1. Structure

Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT II”), which was formerly known as Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. before September 16, 2021, is a Maryland corporation formed on April 28, 2008, which elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009.

Lightstone REIT II is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and substantially all of its current and future business will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2022, Lightstone REIT II held an approximately 99% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership’s common units.

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

The Company has and will continue to seek to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate assets and real estate-related investments, including hotels, other commercial and/or residential properties, primarily located in the United States. All such properties may be acquired and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company may also originate or acquire mortgage loans secured by real estate. Although the Company expects that most of its investments will be of these types, it may invest in whatever types of real estate-related investments that it believes are in its best interests.

The Company currently has one operating segment. As of September 30, 2022, we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 12 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,582 rooms, (ii) held an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill, LLC (the “Brownmill Joint Venture”), an affiliated entity that owns two retail properties, and (iii) held an unconsolidated 50.0% membership interest in LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (the “Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture”), an affiliated real estate entity that owns and operates a 183-room limited service hotel located in Long Island City, New York (the “Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City”). The Company accounts for its membership interests in the Brownmill Joint Venture and the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2022, seven of the Company’s consolidated limited service hotels are held in a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) formed between us and Lightstone Value Plus REIT, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT I”), a related party REIT also sponsored by The Lightstone Group, LLC. The Company and Lightstone I have 97.5% and 2.5% membership interests in the Joint Venture, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, certain of the Company’s consolidated hotels also have ownership interests held by unrelated minority owners. The membership interests of Lightstone I and the unrelated minority owners are accounted for as noncontrolling interests.

The Company’s advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC (the “Advisor”), which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein. On May 20, 2008, the Advisor contributed $2 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner common units in the Operating Partnership. The Advisor also owns 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Shares”) which were issued on May 20, 2008 for $200, or $10.00 per share. Mr. Lichtenstein also is a majority owner of the equity interests of the Lightstone Group, LLC. The Lightstone Group, LLC served as the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”) during its initial public offering (the “Offering”) and follow-on offering (the “Follow-on Offering”, and collectively, “the Offerings”), which terminated on August 15, 2012 and September 27, 2014, respectively. The Advisor, pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement, together with the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), is primarily responsible for making investment decisions on behalf of the Company and managing its day-to-day operations. Through his ownership and control of the Lightstone Group, LLC, Mr. Lichtenstein is the indirect owner and manager of Lightstone SLP II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Associate General Partner”), which has subordinated profits interests in the Operating Partnership (“Subordinated Profits Interests”) which were acquired for aggregate consideration of $17.7 million in connection with the Company’s Offerings. Mr. Lichtenstein also acts as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, he exerts influence over but does not control Lightstone REIT II or the Operating Partnership.

The Company does not have any employees. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of the Company’s assets.

(Unaudited)

The Company’s Advisor has certain affiliates which may manage the properties the Company acquires. However, the Company also contracts with other unaffiliated third-party property managers, principally for the management of its hospitality properties.

The Company’s Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its Common Shares 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 Common Shares until they are listed for trading. In the event the Company does not obtain listing prior to September 27, 2024, which is the tenth anniversary of the termination of its Follow-On 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

Limited Partner

On May 20, 2008, the Advisor contributed $2 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner common units in the Operating Partnership. The Advisor has the right to convert limited partner common units into cash or, at the Company’s option, an equal number of Common Shares.

Associate General Partner

In connection with the Company’s Offerings, which concluded on September 27, 2014, the Associate General Partner contributed (i) cash of $12.9 million and (ii) equity interests totaling 48.6% in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which were valued at $4.8 million, to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 177.0 Subordinated Profits Interests in the Operating Partnership with an aggregate value of $17.7 million.

As the indirect majority owner of the Associate General Partner, Mr. Lichtenstein is the beneficial owner of a 99% interest in such Subordinated Profits Interests and thus receives an indirect benefit from any distributions made in respect thereof.

These Subordinated Profits Interests may entitle the Associate General Partner to a portion of any regular and liquidation distributions that the Company makes to its stockholders, but only after its stockholders have received a stated preferred return. There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Since the Company’s inception through September 30, 2022, the cumulative distributions declared and paid on the Subordinated Profits Interests were $7.9 million. Any future distributions on the Subordinated Profits Interests will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return, as described above.

See Note 9 for additional information with respect to the Subordinated Profits Interests.

Other Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Other noncontrolling interests consist of the (i) membership interest in the Joint Venture held by Lightstone I and (ii) membership interests held by minority owners in certain of the Company’s hotels.

The Advisor and its affiliates and Associate General Partner are related parties of the Company. Certain of these entities are entitled to compensation and fees for services related to the investment, management and disposition of the Company’s assets during its acquisition, operational and liquidation stages. The compensation levels during the Company’s acquisition and operational stages are based on the cost of acquired properties/investments and the annual revenue earned from such properties/investments, and other such fees and reimbursements as outlined in each of the respective agreements. See Note 9 for additional information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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, 2022, Lightstone REIT II had a 99% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

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, 2021. The unaudited interim consolidated 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 REIT II, Inc. and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

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 and investments in other real estate entities and depreciable lives of long-lived assets. 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 consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, the Company engages in certain activities through wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). As such, it is subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and it remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the ongoing development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots. Accordingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future.

The extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, room demand and rental rates for the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated hotels significantly declined starting in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic; and while these metrics have improved since then (beginning late 2020 and continuing through the third quarter of 2022); room demand and rental rates still remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels for some of the Company’s hotels. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the Company’s operations, financial position and cash flow; and while the severity of the impact has lessened considerably, the Company may experience a negative impact for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot currently estimate if and when room demand and rental rates will return to historical pre-pandemic levels for all of its hotels.

The Company also has an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which owns two retail properties located in New Jersey that are subject to similar risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Brownmill Joint Venture’s retail properties are negatively impacted from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for an extended period because its tenants are unable to pay their rent, the Company’s equity earnings and the carrying value of its investment in the Brownmill Joint Venture could be materially and adversely impacted.

