Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Company,” “we” “our” or “us”) and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

• Our board of directors adopted a plan of liquidation, which was approved by our stockholders on January 3, 2017, to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company including our operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”), and to liquidate and dissolve the Company and the OP (the “Liquidation Plan”); however, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in selling our remaining property and completing the Liquidation Plan;

• There can be no assurance as to the actual amount of liquidating distributions our unitholders will receive pursuant to the Liquidation Plan or when they will receive them;

• If we are unable to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and lease currently available space or if tenants default under their leases or other obligations to us during the liquidation process, our cash flow will be reduced and our liquidating distributions may be reduced;

• Our property is located in the New York metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”), making us dependent upon the economic climate in New York City;

• We may be adversely affected by changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, and changes in conditions of United States or international lending, capital and financing markets.

All forward-looking statements should be read together with the risks and other information discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Organization

All references to the “Liquidating LLC” refer to New York REIT Liquidating LLC and all references to “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to New York REIT Liquidating LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

New York REIT Liquidating LLC was formed on November 7, 2018 and is the successor in interest to New York REIT, Inc. (the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor 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 Predecessor listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NYRT.”

On August 22, 2016, the Predecessor’s 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 Predecessor and New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”) and to liquidate and dissolve the Predecessor 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 part of the Liquidation Plan and in order to comply with applicable tax laws, at a special meeting of stockholders on September 7, 2018, the stockholders approved the conversion of Predecessor from a Maryland corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and the delisting of Predecessor’s common stock from the NYSE (the “Conversion”). Liquidating LLC was formed upon the effectiveness of the Conversion at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 7, 2018.

Substantially all of the Predecessor’s business was conducted through its OP. Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, all of the assets held by the OP have been sold, and the OP was dissolved prior to the Conversion on November 7, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s only significant assets are a 50.1% equity interest in WWP Holdings LLC (“WWP”) which owns one property, aggregating 2.0 million rentable square feet, with an occupancy of 96.5%, and a $90.7 million cash reserve to be utilized for improvements at WWP. The Company’s property consists of office space, retail space and a garage, representing 88%, 5% and 7%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of December 31, 2018.

As of February 28, 2019, the Company has sold all of its properties except for the remaining 50.1% interest in Worldwide Plaza. Also, as of February 28, 2019, the Company has paid aggregate cash liquidating distributions of $987.4 million, or $58.80 per unit of common membership.

The Predecessor had and the Company has no employees. Prior to March 8, 2017, the Predecessor 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 Predecessor’s property manager, except for properties where services were performed by a third party. The Former Advisor and ARG Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC, (the “Sponsor”), which is the successor business to AR Capital, LLC (“AR Global”).

DECEMBER 31, 2018

On March 8, 2017, the Predecessor 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”). Since November 7, 2018, the Winthrop Advisor continues to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Winthrop Property Manager no longer manages any of our properties.

Under the Liquidation Plan, the Predecessor was not, and under our limited liability company agreement, we are not permitted to make any new investments except to make protective acquisitions or advances with respect to our existing assets. We are permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and fund required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at our real estate property owned by the joint venture in which we own an interest.

The Liquidation Plan enables us to sell any and all of our assets without further approval of the unitholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the unitholders as determined by the Company’s Board of Managers (the “Board of Managers”).

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

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

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

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

In March 2018, the Predecessor 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 were redeemed for cash in lieu of shares.

Sales Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation

Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, excluding the partial sale of Worldwide Plaza, we sold six properties for an aggregate purchase price of $1.325 billion during 2017 and ten properties for an aggregate purchase price of $479.6 million in 2018.

DECEMBER 31, 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”). The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan are collectively referred to as 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 our properties located in New York, New York at 245-249 West 17th Street, 333 West 34th Street, 216-218 West 18th Street, 50 Varick Street, 229 West 36th Street, 122 Greenwich Street, 350 West 42nd Street, 382-384 Bleecker Street, 350 Bleecker Street, 416-425 Washington Street, 33 West 56th Street and 120 West 57th Street (the “POL Loan Properties”). In April 2018, the POL Loans were fully satisfied, and all the POL Loan properties sold during 2017 and 2018 have been released and are no longer collateral for the POL Loans.

Tax Status

The Predecessor operated in a market which qualified it as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2010 through November 7, 2018, the date of conversion. In order to qualify for taxation as a REIT we were generally required, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements until the date of conversion.

The Liquidating LLC will be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements. All distributions from the Liquidating LLC in 2018 are considered a return of capital for tax purposes. Unitholders will receive a Schedule K-1 from the Liquidating LLC annually reflecting their allocable share of the Liquidating LLC’s income, loss, gains and deductions.

Competition

The New York City real estate market is highly competitive and there are many competing properties in the New York MSA. With respect to the remaining asset that we own, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. Many competitors have substantially greater marketing budgets and financial resources than we do which could limit our success when we compete with them directly. Competition could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on property operating expenses. We also may compete with other entities advised or sponsored by affiliates of the Winthrop Advisor for tenants.

Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan we have competition from other properties located in the New York City real estate market both from an operations perspective and with respect to the disposition of our property. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business and our net assets in liquidation.

Regulations

Our investment is subject to various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investment.

DECEMBER 31, 2018

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest.

Employees

We have no employees. The employees of the Winthrop Advisor and their affiliates perform a full range of real estate services for us, including accounting, asset management and investor relations services.

We are dependent on these affiliates for services that are essential to us, including asset dispositions, asset management and other general administrative responsibilities.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

With the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, we have only one reporting segment subsequent to January 3, 2017.

Available Information and Company’s Website

Our website is located at www.nyrt.com. We post filings on our website as soon as practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to the SEC, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and any amendments to such reports or statements. All such postings and filings are available on the “Investor” portion of our website free of charge. The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which is available free of charge.

We are not incorporating by reference our website or any information contained on or connected to our website into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Set forth below are the risk factors that we believe are material to our investors. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could have a material adverse effect on our Liquidation Plan or could delay or reduce liquidating distributions to our unitholders. In this section, references to “you” refers to the holders of our Units.

Risks Related to The Liquidation Plan

We cannot assure you of the actual amount you will receive in liquidating distributions pursuant to the Liquidation Plan or when you will receive them.

The net proceeds of the Liquidation Plan will be distributed to unitholders over time in one or more liquidating distributions. The actual amount that we will distribute to you in the liquidation will depend upon the actual amount of our liabilities, the actual proceeds from the sale of our remaining property, the actual fees and

9

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

expenses incurred in connection with the sale of our property, the actual expenses incurred in the administration of our property prior to disposition, our actual general and administrative expenses, including fees and expense reimbursements paid to the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates and other liabilities that may be incurred by us, our ability to continue to meet the requirements necessary to retain our status as a REIT throughout the liquidation process, our ability to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes throughout the period of the liquidation process and other factors. If our liabilities (including, without limitation, tax liabilities and compliance costs) are greater than we currently expect or if the sales price of our asset is less than we expect, you will receive less in total liquidating distributions.

While we have previously provided estimates about the timing and amount of liquidating distributions that we will make, these estimates are based on multiple assumptions, one or more of which may prove to be incorrect, and the actual amount of liquidating distributions we pay to you may be more or less than these estimates. We cannot assure you of the actual amount you will receive in liquidating distributions pursuant to the Liquidation Plan or when they will be paid.

If we are unable to find buyers for our assets on a timely basis or at our expected sales prices, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza is the only asset remaining. The sales price that we will ultimately be able to obtain for our asset is subject to many variables. For example, in order to find a buyer in a timely manner, we may be required to lower our asking price below the low end of our current estimate of the asset’s market value. If we are not able to find a buyer for this asset in a timely manner or if we have overestimated the sales price we will receive, our liquidating distributions to our unitholders would be delayed or reduced. Furthermore, real estate sales prices are constantly changing and fluctuate with changes in interest rates, supply and demand dynamics, occupancy percentages, lease rates, the availability of suitable buyers, the perceived quality and dependability of income flows from tenants and a number of other factors, both local and national. In addition, the amount of transactional fees and expenses or unknown liabilities, if any, may adversely impact the net liquidation proceeds from our assets.

We may require additional capital to implement the Liquidation Plan.

It is possible we may require additional funds for other capital needs including capital expenditures, working capital and other expenses related to our remaining property. There is no assurance that we will have sufficient capital to implement the Liquidation Plan effectively. If we need additional capital, we are unlikely to be able to access the capital markets and any failure to obtain financing to meet our capital needs, on favorable terms or at all, could reduce and delay the liquidating distributions we make to our unitholders.

We are dependent on our joint venture partner, which is the administrative member and has day-to-day control over the activities of Worldwide Plaza, and there can be no assurance as to the timing of a sale of Worldwide Plaza or that we will realize our estimated value.

