Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc., which was formerly known as Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. before September 16, 2021, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) general economic and local real estate conditions and uncertainties regarding the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the inability of tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn in their business, (iii) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt, or other sources of financing on favorable terms, (iv) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (v) the level and volatility of interest rates, (vi) the effect of the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, as a variable rate debt benchmark and the transition to a different benchmark interest rate, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities and (viii) increases in operating costs. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized.

PART I.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS:

General Description of Business

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 December 31, 2021, 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 have one operating segment. As of December 31, 2021, we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 14 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,804 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 December 31, 2021, 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 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 December 31, 2021, 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 $2,000 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 $200,000, 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.

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

1

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.

Noncontrolling Interests – Partners of the Operating Partnership

Limited Partner

On May 20, 2008, our Advisor contributed $2,000 to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner common units in our Operating Partnership. The Advisor has the right to convert limited partner common units into cash or, at our option, an equal number of our Common Shares.

Associate General Partner

In connection with our 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 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 we make to our stockholders, but only after our stockholders have received a stated preferred return. There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Since our inception through December 31, 2021, 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.

Other Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

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

Operations - Operating Partnership Activity

Our Operating Partnership commenced its operations on October 1, 2009. Since then, we have and will continue to seek to primarily acquire and operate hospitality properties and to a lesser extent, acquire and operate other commercial properties (such as retail and industrial) and residential properties, and make real estate-related investments, principally in North America through our Operating Partnership. Our holdings currently consist of hospitality properties and retail properties (multi-tenanted shopping centers). All of our properties have been and will continue to be acquired and operated by us alone or jointly with others.

Related Parties

Our Advisor and its affiliates, and Lightstone SLP II, LLC are related parties. Certain of these entities are entitled to compensation for services related to the investment, management and disposition of our assets during our acquisition, operational and liquidation stages. The compensation levels during our 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 expense reimbursements as outlined in each of the respective agreements.

Primary Business Objectives and Strategies

Our primary objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a secondary objective of income without subjecting principal to undue risk.

Acquisition and Investment Policies 

We have and/or intend to continue to acquire commercial (including full-service or select service hotels and retail properties) and residential real estate assets, as well as other real estate-related investments principally in North America. Our acquisitions may include both portfolios and individual properties. Unlike other REITs, which typically specialize in one sector of the real estate market, we invest and may continue to invest in both residential and commercial properties as well as other real estate-related investments to create a diverse portfolio of property types and take advantage of our Sponsor’s expertise in acquiring larger properties and portfolios of both residential and commercial properties. We generally intend to hold each acquired property until its investment objectives are met or it is likely they will not be met.

We are not limited in the number, size or geographical location of any real estate assets. The number and mix of assets we acquire depends, in part, upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we acquire our assets. We may expand our focus to include properties located outside the United States. If we invest in properties outside of the United States, we intend to focus on properties which we believe to have similar characteristics as those properties in which we have previous investment and management expertise. We do not anticipate that these international investments would comprise more than 10% of our portfolio. Investment in areas outside of the United States may be subject to risks different than those impacting properties in the United States.

We have made and/or may make the following types of real estate investments:

● Fee interests in market-rate, multifamily properties located either in or near major metropolitan areas. We will attempt to identify those sub-markets with job growth opportunities and demand demographics which support potential long-term value appreciation for multifamily properties.

● Fee interests in power shopping centers and malls located in highly trafficked retail corridors, in selected high-barrier to entry markets and sub-markets. “Power” shopping centers are large retail complexes that are generally unenclosed and located in suburban areas that typically contain one or more large brand name retailers rather than a department store anchor tenant. We will attempt to identify those sub-markets with constraints on the amount of additional property supply, which will make future competition less likely.

● Fee interests in improved, multi-tenanted, industrial properties and properties that contain industrial and office space (“industrial flex”) located near major transportation arteries and distribution corridors with limited management responsibilities.

● Fee interests in improved, multi-tenanted, office properties located near major transportation arteries in urban and suburban areas.

● Fee interests in lodging properties located near major transportation arteries in urban and suburban areas.

● Preferred equity interests in entities that own the property types listed above.

● Mezzanine loans secured by the pledges of equity interests in entities that own the property types listed above.

● Commercial mortgage-backed securities secured by mortgages on real property.

● Collateralized debt obligations.

● Investments in equity securities issued by public or private real estate companies.

In addition, we may diversify our portfolio by investing up to 20% of our net assets in collateralized debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage and mezzanine loans secured, directly or indirectly, by the same types of properties which we may acquire directly. We may also acquire majority or minority interests in other entities (or business units of such entities) with investment objectives similar to ours or with management, investment or development capabilities that our Board of Directors deems desirable or advantageous to acquire.

3

Financing Strategy and Policies

We have and intend to continue to utilize leverage to make our investments. The number of different investments 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, we may purchase certain investments for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time. There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single investment or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any investment.

Our charter restricts the aggregate amount we may borrow, both secured and unsecured, to 300% of net assets in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level is appropriate, the approval of the Board of Directors and disclosure to the stockholders. In addition, our charter limits our aggregate long-term permanent borrowings (having a maturity greater than two years) to 75% of the aggregate fair market value of all investments unless any excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders. Our charter also prohibits us from making or investing in mortgage loans, including construction loans, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including our loans, would exceed 85% of the property’s appraised value.

We may finance our investment acquisitions through a variety of means, including but not limited to single property mortgages, as well as, mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of property and through exchange of an interest in the property for limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. Generally, though not exclusively, we intend to seek to finance our investments with debt which will be on a non-recourse basis. However, we may, secure recourse financing or provide a guarantee to lenders, if we believe this may result in more favorable terms.

Distributions on Common Shares

Objectives

U.S. federal income tax law requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available.

We are an accrual basis taxpayer, and as such our REIT taxable income could be higher than the cash available to us. We may therefore borrow to make distributions, which could reduce the cash available to us, in order to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income as a condition to our election to be taxed as a REIT. These distributions made with borrowed funds may constitute a return of capital to stockholders. “Return of capital” refers to distributions to investors in excess of net income. To the extent that distributions to stockholders exceed earnings and profits, such amounts constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although such distributions might not reduce stockholders’ aggregate invested capital. Because our earnings and profits are reduced for depreciation and other non-cash items, it is likely that a portion of each distribution will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Our Board of Directors commenced declaring and we began paying regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares at the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.65 per share, or an annualized rate of 6.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2015. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares to the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.70 per share, or an annualized rate of 7.0% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Additionally, in February 2017 our Board of Directors declared, and in March 2017 we paid a special “catch-up” distribution on our Common Shares at an annualized rate of 0.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share for all the quarterly periods beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 and ending with the third quarter of 2015.

On March 19, 2020, our Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions. As a result, there were no distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Future distributions declared, 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 other 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.

4

Distributions on Subordinated Profits Interests

There were no distributions paid on the Subordinated Profit Interests through December 31, 2016. However, in connection with the Board of Directors declaration of a special distribution on our Common Shares on February 28, 2017, they also declared that distributions be brought current through December 31, 2016 on the Subordinated Profits Interests at a 7% annualized rate of return which amounted to $4.2 million and were paid to Lightstone SLP II, LLC on March 15, 2017. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, our Board of Directors declared, and we paid regular quarterly distributions on the Subordinated Profits Interests at an annualized rate of 7.0% along with the regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares for all quarterly periods through December 31, 2019.

These Subordinated Profits Interests may entitle the Associate General Partner to a portion of any regular and liquidation distributions that we makes to our stockholders, but only after our stockholders have received a stated preferred return. There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Since the our inception through December 31, 2021, 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.

Share Repurchase Program

Our share repurchase program (the “SRP”) may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their Common Shares back to us, 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 our current NAV per Share, as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by us 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 us 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, we 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 year ended December 31, 2021 we repurchased 98,866 shares of Common Shares, pursuant to the SRP, for $8.02 per share. For the period from January 1 through March 18, 2020, we repurchased 82,413 common Shares, pursuant to the SRP, for $10.00 per share.

Tax Status

We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2009. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. To maintain our REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If we fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We engage in certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), including when we acquire a hotel we usually establish a TRS which then enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, we are subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no material uncertain income tax positions. Additionally, even if we continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed income, if any.

COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its 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, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy 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 (late 2020 and continuing throughout 2021); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our operations, financial position and cash flow; and while the severity of the impact has lessened, we currently expect we will continue to 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 hotels. Additionally, we have an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which owns two retail properties located in New Jersey that were subject to various restrictions. If the Brownmill Joint Venture’s retail properties are negatively impacted 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.

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

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

● Amendments to Revolving Credit Facility –   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) 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.   See Note 5 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”). During 2021, we received notices from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) that all of the PPP Loans from April 2020 along with their accrued interest had been legally forgiven. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions and, as a result, no distributions have been declared on our Common Shares or the Subordinated Profits Interests since the suspension. Additionally, on March 19, 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 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● The Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture has obtained various amendments to its non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. See Note 3 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 to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s option as discussed in Note 5 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.

Competition

The hotel and other commercial real estate markets are highly competitive. This competition could reduce occupancy levels and revenues at our properties, which would adversely affect our operations. We face competition from many sources. We face competition from other hotels both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market where our hotels are located. Overbuilding in the hotel industry may increase the number of rooms available and may decrease occupancy and room rates. In addition, increases in operating costs due to inflation may not be offset by increased room rates. We also face competition from nationally recognized hotel brands with which we will not be associated.

We have or may compete in all of our markets with other owners and operators of retail, office, industrial and residential real estate. The continued development of new retail, office, industrial and residential properties has intensified the competition among owners and operators of these types of real estate in many market areas in which we intend to operate. We compete based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The number of competing properties in a particular market could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on the operating expenses of certain of our properties.

In addition, we compete with other entities engaged in real estate investment activities to locate suitable properties to acquire and to locate tenants and purchasers for our properties. These competitors include other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, governmental bodies and other entities. There are also other REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours and others that may be organized in the future. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater marketing and financial resources than we will have and generally may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants. In addition, these same entities seek financing through similar channels to those sought by us. Therefore, we will compete for institutional investors in a market where funds for real estate investment may decrease.

Competition from these and other third party real estate investors may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us. It may also result in higher prices, lower yields and a narrower spread of yields over our borrowing costs, making it more difficult for us to acquire new investments on attractive terms. In addition, competition for desirable investments could delay investments, which may in turn reduce our earnings per share and negatively affect our ability make distributions to stockholders.

We believe that our senior management’s experience, coupled with our financing, professionalism, diversity of properties and reputation in the industry enables us to compete with the other real estate investment companies.

