Note 1 Organization
New York REIT,
Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on October 6, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (REIT) beginning with its taxable year ended
December 31, 2010. On April 15, 2014, the Company listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol NYRT.
Substantially all of the Companys business is conducted through its operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the OP). The Companys only significant asset is the general partnership interests it owns in the OP and assets held by the Company for the use and benefit of the OP.
On August 22, 2016, the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) approved a plan of liquidation to sell in an orderly
manner all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its OP and to liquidate and dissolve the Company and the OP (the Liquidation Plan), subject to stockholder approval. The Liquidation Plan was approved at a special meeting
of stockholders on January 3, 2017.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company owned two investments, the Viceroy Hotel and the
Companys equity interest in WWP Holdings, LLC (Worldwide Plaza). The Companys share of Worldwide Plaza has an aggregate of 1.1 million rentable square feet, with an average occupancy of 98.2%. At June 30, 2018 office, hotel and
retail space represent 78%, 17% and 5%, respectively, of rentable square feet including Worldwide Plaza. The Viceroy Hotel is currently under contract for sale which, if consummated, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018 or shortly
thereafter.
The Company has no employees. Prior to March 8, 2017, the Company retained (i) New York Recovery Advisors, LLC (the
Former Advisor) to manage its affairs on a
day-to-day
basis and (ii) New York Recovery Properties, LLC (the ARG Property Manager) to serve
as the Companys property manager, unless services were performed by a third party for specific properties. The Former Advisor and ARG Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR
Capital, LLC, AR Global), (the Sponsor).
On March 8, 2017, the Company transferred all advisory duties from
the Former Advisor to Winthrop REIT Advisors, LLC (the Winthrop Advisor) and property management services with respect to properties managed by ARG Property Manager were transferred to Winthrop Management, L.P. (the Winthrop
Property Manager).
In March 2018 the Company effected a
1-for-10
reverse stock split (the Reverse Split) of its common stock (Common Shares) 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 the elimination of fractional shares. All references to Common Shares outstanding and per Common Share amounts have been
restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Split for all periods presented.
Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split
have been redeemed for cash in lieu of shares.
Note 2 Liquidation Plan
The Liquidation Plan, as amended by the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of the Liquidation Plan, provides for an orderly sale
of the Companys assets, payment of the Companys liabilities and other obligations and the winding down of operations and final dissolution of the Company. The Company is no longer permitted to make any new investments other than to make
protective acquisitions or advances with respect to its existing assets. The Company is permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and fund required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at its real estate properties, including
real estate properties owned by joint ventures in which the Company owns an interest.

The Liquidation Plan enables the Company to sell any and all of its assets without further
approval of the stockholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the stockholders as determined by the Board. Pursuant to applicable REIT rules, the Company must complete the disposition of its assets by January 3, 2019, two
years after the date the Liquidation Plan was approved by the stockholders, in order to deduct liquidating distributions as dividends. To the extent that all of the Companys assets are not sold by such date, the Company intends to satisfy the
requirement by converting the Company to a limited liability company, which will require stockholder approval. The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-4
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to solicitation of stockholder approval. The Registration Statement became effective on August 6, 2018 and the Company commenced solicitation. A special meeting of stockholders will be held on Friday, September 7,
2018 at 11:00 AM, local time, at the offices of Proskauer Rose LLP, 11 Times Square, New York, New York, to conduct the vote. If the conversion is not approved by the stockholders, the Company intends to satisfy the requirement by transferring the
remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust.
The dissolution process and the amount and timing of distributions to
stockholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to stockholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed
the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.
The Company expects to continue to qualify as a REIT
throughout the liquidation until such time as the Company is converted into a limited liability company, which will require stockholder approval, or any remaining assets are transferred into a liquidating trust. The Board shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to continue to cause the Company to maintain its REIT status, provided however, the Board may elect to terminate the Companys status as a REIT if it determines that such termination would be in the best interest of the
stockholders.
Although the Board does not intend to do so, the Board may terminate the Liquidation Plan without stockholder approval only
(i) if the Board approves the Company to enter into an agreement involving the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or common stock by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale or other
transaction involving the Company or (ii) if the Board determines, in exercise of its duties under Maryland law, after consultation with the Winthrop Advisor, if applicable, or other third party experts familiar with the market for Manhattan
office properties, that an adverse change in the market for Manhattan office properties has occurred and reasonably would expect it to adversely affect continuing with the Liquidation Plan. Notwithstanding approval of the Liquidation Plan by the
stockholders, the Board may amend the Liquidation Plan without further action by the stockholders to the extent permitted under the current law.
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 Companys assets were adjusted to their liquidation value,
which represents the estimated amount of cash that the Company will collect on disposal of assets as it carries out its liquidation activities under the Liquidation Plan. The current estimate of net assets in liquidation has been calculated based on
undiscounted cash flow projections that all the properties will be sold by September 30, 2018 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 sales 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 future asset sales.