Our only remaining investment is our 50.1% equity interest in the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza. We estimate holding this investment up to November 2021. While we own a majority of the membership interests in Worldwide Plaza, under the Worldwide Plaza joint venture agreement, our joint venture partner, which is a joint venture between an affiliate of SL Green Realty Corp. and a private equity fund sponsored by RXR Realty LLC, is the manager of the joint venture and is responsible for day-to-day management of Worldwide Plaza. All major decisions require the consent of the Board of Managers, including the consent of

DECEMBER 31, 2018

Samuel Ashner who is our designee on the Board of Managers, however, we do not have control of the day-to-day decisions to be made by Worldwide Plaza, and therefore we are dependent on our joint venture partners and there is a risk of impasse. Additionally, under the joint venture agreement, we would lose approval rights relating to property-level major decisions for Worldwide Plaza if Samuel Ashner ceased to serve on the Board of Managers and we did not appoint a replacement consented to by our joint venture partners, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, within 90 days. Investments in joint ventures under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved. Our joint venture partner may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Disputes between us and our joint venture partner may result in litigation. Consequently, actions by or disputes with our joint venture partner might result in subjecting us to additional risk. In addition, in certain circumstances we may be liable for the actions of our joint venture partner or subject to dilution of our interest if we fail to make required capital contributions to the venture.

We have a right to transfer our membership interests in Worldwide Plaza to purchasers meeting certain qualifications, subject to a right of first offer to our joint venture partner. If our interest is not sold prior to, commencing January 18, 2022, we and our joint venture partner also have the right to require the joint venture to market the property owned by it for sale, subject to a right of first offer to our joint venture partner.

Any transferee of our interest would acquire an interest subject to the same limitations on participation in the management of Worldwide Plaza that are applicable to us. There can be no assurance these limitations will not affect our ability to sell our interest in Worldwide Plaza or the amount we would receive on a sale. In addition, we may determine that a sale of the property rather than our interest in Worldwide Plaza is the best way to maximize the value of our interest in Worldwide Plaza. Because we do not have a right to initiate a sale of the property until 2022, a sale of the property could substantially delay the timing of our complete liquidation. Additionally, the existence of the right of first offers may delay our ability to sell the Worldwide Plaza property or our interest in Worldwide Plaza on terms and in the timeframe of our choosing and may diminish the price we receive on a sale.

Our management has estimated that the value of Worldwide Plaza may increase as a result of actions to be taken through our joint venture. Our venture partners have jointly developed and recommended a capital budget, which we have agreed to. The timing on the sale of the property, and the ultimate value we receive from the sale, are subject to change. The capital plan includes targeted capital improvements aimed at maintaining the institutional quality of the building and an appropriate allocation to allow for critical tenant lease renewals and rolls. In addition, capital will be available for new management to focus on repositioning the property as a more modern asset, with a corresponding program to rebrand the building as well as energizing and maximizing the potential of the retail and concourse space. We have set aside approximately $90.7 million from the refinancing proceeds to cover an estimate of our share of potential future leasing and capital costs at the property. Our joint venture partners have committed to contribute their pro-rata share of the budgeted capital investment. Management’s estimate, like any estimate or projection, is subject to various assumptions and uncertainties including the joint venture’s ability to execute on the business plan, tenants paying their rental obligations, the equity capital and financing markets and New York City market conditions generally. There is no assurance that the joint venture will be successful in taking these various actions and that these actions will, in fact, result in an increase in the value of the property.

Our ability to sell the Worldwide Plaza property may be delayed by a right of first offer held by one of the tenants of the Worldwide Plaza property.

The lease with one of the tenants at the Worldwide Plaza property contains a right of first offer in the event that WWP is selling 100% of the property. The right requires that WWP offer the tenant the option to purchase 100% of the Worldwide Plaza property, at a price (and on other material terms) proposed by WWP prior to selling the Worldwide Plaza property to a third party. If, after a 45-day period, that tenant does not accept the offer, WWP may then sell the Worldwide Plaza property to a third party, provided that WWP will be required to re-offer the property to that tenant if we desire to sell the Worldwide Plaza 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 existence of this right of first offer may delay WWP’s ability to sell the Worldwide Plaza property on terms and in the timeframe of our choosing and may diminish the price other potential purchasers may be willing to pay for the Worldwide Plaza property, which may reduce or delay the liquidating distributions that will be paid to our unitholders.

If we make distributions to our members without making adequate provisions for payment of creditors’ claims or expenses, the amount of liquidation proceeds will be reduced, and our members would be liable to the creditors to the extent of any payments due to creditors.

Under Delaware law, certain obligations or liabilities imposed by law on our members, managers or officers cannot be avoided when our Company is dissolved in accordance with the Liquidation Plan. For example, if we make distributions to our members without making adequate provisions for payment of creditors’ claims and expenses, the amount of liquidation proceeds will be reduced, and our members could be liable to the creditors to the extent of any payments due to creditors. To the extent that we have underestimated the size of our contingency reserve and distributions to our members have already been paid, our members may be required to return some or all of such distributions.

Decreases in property values may reduce the amount we receive upon sales of our assets, which would reduce the amount you receive in liquidating distributions.

The Liquidation Plan provides for the sale of all our assets, which are real estate investments, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to do so at a price or on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Investments in real properties are relatively illiquid. The amount we receive upon the sale of our asset depends on the underlying value of our asset, and the underlying value of our asset may be reduced by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, without limitation, the following:

• changes in general economic or local conditions;

• changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

• changes in interest rates and availability of mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

• increases in operating expenses;

• the financial performance of our tenants, and the ability of our tenants to satisfy their obligations under their leases;

• vacancies and inability to lease or sublease space;

• potential major repairs which are not presently contemplated or other contingent liabilities associated with the asset;

12

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

• competition; and

• changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws.

• In addition, because we only own one property following the sales completed to date, any item which adversely affects this property will have a greater effect on the Company than it would if we owned more properties and were more diversified.

If our liquidation costs or unpaid liabilities are greater than we expect, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced.

Before making the final liquidating distribution, we will need to pay or arrange for the payment of all of our transaction costs in the liquidation, all other costs and all valid claims of our creditors. Our Board of Managers may also decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us, for which we would pay a premium which has not yet been determined. Our Board of Managers may also decide to establish a reserve fund to pay these contingent claims. In addition, if the claims of our creditors are greater than we have anticipated, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced from our estimates. Further, if we decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us or a reserve fund is established, payment of liquidating distributions to our unitholders may be delayed or reduced.

Defaults under future sale agreements may delay or reduce liquidating distributions.

In connection with contemplating the Liquidation Plan, we will seek to enter into a binding sale agreement for our remaining property. The consummation of the potential sale for which we will enter into a sale agreement in the future will be subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. If the transaction contemplated by this future sale agreement does not close because of a buyer default, failure of a closing condition or for any other reason, we may not be able to enter into a new agreement on a timely basis or on terms that are as favorable as the original sale agreement. Any delay in the completion of the asset sale could delay our payment of liquidating distributions to our unitholders. We will also incur additional costs involved in locating a new buyer and negotiating a new sale agreement for this asset. If we incur these additional costs, our liquidating distributions to our unitholders would be reduced.

If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) takes the view that the conversion was a sale of assets from New York REIT, Inc. to New York REIT Liquidating LLC constituting a “prohibited transaction,” then the conversion may be subject to a 100% excise tax on the net income from such “prohibited transaction,” which would reduce the amount of our liquidating distributions.

REITs are subject to a 100% excise tax on any net income from “prohibited transactions,” which include sales or other dispositions of property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the REIT’s trade or business which is not a foreclosure property. The determination of whether property is held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business is inherently factual in nature and, thus, cannot be predicted with certainty although the Code does provide a “safe harbor” for certain types of transactions.

Following the conversion, we no longer qualify for taxation as a REIT, but rather we are taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. As a result, we are no longer subject to the 100% excise tax on the net income of “prohibited transactions” applicable to REITs for future sales. However, if the IRS takes the view that the conversion (which was treated as a sale of assets from New York REIT, Inc. to New York REIT Liquidating LLC) gave rise to one or more “prohibited transactions” resulting in the payment of taxes by us, then the amount of liquidating distributions to our unitholders could be significantly reduced.

Stockholder litigation related to the Liquidation Plan could result in substantial costs and distract our management.

Historically, extraordinary corporate actions by a company, such as the Liquidation Plan, often lead to securities class action lawsuits being filed against that company. We were already subject to a stockholder lawsuit, which has subsequently been dismissed on the basis of a provision in the Company’s bylaws providing that the state or federal courts of Maryland are the sole and exclusive forum, and which could be appealed, that included claims related to the strategic alternatives process that led to the approval of the Liquidation Plan and may become subject to more of this type of litigation as a result of the Liquidation Plan. Defending ourselves in this litigation may be expensive and, even if we ultimately prevail, the process of defending against lawsuits will divert management’s attention from implementing the Liquidation Plan and otherwise operating our business. If we do not prevail in any lawsuit, we may be liable for damages. We cannot predict the amount of any such damages, however, if applicable, they may be significant and may cause liquidating distributions to our unitholders to be reduced and/or delayed.

Unitholders could be liable to creditors to the extent of liquidating distributions received if contingent reserves are insufficient to satisfy our liabilities.

