Report on the Combined Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Noble Raleigh Associates, LLC and Noble Raleigh Tenant, LLC (collectively, Raleigh Marriott City Center or the Company), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the combined financial statements.
Company’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements
The Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

Raleigh Marriott City Center
Notes to Combined Financial Statements (Information relating to June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the six months then ended is unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Organization and Operations
Noble Raleigh Associates, LLC (the Owner) and Noble Raleigh Tenant, LLC (the Tenant) (collectively, Raleigh Marriot City Center or the Company) were formed by Noble Raleigh GP, LLC, managing member, and Noble-LA Raleigh, LLLP for the purpose of acquiring, developing and operating the Raleigh Marriott City Center (the Hotel), a 400-room full-service hotel located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The accompanying financial statements are presented on a combined basis as the Owner and the Tenant are under common management and common ownership for all periods presented. The Owner owns the Hotel and leases it to the Tenant, which operates the Hotel.
The Hotel was sold to a third party on August 13, 2013 (Note 10).
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The combined financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Hotel by combining the accounts of the Owner and the Tenant. The rental income received by the Owner is eliminated against the lease expense of the Tenant. All other significant intercompany accounts and transactions have also been eliminated.
The accompanying combined financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All amounts included in the notes to the combined financial statements referring to June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012, or for the six months then ended, are unaudited.
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
Restricted cash: Restricted cash consists of cash held in escrow reserves to be utilized for the payment of future capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance.
Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are comprised of (a) amounts billed but uncollected for room rental and food and beverage sales and (b) amounts earned but unbilled for the aforementioned services until guests check out of the Hotel. Receivables are recorded at management’s estimate of the amounts that will ultimately be collected. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary by the Hotel as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 or June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Property and equipment: Costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, development and renovation of the Hotel are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets of 5 to 39 years. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company reviews the property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the Hotel may not be recoverable. If such conditions exist, management will estimate the future cash flows from operations and disposition of the Hotel. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets and the carrying amount of the assets are in excess of the fair value, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the Hotel’s estimated fair value would be recorded and an impairment loss would be recognized. No impairment of the carrying value of long-lived assets was recognized at December 31, 2012 and 2011 or June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Assets classified as held for sale are accounted for at the lower of the assets’ fair value less costs to sell or the assets’ carrying amount and depreciation ceases at the time the assets are classified as held for sale. Upon the sale or retirement of the Hotel, the cost and related accumulated depreciation will be removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss will be included in the statement of operations.
Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments consist of an interest rate cap. The Company has valued the interest rate cap and has determined that the value is not significant.
Deferred costs: Deferred loan costs represent costs to obtain mortgage financing and are amortized over the term of the loan agreement using a method which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization expense related to deferred loan costs was $463,233 and $149,790 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $190,697 and $272,877 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in interest expense on the accompanying combined statements of operations.
Deferred franchise fees represent hotel franchise application fees, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. Amortization expense related to deferred franchise costs was $1,667 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and $833 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, which is included in amortization expense on the accompanying combined statements of operations.
Deferred costs consisted of the following:
| | June 30, | | June 30, | | December 31, | | December 31, | |

| | | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 739,410 | | $ | 1,120,840 | | $ | 930,940 | | $ | 56,788 | |
Revenue recognition: Hotel revenues are recognized when the services are provided and items are sold. Revenues consist of room sales, food and beverage sales, and other department revenues such as telephone and gift shop. Sales and occupancy taxes collected from customers submitted to the taxing authorities are not recorded in revenue.
Advertising costs: The Hotel expenses all advertising costs, including production cost of print, radio, television and other advertisements as incurred. The franchise agreement provides for monthly marketing assessments and a majority of advertising costs are incurred by the franchisor. The Hotel incurred advertising costs of $95,928 and $56,832 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $65,915 and $53,104 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income taxes: No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes is that of the owners, rather than the Company. The Company is subject to the statutory requirements of the state in which it conducts business. Management of the Company identifies tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable taxing authority.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions. Tax returns filed by the Company are generally subject to examination of U.S. and state taxing authorizes for the years ended after December 31, 2009.
Use of estimates: The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

On July 6, 2004, the Owner and an affiliate of the Owner entered into a Purchase, Sale, Development and Funding Agreement with the City of Raleigh to develop a 400 room full-service hotel and a 15,000 square foot conference center integrated with the hotel in downtown Raleigh to enhance utilization of the city’s new convention center.