In light of the past, present and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating results of its hotels, the Company has taken various actions to preserve its liquidity, including the following: 

● The Company has implemented cost reduction strategies for all of its hotels, leading to reductions in certain operating expenses and capital expenditures.

● During 2020 and 2021, the Company obtained certain amendments to its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). See Note 6 for additional information.

● In April 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, the Company’s consolidated hotels received an aggregate of $3.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, from loans provided under the federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loans”). See Note 7 for additional information.

● Previously in March 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions on the Company’s Common Shares and the Subordinated Profits Interests and has not declared any distributions since the suspension. Additionally, in March 2020, the Board of Directors approved the suspension of all redemptions under the Company’s shareholder repurchase program (the “SRP”). Subsequently on May 10, 2021, the Board of Directors partially reopened the SRP to allow, subject to various conditions, for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death or hardship. See Note 8 for additional information.

● During 2020 and 2021, the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture obtained various amendments to its non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. See Note 4 for additional information.

The Company believes that these actions, along with its available on hand cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as its intention to seek to extend or refinance the Revolving Credit Facility on or before its maturity date of September 15, 2023, will provide it with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed and determined that recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

3. Disposition Activities

Disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles

On March 22, 2022, the Company completed the disposition of a 130-room hotel located in Paso Robles, California, which operates as a Courtyard by Marriott (the “Courtyard – Paso Robles”), to an unaffiliated third party, for a contractual sales price of $32.3 million. In connection with the transaction, the Company also defeased the Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan with an outstanding principal balance of $13.4 million at a total cost of $14.1 million and its net proceeds after closing and other costs, pro rations and working capital adjustments were $17.8 million. In connection with the disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of $7.6 million during the first quarter of 2022.

Disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock

On July 14, 2022, the Company completed the disposition of a 92-room hotel located in Little Rock, Arkansas, which operates as a TownePlace Suites (the “TownePlace Suites - Little Rock”) to an unaffiliated third party, for a contractual sales price of $5.9 million. In connection with the disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock, the Company used proceeds of $4.6 million to make a principal paydown on the Revolving Credit Facility and its net proceeds after closing and other costs, pro rations and working capital adjustments were $1.2 million. In connection with the disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2022.

The dispositions of the Courtyard – Paso Robles and the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since the dispositions did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of the Courtyard – Paso Robles and the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock are reflected in the Company’s results from continuing operations for all periods presented through their respective dates of disposition.

Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture

On March 27, 2018, the Company and Lightstone Value Plus REIT III, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT III”), a related party REIT also sponsored by the Company’s Sponsor, acquired, through the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture, a 183-room, limited-service hotel located at 29-21 41^st Avenue, Long Island City, New York (the “Hilton Garden Inn - Long Island City”) from an unrelated third party, for aggregate consideration of $60.0 million, which consisted of $25.0 million of cash and $35.0 million of proceeds from a loan from a financial institution (the “Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage”), excluding closing and other related transaction costs. The Company and Lightstone REIT III each have a 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture.

The Company paid $12.9 million for a 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture. The Company’s membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture is a co-managing interest. The Company accounts for its membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting because it exerts significant influence over but does not control the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture. All capital contributions and distributions of earnings from the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture are made on a pro rata basis in proportion to each member’s equity interest percentage. Any distributions in excess of earnings from the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture are made to the members pursuant to the terms of the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture’s operating agreement. The Company commenced recording its allocated portion of profit/loss and cash distributions beginning as of March 27, 2018 with respect to its membership interest of 50.0% in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture.

On June 2, 2020, the Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage was amended to provide for (i) the deferral of the six monthly debt service payments aggregating $0.9 million for the period from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 until March 27, 2023; (ii) a 100 bps reduction in the interest rate spread to LIBOR plus 2.15%, subject to a 4.03% floor, for the six-month period from September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture pre-funding $1.2 million into a cash collateral reserve account to cover the six monthly debt service payments due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and (iv) waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods before June 30, 2021.

Additionally, on April 7, 2021, the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the lender further amended the terms of the Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage to provide for (i) the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture to make a principal paydown of $1.7 million; (ii) the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture to fund an additional $0.7 million into the cash collateral reserve account; (iii) a waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods through September 30, 2021 with a phased-in gradual return to the full financial covenant requirements over the quarter-end periods beginning December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022; (iv) an 11-month interest-only payment period from May 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022; and (v) certain restrictions on distributions to the members of the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture during the interest-only payment period.

5. Marketable Securities, Fair Value Measurements and Margin Loan

Marketable Securities

The following is a summary of the Company’s available for sale securities as of the dates indicated:

Schedule of available-for-sale Securities Reconciliation
	As of September 30, 2022
	Adjusted Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
Marketable Securities:

	Adjusted Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Value
Marketable Securities:
Equity Securities	$	6,718	$	59	$	-	$	6,777

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s marketable securities were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The fair values of the Company’s equity securities are measured using readily available quoted prices for these securities; however, the markets for these securities are not active.

The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities, which would require revised valuations that are recognized at fair value.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company, through certain subsidiaries, has a non-recourse Revolving Credit Facility with a financial institution. The Revolving Credit Facility provides a line of credit of up to $140.0 million pursuant to which Company may designate its hotel properties as collateral that allow borrowings up to a 65.0% loan-to-value ratio subject to also meeting certain financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for monthly interest-only payments and the entire principal balance is due upon its scheduled expiration.

Except as discussed below, the Revolving Credit Facility, which was scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, bore interest at LIBOR + 3.15%, subject to a 4.00% floor. However, on September 6, 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended and is now scheduled to mature on September 15, 2023. In connection with the amendment of the Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate was prospectively changed to AMERIBOR + 3.15%, subject to a 4.00% floor.

