In the event the Company does not obtain listing prior to the tenth anniversary of the completion or termination of its Offering, its charter requires that the Board of Directors must either (i) seek stockholder approval of an extension or amendment of this listing deadline; or (ii) seek stockholder approval to adopt a plan of liquidation of the corporation.

Lightstone SLP II LLC may elect to purchase the Subordinated Profits Interests with either cash or an interest in real property of equivalent value.

From our inception through September 30, 2012, the Company’s Sponsor has contributed cash of approximately $0.2 million and elected to contribute equity interests totaling 45.1% in Brownmill, LLC (“Brownmill”) in exchange for a total of 46.0 Subordinated Profits Interests with an aggregate value of $4.6 million (see Note 4).

Reclassifications

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the presentation of comprehensive income. These changes give an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements; the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. The items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income were not changed. Additionally, no changes were made to the calculation and presentation of earnings per share. Management elected to present the two-statement option. Other than the change in presentation, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

The remaining 5.0% ownership interest was acquired by TPS Metairie, LLC, an unrelated third party.  During the first quarter of 2011, TPS Metairie, LLC contributed $0.7 million to LVP Metairie JV. The TownePlace Suites Hotel, which has immediate access to the New Orleans Airport, operates as a “TownePlace Suites” pursuant to a Relicensing Franchise Agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) with Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”).

The aggregate purchase price for the TownePlace Suites Hotel was approximately $12.2 million, inclusive of closing and other transaction-related costs. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, the Company’s advisor received an acquisition fee of $0.1 million which was equal to 0.95% of the Company’s proportionate share of the total contract price of $12.0 million, or $11.4 million. The Company’s share of the acquisition was funded with cash proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock.

The Company has established a taxable REIT subsidiary, LVP Metairie Holding Corp. (“LVP Metairie Holding”), which has entered into an operating lease agreement for the TownePlace Suites Hotel. LVP Metairie Holding has also entered into management agreement (the “TownePlace Suites Management Agreement”) with Trans Inns Management, Inc., an unrelated third party, for the management of the TownePlace Suites Hotel, and the Franchise Agreement with Marriott.  The Towne Place Suites Management Agreement, which had an initial term of one-year commencing on January 19, 2011, provides for (i) monthly base management fees equal to 3% of gross revenues, as defined and (ii) certain incentive fees.  The TownePlace Suites Management Agreement, which was extended for an additional one-year commencing on January 19, 2012, now provides for eight additional one-year extensions and may be terminated by either party with no less than 90-days written notice, by either party, in advance of the anniversary date.

Contemporaneously, LVP SHS entered into a 20-year franchise agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”) with Marriott, pursuant to which the SpringHill Suites Hotel continued to operate as a SpringHill Suites by Marriott commencing on August 11, 2012. The Company has established a taxable subsidiary, LVP SHS Holding Corp (“LVP SHS TRS”), which has entered into an operating lease agreement for the SpringHill Suites Hotel.  LVP SHS TRS has also entered into a new management agreement (the SSH Peabody Management Agreement”) with SSH Peabody, LLC, an unrelated third party, for the management of the SpringHill Suites Hotel which commenced on August 11, 2012.

The Franchise Agreement requires the completion of certain improvements to the SpringHill Suites Hotel at an estimated cost of $2.3 million pursuant to a property improvement plan (the “PIP”) no later than August 11, 2013. The SSH Peabody Management Agreement has an initial term of one-year and automatically renews for additional one-year terms on the anniversary date provided 60-day advance written notice is not provided by either party.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with LVP SHS treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired of $13.6 million exceeded the aggregate cost of $10.1 million, resulting in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain of approximately $3.5 million in the consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of 2012. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon certain preliminary valuations and other analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for this acquisition prior to the finalization of more detailed analyses will change the allocation of the purchase price. As such, the purchase price allocations for this transaction are preliminary estimates, which are subject to change within the measurement period. Any subsequent changes to the purchase price allocations that are material will be adjusted retroactively. There was no contingent consideration related to this acquisition. Approximately $2.8 million was allocated to land, $9.0 million was allocated to building and improvements and $1.0 million was allocated to furniture and fixtures. Additionally, the FFE Reserve, which is included in restricted escrows in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, was recorded at its cost of approximately $0.8 million.

