Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings (Continued)
|
• |
On March 20, 2020, two sets of defendants – Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan; and Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and S. Lee Terry, Jr. – filed special motions to strike the portions of
the complaint directed at them under a California statute (Civil Procedure Code section 425.16) that permits defendants to bring early challenges to causes of action against them that allegedly arise from protected litigation activity if
those causes of action lack minimal merit. The defendants that filed these special motions to strike asserted that the claims against them arise from communicative conduct in the course of quasi-judicial proceedings, such as regulatory
inquiries, and that the Trust cannot establish a likelihood of prevailing on its claims against them. The Trust opposed these motions, and the matters were heard on July 28, 2020, and taken under submission on that date. On August 14,
2020, the Court entered orders: (i) granting the motion to strike filed by Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan, and (ii) granting in part and denying in part the motion to strike filed by Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and S. Lee Terry,
Jr. In September 2020, the Trust filed notices of appeal of the foregoing orders, and Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and S. Lee Terry, Jr. subsequently filed a cross-appeal. On January 27, 2021, the Court entered an order granting, in
part, a motion for attorneys’ fees filed by Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan, pursuant to which the movants were awarded $282,500.00 in fees and $5,600.00 in costs, plus (potentially) additional fees in connection with the prosecution
of the appeal. On March 1, 2021, the Trustee appealed the order granting fees and costs. On January 19, 2024, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s orders granting Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan’s motion to
strike, as well as the order awarding them attorney’s fees. The Trust has elected not to seek further appellate review of this ruling. The parties have reached a resolution in principle under which the Trust will pay attorneys’ fees and
costs owed to Sidley Austin LLP in the amount of $650,000, which amount has not yet been paid.
|
• |
On April 13, 2020, four sets of defendants – Rome McGuigan, P.C. and Brian Courtney; Bailey Cavalieri LLC and Thomas Geyer; Robinson & Cole LLP and Shant Chalian; and Finn Dixon &
Herling LLP and Reed Balmer – filed motions to quash the service of summonses. The defendants that filed these motions asserted that they are not subject to suit in California because they do not have sufficient contacts with California
to justify a California court’s exercise of jurisdiction over them. The Trust opposed these motions, and the matters were heard in part on July 15, 2020 and in part on July 20, 2020, and (with exception of the motion filed by Finn Dixon
& Herling LLP and Reed Balmer) were taken under submission on July 20, 2020. The motion filed by Finn Dixon & Herling LLP, and Reed Balmer was taken off calendar prior to July 20, 2020, and the parties thereafter reached a
confidential settlement. On July 21, 2020, the Court entered orders granting the motions to quash filed by Rome McGuigan, P.C. and Brian Courtney; Bailey Cavalieri LLC and Thomas Geyer; and Robinson & Cole LLP and Shant Chalian. On
September 10, 2020, the Trust filed a notice of appeal of the foregoing orders.
|
• | On June 14, 2021, the Trustee filed a combined opening brief for all of the appeals other than his appeal of the order granting fees and costs to Sidley Austin LLP. Between September 22 and 29, 2021, the respondents filed their opening briefs. On March 17, 2022, the Trustee filed a combined reply brief for all of the appeals other than his appeal of the order granting fees and costs to Sidley Austin LLP. On June 30, 2022, Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP filed its reply brief in support of its cross-appeal of the order denying a portion of its special motion to strike. As described below, the Trust has reached settlements with these defendants and these appeals have been dismissed. |
• |
On June 16, 2020, the Trust reached a confidential settlement with Balcomb & Green, P.C. and Lawrence R. Green. On July 6, 2020, these defendants filed a motion seeking the Court’s
determination that the settlement was made in good faith under a California statute (Civil Procedure Code section 877.6) that permits settling defendants to seek a good faith settlement finding in order to bar any other defendant from
seeking contribution or indemnity. The motion was unopposed, and the Court entered an order granting it on August 12, 2020.
|
• |
On September 11, 2020, the Trust reached a settlement with Finn Dixon & Herling LLP and Reed Balmer that resolved all litigation between them.
|
• |
On January 21, 2021, the Trust reached a confidential settlement with Robinson & Cole LLP and Shant Chalian. As part of that settlement, the appeal of the
jurisdictional ruling as to those parties has been dismissed.
|
• |
The Trust reached a settlement with Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and Lee Terry on July 29, 2023 for $25.5 million, which amount resulted in proceeds paid to the Trust on October 2, 2023 of
approximately $17.0 million, net of attorneys’ fees. The settlement resolved all litigation between the Trust and Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and Mr. Terry.
