1)	Formation and Description of Business

Formation

Woodbridge Liquidation Trust (the “Trust”) was established (i) for the purpose of collecting, administering, distributing and liquidating the Trust assets for the benefit of the Trust beneficiaries in accordance with the Liquidation Trust Agreement of the Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) and the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its Affiliated Debtors dated August 22, 2018 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Plan”); (ii) to resolve disputed claims asserted against the Debtors, as defined in the Plan; (iii) to litigate and/or settle causes of action (“Causes of Action”); and (iv) to pay certain allowed claims and statutory fees, as required by the Plan. Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and its affiliated debtors are individually referred to herein as a Debtor and collectively as the Debtors. The Trust was formed on February 15, 2019 (the “Plan Effective Date”) as a statutory trust under Delaware law.

On the Plan Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan, (a) the following assets automatically vested in the Trust: (i) an aggregate $5,000,000 in cash from the Debtors for the purpose of funding the Trust’s initial expenses of operation; (ii) certain claims and Causes of Action; (iii) all of the outstanding equity interests of the Wind-Down Entity (as defined below); and (iv) certain other non-real estate related assets, (b) the equity interests of Woodbridge Group of Companies, LLC and Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund 1, LLC (together, the “Remaining Debtors”) were cancelled and new equity interests representing all of the newly issued and outstanding equity interests in the Remaining Debtors were issued to the Trust, (c) all of the other Debtors other than the Remaining Debtors were dissolved and (d) the real estate-related assets of the Debtors were automatically vested in the Trust’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Woodbridge Wind-Down Entity LLC (the “Wind-Down Entity”) or one of the Wind-Down Entity’s 43 wholly-owned single member LLCs (the “Wind-Down Subsidiaries”) formed to own the respective real estate assets. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “the Company”.

As further discussed in Note 10, the Trust has two classes of “Liquidation Trust Interests”: Class A Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Class A Interests”) and Class B Liquidation Trust Interests (the “Class B Interests”). The holders of Class A Interests and Class B Interests are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Interestholders” or “All Interestholders”.

On December 24, 2019, the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form 10 became effective under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The trading symbol for the Trust’s Class A Interests is WBQNL. Bid and ask prices for the Trust’s Class A Interests are quoted on the OTC Link ATS, the SEC-registered alternative trading system. The Class A Interests are eligible for the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (“DRS”) services. The Class B Interests are not registered with the SEC.

Description of Business

The Trust is prosecuting various Causes of Action acquired by the Trust pursuant to the Plan and is resolving claims asserted against the Debtors. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is the plaintiff in several pending lawsuits (see Note 13 for additional information). The Trust is also liquidating its Forfeited Assets (see Note 7 for additional information).

As of December 31, 2021, the Wind-Down Entity owns three luxury single-family homes that are under construction in the Los Angeles, California area. The majority of the gross carrying value of the Wind-Down Entity’s real estate assets held for sale is concentrated in these three single-family homes. In addition, construction is being completed on two other single-family homes that have been sold. The Wind-Down Entity is also liquidating its remaining five other real estate assets. See Note 3 for additional information.

The Company is required to liquidate its assets and distribute available cash to the Trust beneficiaries. The liquidation activities are carried out by the Trust, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2021, the Company estimates that the liquidation activities will be completed by February 15, 2024.

As discussed and defined in Note 2, the Company uses the Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The Trust currently operates as one reportable segment comprised primarily of real estate assets held for sale.

Woodbridge Liquidation Trust and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited)

Net assets in liquidation represent the remaining estimated aggregate value available to Trust beneficiaries upon liquidation, with no discount for the timing of proceeds (undiscounted). Due to the unpredictability of real estate selling prices, the impact of the COVID-19 virus (see below), as well as the uncertainty in the timing of liquidation of the real estate and other assets, net liquidation proceeds, other recoveries and actual liquidation costs may differ materially from the estimated amounts.

The Trust’s expectations about the amount of any additional distributions and when they will be paid are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on certain estimates and assumptions, one or more of which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual amount of any additional distributions may differ materially, perhaps in adverse ways, from the Trust estimates. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the timing of any additional distributions and any such distributions may not be made within the timing referenced in the consolidated financial statements.

No assurance can be given that total distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets in liquidation presented in the consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation.

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, three of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries’ construction sites were closed for about three months during the summer of 2020. One construction site was closed for about two weeks in late December 2020. The continued spread of COVID-19 presents challenges for the Company and its vendors, mainly due to labor and product supply shortages. The Company continues to observe health and safety guidelines, including allowing its employees to work remotely. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on its activities, including the cost of construction, the timing of completion of the single-family homes that are under construction, the time needed to market and sell the single-family homes, and the price at which these single-family homes will be sold.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak will depend on many factors, some of which cannot be foreseen, including the duration, severity, and geographic concentrations of the pandemic and any resurgence of the disease.

2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. These consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 205-30, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Liquidation Basis of Accounting.” The June 30, 2021 consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures or notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and for the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are revised in the period that available information supports a change in the carrying amount.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, all assets are recorded at their estimated net realizable value or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of net cash that will be received upon the disposition of the assets (on an undiscounted basis). The measurement of real estate assets held for sale is based on the terms of current contracts (if any), estimates and other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs. To determine the value of real estate assets held for sale, the Company considered the three traditional approaches to value (cost, income and sales comparison) commonly used by the real estate appraisal community. The applicability and relevancy of each valuation approach as applied may differ by asset. In most cases, the sales comparison approach was accorded the greatest weight. This approach compares a property to other properties with similar characteristics that have recently sold. To validate management’s estimate, the Company also considers opinions from qualified real estate professionals and local real estate brokers and, in some cases, obtained third party appraisals. The estimated selling costs range from 5.0% to 6.0% of the property sales price.

(Unaudited)

Liabilities, including estimated costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan, are measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. The Company has also recorded the estimated development costs to be incurred to prepare the assets for sale as well as the estimated holding costs to be incurred until the projected sale date and the estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company. When estimating development costs, the Company considered third party construction contracts and estimates of costs to complete based on construction status, progress and projected completion timing. Estimated development costs also include the costs of design and furnishings necessary to prepare and stage the homes for marketing. Holding cost estimates consider property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other costs to be incurred until the sale of the property is closed. Projected general and administrative cost estimates take into account operating costs through the completion of the liquidation of the Company.