If a court holds at any time that we have failed to make adequate provision for our expenses and liabilities or if the amount ultimately required to be paid in respect of such liabilities exceeds the amount available from the contingency reserve and the assets of the limited liability company, our creditors could seek an injunction to prevent us from making distributions under the Liquidation Plan. Any such action could delay or substantially diminish the cash distributions to be paid to holders of beneficial interests of the limited liability company under the Liquidation Plan.

Interests in the limited liability company will be generally non-transferable.

Any stockholders who did not sell their shares of common stock prior to the conversion received membership interests in the limited liability company equivalent to their ownership interests in the Predecessor as represented by the shares of common stock they held prior to the conversion. Membership interests in the limited liability company will be generally non-transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Because of the illiquid nature of these interests, there can be no assurance as to how long any holder thereof may be required to hold them.

Risks Related to Our Properties and Operations

Our remaining property is located in the New York MSA, making us dependent upon the economic climate in New York City.

Our one remaining investment is located in the New York MSA. We are subject to risks generally inherent in concentrating investments in a certain geography. These risks resulting from a lack of diversification may become even greater in the event of a downturn in the commercial real estate industry and could significantly adversely affect the value of our property. A downturn in New York City’s economy, in a submarket within New York City or in the overall national economy could, for example, result in reduced demand for office or lodging space. Likewise, declines in the financial services or media sectors may have a disproportionate adverse effect on the New York City real estate market. We believe that there has been a softening in the market for real estate in New York City which has affected and could continue to affect the proceeds from sale of our property.

14

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

DECEMBER 31, 2018

Because our portfolio includes commercial office buildings located in the New York MSA, which has a relatively large number of financial and professional services sector, significant job losses in the financial and professional services sector may decrease demand for office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted.

We may be adversely affected by certain trends that reduce demand for office real estate.

Some businesses are rapidly evolving to increasingly permit employee telecommuting, flexible work schedules, open workplaces and teleconferencing. These practices enable businesses to reduce their space requirements. A continuation of the movement towards these practices could over time erode the overall demand for office space and, in turn, place downward pressure on occupancy, rental rates and property valuations.

We face significant competition for tenants.

The New York City real estate market is highly competitive and there are many competing properties in the New York MSA. With respect to the asset that we own, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. Many competitors have substantially greater marketing budgets and financial resources than we do, which could limit our success when we compete with them directly. Competition could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on property operating expenses. We also may compete with other entities advised or sponsored by affiliates of the Winthrop Advisor as well as our partners under the Worldwide Plaza joint venture agreement for tenants.

Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan we have competition from other properties located in the New York City real estate market both from an operations perspective and with respect to the disposition of our asset. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business and our net assets in liquidation.

We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire.

We may be unable to renew expiring leases on terms and conditions that are as, or more, favorable as the terms and conditions of the expiring leases. In addition, vacancies may occur at one or more of our properties due to a default by a tenant on its lease or expiration of a lease. Vacancies may reduce the value of a property as a result of reduced cash flow generated by the property. In addition, changes in space utilization by our tenants may impact our ability to renew or relet space without the need to incur substantial costs in renovating or redesigning the internal configuration of the relevant property. If we are unable to promptly renew expiring leases or release the space at similar rates or if we incur substantial costs in renewing or release the space, our cash flow and the amount of liquidating distributions we pay could be adversely affected.

We also may experience a decrease in occupancy and rental rates accompanied by increases in the cost of re-leasing space (including for tenant improvements) and in uncollectible receivables. Early lease terminations may significantly contribute to a decline in occupancy of our office property and may adversely affect the value of the impacted property. While lease termination fees increase current period income, future rental income may be diminished. During periods in which market rents decline, it is unlikely that we will collect from replacement tenants the full contracted amount which had been payable under the terminated leases.

DECEMBER 31, 2018

Tenant credit concentrations make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to those tenants.

As of December 31, 2018, the following existing tenants represented 5% or more of our total annualized cash base rents:

Tenant	Percentage of Annualized Cash Base Rent
Cravath, Swaine & Moore, LLP [1]		46	%
Nomura Holdings America, Inc. [1]		31	%

(1) Annualized cash base rent reflects our 50.1% pro rata share of rent generated by Worldwide Plaza.

The financial failure of any or all of these tenants is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, the value of the applicable property or the amount or timing of liquidating distributions. In addition, the value of our property is driven in part by the credit quality of the underlying tenants, and an adverse change in the tenants’ financial conditions or a decline in the credit rating of such tenants may result in a decline in the value of our property.

If a tenant declares bankruptcy, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.

Any of our tenants, or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States. A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. There is no assurance the tenant or its trustee would agree to assume the lease. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have a general unsecured claim for damages and it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant.

A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments, which could adversely affect our financial condition or the amount or timing of our liquidating distributions.

Our ability to operate our business and complete Liquidation Plan depends upon the participation of executive officers, and other key personnel of the Winthrop Advisor, and there is no assurance that the advisory agreement with the Winthrop Advisor (the “Current Advisory Agreement”) will continue to be extended or that such officers and personnel will remain in place.

We are an externally managed company and have no employees of our own, and our ability to operate our business, including completing the Liquidation Plan and otherwise operate on a day-to-day basis, will depend to a significant degree upon the contributions of our executive officers, and other key personnel of the Winthrop Advisor. Personnel and services that we require are provided to us under contracts with an external advisor, and we are dependent on an external advisor to manage our operations and manage our real estate assets, including sale of our real estate assets. These responsibilities also include arranging financings, providing accounting services, providing information technology services, preparing and filing all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC, the IRS and other regulatory agencies.

The Advisory Agreement, as amended, provided for a term ending on November 7, 2018, the conversion date, and provides for the Advisory Agreement to automatically renew for one month periods on the expiration of

16

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

any renewal term, unless terminated by either the Company or the Winthrop Advisor on 45 days’ notice before the expiration of any renewal term.

The termination of the Current Advisory Agreement or the loss of, or inability to retain, any key personnel of the Winthrop Advisor could adversely affect our business or our ability to successfully complete the Liquidation Plan. There can be no assurance that the Winthrop Advisor will otherwise be able to retain the services of our executive officers and other key personnel needed to successfully complete the Liquidation Plan.

Any adverse changes in the financial condition of, or our relationship with, the Winthrop Advisor could hinder our ability to successfully manage our investment and complete our plan of liquidation. Additionally, changes in ownership or management practices, the occurrence of adverse events affecting the Winthrop Advisor or its affiliates or other companies advised by the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates could create adverse publicity and adversely affect us and our relationship with lenders, tenants or counterparties.

Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general.

Our operating results are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:

• changes in general economic or local conditions;

• changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

• changes in interest rates and availability of mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

• increases in operating expenses;

• vacancies and inability to lease or sublease space;

• changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and

• periods of high interest rates and tight money supply.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage would reduce our cash flows and our liquidating distributions.

Our general liability coverage, property insurance coverage and umbrella liability coverage on our property may not be adequate to insure against liability claims and provide for the costs of defense. Similarly, we may not have adequate coverage against the risk of direct physical damage or to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild our property. Moreover, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with such catastrophic events could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.

This risk is particularly relevant with respect to potential acts of terrorism. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the “TRIA”), under which the U.S. federal government bears a significant portion of insured losses caused by terrorism, will expire on December 31, 2020, and there can be no assurance that Congress will act to renew or replace the TRIA following its expiration. In the event that the TRIA is not renewed or replaced, terrorism insurance may become difficult or impossible to obtain at reasonable costs or at all, which may result in adverse impacts and additional costs to us.

17

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

Changes in the cost or availability of insurance due to the non-renewal of the TRIA or for other reasons could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. If our property incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our asset will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which would reduce our liquidating distributions. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, the amount of liquidating distributions we make to our unitholders would be negatively impacted.

Additionally, mortgage lenders insist in some cases that commercial property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Accordingly, to the extent terrorism risk insurance policies are not available at reasonable costs, if at all, our ability to finance or refinance our properties could be impaired. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate, or any, coverage for such losses.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, civilian unrest, or war may affect the markets in which we operate our business and our profitability.

Our properties are located in the New York MSA which has experienced, and remains susceptible to, terrorist attacks. In addition, any kind of terrorist activity or violent criminal acts, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could have a negative effect on our business and the value of our property. More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy including demand for properties and the availability of financing.

Our property taxes could increase due to reassessment or property tax rate changes.

We are required to pay real property taxes in respect of our property and such taxes may increase as our property is reassessed by taxing authorities or as property tax rates change. An increase in the assessed value of our property or our property tax rates could adversely impact our financial condition and reduce the amount of liquidating distributions we make to our unitholders.

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental matters and discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations (including those of foreign jurisdictions), a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances.

In addition, when excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing, as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property, which would adversely affect our operating results.

The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could materially adversely affect our business, the value of our property and, consequently, the amounts available to make liquidating distributions to our unitholders.

Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from operating such property. Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability.

There are costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “Disabilities Act”).

Our properties are subject to the Disabilities Act. Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services, including restaurants and retail stores, be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties, or, in some cases, an award of damages.