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings (Continued)

In March 2023, the Trust dismissed its claims against Jon H. Freis.
|
• |
In April 2023, the Trust reached a settlement with Bailey Cavalieri LLC and Thomas Geyer that resolved all litigation between them.
|
• |
In June 2023, the Trust reached a settlement with Halloran & Sage and Richard Roberts for the remaining amount of the law firm’s applicable liability insurance policies, which resulted
in proceeds paid to the Trust on August 11, 2023 of approximately $13.2 million, net of attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. This settlement resolved all litigation between the Trust and Halloran & Sage and Richard Roberts.
|
• |
On November 4, 2023, the Trust and law firm Rome McGuigan, P.C. agreed to settle the Trust’s pending litigation against that firm and related defendants for $5.0 million. On January 23,
2024, the court granted Rome McGuigan, P.C.’s motion to determine that the settlement with the Trust was reached in good faith. The Trust received the settlement payment on February 12, 2024. This settlement resolved all litigation
between the Trust and Rome McGuigan, P.C.
|
• |
The remaining defendants in this action are Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP and its partner Ted Handel. A status conference is scheduled for June 11, 2024.
|
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings (Continued)
|
• |
Preferential transfers and/or fraudulent transfers (Noteholders and Unitholders). Certain
of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and seek to avoid or recover payments made by the Debtors: (1) during the 90 days prior to the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing, including payments to
miscellaneous vendors and former Noteholders and Unitholders; and/or (2) during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for interest paid to former Noteholders and Unitholders.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers (Shapiro personal expenses). Two remaining actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the
Bankruptcy Code and seek to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for the personal expenses of Robert and Jeri Shapiro,
including those identified in a forensic report prepared in connection with an SEC enforcement action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers and fraud (against former agents). Certain of the actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the
Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law governing fraudulent transfers, seek to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for
commissions to former agents, as well as for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, and the unlicensed sale of securities asserted by the Trust based on claims contributed to the Trust by defrauded investors. These actions were filed by the
Trust in the Bankruptcy Court between November 15, 2019 and December 4, 2019. Actions of this type are also being pursued by the SEC, and it is the Trust’s understanding that any recoveries obtained by the SEC will be transmitted to the
Trust pursuant to a Fair Fund established by the SEC.
|
• |
Fraudulent transfers (Kenneth Halbert). The Trust has pursued fraudulent transfer claims against Kenneth Halbert to avoid
and recover prepetition payments of principal and interest to Mr. Halbert. The Trust filed its initial complaint on December 1, 2019 and the operative first amended complaint on December 7, 2021. Fact discovery closed on April 24,
2023. Thereafter, on June 27, 2023, the Trust agreed to settle its pending fraudulent transfer claims against Kenneth Halbert. The terms of the settlement are contained in a settlement agreement between the Trust and Mr. Halbert.
Under the agreement, the Trust agreed to dismiss its claims against Mr. Halbert for the sum of $4 million, payable in cash to the Trust. The Trust received the settlement payment on August 15, 2023 and dismissed the action against Mr.
Halbert on August 22, 2023.