The capitalization rate for the SpringHill Suites Hotel as of the closing of the acquisition was 10.5%. We calculate the capitalization rate for a real property by dividing net operating income of the property by the purchase price of the property, excluding costs. For purposes of this calculation, net operating income was determined using the projected or budgeted net operating income of the property based upon then-current projections. Additionally, net operating income is all gross revenues from the property less all operating expenses, including property taxes and management fees but excluding depreciation.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions) (Unaudited)

In July 2011, the Company obtained access to a margin loan from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of the Company’s marketable securities. The margin loan, which is due on demand, bears interest at Libor plus 0.85% (1.06% as of September 30, 2012) and is collateralized by the marketable securities in the Company’s account. The amounts available to the Company under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in its account.

Interest expense on the margin loan was $9 and $27 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $9 and $9 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

The Company considers the declines in market value of its investment portfolio to be temporary in nature. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges. As of September 30, 2012, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

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:

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, all of the Company’s equity securities were classified as Level 1 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

On June 29, 2010, the Company purchased a fixed-rate of 5.916%, nonrecourse mortgage note (the “Loan”) from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (“CGMC”), an unrelated third party, for $7.9 million. The Loan was originated by the CGMC in August 2007 with an original principal balance of $18.7 million and is collateralized by a 141-room limited service hotel located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The hotel is currently operating under a franchise agreement with Marriott as a Fairfield Inn. The Loan was scheduled to mature in September 2017 under its original term, and has been in default since February 2009.

The Company initially recorded the Loan as a mortgage loan receivable at $7.9 million, net of a discount of $10.8 million, on its consolidated balance sheet. As the Loan is in default, the Company is not accreting the discount.

The borrower under the loan agreement is required to transfer any excess cash to the Company on a monthly basis. Prior to April 1, 2011, the Company, was applying the excess cash to required funding for taxes and insurance and other escrow related disbursements and any remaining cash was applied to outstanding principal and the excess, if any, was to be recognized as interest income (the cost recovery method of income recognition). On April 1, 2011, the Company determined that it was no longer probable that it would take ownership in the foreseeable future and stopped applying the cost recovery method and instead began to apply the cash receipts method of income recognition, whereby the Company will recognize any excess cash, after the required funding for taxes and insurance and other escrow related disbursements, as interest income until such time as the borrower is current on all amounts owed to the Company for interest and then any remaining cash will be applied to outstanding principal. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 the Company recognized interest income of $99 and $288, respectively, on the mortgage loan receivable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized interest income of $351 and $602, respectively on the mortgage loan receivable.

On December 8, 2010, FB Orlando Acquisition Company, LLC (the “Owner”), a previously wholly owned entity of Lichtenstein acquired Festival Bay Mall (the “Property”) for cash consideration of approximately $25.0 million (the “Contract Price”) from BT Orlando LP, an unrelated third party seller. Ownership of the Owner was transferred to the A.S. Holdings LLC (“A.S. Holdings”), a wholly-owned entity of Lichtenstein, on June 26, 2011 (the “Transfer Date”) pursuant to the terms of a transfer and exchange agreement between various entities, including a qualified intermediary.

On March 4, 2011, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, entered into an agreement with A.S. Holdings, providing the Operating Partnership an option to acquire a membership interest of up to 10.0% in A.S. Holdings. The option was exercisable in whole or in part, up to two times, by the Operating Partnership at any time, but in no event later than June 30, 2012. The Company did not exercise its option, in whole or in part, and it expired on June 30, 2012.

Subject to certain conditions, the Mortgage provides for two, one-year extension periods, at the borrowers option, that require the payment of an extension fee of 0.25% of the then outstanding principal balance. The TownePlace Suites Mortgage is secured by the TownePlace Suites Hotel and the Company has provided a guaranty to the lender for non-recourse carve-outs.

