**Hechinger
      Liquidation Trust**


**Notes
      to Unaudited Financial Statements**





**1.**  **Background
      and Basis of Presentation**





**Background**





Hechinger
      Liquidation Trust (the “Liquidation Trust”) was established effective
      October 26, 2001 (the “Effective Date”) in accordance with the Revised
      First Amended Consolidated Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) for Hechinger
      Investment Company of Delaware, Inc. and affiliates (the “Debtors”), confirmed
      by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
“Bankruptcy Court”) by an order dated October 5, 2001.





The
      Liquidation Trust has no authority to engage in any trade or business. The
      purpose of the Liquidation Trust is to (i) liquidate any and all remaining
      assets of the Debtors; (ii) pursue causes of action assigned to the
      Liquidation Trust, including preference, fraudulent conveyance and other
      avoidance actions; (iii) resolve, either consensually or through litigation,
      all
      disputed claims asserted against the Debtors (“Disputed Claims”), pursuant to
      the Plan; and (iv) make all distributions required under the Plan
      (“Distributions”), and payments to holders of claims allowed under the terms of
      the Plan (“Allowed Claims” and, together with the Disputed Claims, the
“Claims”). The Liquidation Trust will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the
      fulfillment of its purpose by the liquidation of all of its assets and the
      distribution of the proceeds of the liquidation thereof in accordance with
      the
      Plan, or (b) by October 26, 2008, unless the Bankruptcy Court approves
      a further extension of the term.





Pursuant
      to the Bankruptcy Code, certain types of Allowed Claims will be paid in full
      under the Plan. Such Claims are therefore referred to as “Unimpaired Claims.”
The Plan defines which types of Claims are paid in full.





The
      Liquidation Trust exists primarily for the benefit of the majority of claimants
      who will not be repaid in full for the amounts the Debtors owed them as of
      the
      bankruptcy filing. These Claims are referred to as “Impaired Claims” because the
      rights of the claimants have been impaired by the Debtors’ bankruptcy. Each
      holder of an Allowed Claim in the Plan’s Class 4A (Senior Unsecured
      Claims), Class 4B (General Unsecured Claims), and Class 5
      (Subordinated Debentures Claims) (each a “Class”) is deemed to hold a pro rata
      beneficial interest (the “Beneficial Interests”) in the Liquidation Trust based
      upon the amount of their Allowed Impaired Claim as compared to the total amount
      of all Impaired Claims ultimately Allowed. When and to the extent Disputed
      Impaired Claims become Allowed Impaired Claims, holders of such Claims become
      holders of Beneficial Interests in accordance with the Plan.





The
      holders of Beneficial Interests receive all remaining net proceeds of the
      Liquidation Trust, if any, after the expenses and all creditors of the
      Liquidation Trust are paid, including Allowed Unimpaired and Convenience Claims
      (certain small Claims paid at 7.5% of their Allowed amounts in accordance with
      the Plan), and after all contingencies are resolved. Holders of each Class
      of
      Beneficial Interests (i.e., each Class of Impaired Claims) have the same rights,
      except with respect to payment of Distributions.





Through
      December 31, 2007, the Liquidation Trust has authorized cumulative Distributions
      to holders of Beneficial Interests (i.e., to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims)
      of 10.2911% of the Allowed amount of the Impaired Claims, and established a
      reserve of 10.2911% of the estimated amount of Disputed Impaired Claims, based
      on the estimated amount of such Claims approved by the Bankruptcy Court for
      reserve purposes (the “Disputed Impaired Claims Reserve”).

**Basis
      of Presentation**





The
      Liquidation Trust’s financial statements have been prepared using the
      liquidation basis of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the Statements
      of Net Assets in Liquidation reflect all assets and liabilities, including
      the
      projected total cost of liquidating the assets and winding down the affairs
      of
      the Liquidation Trust, at estimated fair value. Unimpaired Claims, to be paid
      in
      full, are reflected in the Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation as
      liabilities at estimated aggregate settlement amounts. The unpaid amount of
      the
      authorized Distributions to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims is also reflected
      as a liability. In addition, liabilities include loss contingency accruals
      for
      losses considered probable and estimable, if any. The Statements of Changes
      in
      Net Assets in Liquidation primarily reflect authorized Distributions to holders
      of Beneficial Interests and changes in the estimated fair value of the
      Liquidation Trust’s assets and liabilities, including changes resulting from
      significant events in, or the resolution of, litigation pursued by the
      Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trust’s fiscal year ends on
      September 30.





The
      accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
      only of normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Liquidation
      Trustee, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
      presented. Such financial statements and these notes thereto should be read
      in
      conjunction with the audited Liquidation Trust financial statements as of
      September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, and for the fiscal years ended
      September 30, 2007, September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, and the
      notes thereto.