These estimated amounts are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation. All changes in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s real estate held for sale, or other assets and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

The Company does not record any amount from the future settlement of unresolved Causes of Action or recoveries from Fair Fund or Forfeited Assets (including those that may be settled, but subject to court or other regulatory agency approval) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since they cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount recovered may be material to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the estimated net realizable values, liquidation costs and the estimated date of the completion of the liquidation of the Company and records any significant changes. The Company will also revalue an asset when it is under contract for sale and the buyer’s contingencies have been removed. During the period when this occurs, the carrying value of the asset and the estimated closing and other costs will be adjusted, if necessary. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is approved. The change in value may include the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.

Other Assets

The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action when an agreement has been executed and collectability is reasonably assured. An allowance for uncollectible settlement installment receivables is recorded when there is doubt about the collectability of the receivable. Insurance claims are recognized when the insurance company accepts the claim or if a claim is pending and the recoverable amount can be estimated. The Company records escrow receivables at the amount that is expected to be received when the escrow receivable is released. The Forfeited Assets (Note 7) received from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), other than cash, have been recorded at their estimated net realizable value. In addition, the Company recognizes other amounts to be received based on contractual terms or when the amounts to be received are certain.

Accrued Liquidation Costs

The Company accrues for estimated liquidation costs to the extent they are reasonably determinable. These costs consist of (a) estimated development costs of the single-family homes under development, other project related costs, architectural and engineering, project management, city fees, bond payments (net of refunds), furnishings, marketing and other costs; (b) estimated holding costs, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities and other; and (c) estimated general and administrative costs including payroll, legal and other professional fees, trustee and board fees, rent and other office related expenses, interest on financing and other general and administrative costs to operate the Company.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term investments that have a maturity date of ninety days or less at the time of investment to be a cash equivalent. The Company’s cash equivalents include money market savings deposits and money market funds.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash that can only be used for certain specified purposes.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. At times, balances in any one financial institution may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in high-credit quality financial institutions. In addition, the Company uses strategies to reduce deposit balances at any one financial institution consistent with FDIC insurance limits.

Income Taxes

The Trust is intended to be treated as a grantor trust for income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal or state income tax on any income earned or gain recognized by the Trust. The Trust’s beneficiaries will be treated as the owner of a pro rata portion of each asset, including cash and each liability received by and held by the Trust. Each beneficiary will be required to report on his or her federal and state income tax return his or her pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Trust. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal or state income taxes recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company regularly analyzes its various federal and state filing positions and only recognizes the income tax effect in the consolidated financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provision for uncertain income tax positions has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

7)	Forfeited Assets - Restricted for Qualifying Victims

The Trust entered into a resolution agreement with the DOJ which provided that the Trust would receive the assets forfeited by Robert and Jeri Shapiro (the “Forfeited Assets”). In March 2021, the Trust received certain Forfeited Assets from the DOJ, including cash, wine, jewelry, handbags, clothing, shoes, art, gold and other assets. The wine and a portion of the gold were sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

The agreement also provided for the Trust to liquidate the Forfeited Assets and to distribute the net sale proceeds to Qualifying Victims. Qualifying Victims include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries (specifically, all former holders of allowed Class 3 and 5 claims and their permitted assigns), but do not include former holders of Class 4 claims. Distributions to Qualifying Victims are to be allocated pro-rata based on their net allowed claims without considering the (i) 5% enhancement for contributing their causes of action or (ii) 72.5% Class 5 coefficient.

9)	Credit Agreement

On June 19, 2020, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Wind-Down Entity entered into a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “LOC”) with a financial institution. The LOC had an original maturity of June 19, 2022. The LOC requires the borrowers to establish an interest reserve of $1,750,000 (Note 4), which is to be used to pay the potential monthly interest payments. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum. Indebtedness under the LOC was secured by a deed of trust on one property, the personal property associated therewith and the interest reserve. The Wind-Down Entity is the guarantor of the LOC. The Company is required to keep a cash balance of $20,000,000 on deposit with the lender in order to avoid a non-compliance fee of 2% of the shortfall in the required deposit and is required to comply with various covenants.

The property that was collateral for the LOC was sold in December 2020. The LOC agreement provides that the borrower had 60 days after the sale of the collateral to add borrower(s) and additional property(ies) as collateral. During the 60-day period, the available borrowings under the LOC were reduced to $100,000. On February 11, 2021, the LOC was amended. Two additional wholly owned subsidiaries of the Wind-Down Entity were joined to the LOC as co-borrowers and two properties were added as replacement collateral as allowed for in the original agreement. As a result of this amendment, the available borrowing commitment was adjusted back up to $25,000,000. The maturity date of the LOC was changed to January 31, 2023 with an option to extend for one additional year, subject to the availability of collateral. There were no other significant changes to the LOC.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the LOC. No amounts were outstanding under the LOC as of December 31, 2021 or June 30, 2021.

11)	Distributions

The Plan provides for a distribution waterfall that specifies the priority and manner of distribution of available cash, excluding distributions of the net sales proceeds from Forfeited Assets. Distributions are to be made (a) to the Class A Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class A Interest; thereafter (b) to the Class B Interests until they have received distributions of $75.00 per Class B Interest; thereafter (c) to each Liquidation Trust Interest (whether a Class A or Class B Interest) until the aggregate of all distributions made pursuant to this clause equals an amount equivalent to interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10%, compounded annually, accrued on the aggregate principal amount of all Net Note Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Net Unit Claims, all as defined in the Plan, treating each distribution pursuant to (a) and (b) above as reductions of such principal amount; and thereafter (d) to the holders of Allowed Subordinated Claims, as defined in the Plan, until such claims are paid in full, including interest, at a per annum fixed rate of 10% or such higher rate as may be agreed to, as provided for in the Plan, compounded annually, accrued on the principal amount of each Allowed Subordinated Claim.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, one distribution in the amount of approximately $40,017,000 was declared on October 8, 2021 which represented $3.44 per Class A Interest. The distribution included (i) a cash distribution on account of then-allowed claims in the amount of approximately $39,134,000, which was paid on October 29, 2021 and (ii) a deposit of approximately $883,000 into a restricted cash account, which was made on October 28, 2021, for amounts, (a) payable for Class A Interests that may be issued in the future upon the allowance of unresolved claims; (b) in respect of Class A Interests issued on account of recently allowed claims; (c) for holders of Class A Interests who failed to cash distribution checks mailed in respect of prior distributions; (d) for distributions that were withheld due to pending avoidance actions; and (e) for holders of Class A Interests for which the Trust is waiting for further beneficiary information.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, one distribution was declared. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, two distributions were declared. A distribution in the amount of approximately $29,957,000 was declared on October 19, 2020 which represented $2.56 per Class A Interest.