Our business could suffer in the event the Winthrop Advisor or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations experiences system failures or cyber-incidents or a deficiency in cybersecurity.

Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for the internal information technology systems of the Winthrop Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations, we are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business.

A cyber-incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information resources. More specifically, a cyber-incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that can result in third parties gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information. As reliance on technology in our industry has increased, so have the risks posed to the systems of the Winthrop Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations. In addition, the risk of a cyber-incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and

19

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted attacks and intrusions evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.

The remediation costs and lost revenues experienced by a victim of a cyber-incident may be significant and significant resources may be required to repair system damage, protect against the threat of future security breaches or to alleviate problems, including reputational harm, loss of revenues and litigation, caused by any breaches.

In addition, a security breach or other significant disruption involving the IT networks and related systems of the Winthrop Advisor or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations could:

• result in misstated financial reports, missed reporting deadlines and/or missed permitting deadlines;

• result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information (including information about our tenants), which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

• result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;

• require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;

• subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or

• adversely impact our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.

Although the Winthrop Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations intend to continue to implement industry-standard security measures, there can be no assurance that those measures will be sufficient, and any material adverse effect experienced by the Winthrop Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations could, in turn, have an adverse impact on us.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Employees of the Winthrop Advisor, including employees who will be our executive officers, face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates.

We are an externally managed company and have no employees. Employees or consultants of the Winthrop Advisor who will provide services to us, including employees or consultants who will serve as our officers, also hold or may hold positions with the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates and provide services with respect to other entities or with respect to other properties or businesses of the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates, which could result in conflicts of interest.

The Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates or entities that they advise own properties, and may seek to acquire additional properties, in the New York metropolitan area. Conflicts could result in actions or inactions by the Winthrop Advisor or employees or consultants of the Winthrop Advisor, including employees or consultants who

20

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

will be our executive officers, that are detrimental to our business. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from involvement in activities related to (a) allocation of management time and services between us and the other entities, (b) terms and timing of sales of properties, and (c) the lease of vacant space or renewal of existing leases at our properties as compared to properties owned or managed by affiliates of the Winthrop Advisor.

The Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the structure of the fees they receive, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

Under the Current Advisory Agreement, the Winthrop Advisor is entitled to certain fees and other compensation which may result in its interests not being wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. For example, the Winthrop Advisor could be motivated to recommend certain actions that could increase the potential that it will earn incentive fees, but which may not be consistent with actions desired by our stockholders.

Risks Related to our Corporate Structure

We depend on our joint venture for cash flow and are structurally subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of our joint venture.

Our only significant asset is our interest in the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza. Accordingly, we rely on distributions from our joint venture of their net earnings and cash flows.

There is no assurance that our joint venture will be able to, or be permitted to, pay distributions to us that will enable us to pay our obligations. Our joint venture is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from this entity.

Our rights and the rights of our members to recover claims against our managers and officers are limited, which could reduce recoveries against them if they cause us to incur losses.

Our limited liability company agreement provides that no manager or officer will be liable to us or our members for monetary damages and requires us to indemnify our managers and our officers. Our limited liability company agreement also provides that our managers shall have the same duties, including a duty of loyalty and a duty of care to the Company and its members as does a director of a corporation incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law, assuming that such director was protected to the maximum extent possible by the inclusion in the certificate of incorporation of a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. We and our members may have more limited rights against our managers and officers than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce recoveries against them. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs or otherwise reimburse for losses incurred by our managers or officers in some cases pursuant to our agreements with them.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing and Investments

We have outstanding debt, and the amount of debt and its cost may increase and refinancing may not be available on acceptable terms.

Our business is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing. The total principal amount of our combined outstanding indebtedness, which represents our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza’s indebtedness, was $601.2 million as of December 31, 2018.

We may be unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity. Our substantial indebtedness and the cash flow associated with serving our indebtedness could have important consequences, including the risks that:

• our cash flow could be insufficient to pay principal and interest;

• our debt financing contains prepayment penalties, assumption fees or other provisions that restrict our ability to transfer assets;

• we might be required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of liquidating distributions we make;

• our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, satisfaction of debt service requirements and general corporate or other purposes could be limited;

• we may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness (which requires substantial principal payments at maturity) and, if we can, the terms of such refinancing might not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness;

• if principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced or extended, our cash flow may not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt; and

• prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) may result in higher interest rates, which could adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service debt and pay liquidating distributions.

In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of an investment in us. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entity that owns our property. If we provide a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns our property, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If our property is foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders will be adversely affected which would result in a decrease in the amount of liquidating distributions we will be able to pay.

Tax-exempt entities and non-U.S. persons face unique tax issues from holding units, which are consistent with the issues they would face as holders of beneficial interests if we transfer our remaining assets to a liquidating trust, that may result in adverse tax consequences to them.

Consistent with how we would expect investments in beneficial interests to be taxed if we were to transfer our remaining assets to a liquidating trust, investment in the units by tax-exempt entities, including employee

DECEMBER 31, 2018

benefit plans and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), and non-U.S. persons raises issues unique to them. For example, virtually all income of the Liquidating LLC that would be allocated to organizations exempt from U.S. federal income tax, including IRAs and other retirement plans, would be unrelated business taxable income and may be taxable to such holders if they are not “qualified organizations” within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(B) of the Code. Distributions to non-U.S. persons will generally be reduced by withholding taxes imposed at the highest effective applicable tax rate, and non-U.S. persons will be required to file U.S. federal income tax returns and pay tax on their respective shares of the Liquidating LLC’s taxable income.

You may be subject to state and local taxes and return filing requirements in the state where the Company owns properties as a result of holding units or, following a transfer of all of the Company’s assets to a liquidating trust, beneficial interests.

Following the conversion, in addition to U.S. federal income taxes, the unitholders of the Liquidating LLC may become subject to other taxes, including state and local income taxes, unincorporated business taxes and estate, inheritance or intangible taxes that may be imposed by New York State and New York City, even if they do not reside in those jurisdictions. Unitholders would likely be required to file New York State and New York City income tax returns and pay state and local income taxes. Further, unitholders may become subject to penalties for failure to comply with these requirements. It is the responsibility of each unitholder to file all U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns that may be required of such unitholder.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company received a request for information from the City of New York related to the Company’s June 2017 and October 2013 acquisitions of interests in Worldwide Plaza for purposes of determining if any additional transfer taxes are due. The seller of the interests received a similar information request. Both parties have provided responses to the requests. The Company does not expect to incur any liability associated with this request and has been indemnified by the seller should any additional transfer taxes be imposed on the transactions.

The information related to litigation and regulatory matters contained in “Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies” of our notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

The Predecessor’s common stock was traded on the NYSE under the symbol “NYRT.” In connection with the conversion of the Predecessor to the Company, the stock transfer books of the Predecessor were closed as of the close of business on November 2, 2018, which was the last day of trading for the Predecessor’s common stock. For tax purposes, the fair value of each Unit in the Company received by stockholders when the conversion became effective, which reflects the value of the remaining assets of the Company (net of liabilities), was $14.00 per Unit and was equal to the average of the high and low trading prices for shares of the Predecessor’s common stock on the last three days on which the shares were traded on the NYSE. The Units of the Company are not listed for trading on any exchange, and there is no established trading market for the Units.

Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total stockholder return on NYRT common stock, based on the closing market price of the common stock and reinvested dividends, with the FTSE National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) Equity Index and the New York Stock Exchange Index (“NYSE Index”) for the period commencing April 15, 2014, the date on which we listed our shares on the NYSE and ending November 2, 2018, the last day of trading. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on April 15, 2014.

Holders

As of February 28, 2019, we had 16,791,769 Units outstanding held by a total of 603 unitholders of record.

Dividends

Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan and our Limited Liability Company Agreement dated November 7, 2018, the actual amount and timing of, and record date for, future liquidating distributions on our Units will be determined by our Board of Managers and will depend upon the timing and amount of cash flow distributions and ultimate sale proceeds from our interest in Worldwide Plaza and the amounts deemed necessary by our Board of Managers to pay or provide for our liabilities and obligations. The actual cash flow available to pay distributions will be affected by a number of factors, including among others, the risks and information discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Share-Based Compensation Plan

The Restricted Share Plan (the “RSP”) provided for the issuance of restricted shares, including to our non-executive directors. Our Board delegated its administrative responsibilities under the RSP to its compensation committee. In this capacity, the compensation committee had the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to our Predecessor’s directors, officers, employees of the Former Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to us, directors of the Former Advisor or of entities that provide

services to us, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to the Former Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to us. The compensation committee also had the ability in this capacity to determine which form the awards would take and the terms and conditions of the awards.

No shares under the RSP were issued during 2018. On October 5, 2018, the Board released all restrictions on any remaining unvested restricted shares.

