SHENGDATECH LIQUIDATING TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The ShengdaTech Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) was formed pursuant to the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) of ShendgaTech, Inc. (the “Debtor” or “Company”). The Plan was confirmed on October 02, 2012 and became effective on October 17, 2012 (the “Effective Date”).

On the Effective Date, the Company automatically transferred to the Trust all of its right, title, and interest in and to all of the Trust Assets (defined to include all assets of the Company, including, without limitation, (i) cash in the Company’s bank account on the Effective Date, (ii) the Company’s equity interests in Faith Bloom Limited (“Faith Bloom”), a company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, (iii) all claims held by the Company against Faith Bloom and Faith Bloom’s subsidiaries (the “PRC Subsidiaries”), (iv) the Company’s interest in certain directors and officers insurance policies, if transferable, and the proceeds thereof, (v) all Claims and causes of action held by the Company and (vi) any other assets of the Company that are recovered by the Trust and the proceeds thereof). The Trust will distribute the proceeds that are obtained from the Trust Assets to the Trust Beneficiaries (defined to include holders of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan), in accordance with the distribution procedures and priorities set forth in the Plan.

Unlike an operating company, the Trust has no officers, directors or employees. Rather, the Trust is administered by the Liquidating Trustee, with consultation from the Liquidating Trust Advisory Board from time to time. The Trust does not engage in the conduct of a trade or business and is restricted from doing so based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Trust also has no shareholders. It does have holders of beneficial interests in the Trust. Such holders include all creditors and former shareholders of the Company.

In accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Plan, the Trust, in its discretion, will pursue the Company’s outstanding litigation in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”); pursue any other litigation (including against the Company’s former officers, directors and auditors); hold and ultimately sell the Company’s shares in Faith Bloom; execute, process and facilitate available distributions to holders of claims (“Claims”) and equity interests (“Equity Interests”) under the Plan; and resolve disputed Claims and Equity Interests. The Trust remains subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court through the term of its existence.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statement of net assets in liquidation at ~~June~~September 30, 2014, which has been derived from unaudited interim financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. The Trust believes all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The changes in net assets for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the changes in net assets that may be expected for the full year.

The Trust believes that, although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, the accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2014.

These financial statements have been prepared based on the liquidation basis of accounting. Accordingly, the Trust is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets at net realizable value and liabilities at anticipated settlement amounts, and the estimated costs of liquidating the assets and distributing the proceeds to holders of beneficial interests. These estimates are subject to change.

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Trust considers all highly liquid ~~investments~~ investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Trust maintains one operating account with a balance in excess of federally insured limits. The balance at ~~June~~September 30, 2014 was entirely held in cash.

TRUST ASSETS

The net assets of the Trust are carried at estimated fair values. The primary assets of the Trust, which were transferred from the Debtor, are cash and shares in Faith Bloom.

Faith Bloom, which is wholly owned, ~~does~~ does not have operations and serves as a holding company and direct parent of the following entities formed under the laws of the PRC: Shandong Haize Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Haize”), Shandong Bangsheng Chemical Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Bangsheng”), Shaanxi Haize Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Haize”), Zibo Jiaze Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. (“Zibo Jiaze”) and Anhui Yuanzhong Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. (“Anhui Yuanzhong,” and together with Shandong Haize, Shandong Bangsheng, Shaanxi Haize, Zibo Jiaze, the “PRC Subsidiaries”). ~~While~~The ~~some~~Trust does not have control of any of the PRC Subsidiaries, other ~~are~~than ~~believed~~Shaanxi toHaize. beThe ~~operating~~Trust ~~entities~~ does not believe that any of the PRC Subsidiaries are actively manufacturing a ~~specialty~~speciality additive known as nano-precipitated calcium carbonate, other than Shaanxi Haize. As noted herein, while the Trust ~~does~~has ~~not~~obtained ~~have~~ control over Shaanxi Haize, there is no guaranty that the ~~PRC~~Trust will maintain control over Shaanxi Haize or that Shaanxi Haize will continue ~~Subsidiaries~~its manufacturing operations.