A distribution in the amount of approximately $29,934,000 was declared on July 13, 2020 which represented $2.56 per Class A Interest.

13)	Causes of Action

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded the following amounts from the settlement of Causes of Action ($ in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended December 31,				For the Six Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

Comerica Bank	$	24,815	$	-	$	24,815	$	-
Other settlement recoveries		429		585		1,400		7,165
Total	$	25,244	$	585	$	26,215	$	7,165

On August 6, 2021, the Trust agreed to settle two pending actions against Comerica Bank. The terms of the settlement reached in a putative class action against Comerica Bank in the United States Court for the Central District of California (the “District Court”) are the subject of a Settlement Agreement among the plaintiffs, Comerica Bank, and the Trust (the “Settlement Agreement”).

The Settlement Agreement resolved two actions. One of the actions, captioned In re Woodbridge Investments Litigation, Case No.2:18-cv-00103-DMG-MRW (C.D. Cal.), is a consolidated putative class action in the District Court brought on behalf of former noteholders and unitholders of the Debtors (the “California Class Action”). The California Class Action is comprised of five separate lawsuits filed between January 4, 2018 and April 26, 2018 and, as consolidated, asserted claims for aiding and abetting fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and violations of California’s unfair competition law. The Trust is the largest member of the putative class in the California Class Action, as holder of approximately 60.9% of all claims against Comerica Bank based on the claims contributed to the Trust by former investors of the Debtors.

The other action resolved by the settlement, captioned Michael I. Goldberg as trustee for the Woodbridge Liquidation Trust v. Comerica Bank, Adv. Pro. No. 20-ap-50452-BLS (Bankr. D. Del.), is an adversary proceeding pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, in which the Trust asserted claims against Comerica Bank for fraudulent transfers under the California Civil Code (the “Delaware Adversary Action”). The Delaware Adversary Action also incorporates the claims asserted against Comerica Bank in the California Class Action to the extent that such claims may ultimately be determined to belong to the Debtors’ estates rather than the individual former noteholders and unitholders.

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the California Class Action has been settled as a class action, subject to District Court approval, on the basis of a class defined to consist of (i) the Trust and (ii) the holders of Net Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) (the “Non-Contributing Claimants”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Comerica Bank has agreed to pay (including through its insurers) an aggregate of $54.5 million, consisting of $54.2 million to settle the California Class Action (Class Payment) and $0.3 million to settle the Delaware Adversary Action (the “FT Payment”). The Class Payment was intended to provide recoveries to members of the plaintiff class and to fund, in amounts to be determined by the District Court, the legal fees of plaintiffs’ counsel in the California Class Action, totaling 25% of the California Class Action settlement payment, the costs of administering the settlement, and certain incentive awards for class representatives. Under the Settlement Agreement, Comerica Bank (and certain related parties) is required to be released from all claims advanced, or that could have been advanced, related to the facts alleged in the California Class Action or the Delaware Adversary Action.

For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited)

The settlement amount is to be paid within ten business days of the Settlement Effective Date (as defined in the Settlement Agreement). The Net Class Consideration (defined in the Settlement Agreement as the Class Payment minus Court-awarded attorneys’ fees and costs) is required to be distributed to class members as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, resulting in a distribution to the Trust of approximately 60.9% of the Net Class Consideration (corresponding to the Trust’s holding of approximately 60.9% of all claims against Comerica based on the claims contributed to the Trust by former investors of the Debtors). No costs of administration or incentive award will be deducted from the Trust’s share of the Net Class Consideration. The Trust has agreed not to opt out of the settlement with respect to these claims. The FT Payment is required to be distributed to the Trust. The FT Payment is not subject to reduction for any reason, including attorneys’ fees, costs of administration, or incentive awards.

On September 3, 2021, the District Court entered an order granting preliminary approval to the settlement of the California Class Action. The District Court granted final approval on December 17, 2021.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a receivable of approximately $24,815,000 from the settlement of the two pending actions against Comerica Bank, the California Class Action and the Delaware Adversary Action. The calculation of the amount to be received by the Trust is as follows ($ in thousands):

Class Payment	$	54,200
Less:
Court-approved legal fees		(13,550	)
Court-approved litigation costs		(410	)
Net Class Consideration		40,240
Less- amount payable to Non-Contributing Claimants (approximately 39.1%), net of approximately $125 of court-approved notice and administrative costs and incentive awards for class representatives		(15,725	)
Trust’s portion of Net Class Consideration		24,515
FT Payment payable to the Trust		300
Trust receivable at December 31, 2021	$	24,815

The Settlement Agreement provides for the Trust to serve as administrator of the settlement. In that capacity, the Trust will receive the full settlement amount from the defendant (or its insurers), and, from such amount, pay the court-approved legal fees and litigation costs to plaintiffs’ class counsel, court-approved incentive awards for class representatives, and costs relating to notice and administration of the settlement. In addition, in its role as administrator of the settlement, the Trust is to pay to the Non-Contributing Claimants their portion of the settlement, constituting approximately 39.1% of the Net Class Consideration, less incentive awards and costs of notice and administration. See Note 15 for additional information.

14)	Commitments and Contingencies

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had construction contracts under which an aggregate of approximately $6,100,000 was unpaid.