The vesting terms of awards under the RSP were as described in the relevant award agreement. The RSP was terminated upon the conversion to the Liquidating LLC.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of New York REIT Liquidating LLC and the notes thereto. As used herein, the term “Liquidating LLC” refers to New York REIT Liquidating LLC and the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Liquidating LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, and, as required by context to New York REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, to New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”), and to their subsidiaries. As of March 8, 2017, we are externally managed by Winthrop REIT Advisors, LLC (the “Winthrop Advisor”). Prior to March 8, 2017, we were externally managed by New York Recovery Advisors, LLC (the “Former Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company. The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Please see “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this report for a description of these risks and uncertainties. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed to those terms under “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8, which includes the notes to our consolidated financial statements and contained herein.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These audited financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Overview

On August 22, 2016 the Predecessor’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a plan of liquidation to sell in an orderly manner all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of the OP (the “Liquidation Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. The Liquidation Plan was approved at a special meeting of stockholders on January 3, 2017.

The Liquidation Plan provides for an orderly sale of our assets, payment of our liabilities and other obligations and the winding down of operations and the dissolution of the Company. We are no longer permitted to make any new investments except to make protective acquisitions on advances with respect to our existing assets. We are permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and pay for required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at our real estate property owned by the joint venture in which we own an interest.

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

In October 2018, we announced the withdrawal of our common stock from listing on the NYSE in connection with the conversion. November 2, 2018 was the last day on which shares of our common stock were

31

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

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

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

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

The dissolution process and the amount and timing of distributions to unitholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to unitholders, and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. To date, liquidating distributions totaling $58.80 per common share have been paid.

Liquidation Plan

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, all of our assets have been sold except our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. For purposes of liquidation accounting, our estimate of net assets in liquidation value assumes a sale of Worldwide Plaza at December 31, 2019 based on a value of $1.725 billion. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of future asset sales.

The net assets in liquidation of $372.6 million at December 31, 2018 are presented on an undiscounted basis and does not include Management’s estimated future increase in value from the planned investment in the repositioning of Worldwide Plaza. Our current estimate of the liquidation value of investments in real estate

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

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

Current Activity

Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, excluding the partial sale of Worldwide Plaza, the Company sold six properties for an aggregate purchase price of $1.325 billion during 2017 and ten properties for an aggregate purchase price of $479.6 million in 2018. Also, in 2017 the Company sold a 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza based on an aggregate property value of $1.725 billion. The sales of properties are summarized in “Business – Sales Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation”.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million. Our total assets and undiscounted net assets in liquidation were $376.4 million and $372.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

Our principal demands for funds are to pay or fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidating distributions to our unitholders. We believe that cash flow distributions we expect to receive from our investment in Worldwide Plaza will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our operating, administrative and other expenses incurred during liquidation. However, due to the previous property sales, we will have reduced future operating revenue and may need to fund future operating expenses from cash on hand. Our principal sources and uses of funds are further described below.

Principal Sources of Funds

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

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

Sales Proceeds

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

Other Sources of Funds

During the year ended December 31, 2018 we received net distributions of $17.3 million in respect of our interest in Worldwide Plaza.

Principal Use of Funds

Capital Expenditures

As of December 31, 2018, we owned a 50.1% interest in the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza. In connection with the leasing of the property, the joint venture entered into agreements with its tenants to provide allowances for tenant improvements. These allowances require the joint venture to fund capital expenditures up to amounts specified in the lease agreements. Our share of capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2018 was funded from property cash flow.

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

Liquidating Distributions

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

Loan Obligations

During 2018, the outstanding balance on our POL Loans was repaid in full, and we no longer have any consolidated mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2018.

34

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

On August 1, 2017, our mortgage loan collateralized by the 1100 Kings Highway property, which consisted of 2091 Coney Island Avenue and 2067-2073 Coney Island Avenue, was modified to extend the maturity date to April 1, 2018 and to allow for partial release of the collateral. The 2091 Coney Island Avenue property was sold on February 14, 2018 and we made a $4.4 million payment on the loan in connection with the sale. Following the pay down, the outstanding mortgage loan balance was $15.8 million and was collateralized only by the 2067-2073 Coney Island Avenue property. On April 1, 2018, the mortgage loan was modified to extend the maturity date to May 29, 2018. The 2067-2073 Coney Island Avenue property was sold on May 1, 2018 and the loan was repaid in full at closing.

Cash Flows

Our level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $223.2 million from $241.0 million at December 31, 2017 to $17.8 million at December 31, 2018.

The holders of Common Shares approved the Liquidation Plan on January 3, 2017, and we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective January 1, 2017. We did not make any acquisitions in new investments in 2018, and, in accordance with the Liquidation Plan, no further acquisitions are expected.

Our primary sources of non-operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2018 include:

• $255.0 million from the sale of our 333 West 34^th Street property;

• $47.0 million from the sale of our 306 East 61^st Street property;

• $41.0 million from the sale of the Viceroy Hotel;

• $31.5 million from the sale of our 350 Bleecker Street and 367-387 Bleecker Street properties;

• $31.0 million from the sale of our One Jackson Square property;

• $30.5 million from the sale of our 2067-2073 Coney Island Avenue property;

• $25.1 million from the sale of our 350 West 42^nd Street property;

• $11.2 million from the sale of our 416 Washington Street property;

• $3.8 million from the sale of our 2091 Coney Island Avenue property; and

• $3.5 million from the sale of our Centurion Parking Garage property.

Our primary uses of non-operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2018 include:

• $471.8 million for liquidating distributions to common shareholders;

• $215.5 million for principal repayments on our mortgage notes; and

• $18.1 million for costs associated with the sale of properties.

Contractual Obligations

We did not have any contractual debt or lease obligations as of December 31, 2018.

Comparability of Financial Data From Period to Period

Under going concern accounting, the comparability of financial data from period to period was affected by several items including (i) the timing of our property acquisition and leasing activity; (ii) the timing of property

35

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

sales; (iii) when material impairment losses on assets are taken; and (iv) fluctuations in the fair value of our OP units and restricted shares.

Results of Operations

Due to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, we are no longer reporting funds from operations, core funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, net operating income, cash net operating income and adjusted cash net operating income, as we no longer consider these to be key performance measures.

In light of the adoption of liquidation basis accounting as of January 1, 2017, the results of operations for the current year period are not comparable to the prior year period. Subsequent to the adoption of the plan of liquidation, we have only one reporting and operating segment. Changes in the liquidation value of our assets are discussed below under Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.

Occupancy and Leasing

See Item 2 (“Properties”)

Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $460.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.

The reduction during the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to liquidating distributions to common stockholders totaling $471.8 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 $1.1 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated costs. The reduction in net assets was offset by a net increase of $17.1 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza primarily related to the extended estimated hold period.

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $719.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The reduction during the year ended December 31, 2017 is primarily due to liquidating distributions to common stockholders of $515.5 million, a $109.5 million difference between estimated liquidation values and actual sale prices, a $34.7 million decrease due to the revision of estimated liquidation values, a $52.2 million decrease due to the remeasurement of estimated costs, including defeasance costs and a $7.8 million decrease due to the remeasurement of closing costs, debt costs and the revision of holding periods.

The net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2018, which are presented on an undiscounted basis, includes Worldwide Plaza valued at $1.725 billion which is based on the sale of a 48.7% interest in the property as discussed in Note 7 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and excludes Management’s estimate of any future increase in value from the planned investment in the repositioning of Worldwide Plaza, resulting in estimated future liquidating distributions of approximately $22.19 per unit. This estimate of liquidating distributions includes projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the period required to complete the Liquidation Plan. As of October 18, 2017, Worldwide Plaza is managed by a joint venture of SL Green and RXR Realty, two of the largest owner operators in New York City. We, along with our joint venture partners, are committed to investing significant additional capital into Worldwide Plaza to further improve and reposition the

36

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

asset which we believe includes embedded opportunities to roll leases to increase the value of the property. Any increase in the future market value of Worldwide Plaza will be reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in liquidation as the specific actions related to the repositioning have been completed and such increases in market value can be observed. Management’s estimate, like any estimate or projection, is subject to various assumptions and uncertainties including the joint venture’s ability to execute on the business plan, tenants paying their rental obligations, the equity capital and financing markets and New York City market conditions generally. There is no assurance that the joint venture will be successful in taking these various actions and that these actions will, in fact, result in the estimated increase in the value of the property.

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

Tax Status

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

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

Inflation

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, our most sensitive estimates involved the allocation of the purchase price of acquired properties, evaluating our real estate investments for impairment, and valuing our OP and LTIP units. Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, we are required to estimate all costs and income we expect to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash we expect to collect on the disposal of our assets and the estimated costs to dispose of our assets.

Revenue Recognition

Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, we accounted for our leases with tenants as operating leases with rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Because many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) required us to record a receivable, and include in revenues on a straight-line basis, unbilled rent receivables that we would only receive if the tenant made all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. We deferred the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When we acquired a property, the acquisition date was considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation.

Rental revenue recognition commenced when the tenant took possession or control of the physical use of the leased space. For the tenant to take possession, the leased space had to be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space was substantially ready for its intended use, we evaluated whether we, or the tenant, owned the tenant improvements. When we were the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition began when the tenant took possession of the finished space, which was when such improvements were substantially complete. When we concluded that the tenant was the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition began when the tenant took possession of or controlled the space.