~~The~~Over the past several years, the Debtor’s and the Trust’s attempts to exercise control over the PRC Subsidiaries have been thwarted by a deliberate and sustained pattern of conduct designed to limit the Trust’s legal and operational control over the PRC Subsidiaries. As a result, the Trust had ~~has~~to ~~pursued~~pursue litigation in China to attempt to obtain legal control over the PRC Subsidiaries as well as to obtain possession of the books and records. With respect to certain of this litigation, as described herein, the Trust has obtained final judgments and is working through its Chinese counsel to enforce those judgments. With respect to the Shaanxi Haize factory, the Trust has successfully enforced its final judgment and taken control of the factory, although there is no guaranty that the Trust will maintain such control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the pending litigation and pending enforcement actions as to the PRC Subsidiaries, since the Chinese authorities currently do not recognize the Company’s or the Trust’s newly appointed legal representatives of the PRC Subsidiaries other than with respect to Shaanxi Haize at this time, the Trust does not have legal or operational control over the PRC Subsidiaries, other than Shaanxi Haize (which control may not be maintained), and is unable to sell or liquidate the related assets. Because of the significant uncertainties associated with estimating the probability and timing of realizing value from the Faith Bloom equity, it is not practical to estimate its fair value.

In addition to the assets described above, the Trust also holds certain contingent asset claims, such as claims against the former directors and officers of the Debtor and claims against former auditors of the Debtor. Because of the significant uncertainties associated with estimating the probability of success with respect to the remaining claims and timing of cash flows related to all such remaining claims, until actual claims are settled or litigated to final judgment, it is not practical to estimate their fair value. There can be no assurance that the Trust will realize any value for such remaining contingent asset claims.

The fair value of Trust Assets is reassessed at least quarterly and adjustments to estimated fair values are reflected in the period in which they become known.

OTHER LIQUIDATION LIABILITEIS

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reflected at their estimated settlement amounts which, in the opinion of the Trust, approximate their fair value.

ESTIMATED COSTS TO COMPLETE LIQUIDATION AND LITIGATION

The estimated costs to complete liquidation and litigation represent the estimated cash costs of operating the Trust through ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2014~~2015. These costs, which include ~~litigation~~ litigation costs, professional fees, and other related costs, are estimated based on various assumptions. Given that there is inherent uncertainty in the estimation process, actual results could be materially different.

INCOME TAXES

The Trust is treated as a grantor trust and not a corporation. Accordingly, any income or loss of the Trust will not be taxable to the Trust but will be taxable to the holders of beneficial interests in the Trust, as if such holders had themselves realized the income or loss from their pro rata interest in the Trust Assets.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Management of the Trust has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values. Given there is inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the amounts actually realized or settled could be materially different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

As of ~~August~~November 14, 2014, the Financial ~~Accounting~~ Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued up to ASU 2014-1215, which are not expected to have a material impact on the ~~consolidated~~ consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Trust maintains a majority of its ~~cash~~ cash balance in a single operating account in the United States in excess of federally insured limits. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2014, the cash balance was $2,~~949~~768,~~291~~227. Of this balance, $2,~~870~~689,~~923~~860 was generally available cash held in the United States and $78,367 was held by Faith Bloom in accounts in the PRC over which Faith Bloom and the Trust have control.

3. PROFESSIONAL RETAINERS

The Trust has retained a number of professional services firms to assist with its duties and obligations. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2014, two of these professional services firms kept ~~retainers~~ retainers pursuant to their engagement letters totaling $256,000. These retainers will either be used to offset future professional ~~fees~~ fees and expenses or will be returned to the Trust.

4. OTHER TRUST ASSETS

The net assets of the Trust are carried at estimated fair values. As of ~~June~~September 30, ~~3014~~2014, the Trust had collected the settlement claim receivable and the ~~net~~next cash proceeds is in now reflected in the Trust’s cash balance. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2014 the Trust did not have other potential settlements where a specific settlement amount could be reasonably estimated.