The
      amounts shown in this document are rounded and are therefore approximate.
      Certain insignificant amounts in the three months ended December 31, 2006 have
      been reclassified to conform with their presentation for the three months ended
      December 31, 2007.





**2.** **Significant
          Accounting Policies**





**Use
      of Estimates**





The
      preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles requires the Liquidation Trustee to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results are likely
      to
      differ from those estimates and those differences may be significant.





**Cash
      and Cash Equivalents**





The
      Liquidation Trust considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
      maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Liquidation Trust
      holds substantially all cash balances in operating and investment accounts
      in
      excess of federally insured limits. Cash is classified as: Designated as
      Available for Distribution to Holders of Impaired Claims, Reserved Cash and
      Other Cash (see Note 3).





**Taxes**





The
      Liquidation Trust is intended to qualify as a liquidating trust for federal
      income tax purposes, and therefore should be taxable as a grantor trust. The
      holders of Beneficial Interests are treated as grantors; accordingly, their
      pro
      rata share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit is included
      in the income tax returns of the holders of Beneficial Interests.





The
      Liquidation Trust pays applicable taxes on the taxable net income and gain
      allocable to holders of Disputed Impaired Claims on behalf of such holders.
      When
      such Disputed Claims are ultimately resolved, holders whose Disputed Claims
      were
      determined to be Allowed Claims receive Distributions from the Liquidation
      Trust
      net of taxes, if any, which the Liquidation Trust previously paid on their
      behalf.





The
      Liquidation Trust incurs no taxable income or gain on its own behalf; therefore,
      no tax provision is recorded in the financial statements of the Liquidation
      Trust.

**3.**  **Cash
      and Cash Equivalents**





Cash
      is
      invested in highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less,
      and in accordance with Section 345 of the Bankruptcy Code or as otherwise
      permitted by order of the Bankruptcy Court. Under the terms of the Plan, the
      Liquidation Trust is not required to segregate funds for reserves (see Note
      9).





Cash
      Designated as Available for Distribution to Holders of Impaired
      Claims (“Available Cash”) is designated solely to assure the availability of funds for
      payment to holders of Impaired Claims who have not received their Distributions
      (see Notes 7 and 10).





Available
      Cash consists of:

Reserved
      Cash is held
      by the Liquidation Trust to assure payment of the Liquidation Trust’s
      obligations in accordance with the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, Reserved
      Cash is intended to provide for (a) operating expenses of the Liquidation
      Trust, (b) estimated payments to holders of Allowed Unimpaired and
      Convenience Claims in accordance with the Plan, and (c) payments which may
      become necessary if and as Disputed Unimpaired Claims become Allowed, or if
      certain specific contingencies should occur. See Note 9 for details of specific
      reserves and their related amounts.




Other
      Cash is cash
      and cash equivalents not designated to a specific reserve or fund.





**4.**  **Preference
      Receivables**





The
      Liquidation Trust’s preference receivables are reflected in the accompanying
      Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation at their estimated fair value, net
      of
      estimated costs of recovery. As of December 31, 2007 and September 30,
      2007, preference receivables consisted mainly of one remaining significant
      action. During June 2005, the Bankruptcy Court awarded the Liquidation Trust
      $1.0 million in this action. During March 2006, the District Court upheld the
      Bankruptcy Court ruling in its entirety. The defendant appealed the affirmation
      by the District Court to the Court of Appeals. During June 2007, the Court
      of
      Appeals remanded the case to the District Court, with instructions to remand
      to
      the Bankruptcy Court for specific findings (see Note 11). The Liquidation Trust
      and its counsel intend to vigorously pursue collection of the original judgment.
      The Liquidation Trust’s current estimate of the fair value of preference
      receivables is primarily based on the content of the Court of Appeals ruling
      and
      on the status of negotiations with the defendant in this action.





The
      fair
      value of the preference receivables is reassessed quarterly and adjustments
      to
      estimated fair values are reflected in the period in which they become known.
      The eventual net realizable value of preference receivables is likely to differ
      from their estimated net fair value and these differences may be significant.

**5.**  **Unimpaired
      and Convenience Claims Payable**





Unimpaired
      Claims payable represents the estimated aggregate settlement amount of
      Unimpaired Claims against the Debtors prior to the Effective Date of the Plan,
      which will be paid out at 100% of their Allowed amount. Such Claims are valued
      at the Liquidation Trust’s best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be
      allowed. Convenience Claims, also included in this classification, are not
      significant.





Unimpaired

Pursuant
      to the Plan, certain fees and expenses which Kmart Corporation (“Kmart”)
      incurred in connection with the Debtors’ bankruptcy filing were allowed as an
      Unimpaired Claim. Allowed Unimpaired Claims as of December 31, 2007 and
      September 30, 2007 include this Claim, which has not yet been substantiated
      by
      Kmart as required by the Plan, at its estimated amount of $1.3 million.