On June 2, 2020, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to provide for (i) the deferral of the six monthly debt service payments aggregating $2.6 million from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, until November 15, 2021; (ii) a 100 bps reduction in the interest rate spread to LIBOR plus 2.15%, subject to a 3.00% floor, for the six-month period from September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) the Company pre-funding $2.5 million into a cash collateral reserve account to cover the six monthly debt service payments which were due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and (iv) a waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods before June 30, 2021.

Subsequently, on March 31, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility was further amended providing for (i) the Company to pledge the membership interests in another hotel as additional collateral within 45 days, (ii) the Company to fund an additional $2.5 million into the cash collateral reserve account; (iii) a waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods through September 30, 2021 with a phased-in gradual return to the full financial covenant requirements over the quarter-end periods beginning December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2023; (iv) an extension of the maturity date from May 17, 2021 to September 15, 2022 upon the pledge of the additional collateral (which was subsequently completed on May 13, 2021); (v) one additional one-year extension option at the lender’s sole discretion; and (vi) certain limitations and restrictions on asset sales and additional borrowings related to the pledged collateral.

On July 14, 2022, in connection with the disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock, the Company used proceeds of $4.6 million to make a principal paydown on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, all of the Company’s 12 majority owned and consolidated hotel properties were pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding principal balance was $118.5 million. Additionally, no additional borrowings were available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022. The Company currently intends to seek to extend or refinance the Revolving Credit Facility on or before its maturity date of September 15, 2023, however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in such endeavors.

Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles on December 14, 2017, it assumed the Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan. The Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan was scheduled to mature in November 2023, bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.49% and required monthly principal and interest payments of $79 with a balloon payment of $13.0 million due at maturity. On March 22, 2022, the Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan was fully defeased in connection with the disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles (See Note 3) and the Company was legally released from any ongoing obligation.

Principal Maturities

The following table, based on the terms of the mortgages, sets forth their aggregate estimated contractual principal maturities, including balloon payments due at maturity, as of September 30, 2022:

Pursuant to the Company’s loan agreements, escrows in the amount of $0.2 million and $1.8 million were held in restricted cash accounts as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Such escrows will be released in accordance with the applicable loan agreements for payments of real estate taxes, debt service payments, insurance and capital improvement transactions, as required. Certain of our debt agreements also contain clauses providing for prepayment penalties. The Company is currently in compliance with respect to all of its financial debt covenants.

7. Notes Payable

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company, through various subsidiaries (each such entity, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), received aggregate funding of $3.7 million through PPP Loans originated under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

The PPP Loans each have a term of five years and provide for an interest rate of 1.00%. The payment of principal and interest on the PPP Loan is deferred until the day that the forgiven amount is remitted to the lender (approximately five months after the forgiveness application is submitted to the lender, unless the Borrower appeals a denial of forgiveness) or ten months after the end of the Borrower’s covered period, whichever is earlier. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of the PPP Loans may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs.

The promissory note for each of the PPP Loans contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breach of representations and warranties or of provisions of the relevant promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, each Borrower can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loans. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. Although the Company intends for each Borrower to apply for loan forgiveness, no assurance can be given that each Borrower will ultimately obtain forgiveness under its PPP Loan, in whole or in part. In the event all or any portion of a PPP Loan is forgiven, the amount forgiven will be applied to outstanding principal and recorded as income. The PPP Loans are subject to audit by the SBA for up to six years after the date the loans are forgiven.

The PPP Loans are classified as Notes Payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received notices from the SBA that all of the PPP Loans received in April 2020 totaling $3.3 million and their related accrued interest aggregating $0.1 million had been legally forgiven, and as a result, the remaining PPP Loans had an outstanding balance of $3.7 million as of December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, on its consolidated statements of operations representing the PPP Loans and related accrued interest legally forgiven in the periods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received notices from the SBA that $2.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of additional PPP Loans and related accrued interest had been legally forgiven and therefore, recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt for these amounts on its consolidated statements of operations during those periods, respectively. As a result, the PPP Loans had a remaining outstanding balance of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2022.

On March 19, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions and, as a result, has not declared any distributions on the Company’s Common Shares since the suspension.

Future distributions declared, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors based on their analysis of the Company’s performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. The Board of Directors will consider various factors in its determination, including but not limited to, the sources and availability of capital, revenues and other sources of income, operating and interest expenses and the Company’s ability to refinance near-term debt as well as the IRS’s annual distribution requirement that REITs distribute no less than 90% of their taxable income. The Company cannot assure that any future distributions will be made or that it will maintain any particular level of distributions that it has previously established or may establish.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s SRP may provide its eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their Common Shares back to the Company, subject to restrictions and applicable law.

On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors amended the SRP to remove stockholder notice requirements and also approved the suspension of all redemptions effective immediately.

Effective May 10, 2021, the Board of Directors reopened the SRP to allow, subject to various conditions as set forth below, for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death or hardship and set the price for all such purchases to the Company’s current estimated net asset value per share, as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by the Company from time to time.

Deaths that occurred subsequent to January 1, 2020 were eligible for consideration, subject to certain conditions. Beginning January 1, 2022, requests for redemptions in connection with a stockholder’s death must be submitted and received by the Company within one year of the stockholder’s date of death for consideration.

On the above noted date, the Board of Directors established that on an annual basis, the Company would not redeem in excess of 0.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the preceding year for either death or hardship redemptions, respectively. Additionally, redemption requests generally would be processed on a quarterly basis and would be subject to pro ration if either type of redemption requests exceeded the annual limitation.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company repurchased 136,298 shares of common shares, pursuant to its SRP at a price per share of $8.80 per share.

