These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined 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.
The Companies have determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companies internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Companies and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the following periods; ECRV Hanover Hospitality Leaseco, LLC for the period June 16, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007; ECRV Clinton Leaseco, LLC for the period March 08, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007; ECRV FM Leaseco, LLC for the period June 10, 2007 (date of inception) to December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
ECRV Hanover Hospitality Leaseco, LLC (“Hanover”) was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 16, 2006.
ECRV Clinton Leaseco, LLC (“Clinton”) was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 08, 2007.
ECRV FM Leaseco, LLC (“Absecon”) was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 10, 2007.
Hanover leases the Holiday Inn Express flag for a hotel located in Hanover, Maryland. Absecon leases the Marriott’s Fairfield Inn flag for a hotel located in Absecon, New Jersey. The Clinton is a private hotel with no franchise or licensing agreements. Under separate management agreements, all of the companies have engaged the services of Park Place Hospitality, Inc. (“PPHG”) to run the operations of the hotels. PPHG’s base of operations is located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Under each agreement, PPHG receives a 3.5% management fee based on gross income, and an incentive fee based on gross operating profit. In addition, under Absecon’s agreement, additional fees for managing property improvements’ (the PIP) equal to a fixed incentive fee of 10% to 15% of these costs.
Background and Related Parties
East Cost Realty Ventures, LLC (“ECRV”), is an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Section 1031 Tenant-in-Common Sponsor. ECRV is the sole limited liability company member of the Company. ECRV is owned 100% by Frederic Richardson. Mr. Richardson is the sole director, and President/CEO of the Companies.
In a tenants-in-common investment, multiple qualified property owners come together to purchase a large, institutional–grade property, however, not as limited partners in a partnership, but as individual owners. Each co-owner willing to assume the inherent risks and expenses associated with real estate investments, including the fluctuations in the real estate market, receives an individual deed at closing for his or her own undivided fractional interest in the entire real estate investment.
Tax-related guidance (ruling guidelines) on tenants in common (TIC) investments is provided for in Revenue Procedure 2002-22 issued by the IRS. The revenue procedure does not state substantive law; however, it sets forth the conditions under which the IRS will consider a request for a revenue ruling that an undivided fractional interest in rental real property is not an interest in an entity such as a partnership.
Each 1031 exchange tenants in common property owner has all of the same rights as a single owner and shares the proportionate share of risk, as well as net income or losses, related tax benefits, and growth or loss of market value with other 1031 exchange tenants in common investors.
An exchange into tenants in common property allows a qualified real estate investor to defer capital gains tax in accordance with tenants in common requirements.
ECRV is focused primarily on doing business within the hospitality industry. When ECRV purchases a hotel, in order for the purchase to remain qualified for 1031 exchange status, the exchange must be like-kind; i.e. of an identical nature to the presently owned property.
For the purchase of a hotel to qualify as a like-kind exchange, the operations must be separated from the real estate. The building owners then lease the space to the tenant; i.e. the operations, in this particular case the Companies. The operations pay base rent and additional rent and a master lease agreement are signed by the lessee (the Companies) and each of the individual owners of the building.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Companies do not anticipate a material impact upon adoption.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) changes the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions in the following way: Recognition with certain exceptions, of 100% of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non controlling interests of acquired businesses; measurement of all acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date; recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; capitalization of in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets acquired at acquisition date fair value; recognition of acquisition-related transaction costs as expense when incurred; recognition of acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals in acquisition accounting only if the criteria in Statement No. 146 are met as of the acquisition date; and recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance resulting from the business combination separately from the business combination as adjustments to income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will affect valuation of business acquisitions made in 2009 and forward.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
This provides entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without being required to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and the Companies are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will have on its financial position and results of operations once adopted.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment and is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3 concluded that the presentation of taxes imposed on revenue producing transactions (sales, use, value add, and excise taxes) on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy that should be disclosed. The Companies have adopted the gross basis for presentation for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, which did not have any impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Companies considered the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” specifically as it relates to the Companies sole managing member, East Coast Realty Ventures, LLC, along with other entities controlled by Mr. Richardson. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the accompanying financial statements only include the accounts of the Companies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Companies consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash or cash equivalents. Balances in bank accounts may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the companies’ maintained cash balances of $ 806,806 and $334,586 respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosure. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, primarily furniture and equipment, are reviewed monthly for impairment; i.e. the market value of the asset falls below the carrying value indicating that the carrying value of the asset is highly unlikely to be recovered. Impairment is necessary when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset.
Income Taxes
The Companies are single-member limited liability companies and as such are considered disregarded entities for tax purposes. All items of income, loss, deductions and credits are reflected on Mr. Richardson’s 2007 and 2006 personal income tax returns. Since a balance sheet is not required to be presented for income tax purposes, the book to tax adjustments have not been determined. The accompanying combined financial statements do not reflect any federal nor state income tax payable as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companies measure their financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Income and Expense Recognition
The Companies recognize income from the management of the properties in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, that is, when the services and products are provided for hotel guests and there is no uncertainty as to cash collections; i.e. upon receipt of cash/check payment or credit card from the hotel guests. The Companies recognize expenses related to the management of the properties in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, that is, when the expense is incurred. Park Place Hospitality, Inc. handles all the requisite accounting functions for the Companies.
Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expenses
The Companies incur sales and marketing expenses in conjunction with the production of promotional materials, and related travel costs. In accordance with the AICPA’s Statement of Position No. 93-7 “Reporting on Advertising Costs”, the Companies expense advertising and marketing costs as incurred or as the advertising takes place.
The accompanying combined financial statements reflect sales and marketing expenses for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and for the period June 16, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006 of $139,906 and $45,501 respectively.
Note 2. Furniture and Fixtures
Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method; i.e. original cost divided by the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is 5 years.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounting records, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Statement of Operations for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, furniture and fixtures consisted of the following:
