The Trust's Q2 net income fell to $14.7 million from $22.2 million a year earlier, driven by a sharp rise in general and administrative expenses tied to litigation and reporting requirements. With no property sales in the first half of 2026, cash flow from operations declined, and the Trust continues to face uncertainty from the terminated sale agreement and pending lawsuit. The extension of the termination date to August 28, 2026, adds pressure to resolve the litigation or find a new buyer.