The
      amount asserted by the holders of the remaining Disputed Unimpaired Claims
      is
      insignificant as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007. The Liquidation
      Trust believes that the likelihood of paying any of these Claims is remote
      and
      anticipates that each of these Claims will be expunged or waived; accordingly,
      no liability has been recorded with respect to the remaining Disputed Unimpaired
      Claims.





Unimpaired
      Claims are valued by reviewing the facts available to the Liquidation Trust,
      including the Debtors’ records and information submitted by the claimants, and
      estimating the ultimate settlement value of the Claims. The fair value of
      Unimpaired Claims payable is reassessed quarterly and adjustments to estimated
      fair values are reflected in the period in which they become known. However,
      no
      assurance can be given as to the ultimate allowance, disallowance or settlement
      of the remaining Disputed Unimpaired Claims, individually or in the aggregate.





**6.**  **Uncashed
      Claims Checks**





Pursuant
      to the Plan, any Claims payments and Distributions which remain uncashed for
      90
      days following their issuance date are forfeited to the Liquidation Trust for
      distribution to other holders of Allowed Claims. Pending a final order from
      the
      Bankruptcy Court, the Liquidation Trust has treated such items as a liability.
      Such checks currently may be reissued upon timely request of the payee, subject
      to applicable fees.





**7.**  **Distributions
      Payable**





Distributions
      payable represents the amount of authorized Distributions which the Liquidation
      Trust has been unable to pay to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims. A number
      of
      holders of such Allowed Claims, while otherwise eligible for Distributions,
      have
      either not yet provided all information necessary for payment; were subject
      to
      an offsetting claim by the Liquidation Trust which had not yet been resolved;
      or, because they had not cashed a previous Distribution check, were not paid
      any
      subsequent Distributions. Until all such issues are resolved, the holder of
      an
      Allowed Claim may not receive a Distribution.

**8.**  **Estimated
      Costs of Liquidation**





The
      Wind-down Reserve and Litigation Reserve described below together constitute
      the
      estimated costs of liquidation in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets
      in
      Liquidation.





Under
      the
      Plan, the Liquidation Trust was required to establish and fund a reserve to
      pay
      administration costs and costs of holding and liquidating the Liquidation
      Trust’s assets (the “Wind-down Reserve”). Substantially all of the day-to-day
      operations of the Liquidation Trust were terminated during June 2005; however,
      provision has been made for necessary management oversight and administrative,
      legal and accounting processes to continue through the current estimated
      termination date of February 2009. These final items include resolution of
      the
      remaining Disputed Claims and all litigation (excluding the costs provided
      for
      in the Litigation Reserve), a final Distribution, if applicable, and filings
      with regulatory authorities and with the Bankruptcy Court. The Wind-down Reserve
      includes provision for costs after the current Court-authorized termination
      date
      of October 26, 2008, because the Liquidation Trust believes that certain
      responsibilities such as filing final tax returns will occur after that
      date.





Pursuant
      to the Plan, the Liquidation Trust also established and funded a reserve to
      pay
      the costs of pursuing certain actions, including the case referred to as the
      “Committee Action” (the “Litigation Reserve”). The amount of the Litigation
      Reserve as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 is intended to fund
      the
      appeal of the District Court’s Summary Judgment Decision and related judgment
      with respect to the Committee Action in the Court of Appeals (see Note 11).





The
      fair
      value of the estimated costs of liquidation is reassessed quarterly and
      adjustments to estimated fair values are reflected in the period in which they
      become known. Actual costs are likely to differ from the estimated costs and
      these differences may be significant.

The
      litigation appeals provision represents cash held in reserve to allow the
      Liquidation Trust to pursue or defend a future trial and appeals of the
      Committee Action. The Liquidation Trustee designated this contingency reserve
      after concluding that future cash receipts of the Liquidation Trust might not be
      sufficient to fund such actions prospectively. No liability has been accrued
      in
      connection with such possible future actions because the Liquidation Trust
      has
      not determined that any such action required will necessitate additional funding
      of the Litigation Reserve.

The
      minimum reserve, established pursuant to the Plan and intended to assure
      adequate liquidity for the Liquidation Trust, is to be maintained, subject

Distributions
      to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims have been authorized, through December
      31,
      2007, in the cumulative amount of 10.2911% of the Allowed amount of the Impaired
      Claims. A total of $71.1 million has been paid to holders of Allowed Impaired
      Claims through December 31, 2007. In conjunction with the authorized
      Distributions, as of December 31, 2007, the Liquidation Trust held a total
      of
      $2.7 million of Available Cash for Distribution to holders of Impaired Claims,
      including the $2.2 million Disputed Impaired Claims Reserve for Distribution
      to
      holders of Disputed Impaired Claims should such Disputed Claims become Allowed,
      and $0.4 million in Distributions payable to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims
      (see Notes 3 and 7). The Disputed Impaired Claims Reserve is determined based
      on
      the cumulative Distribution rate and on the estimated amount, approved by the
      Bankruptcy Court for reserve purposes, of each remaining Disputed Impaired
      Claim.