|
• |
Recovery of United States Trustee Fees. On June 6, 2022, the United States Supreme Court determined in
Siegel v. Fitzgerald, 596 U.S. 464 (2022), that a statutory amendment that imposed a temporary
increase in the United States Trustee fees payable in bankruptcy cases in certain judicial districts (but not in other districts) was unconstitutional as a violation of the uniformity requirement of the Bankruptcy Clause of the United
States Constitution. Following Siegel, certain representatives of bankruptcy estates in the
affected districts filed lawsuits seeking refunds of the incremental amounts paid by those estates for United States Trustee fees in excess of the amounts that would have been paid absent the unconstitutional statutory amendment. On
December 29, 2022, the Trust file such a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court against Andrew R. Vara, in his capacity as the United States Trustee for Region 3, Tara Twomey, in her capacity as Director of the Executive Office for United
States Trustees, and the United States Trustee Program (Adv. No. 22-50516). The Complaint seeks a refund in the amount of $1,920,219 in connection with the overpayment of United States Trustee fees during the Bankruptcy Cases. On
August 3, 2023, the Trust filed a motion for summary judgment in this action. On September 29, 2023, the United
States Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of certiorari in United States Trustee v. John Q. Hammons Fall 2006 LLC, No. 22-1238 (U.S.) on the issue of the appropriate remedy for the Constitutional violation identified in Siegel, which issue affects the numerous cases throughout the affected districts in which unconstitutional United States Trustee fees were assessed and paid. Prior to the deadline for the United
States Trustee defendants in the Trust’s refund lawsuit to respond to the Trust’s motion for summary judgment, the parties entered into a stipulation staying the Trust’s action until the Supreme Court renders a decision in the Hammons case. Oral argument before the Supreme Court in the Hammons case took place on January 9, 2024. As of the date hereof, a decision by the Supreme Court has not been issued and, as such, the
Trust’s action remains stayed. As a result, at this time, the Trust is unable to determine if any refund will be obtained or the timing of any such refund.

Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings (Continued)
|
• |
Actions regarding the Shapiro’s personal assets. On December 4, 2019, the Trust filed an action in the Bankruptcy Court,
Adv. Pro. No. 10-51076 (BLS), Woodbridge Liquidation Trust v. Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro, 3X a Charm, LLC, Carbondale Basalt Owners, LLC, Davana Sherman Oaks Owners, LLC, In Trend Staging, LLC,
Midland Loop Enterprises, LLC, Schwartz Media Buying Company, LLC and Stover Real Estate Partners LLC. In this action, the Trust asserts claims under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law for avoidance of
preferential and fraudulent transfers together with claims for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, the unlicensed sale of securities, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The Trust seeks to recover damages and assets held in
the names of Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro and their family members and entities owned or controlled by them, which assets the Trust contends are beneficially owned by the Debtors or for which the Debtors are entitled to recover based on
the Shapiros’ defalcations, including over $20 million in avoidable transfers. On February 4, 2022, the Trust entered into a Settlement Agreement with Ms. Jeri Shapiro resolving the Trust’s adversary proceeding against Ms. Shapiro. In
connection with the Settlement Agreement, Ms. Shapiro responded to interrogatories from the Trust and submitted a declaration under penalty of perjury detailing her lack of assets. Upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, Ms.
Shapiro executed and delivered a Stipulated Judgment for approximately $20.6 million that will be held by the Trust in escrow for three years that can be entered without notice if the Trust learns Ms. Shapiro’s representations in her
declaration were false or materially inaccurate. Additionally, Ms. Shapiro authorized the Trust to expunge the filed claims of certain co-defendants for entities she was listed as an officer and turned over payments to the Trust that
were received by certain co-defendants in the adversary proceeding. A stipulation of dismissal (as to Ms. Shapiro only) was entered on April 1, 2022.
|
• |
Criminal proceeding and forfeiture. In connection with the United States’ criminal case against Robert Shapiro (Case No.
No. 19-20178-CR-ALTONAGA (S.D. Fla. 2019)), Shapiro agreed to the forfeiture of certain assets. The Trust filed a petition in the Florida court to claim the Forfeited Assets as property of the Debtors’ estates, and therefore as
property that had vested in the Trust pursuant to the Plan. The Trust has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Justice to resolve its claim. The agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on September 17,
2020 and was approved by the United States District Court on October 1, 2020. Among other things, the agreement provides for the release of specified Forfeited Assets by the United States to the Trust, and for the Trust to liquidate
those assets and distribute the net sale proceeds to Qualifying Victims, which include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries—specifically, all former holders of Class 3 and 5 claims under the Plan and their permitted assigns—but do
not include former holders of Class 4 claims under the Plan. The Trust has taken possession of the Forfeited Assets and has sold the wine, gold, clothing, handbags, shoes and an automobile. A substantial majority of the jewelry and art
have also been sold.