Under liquidation accounting, we accrued all income that we expected to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent we had a reasonable basis for estimation. These amounts were classified in 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. We continually review 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.

Under going concern accounting, unbilled rent receivable included the difference between straight line rent and contractual amounts due. We reviewed unbilled rent receivables monthly for collectability. Unbilled rent receivable is not contemplated under liquidation accounting. We accrue rental revenue based on contractual amounts expected to be collected during liquidation.

We owned certain properties with leases that included provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets

38

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

FORM 10-K

DECEMBER 31, 2018

which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, under going concern accounting we deferred the recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income was achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based were known. Contingent rental income earned was included in rental income on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2016. Contingent rental income is not contemplated under liquidation accounting unless we have a reasonable basis to estimate future receipts.

Cost recoveries from tenants were included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs were incurred, as applicable.

Our hotel revenues were recognized as earned and were derived from room rentals and other sources such as charges to guests for telephone service, movie and vending commissions, meeting and banquet room revenue and laundry services.

Investments in Real Estate

As of January 1, 2017, the investments in real estate were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, to reflect the change to the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation value represented the estimated amount of cash we expected to collect on the disposal of our assets as we carried out our Liquidation Plan. The liquidation value of our investments in real estate were presented on an undiscounted basis. Estimated costs to dispose of these assets were presented separately from the related assets. Subsequent to January 1, 2017, all changes in the estimated liquidation value of the investments in real estate were reflected as a change in our undiscounted net assets in liquidation.

The liquidation value of real estate investments was determined by considering projected operating cash flows, sales of comparable assets, if any, and replacement costs among other measures. The methods used to estimate the fair value of real estate investments include the discounted cash flow method, sales approach and/or third party information such as appraisals and sale offers to the extent available.

Depreciation and Amortization

Under going concern accounting, depreciation was computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five to seven years for fixtures and improvements, and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests. Under liquidation accounting, investments in real estate are no longer depreciated.

Under going concern accounting, acquired above-market leases were amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Acquired below-market leases were amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods. Acquired above-market ground leases were amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Acquired below-market ground leases were amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option period. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above- and below-market in-place leases, was amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases. Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts, if applicable, were amortized as a reduction or increased to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages. Under liquidation accounting, intangible assets and liabilities are included in the liquidation value of investments in real estate and are no longer amortized.

DECEMBER 31, 2018

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Under going concern accounting, when circumstances indicated the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we reviewed the asset for impairment. This review was based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates considered factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If such estimated cash flows were less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss was recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of the property.

Derivative Instruments

We used derivative financial instruments to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a portion of our borrowings. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. As of December 31, 2018, we did not hold any derivative instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

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

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $601.2 million of unconsolidated mortgage debt reflecting our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza’s total mortgage debt of $1.2 billion. This debt consisted of fixed-rate secured mortgage notes payable. Changes in market interest rates have no impact on interest due on the notes.

Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Board of Managers have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process which was designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executives and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Trustees of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013) in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework.”

Based on that assessment and those criteria, management has maintained and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

On March 12, 2019 our Board of Managers resolved to make amendments to our Code of Ethics primarily to reflect our conversion to a limited liability company governed by a Board of Managers.

Advisor

Prior to March 8, 2017, the Former Advisor managed, and from March 8, 2017 until November 2018, the Winthrop Advisor managed the day-to-day operations of our Predecessor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Winthrop Advisor currently manages the day-to-day operations of the Company. The services provided by the Winthrop Advisor include: (i) serving as our investment and financial advisor; (ii) performing and supervising the various administrative functions necessary for the day-to-day management of our operations, including providing personnel necessary to perform such services; (iii) engaging and conducting business with consultants, accountants, lenders, attorneys, brokers and other service providers and overseeing the performance of services; (iv) overseeing acquisitions and dispositions of investments and recommending acquisitions and dispositions of investments to our board of directors; (v) arranging for financings and refinancings; (v) overseeing and managing our existing investments; (vi) managing accounting and other record-keeping functions; (vii) preparing and filing all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC, the IRS and other regulatory agencies; (viii) maintaining our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (ix) monitoring compliance with our corporate-level and property-level indebtedness.

Advisory Agreement – Advisor

On December 19, 2016 the Predecessor entered into an agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Winthrop Advisor, pursuant to which Winthrop Advisor served as the Predecessor’s 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.

The Predecessor 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, and the revised terms on the Advisory Agreement following these amendments are described below.

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

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

On each of January 3, 2017 and February 1, 2017, the Predecessor 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, and continuing through the Liquidation Date, the Predecessor paid Winthrop Advisor an asset management fee equal to 0.325% per annum of the cost of assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) up to $3.0 billion and 0.25% per annum of the cost of assets in excess of $3.0 billion.

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

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

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 entity’s quarterly and annual reports pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.

From and after March 1, 2018, the Predecessor agreed to reimburse the Winthrop Advisor for the compensation of Wendy Silverstein as the Company’s chief executive officer or otherwise, in such amounts as agreed to between the Winthrop Advisor and the Predecessor, which provision is no longer applicable following Wendy Silverstein’s resignation. During the year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2018, the Company has accrued asset management fees and compensation reimbursements totaling $1.4 million payable to Winthrop Advisor representing management’s estimate of future asset management fees to final liquidation, provided there is no assurance that the contract will continue to be extended at the same terms, if at all. This amount is included in estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation.

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

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 by the Winthrop Property Manager or any of its affiliates. As of December 31, 2018, none of the Company’s properties are managed by the Winthrop Property Manager.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Unitholders and Board of Managers

New York REIT Liquidating LLC:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of net assets (liquidation basis) of New York REIT Liquidating LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of changes in net assets (liquidation basis) for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (going concern basis), changes in equity (going concern basis), and cash flows (going concern basis) for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets in liquidation of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the changes in its net assets in liquidation for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the one-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 3, 2017, the stockholders of the Company approved a plan of liquidation and the management of the Company concluded liquidation was imminent as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-30, Liquidation Basis of Accounting. As a result, the Company has changed its basis of accounting for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016 from the going concern basis to a liquidation basis.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

Note 1 – Organization

New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 7, 2018 and is the successor entity to New York REIT, Inc., (the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor 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 Predecessor listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NYRT” (the “Listing”).

The sole purpose of the Company is to wind up the Company’s affairs and the liquidation of the Company’s assets with no objective to continue or to engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except as necessary for the orderly liquidation of the Company’s assets.

Substantially all of the Predecessor’s business was conducted through its operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”).

On August 22, 2016, the Predecessor’s 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 Predecessor and its OP and to liquidate and dissolve the Predecessor 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. All of the assets held by the OP have been sold and the OP was dissolved prior to the conversion on November 7, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s only significant assets are a 50.1% equity interest in WWP Holdings LLC (“WWP”) which owns one property aggregating 2.0 million rentable square feet, with an average occupancy of 96.5%, and a $90.7 million cash reserve to be utilized for improvements at WWP. The Company’s property at December 31, 2018 consisted of office space, retail space and a garage representing 88%, 5% and 7%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of December 31, 2018.

The Predecessor and the Company have no employees. Prior to March 8, 2017, the Predecessor 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 Company’s property manager, except for certain properties where services were performed by a third party. 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 Predecessor 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 Predecessor 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. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split were redeemed for cash in lieu of 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.

Note 2 – Liquidation Plan

The Liquidation Plan provides for an orderly sale of the Company’s assets, payment of the Company’s liabilities and other obligations and the winding down of operations and dissolution of the Company. The Predecessor was not, and the Company is not, permitted to make any new investments except to make protective acquisitions or advances with respect to its existing assets (see Note 7). The Company is permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and fund required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at its real estate property owned by the joint venture 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 unitholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the unitholders as determined by the Company’s board of managers (the “Board of Managers”). In order to comply with applicable laws, the Predecessor converted into the Company, a limited liability company. The conversion of the Predecessor to an LLC was approved by the stockholders on September 7, 2018 and became effective on November 7, 2018.

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

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

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

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

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Pre Plan of Liquidation

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.

Post Plan of Liquidation

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of the approval of the Liquidation Plan by the stockholders, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of January 1, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2016 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on January 1, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their liquidation value, which represented the estimated amount of cash that the Company expected to collect on disposal of assets as it carried out its liquidation activities under the Liquidation Plan. All properties have been sold except the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. The Company projects that the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza will be sold approximately during the fourth quarter of 2021. The actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of sale of the Company’s remaining property.

The liquidation value of the Company’s investments in real estate were based on expected sales proceeds presented on an undiscounted basis. Estimated costs to dispose of assets were 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 included 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 management’s estimates of revenue upon re-lease based on current market assumptions. These amounts are classified as a liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets. Actual costs and revenues may differ from amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material. See Note 4 for further discussion. Actual costs incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Net Assets.

As a result of the change to the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company no longer presents a Consolidated Balance Sheet, a Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), a

66

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity or a Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. These statements are only presented for prior year periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements in which the Company has controlling financial interests, either through voting or similar rights or by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The portions of any consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company would be presented as noncontrolling interests. There were no consolidated joint venture arrangements at December 31, 2018 or 2017. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests in a VIE. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a VIE. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations.