No
      assurance can be given as to the ultimate allowance, disallowance or settlement
      of the remaining Disputed Impaired Claims, individually or in the aggregate.





**11.**  **Contingencies**





**Litigation
      and Other Proceedings on behalf of the Liquidation Trust**





Federal
      Court Case




The
      Liquidation Trust is pursuing an action referred to as the “Committee Action” on
      behalf of its beneficiaries in the United States District Court for the District
      of Delaware (the “District Court”) and in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals
      (the “Court of Appeals”). This action arose from a business combination among
      the Debtors during 1997 and the related financing (the “1997 Transactions”), and
      was filed against certain parties that arranged, approved, or financed the
      1997
      Transactions. The 1997 Transactions were arranged and/or approved by Leonard
      Green & Partners, L.P. and related entities and the controlling shareholders
      and directors of the Debtors (including the “Officer and Director Defendants”)
      (collectively, the “Insiders”). The 1997 Transactions were financed by a series
      of secured credit agreements, under which the Chase Manhattan Bank and Fleet
      (Fleet Retail Finance Inc., formerly BankBoston Retail Finance Inc.) served
      as
      agent for the pre-petition lender group (the “Pre-petition
      Lenders”).

An
        amended complaint with respect to the Committee Action was filed in the United
        States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on April 3, 2001, as
        Civil
        Action No. 00-840-RRM and was styled “The Official Committee of Unsecured
        Creditors of Hechinger Investment Company of Delaware, Inc., et  al .,
        Plaintiff, v. Fleet Retail Finance Group, The Chase Manhattan Bank, Back
        Bay
        Capital Funding, LLC, each individually and as agent for various parties
        to
        credit agreements described herein, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., Green
        Equity Investors II, L.P., John W. Hechinger, Jr., John W. Hechinger, S.
        Ross
        Hechinger, Ann D. Jordan, Robert S. Parker, Melvin A. Wilmore, Alan J. Zakon,
        Kenneth J. Cort, W. Clark McClelland, June R. Hechinger, Nancy Hechinger
        Lowe,
        Sally Hechinger Rudoy, Catherine S. England, Richard England, Jr., June L.P.,
        and Jarsan Associates L.P., Defendants.”
  The
        Committee Action, initially filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured
        Creditors appointed for the Debtors, and assigned to the Liquidation Trust
        pursuant to the Plan, alleges that the defendants carried out the 1997
        Transactions despite their knowledge that Hechinger was insolvent at the
        time,
        and asserts fraudulent conveyance and/or breach of fiduciary duty claims
        against
        the Insiders, seeking recovery of at least $127 million in damages. It also
        asserts fraudulent conveyance claims against the Pre-petition Lenders and
        challenges the repayment of the Pre-petition Lenders using the proceeds of
        a
        post-petition loan.
  During
        July 2005, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion and order on pending
        summary judgment motions (collectively, the “Summary Judgment Decision”),
        dismissing the Liquidation Trust’s claims against Fleet, General Electric Credit
        Corp. (“GECC”), and certain other defendants in the Committee Action. During
        August 2005, the District Court substantively denied the Liquidation Trust’s
        motion for reconsideration of the Summary Judgment Decision. During December
        2005, the Liquidation Trust filed its notice of appeal from the Summary Judgment
        Decision and related judgment in the Committee Action with the Court of
        Appeals.
  A
        March
        2006 mediation that was ordered and conducted by the Court of Appeals did
        not
        result in a settlement among the remaining parties to the Committee Action.
        The
        Liquidation Trust continues to pursue the Committee Action against certain
        remaining defendants with which it has not reached a settlement. Pursuant
        to a
        scheduling order issued by the Court of Appeals during March 2007, briefing
        in
        the Committee Action appeal was completed during July 2007. The Court of
        Appeals
        has not yet scheduled oral argument.
  The
        various remaining defendants are vigorously opposing this action. There is
        no
        assurance that the Liquidation Trust will prevail on appeal. While the
        Liquidation Trust is vigorously pursuing this litigation with the intent
        to
        obtain a substantial recovery, the Liquidation Trust cannot predict with
        any
        certainty the outcome of the litigation or the amount or range of potential
        recoveries.
  Bankruptcy
        Court Case
  The
        Debtors filed approximately 1,800 preference actions in 2001. As of December
        31,
        2007, only one significant preference litigation action continued. During
        March
        2006, the District Court upheld the Bankruptcy Court’s award to the Liquidation
        Trust of $1.0 million in this action. The defendant further appealed the
        affirmation by the District Court to the Court of Appeals. During June 2007,
        the
        Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court, with instructions
        to
        remand to the Bankruptcy Court for specific findings. The Bankruptcy Court
        has
        established a briefing schedule to be completed during February 2008. The
        Liquidation Trust and its counsel intend to vigorously pursue collection
        of the
        original judgment. Prosecution of all other significant preference litigation
        has been completed.
  12
  **Litigation
        and Other Proceedings Against the Liquidation Trust**
  Settling
        Claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court is the ordinary course of business
        for
        the Liquidation Trust. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 13 Disputed Claims
        remained unresolved. None of these Disputed Claims, if resolved in favor
        of the
        claimant, would have a material effect on the financial condition of the
        Liquidation Trust.
  Other
        than as described herein, the Liquidation Trust is not a defendant in any
        action
        or proceeding which, if the Liquidation Trust were to be found liable in
        such
        action or proceeding, would materially adversely impact the Liquidation Trust’s
        financial condition.
  **12.**  **Other**
 