Formation
Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (the “Trust”) was established (i) for the purpose of collecting, administering, distributing and liquidating the Trust assets for the benefit of the Trust beneficiaries in
accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement of the Trust and the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its Affiliated Debtors dated August 22, 2018 (as amended, modified, supplemented or
restated from time to time, the “Plan”); (ii) to resolve disputed claims asserted against the Debtors; (iii) to litigate and/or settle causes of action (“Causes of Action”); and (iv) to pay certain allowed claims and statutory fees, as required
by the Plan. Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its Affiliated Debtors are individually referred to herein as a Debtor and collectively as the Debtors. The Trust was formed on February 15, 2019 (the “Plan Effective Date”) as a statutory trust
under Delaware law.
On the Plan Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, (a) the following assets automatically vested in the Trust: (i) an aggregate $5,000,000 in cash from the Debtors for the purpose of funding the Trust’s initial expenses of operation; (ii) certain claims and Causes of Action; (iii)
all of the outstanding equity interests of the Wind-Down Entity (as defined below); and (iv) certain other non-real estate related assets, (b) the equity interests of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC
(together, the “Remaining Debtors”) were cancelled and new equity interests representing all of the newly issued and outstanding equity interests in the Remaining Debtors were issued to the Trust, (c) all of the other Debtors other than the
Remaining Debtors were dissolved and (d) the real estate-related assets of the Debtors were automatically vested in the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Woodbridge Wind-Down Entity LLC (the “Wind-Down Entity”) or one of the Wind-Down Entity’s 43 wholly-owned single member LLCs (the “Wind-Down Subsidiaries”) formed to own the respective real estate assets. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity and the
Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”
As further discussed in Note 8, the Trust
has two classes of liquidation trust interests, Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (“Class A Interests”) and Class B Liquidation Trust
Interests (“Class B Interests”). The holders of Class A Interests and Class B Interests are collectively referred to as “All Interestholders.”
On December 24, 2019, the
Trust’s Registration Statement on Form 10 became effective under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The trading symbol for the Trust’s Class A Interests is WBQNL. Bid and asked prices for the Trust’s Class A Interests are
quoted on the OTC Link ATS, the SEC-registered alternative trading system. The Class A Interests are eligible for the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (“DRS”) services. The Class B Interests
are not registered with the SEC.
The Trust will be
terminated upon the first to occur of (i) the making of all distributions required to be made and a determination by the Liquidation Trustee that the pursuit of additional causes of action held by the Trust is not justified or (ii) March 31,
2026, based on an extension of the term which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on December 20, 2023 (see below). Notwithstanding the preceding, the termination date of the Trust may be further extended consistent with the terms of the
Liquidation Trust Agreement and the Plan.
During the year ended
June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that its liquidation activities would not be completed by February 15, 2024, which was the original outside termination date of the Trust, for a number of reasons. First, there had been significant delays in
certain legal proceedings where the Company is the plaintiff. Second, a construction defect claim was asserted against one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries by the buyer of one of the subsidiary’s single-family homes. The subsidiary has tendered the
claim to its insurance carriers; however, the carriers have not yet accepted the claim. At this time, the amount of the liability exposure has not been determined and the subsidiary’s exposure is unknown. The subsidiary is investigating the
claim, including the extent and causes of the alleged damage and the identification of other potentially responsible persons. Based on the foregoing, the Company currently projects a revised estimated completion date for the Company’s operations
of approximately March 31, 2026.
The
Company filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to extend the termination date of the Trust from February 15, 2024 through and including March 31, 2026. On December 20, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Company’s motion to extend the
termination date through and including March 31, 2026, as requested by the Trust.
Description of
Business
The Company is required to liquidate its assets and distribute available cash to the Trust
beneficiaries. The liquidation activities are carried out by the Trust, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024, the Company presently estimates that the liquidation activities will be completed by
approximately March 31, 2026.
The Trust is
prosecuting various Causes of Action acquired by the Trust pursuant to the Plan and is resolving claims asserted against the Debtors. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is the plaintiff in several pending lawsuits. During the three months
ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded settlement recoveries of approximately $3,328,000. During the three months ended March
31, 2023, no settlement recoveries were recorded. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded
settlement recoveries of approximately $37,838,000 and $231,000, respectively, from the settlement of Causes of Action (see Note 11 for additional information). The Company also recorded liabilities of 5% of the settlement recoveries as amounts payable to the Liquidation Trustee. The Company has accrued an estimate of the amount of legal costs to
be incurred to pursue the remaining Causes of Action, excluding contingent fees. As more fully discussed in Note 2, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any estimate of future net recoveries from litigation and
settlement, since the Company cannot reasonably estimate them.