A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate its joint ventures. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, power to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners or members as well as whether the entity is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Use of Estimates

Certain of the Company’s accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Under liquidation accounting, 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. Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, under going concern accounting, management made significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, impairment loss, fair value of investments in real estate, derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, equity-based compensation expenses related to the 2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (as amended to date, the “OPP”) and fair value measurements, as applicable.

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 represented the estimated amount of cash the Company expected to collect on the disposal of its assets as it carried out the liquidation activities of its Liquidation Plan. The liquidation value of the Company’s investments in real estate were presented on an undiscounted basis. Estimated revenue during the period following the commencement of liquidation through the expected sale date and costs to dispose of these assets were 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 Company’s net assets in liquidation presented on an undiscounted basis.

The liquidation value of investments in real estate was 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.

Depreciation and Amortization

Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, depreciation and amortization was computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five to seven years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests. Under liquidation accounting, investments in real estate are no longer depreciated.

Acquired above-market leases were amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Acquired below-market leases were amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

Acquired above-market ground leases were amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Acquired below-market ground lease values were amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option period.

The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above- and below-market in-place leases, was amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts, if applicable, were amortized as a reduction or increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages.

Under liquidation accounting, intangible assets and liabilities were included in the liquidation value of investments in real estate and were no longer amortized.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, when circumstances indicated the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviewed the asset for impairment. This review was based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and

68

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

eventual disposition. These estimates considered factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If such estimated cash flows were less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss was recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used.

Generally, the Company determined estimated fair value for properties held for sale based on the agreed-upon selling price of an asset. These assessments resulted in the immediate recognition of an impairment loss, resulting in a reduction (addition) of net income (loss). The Company recognized impairment charges of $27.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, $6.2 million and $211.8 million, respectively was held in money market funds with the Company’s financial institutions.

The Company deposits cash with high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (the “FDIC”) up to an insurance limit. The Company’s cash balances fluctuate throughout the year and may exceed insured limits from time to time. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result.

Restricted Cash

At December 31, 2018, restricted cash primarily consists of the $90.7 million capital improvement reserve for Worldwide Plaza and $1.4 million being held in escrow in connection with the sale of the Viceroy Hotel (the “Viceroy Escrow”). The Viceroy Escrow was established from proceeds of the sale of the Viceroy Hotel and was required to cover a potential seller’s obligation to fund any shortfalls to the New York Hotel Pension Fund should the purchaser of the property withdraw from the Pension Fund without fully funding the then outstanding shortfall due the Pension Fund. At December 31, 2017, restricted cash consisted of the $90.7 million capital improvement reserve for Worldwide Plaza with the balance representing maintenance real estate tax and debt service reserves.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

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

The investment in unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its liquidation value, or net realizable value, which is comprised of an estimate of the expected sale proceeds upon disposition plus the estimated net income from the venture during liquidation period. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its unconsolidated joint venture at each reporting period. Any changes in net realizable value will be reflected as a change in the Company’s net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of the Company’s remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza as of December 31, 2018 is based on a value of the property consistent with the value of the property at the time of the Company’s sale of its 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza in October 2017 (see Note 7).

Derivative Instruments

The Company periodically used derivative financial instruments to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a portion of its borrowings. The principal objective of such agreements was to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not hold any derivative instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, the Company’s revenues, which were derived primarily from rental income, included rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Because many of the Company’s leases provided for rental increases at specified intervals under going concern accounting, GAAP required that the Company record a receivable, and include in revenues on a straight-line basis, unbilled rent receivables that it will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. The Company deferred the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquired a property, the acquisition date was considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation.

Rental revenue recognition commenced when the tenant took possession of or controlled the physical use of the leased space. For the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space was substantially ready for its intended use, the Company evaluated whether the Company owned or if the tenant owned the tenant improvements. When the Company was the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition began when the tenant took possession of the finished space, which was on the date on which such improvements were substantially complete. When the tenant was the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition began when the tenant took possession of or control of the space.

When the Company concluded that it was the owner of tenant improvements, the Company capitalized the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants. When the Company concluded that the tenant was the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, the Company recorded its contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which was included in deferred leasing costs, net on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company continually reviewed receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determined collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable was in doubt, the Company recorded an increase in its allowance for uncollectible accounts or recorded a direct write-off of the receivable in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company owned certain properties with leases that included provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, the Company deferred the recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income was achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. If

70

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

contingent rental income was recognized pursuant to these provisions, contingent rental income was included in rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized contingent rental revenue of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Cost recoveries from tenants were included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs were incurred, as applicable.

The Company’s hotel revenues were recognized as earned and were derived from room rentals and other sources such as charges to guests for telephone service, movie and vending commissions, meeting and banquet room revenue and laundry services.

Under liquidation accounting, the Company accrued all revenue that it expected to earn through the end of liquidation to the extent it had a reasonable basis for estimation. Revenues were accrued based on contractual amounts due under the leases in place over the estimated holding period of each asset. To the extent that the estimated holding period for a particular asset was revised and exceeded management’s original planned liquidation period, the Company limited its estimate of future revenue as of the current reporting date to include only the period originally projected due to the inability to reliably estimate such future revenue beyond the originally projected liquidation period. These amounts were classified in 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 owned certain properties with leases that included provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may 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.

Share-Based Compensation

The Predecessor had a stock-based incentive award plan for its non-executive directors, which, under going concern accounting, was accounted for under the guidance for employee share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for a stock award was measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such awards was included in general and administrative expenses and was recognized over the service period or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted restricted shares to employees of the Former Advisor, which, under going concern accounting, were accounted for under the guidance for non-employee share-based payments. The fair value of the awards granted to employees of the Advisor were remeasured quarterly, with the resulting amortization adjustments reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not grant any restricted shares to employees of the Former Advisor.

Under liquidation accounting, compensation expense is no longer recorded as the vesting of the restricted shares does not result in cash outflows for the Company.

2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement

On April 15, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), in connection with the Listing, the Company entered into the OPP with the OP and the Former Advisor, which, under going concern accounting, was accounted for under the guidance for non-employee share-based payments. On December 19, 2016, as part of the arrangements providing for the transition of advisory services from the Former Advisor to Winthrop Advisor, the Company, the Former Advisor, the OP and the ARG Property Manager entered into a letter agreement (the “OPP Side Letter”) which amended the terms of the OPP and accelerated vesting for certain portions of the award thereunder. Due to the OPP Side Letter, the Company accelerated the recording of equity-based compensation expense associated with the awards over the new requisite service period. Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, equity-based compensation expense was adjusted each reporting period for changes in the estimated market-related performance. See Note 14 — Share-Based Compensation.

Income Taxes

The Predecessor qualified as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective for its taxable year ended December 31, 2010 through November 7, 2018, the date of the conversion. In order to qualify for taxation as a REIT, the Predecessor was generally required, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income to the Company’s stockholders. The Predecessor distributed to its stockholders 100% of its REIT taxable income for each of the period January 1, 2018 through November 7, 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes related to such REIT taxable income was recorded on the financial statements. Even though the Predecessor qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

From and after November 8, 2018, the Company will be taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements. All future distributions from the Company will be considered a return of capital for tax purposes. Holder of Units will receive a Schedule K-1 from the Company annually reflecting their allocable share of the Company’s income, loss, gain and deduction.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Predecessor purchased a hotel, which was owned by a subsidiary of the OP and leased to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), that was owned by the OP. The hotel was sold on October 4, 2018, and the TRS was terminated. A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. The TRS was a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Predecessor records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Predecessor believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Predecessor considered all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the Predecessor determined that it would not be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, the Predecessor established a valuation allowance which offset the previously recognized income tax benefit. Deferred income taxes resulted from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the TRS for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The TRS had deferred tax assets and a corresponding valuation allowance of $5.1 million as of December 31, 2016. The TRS had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2016 of $10.8 million, which expired upon the termination of the TRS. The Predecessor estimated income tax relating to its TRS using a combined federal and state rate of approximately 45% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Predecessor had concluded that

72

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2017 AND 2016

it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carry forwards will not be utilized during the carry forward period and as such the Predecessor has established a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. The Predecessor had immaterial current and deferred federal and state income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

As of December 31, 2018, the Predecessor had no material uncertain income tax positions. The tax years subsequent to and including the year ended December 31, 2015 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Predecessor is subject.

Per Share Data

Prior to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, the Company calculated basic loss per share of common stock by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average shares of its common stock outstanding for the respective period. Diluted loss per share took into account the effect of dilutive instruments such as unvested restricted stock, limited partnership interests of the OP entitled “OP units” (“OP units”) or limited partnership units of the OP entitled “LTIP units” (“LTIP units”) (assuming such units were not antidilutive), based on the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that were added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. See Note 17 — Quarterly Results.

Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. The Company’s investments in real estate generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing and management of properties. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company’s investments in real estate at the individual property level.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are applicable under liquidation basis accounting.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

None.