The Trust also holds 100% of the ~~equity~~ equity in Faith Bloom. Faith Bloom, which is wholly owned, does not have operations and serves as a holding company and direct parent of the PRC Subsidiaries. While ~~some~~ ofShaanxi ~~the~~Haize ~~PRC~~is ~~Subsidiaries~~presently ~~are~~an ~~believed to be~~ operating ~~entities~~entity manufacturing a specialty additive known as nano-~~precipitated~~ precipatated calcium ~~carbonate~~carbonite, the Trust does not have control over the other PRC Subsidiaries and does not believe that they have active manufacturing operations.

~~The~~Over ~~Debtor~~the past several years, the Debtor’s and the Trust’s attempts to exercise control over the PRC Subsidiaries have been thwarted by a deliberate and sustained pattern of conduct designed to limit the Trust’s legal and operational control over the PRC Subsidiaries. ~~The~~As a result, the Trust had ~~has~~to ~~pending~~pursue litigation in China to attempt to obtain legal control over the ~~subsidiaries~~PRC Subsidiaries as well as to obtain possession of the books and records. ~~Since~~With respect to certain of this litigation, as described herein, the Trust has obtained final judgments and is working through its Chinese ~~authorities~~counsel to enforce those judgments. With respect to the Shaanxi Haize factory, the Trust has successfully enforced its final judgment and taken control of the factory, although there is no guaranty that the Trust will maintain such control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the pending litigation and pending enforcement actions as to the PRC Subsidiaries, since the Chinese authorities currently do not recognize the Company’s or the Trust’s ~~legitimate~~newly ~~status~~appointed as legal representatives of the PRC Subsidiaries other than with respect to Shaanxi Haize at this time, the Trust does not have legal or operational control over the PRC Subsidiaries, other than Shaanxi Haize (which control may not be maintained), and is unable to sell or liquidate the ~~related~~ related assets. Because of the significant uncertainties associated with estimating the probability and timing of realizing value ~~from~~ from the Faith Bloom equity, it is not practical to estimate its fair value.

5. PAYABLES AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

The Trust had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $~~241~~549,~~872~~337 at ~~June~~September 30, 2014 that consist primarily of incurred but unpaid professional fees and expenses.

6. ESTIMATED COSTS TO COMPLETE LIQUIDATION AND LITIGATION

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2014, the estimate of costs to complete the liquidation of the Trust Assets is $1,~~032~~745,~~489~~979 and such amount represents the estimated costs of operating ~~the~~ the Trust through ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2014~~2015. These costs, which include litigation costs, professional fees, and other related costs, are ~~estimated~~ estimated based on various assumptions. Given that there is inherent uncertainty in the estimation process, actual results could be materially different.

7. DISTRIBUTIONS

The Trust has not made any distributions since its inception on October 17, 2012.

8. CASH RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

On the Effective Date, the Trust received cash in the amount of $4,928,564 (which excludes the $78,367 held by Faith Bloom). On June 9, 2014, the Trust received $2,750,000 in proceeds related to the settlement with KPMG.

Conversely, between October 17, 2012 (inception) and ~~June~~September 30, 2014, the Trust paid out $4,~~807~~988,~~640~~704 to various Trust creditors, including $3,~~757~~938,~~162~~226 for Trust operating expenses and $1,050,478 for final fee applications of professionals retained in the Debtor’s Chapter 11 case and other opening Trust liabilities.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Alvarez & Marsal North American LLP (“A&M”) serves as financial advisor to the Trust. Michael Kang, the Liquidating Trustee, is a Managing Director at A&M. From Inception through ~~June~~September 30, 2014, A&M has been paid $569,435 and has estimated unpaid fees and expenses of of $50193,~~000,~~723 which is included in payables and accrued liabilities.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has considered all events occurring through the date the financial statements have been issued, and has determined that there are no such events that are material to the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Overview of Trust

The Trust was established pursuant to the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Plan”), dated as of August 30, 2012, of ShengdaTech, Inc. (“SDTH” or the “Debtor”), which was confirmed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. The Trust became effective on October 17, 2012, the Plan’s effective date (the “Effective Date”). Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined will have those meanings set forth in the Plan.