The Wind-Down
Entities’ operations are almost complete. As of March 31, 2024, the Wind-Down Subsidiaries owned one performing secured loan and one single-family home subject to a life estate (see Note 4 for additional information). The Wind-Down Entities’ primary activities currently involve overseeing the resolution of a
construction defect claim and completing repairs of a previously sold home.
As more fully discussed in Note 2, the Company uses the Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The Trust currently operates as one reportable segment. Net assets in liquidation represent the remaining estimated aggregate value available to Trust beneficiaries upon liquidation, with no discount for the timing of
proceeds (undiscounted). Net liquidation proceeds, other recoveries and actual liquidation costs may differ materially from the estimated amounts due to the uncertainty in the timing and requirements of completing the liquidation activities.
The Trust’s expectations about the amount of any additional distributions, if any, and when they will be paid are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on certain estimates and assumptions, one or more of which
may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual amount of any additional distributions may differ materially, perhaps in adverse ways, from the Trust estimates. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the timing of any additional
distributions and any such distributions may not be made within the timing referenced, if any, in the consolidated financial statements. On August 3, 2023, at the recommendation of the Liquidation Trustee, the Trust suspended the making of
additional distributions pending the results of the Company’s investigation of a construction defect claim asserted against one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries by the buyer of one of the subsidiary’s single-family homes.
No assurance can
be given that total distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. These consolidated
financial statements have been presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial
Statements (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting”. The June 30, 2023 consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures or
notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities are revised in the period that available information supports a change in the carrying amount.
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, all assets are
recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of net cash that will be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). The measurement of real estate assets
was based on current contracts (if any), if contingencies have been removed, estimates and other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs.
Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with
implementing and completing the Plan, are measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. The Company has recorded estimated development costs, estimated reserves for contingent liabilities including potential
construction defect claims and the estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company. When estimating development costs, the Company considered estimates of costs to complete punch
list items and to address potential construction defect claims and other costs. Projected general and administrative cost estimates take into account operating costs through the completion of the liquidation of the Company, currently estimated
to be approximately March 31, 2026, and an accrual for the administration of potential construction defect claims.
These estimated amounts are presented in the accompanying
consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation. All changes in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s real estate or other assets and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the estimated net
realizable values, liquidation costs and the estimated date of the completion of the liquidation of the Company and records any significant changes. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be
adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is approved. The change in value may include the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.
Other Assets
The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action when an agreement is executed, final court
approval is received (if required), and collectability is reasonably assured. The amount recovered may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
An
allowance for uncollectible settlement installment receivables is recorded when there is doubt about the collectability of the receivable. The Company records escrow receivables at the amount that is expected to be received when the escrow
receivable is released. The Forfeited Assets (Note 6) received from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), other than cash, have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value.
The Company accrues
expected interest earnings when it can reasonably estimate the amount to be received. The Company uses a forward yield curve to estimate the interest rates to be earned and its expected future cash balances to estimate the dollar amount that will
earn interest through the expected Trust termination date of March 31, 2026.
In addition, the Company recognizes other amounts to be received based on contractual terms or when the amounts to be received are
certain.
Accrued Liquidation Costs
The Company accrues estimated liquidation costs to the
extent they are reasonably determinable. These costs consist of (a) estimated development costs including the costs to complete punch list items, bond refunds and estimated reserves for contingent liabilities including potential construction
defect claims and other costs and (b) estimated general and administrative costs including payroll, legal and other professional fees, trustee and board fees, rent and other office related expenses, and other general and administrative costs to
operate the Company and the administration of construction defect claims.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term investments that have a maturity date of 90 days or less at the time of investment to be a cash equivalent.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash that can only be used for certain specified purposes as described in Note 3.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, which are held as
deposits in several financial institutions. The deposit balances in any one financial institution may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company mitigates this risk by using accounts at multiple
financial institutions to reduce deposit balances at any one financial institution consistent with FDIC insurance limits.