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.

Future increases in

value, if any, from the agreed additional capital investment will be reflected in the statement of net assets when such capital investments are made and such increases in market value can be observed.

Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $460.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The reduction during the year ended December 31, 2018 is primarily due to liquidating distributions to common stockholders totaling $471.8 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 $1.1 million decrease due to a remeasurement of estimated costs. The reduction in net assets was offset by a net increase of $17.1 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza primarily related to the extended estimated hold period.

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $719.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2017. The reduction during the year ended December 31, 2017 is primarily due to liquidating distributions to common stockholders of $515.5 million, a $109.5 million difference between estimated liquidation values and actual sale prices, a $34.7 million decrease due to the revision of estimated liquidation values, a $52.2 million decrease due to the remeasurement of estimated costs, including defeasance costs and a $7.8 million decrease due to the remeasurement of closing costs, debt costs and the revision of holding periods.

The net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2018, presented on an undiscounted basis include the Company’s proportionate share in Worldwide Plaza’s net assets which include a property value at $1.725 billion based on the Company’s sale of its 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza discussed in Note 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 Units outstanding at December 31, 2018. The net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 2018, if sold at their net asset value, would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $22.19 per unit. The net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 2018 of $372.6 million, if sold at their net asset value, plus the cumulative liquidating distributions paid to stockholders of $987.4 million ($58.80 per Common Share) prior to December 31, 2018 would result in cumulative liquidating distributions to stockholders/unitholders of $80.99 per Unit. There is inherent uncertainty with these estimates, 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 estimated cash flows.

Worldwide Plaza Transactions – See Note 7 – Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture for information on Worldwide Plaza transactions during 2017.

Significant Tenant

The following table lists the tenants whose annualized cash rent represented greater than 10% of total annualized cash rent as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, including annualized cash rent related to the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture:

		December 31,
Property Portfolio	Tenant	2018			2017			2016
Worldwide Plaza [1]	Cravath, Swaine & Moore, LLP		46	%		17	%		16	%
Worldwide Plaza [1]	Nomura Holdings America, Inc.		31	%		11	%		11	%

[1] For 2018 and 2017, annualized cash rent reflects the Company’s 50.1% pro rata share of rent generated by Worldwide Plaza.

For 2016, annualized cash rent reflects the Company’s 48.9% of rent generated by Worldwide Plaza.

The termination, delinquency or non-renewal of any of the above tenants may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement Adjustments

As a result of the Board’s adoption in August 2016 of the Liquidation Plan, which was approved by the Predecessor’s stockholders on January 3, 2017, the Predecessor reconsidered its intended holding period for all of its operating properties and evaluated the impact on its ability to recover the carrying value of such properties based on the expected cash flows over its intended holding period. The Predecessor’s estimated future cash flows expected to be generated were based on management’s experience in its real estate market and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions were subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, market capitalization rates, discount rates, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate the property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.

During 2016, as a result of its consideration of impairment, the Predecessor determined that the carrying value of the Viceroy Hotel exceeded its estimated fair value and recognized an impairment charge of $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is presented as impairment loss on real estate investment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 7 – Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On October 30, 2013, the Predecessor purchased a 48.9% equity interest in Worldwide Plaza for a contract purchase price of $220.1 million, based on the property value at that time for Worldwide Plaza of $1.3 billion less $875.0 million of debt on the property.

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

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

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

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

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of income) are based on the financial information of Worldwide Plaza. Under the going concern basis, the Company did not record losses of the joint venture in excess of its investment balance because the Company was not liable for the obligations of the joint venture or was otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture. Under liquidation accounting, equity investments are carried at net realizable value.

Note 9 – Interest Rate Derivatives and Hedging Activities Risk

Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company periodically used 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 Company’s 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 entered into derivative financial instruments with counterparties that the Company believed 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 to be 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 December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Note 10 – Common Stock

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

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 16.8 million Units outstanding. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had 16.8 million Common Shares outstanding, including unvested shares of restricted common stock (“restricted shares”). On January 3, 2017, the Company issued 841,660 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 December 31, 2017, there were no OP units outstanding, other than OP units held by the Company and no vested LTIP units outstanding. See Note 19 – Non-Controlling Interests.

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 2018 and 2017, the Company paid aggregate liquidating distributions equal to $28.10 per share and $30.70 per share, respectively. There can be no assurance as to the actual amount or timing of future liquidating distributions unitholders will receive.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

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

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

Note 12 – Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

Viceroy Hotel

Revenues for related parties at the Viceroy Hotel were $1,000 and $5,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 Company’s 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 entity’s quarterly and annual reports pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.

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

During the year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2018, the Company has accrued asset management fees and compensation reimbursements totaling $1.4 million payable to Winthrop Advisor representing management’s estimate of future asset management fees to final liquidation, provided there is no assurance that the contract will continue to be extended at the same terms, if at all. This amount is included in estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation.

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

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

Former Advisor and its Affiliates    

Prior to March 8, 2017, the Company paid to the Former Advisor an asset management fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the cost of assets up to $3.0 billion and 0.40% per annum of the cost of assets above $3.0 billion.

Prior to March 8, 2017, unless the Company contracted with a third party, the Company paid the ARG Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market based fee equal to a percentage of gross revenues. The Company also reimbursed the ARG Property Manager for property-level expenses. The ARG Property Manager was permitted to subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracted for these services. If the Company contracted directly with third parties for such services, the Company paid them customary market fees and paid the ARG Property Manager an oversight fee equal to 1.0% of the gross revenues of the applicable property.

The Company reimbursed the Former Advisor for costs and expenses paid or incurred prior to March 8, 2017 by the Former Advisor and its affiliates in connection with providing services to the Company (including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved with the performance of such services), although the Company did not reimburse the Former Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Former Advisor received a separate fee.

The following table details amounts incurred and paid by the Company to, and amounts waived by, the Former Advisor and its affiliates in connection with the operations related services described above for the periods presented and any amounts payable to or due from the Former Advisor as of the dates specified:

	Year Ended December 31,

The Former Advisor agreed to waive certain fees, including property management fees, during the year ended December 31, 2016. The fees that were waived were not deferrals and accordingly, were not and will not be paid to the Former Advisor.

In connection with the sale of one or more properties, for which the Former Advisor provided a substantial amount of services as determined by the Company’s independent directors, the Company was required to pay the Former Advisor a property disposition fee not to exceed the lesser of 2.0% of the contract sale price of the property or 50% of the competitive real estate commission paid if a third party broker was also involved; provided, however that in no event could the property disposition fee paid to the Former Advisor when added to real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of 6.0% of the contract sale price and a competitive real estate commission. For purposes of the foregoing, “competitive real estate commission” meant a real estate brokerage commission for the purchase or sale of a property which was reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the property. The Company incurred and paid $0.2 million in property disposition fees to the Former Advisor during the year ended December 31, 2016 related to the sale of certain properties.

Pursuant to an escrow agreement entered into among the Company, the Former Advisor and Chicago Title Insurance Company on December 21, 2016, the Company deposited an amount equal to $0.7 million in an escrow account on December 21, 2016. The amount in the escrow account was used to pay the retention bonuses allocated to each Former Advisor Employee who remained employed by the Former Advisor or its affiliates. No portion of the amount held in escrow was refundable to the Company for any reason other than equitable adjustment to account for any Former Advisor Employees who were no longer employed by the Former Advisor or its affiliates as of the date of a payment. In March 2017, the entire balance of $0.7 million in the escrow account was disbursed.

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

Note 14 – Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Plan

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

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

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

The RSP was terminated upon conversion to the Company.

The following table displays restricted share award activity during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016:

	Number of Restricted Shares			Weighted-Average Issue Price
Unvested, December 31, 2016		26,878			105.00

Under going concern accounting, the Company measured stock-based compensation expense at each reporting date for any changes in the fair value and recognized the expense prorated for the portion of the

requisite service period completed. Accordingly, the Company recognized $0.7 million in non-cash compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under liquidation accounting, compensation expense is no longer recorded as the vesting of the restricted shares does not result in cash outflow for the Company.

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 Company’s market capitalization (the “OPP Cap”). The LTIP Units were 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 Advisor’s 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.

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 on a one-for-one basis into unrestricted shares of the Company’s 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 on a one-for-one basis into unrestricted shares of the Company’s 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 Advisor’s 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 Company’s achievement of certain levels of total return to the Company’s 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 16 – Earnings Per Share

Prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company determined basic earnings per share on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company computed diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect for all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations for the periods presented:

(In thousands, except share and per share data)	December 31, 2016
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to stockholders	$	(82,526	)
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted		16,494,946
Net loss per share attributable to stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(5.00	)

Diluted net loss per share assumes the conversion of all common share equivalents into an equivalent number of common shares, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The Company considers unvested restricted shares, OP units and LTIP units to be common share equivalents. The Company had the following common share equivalents for the periods presented, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to stockholders as the effect would have been anti-dilutive:

	December 31, 2016
Unvested restricted shares		26,878
OP units		84,166
LTIP units		770,784