Earnings per Share

The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Accordingly, earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income/loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

9. Related Party Transactions

The Company has various agreements, including an advisory agreement, with the Advisor to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by the Advisor and/or its affiliated entities. Additionally, the Company’s ability to secure financing and its real estate operations are dependent upon its Advisor and its affiliates to perform such services as provided in these agreements. Amounts the Company owes to the Advisor and its affiliated entities are principally for asset management fees, and are classified as due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to the Company’s Advisor for the periods indicated:

Schedule of fees payments to Company's Advisor
	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Asset management fees (general and administrative costs)	$	663	$	739	$	2,081	$	2,214

(Unaudited)

The advisory agreement has a one-year term and is renewable for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company’s independent directors. Payments to the Advisor or its affiliates may include asset acquisition fees and the reimbursement of acquisition-related expenses, development fees and the reimbursement of development-related costs, financing coordination fees, asset management fees or asset management participation, and construction management fees. The Company may also reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates for actual expenses it incurs for administrative and other services provided for it. Upon the liquidation of the Company’s assets, it may pay the Advisor or its affiliates a disposition commission.

In connection with the Company’s Offering and Follow-On Offering, Lightstone SLP II LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Sponsor, contributed (i) cash of $12.9 million and (ii) equity interests in the Brownmill Joint Venture valued at $4.8 million to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 177.0 Subordinated Profits Interests in the Operating Partnership with an aggregate value of $17.7 million, which are included in noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets. These Subordinated Profit Interests, the purchase price of which will be repaid only after stockholders receive a stated preferred return and their net investment, entitle Lightstone SLP II, LLC to a portion of any regular distributions made by the Operating Partnership. There have been no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests for quarterly periods after March 31, 2020. Since the Company’s inception, the cumulative distributions declared and paid on the Subordinated Profits Interests were $7.9 million. Any future distributions on the Subordinated Profits Interests will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return, as described above.

10. Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and other assets, accounts payable and other accrued expenses, margin loan, notes payable, and due to related party approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 because of the short maturity of these instruments.

As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value our mortgage payable approximated its carrying value because of the floating interest rate.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our mortgages payable as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Schedule of Mortgages payable and the related estimated fair value
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Mortgages payable	$	136,464	$	136,592

The fair value of our mortgages payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by market interest rates.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

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

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.

As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc., which was formerly known as Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. before September 16, 2021, a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LP and its wholly owned subsidiaries, which we collectively refer to as the “Operating Partnership”. Dollar amounts are presented in thousands, except per share data, revenue per available room (“RevPAR”), average daily rate (“ADR”), annualized revenue per square foot and where indicated in millions.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and other materials filed or to be filed by us with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), contain or will contain, forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding our possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives, are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations which may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Risks and other factors that might cause differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to, economic and market conditions, competition, tenant or joint venture partner(s) bankruptcies, our lack of operating history, the availability of cash flows from operations to pay distributions, changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws and regulations, failure to increase tenant occupancy and operating income, rejection of leases by tenants in bankruptcy, financing and development risks, construction and lease-up delays, cost overruns, the level and volatility of interest rates, the rate of revenue increases versus expense increases, the financial stability of various tenants and industries, the our failure to make additional investments in real estate properties, the failure to upgrade our tenant mix, restrictions in current financing arrangements, the failure to fully recover tenant obligations for common area maintenance, insurance, taxes and other property expenses, the our failure to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the failure to refinance debt at favorable terms and conditions, as a variable rate debt benchmark and the transition to a different benchmark interest rate, an increase in impairment charges, loss of key personnel, failure to achieve earnings/funds from operations targets or estimates, conflicts of interest with the Advisor and the Sponsor and their affiliates, failure of joint venture relationships, significant costs related to environmental issues and uncertainties regarding the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and restrictions and other measures intended to prevent its spread on our business and the economy generally, as well as other risks listed from time to time in this Form 10-Q, our Form 10-K and in the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC.

We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time unless required by law.

Structure

Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT II”), which was formerly known as Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. before September 16, 2021, is a Maryland corporation formed on April 28, 2008, which elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2009.

Lightstone REIT II is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“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. As of September 30, 2022, we held a 99% general partnership interest in our Operating Partnership’s common units.

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

We have and will continue to seek to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate assets and real estate-related investments, including hotels, other commercial and/or residential properties, primarily located in the United States. All such properties may be acquired and operated by us alone or jointly with another party. We may also originate or acquire mortgage loans secured by real estate. Although we expect that most of our investments will be of these types, we may invest in whatever types of real estate-related investments that we believe are in our best interests. We currently intend to hold our investments until such time as we determine that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met.

We currently have one operating segment. As of September 30, 2022, we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 12 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,582 rooms, (ii) held an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill, LLC (the “Brownmill Joint Venture”), an affiliated entity that owns two retail properties, and (iii) held an unconsolidated 50.0% membership interest in LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (the “Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture”), an affiliated real estate entity that owns and operates a 183-room limited service hotel located in Long Island City, New York (the “Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City”). We account for our membership interests in the Brownmill Joint Venture and the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2022, seven of our consolidated limited service hotels are held in a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) formed between us and Lightstone Value Plus REIT I, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT I”), a related party REIT also sponsored by The Lightstone Group, LLC. We and Lightstone REIT I have 97.5% and 2.5% membership interests in the Joint Venture, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, certain of our consolidated hotels also have ownership interests held by unrelated minority owners. The membership interests of Lightstone REIT I and the unrelated minority owners are accounted for as noncontrolling interests.

Our advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC (the “Advisor”), which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein. On May 20, 2008, the Advisor contributed $2 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner units in the Operating Partnership. Our Advisor also owns 20,000 shares of common stock (“Common Shares”) which were issued on May 20, 2008 for $200, or $10.00 per share. Mr. Lichtenstein also is the majority owner of the equity interests of The Lightstone Group, LLC. The Lightstone Group, LLC served as the sponsor (the “Sponsor”) during our initial public offering and follow-on offering (the “Follow-On Offering”, and collectively, the “Offerings”), which terminated on August 15, 2012 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Our Advisor, pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement, together with our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), is primarily responsible for making investment decisions on our behalf and managing our day-to-day operations. Through his ownership and control of The Lightstone Group, LLC, Mr. Lichtenstein is the indirect owner and manager of Lightstone SLP II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Associate General Partner”), which owns 177.0 subordinated profits interests (“Subordinated Profits Interests”) in the Operating Partnership which were acquired for aggregate consideration of $17.7 million in connection with our Offerings. Mr. Lichtenstein also acts as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, he exerts influence over but does not control Lightstone REIT II or the Operating Partnership.