Because we are organized as an UPREIT, we believe we are well positioned within the industries in which we operate to potentially offer existing owners the opportunity to contribute properties to Lightstone REIT II in tax-deferred transactions using our Operating Partnership units as transactional currency. As a result, we believe we may have a competitive advantage over most of our competitors that are structured as traditional REITs and non-REITs in pursuing acquisitions with tax-sensitive sellers.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of U.S. federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest, or on properties that may be acquired directly or indirectly in the future.

Employees

We do not have employees. We have entered into an advisory agreement pursuant to which our 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 our Advisor fees for services related to the investment and management of our assets, and we reimburse our Advisor for certain expenses incurred on our behalf.

PART II.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES:

Shareholder Information

As of March 15, 2022, we had 17.2 million shares of our common stock (“Common Shares”) outstanding, held by a total of 5,212 stockholders. The number of stockholders is based on the records of DST Systems Inc., which serves as our registrar and transfer agent.

Market Information

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 active market for our Common Shares until they are listed for trading. In the event we do not begin the process of achieving a liquidity event prior to September 27, 2024, which is the tenth anniversary of the termination of our Follow-On Offering, our charter requires either (a) an amendment to our charter to extend the deadline to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event, or (b) the holding of a stockholders meeting to vote on a proposal for an orderly liquidation of our portfolio.

Estimated Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and NAV per Share of Common Stock (“NAV per Share”)

On March 24, 2022, our Board of Directors determined and approved our estimated NAV of $163.9 million and resulting estimated NAV per Share of $9.45, both as of December 31, 2021 and both after Lightstone SLP II LLC’s purchase of Subordinated Profits Interests in our Operating Partnership. In the calculation of our estimated NAV, no allocation of value was made to Lightstone SLP II LLC’s Subordinated Profits Interests because the estimated NAV per Share did not exceed an aggregate $10.00 price per share plus a cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return of 7.0% as of December 31, 2021. In connection with our Offerings, which concluded on September 27, 2014, Lightstone SLP II LLC contributed (i) cash of $12.9 million and (ii) aggregate equity interests of 48.6% in Brownmill, which were aggregately valued at $4.8 million, in exchange for 177.0 Subordinated Profits Interests, at a cost of $100,000 per unit, with an aggregate value of $17.7 million.

The estimated NAV of our shares was calculated as of a particular point in time. The estimated NAV of our shares will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual assets in the portfolio and the management of those assets and in response to the real estate and finance markets. There is no assurance of the extent to which the current estimated valuation should be relied upon for any purpose after its effective date regardless that it may be published on any statement issued by us or otherwise.

Process and Methodology

Our Advisor, along with any necessary material assistance or confirmation of a third-party valuation expert or service, is responsible for calculating our estimated NAV and resulting NAV per Share, which we currently expect will be done on at least an annual basis unless our Common Shares are approved for listing on a national securities exchange. Our Board of Directors will review and approve each estimate of NAV and resulting NAV per Share.

Our estimated NAV and resulting NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021 were calculated with the assistance of both our Advisor and Robert A. Stanger & Co. Inc. (“Stanger”), an independent third-party valuation firm engaged by us to assist with the valuation of our assets, liabilities and any allocations of value to Subordinated Profits Interests. Our Advisor recommended and our Board of Directors established the estimated NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021 based upon the analyses and reports provided by our Advisor and Stanger. The process for estimating the value of our assets, liabilities and any allocation of value to the Subordinated Profits Interests is performed in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Program Association Practice Guideline 2013-01, “Valuation of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs.” We believe that our valuations were developed in a manner reasonably designed to ensure their reliability.

The engagement of Stanger with respect to our estimated NAV and resulting NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021 was approved by our Board of Directors, including all of our independent directors. Stanger has extensive experience in conducting asset valuations, including valuations of commercial real estate, debt, properties and real estate-related investments.

11

With respect to our estimated NAV and resulting NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021, Stanger prepared appraisal reports (the “Stanger Appraisal Reports”), summarizing key inputs and assumptions, on 16 properties (14 hospitality properties and two retail properties and collectively, the ’’Stanger Appraised Properties’’) of the 17 properties in which we held ownership interests as of December 31, 2021.

Stanger also prepared a NAV report (the “December 2021 NAV Report”) which estimated the NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021. The December 2021 NAV Report relied upon (i) the Stanger Appraisal Reports for the Stanger Appraised Properties and an appraisal report prepared by another independent third-party valuation firm for the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City, (ii) Stanger’s estimated value of our mortgage and notes payable, (iii) Stanger’s estimate of the allocation of any value to the Subordinated Profits Interests, and (iv) our Advisor’s estimate of the value of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, restricted cash, other assets, other liabilities and other noncontrolling interests, to calculate estimated NAV per Share, all as of December 31, 2021.

The table below sets forth the calculation of our estimated NAV and resulting estimated NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021 as well as the comparable calculation as of December 31, 2020.

Use of Independent Valuation Firm:

As discussed above, our Advisor is responsible for calculating our NAV. In connection with determining our NAV, our Advisor may rely on the material assistance or confirmation of a third-party valuation expert or service. In this regard, Stanger was selected by our Board of Directors to assist our Advisor in the calculation of our estimated NAV and resulting estimated NAV per Share as of December 31, 2021. Stanger’s services included appraising the Stanger Appraised Properties and preparing the December 2021 NAV Report. Stanger is engaged in the business of appraising commercial real estate properties and is not affiliated with us or our Advisor. The compensation we paid to Stanger was based on the scope of work and not on the appraised values of our real estate properties. The appraisals were performed in accordance with the Code of Ethics and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, or USPAP, the real estate appraisal industry standards created by The Appraisal Foundation. The Stanger Appraisal Reports were reviewed, approved, and signed by an individual with the professional designation of MAI licensed in the state where each real property is located. The use of the reports is subject to the requirements of the Appraisal Institute relating to review by its duly authorized representatives. In preparing its reports, Stanger did not, and was not requested to; solicit third-party indications of interest for our common stock in connection with possible purchases thereof or the acquisition of all or any part of us.

12

Stanger collected reasonably available material information that it deemed relevant in appraising these real estate properties. Stanger relied in part on property-level information provided by our Advisor, including (i) property historical and projected operating revenues and expenses; and (ii) information regarding recent or planned capital expenditures.

In conducting their investigation and analyses, Stanger took into account customary and accepted financial and commercial procedures and considerations as they deemed relevant. Although Stanger reviewed information supplied or otherwise made available by us or our Advisor for reasonableness, they assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information and of all information supplied or otherwise made available to them by any other party and did not independently verify any such information. Stanger assumed that any operating or financial forecasts and other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with Stanger were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the then best currently available estimates and judgments of our management, our Board of Directors, and/or our Advisor. Stanger relied on us to advise them promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of their review.

In performing its analyses, Stanger made numerous other assumptions as of various points in time with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, and regulatory conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond their control and our control. Stanger also made assumptions with respect to certain factual matters. For example, unless specifically informed to the contrary, Stanger assumed that we have clear and marketable title to each real estate property appraised, that no title defects exist, that any improvements were made in accordance with law, that no hazardous materials are present or were present previously, that no significant deed restrictions exist, and that no changes to zoning ordinances or regulations governing use, density, or shape are pending or being considered. Furthermore, Stanger’s analyses, opinions, and conclusions were necessarily based upon market, economic, financial, and other circumstances and conditions existing as of or prior to the date of the Stanger Appraisal Reports, and any material change in such circumstances and conditions may affect Stanger’s analyses and conclusions. The Stanger Appraisal Reports contain other assumptions, qualifications, and limitations that qualify the analyses, opinions, and conclusions set forth therein. Furthermore, the prices at which our real estate properties may actually be sold could differ from Stanger’s analyses.

Stanger is actively engaged in the business of appraising commercial real estate properties similar to those owned by us in connection with public security offerings, private placements, business combinations, and similar transactions. We do not believe that there are any material conflicts of interest between Stanger, on the one hand, and us, our Sponsor, our Advisor, and our affiliates, on the other hand. Our Advisor engaged Stanger on behalf of our Board of Directors to deliver their reports to assist in the NAV calculation as of December 31, 2021 and Stanger received compensation for those efforts. In addition, we agreed to indemnify Stanger against certain liabilities arising out of this engagement. Stanger has previously assisted in our prior NAV calculations and has also been engaged by us for certain appraisal and valuation services in connection with our financial reporting requirements. Stanger has received usual and customary fees in connection with those services. Stanger may from time to time in the future perform other services for us and our Sponsor or other affiliates of the Sponsor, so long as such other services do not adversely affect the independence of Stanger as certified in the Appraisal Reports. During the past two years Stanger has also been engaged to provide appraisal services to another non-trade REIT sponsored by our Sponsor for which it was paid usual and customary fees.

Although Stanger considered any comments received from us and our Advisor relating to their reports, the final appraised values of the Stanger Appraised Properties were determined by Stanger. The reports were addressed to our Board of Directors to assist our Board of Directors in calculating an estimated value per share of our common stock as of December 31, 2021. The reports were not addressed to the public, may not be relied upon by any other person to establish an estimated value per share of our common stock, and do not constitute a recommendation to any person to purchase or sell any shares of our common stock.

Our goal in calculating our estimated NAV is to arrive at values that are reasonable and supportable using what we deem to be appropriate valuation methodologies and assumptions. The reports, including the analysis, opinions, and conclusions set forth in such reports, are qualified by the assumptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth in the respective reports. The following is a summary of our valuation methodologies used to value our assets and liabilities by key component:

Real Estate Properties: As of December 31, 2021, we have ownership interests in (i) 14 consolidated properties and (ii) three unconsolidated real estate properties held in joint ventures (collectively, the “Real Estate Properties”). With respect to our consolidated properties as of December 31, 2021, we majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 14 hospitality properties, or select services hotels, containing a total of 1,804 rooms (collectively, the “Consolidated Real Estate Properties”). With respect to our unconsolidated properties as of December 31, 2021, we held a (i) 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, an affiliated real estate entity, which owns two retail properties known as Browntown Shopping Center located in Old Bridge, New jersey and Milburn Mall located in Vauxhaull, New Jersey and collectively are referred to as the Brownmill Properties and (ii) 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture, an affiliated real estate entity, which owns the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City, 183-room, limited-service hotel located in Long Island City. We do not consolidate our membership interests in the Brownmill Joint Venture and the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture but rather account for them both under the equity method of accounting.

