                                    PART I.


ITEM 1.    BUSINESS.
           -------- 

     Greenwich Properties-I, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), the former registrant,
ceased operations on February 7, 1994, and dissolved and terminated on December
28, 1994 upon filing Form  LP-4. Greenwich Properties-I, Ltd. Liquidating Trust
(the "Trust") was formed in order to wind up the Partnership's affairs.

     The Trust was established pursuant to the terms of a trust agreement dated
December 20, 1994 with Mr. Herbert M. Gelfand (or his successor appointed in
accordance with the terms of the trust agreement), as sole trustee of the Trust
(the "Trustee").  The sole beneficiaries of the Trust are the former Limited
Partners of the Partnership (the "Beneficiaries").  The Trust will hold all of
the remaining assets of the Partnership, subject to any remaining liabilities of
the Partnership, whether known or unknown.  The Trust assets are not commingled
with the assets of any other partnership or liquidating trust established for
any other partnership.

     The trust agreement contains customary terms and conditions and has the
following characteristics:

            (i) Each Limited Partner became a beneficiary of the Trust to the
          extent of their former pro rata limited partner class interest in the
          Partnership.

            (ii) The Trust's activities will consist of:  (a) satisfying any
          liabilities or obligations of the Partnership which were not paid or
          otherwise discharged by the Partnership;  (b) making liquidating
          distributions to the beneficiaries when the liabilities of the
          Partnership are settled;  (c) investing its liquid assets in demand
          and short term time deposits in banks or savings institutions or
          temporary investments such as short-term certificates of deposit or
          Treasury bills (excluding derivative securities);  and  (d) taking
          such other action as is necessary to conserve and protect the assets
          of the Trust and provide for the orderly liquidation of the assets
          transferred to the Trust.  Since the former Limited Partners are the
          sole beneficiaries of the Trust, they will bear the risk of the
          investment of the Trust assets.

            (iii)  Beneficial interests in the Trust will not be transferable
          except by will, intestate succession, or operation of law and no
          certificates representing such beneficial interests have been issued.

            (iv) The Trustee will issue annual reports to the Beneficiaries
          showing the assets and liabilities of the Trust at the end of each
          calendar year and the receipts and disbursements of the Trustee for
          the period.  The annual report will also describe changes to the
          assets of the Trust during the period and actions taken by the Trustee
          during the period.  Such reports will be audited by the Trust's
          outside certified public accountants.  

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
          The Trustee may also issue interim reports to the Beneficiaries. These
          interim reports will be issued whenever, in the opinion of the
          Trustee, a significant event relating to the assets of the Trust has
          occurred.

            (v) At the reasonable discretion of the Trustee, the Trust will
          disburse its net earnings annually.

            (vi) The Trust will terminate at the earlier of the distribution of
          all of the remaining assets, if any, to the beneficiaries or three
          years from the date of formation of the Trust, but may be extended to
          a later date if liabilities remain unresolved at the end of the three-
          year term.

          The sole beneficiaries of the Trust are the former Limited Partners of
the Partnership.  The Trust holds all of the remaining assets of the
Partnership, subject to any remaining liabilities of the Partnership, whether
known or unknown at the time of its termination.  These assets initially
consisted of the Reserve, which is described in Item 7(1) and (2) Liquidity and
Capital Resources which is incorporated herein by reference.  Upon termination
of the Trust, any remaining assets will be distributed in one or more
installments, to the Beneficiaries (the former Limited Partners of the
Partnership, pro rata in accordance with their former class ownership interest
in the Partnership).