SpringHill Suites Mortgage

On July 13, 2012, the LVP SHS obtained a mortgage (the ‘‘SpringHill Suites Mortgage’’) in the principal amount of $5.3 million from the Bank of the Ozarks.

The monthly principal payment resets each month based on the outstanding principal balance and the current interest rate pursuant to a 25-year amortization schedule less the number of payments made.

In connection with the financing, the LVP SHS paid loan fees and expenses totaling approximately $0.1 million, which are being amortized into interest expense in accordance with the effective interest method over the initial term of the SpringHill Suites Mortgage, and approximately $3.5 million of the loan proceeds were placed in an escrow for the PIP and the Termination Fee, which was subsequently repaid (see Note 3). Subject to certain conditions, the SpringHill Suites Mortgage provides for two, one-year extension periods, at the borrowers option, that require the payment of an extension fee of 0.25% of the then outstanding principal balance. The SpringHill Suites Mortgage is secured by the SpringHill Suites Hotel and the Company has provided a guaranty to the lender for non-recourse carve-outs and also provided a full recourse guaranty through the date the Franchise Agreement became effective, at which time the recourse guaranty was reduced to 50.0% of the SpringHill Suites Mortgage.

Principal Maturities

The following table, based on the initial terms of the mortgages, sets forth their aggregate estimated contractual principal maturities, including balloon payments due at maturity, as of September 30, 2012:

Libor as of September 30, 2012 was 0.21%. As of September 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of the mortgages payable approximated its carrying value.

Debt Compliance

Pursuant to the Company’s debt agreements, approximately $2.7 million was held in restricted escrow accounts as of September 30, 2012. Such escrows are subject to release in accordance with the applicable debt agreement for the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and capital improvements, as required. Certain of our debt agreements also contain clauses providing for prepayment penalties and require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage. The Company is currently in compliance with respect to all of its debt covenants.

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.

In addition to certain related party payments made to the Dealer Manager (see Note 8 for additional information), the Company also has agreements with the Advisor and Lightstone Value Plus REIT Management LLC (the “Property Manager”) to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by these entities and other affiliated entities. The Company’s ability to secure financing and subsequent real estate operations are dependent upon its Advisor, Property Manager and their affiliates to perform such services as provided in these agreements.

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

As of both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $0.1 million was due to the Company’s Sponsor for unpaid asset management fees. As of September 30, 2012, the Company owns a 45.1% membership interest in Brownmill and a 10.0% interest in the Rego Park Joint Venture. Affiliates of the Company’s Sponsor are the majority owners and managers of these entities. Additionally, as of September 30, 2012 the Company has a $2.3 million remaining outstanding balance on the Lightstone REIT I Note it received in connection with the sale of its 20.0% joint venture ownership interest in the CP Boston Joint Venture, effective January 1, 2012. See Note 4 for additional information.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted escrows, accounts receivable (included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet), note receivable from affiliate, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and the margin loan approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2012 because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan receivable was approximated $11.8 million as of September 30, 2012 based upon current market information that would have been used by a market participant to estimate the fair value of such loan.

Legal Proceedings

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

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

The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 18, 2012, bringing limited claims under theories of unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. We continue to believe these claims to be without merit and will defend the case vigorously, and anticipate filing another motion to dismiss shortly.

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

Distribution Payment

On October 15, 2012, the total distribution for the three-month period ending September 30, 2012 of approximately $846 was paid in full using a combination of cash and approximately 41,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s DRIP, at a discounted price of $9.50 per share. The distribution was paid from offering proceeds (approximately $185 or 22%), cash flows provided from operations (approximately $268 or 32%) and excess cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock through REIT II's DRIP (approximately $393 or 46%).

Distribution Declaration

On November 9, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized and the Company declared a distribution for the three-month period ending December 31, 2012. The distribution will be calculated based on shareholders of record each day during this three-month period at a rate of $0.00178082191 per day, and will equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.5% annualized rate based on a share price of $10.00. The distribution will be paid in cash on January 15, 2013 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2012. The shareholders have an option to elect the receipt of shares under our DRIP.