13

As described above, we engaged Stanger to provide an appraisal of the Stanger Appraised Properties, which consisted of 16 of the 17 Real Estate Assets in which we held ownership interests as of December 31, 2021. We also engaged another third-party valuation firm to provide an appraisal report for the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. In preparing their appraisal reports, Stanger and the other independent third-party valuation firm, among other things:

● Performed a site visit of each property in connection with this assignment or previous assignments;

● Interviewed our officers or our Advisor’s personnel to obtain information relating to the physical condition of each appraised property, including known environmental conditions, status of ongoing or planned property additions and reconfigurations, and other factors for such leased properties;

● Reviewed lease agreements for those properties subject to a long-term lease and discussed with us or our Advisor certain lease provisions and factors on each property; and

● Reviewed the acquisition criteria and parameters used by real estate investors for properties similar to the subject properties, including a search of real estate data sources and publications concerning real estate buyer’s criteria, discussions with sources deemed appropriate, and a review of transaction data for similar properties.

Stanger and the other independent third-party valuation firm employed the income approach and the sales comparison approach to estimate the value of the appraised properties. The income approach involves an economic analysis of the property based on its potential to provide future net annual income. As part of the valuation, a discounted cash flow analysis (“DCF Analysis”) and direct capitalization analysis (“DC Analysis”) was used in the income approach to determine the value of our interest in the portfolio. The indicated value by the income approach represents the amount an investor may pay for the expectation of receiving the net cash flow from the property.

The DC Analysis is based upon the net operating income of the property capitalized at an appropriate capitalization rate for the property based upon property characteristics and competitive position and market conditions at the date of the appraisal.

In applying the DCF Analysis, pro forma statements of operations for the property including revenues and expenses are analyzed and projected over a multi-year period. The property is assumed to be sold at the end of the multi-year holding period. The reversion value of the property which can be realized upon sale at the end of the holding period is calculated based on the capitalization of the estimated net operating income of the property in the year of sale, utilizing a capitalization rate deemed appropriate in light of the age, anticipated functional and economic obsolescence and competitive position of the property at the time of sale. Net proceeds to owners are determined by deducting appropriate costs of sale. The discount rate selected for the DCF Analysis is based upon estimated target rates of return for buyers of similar properties.

The sales comparison approach utilizes indices of value derived from actual or proposed sales of comparable properties to estimate the value of the subject property. The appraiser analyzed such comparable sale data as was available to develop a market value conclusion for the subject property.

Stanger prepared the Stanger Appraisal Reports and the other independent third-party valuation firm prepared an appraisal report for the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City, summarizing key inputs and assumptions, for each of the appraised properties using financial information provided by us and our Advisor. From such review, Stanger and the other independent third-party valuation firm selected the appropriate cash flow discount rate, residual discount rate, and terminal capitalization rate in the DCF Analysis, if applicable, the appropriate capitalization rate in the DC Analysis and the appropriate price per unit in the sales comparison analysis. As for those properties consolidated on our financials, and for which we do not own 100% of the ownership interest, the property value was adjusted to reflect our ownership interest in such property after consideration of the distribution priorities associated with each property.

The estimated values for our investments in real estate may or may not represent current market values and do not equal the book values of our real estate investments in accordance with GAAP. Our consolidated investments in real estate are currently carried in our consolidated financial statements at their amortized cost basis, adjusted for any loss impairments and bargain purchase gains recognized to date. Our unconsolidated investments in real estate are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in our consolidated financial statements.

14

For four of our hospitality properties included in the Stanger Appraised Properties, all of which are consolidated, Stanger deemed it appropriate to estimate their values using a DC Analysis. For these four hospitality properties, the weighted-average exit capitalization rate was 6.82%.

The following summarizes the key assumptions that were used in each DCF Analysis to estimate the value of the remaining Stanger Appraised Properties (10 hospitality properties, all of which are consolidated, and two retail properties, both of which are unconsolidated) and the Hilton Garden Inn - Long Island City, which is unconsolidated, as of December 31, 2021:

	Consolidated Real Estate Properties			Unconsolidated Real Estate Properties
	(10 hospitality properties)			(two retail properties)			(one hospitality property)
Weighted-average:
Exit capitalization rate		8.15	%		7.29	%		5.75	%
Discount rate		9.76	%		7.92	%		6.75	%
Annual market rent growth rate		6.30	%		0.81	%		6.44	%
Annual net operating income growth rate		20.86	%		1.39	%		8.78	%
Holding period (in years)		10			10			12

While we believe that the assumptions utilized are reasonable, a change in these assumptions would affect the calculation of the value of our Real Estate Properties. The table below presents the estimated increase or decrease to our estimated NAV per Share resulting from a 25-basis point increase and decrease in the discount rates and capitalization rates. The table is presented to provide a hypothetical illustration of possible results if only one change in assumptions was made, with all other factors remaining constant. Further, each of these assumptions could change by more or less than 25 basis points or not at all.

	Change in NAV per Share
	Increase of			Decrease of
	25 basis points			25 basis points
Capitalization rate	$	(0.39	)	$	0.42
Discount rate	$	(0.22	)	$	0.24

As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate estimated value of our Consolidated Real Estate Properties was $250.6 million and the aggregate carrying value of our Consolidated Real Estate Properties was $215.2 million, which equates to an overall increase in value of 16.5%.

As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of our 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture of $15.3 million was calculated based on the gross appraised value of the Brownmill Properties of $44.4 million less the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness of $13.7 million plus all other non-real estate assets and liabilities, net of $0.6 million. The estimated fair value of our 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture of $15.3 million compared to our carrying value of $6.8 million, both as of December 31, 2021, equates to an increase in value of 125%.

As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of our 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture of $17.9 million was calculated based on the gross appraised value of the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City of $66.5 million less the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness of $33.1 million plus all other non-real estate assets and liabilities, net of $2.3 million. The estimated fair value of our 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture of $17.9 million compared to our carrying value of $11.2 million, both as of December 31, 2021, equates to an increase in value of 59.8%.

15

Cash and cash equivalents: The estimated values of our cash and cash equivalents approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Marketable securities, available for sale: The estimated values of our marketable securities are based on Level 2 inputs. Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Restricted cash: The estimated values of our restricted cash approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Other assets: Our other assets consist of tenant accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets. The estimated values of these items approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities. Certain other items, primarily straight-line rent receivable, intangibles and deferred costs, have been eliminated for the purpose of the valuation because those items were already considered in our valuation of the respective investments in real estate properties or financial instruments.

Mortgages payable: The values for our mortgages payable were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which used inputs based on the remaining loan terms and estimated current market interest rates for loans with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term and loan-to-value ratios. The current market interest rate was generally determined based on market rates for available comparable debt. The estimated current market interest rates for mortgages payable ranged from 4.06% to 5.57%.

Margin loan: Our margin loan bears interest at a variable rate and is due on demand and therefore, its estimated value was assumed to approximate its carrying value because it bears interest at a variable rate and has a short maturity.

Other liabilities: Our other liabilities consist of our accounts payable and accrued expenses, amounts due to related parties, deposits payable, distributions payable and deferred rental income. The carrying values of these items were considered to equal their fair value due to their short maturities. Additionally, certain outstanding notes payable were excluded as we expect them to be fully forgiven.

Other noncontrolling interests: Our other noncontrolling interests represent the estimated values of the ownership interests of others in certain of our consolidated properties pursuant to the terms of their applicable operating agreements.

Allocations of Value to Subordinated Profits Interests: 

The Subordinated Profits Interests held by Lightstone SLP II LLC, an affiliate of our Advisor, are classified in noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheet. However, for purposes of our NAV, we do not estimate their fair value in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the IPA’s Practice Guideline 2013—01 provides for adjustments to the NAV for preferred securities, special interests and incentive fees based on the aggregate NAV of the company and payable to the sponsor in a hypothetical liquidation of the company as of the valuation date in accordance with the provisions of the partnership or advisory agreements and the terms of the preferred securities. Because certain distributions related to our Subordinated Profits Interests are only payable to their holder in a liquidation event, we believe they should be valued for our NAV in accordance with these provisions.

Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of our operating agreement, no allocations are to the holder of the Subordinated Profits Interests unless the estimated NAV per Share would have exceeded $10.00 per share plus a cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return of 7.0% as of the indicated valuation date. In connection with our Offerings, which concluded on September 27, 2014, Lightstone SLP II LLC acquired an aggregate of $17.7 million of Subordinated Profits Interests. In the calculation of our estimated NAV, no allocation of value was made to the holder of the Subordinated Profits Interests because the estimated NAV per Share did not exceed an aggregate $10.00 price per share plus a cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded annual return of 7.0% as of December 31, 2021.

Historical Estimated NAV and NAV per Share

Additional information on our historical reported estimated NAV and NAV per Share as of December 31, 2020 may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 30, 2021.

Limitations and Risks

As with any valuation methodology, the methodology used to determine our estimated NAV and resulting estimated NAV per Share is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may prove later not to be accurate or complete. Further, different participants with different property-specific and general real estate and capital market assumptions, estimates, judgments and standards could derive a different estimated NAV per Share, which could be significantly different from the estimated NAV per Share approved by our Board of Directors. The estimated NAV per Share approved by our Board of Directors does not represent the fair value of our assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP, and such estimated NAV per Share is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that:

● A stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares of common stock at the estimated NAV per Share;

● A stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share of common stock equal to the estimated NAV per Share upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of the Company;

● Our shares of common stock would trade at the estimated NAV per Share on a national securities exchange;

● An independent third-party appraiser or other third-party valuation firm would agree with the estimated NAV per Share; or

● The methodology used to estimate our NAV per Share would be acceptable to FINRA or under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act with respect to their respective requirements.

The Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor do not provide any guidance on the methodology an issuer must use to determine its estimated NAV per share. FINRA guidance provides that NAV valuations be derived from a methodology that conforms to standard industry practice.

As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive different estimated NAVs and resulting NAVs per share, and these differences could be significant. The estimated NAV per Share is not audited and does not represent the fair value of our assets less our liabilities in accordance GAAP, nor do they represent an actual liquidation value of our assets and liabilities or the amount shares of our common stock would trade at on a national securities exchange. As of the date of this filing, although we have not sought stockholder approval to adopt a plan of liquidation of the Company, certain distributions may be payable to Lightstone SLP, LLC for its SLP Units in connection with a liquidation event. Accordingly, our estimated NAV reflects any allocations of value to the SLP Units representing the amount that would be payable to Lightstone SLP, LLC in connection with a liquidation event pursuant to the guidelines for estimating NAV contained in IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01, “Valuation of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs.” Our estimated NAV per Share is based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities and other noncontrolling interests less any allocations to the Subordinated Profits Interests divided by the number of our diluted shares of common stock outstanding, all as of the date indicated. Our estimated NAV per Share does not reflect a discount for the fact we are externally managed, nor does it reflect a real estate portfolio premium/discount versus the sum of the individual property values. Our estimated NAV per Share does not take into account estimated disposition costs or fees or penalties, if any, that may apply upon the prepayment of certain of our debt obligations or the impact of restrictions on the assumption of certain debt. Our estimated NAV per Share will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, future acquisitions or dispositions of assets, developments related to individual assets and the management of those assets and changes in the real estate and capital markets. Different parties using different assumptions and estimates could derive different NAVs and resulting estimated NAVs per share, and these differences could be significant. Markets for real estate and real estate-related investments can fluctuate and values are expected to change in the future. We currently expect that our Advisor will estimate our NAV on at least an annual basis. Our Board of Directors will review and approve each estimate of NAV and resulting estimated NAV per Share.