Income Taxes
The Trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income tax on
any income earned or gain recognized by the Trust. The Trust’s beneficiaries will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each asset, including cash and each liability of the Trust. Each beneficiary will be required to report on his or her
federal and state income tax return his or her pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Trust. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal or state income taxes recorded in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
The Company regularly analyzes its various federal and state filing positions and only recognizes the income tax effect in the consolidated
financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. The Company believes that its income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities.
Therefore, no provision for uncertain income tax positions has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Net Assets in Liquidation - Restricted
for Qualifying Victims
The Company separately
presents the portion of net assets in liquidation that are restricted for Qualifying Victims (see Note 6) from the net assets in liquidation that are available to All Interestholders.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain
amounts related to its prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to its current period presentation.

Forfeited Assets - Restricted for Qualifying Victims |
The Trust entered into a resolution agreement with the DOJ which provided that the Trust would receive the assets
forfeited (“Forfeited Assets”) by Robert and Jeri Shapiro. The agreement provided for the release of specified Forfeited Assets by the DOJ to the Trust and for the Trust to liquidate those assets and distribute the net sale proceeds to Qualifying
Victims. Qualifying Victims include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries (specifically, all former holders of allowed Class 3 and 5 claims and their permitted assigns), but do not include former holders of Class 4 claims. Distributions to
Qualifying Victims are to be allocated pro-rata based on their net allowed claims without considering the (i) 5% enhancement for
contributing their causes of action and (ii) 72.5% Class 5 coefficient.
In March 2021, the Trust received certain Forfeited Assets from the DOJ, including cash, wine, jewelry, handbags, clothing, shoes, art, gold and
other assets. The Company recorded the total estimated net realizable value of the Forfeited Assets of approximately $3,459,000. During
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold the remaining handbags and some of the jewelry and art. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold the automobile, and some of the jewelry, handbags,
clothing, shoes and art.
On February 23, 2024, the Trust received approximately $560,000 in cash from the DOJ that was forfeited by a co-defendant of Robert Shapiro. These additional Forfeited Assets are also to be distributed to Qualifying Victims.
The Forfeited Assets included in the Company’s March 31, 2024 (unaudited) and June 30, 2023 consolidated financial statements are as follows ($

Distributions |
The Plan provides for a distribution waterfall that specifies the priority and manner of distribution of available cash to all Interestholders,
excluding distributions of the net sales proceeds from Forfeited Assets (see Note 6). Distributions are to be made (a) to the Class A Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class A Interest; thereafter (b) to the Class B Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class B Interest; thereafter (c) to each Liquidation Trust Interest (whether a Class A Interest or Class B Interest) until the aggregate of all distributions made pursuant to this
clause equals an amount equivalent to interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%, compounded annually, accrued on the aggregate
principal amount of all Net Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Net Unit Claims, all as defined in the Plan, treating each distribution pursuant to (a) and (b) above as reductions of such principal amount; and thereafter (d) to the
holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims, as defined in the Plan, until such claims are paid in full, including interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%
or such higher rate as may be agreed to, as provided for in the Plan, compounded annually, accrued on the principal amount of each Allowed Subordinated Claim, as defined.
On August 3, 2023, at the recommendation of the Liquidation
Trustee, the Trust suspended the making of additional distributions pending the results of the Company’s investigation of a construction defect claim against one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries by the buyer of one of the subsidiary’s
single-family homes. There were no distributions declared or paid during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.
There were no distributions declared or paid during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The following distribution was paid during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 relating to the tenth distribution ($ in
millions, except for $ per Class A Interest):
(a) The distribution was declared on June 15, 2022 and was paid on July 15, 2022. The deposit into the restricted cash account with
respect to the tenth distribution was made on July 26, 2022.
As claims are resolved, additional Class A Interests may be issued or cancelled. Therefore, the total amount of a distribution
declared may change. In addition, distributions may change if Interestholders that were previously deemed to have forfeited their rights to receive Class A Interest distributions subsequently respond and if overpaid distributions are
returned.