21

We do not have any employees. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of our assets.

Our Advisor has affiliates which may manage certain of the properties we acquire. However, we also contract with other unaffiliated third-party property managers, principally for the management of our hospitality properties.

Our Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. We may seek to list our Common Shares for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of our independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of our stockholders. We do not intend to list our Common Shares at this time. We do not anticipate that there would be any market for our Common Shares until they are listed for trading. In the event we do not obtain listing prior to September 27, 2024, which is the tenth anniversary of the termination of our Follow-On Offering, our charter requires that our 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.

Current Environment

Our operating results are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, loss of key relationships, competition, inflation, recession, supply disruptions and labor shortages.

These and other market and economic challenges could materially affect (i) the value and performance of our investments, (ii) our ability to pay future distributions, if any, (iii) the availability or terms of financings, (iv) our ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and (v) our ability to refinance any outstanding debt when contractually due.

COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and it remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the ongoing development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots. Accordingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future.

The extent to which our business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

Furthermore, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, room demand and rental rates for our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels significantly declined starting in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic; and while these metrics have improved since then (beginning late 2020 and continuing through the third quarter of 2022); room demand and rental rates still remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels for some of our hotels. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our operations, financial position and cash flow; and while the severity of the impact has lessened considerable, we may experience a negative impact for the foreseeable future. We cannot currently estimate if and when room demand and rental rates will return to historical pre-pandemic levels for our all of hotels.

We have an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which owns two retail properties located in New Jersey that is subject to similar risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Brownmill Joint Venture’s retail properties are negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for an extended period because its tenants are unable to pay their rent, our equity earnings and the carrying value of our investment in the Brownmill Joint Venture could be materially and adversely impacted.

22

In light of the past, present and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating results of our hotels, we have taken various actions to preserve our liquidity, including the following: 

● We have implemented cost reduction strategies for all of our hotels, leading to reductions in certain operating expenses and capital expenditures.

● During 2020 and 2021, we obtained certain amendments to our revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● In April 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, our consolidated hotels received an aggregate of $3.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, from loans provided under the federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loans”). See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● Previously in March 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares and the Subordinated Profits Interests and has not declared any distributions since the suspension. Additionally, in March 2020, the Board of Directors approved the suspension of all redemptions under our shareholder repurchase program (the “SRP”). Subsequently on May 10, 2021, the Board of Directors partially reopened the SRP to allow, subject to various conditions, for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death or hardship. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● During 2020 and 2021, the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture obtained various amendments to our non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We believe that these actions, along with our available on hand cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, as well as our intention to seek to extend the Revolving Credit Facility on or before its maturity date of September 15, 2023, as discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

We are not currently aware of any other material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from our operations, other than those referred to above or throughout this Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires our 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to our critical accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 except for as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disposition Activities

Disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles

On March 22, 2022, we completed the disposition of a 130-room hotel located in Paso Robles, California, which operates as a Courtyard by Marriott (the “Courtyard – Paso Robles”), to an unaffiliated third party, for a contractual sales price of $32.3 million. In connection with the disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles, we recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of $7.6 million during the first quarter of 2022.

Disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock

On July 14, 2022, we completed the disposition of a 92-room hotel located in Little Rock, Arkansas, which operates as a TownePlace Suites (the “TownePlace Suites - Little Rock”) to an unaffiliated third party, for a contractual sales price of $5.9 million. In connection with the disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock, we recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2022.

Results of Operations

We currently have one operating segment. As of September 30, 2022 we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 12 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,582 rooms, (ii) held an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill LLC (“the Brownmill Joint Venture”), an affiliated entity that owns two retail properties, and (iii) held an unconsolidated 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture, an affiliated entity that owns and operates the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City, a 183-room limited service hotel. We account for our unconsolidated membership interests in the Brownmill Joint Venture and the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

As of September 30, 2022, seven of our consolidated limited service hotels are held in a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) formed between us and Lightstone Value Plus REIT, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT I”), a related party REIT also sponsored by our Sponsor. We and Lightstone REIT I have 97.5% and 2.5% membership interests in the Joint Venture, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, certain of our consolidated hotels also have ownership interests held by unrelated minority owners. The membership interests of Lightstone REIT I and the unrelated minority owners are accounted for as noncontrolling interest.

On March 22, 2022 we disposed of the Courtyard – Paso Robles and on July 14, 2022 we disposed of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock (collectively, the “2022 Dispositions”).

The 2022 Dispositions did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since they did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of the 2022 Dispositions are reflected in our results from continuing operations for all periods presented through their respective dates of disposition.

Properties owned by us during the entire periods presented are referred to as our “Same Store” properties.

25

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2022 vs. September 30, 2021

Consolidated

Our consolidated revenues, property operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are attributable to our consolidated hospitality properties, including the 2022 Dispositions through their respective dates of disposition. 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, room demand and rental rates for our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels significantly declined starting in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic; and while these metrics have improved since then (beginning in late 2020 and continuing through the third quarter of 2022); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels for some of our hotels. Overall, our consolidated hospitality portfolio experienced increases in RevPAR from $83.89 to $87.43 for the third quarters of 2021 and 2022, respectively, and the ADR from $118.58 to $124.01 for the third quarters of 2021 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, the percentage of rooms occupied was 71% for both the third quarters of 2021 and 2022.

Revenues

Revenues decreased by $1.1 million to $13.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $14.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease reflects a reduction in revenues of $2.6 million due to the 2022 Dispositions partially offset by higher revenues of $1.5 million for our Same Store properties as a result of the higher RevPAR and ADR during the 2022 period.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses increased by $0.3 million to $9.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2021. Excluding the reduction in property operating expenses of $1.4 million due to the 2022 Dispositions, our property operating expenses increased by $1.7 million for our Same Store properties. The increase is principally attributable to increases in room and food expenses, franchise management fees, payroll expenses and other property operating expenses.

Real estate taxes

Real estate taxes decreased by $0.2 million to $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2021 resulting from a decrease in real estate taxes of $0.1 million for our Same Store properties and a reduction in real estate taxes of $0.1 million due to the 2022 Dispositions.

General and administrative costs

General and administrative increased by $0.2 million to $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2021.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.7 million to $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease reflects lower depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million for our Same Store properties and a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million due to the disposition of the 2022 Dispositions.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased slightly by $0.1 million to $1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2021. Interest expense is primarily attributable to financings associated with our hotels and reflects both changes in market interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness and the weighted average principal outstanding during the periods.

26

Gain on forgiveness of debt

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 notice was received from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) that $2.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of PPP Loans and related accrued interest had been legally forgiven and therefore, we recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt for these amounts amount during those periods.

Gain on sale of investment property

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of $0.8 million related to the sale of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock on July 14, 2022.

Earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities

Our income from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities was $3.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2021. Our earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities is attributable to our ownership interests in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the Brownmill Joint Venture. We account for our membership interests in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the Brownmill Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting commencing on the date that we acquired our interests. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Noncontrolling interests

The income or loss allocated to noncontrolling interests relates to the interest in our Operating Partnership held by our Advisor, the membership interest held by Lightstone I in the Joint Venture, and the ownership interests held by unrelated minority owners in certain of our hotels.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 vs. September 30, 2021

Our consolidated revenues, property operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are attributable to our consolidated hospitality properties, including the 2022 Dispositions through their respective dates of disposition. 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, room demand and rental rates for our consolidated and unconsolidated hotels significantly declined starting in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic; and while these metrics have improved since then (beginning in late 2020 and continuing through the third quarter of 2022); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels for some of our hotels. Overall, our consolidated hospitality portfolio experienced increases in the percentage of rooms occupied from 64% to 68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and RevPAR from $65.80 to $86.61 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and ADR from $102.98 to $126.48 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Revenues

Revenues increased by $7.9 million to $41.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $33.8 million for the same period in 2021. The increase reflects higher revenues of $11.7 million for our Same Store properties as a result of the higher occupancy, RevPAR and ADR during the 2022 period partially offset by a reduction in revenues of $3.8 million due to the 2022 Dispositions.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses increased by $6.2 million to $29.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2021. Excluding the reduction in property operating expenses of $1.8 million due to the 2022 Dispositions, our property operating expenses increased by $8.0 million for our Same Store properties. The increase is principally attributable to higher occupancy during the 2022 period reflecting increases in room and food expenses of $3.9 million, franchise management fees of $1.4 million, payroll expenses of $1.0 million and other property operating expenses of $1.7 million.

27

Real estate taxes

Real estate taxes decreased by $0.4 million to $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2021 resulting from a decrease in real estate taxes of $0.3 million for our Same Store properties and a reduction in real estate taxes of $0.1 million due to the 2022 Dispositions.

General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs increased by $0.3 million to $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is principally attributable to increases in professional fees and bad debt expense.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.7 million to $6.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease reflects lower depreciation and amortization expense of $1.2 million for our Same Store properties and a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.5 million due to the 2022 Dispositions.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased slightly by $0.1 million to $4.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2021. Interest expense is primarily attributable to financings associated with our hotels and reflects both changes in market interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness and the weighted average principal outstanding during the periods.

Gain on forgiveness of debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 notice was received from the SBA that $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of PPP Loans and related accrued interest had been legally forgiven and therefore, we recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt for these amounts during those periods.

Gain on sale of investment property

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an aggregate gain on the sale of investment property of $8.5 million consisting of a first quarter gain of $7.6 million related to the sale of a the Courtyard – Paso Robles on March 22, 2022 and a third quarter gain of $1.0 million related to the sale of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock on July 14, 2022.

Earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities

Our income from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities was $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2021. Our earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities is attributable to our ownership interests in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the Brownmill Joint Venture. We account for our membership interests in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the Brownmill Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting commencing on the date that we acquired our interests. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Noncontrolling interests

The income or loss allocated to noncontrolling interests relates to the interest in our Operating Partnership held by our Advisor, the membership interest held by Lightstone I in the Joint Venture, and the ownership interests held by unrelated minority owners in certain of our hotels.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview:

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our operating performance, we previously negotiated various changes to the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, including modifications of financial covenants and an extension option. See “Contractual Mortgage Obligations” for additional information.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $43.0 million of cash on hand and marketable securities of $3.3 million. We currently believe that these items, along with revenues from our properties, interest and dividend income on our marketable securities, proceeds from the potential sale of marketable securities, distributions received from our unconsolidated affiliated entities, if any, will be sufficient to satisfy our expected cash requirements primarily consisting of our anticipated operating expenses, scheduled debt service, capital expenditures (excluding non-recurring capital expenditures), contributions to our unconsolidated affiliated entities, redemptions and cancellations of shares of our Common Shares, if approved, and distributions, if any, required to maintain our status as a REIT. However, we may also obtain additional funds through selective asset dispositions, joint venture arrangements, new borrowings and refinancing of existing borrowings.

As of September 30, 2022, we have mortgage indebtedness totaling $118.5 million and $0.3 million of PPP Loans (classified as notes payable on our consolidated balance sheet). We have and intend to continue to limit our aggregate long-term permanent borrowings to 75% of the aggregate fair market value of all properties unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders. Market conditions will dictate the overall leverage limit; as such our aggregate long-term permanent borrowings may be less than 75% of aggregate fair market value of all properties. We may also incur short-term indebtedness, having a maturity of two years or less.