Overview

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the “Lightstone REIT II”) and Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, LP, (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 the Lightstone REIT II, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in which such pronoun is used.

Lightstone REIT II intends to continue to acquire and operate commercial, residential and hospitality properties, principally in North America. Principally through the Operating Partnership, our future acquisitions may include both portfolios and individual properties. We expect that our commercial holdings will consist of retail (primarily multi-tenanted shopping centers), lodging, industrial and office properties and that our residential properties located either in or near major metropolitan areas.

Capital required for the future purchases of real estate and/or real estate related investments is expected to be obtained from public offerings of shares of our common stock and from any indebtedness that we may incur either in connection with the acquisition of any real estate and real estate related investments or thereafter. We are dependent upon the net proceeds from public offerings of our common stock to conduct our proposed activities.

The Company’s registration statement on Form S-11, pursuant to which it offered to sell a maximum of 51,000,000 shares of its common stock (exclusive of 6,500,000 shares which were available pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), and 255,000 shares which were reserved for issuance under its Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan ), at a price of $10.00 per share (subject to certain volume discounts), was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933 on February 17, 2009, and on April 24, 2009 the Company commenced its initial public offering of common stock (the “Offering”). The Offering terminated on August 15, 2012.

The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (the “Follow-On Offering”), pursuant to which it is offering to sell a maximum of 30,000,000 shares of its common stock (exclusive of 6,500,000 shares available pursuant to its DRIP) and 255,000 shares reserved for issuance under the its Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan ), at a price of $10.00 per share (subject to certain volume discounts). The Follow-On Offering was declared effective by SEC under the Securities Act of 1933 on September 27, 2012.

We do not have employees. We entered into an advisory agreement, dated February 17, 2009, with Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which we refer to as the “Advisor,” pursuant to which the Advisor supervises and manages our day-to-day operations and selects our real estate and real estate related investments, subject to oversight by our board of directors. We pay the Advisor fees for services related to the investment and management of our assets, and we will reimburse the Advisor for certain expenses incurred on our behalf.

Current Environment

Our operating results as well as our investment opportunities are impacted by the health of the North American economies.  Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as availability of credit, financial markets volatility, and recession.

U.S. and global credit and equity markets have undergone significant volatility and disruption over the last several years, making it difficult for many businesses to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all.  As a result of this disruption, in general there has been an increase in costs associated with borrowings and refinancing as well as limited availability of funds for borrowings and refinancing. If these conditions continue or worsen, our cost of borrowings may increase and it may be more difficult to finance investment opportunities in the short term.

We are not aware of any other material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from the acquisition and operation of real estate and real estate related investments, other than those referred to in this Form 10-Q.

Annualized base rent is defined as the minimum monthly base rent due as of September 30, 2012 annualized, excluding periodic contractual fixed increases and rents calculated based on a percentage of tenants’ sales. The annualized base rent disclosed in the table above includes all concessions, abatements and reimbursements of rent to tenants.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to our critical accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Results of Operations

The Company’s primary financial measure for evaluating its properties is net operating income (“NOI”). NOI represents revenues less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and general and administrative expenses. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company’s properties.

For the periods presented, the Company’s consolidated operating properties included the TownePlace Suites Hotel, which was acquired on January 19, 2011, and the SpringHill Suites Hotel, which was acquired on July 13, 2012. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The income or loss allocated to noncontrolling interests relates to (i) the interest in our Operating Partnership held by our Sponsor and (ii) membership interests held by others in the TownePlace Suites Hotel.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our primary sources of funds were $4.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock under our Offering and $11.0 million of aggregate net mortgage financing proceeds related to our TownePlace Suites Hotel and SpringHill Suites Hotel. We are dependent upon future net proceeds expected to be received from our public offerings to conduct our proposed activities. The capital required to purchase real estate investments is expected to be obtained from our public offerings and from any indebtedness that we may incur in either in connection with the acquisition or the operations of any real estate investments thereafter.