The following factors may cause a stockholder not to ultimately realize distributions per share of common stock equal to the estimated NAV per Share upon liquidation:

● The methodology used to determine estimated NAV per Share includes a number of estimates and assumptions that may not prove to be accurate or complete as compared to the actual amounts received in the liquidation;

● In a liquidation, certain assets may not be liquidated at their estimated values because of transfer fees and disposition fees, which are not reflected in the estimated NAV calculation;

17

● In a liquidation, debt obligations may have to be prepaid and the costs of any prepayment penalties may reduce the liquidation amounts. Prepayment penalties are not included in determining the estimated value of liabilities in determining estimated NAV;

● In a liquidation, the real estate assets may derive a portfolio premium which premium is not considered in determining estimated NAV;

● In a liquidation, the potential buyers of the assets may use different estimates and assumptions than those used in determining estimated NAV;

● If the liquidation occurs through a listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange, the capital markets may value the Company’s net assets at a different amount than the estimated NAV. Such valuation would likely be based upon customary REIT valuation methodology including funds from operation (“FFO”) multiples of other comparable REITs, FFO coverage of dividends and adjusted FFO payout of the Company’s anticipated dividend; and

● If the liquidation occurs through a merger of the Company with another REIT, the amount realized for the common stock may not equal the estimated NAV per Share because of many factors including the aggregate consideration received, the make-up of the consideration (e.g., cash, stock or both), the performance of any stock received as part of the consideration during the merger process and thereafter, the reception of the merger in the market and whether the market believes the pricing of the merger was fair to both parties.

Share Repurchase Program

Our share repurchase program (the “SRP”) may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell Common Shares back to us, 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 our current NAV per Share, as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by us 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 us 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, we 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 year ended December 31, 2021 we repurchased 98,866 shares of Common Shares, pursuant to the SRP, for $8.02 per share. For the period from January 1 through March 18, 2020, we repurchased 82,413 Common Shares, pursuant to the SRP, for $10.00 per share.

Distributions

Distribution Objectives

U.S. federal income tax law requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available.

We are an accrual basis taxpayer, and as such our REIT taxable income could be higher than the cash available to us. We may therefore borrow to make distributions, which could reduce the cash available to us, in order to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income as a condition to our election to be taxed as a REIT. These distributions made with borrowed funds may constitute a return of capital to stockholders. “Return of capital” refers to distributions to investors in excess of net income. To the extent that distributions to stockholders exceed earnings and profits, such amounts constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although such distributions might not reduce stockholders’ aggregate invested capital. Because our earnings and profits are reduced for depreciation and other non-cash items, it is likely that a portion of each distribution will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

18

Distributions and Distributions Declared by our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors commenced declaring and we began paying regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares at the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.65 per share, or an annualized rate of 6.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2015. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, our Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares to the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.70 per share, or an annualized rate of 7.0% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Additionally, in February 2017 our Board of Directors declared, and in March 2017 we paid a special “catch-up” distribution on our Common Shares at an annualized rate of 0.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share for all the quarterly periods beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 and ending with the third quarter of 2015.

On March 19, 2020, our Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions. As a result, there were no distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Future distributions declared, 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 other 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.

Distributions on Subordinated Profits Interests

There were no distributions paid on the Subordinated Profit Interests through December 31, 2016. However, in connection with the Board of Directors declaration of a special distribution on our Common Shares on February 28, 2017, they also declared that distributions be brought current through December 31, 2016 on the Subordinated Profits Interests at a 7% annualized rate of return which amounted to $4.2 million and were paid to Lightstone SLP II, LLC on March 15, 2017. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, our Board of Directors declared, and we paid regular quarterly distributions on the Subordinated Profits Interests at an annualized rate of 7.0% along with the regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares for all quarterly periods through December 31, 2019.

These Subordinated Profits Interests may entitle the Associate General Partner to a portion of any regular and liquidation distributions that we make to our stockholders, but only after its stockholders have received a stated preferred return. There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Since our inception through December 31, 2021, 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.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the period covered by this Form 10-K, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Please see “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for a description of these risks and uncertainties. Dollar amounts are presented in thousands, except per share data and where indicated in millions.

Overview

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, together with Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, LP (the “Operating Partnership” and collectively “the Company”, also referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”) has and may continue to acquire and operate commercial (including hospitality and retail properties) and residential real estate assets, as well as other real estate-related investments, principally in the United States. Our acquisitions and investments are principally conducted through our Operating Partnership and generally include both portfolios and individual properties. Our commercial holdings currently consist of hospitality and retail (multi-tenanted shopping centers) properties. Our real estate investments have been and will continue to be acquired and operated by us alone or jointly with others.

We do not have employees. We have entered into an advisory agreement 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.

We engage in certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), including when we acquire a hotel we usually establish a TRS which then enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, we are subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities.

Acquisitions and Investment Strategy

We have made and intend to continue to make direct or indirect real estate investments that will satisfy our primary investment objectives of preserving capital, paying distributions, if necessary to maintain our status as a REIT, and achieving appreciation of our assets over the long term. The ability of our Advisor to identify and execute investment opportunities directly impacts our financial performance.

We will continue to seek to acquire and operate hotels and other commercial real estate assets primarily located in the United States. We may also acquire and operate residential properties and make other real estate-related investments. We may acquire and operate all such properties alone or jointly with another party.

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, and recession.

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

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its 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, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy 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 (late 2020 and continuing throughout 2021); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our operations, financial position and cash flow; and while the severity of the impact has lessened, we currently expect we will continue to 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 its hotels. Additionally, we have an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which owns two retail properties located in New Jersey that were subject to various restrictions. If the Brownmill Joint Venture’s retail properties are negatively impacted for an extended period because its tenants are unable to pay their rent, our 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, we have taken various actions to preserve its liquidity, including the following: 

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

● Amendments to Revolving Credit Facility –   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.   See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

21

● 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”). During 2021, we received notices from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) that all of the PPP Loans from April 2020 along with their accrued interest had been legally forgiven. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions and, as a result, no distributions have been declared on our Common Shares or the Subordinated Profits Interests since the suspension. Additionally, on March 19, 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 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

● The Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture has obtained various amendments to its non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. See Note 3 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 to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s option as discussed in Note 5 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-K. 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 Estimates and Policies

General.

Our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report include our accounts and the Operating Partnership (over which we exercise financial and operating control). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and judgments may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including contingencies and litigation. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable in the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

To assist in understanding our results of operations and financial position, we have identified our critical accounting policies and discussed them below. These accounting policies are most important to the portrayal of our results and financial position, either because of the significance of the financial statement items to which they relate or because they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

22

Revenue Recognition.

Our revenues are comprised primarily of revenues from the operations of hotels.

Room revenue is generated through contracts with customers whereby the customers agree to pay a daily rate for right to use a hotel room. Our contract performance obligations are fulfilled at the end of the day that the customer is provided the room and revenue is recognized daily at the contract rate. Payment from the customer is secured at the end of the contract upon check-out by the customer from our hotel. We participate in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels whereby the brand owner allows guests to earn loyalty points during their hotel stay. We recognize revenue at the amount earned that it will receive from the brand owner when a guest redeems their loyalty points by staying at one of our hotels.

Revenue from food, beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized when these goods or services are provided to the customer and our contract performance obligations have been fulfilled.

Some contracts for rooms, food, beverage or other services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as deferred revenues (or contract liabilities) and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied. The contract liabilities are not significant.

There are no significant judgments regarding the recognition of room, food and beverage or other revenues.

Investments in Real Estate.

Carrying Value of Assets

The amounts to be capitalized as a result of periodic improvements and additions to real estate property, when applicable, and the periods over which the assets will be depreciated or amortized, are determined based on the application of accounting standards that may require estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets. Differences in the amount attributed to the assets may be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Impairment Evaluation

We evaluate our investments in real estate assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular property. We evaluate the recoverability of our investments in real estate assets at the lowest identifiable level, the individual property level. No single indicator would necessarily result in us preparing an estimate to determine if an individual property’s future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. We use judgment to determine if the severity of any single indicator, or the fact there are a number of indicators of less severity that when combined, would result in an indication that a property requires an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment has occurred. Relevant facts and circumstances include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis are subjective and require us to use our judgment and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and recent sales data for comparable properties. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the applicable real estate asset. We generally use estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements and five to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense as incurred.

23

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities.

We evaluate all investments in other entities for consolidation. We consider our percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, our investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective joint venture and our share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated entities.

We review investments for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. The ultimate realization of our investment in partially owned entities is dependent on a number of factors including the performance of that entity and market conditions. If we determine that a decline in the value of a partially owned entity is other than temporary, we record an impairment charge.

Treatment of Management Compensation, Expense Reimbursements and Operating Partnership Participation Interest

Management of our operations is outsourced to our Advisor and certain other affiliates of our Sponsor. Fees related to each of these services are accounted for based on the nature of such service and the relevant accounting literature. Such fees include acquisition fees associated with the purchase of interests in real estate entities; asset management fees paid to our Advisor and property management fees paid to its affiliates, which may manage certain of the properties we acquire, or to other unaffiliated third-party property managers, principally for the management of our hospitality properties. These fees are expensed or capitalized to the basis of acquired assets, as appropriate.

Our Advisor’s affiliates may also perform fee-based construction management services for both our development and redevelopment activities and tenant construction projects. These fees will be considered incremental to the construction effort and will be capitalized to the associated real estate project as incurred. Costs incurred for tenant construction will be depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the term of the related lease. Costs related to development and redevelopment activities will be depreciated over the estimated useful life of the associated project.

Leasing activity at certain of our properties has also been outsourced to our Advisor’s affiliates. Any corresponding leasing fees we pay are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease.

Expense reimbursements made to both our Advisor and its affiliates are expensed or capitalized to the basis of acquired assets, as appropriate.

