest in the year of voluntary termination or the failure to be re-elected to the board.

Restricted shares could not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions were removed and the shares vested. Holders of restricted shares received cash dividends and other distributions (including any liquidating distributions made pursuant to the Liquidation Plan) prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares lapsed. Any dividends payable in shares of common stock were subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares. On October 5, 2018, the Board released all restrictions on any remaining unvested restricted shares.

The RSP was terminated upon conversion to the Company.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

March 31, 2019

In order to comply with applicable tax laws, the Predecessor converted into a limited liability company known as New York REIT Liquidating LLC. The conversion to the Company was approved by the stockholders on September 7, 2018 and became effective on November 7, 2018. The Liquidation Plan enables us to sell our assets without further approval of the stockholders or unitholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the stockholders as determined by the Board, and following the conversion, to our unitholders as determined by the Board of Managers.

In October 2018, we announced the withdrawal of our common stock from listing on the NYSE in connection with the conversion. November 2, 2018 was the last day on which shares of our common stock were traded on the NYSE and our stock transfer books were closed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such date. At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding share of common stock was converted into one unit of common membership interest in the LLC (a “Unit”), and holders of shares of our common stock automatically received one unit (which unit was in book entry form) for each share of our common stock held by such stockholder. Holders of shares of our Units should note that unlike shares of our common stock, which, in addition to being listed on the NYSE, were freely transferable, Units are not listed for trading and generally are not transferable except by will intestate succession or operation of law. Therefore, the recipients of Units will not have the ability to realize any value from these interests except from distributions made by the Company, the timing of which will be solely in the discretion of the Board of Managers. On October 26, 2018, the Board designated Randolph C. Read, P. Sue Perrotty, Craig T. Bouchard, Howard Goldberg and Joe C. McKinney, representing all the previous members of the Board, to serve as the initial members of the Board of Managers.

The Company is deemed to be the same entity as the Predecessor with the same assets and liabilities as the Predecessor. In addition, the charter and bylaws of the Predecessor were replaced by the operating agreement of the Company. For tax purposes, the fair value of each Unit in the Company received by stockholders when the conversion became effective, which reflected the value of the remaining assets of the Company (net of liabilities), was $14.00 per unit and was equal to the average of the high and low trading prices for shares of the Predecessor’s common stock on the last three days on which the shares were traded on the NYSE. For a detailed description of the federal income tax and investment considerations relating to the conversion and its effects on our interests in the Predecessor, please see the Predecessor’s proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2018.

The business of the Company is the same as the business of the Predecessor immediately preceding the conversion, which, consistent with the Liquidation Plan, consists of the continued ownership of the Predecessor’s interest in Worldwide Plaza, the only remaining property-related asset. Under its operating agreement, the business and affairs of the Company will be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Managers, and the sole purpose is winding up the affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its remaining asset. The Company will remain in existence until the earlier of (i) the distribution of all its assets pursuant to liquidation or (ii) four years from the effective time of the conversion. The term may be extended to such later date as the Board of Managers determines is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Company.

The dissolution process and the amount and timing of distributions to unitholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to unitholders, and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. To date, liquidating distributions totaling $59.51 per common share/unit have been paid.

Liquidation Plan

To date, all of our assets have been sold except our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. For purposes of liquidation accounting, our estimate of net assets in liquidation value assumes a sale of Worldwide Plaza at March 31, 2020 based on a value of $1.725 billion. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of future asset sales.

The net assets in liquidation of $360.8 million at March 31, 2019 are presented on an undiscounted basis and does not include Management’s estimated future increase in value from the planned investment in the repositioning of Worldwide Plaza. Our current estimate of the liquidation value of investment in unconsolidated joint venture includes

Worldwide Plaza at $1.725 billion which is based on our sale of a 48.7% interest in the property on October 18, 2017 as discussed in Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Our venture partners have jointly developed and recommended a capital budget, which we have agreed to. The timing of the sale of the property, and the ultimate value we receive from the sale, are subject to change. The capital plan includes targeted capital improvements aimed at maintaining the institutional quality of the building and an appropriate allocation to allow for critical tenant lease renewals and rolls. In addition, capital will be available for new management to focus on repositioning the property as a more modern asset, with a corresponding program to rebrand and likely rename the building as well as energizing and maximizing the potential of the retail and concourse space. We have set aside approximately $90.7 million from the refinancing proceeds to cover an estimate of our share of potential future leasing and capital costs at the property. To the extent the full $90.7 million reserve is not used, the balance is expected to be available for distribution to unitholders. Our joint venture partners have committed to contribute their pro-rata share of the budgeted capital investment. To date, all capital costs incurred at the property have been satisfied from operating cash flow of the property.

Management believes that the combined team of SL Green and RXR Realty will add the necessary talent, expertise and capital, along with the capital contributed by us, to bring this Class A asset with its investment grade tenant roster to its full potential. Management believes that implementation of the business plan for Worldwide Plaza will take at least two years and may take up to four years given the size of the building, which is a little over 2 million square feet, the scope and nature of the capital investment and to allow time for the critical milestones in leasing and asset repositioning to take place. Management’s estimate, like any estimate or projection, is subject to various assumptions and uncertainties including the joint venture’s ability to execute on the business plan, tenants paying their rental obligations, the equity capital and financing markets and New York City market conditions generally. There is no assurance that the joint venture will be successful in taking these various actions and that these actions will, in fact, result in the estimated increase in the value of the property.

Current Activity

For the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, there were no property sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.8 million. Our total assets and undiscounted net assets in liquidation were $364.6 million and $360.8 million, respectively, at March 31, 2019.

Our principal demands for funds are to pay or fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidating distributions to our unitholders. We believe that cash flow distributions we expect to receive from our investment in Worldwide Plaza will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our operating, administrative and other expenses incurred during liquidation. Our principal sources and uses of funds are further described below.

Principal Sources of Funds

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level at Worldwide Plaza, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants at Worldwide Plaza and the level of operating and other costs, including general and administrative expenses and other expenses associated with carrying out our Liquidation Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 we received net distributions of $5.2 million in respect of our interest in Worldwide Plaza.

Sales Proceeds

In connection with the Liquidation Plan, we plan to sell all of our assets.

Principal Use of Funds

Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2019, we owned a 50.1% interest in the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza. In connection with the leasing of the property, the joint venture entered into agreements with its tenants to provide allowances for tenant improvements. These allowances require the joint venture to fund capital expenditures up to amounts specified in the lease agreements. Our share of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was funded from property cash flow.

In October 2017 we set aside approximately $90.7 million from the proceeds of our sale of a 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza to cover estimated future leasing and capital improvement costs at the property. Our joint venture partners have committed to contribute their pro-rata share of the budgeted capital investment. To date, none of the $90.7 million has been utilized.

Liquidating Distributions

Until such time as we are able to dispose of our remaining asset, the actual amount and timing of, and record dates for, future liquidating distributions will be determined by our Board of Managers and will depend upon the timing and amount of cash flow distributions we receive from our Worldwide Plaza joint venture and the amounts deemed necessary by our Board of Managers to pay or provide for our liabilities and obligations. The timing and amount of our final liquidating distribution will be dependent on the timing and proceeds of the sale of our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. As the Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, any such liquidating distributions on the Units will be deemed a return of capital.

Cash Flows

Our level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $7.0 million from $17.8 million at December 31, 2018 to $10.8 million at March 31, 2019.

The holders of Common Shares approved the Liquidation Plan on January 3, 2017, and we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective January 1, 2017. We did not make any acquisitions in new investments in 2019, and, in accordance with the Liquidation Plan, no further acquisitions are expected.

We had no sources of non-operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our primary uses of non-operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include:

Our primary sources of non-operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2018 include:

Contractual Obligations

We did not have any contractual debt or lease obligations as of March 31, 2019.