We have and intend to continue to utilize leverage either in connection with acquiring our properties or subsequent to their acquisition. The number of different properties we will acquire will be affected by numerous factors, including, the amount of funds available to us. When interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on terms that are satisfactory to us or within a timeframe that is acceptable to us, we may purchase certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan at a later time.

Our future sources of funds will primarily be (i) the net proceeds from our public offerings, (ii) our operating cash flows, (iii) the repayment of the note receivable from affiliate, (iv) our borrowings and (v) funds held in restricted escrows. We currently believe that these resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months.

We currently have mortgage indebtedness totaling $11.2 million and a margin loan of $2.9 million. 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 borrowing, both secured and unsecured, may not exceed 300% of net assets in the absence of a satisfactory 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 the overall leverage limit; as such our aggregate borrowings may be less than 300% of net assets. As of September 30, 2012, our total borrowings aggregated $14.1 million which represented 32% of our net assets.

Our future 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.

In general the types of future financing executed by us to a large extent will be dictated by the nature of the investment and current market conditions. For long-term real estate investments, it is our intent to finance future acquisitions using long-term fixed rate debt. However there may certain types of investments and market circumstances which may result in variable rate debt being the more appropriate choice of financing. To the extent floating rate debt is used to finance the purchase of real estate, management will evaluate a number of protections against significant increases in interest rates, including the purchase of interest rate caps instruments.

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 offering proceeds, 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 may draw upon lines of credit to acquire properties pending our receipt of proceeds from our offerings. 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.

Additionally, in order to leverage our investments in marketable securities and seek a higher rate of return, we borrowed using a margin loan collateralized by the securities held with the financial institution that provided the margin loan. This loan is due on demand and will be paid upon the liquidation of securities.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Advisor, our Dealer Manager, and our Property Manager during the various phases of our organization and operation. During our organizational and offering stage, these payments include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the dealer manager fee, and payments to our Advisor for the reimbursement of organizational and other offering costs. During our acquisition and development stage, these payments will include asset acquisition fees and asset management fees, and the reimbursement of acquisition related expenses to our Advisor. During our operational stage, we will pay our Property Manager a property management fee and our Advisor an asset management fee. We will also reimburse our Advisor and its affiliates for actual expenses it incurs for administrative and other services provided to us. Additionally, the Operating Partnership may be required to make distributions to Lightstone SLP II LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor.

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to our Advisor and our Property Manager:

In addition, total selling commissions and dealer manager fees incurred were $121 and $631 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 , respectively, and $219 and $693 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Our principal sources of cash flow were derived from net offering proceeds received and proceeds from mortgage financings. In the future, we expect to continue to acquire properties which should provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow to provide us with resources to fund our operating expenses, scheduled debt service and any quarterly distributions authorized by our Board of Directors.

Our principal demands for liquidity currently are acquisition and development activities, including a required property improvement plan (the “PIP”) for our SpringHill Suites Hotel, which is currently expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2013, scheduled debt service on our mortgages payable and costs associated with our public offerings. The principal sources of funding for our operations are currently the issuance of equity securities. The principal source of funding for the PIP is our restricted escrows. Additionally, we have a demand note receivable received from Lightstone REIT I in connection with the sale of our 20.0% joint venture ownership interest in the CP Boston Joint Venture with an outstanding balance of $2.3 million as of September 30, 2012. Furthermore, the mortgage on our SpringHill Suites Hotel provides for an additional single loan advance of up to $1.0 million no later than six months prior to July 13, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including completion of the PIP and achievement of a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.75. We currently do not expect the advance to be funded in the foreseeable future.

Operating activities

The net cash provided by operating activities of $0.9 million during the 2012 period primarily related to our net income of $5.1 million less (i) a nonrecurring third quarter bargain purchase gain of approximately $3.5 million related to our acquisition of the SpringHill Suites Hotel and (ii) a nonrecurring first quarter gain on disposition of approximately $0.7 million related to the disposition of our 20.0% joint venture ownership interest in the CP Boston Join Venture.