The Company had a lease for its office space that expired on August 31, 2021. The Company had one three-month option to extend the lease. On June 4, 2021, the Company opted not to extend its existing lease and entered into a new office lease at a different location. The new lease is for the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. The annual rent is approximately $43,000 plus common area maintenance charges. The Company has two six-month options to extend the lease. The Company paid approximately $55,000 relating to prepaid rent, common area maintenance charges and a security deposit for the new lease during the year ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $1,000 and $79,000, respectively, and during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $51,000 and $145,000, respectively were paid as rent, including common area maintenance and parking charges.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of changes in net assets and net assets in liquidation should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Woodbridge Liquidation Trust and the related notes thereto. The Trust, the Remaining Debtors, the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries, as used herein, are defined in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and are collectively referred to herein as “the Company”.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include, without limitation, financial guidance, and projections and statements with respect to expectation of future financial condition, changes in net assets in liquidation, cash flows, plans, targets, goals, objectives and performance of the Trust. Such forward-looking statements also include statements that are preceded by, followed by, or that include the words “believes”, “estimates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “is anticipated”, “will continue”, “project”, “outlook”, “evaluate”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should” and similar expressions, and all other statements that are not historical facts. All such forward-looking statements are based on the Trust’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the amount of sales proceeds, timing of sales of real estate assets, timing and amount of funds needed to complete construction of single-family homes, amount of general and administrative costs, the number and amount of successful litigation and/or settlements and the ability to recover thereon, the amount of funding required to continue litigation, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rates, adverse weather conditions in the regions in which properties to be sold are located, economic and political conditions, changes in tax and other governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Trust and its subsidiaries and other risks and uncertainties identified in Part I. Financial Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or contained in any of the Trust’s subsequent filings with the SEC including in Part II. Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Trust to control, and in many cases, the Trust cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act, the Trust has identified and is disclosing important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by the Trust, or on the Trust’s behalf. (See “Part II. Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.) These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of the Trust’s subsequent filings with the SEC. Because of these factors, risks and uncertainties, the Trust cautions against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Trust believes that the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements are currently reasonable, any of the assumptions could be incorrect or incomplete, and there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as may be required by law, the Trust does not undertake any obligations to modify, update or revise any forward-looking statement to take into account or otherwise reflect subsequent events, corrections in or revisions of underlying assumptions, or changes in circumstances arising after the date that the forward-looking statement was made.

Overview

Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust was formed on February 15, 2019 to hold, either directly or indirectly through the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries, the assets and equity interests formerly owned by the Debtors. Each of the real properties formerly owned by the Debtors was, as of February 15, 2019, owned by one of the Wind-Down Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries is to develop (as applicable), market and sell those properties to generate cash. Assets formerly owned by the Debtors other than real estate assets and certain cash were transferred to the Trust. The purpose of the Trust is to receive remittances of cash from the Wind-Down Entity, to resolve disputed claims, to prosecute the Causes of Action, to pay allowed administrative and priority claims, as defined in the Plan, and, subject to the payment of Trust expenses and the retention of various reserves, to make distributions of cash to Interestholders in accordance with the Plan.

The Trust operates pursuant to the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The Trust was formed as a Delaware statutory trust and is administered by the Liquidation Trustee under the supervision of its Supervisory Board. The Wind-Down Entity, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, operates pursuant to the Plan and the Wind-Down Entity LLC Agreement. The Wind-Down Entity was formed as a Delaware limited liability company and is administered by its Board of Managers, one of which is the chief executive officer. One member of the Board of Managers is also a member of the Supervisory Board of the Trust.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Bankruptcy Court has retained certain jurisdictions regarding the Trust, the Liquidation Trustee, the Supervisory Board, the Wind-Down Entity, the Board of Managers, and assets of the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity, including the determination of all disputes arising out of or related to administration of the Trust and the Wind-Down Entity and its subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2021, the number of Liquidation Trust Interests outstanding in each class is as follows:

Class of Interest	Number Outstanding

Class A Liquidation Trust Interests	11,511,765

Class B Liquidation Trust Interests	675,617

For each of the classes of Liquidation Trust Interests, the number of Liquidation Trust Interests outstanding will increase to the extent that the disputed claims become allowed claims. In addition, the number of Liquidation Trust Interests outstanding will decrease to the extent that disputed claims are settled by cancelling previously issued Liquidation Trust Interests.

Since the Plan Effective Date through December 31, 2021, the Wind-Down Subsidiaries have disposed of approximately 142 properties for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $481.01 million. During the period from January 1, 2022 through February 10, 2022, the Wind-Down Subsidiaries settled one secured loan and realized net proceeds of approximately $0.72 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned eight real estate assets (including three single-family homes under construction) with a gross carrying value of approximately $90.78 million. Therefore, the amount of net proceeds from the sale of real estate assets in the future will be significantly less than the amount realized from the Plan Effective Date through December 31, 2021. The Company expects to complete the liquidation of its assets during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary sources for meeting its capital requirements are its cash and cash equivalents, availability under the LOC, proceeds from the sale of its real estate assets and recoveries from Causes of Action, including the Comerica Bank settlement, and general and administrative costs, all of which the Company expects to be able to adequately fund over the next twelve months from its primary sources of capital.

Capital Resources

In addition to consolidated cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 of approximately $63.12 million (of which approximately $9.12 million is restricted), the capital resources available to the Company and its uses of liquidity are as follows:

•

Revolving Line of Credit: On June 19, 2020, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Wind-Down Entity entered into a $25.00 million LOC. On February 11, 2021, the LOC was amended. Two additional wholly owned subsidiaries of the Wind-Down Entity were joined to the LOC as co-borrowers and two properties were added as replacement collateral. The maturity date of the LOC was changed to January 31, 2023 with an option to extend for one additional year, subject to the availability of collateral. The LOC required the borrowers to establish an interest reserve of $1.75 million, which is to be used to pay the potential monthly interest payments. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum. Indebtedness under LOC is secured by a deed of trust on two properties, the personal property associated therewith and the interest reserve. The Wind-Down Entity is the guarantor of the LOC. The Company is required to keep a cash balance of $20.00 million on deposit with the lender in order to avoid a non-compliance fee of 2% of the shortfall in the required deposit and is required to comply with various covenants. No amounts were outstanding under the LOC as of December 31, 2021 or February 10, 2022.

Sales of Real Estate Assets: The Wind-Down Entity and the Wind-Down Subsidiaries are in the process of developing, marketing and selling their real estate assets, all of which are held for sale. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned a total of eight real estate assets with a gross carrying value of approximately $90.78 million. Five single-family homes were under construction, one that was sold in December 2021 and on that was sold in May 2021. Therefore, it is unlikely that the net proceeds for the three or six months ended December 31, 2021 will be indicative of future net proceeds, which may be significantly lower. In addition, it may take longer to sell the properties than the Company has estimated.