Comparability of Financial Data From Period to Period

Results of Operations

Our remaining asset continues to perform in a manner that is relatively consistent with prior reporting periods. We have experienced no significant changes in occupancy or rental rates at Worldwide Plaza.

Occupancy and Leasing

As of March 31, 2019 Worldwide Plaza was 96.4% leased, compared to 98.2% as of March 31, 2018.

Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $11.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to a liquidating distribution to unitholders of $11.9 million and a $0.6 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated liabilities. The decrease in net assets was offset by an increase of $0.7 million related to an extended estimated hold period for Worldwide Plaza.

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $330.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to a liquidating distribution to common stockholders of $335.9 million and a $4.0 million decrease in the estimated liquidation value of the Viceroy property, which was directly offset by a release of liability of $4.3 million associated with the termination of the Viceroy management agreement. The decrease in net assets was further offset by a net increase of $2.9 million due to a remeasurement of estimated receipts and an increase of $2.3 million related to an extended estimated hold period for Worldwide Plaza.

The net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2019, which are presented on an undiscounted basis, includes Worldwide Plaza valued at $1.725 billion which is based on the sale of a 48.7% interest in the property as discussed in Note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and excludes Management’s estimate of any future increase in value from the planned investment in the repositioning of Worldwide Plaza, resulting in estimated future liquidating distributions of approximately $21.48 per unit. This estimate of liquidating distributions includes projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the period required to complete the Liquidation Plan. As of October 18, 2017, Worldwide Plaza is managed by a joint venture of SL Green and RXR Realty, two of the largest owner operators in New York City. We, along with our joint venture partners, are committed to investing significant additional capital into Worldwide Plaza to further improve and reposition the asset which we believe includes embedded opportunities to roll leases to increase the value of the property. Any increase in the future market value of Worldwide Plaza will be reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in liquidation as the specific actions related to the repositioning have been completed and such increases in market value can be observed. Management’s estimate, like any estimate or projection, is subject to various assumptions and uncertainties including the joint venture’s ability to execute on the business plan, tenants paying their rental obligations, the equity capital and financing markets and New York City market conditions generally. There is no assurance that the joint venture will be successful in taking these various actions and that these actions will, in fact, result in the estimated increase in the value of the property.

Our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared on the liquidation basis of accounting and accordingly include an estimate of the liquidation value of our assets and other estimates, including estimates of anticipated cash flow, timing of asset sales and liquidation expenses. These estimates update estimates that we have previously provided. These estimates are based on multiple assumptions, some of which may prove to be incorrect, and the actual amount of liquidating distributions we pay to you may be more or less than these estimates. We cannot assure you of the actual amount or timing of liquidating distributions you will receive pursuant to the Liquidation Plan.

Tax Status

We elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year and continuing through the conversion date, we were organized and operated in a manner so that we qualified for taxation as a REIT under the Code. While qualified for taxation as a REIT, we generally were not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income that we distributed to our stockholders.

Following the conversion, we will be taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements. All distributions from the Liquidating LLC will be considered a return of capital for tax purposes. Unitholders will receive a Schedule K-1 from the Liquidating LLC annually reflecting their allocable share of the Liquidating LLC’s income, loss, gains and deductions.

Inflation

Many of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, we are required to estimate all costs and income we expect to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash we expect to collect on the disposal of our assets and the estimated costs to dispose of our assets.

Revenue Recognition

Under liquidation accounting, we accrued all income that we expected to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent we had a reasonable basis for estimation. Revenues were accrued based on contractual amounts due under the leases in place over the estimated hold period of each asset. These amounts were classified in liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

We account for our investment in unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control the entity and are not considered to be the primary beneficiary. Under liquidation accounting, the investment in unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its net realizable value. We evaluate the net realizable value of our unconsolidated joint venture at each reporting period. Any changes in net realizable value will be reflected as a change in our net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of our remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza as of March 31, 2019 is based on a value of the property consistent with the value of the property at the time of the sale of our 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza in October 2017.