Our charter provides that the aggregate amount of our borrowing, both secured and unsecured, may not exceed 300% of net assets in the absence of a justification showing that a higher level is appropriate, the approval of our Board of Directors and disclosure to stockholders. Net assets means our total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less our total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied. Any excess in borrowing over such 300% of net assets level must be approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report to stockholders, along with justification for such excess. Market conditions will dictate our overall leverage limit; as such our aggregate borrowings may be less than 300% of net assets. As of September 30, 2022, our total borrowings aggregated $118.8 million which represented 66% of our net assets.

Additionally, in order to leverage our investments in marketable securities and seek a higher rate of return, we have access to borrowings under a margin loan. This loan is due on demand and any outstanding balance must be paid upon the liquidation of securities.

Any future properties that we may acquire may be funded through a combination of borrowings and the proceeds received from the selective disposition of certain of our real estate assets. These borrowings may consist of single-property mortgages as well as mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of properties. Such mortgages may be put in place either at the time we acquire a property or subsequent to our purchasing a property for cash. In addition, we may acquire properties that are subject to existing indebtedness where we choose to assume the existing mortgages. Generally, though not exclusively, we intend to seek to encumber our properties with debt, which will be on a non-recourse basis. This means that a lender’s rights on default will generally be limited to foreclosing on the property. However, we may, at our discretion, secure recourse financing or provide a guarantee to lenders if we believe this may result in more favorable terms. When we give a guaranty for a property owning entity, we will be responsible to the lender for the satisfaction of the indebtedness if it is not paid by the property owning entity.

We may also obtain lines of credit to be used to acquire properties. If obtained, these lines of credit will be at prevailing market terms and will be repaid from proceeds from the sale or refinancing of properties, working capital and/or permanent financing. Our Sponsor and/or its affiliates may guarantee our lines of credit although they are not obligated to do so. We expect that such properties may be purchased by our Sponsor’s affiliates on our behalf, in our name, in order to minimize the imposition of a transfer tax upon a transfer of such properties to us.

29

We have various agreements, including an advisory agreement, with the Advisor to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by the Advisor and/or its affiliated entities. Additionally, our ability to secure financing and our real estate operations are dependent upon our Advisor and its affiliates to perform such services as provided in these agreements.

In addition to meeting working capital needs and distributions, if any, made to maintain our status as a REIT, our capital resources are used to make certain payments to our Advisor, including payments related to asset acquisition fees and asset management fees, the reimbursement of acquisition-related expenses to our Advisor. We also reimburse our advisor for actual expenses it incurs for administrative and other services provided to us.

The advisory agreement has a one-year term and is renewable for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and our independent directors.

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to our Advisor for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Asset management fees (general and administrative costs)	$	663	$	739	$	2,081	$	2,214

Summary of Cash Flows

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,928		$	511

Operating activities

The cash provided by operating activities of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of our net income of $10.8 million plus depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs and other non-cash items aggregating $7.1 million partially offset by an aggregate gain recognized in connection with the sales of the Courtyard – Paso Robles and the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock of $8.5 million, a gain on debt forgiveness of $3.5 million, income from investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities of $3.3 million and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.7 million.

Investing activities

The cash provided by investing activities of $46.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consists primarily of the following:

● capital expenditures of $0.5 million;

30

● $36.7 million of aggregate proceeds from the sales of the Courtyard – Paso Robles and the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock;

● $3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities; and

● $5.5 million of aggregate distributions from our investment in the Brownmill Joint Venture and $1.5 million of aggregate distributions from our investment in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture.

Financing activities

The cash used in financing activities of $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consists primarily of the following:

● net margin loan payments of $2.3 million;

● distributions to noncontrolling interests of $0.1 million; and

● redemption and cancellation of common shares of $1.2 million.

Distributions on Common Shares

On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares and as a result, no distributions have been declared since the suspension.

Future distributions declared on our Common Shares, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors based on their analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. The Board of Directors will consider various factors in its determination, including but not limited to, the sources and availability of capital, revenues and sources of income, operating and interest expenses and our ability to refinance near-term debt as well as the IRS’s annual distribution requirement that REITs distribute no less than 90% of their taxable income. We cannot assure that any future distributions will be made or that we will maintain any particular level of distributions that we have previously established or may establish.

Contractual Mortgage Obligations

The following is a summary of our estimated contractual mortgage obligations outstanding over the next five years and thereafter as of September 30, 2022.

Contractual Mortgage Obligations	2022		2023		2024		2025		2026		Thereafter		Total

Note:

(1) These amounts represent future interest payments related to mortgage payable obligations based on the interest rates specified in the associated debt agreement. All variable rate debt agreements are based on the one-month AMERIBOR rate. For purposes of calculating future interest amounts on variable interest rate debt the one-month AMERIBOR rate as of September 30, 2022 was used.

31

Revolving Credit Facility

Except as discussed below, the Revolving Credit Facility, which was scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, bore interest at LIBOR + 3.15%, subject to a 4.00% floor. However, on September 6, 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended and is now scheduled to mature on September 15, 2023. In connection with the amendment of the Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate was prospectively changed to AMERIBOR + 3.15%, subject to a 4.00% floor.

On June 2, 2020, our revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) was amended to provide for (i) the deferral of the six monthly debt service payments aggregating $2.6 million from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, until November 15, 2021; (ii) a 100 bps reduction in the interest rate spread to LIBOR plus 2.15%, subject to a 3.00% floor, for the six-month period from September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) us pre-funding $2.5 million into a cash collateral reserve account to cover the six monthly debt service payments which were due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and (iv) a waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods before June 30, 2021.