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
        ---------- 

        The Trust owns no physical properties.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
        ----------------- 

        The Partnership's former property, The Meadows, was involved in
litigation in Superior Court of the State of Arizona, County of Maricopa known
as David E. Yochum v. De Anza Assets, Inc. et al Case No. CV 94-92415.  Mr.
   ---------------------------------------------                           
Yochum claimed that management attempted to wrongfully evict him from the
property.  The matter was settled in June 1996, with De Anza's insurer paying a
portion of the settlement.  The Trust did not have to contribute any funds to
the settlement.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY-HOLDERS.
        --------------------------------------------------- 

        No matter was submitted during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

                                      -3-

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE TRUST'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
        -------------------------------------------------------------------- 

   (a)  Market Information.
        ------------------ 

        Under the terms of Trust, the Beneficial Interests are not transferable,
therefore, there is no public market for the Beneficiary Interests in the Trust
and it is not anticipated that a public market for them will develop.
Accordingly, accurate information as to the market value of an Interest at any
given date is not available. The estimated aggregate market price shown on the
cover page of this report is simply the original capital contributed by the
Partnership and should not be relied upon as indicative of any bid or ask
quotations or transactions in the Trust.

   (b)  Holders.
        ------- 
        As of December 31, 1996, the approximate number of Beneficiaries is
3,150.

   (c)  Dividends.
        --------- 
 
        The Trust does  not pay dividends, but will distribute Trust assets in
one or more installments as the settlement of liabilities allow as determined by
the Trustee.  No distributions were made in 1996.

                                      -4-

Ltd. Liquidating Trust (the Trust) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of operations, changes in beneficiaries' capital and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the period December
20, 1994 (date of inception) through December 31, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Herbert M. Gelfand, the trustee. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the period December 20, 1994 (date of
inception) through December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Greenwich Properties - I, Ltd. Liquidating Trust (the Trust) was formed on
December 20, 1994 to acquire the remaining assets, assume the remaining
liabilities and wind up the affairs of Greenwich Properties - I, Ltd. (the
Partnership), pursuant to a plan of liquidation of the Partnership. The
Partnership ceased operations as of February 7, 1994, and subsequently dissolved
and was terminated on December 28, 1994. Upon liquidation, all of the remaining
assets and liabilities of the Partnership and its reserves were contributed
by the Partnership to the Trust, on behalf of the beneficiaries, of which
Herbert M. Gelfand, the former operating general partner of the Partnership, is
the trustee (Trustee). The Trust will settle Partnership liabilities and will
terminate after final release and distribution of reserves. Beneficial interest
in the Trust will be maintained by the Partnership's former limited partners in
accordance with each partner's pro rata class ownership interest in the
Partnership.
 
On December 28, 1994, the Partnership contributed the following assets and
liabilities to the Trust on behalf of the beneficiaries:

      Cash                                        $880,283
      Accounts payable and accrued expenses        (29,598)
                                                  --------   
      Net capital contribution to the Trust       $850,685
                                                  ========

The cash makes up the Partnership Expense Reserve which was established to fund
future administrative costs and contingencies of the Trust.

INCOME TAXES

No provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial
statements since the beneficiaries are responsible for reflecting their share of
income or loss on their respective income tax returns.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

              For the Years Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and
For the Period December 20, 1994 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 1994


1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Trust invests cash not needed for working capital in highly liquid short-
term investments consisting of money market funds and certificates of deposit,
with original maturities generally ranging from one to three months. The Trust
considers all such items to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1996, and
periodically, balances in various accounts exceeded federally insured limits. No
losses have been experienced to date related to such accounts.  The Trust places
its cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions and believes
it is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk on cash and
cash equivalents.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents and
accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these
instruments.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Terra Vista Management, Inc. and De Anza Leasing Corporation, a related party
and affiliate, respectively, of the Trustee, were paid in the aggregate $25,693
and $32,861 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, for
performing bookkeeping, computer, legal and beneficiary relations services
necessary for the administration of the Trust.

See accompanying report of independent auditors.

For the Period December 20, 1994 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 1994


3. LOSS PER 1% BENEFICIARY INTEREST

Loss per 1% beneficiary interest is computed based on each beneficiary's pro
rata limited partner class ownership interest formerly held in the dissolved
Partnership. The 1996 net loss of $22,441 and the 1995 net loss of $71,376
results in $224.41 and $713.76, respectively, of loss for each 1% interest in
the Trust.