•

Recoveries: During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $24.24 and $26.21 million, respectively, from the settlement of Causes of Action. The recoveries include approximately $24.81 million from Comerica Bank. There can be no assurance that the amounts the Company recovers from settling Causes of Action in the future will be consistent with the amount recovered during the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.

Uses of Liquidity

The primary uses of the Company’s liquidity are to pay (a) distributions payable, (b) development costs, (c) holding costs, and (d) general and administrative costs. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s total liabilities were approximately $51.84 million. The total liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2021 may not be indicative of the costs paid in future periods, which may be significantly higher.

Given current cash and cash equivalent balances, projected sales of real estate assets, availability under the LOC, Causes of Action recoveries (including the Comerica Bank settlement) , distributions declared and expected cash needs, the Company does not expect a deficiency in liquidity in the next twelve months. Due to the uncertain nature of future net sales proceeds, recoveries and costs to be incurred, it is not possible to be certain that the current liquidity will be adequate to cover all future financial needs of the Company. Creating contingent obligation agreements and/or seeking methods to reduce professional costs, including legal fees, and administrative costs are strategies that could be undertaken to address liquidity issues should they arise. These strategies could impact the Company’s ability to maximize recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action.

Distributions

Distributions will be made at the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. As of February 10, 2022, the Liquidation Trustee has declared nine distributions to the Class A Interestholders. The distributions are paid on account of the then-allowed claims and a deposit is made into a restricted cash account for amounts (a) payable for Class A Interests that may be issued in the future upon the allowance of unresolved claims, (b) in respect of Class A Interests on account of recently allowed claims, (c) for holders of Class A Interests who failed to cash distribution checks mailed in respect of prior distributions, (d) for distributions that were withheld due to pending avoidance actions and (e) for holders of Class A Interests for which the Trust is waiting for further beneficiary information.

Sections 7.6 and 7.18 of the Plan provide that distributions that have not been cashed within 180 calendar days of their issuance shall be null and void and the holder of the associated Liquidation Trust Interests “shall be deemed to have forfeited its rights to any reserved and future Distributions under the Plan,” with such amounts to become “Available Cash” of the Trust for all purposes. On February 1, 2022, the Trust sent letters to the holders of the Class A Interests who have failed to cash distribution checks in respect of prior distributions, which checks were issued more than 180 days ago. The letter informed the holders that, unless such holders contact the Trust no later than February 28, 2022, then, in accordance with the Plan, the holders’ reserved and future distributions will be deemed forfeited. The Trust provided this final notice simply as a one-time courtesy and reserves its rights to strictly enforce the Plan’s forfeiture provisions, and any other provision of the Plan, against any person (including any recipient of the final notice) at any time in the future, without further notice.

(b)	As a result of claims being disallowed or Class A Interests cancelled.

(c)	Distribution checks returned or not cashed.

(d)	Paid as claims are allowed or resolved.

As claims are resolved, additional Class A Interests may be issued or cancelled (see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 27, 2021, “Part 1, Item 1. Business, D. Plan Provisions Regarding the Company, 2. Treatment under the Plan of holders of claims against and equity interests in the Debtors and 3. Assets and liabilities of the Company”). Therefore, the total amount of a distribution declared may change between the date declared and the date paid. The Liquidation Trustee will continue to assess the adequacy of funds held and expects to make additional cash distributions on account of Class A Interests, but does not currently know the timing or amount of any such distribution(s).

Management believes that, since its inception, the Wind-Down Entity has made substantial progress toward completion of its liquidation activities and is nearing the end of the liquidation of its real estate portfolio. Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests are advised that future distributions from the Trust will be limited. Once the Company’s remaining real property assets have been liquidated and the net proceeds resulting therefrom, net of reserves, have been distributed, further distribution(s) will be materially reliant on future recoveries from litigation, which are uncertain and the amount and timing of which are difficult to determine.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has contractual commitments related to construction contracts totaling approximately $6.10 million. The Company expects to complete the construction of the single-family homes during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The Company has an office lease that expires in July 2022. The Company has two six-month options to extend the lease. The Company expects that it will continue to lease office space until the liquidation process is completed.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies and practices that the Company believes are the most critical are discussed below. These accounting policies and practices require management to make decisions on subjective and/or complex matters that may inherently be uncertain. Estimates are required to prepare the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, the sales price of real estate assets, selling costs, development costs, holding costs and general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company. In many instances, changes in the accounting estimates are likely to occur from period to period. Actual results may differ from the estimates. The Company believes the current assumptions and other considerations used in preparing the consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Valuation of Real Estate

The measurement of real estate assets held for sale is based on the terms of current contracts (if any), estimates and other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs. To determine the value of real estate assets held for sale, the Company considered the three traditional approaches to value (cost, income and sales comparison) commonly used by the real estate appraisal community. The applicability and relevancy of each valuation approach as applied may differ by asset. In most cases, the sales comparison approach was accorded the greatest weight. This approach compares a property to other properties with similar characteristics that have recently sold. To validate management’s estimate, the Company also considers opinions from qualified real estate professionals and local real estate brokers and, in some cases, obtained third party appraisals.

Accrued Liquidation Costs

The estimated costs associated with implementing and completing the Company’s plan of liquidation are recorded as accrued liquidation costs. The Company has also recorded the estimated development costs to be incurred to prepare the assets for sale as well as the estimated holding costs to be incurred until the projected sale date and the estimated general and administrative costs to be incurred until the completion of the liquidation of the Company.

Changes in Carrying Value

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the estimated net realizable values, liquidation costs and the estimated date of the completion of the liquidation of the Company and records any significant changes. The Company will also evaluate an asset when it is under contract for sale and the buyer’s contingencies have been removed. During the period that this occurs, the carrying value of the asset and the estimated closing and other costs will be adjusted, if necessary. If the Company has a change in its plan for the disposition of an asset, the carrying value will be adjusted to reflect this change in the period that the change is approved. The change in value may also include a change to the accrued liquidation costs related to the asset.

