NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
( 1 ) | Organization and business |
The Company was organized in the State of Wisconsin on June 8, 2005 to purchase, own, and operate a hotel and related facilities known as the Crowne Plaza Ferncroft Resort (the “Hotel”) located in Danvers, Massachusetts. In addition, the Company designed, developed, constructed, operates, and owns a waterpark adjacent to the Hotel. The Hotel caters to both group and individual guests, and maintains approximately 30,000 square feet of meeting space along with a full-service restaurant. The Hotel is managed by Sage Client 289, LLC (the “Manager”). The waterpark opened in May 2007.
( 2 ) | Summary of significant accounting policies |
Basis of accounting
| The Company's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting, and its fiscal year coincides with the calendar year. |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions are determining the loss on impairment of property and equipment and determining the useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Fair value measurements
The Company reports all financial assets and liabilities at fair value by utilizing the following three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| · | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| · | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and are significant to the fair value measurement. |
WPH BOSTON, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
( 2 ) | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand, bank checking accounts and temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, the Company’s bank account balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of the financial institutions with which it invests and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Restricted cash
The Company is required to keep 3% of revenues in an FF&E Reserve Fund in anticipation of future capital expenditures. Management has elected, and the Manager has approved, to defer the reservation of these funds.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables from guests. Receivables are stated at estimated net realizable values and are reduced by an allowance for losses. The Company does not accrue finance and interest charges. Accounts receivable are assessed for collectability on a periodic basis, and all receivables deemed uncollectible are written off. Historically, credit losses have not been significant. The Company accounts for credit card revenues as receivables until paid in cash. The allowance for losses was $11,273 and $10,501 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories primarily consisting of food and beverage items, as well as consumable supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Market is based upon realizable value less an allowance for selling expenses and normal gross profit.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Assets | | Useful Lives |
| | |
Hotel | | 39 years |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | | 5-15 years |
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; betterments are capitalized. Total depreciation expense charged to operations was $2,222,871 and $2,280,622 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
( 2 ) | Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
Long-lived assets
The Company assesses the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that such amounts may not be recoverable from future operations. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may be impaired, the Company will make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or utilizing the market approach. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, including the sales price, less costs to dispose of the asset.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company conducted an impairment evaluation which resulted in a loss on impairment of property and equipment of $22,581,982. The impairment charge represents the difference between the carrying value of the assets and the estimated fair value based on estimated future discounted cash flows. The estimated fair value was based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), more specifically, the Company’s evaluation of discounted cash flows adjusted for risk and uncertainty.
Franchise fees
The Company paid a franchise fee to Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. ("Starwood") in order to use the Sheraton brand name. The fee was in the amount of $60,000. The Company was amortizing the fee over the 20 year period of the franchise agreement. The Company amortized the franchise fee using the straight-line method. The agreement was terminated in 2009 subject to the termination clause as defined in the agreement.
In November 2009, the Company paid a franchise fee to Intercontinental Hotels Group (“IHG”) in order to use the Crowne Plaza brand name. The fee was in the amount of $50,000. The Company amortizes the fee over the 20 year period of the franchise agreement. The Company amortizes the franchise agreement using the straight-line method.
The Company paid a franchise fee to the Starbucks Corporation, ("Starbucks") in order to operate a Starbucks store at the Hotel. The fee was in the amount of $15,000. The Starbucks store commenced operations in February 2008 and the Company began amortizing the franchise fee at that time. The Company incurred an additional $15,000 in franchise fees during the year ended December 31, 2009 as a result of converting to a different hotel franchise. The Company amortized the franchise fee using the straight-line method. The agreement was terminated in 2010 subject to the terms of the franchise agreement.
The Company paid a franchise fee to A&W Restaurants, Inc ("A&W") in order to use the A&W brand name. The fee was in the amount of $5,000. The Company amortizes the fee over the 5 year period of the franchise agreement. The Company amortizes the franchise fee using the straight-line method.

Franchise fees (continued)
The Company paid a franchise fee to Pizza Hut, Inc ("Pizza Hut") in order to use the Pizza Hut brand name. The fee was in the amount of $15,000. The Company amortizes the fee over the 5 year period of the franchise agreement. The Company amortizes the franchise agreement using the straight-line method.
