Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 10, 2007, Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with regard to the January 4, 2007 acquisition of a joint-venture interest (the “Venture”) as described in the Current Report. The Venture was formed to acquire a sub-leasehold interest in a ground lease to an office building located at 1407 Broadway, New York, New York (the “Property”). This Amendment to the Current Report includes financial information relating to the Property.
Material factors considered by the Registrant in assessing the Venture for investment included the Property’s location, demographics, quality of tenants, duration of in-place leases, scheduled rent increases, strong occupancy, the fact that the overall rental rate at the Property is comparable to the market rate for similar properties, the potential for a return from the redevelopment and repositioning of the Property and current strong demand for office space and other favorable market factors. We believe the Property is well located, has acceptable roadway and public transportation access and is well maintained. The Property is subject to competition from similar properties within its market area, and economic performance could be affected by changes in local economic conditions.

To the Member of
LVP 1407 Broadway LLC
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of 1407 Broadway Sub-Leasehold Interest (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2005. This statement is the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement is free from material misstatement. An audit includes 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 Property’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in this statement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for inclusion in Form 8-K/A of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”), as described in Note 1. This presentation is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses as described in Note 1, of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND
CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
DECEMBER 31, 2005
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The 1407 Broadway Sub-Leasehold Interest (the “Property”) is a sub-leasehold interest in a ground lease to a 42 story office building located at 1407 Broadway, New York, NY. The building was built in 1952, features approximately 915,000 rentable square feet, and is occupied by approximately 300 tenants engaged generally in the female apparel business. The ground lease, dated as of January 14, 1954, provides for multiple renewal rights, with the last renewal period expiring on December 31, 2048. The sub-leasehold interest runs concurrently with this ground lease.
The Property was acquired on January 4, 2007 by 1407 Broadway Real Estate LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of 1407 Broadway Mezz II LLC (“Owner”). LVP 1407 Broadway LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lightstone Value Plus REIT LP, the Registrant’s operating partnership, holds a 49% equity interest in Owner, and Lightstone 1407 Manager LLC, an affiliated entity owned by David Lichtenstein, Chairman of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, and its Chief Executive Officer and President, holds the remaining 51% equity interest in Owner.
Presented herein are the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses related to the operation of the Property.
The accompanying statements of revenues and certain operating expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with the provision of Article 3.14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC. The statements of revenues and certain operating expenses include the historical revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property, exclusive of items that may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property, such as interest income, mortgage interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and certain corporate expenses.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Revenues related to operating leases are recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term, regardless of when payments are due. The base rent stated in the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses includes straight-line rental revenues of approximately $990,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $446,000 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
| b. | Escalations and Recoveries from Tenants |
Certain operating expenses incurred in the operation of the Property are recoverable from the tenants. The recoverable amounts are based on actual expenses incurred. Expense recoveries are recognized as revenue in the period in which the applicable costs are incurred.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to revenue recognition and the ability to collect trade accounts receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Property is leased to tenants under long-term operating leases with expiration dates through 2016. The leases provide for annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, as defined, and the pass-through of charges for electrical usage.
Expected future minimum annual rentals to be received from tenants under non-cancelable operating leases, excluding renewal options, in effect at December 31, 2005, were as follows:
| | | |
2006 | | $ | 31,915,000 | |
2007 | | | 29,687,000 | |
2008 | | | 21,964,000 | |
2009 | | | 14,210,000 | |
2010 | | | 8,288,000 | |
Thereafter | | | 15,175,000 | |
| | $ | 121,239,000 | |
The total expected future minimum rentals presented above do not include amounts that may be received under leases for escalations and recoveries from tenants for expenses and other charges.
The Property was approximately 88% occupied at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 (unaudited).

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2006
| a. | Represents our historical balance sheet as of September 30, 2006. Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported financial statements to conform to the pro forma presentation. |
| b. | Reflects pro forma adjustments for the acquisition of Oakview Retail Center on December 21, 2006 as though the acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2006. The investment was funded with offering proceeds from the sale of our common stock. |
| c. | Reflects our purchase of a 49% interest in the Venture as though the investment had occurred on September 30, 2006, including the assumed sale of a sufficient number of shares needed to fund the cash portion of our investment in the Venture. The aggregate acquisition price for a 49% interest in the Venture was approximately $13.0 million, exclusive of an acquisition fee paid to our Advisor of approximately $1.6 million. |
The acquisition of the Office Property was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The total acquisition cost was allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting of a sub-leasehold interest in an office building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of existing tenant relationships and the value of above and below market in-place leases, based in each case on their fair values.
The fair value of the tangible assets was determined by valuing the Office Property as if it were vacant, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determined the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods to determine the replacement cost of the tangible assets.
In determining the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of the Office Property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values were recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the initial lease term.
The aggregate value of in-place leases was determined by evaluating various factors, including an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions and similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management included real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimated costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the remaining lease terms ranging from approximately one to 10 years. Optional renewal periods were not considered.