Income Taxes

We elected to qualify and be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2009. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our net taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. To maintain our REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If we fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following our failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

24

We engage in certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), including when we acquire a hotel we usually establish a TRS which then enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, we are subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no material uncertain income tax positions. Additionally, even if we continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed income, if any.

Results of Operations

We currently have one operating segment. As of December 31, 2021 we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 14 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,804 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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, 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.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2021 vs. December 31, 2020

Consolidated

Our consolidated revenues, property operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are attributable to our consolidated hospitality properties, all of which were owned by us during the entire periods presented.

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 (late 2020 and continuing throughout 2021); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels. Overall, our consolidated hospitality portfolio experienced increases in (i) the percentage of rooms occupied from 45.6% to 64.6% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, (ii) revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) from $44.49 to $69.59 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and (iii) the average daily rate (“ADR”) from $97.61 to $107.69 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Revenues

Revenues increased by $17.1 million to $48.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $30.9 million for the same period in 2020. This increase reflects the higher occupancy, RevPAR and ADR during the 2021 period.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses increased by $6.7 million to $32.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $25.8 million for the same period in 2020. This increase reflects the higher occupancy during the 2021 period.

Real estate taxes

Real estate taxes decreased by $0.4 million to $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2020.

25

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased slightly by $0.1 million to $4.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2020.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.3 million to $10.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $10.7 million for the same period in 2020. 

Interest expense

Interest expense was $6.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2020. 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 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 therefore, we recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $3.4 million. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities

Our income from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities was $44 during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a loss of $2.1 million for the same period in 2020. Our earnings from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities is attributable to our ownership interests in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture, 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.

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 have successfully negotiated various changes to the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, including forbearance of scheduled debt service, reductions in interest rates, waiver periods and modifications of financial covenants and an extension option. See “Contractual Mortgage Obligations” for additional information.

As of December 31, 2021, we had $15.1 million of cash on hand, restricted cash of $1.8 million and marketable securities of $6.8 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 will be sufficient to satisfy our expected cash requirements primarily consisting of our anticipated operating expenses, scheduled debt service (excluding the Revolving Credit Facility which we intend to seek to extend to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s option), 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.

26

As of December 31, 2021, we have mortgage indebtedness totaling $136.5 million, $3.7 million of PPP Loans (classified as notes payable on our consolidated balance sheet) and a margin loan of $2.3 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.

On March 22, 2022, we completed the disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles for $32.3 million. In connection with the disposition, the Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan ($13.4 million) was fully defeased. Our net proceeds from the disposition of the Courtyard – Paso Robles were approximately $18.9 million, after the repayment in full of the Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage, closing costs, expenses and pro rations and other working capital adjustments.

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 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 our overall leverage limit; as such our aggregate borrowings may be less than 300% of net assets. As of December 31, 2021, our total borrowings aggregated $142.5 million which represented 83% 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.

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.

● capital expenditures of $0.5 million;

● $3.3 million of contributions to unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities; and

● $0.8 million of distributions from unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities.

28

Financing activities

The cash provided by financing activities of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 consists primarily of the following:

● proceeds from notes payable of $3.7 million;

● payments of loan fees and expenses of $0.4 million;

● debt principal payments of $0.2 million;

● net margin loan payments of $0.3 million; and

● redemption and cancellation of Common Shares of $0.8 million.

Share Repurchase Program

Our share repurchase program (the “SRP”) may provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their Common Shares back to us, 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 our current NAV per Share, as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by us 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 us 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, we 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 year ended December 31, 2021 we repurchased 98,866 shares of Common Shares, pursuant to the SRP, for $8.02 per share. For the period from January 1 through March 18, 2020, we repurchased 82,413 Common Shares, pursuant to the SRP, for $10.00 per share.

Distributions Declared by our Board of Directors

On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions on our Common Shares. As a result, there were no distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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 December 31, 2021.

Contractual Mortgage Obligations	2022		2023		2024		2025		2026		Thereafter		Total
Principal maturities	$	123,256	$	13,208	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	136,464
Interest payments(1)		4,679		670		-		-		-		-		5,349
Total Contractual Mortgage Obligations\	$	127,935	$	13,878	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	141,813

Note:

(1) These amounts represent future interest payments related to mortgage payable obligations based on the fixed and variable interest rates specified in the associated debt agreement. All variable rate debt agreements are based on the one-month LIBOR rate. For purposes of calculating future interest amounts on variable interest rate debt the one-month LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2021 was used.

Revolving Credit Facility

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.

As of December 31, 2021, 13 of our hotel properties were pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding principal balance was $123.0 million. Additionally, no additional borrowings were available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. Although the Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, we currently intend to seek to extend the Revolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s extension option.

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. The Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan matures in November 2023, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.49% and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $79 through its stated maturity with a balloon payment of $13.0 million due at maturity. The Courtyard – Paso Robles Mortgage Loan had an outstanding balance of $13.4 million as of December 31, 2021. 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 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

30

PPP Loans

In April 2020, we, through various subsidiaries (each such entity, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”) received aggregate funding of $3.3 million through loans (the “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. During the first quarter of 2021, the Borrowers received an additional aggregate funding of $3.7 million of PPP Loans.

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 we intend for each Borrower to apply for forgiveness, no assurance may 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.

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 therefore, we recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $3.4 million on our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the PPP Loans had outstanding balances of $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and are classified as Notes Payable on the consolidated balance sheets.

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.

The amount outstanding under this margin loan was $2.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and is due on demand. The margin loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.85% (0.96% as of December 31, 2021).

LIBOR

The Revolving Credit Facility and Margin Loan are indexed to LIBOR. In late 2021, it was announced LIBOR interest rates will cease publication altogether by June 30, 2023. We have and intend continue to incorporate relatively standardized replacement rate provisions into our LIBOR-indexed debt documents, including a spread adjustment mechanism designed to equate to the current LIBOR “all in” rate. There is significant uncertainty with respect to the implementation of the phase out and what alternative indexes will be adopted which will ultimately be determined by the market as a whole. It therefore remains uncertain how such changes will be implemented and the effects such changes would have on us and the financial markets generally.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliated Entities

We have an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill, LLC (“the Brownmill Joint Venture”), an affiliated entity that owns two retail properties, and an unconsolidated 50.0% membership interest in LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (the “Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture”), an affiliated 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 unconsolidated membership interests in the Brownmill Joint Venture and the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

31

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 has 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.

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.

See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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.

32

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 deferred 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. Certain of the above adjustments are also made to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, such as for the amortization of a premium and accretion of a discount on debt and securities investments, amortization of fees, any unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives, securities or other investments, as well as other adjustments.

MFFO excludes non-recurring impairment of real estate-related investments. We assess the credit quality of our investments and adequacy of reserves on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. We consider the estimated net recoverable value of a loan as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the prospects for the borrower and the competitive situation of the region where the borrower does business.

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 need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flow proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.

34

(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 items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflect 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:

	For the period April, 28, 2008
	(date of inception) through
	December 31, 2021
FFO	$	70,482
Distributions declared	$	85,040

FFO attributable to our Common Shares for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 6.7 million and cash flow used in operations was $0.4 million. There were no distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2021. FFO attributable to our Common Shares for the year ended December 31, 2020 was negative $9.1 million and cash flow used in operations was $5.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we paid distributions of $3.1 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Impairment Evaluation of Investment in Real Estate

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had investment property, net of accumulated depreciation, of approximately $215.2 million. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company evaluates its investments in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances representing triggering events indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable for a particular property. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate at the lowest identifiable level, the individual property level. No single indicator would necessarily result in the Company preparing an estimate to determine if an individual property’s future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company uses judgment to determine if the severity of any single indicator, or the fact there are a number of indicators of less severity that when combined, would result in an indication that a property requires an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment has occurred. Relevant facts and circumstances include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis are subjective and require the Company to use its judgment and the determination of estimated fair value is based on the Company’s plans for the respective assets and the Company’s views of market and economic conditions. The estimates utilize observable and unobservable inputs such as future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the estimated impacts of demand, competition, and recent sales data for comparable properties.

We identified the impairment evaluation as a critical audit matter due to significant judgment by management in identifying indicators of impairment and in the estimated recoverability of a particular property. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and audit effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's significant estimates and assumptions related to future operating income, the holding period, capitalization rates and residual values.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence, in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of controls over the Company’s impairment evaluation process. Our procedures included, among others, assessing the methodologies applied, identifying the existence of any triggering events, comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows to historical operating results by property and evaluating the reasonableness of significant estimates and assumptions including future operating income, the holding period, capitalization rates and residual values and determining if they were reasonable considering the past and current performance of the property and if consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. In addition, we performed sensitivity analysis over significant estimates and assumptions including future operating income and residual values. We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in its evaluation. We held discussions with management about the current status of certain properties to understand how management’s significant estimates and assumptions are developed considering potential future market conditions. In addition, we evaluated the mathematical accuracy of the calculations included in the Company’s evaluation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)

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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 14 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,804 rooms, (ii) held an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill, LLC (“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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, 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.

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its 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, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy 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 (late 2020 and continuing throughout 2021); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels. 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, the Company currently expects it will continue to 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 its hotels. Additionally, the Company has an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which owns two retail properties located in New Jersey that were subject to various restrictions. If the Brownmill Joint Venture’s retail properties are negatively impacted 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 implemented cost reduction strategies for all of its hotels, leading to reductions in certain operating expenses and capital expenditures.

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

● Amendments to Revolving Credit Facility –   On June 2, 2020, the Company’s 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) 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.   See Note 5 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”). During 2021, the Company received notices from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) that all of the PPP Loans from April 2020 along with their accrued interest had been legally forgiven. See Note 6 for additional information.

● On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors suspended regular quarterly distributions and, as a result, no distributions have been declared on the Company’s Common Shares or the Subordinated Profits Interests since the suspension. Additionally, on March 19, 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 7 for additional information.

● The Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture has obtained various amendments to its non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. See Note 3 for additional information.

The Company believes that these actions, along with its available on hand cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, as well as its intention to seek to extend the Revolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s extension option, as discussed in Note 4, 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. 

Noncontrolling Interests –

Partners of the Operating Partnership

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 years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Since the Company’s inception through December 31, 2021, 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 8 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 8 for additional information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which Lightstone REIT II exercises financial and operating control). As of December 31, 2021, Lightstone REIT II had a 99% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate 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.

Investments in other real estate entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not exercise financial and operating control, and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are held in commercial paper and money market funds.

As required by the Company’s lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, debt service payments and other reserves for certain of our consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves.