All changes in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s assets, real estate held for sale, or other assets and liabilities are reflected as a change to the Company’s net assets in liquidation.

Causes of Action

The Company does not record any amount from the future settlement of unresolved Causes of Action or recoveries from Fair Fund or Forfeited Assets (including those that may be settled, but subject to court or other regulatory agency approval) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since they cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company recognizes recoveries from the settlement of unresolved Causes of Action when an agreement has been executed and collectability is reasonably assured.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management and the Liquidation Trustee evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, management and the Liquidation Trustee concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Liquidation Trustee, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In connection with the preparation of our Form 10-Q, our management and the Liquidation Trustee assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on its assessment, our management and the Liquidation Trustee believes that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings (KTBS to Update)

Below is a description of pending litigation. As the Company is the plaintiff in these legal proceedings and does not have the ability to estimate the ultimate recovery amount until they are settled, and in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, no recoveries have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for these legal proceedings, other than for settlements for which the Trust has entered into a signed settlement agreement.

Goldberg v. Halloran & Sage LLP, et al., Case No. 19STCV42900 (Cal. Super. Ct., L.A. Cnty., filed Dec. 2, 2019), is an action by the Trust against nine law firms (Halloran & Sage LLP; Balcomb & Green, P.C.; Rome McGuigan, P.C.; Haight Brown & Bonesteel LLP; Bailey Cavalieri LLC; Sidley Austin LLP; Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP; Robinson & Cole LLP; and Finn Dixon & Herling LLP) and ten individual attorneys (Richard Roberts, Lawrence R.

Lee Terry, Jr., Shant Chalian, and Reed Balmer) for conduct in connection with their representation of Robert Shapiro, the Debtors or their affiliates before the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, as well as against up to 100 “Doe” defendants. The conduct challenged in the complaint includes knowingly and/or negligently preparing loan documents and investment agreements with material misstatements and omissions, designing deceptive securities products, preparing incorrect legal opinion memoranda on which investors relied, and assisting in the creation of nominally third-party borrower entities that were in fact controlled by Robert Shapiro.

These defendants are alleged to be liable for damages in an amount believed to be in excess of $5 million, as well as for provisional remedies, avoidance of the transfers, and punitive damages.

The case was designated as a complex matter on December 18, 2019, and was assigned to the Honorable Amy Hogue.

On March 20, 2020, two sets of defendants – Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan; and Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and S. Lee Terry, Jr. – filed special motions to strike the portions of the complaint directed at them under a California statute (Civil Procedure Code section 425.16) that permits defendants to bring early challenges to causes of action against them that allegedly arise from protected litigation activity if those causes of action lack minimal merit. The defendants that filed these special motions to strike asserted that the claims against them arise from communicative conduct in the course of quasi-judicial proceedings, such as regulatory inquiries, and that the Trust cannot establish a likelihood of prevailing on its claims against them. The Trust opposed these motions, and the matters were heard on July 28, 2020, and taken under submission on that date. On August 14, 2020, the Court entered orders: (i) granting the motion to strike filed by Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan, and (ii) granting in part and denying in part the motion to strike filed by Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and S. Lee Terry, Jr. In September 2020, the Trust filed notices of appeal of the foregoing orders, and Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP and S. Lee Terry, Jr. subsequently filed a cross-appeal. On January 27, 2021, the Court entered an order granting, in part, a motion for attorneys’ fees filed by Sidley Austin LLP and Neal Sullivan, pursuant to which the movants were awarded $282,500.00 in fees and $5,557.87 in costs. On March 1, 2021, the Trustee filed a notice of appeal of the order granting fees and costs.

On April 13, 2020, four sets of defendants – Rome McGuigan, P.C. and Brian Courtney; Bailey Cavalieri LLC and Thomas Geyer; Robinson & Cole LLP and Shant Chalian; and Finn Dixon & Herling LLP and Reed Balmer – filed motions to quash the service of summonses. The defendants that filed these motions asserted that they are not subject to suit in California because they do not have sufficient contacts with California to justify a California court’s exercise of jurisdiction over them. The Trust opposed these motions, and the matters were heard in part on July 15, 2020 and in part on July 20, 2020, and (with exception of the motion filed by Finn Dixon & Herling LLP and Reed Balmer) were taken under submission on July 20, 2020. The motion filed by Finn Dixon & Herling LLP and Reed Balmer was taken off calendar prior to July 20, 2020, and the parties thereafter reached a confidential settlement. On July 21, 2020, the Court entered orders granting the motions to quash filed by Rome McGuigan, P.C. and Brian Courtney; Bailey Cavalieri LLC and Thomas Geyer; and Robinson & Cole LLP and Shant Chalian. On September 10, 2020, the Trust filed a notice of appeal of the foregoing orders.

Table of Contents

On June 16, 2020, the Trust reached a confidential settlement with Balcomb & Green, P.C. and Lawrence R. Green. On July 6, 2020, these defendants filed a motion seeking the Court’s determination that the settlement was made in good faith under a California statute (Civil Procedure Code section 877.6) that permits settling defendants to seek a good faith settlement finding in order to bar any other defendant from seeking contribution or indemnity. The motion was unopposed, and the Court entered an order granting it on August 12, 2020.

On January 21, 2021, the Trust reached a confidential settlement with Robinson & Cole LLP and Shant Chalian. As part of that settlement, the appeal of the jurisdictional ruling as to those parties has been dismissed. The other appeals remain pending. On June 14, 2021, the Trustee filed a combined opening brief for all of the appeals other than his appeal of the order granting fees and costs to Sidley Austin LLP. Between September 22-29, 2021, the respondents filed their opening briefs.