The Trust is created on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries, with an initial term of three years, subject to extension with approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and is intended to qualify as a “liquidating trust” for federal income tax purposes. The Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries are the holders of claims and equity interests under the Plan. The beneficial interests in the Trust (the “Trust Interests”) are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law.

The Plan provides that the Trust will wind-down the Debtor’s affairs and make periodic and final distributions of the proceeds of the Liquidating Trust Assets in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As set forth in the Plan, the Liquidating Trust Assets include all of the assets of the Debtor, including, without limitation, (i) cash in the Debtor’s bank account on the Effective Date, (ii) the Debtor’s equity interests in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Faith Bloom Limited (“Faith Bloom”), (iii) all claims held by the Debtor against Faith Bloom and Faith Bloom’s subsidiaries, Shandong Haize Nanomaterials Co., Ltd., Shandong Bangsheng Chemical Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Haize Nanomaterials Co., Ltd., Zibo Jiaze Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. and Anhui Yuanzhong Nanomaterials Co., Ltd (the “PRC Subsidiaries”), (iv) the Debtor’s interest in certain directors and officers insurance policies, if transferable, and the proceeds thereof, (v) all claims and causes of action held by the Debtor, and (vi) any other assets of the Debtor that are recovered by the Trust and the proceeds thereof.

Subsequent to the end of our fiscal quarter, on November 3, 2014, with the assistance of the Intermediate People’s Court of Xianyang, Shaanxi Province and the local police, the Trust through Faith Bloom took physical control over the manufacturing facilities operated by Shaanxi Haize. There is no certainty that the Trust will maintain control over the facility or to what extent operations are continuing or will continue at the facility. See Part II, Item 1 – “Legal Proceedings” for a full description of this matter.

The Plan establishes, among other things, that the Trust will pursue litigation against the PRC Subsidiaries and prosecute certain other causes of action, hold and ultimately sell Faith Bloom’s shares in the PRC Subsidiaries, pursue any objections to claims or equity interests, execute the provisions governing distributions to holders of allowed claims or allowed equity interests and facilitate the process for resolving disputed claims or disputed equity interests filed against the Debtor.

Discussion and Analysis

Reference is made to the Financial Statements of the Trust as of ~~June~~September 30, 2014 and for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ending ~~June~~September 30, 2014 and ~~June~~ September 30, 2013 and the related notes thereto (the “Trust Financial Statements”), which are attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following information concerning the Trust’s financial performance and condition should be read in conjunction with the Trust Financial Statements.

This discussion and analysis of the Trust’s net assets in liquidation and changes in net assets in liquidation are based upon the Trust Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting. During preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the Trust is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets at estimated fair value, the reported liquidation liabilities, the estimated liquidating costs, the resolution of current and potential litigation and the fair value of and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Trust evaluates and updates its estimates and assumptions. The Trust bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Trust believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The basis for making judgments about the fair value of assets and liquidation liabilities is not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Comparison of three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014 and 2013

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014, the Trust incurred costs of $1488,~~187,006~~528 versus $~~670~~179,~~083~~913 during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2013. The increase in overall costs incurred is due primarily to the payment of fees related to ~~collection~~on ofgoing awork ~~litigation~~to ~~settlement.~~recover trust assets. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014, net assets in liquidation ~~did~~decreased ~~not~~by ~~change~~$1,202,019 and ended the period at $1728,~~930,930~~ 911 compared towith athe ~~decline in~~three ~~net~~months ~~assets~~ended inSeptember ~~liquidation of $188~~30,~~834~~ ~~during~~2013 ~~the~~when ~~three~~net ~~months~~assets ~~ended~~in ~~June~~liquidation ~~30,~~showed ~~2013~~no ~~with~~change anand ~~ending~~ended ~~balance~~the ofperiod $at 148,805.