Subsequently, on March 31, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility was further amended providing for (i) us to pledge the membership interests in another hotel as additional collateral within 45 days, (ii) us to fund an additional $2.5 million into the cash collateral reserve account; (iii) a waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods through September 30, 2021 with a phased-in gradual return to the full financial covenant requirements over the quarter-end periods beginning December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2023; (iv) an extension of the maturity date from May 17, 2021 to September 15, 2022 upon the pledge of the additional collateral (which was subsequently completed on May 13, 2021); (v) one additional one-year extension option at the lender’s sole discretion; and (vi) certain limitations and restrictions on asset sales and additional borrowings related to the pledged collateral.

We are currently in compliance with respect to all of our financial debt covenants. 

On July 14, 2022, in connection with the disposition of the TownePlace Suites - Little Rock, we used proceeds of $4.6 million to make a principal paydown on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, all 12 of our majority owned and consolidated hotel properties were pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding principal balance was $118.5 million. Additionally, no additional borrowings were available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022. We currently intend to seek to extend or refinance the Revolving Credit Facility on or before its maturity date of September 15, 2023, however, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in such endeavors.

Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan

In connection with our acquisition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles on December 14, 2017, we assumed the Courtyard - Paso Robles Mortgage Loan. On March 22, 2022, the Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan was fully defeased in connection with the disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles (See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and we were legally released from any ongoing obligation.

PPP Loans

During the first quarter of 2021, we, through various subsidiaries (each such entity, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), received aggregate funding of $3.7 million through PPP Loans originated under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the SBA.

The PPP Loans are classified as Notes Payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

32

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received notices from the SBA that all of the PPP Loans received in April 2020 totaling $3.3 million and their related accrued interest aggregating $0.1 million had been legally forgiven, and as a result, the remaining PPP Loans had an outstanding balance of $3.7 million as of December 31, 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, on our consolidated statements of operations representing the PPP Loans and related accrued interest legally forgiven in the periods. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we received notices from the SBA that $2.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of additional PPP Loans and related accrued interest had been legally forgiven and therefore, recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt for these amounts on our consolidated statements of operations during those periods, respectively. As a result, the PPP Loans had a remaining outstanding balance of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2022. 

Our PPP Loans remain subject to audit by the SBA for up to six years after the date the loans were forgiven.

In addition to the mortgages payable and PPP Loans described above, a margin loan that was made available to us from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of our marketable securities. The margin loan is collateralized by the marketable securities in our account. The amounts available to us under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in our account.

No amounts were outstanding under this margin loan as of September 30, 2022. The margin loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.85% (3.37% as of September 30, 2022).

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliated Entities

Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture

On March 27, 2018, we and Lightstone Value Plus REIT III, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT III”), a REIT also sponsored by our Sponsor and a related party, acquired, through LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (the “Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture”), a 183-room, limited-service hotel located at 29-21 41st Avenue, Long Island City, New York (the “Hilton Garden Inn — Long Island City”) from an unrelated third party, for aggregate consideration of $60.0 million, which consisted of $25.0 million of cash and $35.0 million of proceeds from a loan from a financial institution (the “Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage”), excluding closing and other related transaction costs. We and Lightstone III each have a 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture.

We paid $12.9 million for a 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture. Our membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture is a co-managing interest. We account for our membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting because we exert significant influence over but do not control the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture. All capital contributions and distributions of earnings from the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture are made on a pro rata basis in proportion to each member’s equity interest percentage. Any distributions in excess of earnings from the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture are made to the members pursuant to the terms of the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture’s operating agreement. We commenced recording our allocated portion of profit/loss and cash distributions beginning as of March 27, 2018 with respect to our membership interest of 50.0% in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture. 

In light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating results of the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City, the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture previously entered into certain amendments with respect to its non-recourse mortgage loan (the Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage”) as discussed below.

On June 2, 2020, the Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage was amended to provide for (i) the deferral of the six monthly debt service payments aggregating $0.9 million for the period from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 until March 27, 2023; (ii) a 100 bps reduction in the interest rate spread to LIBOR plus 2.15%, subject to a 4.03% floor, for the six-month period from September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture pre-funding $1.2 million into a cash collateral reserve account to cover the six monthly debt service payments due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and (iv) waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods before June 30, 2021.

33

Additionally, on April 7, 2021, the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture and the lender further amended the terms of the Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage to provide for (i) the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture to make a principal paydown of $1.7 million; (ii) the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture to fund an additional $0.7 million into the cash collateral reserve account; (iii) a waiver of all financial covenants for quarter-end periods through September 30, 2021 with a phased-in gradual return to the full financial covenant requirements over the quarter-end periods beginning December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022; (iv) a 11-month interest-only payment period from May 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022; and (v) certain restrictions on distributions to the members of the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture during the interest-only payment period.

The Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture is currently in compliance with respect to all of its financial debt covenants. 

Subsequent to the acquisition of our 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Joint Venture through September 30, 2022, we made an aggregate of $2.8 million of additional capital contributions (all of which was made prior to 2022) and received aggregate distributions of $3.5 million (of which $1.5 million was received in 2022).

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings, improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative.

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.

We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management and reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.

34

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, published a standardized measure of performance known as modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses (which includes costs incurred in connection with strategic alternatives), amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables and amortization of market lease and other intangibles, net (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments and borrowings, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (including gains or losses incurred on assets held for sale), gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guidelines or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry, and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

(1) The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Such fees and expenses are paid in cash, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. Such fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are being acquired. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be paid or reimbursed, as applicable, to our advisor even if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses would need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.

(2) Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.

(3) Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.

(4) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

The table below presents our cumulative distributions declared and cumulative FFO attributable to our common shares:

	For the period April, 28, 2008 (date of inception) through September 30, 2022
FFO attributable to Company’s common shares	$	77,212
Distributions declared and paid	$	85,040

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified in the evaluation, and therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