The liquidation value of the Companys investments in real estate is based on expected
sales proceeds presented on an undiscounted basis. Estimated costs to dispose of assets have been presented separately from the related assets. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the timing and other assumptions
related to the liquidation process.
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 budgeted property expenses
and corporate overhead, costs to dispose of the properties, mortgage interest expense, 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
in-place
leases plus managements estimates of revenue upon
re-lease
based on current market assumptions. These amounts are classified as a net liability
for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities on the Consolidated Statements 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
Companys accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of the Companys 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 liquidation
basis of accounting, the Company has accrued all revenue that it expects to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. Revenues are accrued based on contractual amounts due under the leases in place
over the estimated hold period of each asset. These amounts are classified within liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.
In accordance with liquidation accounting, as of January 1, 2017, tenant and other receivables were adjusted to their net realizable
values. Management continually reviews tenant and other receivables to determine collectability. Any changes in the collectability of the receivables is reflected in the net realizable value of the receivable.
The Company owns certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of
the tenants sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. Contingent rental income is not contemplated under liquidation accounting unless there is a reasonable basis
to estimate future receipts.
Investments in Real Estate
As of January 1, 2017, the investments in real estate were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value upon sale, or liquidation
value, to reflect the change to the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation value represents the estimated amount of cash the Company expects to collect on the disposal of its assets as it carries out the liquidation

(unaudited)
activities of its Liquidation Plan. The liquidation value of the Companys investments in real estate are presented on an undiscounted basis. Estimated revenue during the period following
the commencement of liquidation and prior to the expected sale date and costs to dispose of these assets are presented separately from the related assets. Subsequent to January 1, 2017, all changes in the estimated liquidation value of the
investments in real estate are reflected as a change in the Companys net assets in liquidation presented on an undiscounted basis.
The liquidation value of investments in real estate is based on a number of factors including discounted cash flow and direct capitalization
analyses, detailed analysis of current market comparables and broker opinions of value, and binding purchase offers to the extent available.
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. Under liquidation accounting, the investment in unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its net realizable value. 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 Companys net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of the
Companys remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza as of June 30, 2018 is based on the value of the property as a result of the Companys recent sale of its 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza (See Note 7).
Amortization
Under liquidation
accounting, intangible assets and liabilities are included in the liquidation value of investments in real estate and are no longer amortized.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash
primarily consists of the $90.7 million capital improvement reserve for Worldwide Plaza with the balance representing maintenance, real estate tax, structural and debt service reserves.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
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 executing and renewing leases, estimates of tenant improvement costs, the timing of property sales, direct costs incurred to complete the sales, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities 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.