During the three ~~month~~ month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014 and ~~June~~September 30, 2013, the Trust made payments on costs to complete the liquidation and did not make any distributions to holders of Trust Interests. ~~During the three month period ended June 30, 2014 the Trust collected a claim settlement receivable in the amount of $2,750,000.~~

Comparison of ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014 and 2013

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014, the Trust incurred costs of $1,~~280~~769,~~628~~156 versus $1,~~379~~559,~~439~~352 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to its shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in its consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to it or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with it.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values. Given that there is inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the amounts actually realized or settled could be materially different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Trustee (who is our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of ~~June~~September 30, 2014, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure ~~controls~~ controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2014 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s ~~interim~~ interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud-related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.

ii)

We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.

Our management feels the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the near term, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.

Our management team will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2014 that have ~~materially~~ materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control ~~system~~ system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

ShengdaTech Liquidating Trust v. Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. (“Hansen”), Baker Tilly International Limited (“Baker Tilly”), KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG Int’l”), and KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) (collectively, the “Auditor Defendants”).

On August 15, 2013, the Trust, through its counsel Grant & Eisenhofer P.A., filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against the Auditor Defendants as an adversary proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada arising out of the Auditor Defendants’ audits and reviews of the Company’s financial statements from 2007 through 2010. In its Complaint, the Trust asserts claims for professional negligence and malpractice against all of the Auditor Defendants and breach of contract and fraudulent transfer against Hansen. The Complaint seeks judgment awarding (i) compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial, (ii) prejudgment interest at the maximum allowable rate, (iii) disgorgement of all fees the Auditor Defendants received in connection with the subject audit and reviews, and (iv) costs of the suit including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and disbursements. Since filing the complaint, Baker Tilly has been dismissed as a defendant.

On September 18, 2013, Defendants KPMG Int’l and KPMG filed a joint motion for withdrawal of the reference (“Motion to Withdraw”) on the grounds, among others, that this case purportedly invokes non-core claims. On November 25, 2013, the Court granted the motion to withdraw and the case was transferred to the Nevada district court (the “Nevada District Court”).

On October 22, 2013, the Auditor Defendants filed separate motions to dismiss the Complaint claiming that it is deficient as a matter of law.

On January 7, 2014, the Trust and KPMG HK, KPMG and KPMG Int’l (collectively, the “KPMG Parties”) engaged in mediation proceedings which resulted in a settlement in principle (the “Settlement”) between the Trust and the KPMG Parties. As of February 28, 2014, the Trust and the KPMG Parties entered into a “Settlement Agreement and Release Agreement” (the “Settlement Agreement”) documenting the terms of the Settlement. Under the provision of the Settlement Agreement, KPMG HK will pay the Trust $2,750,000 in exchange for a release of the Trust’s claims against the KPMG Parties. The Settlement Agreement was subject to approval of the Nevada District Court under Rule 9019 of the Bankruptcy Code and the entry of a bar order (“Bar Order”) consistent with the Nevada state bar order provisions. On or around March 15, 2014, the parties filed a joint motion (the “Joint Motion”) to approve the Settlement Agreement and enter the Bar Order. On May 22, 2014, the Court entered an order granting the Joint Motion, approving the settlement, entering the Bar Order and dismissing the KPMG Parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement, on or around June 9, 2014, KPMG HK paid the Liquidating Trust $2.75 million.

On May 28, 2014, the Trust filed an Amended Complaint substantively identical to the Complaint. On June 16, 2014, Hansen filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Hansen’s motion to dismiss avers that the Trust’s claims are barred by the doctrine of in pari delicto, statutes of limitation and Nevada’s comparative negligence statute. On July 3, 2014, the Trust filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss and on July 14, Hansen filed its reply in support. ~~There~~On ~~has~~September ~~been~~9, ~~neither~~2014, athe ~~ruling~~Court ~~nor~~granted aHansen’s ~~date~~motion ~~set~~to dismiss the Amended Motion without prejudice as to the Trust’s claims for professional negligence, malpractice and breach of contract.
