Discontinued Operations

On February 23, 2016, the Trust sold, through subsidiaries which owned such interests, its equity interests in RBH - TRB Newark Holdings, LLC (the "Newark Joint Venture"), to RBH Partners III, LLC, for $16,900,000 (the "NJV Sale"). The buyer is an affiliate of the Trust's former partners in the Newark Joint Venture. The Trust recognized a gain of $15,467,000 in connection with this sale. In addition, the Trust (i) may be paid up to an additional $900,000 by the newly formed parent of the Newark Joint Venture (“Holdco”) upon the achievement of specified investment returns, development of certain properties, realization of specified cost savings and any one or more of the foregoing and (ii) has been granted a nominal profit participation interest in Holdco. None of these amounts will be recognized until received.
Other than the agreement of the Trust's subsidiary to provide an indemnity with respect to up to $2,800,000 of obligations related to the venture, neither the Trust nor its subsidiaries have any guaranty, indemnity or similar obligations with respect to the Newark Joint Venture.
As a result of the NJV Sale, the mortgage debt in principal amount of $19,500,000 (the “NJV Debt”) owed to the Trust by this venture (which was not included on the Trust's consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015 as such debt and the interest that had accrued thereon was eliminated in consolidation), is reflected as a real estate loan on the balance sheet at June 30, 2016. The NJV Debt is secured by various contiguous parcels on Market Street (between University Avenue and Washington Street) in Newark, NJ. The site is approximately 68,000 square feet and has approximately 303,000 square feet of rentable space. The NJV Debt matures in June 2017 and bears an annual interest rate of 11%. Six percent (6%) is to be paid on a monthly basis ("Current Interest") and five percent (5%) is deferred (the"Deferred Interest"). Prior to the June 3, 2016 agreement described below, Deferred Interest was to be paid in June 2016 and at maturity in June 2017. At June 30, 2016, the amount of Deferred Interest that has been recognized is $2,212,000.

Effective as of June 3, 2016, the Trust entered into an agreement with the Newark Joint Venture pursuant to which the Trust agreed, among other things, (i) to defer, until September 30, 2016, the payment of the Deferred Interest owed at June 30, 2016, (ii) subject to the Trust's receipt of $750,000 of Deferred Interest, to release certain of the mortgages securing the NJV Debt in connection with the repayment (the "Repayment"), if any, of all or a portion of such debt on or before September 30, 2016, and (iii) in the event a Repayment occurs before September 30, 2016, to defer the payment of any remaining Deferred Interest until the June 2017 maturity of the NJV Debt.