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash total as presented in our statements of cash flows for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	15,126	$	15,348
Restricted cash		1,833		3,075
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	16,959	$	18,423

Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:

Cash paid for interest	$	8,091	$	3,282
Holding loss on available for sale securities	$	82	$	90

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of equity and debt securities that are designated as available-for-sale. Marketable debt securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company’s marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of these securities are determined based on the specific identification of the securities sold. An impairment charge is recognized when the decline in the fair value of a debt security below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the duration and severity of any decline in fair value below our amortized cost basis, any adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist of amounts derived from hotel operations, including occupied hotel rooms and sales of food, beverage and other ancillary services and are presented on a disaggregated basis below. Revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy tax collected from our guests.

Room revenue is generated through contracts with customers whereby the customers agree to pay a daily rate for right to use a hotel room. The Company’s contract performance obligations are fulfilled at the end of the day that the customer is provided the room and revenue is recognized daily at the contract rate. Payment from the customer is secured at the end of the contract upon check-out by the customer from our hotel. The Company participates in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels whereby the brand owner allows guests to earn loyalty points during their hotel stay. The Company recognizes revenue at the amount earned that it will receive from the brand owner when a guest redeems their loyalty points by staying at one of the Company’s hotels.

Revenue from food, beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized when these goods or services are provided to the customer and the Company’s contract performance obligations have been fulfilled.

Some contracts for rooms, food, beverage or other services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as deferred revenues (or contract liabilities) and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied. The contract liabilities are not significant.

The Company notes no significant judgments regarding the recognition of room, food and beverage or other revenues.

The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
Revenues	2021		2020
Room	$	45,803	$	29,341
Food, beverage and other		2,188		1,562
Total revenues	$	47,991	$	30,903

Accounts Receivable

The Company analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s reported net income or loss is directly affected by management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable.

Investment in Real Estate

Accounting for Asset Acquisitions

When the Company makes an investment in real estate assets, the cost of real estate assets acquired in an asset acquisition are allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, furniture and fixtures and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their relative fair values, at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other relevant market data. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation. The allocations are finalized as soon as all the information necessary is available. Fees incurred related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the investment.

Accounting for Business Combinations

Upon the acquisition of real estate operating properties that meet the definition of a business, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities and certain liabilities such as assumed debt and contingent liabilities, at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other relevant market data. Based on these estimates, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase and allocates the initial purchase price to the applicable assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests, if any. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation. The allocations are finalized as soon as all the information necessary is available and in no case later than within twelve months from the acquisition date. Fees incurred related to the acquisition of real estate operating properties that meet the definition of a business are expensed as incurred within general and administrative costs within the consolidated statements of operations.

Carrying Value of Assets

The amounts capitalized as a result of periodic improvements and additions to real estate property, when applicable, and the periods over which the assets are depreciated or amortized, are determined based on the application of accounting standards that may require estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets. Differences in the amount attributed to the assets can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Impairment Evaluation

The Company evaluates its investments in real estate assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular property. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate assets at the lowest identifiable level, the individual property level. No single indicator would necessarily result in the Company preparing an estimate to determine if an individual property’s future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company uses judgment to determine if the severity of any single indicator, or the fact there are a number of indicators of less severity that when combined, would result in an indication that a property requires an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment has occurred. Relevant facts and circumstances include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis are subjective and require the Company to use its judgment and the determination of estimated fair value are based on the Company’s plans for the respective assets and the Company’s views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and recent sales data for comparable properties. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

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

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the applicable real estate asset. We generally use estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements and five to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Deferred Costs

Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized deferred financing costs are included as a direct deduction from the related debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company evaluates all investments in other entities for consolidation. The Company considers its percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the respective joint venture and our share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as earnings from investments in unconsolidated entities.

The Company reviews investments for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. The ultimate realization of our investment in partially owned entities is dependent on a number of factors including the performance of that entity and market conditions. If the Company determines that a decline in the value of a partially owned entity is other than temporary, it will record an impairment charge.

The Company believes no impairment of its investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities existed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to qualify and be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2009. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on its net income and net cash available for distribution to its stockholders.

The Company engages in certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), including when it acquires a hotel it usually establishes a TRS which then enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and franchise taxes from these activities.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any.

Fair Value of 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, due to related party, and distributions payable approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of our mortgages payable is as follows:

	As of December 31, 2021				As of December 31, 2020
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Mortgages payable	$	136,464	$	136,592	$	136,664	$	136,743

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

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities.

The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting. The Company will record all derivative instruments at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Basic and Diluted Net Earnings per Common Share

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has reviewed and determined that other 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.

Reclassifications

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

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliated Entities

The entities listed below are partially owned by the Company. The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not exercise financial and operating control over these entities. A summary of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities is as follows:

					As of
Entity	Date of Ownership	Ownership %			December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Brownmill	Various		48.6	%	$	6,793	$	4,710
Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture	March 27, 2018		50.0	%		11,165		10,649
Total investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities					$	17,958	$	15,359

Brownmill Joint Venture

During 2010 through 2012, the Company entered into various contribution agreements with Lightstone Holdings LLC (“LGH’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor, pursuant to which LGH contributed to the Company an aggregate 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture in exchange for the Company issuing an aggregate of 48 units of Subordinated Profits Interests, at $100,000 per unit (at an aggregate total value of $4.8 million), to Lightstone SLP II LLC.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company owns a 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which is a non-managing interest. An affiliate of the Company’s Sponsor is the majority owner and manager of the Brownmill Joint Venture. Profit and cash distributions are allocated in accordance with each investor’s ownership percentage. The Company accounts for its investment in the Brownmill Joint Venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made aggregate capital contributions of $2.0 million and received distributions from the Brownmill Joint Venture aggregating $0.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made a capital contribution of $0.3 million and received distributions from the Brownmill Joint Venture aggregating $0.1 million.

The Brownmill Joint Venture owns two retail properties known as Browntown Shopping Center, located in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and Millburn Mall, located in Vauxhaull, New Jersey.

Brownmill Joint Venture Financial Information

The Company’s carrying value of its interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture differs from its share of member’s equity reported in the condensed balance sheet of the Brownmill Joint Venture because the basis of the Company’s investment is in excess of the historical net book value of the Brownmill Joint Venture. The Company’s additional basis, which has been allocated to depreciable assets, is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the appropriate assets.

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.

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 has entered into certain amendments with respect to 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.

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.

Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of its 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Joint Venture through December 31, 2021, it has made an aggregate of $2.8 million of additional capital contributions (of which $1.3 million was made in 2021) and received aggregate distributions of $2.0 million (of which $0.5 million was received in 2021).

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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Company’s marketable securities were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair values of the Company’s preferred equity securities and corporate bonds 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.

Margin Loan

The Company has access to a margin loan from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of the Company’s marketable securities. The margin loan is collateralized by the marketable securities in the Company’s account. The amounts available to the Company under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in its account. The amount outstanding under this margin loan was $2.3 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is due on demand. The margin loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.85% (0.96% as of December 31, 2021).

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. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.15%, subject to a 4.00% floor, and is currently scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, subject to a one-year extension option at the sole discretion of the lender.

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.

As of December 31, 2021, 13 of the Company’s hotel properties were pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding principal balance was $123.0 million. Additionally, no additional borrowings were available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. Although the Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, the Company currently intends to seek to extend the Revolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s extension option.

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 requires monthly principal and interest payments of $79 through its stated maturity 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 10).

Principal Mortgage 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 December 31, 2021:

Pursuant to the Company’s loan agreements, escrows in the amount of $1.8 million and $3.1 million were held in restricted cash accounts as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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.

6. Notes Payable

In April 2020, the Company, through various subsidiaries (each such entity, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), received aggregate funding of $3.3 million through loans (the “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. During the first quarter of 2021, the Borrowers received an additional aggregate funding of $3.7 million of PPP Loans.

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.

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 therefore, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $3.4 million in its consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the PPP Loans had outstanding balances of $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and are classified as Notes Payable on the consolidated balance sheets.

7. Stockholder’s Equity

Preferred Shares

Shares of preferred stock may be issued in the future in one or more series as authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. Prior to the issuance of shares of any series, the Board of Directors is required by the Company’s charter to fix the number of shares to be included in each series and the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each series. Because the Company’s Board of Directors has the power to establish the preferences, powers and rights of each series of preferred stock, it may provide the holders of any series of preferred stock with preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of our Common Shares. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of the Company’s Common Shares. To date, the Company had no outstanding preferred shares.

Common Shares

All of the Common Shares offered by the Company will be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of stock and to the provisions of its charter regarding the restriction on the ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, holders of the Company’s Common Shares will be entitled to receive distributions if authorized by the Board of Directors and to share ratably in the Company’s assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

Each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Shares entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares can elect all of the directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining Common Shares will not be able to elect any directors.

Holders of the Company’s Common Shares have no conversion, sinking fund, redemption or exchange rights, and have no pre-emptive rights to subscribe for any of its securities. Maryland law provides that a stockholder has appraisal rights in connection with some transactions. However, the Company’s charter provides that the holders of its stock do not have appraisal rights unless a majority of the Board of Directors determines that such rights shall apply. Shares of the Company’s Common Shares have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights.

Under its charter, the Company cannot make any material changes to its business form or operations without the approval of stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of our stock entitled to vote on the matter. These include (1) amendment of its charter, (2) its liquidation or dissolution, (3) its reorganization, and (4) its merger, consolidation or the sale or other disposition of its assets. Share exchanges in which the Company is the acquirer, however, do not require stockholder approval.

Distributions on Common Shares

The Company’s Board of Directors commenced declaring and the Company began paying regular quarterly distributions on its Common Shares at the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.65 per share, or an annualized rate of 6.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2015. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly distributions on the Company’s Common Shares to the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.70 per share, or an annualized rate of 7.0% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Additionally, in February 2017 the Board of Directors declared, and in March 2017 the Company paid a special “catch-up” distribution on its Common Shares at an annualized rate of 0.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share for all the quarterly periods beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 and ending with the third quarter of 2015.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)

On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions. As a result, there were no distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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 NAV 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 year ended December 31, 2021 the Company repurchased 98,866 shares of common shares, pursuant to its SRP at a price per share of $8.02 per share. For the period from January 1 through March 18, 2020, the Company repurchased 82,413 common shares at a price of $10.00 per share.