 During
        the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Liquidation Trust received a
        $0.3 million distribution in the liquidation of the former company-owned
        life
        insurance policy carrier for one of the Debtors. The Debtors were entitled
        to
        these liquidation proceeds solely as a result of the occurrence and particular
        terms of this insurance carrier’s liquidation. Therefore no receivable for
        this distribution from the carrier had previously been recorded as an asset
        of
        the Liquidation Trust. The receipt was included in "Other increases, net"
        in the
        Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.
  13
  **Item
        2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
        Operations**
 
 Reference
        is made to the unaudited financial statements of the Liquidation Trust as
        of
        December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 and for the three months ended December
        31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the notes thereto (the “Unaudited
        Liquidation Trust Financial Statements”), included as Item 1. of this Form 10-Q.
        The following information concerning the Liquidation Trust’s financial
        performance and condition should be read in conjunction with the audited
        Liquidation Trust financial statements as of September 30, 2007 and
        September 30, 2006, and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007,
        September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, and the notes
        thereto.
 
 The
        Unaudited Liquidation Trust Financial Statements have been prepared on the
        same
        basis as the audited Liquidation Trust financial statements, using the
        liquidation basis of accounting, and, in the opinion of the Liquidation Trustee,
        contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary
        for a fair presentation of the Liquidation Trust’s results for such periods. The
        Liquidation Trust’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2007 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
        period or any future fiscal year. All amounts are rounded and are therefore
        approximate.
 
 **I.** **Accounting
            Policies and Estimates**
 
 The
        following discussion and analysis of the Liquidation Trust’s changes in net
        assets in liquidation, cash receipts and disbursements, and net assets in
        liquidation is based on the Unaudited Liquidation 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 financial statements, the
        Liquidation Trustee is required to make certain estimates and assumptions
        which
        affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in liquidation at
        estimated fair value, including estimates and assumptions concerning resolution
        of disputed claims, resolution of current and potential litigation, and the
        fair
        value, and related disclosure, of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
        ongoing basis, the Liquidation Trustee evaluates and updates these estimates
        and
        assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions
        the
        Liquidation Trustee believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
        results may differ from these estimates and different assumptions would lead
        to
        different estimates.
 
 The
        Liquidation Trust’s critical accounting policies are described in Management’s
        Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
        in the
        Liquidation Trust’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
        2007.
 
 **II.** **Changes
          in Net Assets in Liquidation**
 
 Net
        assets in liquidation are subject to material change when either (a)
        Distributions to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims are authorized, or (b)
        estimates of the fair value of the Liquidation Trust’s assets and/or liabilities
        change, including as a result of significant events in, or the resolution
        of,
        litigation pursued by the Liquidation Trust. Both the authorization of
        Distributions and changes in estimates are non-cash changes. These changes
        are
        shown in the Liquidation Trust’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets in
        Liquidation and are discussed below.
 
 Most
        cash
        transactions, on the other hand, such as collection of receivables and payments
        of liabilities and Distributions, cause offsetting changes in the associated
        components of assets and liabilities, but do not change net assets in
        liquidation. The Liquidation Trust’s Statements of Cash Receipts and
        Disbursements show the results of these transactions, which are also discussed
        later under the heading “Cash Receipts and Disbursements.”

**A.** **Interest
        income**





Interest
      income decreased during the three months ended December 31, 2007 as compared
      to
      the three months ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of declining
      interest rates.





**B.** **Other
        increases, net**





Other
      increases, net during the three months ended December 31, 2007 consisted
      primarily of a $0.3 million distribution in the liquidation of the former
      company-owned life insurance policy carrier for one of the Debtors. The Debtors
      were entitled to these liquidation proceeds solely as a result of the occurrence
      and particular terms of this insurance carrier’s liquidation. Therefore no
      receivable for this distribution from the carrier had previously been recorded
      as an asset of the Liquidation Trust. No such event occurred during the three
      months ended December 31, 2006.

