# **ATTACHMENT TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 2025**

This attachment is incorporated into and made a part of the Monthly Operating Report ("MOR") of Genever Holdings LLC (the "Debtor").

#### **General Disclaimers**

- 1. The MOR is presented on a form promulgated in 2021 by the Executive Office of the United States Trustee. This form in many instances requires inserting a number for a line item even if the line item does not apply. The form also does not allow for the insertion of explanations next to answers. Accordingly, as presented, certain responses may be inapplicable or incomplete. This attachment is being filed as an integral part of the MOR. - 2. The Debtor has been under the control of Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") in the case of Ho Wan Kwok, as holder of a proxy from Genever Holdings Corporation, since September 2022. Information herein reflects the information available to the Trustee as of the date of the filing of this MOR but is subject to revision based on the Trustee's ongoing investigation and review of claims. For example, the amount of prepetition debt reported in Part 2 of the MOR, derived from the Debtor's schedules of assets and liabilities filed on November 3, 2020 (the "Schedules"), may be adjusted based on the disallowance of certain claims or the allowance of claims filed in connection with the reopened claims filing process with respect to which the claims bar date was set for February 17, 2023. Moreover, the value of the apartment at the Sherry Netherland Hotel, which the Debtor believes is its primary asset, may in reality be significantly lower than the amount reported in Part 2 of the MOR. In particular, the value of the apartment may be a fraction of the amount reported in Part 2 of the MOR given the fire that occurred in the apartment on March 15, 2023. The Trustee makes no representation as to the current market value of the Debtor's assets - 3. The Trustee reserves the rights to amend, modify or supplement this MOR or update it in future MORs.