Note 5 Net Assets in Liquidation
Net assets in liquidation decreased by $81.3 million and $411.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,
respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, there was a liquidating distribution to common stockholders of $81.4 million and a $5.0 million decrease in the estimated liquidation value of the Viceroy Hotel property based
on the contract for sale. The decrease in net assets during the three months ended June 30, 2018 was offset by a $5.1 million increase in the estimated liquidation value of the Companys investment in Worldwide Plaza primarily related
to the extended estimated hold period.
The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily due to liquidating
distributions to common stockholders totaling $417.3 million, a $9.0 million decrease in the estimated liquidation value of the Viceroy Hotel property based on the contract for sale, which was directly offset by a release of liability of
$4.2 million associated with the termination of the Viceroy Hotel management agreement and a $1.6 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated receipts related to the extended estimated hold period. The decrease in net assets was
offset by a net increase of $11.9 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Companys investment in Worldwide Plaza primarily related to the extended estimated hold period.
Net assets in liquidation decreased by $5.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. With the exception of the
$0.1 million decrease due to remeasurement of estimated receipts which occurred in the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, the balance of these changes were made during the three months ended June 30, 2017. The primary reasons for the
decrease in net assets was due to (i) a $2.5 million decrease in the liquidation value of investments in real estate as a result of the contract for sale of the 50 Varick Street office property, (ii) an increase of $1.7 million
of projected tenant and capital improvement costs primarily at the 1440 Broadway and 256 West 38
th
Street properties, (iii) an increase of $1.8 million in estimated corporate
expenditures and (iv) other cumulative adjustments across the portfolio which net to a $1.0 million decrease in net operating cash flow. The increase in projected corporate expenditures was primarily the result of a $1.2 million
increase in the estimated asset management fee payable to the Winthrop Advisor as a result of the timing of the acquisition of the additional interest in Worldwide Plaza and a change in the anticipated holding periods of certain assets, and a
$0.4 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in the LIBOR rate.
These items were partially offset by a
$1.1 million increase in estimated cash flows resulting from extended holding periods of certain assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)
The net assets in liquidation at June 30, 2018, presented on an undiscounted basis
include the Companys proportionate share in Worldwide Plazas net assets which include a property value at $1.725 billion based on the Companys recent sale of its 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza discussed in Note 7. Future
increases in the value of Worldwide Plaza, if any, from the agreed additional capital investment will be reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets when such capital investments are made and such increases in fair value can be observed.
There were 16,791,769 Common Shares outstanding at June 30, 2018. The net assets in liquidation as of June 30, 2018, if sold at
their net asset value, would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $25.09 per Common Share. The net assets in liquidation as of June 30, 2018 of $421.3 million, if sold at their net asset value, plus the cumulative
liquidating distribution to common stockholders of $932.8 million ($55.55 per Common Share) prior to June 30, 2018 would result in cumulative liquidating distributions to common stockholders of $80.64 per Common Share. There is inherent
uncertainty with these projections, and they could change materially based on the timing of the sales, the performance of the underlying assets and any changes in the underlying assumptions of the projected cash flows.

Note 7 Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The Company initially owned a 48.9% equity interest in Worldwide Plaza. On June 1, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 49.9% equity
interest in Worldwide Plaza on exercise of the Companys option (the WWP Option) to purchase additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza pursuant to the Companys 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 the then outstanding debt balance of $875.0 million on the property. The Companys 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 Company 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 Company 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 reserved $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 VIEs 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 amounts reflected in the following tables are based on the financial information of Worldwide Plaza and are not presented on a liquidation
basis of accounting. Under liquidation accounting, equity investments are carried at net realizable value.

On August 1, 2017, the Companys mortgage loan collateralized by the 1100 Kings Highway property was modified to extend the maturity
date to April 1, 2018 and to allow for partial release of the collateral. In April 2018, the loan maturity date was extended to May 29, 2018. The loan was satisfied in full on May 1, 2018.
On December 20, 2016, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the OP, entered into a mortgage loan (the Mortgage
Loan) in the aggregate amount of $500.0 million and a mezzanine loan in the aggregate amount of $260.0 million (the Mezzanine Loan and, together with the Mortgage Loan, the POL Loans). The POL Loans were
initially secured directly, in the case of the Mortgage Loan, and indirectly in the case of the Mezzanine Loan, by properties located in New York, New York at
245-249
West 17th Street, 333 West 34th Street,

2018 have been released and are no longer collateral for the POL Loans.
Note 9 Interest Rate Derivatives and Hedging Activities Risk
Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company periodically uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, collars, options, floors and other
interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Companys operating and
financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes or purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries
certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements will not perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties that the
Company believes to have high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and the Former Advisor and its affiliates may also have had other financial relationships.
As these instruments were not converted to cash or other considerations, derivative financial instruments were valued at $0 as of
January 1, 2017 in accordance with liquidation accounting. The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Note 10 Common Stock
In March 2018, the Company 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.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company had 16.8 million shares of common stock outstanding, including unvested
shares of restricted common stock (restricted shares). On January 3, 2017, the Company issued 84,166 shares of its common stock upon redemption of 841,660 OP units held by certain individuals who were members of the Former Advisor
or its affiliates. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no OP units outstanding, other than OP units held by the Company.
The Company expects to make periodic liquidating distributions out of net proceeds of asset sales, subject to satisfying its liabilities and
obligations, in lieu of regular monthly dividends. During 2017, the Company paid aggregate liquidating distributions equal to $30.70 per Common Share. On January 26, 2018, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $20.00 per Common
Share. On May 18, 2018, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $4.85 per Common Share. There can be no assurance as to the actual amount or timing of future liquidating distributions stockholders will receive.