For every distribution, a deposit is made into a restricted cash account for
amounts (a) payable for Class A Interests that may be issued in the future upon the allowance of unresolved claims, (b) in respect of Class A Interests issued on account of recently allowed claims, (c) for holders of Class A Interests who
failed to cash distribution checks mailed in respect of prior distributions, (d) for distributions that were withheld due to pending avoidance actions and (e) for holders of Class A Interests for which the Trust is waiting for further
beneficiary information.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as (a) claims were
resolved, (b) claims were recently allowed, (c) addresses for holders of uncashed distribution checks were obtained, (d) pending avoidance actions were resolved and (e) further beneficiary information was received, distributions of
approximately $5,000 and $14,000,
respectively, were paid to holders of Class A Interests from the restricted cash account and distributions payable were reduced by the same amounts. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, distributions of approximately $20,000 and $718,000,
respectively, were paid to holders of Class A Interests from the restricted cash account and distributions payable were reduced by the same amounts.
During both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as a result of
claims being disallowed or Class A Interests being cancelled, no amounts were released from the restricted cash account and
therefore distributions payable were not reduced. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately $373,000 and
$2,650,000, respectively, were released from the restricted cash account and distributions payable were reduced by the same
amounts.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $20,000 was received from Interestholders that had been overpaid on prior distributions. During the three and nine months ended March 31,
2024, no Interestholders repaid amounts related to prior distributions.
As a result of distribution checks that had not been cashed within 180
days of their issuance, Interestholders were deemed to have forfeited their rights to reserved and future Class A Interest distributions. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, no Interestholders that had previously been deemed to have forfeited their rights to receive Class A Interest distributions had responded. During the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2023, some Interestholders that had previously been deemed to have forfeited their rights to receive Class A Interest distributions had responded and, therefore, approximately $14,000 and $26,000,
respectively, were added to the restricted cash account and distributions payable were increased by the same amounts.

Terry Goebel, a former member of the Trust Supervisory Board, is president and a principal owner of G3 Group LA (“G3”), a construction firm
specializing in the development of high-end luxury residences. G3 is owned by Terry Goebel and his son Kelly Goebel. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company completed its contract with G3 for the development of one single-family home in Los Angeles, California. As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, there were no
remaining amounts payable under this contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no payments were paid by the Company to G3 related to this contract.
The Liquidation Trustee of the Trust is entitled to receive 5% of the total gross amount recovered by the Trust from the pursuit of the Causes of Action.

the Trust on an as-needed basis, of e-discovery and related litigation support services in connection with the Trust’s prosecution of the Causes of Action. Under the arrangement, the Trust is charged for the services at scheduled rates per task
which, depending on the specific task, include flat rates, rates based on volume of data processed, rates based on the number of data users, the hourly rates of Akerman LLP personnel, or other rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2024

The executive officers of the Wind-Down Entity were entitled to a bonus based on the Wind-Down Entity achieving certain
specified cumulative amounts of distributions to the Trust. Effective January 1, 2023, there were no remaining bonus
arrangements for the executive officers. Accordingly, no amounts are accrued as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023. During the
three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no bonus payments. During the nine months ended March 31, 2024, no amounts were paid related to bonuses and during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $3,273,000 was paid related to bonuses.

attorneys. As of March 31, 2024, the cases against eight law firms and nine individual attorneys have been settled or dismissed and litigation against one law firm and an individual
is pending. The Company

As of March
31, 2024, 34 legal actions remain pending. Additionally, since February 15, 2019 and as of March 31, 2024, the Trust has obtained
default and stipulated judgments related to certain avoidance actions. It is unknown at this time how much, if any, will ultimately be collected on the judgments. Therefore, the Company has not recognized any recoveries from these judgments.

Commitments and Contingencies |
Since the Company uses the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company has accrued estimated liquidation costs to the extent they are reasonably determinable, which
includes the items discussed in this footnote.
The Company had a lease for its office space that expired on January 31, 2024. This lease was not renewed upon expiration. The monthly base rent was approximately $4,000 per month. The amount of rent paid, including common area maintenance and parking charges, during the three months
ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $8,000 and $13,000, respectively, and during the nine
months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was approximately $37,000 and $38,000, respectively. On December 18, 2023, the Company entered into a new month-to-month lease
for office space commencing on January 1, 2024. The lease may be terminated with no less than one month’s notice from the first day of any calendar month. The monthly rent is approximately
$2,000. On
December 20, 2023, the Company paid a deposit of approximately $2,000 related to the new office lease and on March 22,
2024, the Company paid an additional deposit of approximately $2,000 related to the new lease.