On October 28, 2020, the Trust filed a federal lawsuit against four defendants that prevailed on the motions to quash service of summons in the California state court action (Rome McGuigan, P.C.; Brian Courtney; Bailey Cavalieri LLC; and Thomas Geyer), as well as a fifth defendant (Ivan Acevedo), and certain “Doe” defendants.” The case is styled Goldberg v. Rome McGuigan, P.C., et al., Case No. 2:20-cv-09958-JFW-SK (C.D. Cal.). The complaint contains counts for (i) violations of section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5; (i) aiding and abetting fraud; (iii) aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty; (iv) negligent misrepresentation; (v) professional negligence; (vi) aiding and abetting conversion; (vii) actual fraudulent transfer; and (viii) constructive fraudulent transfer. The conduct challenged in the complaint includes certain of the same conduct challenged in the California state court action, and a footnote in the complaint explains: “Plaintiff filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court against [four of these defendants] raising some of the claims asserted in this action. Those defendants filed a motion to quash service, alleging that the court did not have personal jurisdiction. The Court granted those motions, and Plaintiff appealed. Plaintiff brings this action to preserve his rights and ensure that his claims against [the defendants] are adjudicated on the merits. Should the state court appeal be successful, resulting in two cases being simultaneously litigated on the merits in two forums, [plaintiff] will consider dismissing this action and litigating the case in state court.” On January 4, 2021, the four defendants from the California state court action filed motions to dismiss this federal lawsuit, and on March 4, 2021, the court entered an order granting those motions in part by dismissing the first count (arising under the federal securities laws), without ruling on the remaining counts (arising under state law) in light of potential personal jurisdiction issues. On March 29, 2021, the same four defendants again moved to dismiss the remaining counts for lack of personal jurisdiction. On April 23, 2021 the federal court entered an order granting those motions, but has not yet entered a final judgment.

Comerica Bank litigation. On August 6, 2021, the Trust agreed to the terms of a settlement of two actions against Comerica Bank. The terms of the settlement, reached following negotiations with Comerica Bank and the plaintiffs in a putative class action against Comerica Bank in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “District Court”), are the subject of a Settlement Agreement among the plaintiffs, Comerica Bank, and the Trust (“Comerica Settlement Agreement”). Comerica Bank is the institution at which the Debtors maintained all of their bank accounts, and these actions arise out of the Debtors’ former banking relationships with Comerica Bank. The Comerica Settlement Agreement is referenced hereto as Exhibit 10.16.

The Comerica Settlement Agreement resolves two actions. One of the actions, captioned In re Woodbridge Investments Litigation, Case No. 2:18-cv-00103-DMG-MRW (C.D. Cal.), was a consolidated putative class action in District Court brought on behalf of former noteholders and unitholders of the Debtors (the “California Class Action”). The California Class Action was comprised of five separate lawsuits filed between January 4, 2018 and April 26, 2018 and, as consolidated, asserted claims for aiding and abetting fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and violations of California’s unfair competition law. The Trust believes that it is the largest member of the putative class in the California Class Action, as holder of approximately 60.9% of all claims against Comerica based on the claims contributed to the Trust by former investors of the Debtors.

The other action resolved by the settlement, captioned Michael I. Goldberg as trustee for the Woodbridge Liquidation Trust v. Comerica Bank, Adv. Pro. No. 20-ap-50452-BLS (Bankr. D. Del.), is an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court, in which the Trust asserted claims against Comerica Bank for fraudulent transfers under the California Civil Code the (the “Delaware Adversary Action”). The Delaware Adversary Action also incorporated the claims asserted against Comerica Bank in the California Class Action to the extent that such claims may ultimately be determined to belong to the Debtors’ estates rather than to individual former noteholders and unitholders.

Under the terms of the Comerica Settlement Agreement, the California Class Action has been settled as a class action on the basis of a class defined to consist of (i) the Trust, as assignee of the claims of the holders of Net Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) in Class 3 (Standard Note Claims, as defined in the Plan) and Class 5 (Unit Claims, as defined in the Plan) of the Plan who are Contributing Claimants (as defined in the Plan) and (ii) the holders of Net Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) in Class 3 (Standard Note Claims, as defined in the Plan) and Class 5 (Unit Claims, as defined in the Plan) of the Plan who are not Contributing Claimants (as defined in the Plan). For purposes of distributions under the Settlement Agreement, the holders of Net Claims who are not Contributing Claimants are deemed to be the holders of such Net Claims as of February 15, 2019.

Under the Comerica Settlement Agreement, Comerica Bank agreed to pay (including through its insurers) an aggregate of $54.5 million, consisting of $54.2 million to settle the California Class Action (the “Class Payment”) and $300,000 to settle the Delaware Adversary Action (the “FT Payment”). The Class Payment was intended to provide recoveries to members of the plaintiff class and to fund, in amounts to be determined by the District Court, the legal fees of plaintiffs’ counsel in the California Class Action, not to exceed 25% of the California Class Action settlement payment, the costs of administering the settlement, and certain incentive award for the class representatives. Under the Comerica Settlement Agreement, Comerica Bank (and certain related parties) has been released from all claims advanced, or that could have been advanced, related to the facts alleged in the California Class Action or the Delaware Adversary Action.

The settlement amount was required to be paid within ten business days of the Settlement Effective Date (as defined in the Comerica Settlement Agreement), and was paid, in its entirety, between January 19, 2022 and January 27, 2022.

On December 17, 2021, the court entered an order granting final approval to the settlement of the California Class Action, and the “Effective Date” of the settlement occurred on or about January 20, 2022. Since that time, the settlement payment has been paid by Comerica Bank (or its insurers) and the Trust has commenced administration of that payment. The Trust has recorded approximately $24.81 million from the settlement, comprised of (i) the Trust’s share (approximately 60.9%) of the Net Class Consideration (without reduction for costs of administration or incentive awards) and (ii) the $300,000 FT Payment (without reduction for any reason).

Avoidance actions. The Trust is currently prosecuting numerous legal actions to recover preferential payments, fraudulent transfers, and other funds subject to recovery by the bankruptcy estate. These actions were filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), are pending before the Honorable J. Kate Stickles, and generally fall into the following categories:

•

Preferential transfers. Certain of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, and seek to avoid or recover payments made by the Debtors during the 90 days prior to the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing, including payments to miscellaneous vendors and former Noteholders and Unitholders.

•

Fraudulent transfers (Interest to Noteholders and Unitholders). Certain of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, and seek to avoid or recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for interest paid to former Noteholders and Unitholders.

•

Fraudulent transfers (Shapiro personal expenses). Certain of the actions include claims arising under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, and seek to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for the personal expenses of Robert and Jeri Shapiro, including those identified in a forensic report prepared in connection with an SEC enforcement action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The Trust has filed over 400 legal actions of this nature, many of which have been resolved, resulting in recoveries by or judgments in favor of the Trust. Since inception and as of January 31, 2022, the Trust has obtained judgments of approximately $15.6 million and has entered into settlements in approximately 210 legal actions and approximately 245 potential avoidance claims for which litigation was not filed, resulting in an aggregate of approximately $16.78 million of cash payments made or due to the Trust and approximately $9.98 million in reductions of claims against the Trust.