Eastdil/Wells Fargo Arbitration
On June 5, 2018, the Company and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and its affiliate, Eastdil Secured LLC (collectively, Eastdil/Wells
Fargo), entered into an agreement to settle to the satisfaction of the parties the claim by Eastdil/Wells Fargo relating to the sale of the Companys 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza. The settlement payment was not material to the
Companys financial statements and is fully reflected at June 30, 2018.
Harris Derivative Suit
In October 2016, Berney Harris filed a derivative complaint (the Harris Complaint) on behalf of the Company against certain current
and former members of the Companys board of directors (the director defendants), the Former Advisor, and certain affiliates of the Former Advisor (together with the Former Advisor, the Former Advisor Defendants). The
Harris Complaint alleged, among other things, that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by putting the interests of the Former Advisor Defendants before those of the public stockholders, which breach was aided and abetted by the
Former Advisor Defendants. The Harris Complaint also asserted claims of corporate waste against the director defendants and unjust enrichment against certain of the Former Advisor Defendants. On April 6, 2017, the Companys Board of
Directors (the Board) established an Evaluation Committee (EC) consisting of three disinterested directors to review, evaluate, and make a determination with respect to what actions, if any, should be taken regarding the
allegations made in the Harris Complaint and a demand letter (the Demand Letter) sent by a different stockholder of the Company dated March 27, 2017 that alleged claims that were similar to those described in the Harris Complaint.
On August 10, 2017, the Court issued an Order granting the Companys and the director defendants motion to dismiss and also granted the motion to dismiss of one of the Former Advisor Defendants. On December 6, 2017, the Court
dismissed the Harris Complaint in its entirety without prejudice.
The EC retained independent legal counsel to assist and advise it in
carrying out its duties, reviewed and considered the evidence and various factors relating to the Companys best interests, and has completed its investigation. In accordance with its findings and conclusions, after careful deliberation,
the EC determined that the claims asserted in the Harris Complaint and the Demand Letter lack merit and that pursuit of those claims would not be in the best interest of the Company or its shareholders. In summary, the EC uncovered no evidence of
any breaches of fiduciary duty or wrongdoing that would give rise to claims belonging to the Company, nor did the EC find any merit to claims of corporate waste against the director defendants. The EC independently reviewed the Boards
challenged actions and, based on its independent investigation, determined that the Boards decisions were sound and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The EC further found no evidence suggesting the Boards
decisions were tainted by any preference for the interests of the Former Advisor or its affiliates over those of the Company and its stockholders.
Environmental Matters
In connection with
the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company maintains environmental insurance for its properties that provides coverage for potential
environmental liabilities, subject to the policys 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.

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 served as the Companys exclusive advisor with respect to all matters primarily related to any plan of liquidation and dissolution of the Company and as a consultant to the Board on certain other matters during the period from
January 3, 2017 through March 7, 2017 and is serving as exclusive advisor to the Company from and after March 8, 2017.
On
each of January 3, 2017 and February 1, 2017, the Company paid Winthrop Advisor a fee of $500,000 in cash as compensation for advisory services and consulting services rendered prior to March 1, 2017.
Beginning on March 1, 2017, the Company pays 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.
The
Company and the Winthrop Advisor entered into a second amendment to the Advisory Agreement on June 8, 2018 and a third amendment to the Advisory Agreement on August 7, 2018. Following the amendments, the revised terms on the Advisory Agreement are
as follows:
(i) the term of the Advisory Agreement will end on the earlier of the effective date of the conversion of the Company to a
liquidating entity or the transfer of the Companys assets to a liquidating trust (the Liquidation Date), or December 6, 2018, six months from the date of the second amendment. The term of the Advisory Agreement will
automatically renew for a
one-month
period on the expiration of the term or any renewal term, unless terminated by a majority of the Companys independent directors 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 dissolution of the Company in accordance with its plan of liquidation or, if the assets of the Company are transferred
to a liquidating trust (or the Company is converted into a liquidating entity), the final disposition of the assets transferred to the liquidating trust or held by the liquidating entity;