The Wind-Down Entity has part-time employment agreements with its two executive officers
through December 31, 2023. The agreements renewed automatically on January 1, 2024, subject to the right of either party to terminate the agreement at any time and for any reason on thirty days’ advance written notice.
A construction defect claim was
asserted against one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries by the buyer of one of the subsidiary’s single-family homes during the year ended June 30, 2023. The subsidiary has tendered the claim to its insurance carriers; however, the carriers have not
yet accepted the claim. At this time, the amount of the liability exposure has not been determined and the subsidiary’s exposure is unknown. The subsidiary is investigating the claim, including the extent and causes of the alleged damage and
the identification of other potentially responsible persons.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. These consolidated
financial statements have been presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial
Statements (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting”. The June 30, 2023 consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures or
notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
|
Consolidation |
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
|
Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities are revised in the period that available information supports a change in the carrying amount.
|
Liquidation Basis of Accounting |
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, all assets are
recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of net cash that will be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). The measurement of real estate assets
was based on current contracts (if any), if contingencies have been removed, estimates and other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs.
Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with
implementing and completing the Plan, are measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. The Company has recorded estimated development costs, estimated reserves for contingent liabilities including potential
construction defect claims and the estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company. When estimating development costs, the Company considered estimates of costs to complete punch
list items and to address potential construction defect claims and other costs. Projected general and administrative cost estimates take into account operating costs through the completion of the liquidation of the Company, currently estimated
to be approximately March 31, 2026, and an accrual for the administration of potential construction defect claims.
These estimated amounts are presented in the accompanying
consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation. All changes in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s real estate or other assets and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the estimated net
realizable values, liquidation costs and the estimated date of the completion of the liquidation of the Company and records any significant changes. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be
adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is approved. The change in value may include the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.
|
Other Assets |
Other Assets
The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action when an agreement is executed, final court
approval is received (if required), and collectability is reasonably assured. The amount recovered may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.
An
allowance for uncollectible settlement installment receivables is recorded when there is doubt about the collectability of the receivable. The Company records escrow receivables at the amount that is expected to be received when the escrow
receivable is released. The Forfeited Assets (Note 6) received from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), other than cash, have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value.
The Company accrues
expected interest earnings when it can reasonably estimate the amount to be received. The Company uses a forward yield curve to estimate the interest rates to be earned and its expected future cash balances to estimate the dollar amount that will
earn interest through the expected Trust termination date of March 31, 2026.
In addition, the Company recognizes other amounts to be received based on contractual terms or when the amounts to be received are
certain.
|
Accrued Liquidation Costs |
Accrued Liquidation Costs
The Company accrues estimated liquidation costs to the
extent they are reasonably determinable. These costs consist of (a) estimated development costs including the costs to complete punch list items, bond refunds and estimated reserves for contingent liabilities including potential construction
defect claims and other costs and (b) estimated general and administrative costs including payroll, legal and other professional fees, trustee and board fees, rent and other office related expenses, and other general and administrative costs to
operate the Company and the administration of construction defect claims.
|
Cash Equivalents |
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term investments that have a maturity date of 90 days or less at the time of investment to be a cash equivalent.
|
Restricted Cash |
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash that can only be used for certain specified purposes as described in Note 3.
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, which are held as
deposits in several financial institutions. The deposit balances in any one financial institution may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company mitigates this risk by using accounts at multiple
financial institutions to reduce deposit balances at any one financial institution consistent with FDIC insurance limits.
|
Income Taxes |
Income Taxes
The Trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income tax on
any income earned or gain recognized by the Trust. The Trust’s beneficiaries will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each asset, including cash and each liability of the Trust. Each beneficiary will be required to report on his or her
federal and state income tax return his or her pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Trust. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal or state income taxes recorded in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
The Company regularly analyzes its various federal and state filing positions and only recognizes the income tax effect in the consolidated
financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. The Company believes that its income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities.
Therefore, no provision for uncertain income tax positions has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
