	Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the "Lightstone REIT II") is a Maryland corporation formed on April 28, 2008, which has qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes since its taxable year ending December 31, 2009. The Lightstone REIT II was formed primarily for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial and residential real estate properties located principally in North America, as well as other real estate-related securities, such as collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage and mezzanine loans secured, directly or indirectly, by the same types of properties which it may acquire directly.

	The Lightstone REIT II is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and substantially all of its current and future business is and will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LP (the "Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership formed on April 30, 2008.

	The Lightstone REIT II and the Operating Partnership are collectively referred to as the "Company" and the use of "we," "our," "us" or similar pronouns refers to the Lightstone REIT II, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in which such pronoun is used.

	The Company's sponsor is David Lichtenstein ("Lichtenstein"), who does business as The Lightstone Group (the "Sponsor") and majority owns the limited liability company of that name. The Company's advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC (the "Advisor"), which is wholly owned by our Sponsor.

	The Company's registration statement on Form S-11, pursuant to which it offered to sell up to 51,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume discounts, (exclusive of 6,500,000 shares which were available pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRIP") at an initial purchase price of $9.50 per share and 255,000 shares which were reserved for issuance under its Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan), was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 on February 17, 2009, and on April 24, 2009 the Company commenced its initial public offering of common stock (the "Offering"). The Offering, which terminated on August 15, 2012, raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $49.8 million from the sale of approximately 5.0 million shares of common stock. After allowing for the payment of approximately $5.2 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $4.5 million in organization and other offering expenses, the Offering generated aggregate net proceeds of approximately $40.1 million. In addition, through August 15, 2012 (the termination date of the Offering), the Company had issued approximately 0.3 million shares of common stock under its DRIP, representing approximately $2.9 million of additional proceeds.

	The Company's registration statement on Form S-11 (the "Follow-On Offering"), pursuant to which it is offering to sell up to 30,000,000 shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume discounts (exclusive of 2,500,000 shares available pursuant to its DRIP at an initial purchase price of $9.50 per share and 255,000 shares reserved for issuance under its Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan) was declared effective by SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 on September 27, 2012. The Follow-On Offering, which terminated on September 27,2014 raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $127.5 million from the sale of approximately 12.8 million shares of common stock. After allowing for the payment of approximately $11.5 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $3.9 million in organization and other offering expenses, the Follow-On Offering generated aggregate net proceeds of approximately $112.1 million.

	Our DRIP Registration Statement on Form S-3D was filed and became effective under the Securities Act of 1933 on September 26, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, 6.0 million shares remain available for issuance under our DRIP.

	Effective September 27, 2012, Orchard Securities, LLC ("Orchard Securities") became the Dealer Manager of the Company's Follow-On Offering.

	As of September 30, 2014, the Advisor owned 20,000 shares of common stock which were issued on May 20, 2008 for $200, or $10.00 per share. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, the Company had reached the minimum offering under its Offering by receiving subscriptions of its common shares, representing gross offering proceeds of approximately $6.5 million, and effective October 1, 2009 investors were admitted as stockholders and the Operating Partnership commenced operations. Through September 27, 2014(the termination date of the Follow-On Offering), cumulative gross offering proceeds of $177.3 million were released to the Company. The Company invested the proceeds received from the Offering and from the Advisor in the Operating Partnership, and as a result, held a 99.9% general partnership interest as of September 30, 2014 in the Operating Partnership's common units.

	The Company's shares of common stock are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of its independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not intend to list its shares at this time. The Company does not anticipate that there would be any market for its shares of common stock until they are listed for trading. In the event the Company does not obtain listing prior to the tenth anniversary of the completion or termination of its Offering, its charter requires that the Board of Directors must either (i) seek stockholder approval of an extension or amendment of this listing deadline; or (ii) seek stockholder approval to adopt a plan of liquidation of the corporation.

	Noncontrolling Interests

	The noncontrolling interests consist of (i) parties of the Company that hold units in the Operating Partnership and (ii) certain interests in LVP Metairie JV LLC, LVP East Rutherford LLC, LVP TPS Little Rock Holdings LLC and LVP TPS Fayetteville Holdings LLC which are not owned by the Company.

	Partners of Operating Partnership

	On May 20, 2008, the Advisor contributed $2 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner units in the Operating Partnership. The limited partner has the right to convert operating partnership units into cash or, at the option of the Company, an equal number of common shares of the Company, as allowed by the limited partnership agreement.

	Lightstone SLP II LLC, which is wholly owned by the Company's Sponsor committed to purchase subordinated profits interests in the Operating Partnership ("Subordinated Profits Interests") at a cost of $100,000 per unit for each $1.0 million in subscriptions up to ten percent of the proceeds from the primary shares under the Offering and the Follow-On Offering on a semi-annual basis beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Lightstone SLP II LLC had the option to purchase the Subordinated Profits Interests with either cash or an interest in real property of equivalent value.

	From our inception through September 30, 2014, the Company's Sponsor has made cash contributions of $2.4 million and elected to contribute equity interests totaling 48.6% in Brownmill, LLC ("Brownmill"), which were valued at $4.8 million, in exchange for a total of 72.0 Subordinated Profits Interests with an aggregate value of $7.2 million. See Note 4 for additional information on Brownmill.