15





**A.** **Cash
                receipts**





During
      the three months ended December 31, 2007, there were no cash receipts from
      collections of preference receivables. Preference collections during the three
      months ended December 31, 2006 were nominal, resulting from collections efforts
      on recently settled cases and certain default judgments issued. With the
      exception of one substantial case, discussed under “Net Assets in Liquidation”,
      Part I, Item 2.IV.A., below, no substantial preference actions remain as of
      December 31, 2007. Future preference receipts, other than from this one case,
      are expected to be insignificant.





Other
      receipts during the three months ended December 31, 2007 related primarily
      to
      the $0.3 million distribution discussed in “Changes in Net Assets in
      Liquidation,” Part I, Item 2.II.B., above. No such event occurred during the
      three months ended December 31, 2006.





**B.** **Operating
        expenses**





A
      significant portion of operating expenses for the three months ended December
      31, 2007 and for the three months ended December 31, 2006 consisted of annual
      insurance premiums for the Liquidation Trust. Operating expenses during the
      three months ended December 31, 2007 were significantly lower than those during
      the three months ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to substantial decreases
      in the insurance premiums for the Liquidation Trust’s business and liability
      insurance resulting from a more favorable market for such coverages.





**C.** **Legal
        and professional fees**




Legal
      and
      professional fees reflect the activity level in various areas of the Liquidation
      Trust’s responsibilities.





The
      litigation fees paid for the Committee Action during the three months ended
      December 31, 2007 were significantly more than those paid during the three
      months ended December 31, 2006. Fees paid during the three months ended December
      31, 2007 covered over ten months of legal services, primarily related to the
      Committee Action appeal. Fees paid during the three months ended December 31,
      2006, however, related mainly to a settlement with certain prior defendants
      in
      the Committee Action, and covered approximately five months of
      services.





Legal
      and
      professional fees for Liquidation Trust operations include all legal,
      accounting, and other support services except for the expenses of prosecuting
      the Committee Action, and expenses related to preference collections pursued
      on
      a contingency-fee basis. The operations of the Liquidation Trust, including
      the
      legal and professional fees, continue to diminish because most assets have
      been
      liquidated and most Claims have been resolved.





Total
      preference recovery fees during the three months ended December 31, 2007 were
      not comparable to such fees during the three months ended December 31, 2006.
      The
      collection fees for most preference settlements are contingent, and are set
      at a
      declining rate (generally ranging from 35% to 7% of collections) for larger
      cases. In addition, preference recovery fees include expenses incurred in
      support of preference collections and associated litigation. During the three
      months ended December 31, 2007, no preference recoveries were received, but
      the
      Liquidation Trust paid nominal ongoing expenses of preference collection
      counsel. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, preference recovery
      fees related to collection of a number of recently settled cases and certain
      default judgments issued.

**IV.** **Net
        Assets in Liquidation**





**A.** **Assets**




1.**** Cash
          and cash equivalents





The
      Liquidation Trust’s cash and cash equivalents balance of $19.6 million as of
      December 31, 2007 and $19.5 million as of September 30, 2007 is classified
      as
      either (a) cash designated as available for distribution to holders of Impaired
      Claims (“Available Cash”), (b) Reserved Cash or (c) Other Cash.





Available
      Cash is designated to assure the availability of funds for payment to holders
      of
      Impaired Claims who have not received authorized Distributions. The required
      amount of Available Cash of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2007 was based
      primarily on the cumulative Distribution rate of 10.2911%, for $22.9 million
      of
      Disputed Impaired Claims (at their estimated value for reserve purposes), as
      well as unpaid Distributions to holders of Allowed Impaired Claims who have
      not
      met all the requirements for a Distribution, or have not cashed a Distribution
      check and therefore have not been paid subsequent Distributions, in accordance
      with the Plan. The required amount of Available Cash of $2.7 million as of
      September 30, 2007 was based primarily on the cumulative Distribution rate
      of
      10.2911%, for $23.1 million of Disputed Impaired Claims (at their estimated
      value for reserve purposes), as well as unpaid Distributions to holders of
      Allowed Impaired Claims. The value of Disputed Claims, for the purpose of
      establishing adequate reserves, was estimated by the Liquidation Trust and
      approved by the Bankruptcy Court in an order establishing the amounts of
      Disputed Claims Reserves.





Reserved
      cash is held by the Liquidation Trust to assure payment of the Liquidation
      Trust’s obligations. Under the terms of the Plan, reserved cash is intended to
      provide for (a) operating expenses of the Liquidation Trust,
      (b) estimated payments to holders of Allowed Unimpaired and Convenience
      Claims in accordance with the Plan, and (c) payments which may become
      necessary if and as Disputed Unimpaired Claims become allowed, or if certain
      specific contingencies should occur. Reserved cash decreased to a balance of
      $10.3 million as of December 31, 2007, a change of $0.3 million from September
      30, 2007, primarily as a result of disbursements from the Wind-down Reserve
      and
      the Litigation Reserve, as discussed below.





