According to reports, First Capital Real Estate Trust, formerly known as United Realty Capital Trust, has missed filing financial statements with the SEC for more than a year and recently cut its dividend to investors. Now more bad news for investors: failing to pay employees on time.

According to the company’s quarterly report for June 2015, the REIT had $63.2 million in total assets. Since then, it has reportedly not issued another financial statement with the SEC, although, according to Investment News, it is possible that it has almost four times as many assets, based on a transaction reported last year.

As we told you last month, First Capital suspended the company’s monthly distribution to investors in order to increase its cash reserves according to an SEC filing. For more information on The White Law Group’s investigation see First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated Suspends Distributions.

Reportedly, an email was sent to employees last Friday from Paschal Ferreira, chief accounting officer of the REIT’s adviser, First Capital Real Estate Investments. The email discussed changes affecting employees of the REIT’s adviser and then outlined the problems with paying employees promptly.
