Unaudited Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation and Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. At September 30, 2017, the Company reported unaudited total assets in liquidation, total liabilities in liquidation, and net assets in liquidation of $14.0 million, $2.6 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Liabilities in liquidation at September 30, 2017 included $1.4 million for accrued liquidation costs not yet incurred but to be incurred through the completion of the liquidation process.

Plan of Dissolution. The Company at this time cannot predict with certainty the amount or timing of any liquidating distributions to our shareholders or the completion of the liquidation process, primarily due to the Company's inability to predict with certainty the timing of the receipt of cash with respect to its $8.1 million recorded receivable related to the investment in the defaulted repurchase agreement purchased through Pennant Management, Inc. In addition, the Company is pursuing litigation and other claims which may result in cash recoveries. However, the Company at this time cannot predict with certainty the probability of success, nor the amount or timing of a cash recovery, if successful.