Noncontrolling Interests

Subordinated Profits Interests

In connection with the Company’s Offerings which concluded on September 27, 2014, Lightstone SLP II, LLC acquired 177.0 Subordinated Profits Interests in the Operating Partnership for aggregate consideration of $17.7 million. These Subordinated Profits Interests, for which the aggregate consideration of $17.7 million will only be repaid after stockholders receive a stated preferred return in addition to their net investment, entitle Lightstone SLP II, LLC to a portion of any regular distributions made by the Operating Partnership. There were no distributions paid on the Subordinated Profit Interests through December 31, 2016. However, in connection with the Board of Directors declaration of a special distribution on the Company’s Common Shares on February 28, 2017, they also declared that distributions be brought current through December 31, 2016 on the Subordinated Profits Interests at a 7% annualized rate of return which amounted to $4.2 million and were paid to Lightstone SLP II, LLC on March 15, 2017. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared and the Company paid regular quarterly distributions on the Subordinated Profits Interests at an annualized rate of 7.0% along with the regular quarterly distributions on its Common Shares for all quarterly periods through December 31, 2019.

There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Since the Company’s inception through December 31, 2021, 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 below.

The Subordinated Profits Interests may also entitle Lightstone SLP II, LLC to a portion of any liquidating distributions made by the Operating Partnership. The value of such distributions will depend upon the net sale proceeds upon the liquidation of the Company and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. Liquidating distributions to Lightstone SLP II, LLC will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a distribution equal to their initial investment plus a stated preferred return, as described below:

Liquidating Stage Distributions	Amount of Distribution
7% Stockholder Return Threshold	Once stockholders have received liquidation distributions, and a cumulative non-compounded 7% return per year on their initial net investment, Lightstone SLP, LLC will receive available distributions until it has received an amount equal to its initial purchase price of the Subordinated Profits Interests plus a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% per year.
Returns in Excess of 7%	Once stockholders have received liquidation distributions, and a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% per year on their initial net investment, 70% of the aggregate amount of any additional distributions from the Operating Partnership will be payable to the stockholders, and 30% of such amount will be payable to Lightstone SLP II, LLC, until a 12% return is reached.
Returns in Excess of 12%	After stockholders and Lightstone SLP II, LLC have received liquidation distributions, and a cumulative non-compounded return of 12% per year on their initial net investment, 60% of any remaining distributions from the Operating Partnership will be distributable to stockholders, and 40% of such amount will be payable to Lightstone SLP II, LLC.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE:

None.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of December 31, 2021, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Advisor’s management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2021 that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

● pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and disposition of assets;

● provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, they used the control criteria framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations, or COSO, of the Treadway Commission published in its report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our officers do not receive any cash compensation from us for their services as our officers. We may compensate our officers with restricted shares of our common stock in accordance with our Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan. Our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) will determine if and when any of our officers will receive restricted shares of our common stock.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Executive Officers:

The following table presents certain information as of March 15, 2022 concerning each of our directors and executive officers serving in such capacities:

Name and Address of Beneficial Owner	Number of Shares of Common Stock of Lightstone REIT II Beneficially Owned		Percent of All Common Shares of Lightstone REIT II
David Lichtenstein (1)		20,000		0.1	%
George R. Whittemore		-		-
Yehuda “Judah” L. Angster		-		-
Mitchell Hochberg		-		-
Seth Molod		-		-
Joseph Teichman		-		-
Our directors and executive officers as a group (8 persons)		20,000		0.1	%

(1) Includes 20,000 shares owned by our Advisor. Our Advisor is wholly owned by The Lightstone Group, LLC, which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein. The Lightstone Group, LLC served as our Sponsor during our offerings which terminated on September 27, 2014. The beneficial owner’s business address is 1985 Cedar Bridge Avenue, Lakewood, New Jersey 08701.

Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan

Our Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan:

● furnishes incentives to individuals chosen to receive restricted shares because they are considered capable of improving our operations and increasing profits;

● encourages selected persons to accept or continue employment with our advisor and its affiliates; and

● increases the interest of our employees, officers and directors in our welfare through their participation in the growth in the value of our common shares.

The Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan provides us with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to our directors, officers and full-time employees (in the event we ever have employees), full-time employees of our Advisor and its affiliates, full-time employees of entities that provide services to us, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to us, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to the advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to us. The total number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Employee and Director Incentive Restricted Share Plan is equal to 0.5% of our outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis at any time, not to exceed 255,000 shares.

Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to common shares from us under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time or upon attainment of pre-established performance objectives. Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient’s employment or other relationship with us. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash dividends prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any dividends payable in common shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.

The guidance under Section 409A of the Code provides that there is no deferral of compensation merely because the value of property (received in connection with the performance of services) is not includible in income by reason of the property being substantially nonvested (as defined in Section 83 of the Code). Accordingly, it is intended that the restricted share grants will not be considered “nonqualified deferral compensation.”

We have not yet granted any awards of restricted shares.

42

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Our advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT II LLC (the “Advisor”), which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein. On July 16, 2014, the Advisor contributed $2,000 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 $200,000, 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, 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.

On February 17, 2009, we entered into agreements with our Advisor and its affiliates to pay certain fees, as described below, in exchange for services performed by them and/or other related party entities. As the indirect owner of those entities, Mr. Lichtenstein benefits from fees and other compensation that they receive pursuant to these agreements.

Property Managers

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.

We have agreed to pay our property managers a monthly management fee of up to 5% of the gross revenues from our residential, lodging and retail properties. In addition, for the management and leasing of our office and industrial properties, we will pay, to our property managers, property management and leasing fees of up to 4.5% of gross revenues from our office and industrial properties. We may pay our property managers a separate fee for the one-time initial rent-up or leasing-up of newly constructed office and industrial properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arm’s length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties as determined by a survey of brokers and agents in such area.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our property managers may be entitled to receive higher fees in the event they demonstrate to the satisfaction of a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) that a higher competitive fee is justified for the services rendered. Our property managers will also be paid a monthly fee for any extra services equal to no more than that which would be payable to an unrelated party providing the services. The actual amounts of these fees are dependent upon results of operations and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time.

We did not incur any fees to affiliates of our Advisor for property management services during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Advisor

We pay our Advisor an acquisition fee equal to 0.95% of the gross contractual purchase price (including any mortgage assumed) of each property purchased and will reimburse our Advisor for expenses that it incurs in connection with the purchase of a property. Acquisition fees and expenses are capped at 5% of the gross contractual purchase price of a property. The Advisor is also paid an advisor asset management fee of 0.95% of our average invested assets and we reimburse some expenses of the Advisor. Total fees paid to the Advisor for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2.9 million.

Lightstone SLP II, LLC

In connection with our Offerings which concluded on September 27, 2014, Lightstone SLP II, LLC acquired 177.0 Subordinated Profits Interests in the Operating Partnership for aggregate consideration of $17.7 million. These Subordinated Profits Interests, for which the aggregate consideration of $17.7 million will only be repaid 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.

43

There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. From our inception through December 31, 2021, 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.

The Subordinated Profits Interests may also entitle Lightstone SLP II, LLC to a portion of any liquidating distributions made by the Operating Partnership. The value of such distributions will depend upon the net sale proceeds upon the liquidation of the Company and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. Liquidating distributions to Lightstone SLP II, LLC will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a distribution equal to their initial investment plus a stated preferred return.

Acquisitions and Investments in Entities Affiliated with Sponsor

Brownmill Joint Venture

In connection with our Offerings, which concluded on September 27, 2014, we entered into various contribution agreements with Lightstone Holdings LLC (“LGH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor, pursuant to which LGH contributed to us an approximate aggregate 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill LLC (“the Brownmill Joint Venture”) in exchange for us issuing an aggregate of 48 units of Subordinated Profits Interests, at $100,000 per unit (at an aggregate total value of $4.8 million), to Lightstone SLP II LLC.

As of December 31, 2021, we owned a 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which is a non-managing interest. An affiliate of our Sponsor is the majority owner and manager of the Brownmill Joint Venture. Profit and cash distributions are allocated in accordance with each investor’s ownership percentage. We account for our investment in the Brownmill Joint Venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we made aggregate capital contributions of $2.0 million and received distributions from the Brownmill Joint Venture aggregating $0.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we made a capital contribution of $0.3 million and received distributions from the Brownmill Joint Venture aggregating $0.1 million.

The Brownmill Joint Venture owns two retail properties known as Browntown Shopping Center, located in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and Millburn Mall, located in Vauxhaull, New Jersey.

Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture

On March 27, 2018, we and Lightstone III, a related party real estate investment trust also sponsored by our Sponsor, acquired, through LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (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. 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 has entered into certain amendments with respect to the Hilton Garden Inn Mortgage as discussed below.

44

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) 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.

Subsequent to our acquisition of our 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Joint Venture through December 31, 2021, we have made an aggregate of $2.8 million of additional capital contributions (of which $1.3 million was made in 2021) and received aggregate distributions of $2.0 million (of which $0.5 million was received in 2021).

The Joint Venture

As of December 31, 2021, seven of our consolidated limited service hotels are held in a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) formed between us and Lightstone I, a related party REIT also sponsored by our Sponsor. We and Lightstone I have 97.5% and 2.5% membership interests in the Joint Venture, respectively.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS’ REPORT

To the Stockholders of Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc.:

We have reviewed the Company’s policies and determined that they are in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. Set forth below is a discussion of the basis for that determination.

General

The Company’s primary objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a secondary objective of income without subjecting principal to undue risk. The Company intends to achieve this goal primarily through investments in real estate properties.

The Company has and intends to continue to primarily acquire full-service or select-service hotels, including extended-stay hotels. Even though the Company has and intends to continue primarily to acquire hotels, it has and may continue to purchase other types of real estate.

Assets other than hotels may include, without limitation, office buildings, shopping centers, business and industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, single-tenant properties, multifamily properties, student housing properties, warehouses and distribution facilities and medical office properties. The Company has and expects to invest mainly in direct real estate investments and other equity interests; however, it may also invest in debt interests, which may include bridge or mezzanine loans, including in furtherance of a loan-to-own strategy. We have not established any limits on the percentage of our portfolio that may be comprised of various categories of assets which present differing levels of risk.

The Company expects that its portfolio will provide consistent current income and may also provide capital appreciation resulting from its expectation that in certain circumstances it has or will be able to acquire properties at a discount to replacement cost or otherwise at less than what we perceive as the market value or to reposition or redevelop a property so as to increase its value over the amount of capital we deployed to acquire and rehabilitate the property. The Company has and may continue to acquire properties that it believes would benefit from a change in management strategy, or that have incurred substantial deferred maintenance. The Company has and plans to continue to diversify its portfolio by geographic region, investment size and investment risk with the goal of owning a portfolio of hotels and other income-producing real estate properties and real estate-related assets that provide attractive returns for its investors.