Investing activities

The net cash used in investing activities of $11.9 million during the 2012 period reflects (i) an aggregate of $10.1 million related to the acquisition of the Springhill Suites Hotel, including a restricted escrow of approximately $0.8 million and (ii) the placement in restricted escrows of approximately $2.7 million, including $2.4 million for the PIP (see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information), partially offset by (i) $0.6 million of aggregate cash proceeds received from Lightstone I related to the disposition of our 20.0% joint venture ownership interest in the CP Boston Joint Venture and (ii) $0.3 million of aggregate distributions received from our investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities.

Financing activities

The net cash provided by financing activities of $13.1 million during the 2012 period primarily consists of (i) proceeds from the issuance of our common stock of $6.3 million and (ii) net mortgage financing proceeds totaling $11.0 million on our TownePlace Suites Hotel and SpringHill Suites Hotel partially offset by (i) the payment of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering costs of $1.8 million, (ii) distributions to common stockholders of $1.2 million, (iii) distributions to noncontrolling interests of $0.3 million, (iv) redemptions and cancellations of shares of common stock of $0.4 million and (v) paydowns on our margin loan of $0.5 million.

We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Share Repurchase Program

Our DRIP provides our stockholders with an opportunity to purchase additional shares of our common stock at a discount by reinvesting distributions. As of September 30, 2012, we had 2,500,000 shares available for issuance under our DRIP and our DRIP price per share of common stock is $9.50. Our share repurchase program may provide our stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to certain restrictions. From our inception through December 31, 2009, we did not receive any requests to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we received requests to redeem 48,154 and 2,675 shares of common stock, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we received requests to repurchase 39,615 shares of common stock, pursuant to our share repurchase program. We repurchased 100% of the repurchase requests at an average price per share of $9.00 per share. We funded share redemptions for the periods noted above from the cumulative proceeds of the sale of our shares pursuant to our DRIP.

Our Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate either program for any reason without cause by providing written notice of termination of the DRIP to all participants or written notice of termination of the share repurchase program to all stockholders.

Notes:

In addition to the mortgages payable described above, in July 2011, we obtained access to and used 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. The amount outstanding under this margin loan was $2.9 million as of September 30, 2012 and is due on demand. The margin loan bears interest at Libor plus 0.85% (1.06% as of September 30, 2012).

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc., or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Additionally, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization and impairments, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, 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. However, FFO and MFFO, as described below, 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 method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses.

Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. We will use the proceeds raised in our offering to acquire properties, and we intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of the company or another similar transaction) within seven to ten years after the proceeds from the primary offering are fully invested. Thus, we will not continuously purchase assets and will have a limited life. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association, or IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as modified funds from operations, or MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, 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 our properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

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, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (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; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring 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. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. While we are responsible for managing interest rate, hedge and foreign exchange risk, we do retain an outside consultant to review all our hedging agreements. Inasmuch as interest rate hedges are not a fundamental part of our operations, we believe it is appropriate to exclude such non-recurring gains and losses in calculating MFFO, as such gains and losses are not reflective of ongoing operations.

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are acquired and 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 other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. MFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activities and have similar operating characteristics as us. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. 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. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by the advisor if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses will 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.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that our use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to non-listed REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures is useful to investors. For example, acquisition costs are funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily 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 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. MFFO has limitations as a performance measure in an offering such as ours where the price of a share of common stock is a stated value and there is no net asset value determination during the offering stage and for a period thereafter. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO or MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

The below table illustrates the items deducted in the calculation of FFO and MFFO. Items are presented net of noncontrolling interest portions where applicable.

Distributions Declared by our Board of Directors and Source of Distributions

The following tables provides a summary of our quarterly distributions declared for the three months ended September 30, 2012, June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively and the three months ended September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The amount of distributions paid to our stockholders in the future will be determined by our Board of Directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, our stockholders have the option to elect the receipt of shares in lieu of cash under our DRIP.