2.**** Preference
          receivables





As
      of
      December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, preference receivables consisted
      mainly of one remaining significant action. During June 2005, the Bankruptcy
      Court awarded the Liquidation Trust $1.0 million in this action. During March
      2006, the District Court upheld the Bankruptcy Court ruling in its entirety.
      The
      defendant appealed the affirmation by the District Court to the Court of
      Appeals. During June 2007, the Court of Appeals remanded the case to the
      District Court, with instructions to remand to the Bankruptcy Court for specific
      findings. The Liquidation Trust and its counsel intend to vigorously pursue
      collection of the original judgment. The Liquidation Trust’s current estimate of
      the fair value of preference receivables is primarily based on the content
      of
      the Court of Appeals ruling and on the status of negotiations with the defendant
      in this action.





**B.** **Liabilities
          and Reserves**





Estimated
      costs of liquidation decreased by $0.3 million, to a balance of $1.2 million
      as
      of December 31, 2007, compared to September 30, 2007. The decrease is due to
      disbursements totaling $0.2 million from the Wind-down Reserve, and $0.1 million
      from the Litigation Reserve.

**V.** **Contingencies**





The
      Liquidation Trust is pursuing litigation against various parties, in particular
      the “Committee Action,” as described in “Legal Proceedings,” below. The
      Liquidation Trust cannot predict with any certainty the ultimate outcome of
      the
      remaining litigation or the amount or range of potential
      recoveries.





**VI.** **Forward-Looking
        Statements**





This
      quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the
      business, financial condition and prospects of the Liquidation Trust. The actual
      results of the Liquidation Trust could differ materially from those indicated
      by
      the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties,
      including, without limitation, the Liquidation Trust’s success in securing
      claims settlements on the terms currently contemplated in ongoing negotiations
      and in other estimates of settlement value, the effect of substantial delays
      in
      settling contingent assets and liabilities, resulting in a prolonged period
      of
      liquidation, economic conditions, changes in tax and other government rules
      and
      regulations applicable to the Liquidation Trust and other risks. These risks
      are
      beyond the ability of the Liquidation Trust to control, and in many cases,
      the
      Liquidation Trust cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause
      its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by any
      forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q. When used in this
      quarterly report, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,”
“anticipates” and other similar expressions as they relate to the Liquidation
      Trust or the Liquidation Trustee are intended to identify forward-looking
      statements.





**Item
      3.** **Quantitative
      and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**





The
      Liquidation Trust does not hold any market risk sensitive
      instruments.





**Item
      4.** **Controls
      and Procedures**





The
      Liquidation Trust has designed and maintains disclosure controls and procedures
      to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or
      submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
      within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations.
      These controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information
      is communicated to the Liquidation Trustee, to allow him to make timely
      decisions about required disclosures.





The
      Liquidation Trust, including the Liquidation Trustee, has conducted an
      evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant
      to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the
      Liquidation Trustee concluded that the Liquidation Trust’s disclosure controls
      and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2007.





There
      has
      been no change in the Liquidation Trust’s internal control over financial
      reporting that occurred during the Liquidation Trust’s most recent fiscal
      quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
      affect, the Liquidation Trust’s internal control over financial
      reporting.





The
      remaining responsibilities of the Liquidation Trust no longer require the
      full-time attention of the Liquidation Trustee or of Liquidation Trust
      employees. The Liquidation Trustee and one other employee are performing
      necessary management oversight and administrative, legal and accounting
      processes on a part-time basis, with periodic assistance from two other
      part-time employees. While the Liquidation Trustee believes that these
      individuals will consistently make themselves available as needed to perform
      their assigned responsibilities, including functions related to internal control
      over financial reporting, there can be no assurance that this availability
      will
      continue. As a result, there may be future deficiencies in internal accounting
      controls related to a lack of segregation of duties.

**PART
      II - OTHER INFORMATION**





**Item
      1. Legal Proceedings**





Further
      background information about the following cases is disclosed in Part I, Item
      3., “Legal Proceedings,” of the Liquidation Trust’s Form 10-K for the fiscal
      year ended September 30, 2007.





Federal
      Court Case





The
      Liquidation Trust is pursuing an action referred to as the “Committee Action” on
      behalf of its beneficiaries in the District Court and in the Court of Appeals.
      This action arose from a business combination among the Debtors during 1997
      and
      the related financing (the “1997 Transactions”), and was filed against certain
      parties that arranged, approved, or financed the 1997 Transactions. The 1997
      Transactions were arranged and/or approved by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P.
      and related entities and the controlling shareholders and directors of the
      Debtors (including the “Officer and Director Defendants”) (collectively, the
“Insiders”). The 1997 Transactions were financed by a series of secured credit
      agreements, under which the Chase Manhattan Bank and Fleet (Fleet Retail Finance
      Inc., formerly BankBoston Retail Finance Inc.) served as agent for the
      pre-petition lender group (the “Pre-petition Lenders”).