Loan fees
Loan fees are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related loan for which the fees were incurred, which approximates the effective interest method.
Revenue recognition and advance deposits
The Company recognizes revenue as services are provided. Advance deposits for facility and room rentals are deferred and recognized as revenue when services are provided.
Income taxes
Income taxes are not provided for in the accompanying financial statements because the profits or losses of the Company are included in the tax returns of the members. Certain differences exist between the results of operations for financial and tax reporting purposes. The Company consults with third party consultants to review its current tax filings and evaluate for uncertain tax positions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007.
Sales taxes
The Company reports sales tax on a net basis. Accordingly, sales tax is excluded from revenue.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $230,000 and $300,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The intangible assets are summarized in the following table:

LIGHTSTONE VALUE PLUS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST II, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On February 17, 2011, Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc.’s (the “Company”), Sponsor and Advisor, the Lightstone Group (the “Buyer”), made a successful auction bid to acquire a 366-room, eight-story, full-service hotel (the “Hotel”) and a 65,000 square foot water park (the “Water Park”), collectively, the “CP Boston Property”, located at 50 Ferncroft Road, Danvers, Massachusetts (part of the Boston “Metropolitan Statistical Area”) from WPH Boston, LLC (the “Seller”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.1 million, excluding closing and other related transaction costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions (the “PSA”) dated February 17, 2011, between the Buyer and the Seller, the Buyer made an earnest money deposit of approximately $1.0 million on February 18, 2011 representing 10% of the aggregate purchase price.
On March 4, 2011, the Buyer offered the Company and its other sponsored public program, the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT I”), through their respective operating partnerships, the opportunity to purchase, at cost, joint venture ownership interests in LVP CP Boston Holdings, LLC (“the CP Boston Joint Venture”) which will acquire the CP Boston Property through LVP CP Boston, LLC (“LVP CP Boston”), a wholly owned subsidiary, subject to the Buyer obtaining the Seller’s consent which was obtained on March 21, 2011. The Company’s Board of Directors and Lightstone REIT I’s Board of Directors approved 20% and 80% participations, respectively, in the CP Boston Joint Venture.
On March 21, 2011, the CP Boston Joint Venture closed on the acquisition of the CP Boston Property and the Company’s share of the aggregate purchase price was approximately $2.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, the Company’s Advisor received an acquisition fee equal to 0.95% of the acquisition price, or approximately $19,000. The Company’s portion of the acquisition was funded with cash.
The CP Boston Joint Venture established a taxable subsidiary, LVP CP Boston Holding Corp., which has entered into an operating lease agreement for the CP Boston Property. At closing, LVP CP Boston Holding Corp. also entered into an interim management agreement with Sage Client 289, LLC, an unrelated third party, for the management of the Hotel and the Water Park.
The CP Boston Property was purchased “as is” and it is currently expected that approximately $10.0 million (of which approximately $2.0 million is the Company’s proportionate share) of additional renovations and improvements will be funded proportionately by the owners of CP Boston Joint Venture subsequent to the acquisition. Management of the Company believes the CP Boston Property is adequately insured.
The Seller was not affiliated with the Company or its affiliates.
The capitalization rate for the acquisition of the CP Boston Property during 2011 was 9.0%. The Company calculates the capitalization rate for real property by dividing the net operating income of the property by the purchase price of the property, excluding costs. For purposes of this calculation, net operating income is determined using the projected or budgeted net operating income of the property based upon then-current projections. Additionally, net operating income is all gross revenues from the property less all operating expenses, including property taxes and management fees but excluding depreciation and amortization.
Our interest in the CP Boston Joint Venture is a non-managing interest. All distributions from the CP Boston Joint Venture will be made on a pro rata basis in proportion to each member’s equity interest percentage. We account for our ownership interest in the CP Boston Joint Venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting. We commenced allocating our portion of profit and cash distributions beginning as of March 21, 2011 with respect to our membership interest of 20%.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is presented as if the Company’s acquisition of the CP Boston Property had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented. The acquisition of the CP Boston Property is already reflected in the Company’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011.