Companys chief executive officer resigns or is otherwise unavailable to serve as the Companys chief executive officer for any reason and the Winthrop Advisor has not proposed a new chief executive officer acceptable to a majority of the
Companys independent directors. On July 12, 2018, the Companys 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 Companys right to terminate the Advisory Agreement;
(iii) 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 will, for each month from and after April 2018, be deemed to equal its then-current book value;
(iv) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018 and ending on the Liquidation Date, the Company will pay Winthrop Advisor a
supplemental fee of $25,000 per quarter (prorated for any partial quarter) in addition to the base management fee.
(v) 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
successor entity to the Company are required to certify the financial and other information contained in the successor entitys quarterly and annual reports pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; and

(vi) from and after March 1, 2018, the Company agreed to reimburse the Winthrop Advisor
for the compensation of Wendy Silverstein as the Companys 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
Silversteins resignation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reimbursed Winthrop Advisor $467,000 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 June 30, 2018, the Company has accrued asset management fees and compensation reimbursements totaling $1.8 million payable to Winthrop Advisor representing managements 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
during the term of the Current Advisory Agreement and (ii) any other amounts paid to the Companys stockholders on account of their shares of common stock 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 $11.00 per share (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.
Effective March 2017, Winthrop Property Manager began providing property management services to those properties for which the ARG
Property Manager had been providing property management services. The Company paid to Winthrop Property Manager 1.75% of gross revenues, inclusive of all third party property management fees, for property management services provided to the Company

Note 14 Share-Based Compensation
Stock Option Plan
The Company has a stock
option plan (the Plan) which authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options to the Companys independent directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, subject to the absolute discretion of the board of
directors and the applicable limitations of the Plan. The exercise price for all stock options granted under the Plan will be equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Upon a change in control, unvested options will become
fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to the options will be deemed to be fully achieved. A total of 50,000 shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of June 30, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, no stock options were issued under the Plan.
Restricted Share Plan
The Companys employee and director incentive restricted share plan (RSP) provides the Company with the ability to grant
awards of restricted shares to the Companys directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Former Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the
Former Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Former Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company.
Under the RSP, the annual amount granted to the independent directors is determined by the board of directors. The maximum number of shares of
stock granted under the RSP cannot exceed 10% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Restricted shares issued to independent directors generally vest over a three-year period in increments of
33.3% per annum. Generally, such awards provide 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 may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares receive 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 have lapsed. Any dividends payable in shares of common stock are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.
The following table displays restricted share award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as adjusted for the reverse stock
split (see Note 1):

2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
On April 15, 2014 (the Effective Date), the Company entered into a multi-year outperformance agreement (the OPP)
with the OP and the Former Advisor. Under the OPP, the Former Advisor was issued 8,880,579 LTIP Units in the OP with a maximum award value on the issuance date equal to 5.0% of the Companys market capitalization (the OPP Cap). The
LTIP Units are structured as profits interests in the Operating Partnership.
Prior to the OPP Side Letter dated December 19, 2016
(OPP Side Letter), subject to the Former Advisors continued service through each vesting date, one third of any earned LTIP Units would vest on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date.

(unaudited)
On April 15, 2015 and 2016, in connection with the end of the
One-Year
Period and
Two-Year
Period, 367,059 and 805,679 LTIP Units, respectively, were earned by the Former Advisor under the terms of the OPP. Pursuant to the OPP Side
Letter, these LTIP Units immediately vested upon approval by the Compensation Committee and converted into unrestricted shares of the Companys common stock.
Based on calculations for the Three-Year Period, the Former Advisor earned 43,685 LTIP Units under the terms of the OPP on April 15,
2017. Pursuant to the terms of the OPP Side Letter, these LTIP units were immediately vested on April 15, 2017, were converted into unrestricted shares of the Companys common stock on May 9, 2017, and were issued to the Former
Advisor on May 9, 2017. Following the issuance of the shares of common stock on May 9, 2017, the remaining 7,664,156 LTIP Units issued to the Former Advisor were forfeited.
Under the OPP, the Former Advisors eligibility to earn a number of LTIP units with a value equal to a portion of the OPP Cap upon the
first, second and third anniversaries of the Effective Date was based on the Companys achievement of certain levels of total return to the Companys stockholders (Total Return), including both share price appreciation and
common stock dividends, as measured against a peer group of companies, for the three-year performance period commencing on the Effective Date (the Three-Year Period); each
12-month
period during
the Three-Year Period (the
One-Year
Period); and the initial
24-month
period of the Three-Year Period (the
Two-Year
Period).
Note 15 Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 2 and Note 6.