An
      amended complaint with respect to the Committee Action was filed in the United
      States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on April 3, 2001, as Civil
      Action No. 00-840-RRM and was styled “The Official Committee of Unsecured
      Creditors of Hechinger Investment Company of Delaware, Inc., et  al .,
      Plaintiff, v. Fleet Retail Finance Group, The Chase Manhattan Bank, Back Bay
      Capital Funding, LLC, each individually and as agent for various parties to
      credit agreements described herein, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., Green
      Equity Investors II, L.P., John W. Hechinger, Jr., John W. Hechinger, S. Ross
      Hechinger, Ann D. Jordan, Robert S. Parker, Melvin A. Wilmore, Alan J. Zakon,
      Kenneth J. Cort, W. Clark McClelland, June R. Hechinger, Nancy Hechinger Lowe,
      Sally Hechinger Rudoy, Catherine S. England, Richard England, Jr., June L.P.,
      and Jarsan Associates L.P., Defendants.”




The
      Committee Action, initially filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured
      Creditors appointed for the Debtors, and assigned to the Liquidation Trust
      pursuant to the Plan, alleges that the defendants carried out the 1997
      Transactions despite their knowledge that Hechinger was insolvent at the time,
      and asserts fraudulent conveyance and/or breach of fiduciary duty claims against
      the Insiders, seeking recovery of at least $127 million in damages. It also
      asserts fraudulent conveyance claims against the Pre-petition Lenders and
      challenges the repayment of the Pre-petition Lenders using the proceeds of
      a
      post-petition loan.




During
      July 2005, the District Court issued a memorandum opinion and order on pending
      summary judgment motions (collectively, the “Summary Judgment Decision”),
      dismissing the Liquidation Trust’s claims against Fleet, General Electric Credit
      Corp. (“GECC”), and certain other defendants in the Committee Action. During
      August 2005, the District Court substantively denied the Liquidation Trust’s
      motion for reconsideration of the Summary Judgment Decision. During December
      2005, the Liquidation Trust filed its notice of appeal from the Summary Judgment
      Decision with the Court of Appeals.




A
      March
      2006 mediation that was ordered and conducted by the Court of Appeals did not
      result in a settlement among the remaining parties to the Committee Action.
      The
      Liquidation Trust continues to pursue the Committee Action against certain
      remaining defendants with which it has not reached a settlement. Pursuant to
      a
      scheduling order issued by the Court of Appeals during March 2007, briefing
      in
      the appeal was completed during July 2007. The Court of Appeals has not yet
      scheduled oral argument.




The
      various remaining defendants are vigorously opposing this action. There is
      no
      assurance that the Liquidation Trust will prevail on appeal. While the
      Liquidation Trust is vigorously pursuing this litigation with the intent to
      obtain a substantial recovery, the Liquidation Trust cannot predict with any
      certainty the outcome of the litigation or the amount or range of potential
      recoveries.

Bankruptcy
      Court Case




The
      Debtors filed approximately 1,800 preference actions in 2001. As of December
      31,
      2007, one significant preference litigation action continued. During March
      2006,
      the District Court upheld the Bankruptcy Court’s award to the Liquidation Trust
      of $1.0 million in this action. The defendant further appealed the affirmation
      by the District Court to the Court of Appeals. During June 2007, the Court
      of
      Appeals remanded the case to the District Court, with instructions to remand
      to
      the Bankruptcy Court for specific findings. The Bankruptcy Court has
      established a briefing schedule to be completed during February 2008. The
      Liquidation Trust and its counsel intend to vigorously pursue collection of
      the
      original judgment. Prosecution of all other significant preference litigation
      has been completed.




**Litigation
      and Other Proceedings Against the Liquidation Trust**




Settling
      Claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court is the ordinary course of business for
      the Liquidation Trust. As of December 31, 2007, a total of 13 Disputed Claims
      remained unresolved. None of these Disputed Claims, if resolved in favor of
      the
      claimant, would have a material effect on the financial condition of the
      Liquidation Trust.




Other
      than as described herein, the Liquidation Trust is not a defendant in any action
      or proceeding which, if the Liquidation Trust were to be found liable in such
      action or proceeding, would materially adversely impact the Liquidation Trust’s
      financial condition.




**Item
      1A.** **Risk
      Factors**





There
      are
      no material changes in risk factors as previously disclosed in the Liquidation
      Trust’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
      2007.





**Item
      2.** **Unregistered
      Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**
