Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
     On April 27, 2010, Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”) determined, and Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“E&Y”) agreed, that certain items contained in the previously filed consolidated statement of cash flows set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 that was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2010 (the “2009 Form 10-K”) required adjustment. As a result of these adjustments, net cash used in operating activities improved by $10.2 million, net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $10.7 million, and net cash used in financing activities improved by $0.5 million.
     The adjustments have no impact on the net increase in cash for the year ended December 31, 2009 or the cash balance as of December 31, 2009. In addition, these adjustments have no impact to the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, or the consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of shareowners’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The authorized officers of the Company discussed with E&Y the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
     The Company intends to file today, April 30, 2010, an amendment on Form 10-K/A to its 2009 Form 10-K to amend its financial statements therein to reflect the aforementioned adjustments.