Other legal proceedings. In addition, other legal proceedings are being prosecuted by the Trust and United States governmental authorities, which actions may result in recoveries in favor of the Trust. Such actions currently include:

•

Fraudulent transfers and fraud (against former agents). These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law governing fraudulent transfers, seek to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for commissions to former agents, as well as for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, and the unlicensed sale of securities asserted by the Trust based on claims contributed to the Trust by defrauded investors. These actions were filed by the Trust in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware between November 15, 2019 and December 4, 2019. Actions of this type are also being pursued by the SEC, and it is the Trust’s understanding that any recoveries obtained by the SEC will be transmitted to the Trust pursuant to a Fair Fund established by the SEC.

•

Actions regarding the Shapiro’s personal assets. On December 4, 2019, the Trust filed an action in the Bankruptcy Court, Adv. Pro. No. 10-51076 (BLS), Woodbridge Liquidation Trust v. Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro, 3X a Charm, LLC, Carbondale Basalt Owners, LLC, Davana Sherman Oaks Owners, LLC, In Trend Staging, LLC, Midland Loop Enterprises, LLC, Schwartz Media Buying Company, LLC and Stover Real Estate Partners LLC. In this action, the Trust asserts claims under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law for avoidance of preferential and fraudulent transfers together with claims for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, the unlicensed sale of securities, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The Trust seeks to recover damages and assets held in the names of Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro and their family members and entities owned or controlled by them, which assets the Trust contends are beneficially owned by the Debtors or for which the Debtors are entitled to recover based on the Shapiros’ defalcations, including over $20 million in avoidable transfers.

•

Criminal proceeding and forfeiture. In connection with the United States’ criminal case against Robert Shapiro (Case No. No. 19-20178-CR-ALTONAGA (S.D. Fla. 2019)), Shapiro agreed to the forfeiture of certain assets. The Trust filed a petition in the Florida court to claim the Forfeited Assets as property of the Debtors’ estates, and therefore as property that had vested in the Trust pursuant to the Plan. The Trust has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Justice to resolve its claim. The agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on September 17, 2020 and was approved by the United States District Court on October 1, 2020. Among other things, the agreement provides for the release of specified Forfeited Assets by the United States to the Trust, and for the Trust to liquidate those assets and distribute the net sale proceeds to Qualifying Victims, which include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries—specifically, all former holders of Class 3 and 5 claims under the Plan and their permitted assigns—but do not include former holders of Class 4 claims under the Plan. The Trust has taken possession of the Forfeited Assets and has sold the wine and gold assets.

Wind-Down Group litigation. The Wind-Down Group owns a portfolio of real estate assets, which includes secured loans and other properties. As part of its recovery efforts, the Wind-Down Group, through its subsidiaries, is involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to such assets. Among other litigation, certain Woodbridge entities (including the Trust, the Wind-Down Entity, and WB 8607 Honoapiilani, LLC) filed an action against Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that the defendant insurer breached its obligations under an insurance policy purchased to protect a property owned by WB 8607 Honoapiilani (a subsidiary of the Wind-Down Entity) in Hawaii, which property was destroyed by fire in August 2017. The Superior Court granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment, and on March 25, 2021 entered judgment in favor of the defendant. The judgment provided that plaintiffs take nothing by way of the complaint. Further, the judgment provided that defendant refund plaintiffs for the premium payments under the insurance policy at issue in the lawsuit ($110,829.43), less all amounts paid by the defendant in respect of claims under the policy ($97,770.38) and less defendant’s costs (defendant has requested costs of $9,874.71). Plaintiffs have appealed the judgment.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

As the Company’s real estate portfolio is further liquidated, further distributions to Interestholders will become increasingly dependent on recoveries from the Causes of Action, the amount and timing of which cannot be determined with certainty. Holders of Liquidation Trust Interests are reminded that the sources of distributions from the Company are limited, and result principally from real estate assets liquidated and Causes of Action successfully prosecuted by the Company. Since inception, the Company has made substantial progress toward completion of its liquidation activities and management believes that the Company is nearing the end of the liquidation of its real estate portfolio. Once the Company’s remaining real property assets have been liquidated and the net proceeds of those assets, net of reserves, have been distributed, further distributions will be materially reliant on future recoveries from the Unresolved Causes of Action. Recoveries from the Unresolved Causes of Action depend in substantial part on the successful outcome of litigation, which is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, the amount and timing of such recoveries will be very difficult to determine.

For other risk factors, please see Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021 or contained in any of the Trust’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In accordance with the Plan, all Liquidation Trust Interests have been issued without registration under the Securities Act. The Liquidation Trust Interests have been issued only to holders of allowed claims in Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 under the Plan entirely in exchange for such claims. See “Item 1. Business - D. Plan Provisions Regarding the Company - 2. Treatment under the Plan of holders of claims against and equity interests in the Debtors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 27, 2021. During the period from February 15, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Trust has issued an aggregate of 11,534,607 Class A Interests and an aggregate of 677,624 Class B Interests. As of December 31, 2021, the Trust had 11,511,765 Class A Interests and 675,617 Class B Interests outstanding. All Liquidation Trust Interests were issued on the Plan Effective Date or from time to time thereafter as soon as practicable as and when claims in Class 3, Class 4 or Class 5 have become allowed.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Trust did not issue any Liquidation Trust Interests.

The issuance of Liquidation Trust Interests has occurred in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1145(a)(1) exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws and regulation if (i) the securities are offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and are securities of the debtor, of an affiliate of the debtor participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a successor to the debtor under the plan; (ii) the recipients of the securities hold a pre-petition or administrative claim against the debtor or an interest in the debtor; and (iii) the securities are issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor, or principally in such exchange and partly for cash or property. The Trust believes that the Liquidation Trust Interests are securities of a “successor” to the Debtors within the meaning of Section 1145(a)(1), and such securities were issued under the Plan entirely in exchange for allowed claims in Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 under the Plan.