	Basis of Presentation

	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of September 30, 2014, the Lightstone REIT II had a 99.9% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. 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 unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

	Reclassifications

	Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

	New Accounting Pronouncements

	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update providing new guidance on the requirements for reporting a discontinued operation. The update changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The adoption of this standards update affects presentation only and, as such, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The update applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services and is effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and companies have the choice to apply the update either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the update at the date of initial application (January 1, 2017) and not adjusting comparative information. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

	3	Acquisitions

	Holiday Inn - Opelika

	On April 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of an 87-room select service hotel located in Opelika, Alabama (the "Holiday Inn — Opelika"), from an unrelated third party. The Holiday Inn — Opelika operates as a "Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites" pursuant to a 15-year franchise agreement with the International Hotel Group.

	The aggregate purchase price for the Holiday Inn — Opelika was approximately $6.9 million. The acquisition was funded with cash. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, our advisor received an acquisition fee equal to 0.95% of the contractual purchase price of $6.9 million, or approximately $66.

	The acquisition of the Holiday Inn — Opelika was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the Company treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of the Holiday Inn — Opelika has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. There was no contingent consideration related to this acquisition. Approximately $1.0 million was allocated to land and improvements, $5.3 million was allocated to building and improvements, and $0.6 million was allocated to furniture and fixtures and other assets.

	The aggregate capitalization rate for the Holiday Inn — Opelika as of the closing of the acquisition was approximately 9.8%. We calculate the capitalization rate for a real property by dividing 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 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.

	Aloft - Tucson

	On April 8, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of a 154-room select service hotel located in Tucson, Arizona (the "Aloft — Tucson"), from an unrelated third party. The Aloft — Tucson operates as an "Aloft" pursuant to a 20-year franchise agreement with Sheraton LLC, or Starwood.

	The aggregate purchase price for the Aloft - Tucson was approximately $19.0 million. The acquisition was funded with cash. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, our advisor received an acquisition fee equal to 0.95% of the contractual purchase price of $19.0 million, or approximately $181.

	The acquisition of the Aloft — Tucson was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the Company treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of the Aloft — Tucson has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. There was no contingent consideration related to this acquisition. Approximately $1.9 million was allocated to land and improvements, $14.7 million was allocated to building and improvements, and $2.4 million was allocated to furniture and fixtures and other assets.

	The aggregate capitalization rate for the Aloft — Tucson as of the closing of the acquisition was approximately 8.8%. We calculate the capitalization rate for a real property by dividing 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 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.

The Company has access to a margin loan from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of the Company's marketable securities. The margin loan is collateralized by the marketable securities in the Company's account. The amounts available to the Company under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in its account. The margin loan bears interest at Libor plus 0.85% (1.00% as of September 30, 2014).

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company's intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment's amortized cost basis. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the Company's equity securities and corporate bonds and were classified as Level 1 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

	In addition to certain related party payments made to the Dealer Manager (see Note 6 for additional information), the Company also has agreements with the Advisor and Lightstone Value Plus REIT Management LLC (the "Property Manager") to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by these entities and other affiliated entities. The Company's ability to secure financing and subsequent real estate operations are dependent upon its Advisor, Property Manager and their affiliates to perform such services as provided in these agreements.

	The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to the Company's Advisor and Property Manager for the periods indicated:

	Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement, our Advisor is entitled to receive an asset management fee equal to 0.95% of our average invested assets, as defined. The asset management fee is payable quarterly and based on balances as of the end of each month in the quarterly period. Commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Advisor has elected to waive or reduce its quarterly asset management fee to the extent our non-GAAP measure modified funds from operations available, or MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association, or IPA, for the preceding twelve months period ending on the last day of the current quarter is less than the distributions declared with respect to the same twelve month period. As a result, asset management fees of $206 and $533 were waived by the Advisor during three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively and asset management fees of $128 and $251 were waived by the Advisor during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Legal Proceedings

	From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes.

	On July 13, 2011, JF Capital Advisors, filed a lawsuit against The Lightstone Group, LLC, the Company, and Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York seeking payment for services alleged to have been rendered, and to be rendered prospectively, under theories of unjust enrichment and breach of contract. The plaintiff had a limited business arrangement with The Lightstone Group, LLC; that arrangement has been terminated. We filed a motion to dismiss the action and, on January 31, 2012, the Supreme Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety, but granted the plaintiff leave to replead two limited causes of action.

	The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 18, 2012, bringing limited claims under theories of unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. On November 21, 2012, the court dismissed this second complaint in part, leaving only $164 (plus interest) in potential damages. The plaintiff appealed this decision and Lightstone cross-appealed arguing that the case should have been dismissed in full. The appeals court denied plaintiff's motion and granted defendants' motion, as a result of which all claims were dismissed on March 25, 2014. The plaintiff filed a motion requesting the right to re-appeal to the Court of Appeals, which was granted on August 1, 2014. Lightstone continues to believe that these claims to be without merit and will defend the case vigorously.

	While any proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, management currently believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome with respect to the aforementioned legal proceedings is remote. No provision for loss has been recorded in connection therewith.

	As of the date hereof, the Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of September 30, 2014, the Lightstone REIT II had a 99.9% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. 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 unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

	New Accounting Pronouncements

	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update providing new guidance on the requirements for reporting a discontinued operation. The update changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The adoption of this standards update affects presentation only and, as such, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The update applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services and is effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and companies have the choice to apply the update either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the update at the date of initial application (January 1, 2017) and not adjusting comparative information. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