Financing Policies

The Company has and intends to continue to utilize leverage to acquire its properties. The number of different properties the Company 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 the Company, the Company may purchase certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time. There is no limitation on the amount the Company may invest in any single property or on the amount the Company can borrow for the purchase of any property.

The Company has and intends to continue to limit its 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 the independent directors and is disclosed to the Company’s stockholders. The Company may also incur short-term indebtedness, having a maturity of two years or less. By operating on a leveraged basis, the Company may have more funds available for investment in properties. This may allow the Company to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio. Although the Company’s liability for the repayment of indebtedness is expected to be limited to the value of the property securing the liability and the rents or profits derived therefrom, the Company’s use of leveraging increases the risk of default on the mortgage payments and a resulting foreclosure of a particular property. To the extent that the Company does not obtain mortgage loans on the Company’s properties, the Company’s ability to acquire additional properties will be restricted. The Company will endeavor to obtain financing on the most favorable terms available.

47

Policy on Sale or Disposition of Properties

The Company’s Board will determine whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of after considering the relevant factors, including performance or projected performance of the property and market conditions, with a view toward achieving its principal investment objectives.

The Company currently intends to hold its properties until its investment objectives are met or it is likely they will not be met. After seven to ten years, the Company’s Board may decide to liquidate the Company, list its shares on a national stock exchange, sell its properties individually, merge or otherwise consolidate the Company with a publicly-traded REIT, or seek stockholder approval to amend its charter to remove the requirement that the Company must either list its stock on a national securities exchange or seek stockholder approval to adopt a plan of liquidation of the corporation on or before September 27, 2024. Alternatively, the Company may merge with, or otherwise be acquired by, the Sponsor or its affiliates. The Company may, however, sell properties prior to such time and if so, may invest the proceeds from any sale, financing, refinancing or other disposition of its properties into additional properties. Alternatively, the Company may use these proceeds to fund maintenance or repair of existing properties or to increase reserves for such purposes. The Company may choose to reinvest the proceeds from the sale, financing and refinancing of its properties to increase its real estate assets and its net income. Notwithstanding this policy, the Board, in its discretion, may distribute all or part of the proceeds from the sale, financing, refinancing or other disposition of all or any of the Company’s properties to the Company’s stockholders. In determining whether to distribute these proceeds to stockholders, the Board will consider, among other factors, the desirability of properties available for purchase, real estate market conditions, the likelihood of the listing of the Company’s shares on a national securities exchange and compliance with the applicable requirements under federal income tax laws.

When the Company sells a property, it intends to obtain an all-cash sale price. However, the Company may take a purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage on the property as partial payment, and there are no limitations or restrictions on the Company’s ability to take such purchase money obligations. The terms of payment to the Company will be affected by custom in the area in which the property being sold is located and the then prevailing economic conditions. If the Company receives notes and other property instead of cash from sales, these proceeds, other than any interest payable on these proceeds, will not be available for distributions until and to the extent the notes or other property are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed. Therefore, the distribution of the proceeds of a sale to the stockholders may be delayed until that time. In these cases, the Company will receive payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Structure

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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, we (i) majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of 14 limited service hotels containing a total of 1,804 rooms, (ii) held an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in Brownmill, LLC (“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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, 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.

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.

COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its 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, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy 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 (late 2020 and continuing throughout 2021); room demand and rental rates remain below their pre-pandemic historical levels. 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, the Company currently expects it will continue to 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 its hotels. Additionally, the Company has an unconsolidated 48.6% membership interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture, which owns two retail properties located in New Jersey that were subject to various restrictions. If the Brownmill Joint Venture’s retail properties are negatively impacted 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 implemented cost reduction strategies for all of its hotels, leading to reductions in certain operating expenses and capital expenditures.

● Amendments to Revolving Credit Facility –   On June 2, 2020, the Company’s 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) 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.   See Note 5 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”). During 2021, the Company received notices from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) that all of the PPP Loans from April 2020 along with their accrued interest had been legally forgiven. See Note 6 for additional information.

● On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors suspended regular quarterly distributions and, as a result, no distributions have been declared on the Company’s Common Shares or the Subordinated Profits Interests since the suspension. Additionally, on March 19, 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 7 for additional information.

● The Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture has obtained various amendments to its non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Garden Inn – Long Island City. See Note 3 for additional information.

The Company believes that these actions, along with its available on hand cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, as well as its intention to seek to extend the Revolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s extension option, as discussed in Note 4, 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. 

Noncontrolling Interests –

Partners of the Operating Partnership

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 years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Since the Company’s inception through December 31, 2021, 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 8 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 8 for additional information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which Lightstone REIT II exercises financial and operating control). As of December 31, 2021, Lightstone REIT II had a 99% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate 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.

Investments in other real estate entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not exercise financial and operating control, and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are held in commercial paper and money market funds.

As required by the Company’s lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, debt service payments and other reserves for certain of our consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves.

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash total as presented in our statements of cash flows for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	15,126	$	15,348
Restricted cash		1,833		3,075
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	16,959	$	18,423

Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:

Cash paid for interest	$	8,091	$	3,282
Holding loss on available for sale securities	$	82	$	90

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of equity and debt securities that are designated as available-for-sale. Marketable debt securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company’s marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of these securities are determined based on the specific identification of the securities sold. An impairment charge is recognized when the decline in the fair value of a debt security below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the duration and severity of any decline in fair value below our amortized cost basis, any adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist of amounts derived from hotel operations, including occupied hotel rooms and sales of food, beverage and other ancillary services and are presented on a disaggregated basis below. Revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy tax collected from our guests.

Room revenue is generated through contracts with customers whereby the customers agree to pay a daily rate for right to use a hotel room. The Company’s contract performance obligations are fulfilled at the end of the day that the customer is provided the room and revenue is recognized daily at the contract rate. Payment from the customer is secured at the end of the contract upon check-out by the customer from our hotel. The Company participates in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels whereby the brand owner allows guests to earn loyalty points during their hotel stay. The Company recognizes revenue at the amount earned that it will receive from the brand owner when a guest redeems their loyalty points by staying at one of the Company’s hotels.

Revenue from food, beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized when these goods or services are provided to the customer and the Company’s contract performance obligations have been fulfilled.

Some contracts for rooms, food, beverage or other services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as deferred revenues (or contract liabilities) and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied. The contract liabilities are not significant.

The Company notes no significant judgments regarding the recognition of room, food and beverage or other revenues.

The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
Revenues	2021		2020
Room	$	45,803	$	29,341
Food, beverage and other		2,188		1,562
Total revenues	$	47,991	$	30,903

Accounts Receivable

The Company analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s reported net income or loss is directly affected by management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable.

Investment in Real Estate

Accounting for Asset Acquisitions

When the Company makes an investment in real estate assets, the cost of real estate assets acquired in an asset acquisition are allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, furniture and fixtures and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their relative fair values, at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other relevant market data. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation. The allocations are finalized as soon as all the information necessary is available. Fees incurred related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the investment.

Accounting for Business Combinations

Upon the acquisition of real estate operating properties that meet the definition of a business, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities and certain liabilities such as assumed debt and contingent liabilities, at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other relevant market data. Based on these estimates, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase and allocates the initial purchase price to the applicable assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests, if any. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation. The allocations are finalized as soon as all the information necessary is available and in no case later than within twelve months from the acquisition date. Fees incurred related to the acquisition of real estate operating properties that meet the definition of a business are expensed as incurred within general and administrative costs within the consolidated statements of operations.

Carrying Value of Assets

The amounts capitalized as a result of periodic improvements and additions to real estate property, when applicable, and the periods over which the assets are depreciated or amortized, are determined based on the application of accounting standards that may require estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets. Differences in the amount attributed to the assets can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Impairment Evaluation

The Company evaluates its investments in real estate assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular property. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate assets at the lowest identifiable level, the individual property level. No single indicator would necessarily result in the Company preparing an estimate to determine if an individual property’s future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company uses judgment to determine if the severity of any single indicator, or the fact there are a number of indicators of less severity that when combined, would result in an indication that a property requires an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment has occurred. Relevant facts and circumstances include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis are subjective and require the Company to use its judgment and the determination of estimated fair value are based on the Company’s plans for the respective assets and the Company’s views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and recent sales data for comparable properties. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the applicable real estate asset. We generally use estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements and five to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Deferred Costs

Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized deferred financing costs are included as a direct deduction from the related debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company evaluates all investments in other entities for consolidation. The Company considers its percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the respective joint venture and our share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as earnings from investments in unconsolidated entities.

The Company reviews investments for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. The ultimate realization of our investment in partially owned entities is dependent on a number of factors including the performance of that entity and market conditions. If the Company determines that a decline in the value of a partially owned entity is other than temporary, it will record an impairment charge.

The Company believes no impairment of its investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities existed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to qualify and be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2009. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on its net income and net cash available for distribution to its stockholders.

The Company engages in certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), including when it acquires a hotel it usually establishes a TRS which then enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and franchise taxes from these activities.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any.

Fair Value of 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, due to related party, and distributions payable approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of our mortgages payable is as follows:

	As of December 31, 2021				As of December 31, 2020
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Mortgages payable	$	136,464	$	136,592	$	136,664	$	136,743

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

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities.

The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting. The Company will record all derivative instruments at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Basic and Diluted Net Earnings per Common Share

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has reviewed and determined that other 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.

Reclassifications

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

Brownmill Joint Venture Financial Information

The Company’s carrying value of its interest in the Brownmill Joint Venture differs from its share of member’s equity reported in the condensed balance sheet of the Brownmill Joint Venture because the basis of the Company’s investment is in excess of the historical net book value of the Brownmill Joint Venture. The Company’s additional basis, which has been allocated to depreciable assets, is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the appropriate assets.

The following table represents the condensed income statements for the Brownmill Joint Venture for the periods indicated:

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2021			For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

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.

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 has entered into certain amendments with respect to 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.

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.

Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of its 50.0% membership interest in the Hilton Garden Joint Venture through December 31, 2021, it has made an aggregate of $2.8 million of additional capital contributions (of which $1.3 million was made in 2021) and received aggregate distributions of $2.0 million (of which $0.5 million was received in 2021).

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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Company’s marketable securities were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair values of the Company’s preferred equity securities and corporate bonds 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.

Margin Loan

The Company has access to a margin loan from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of the Company’s marketable securities. The margin loan is collateralized by the marketable securities in the Company’s account. The amounts available to the Company under the margin loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in its account. The amount outstanding under this margin loan was $2.3 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is due on demand. The margin loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.85% (0.96% as of December 31, 2021).

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. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.15%, subject to a 4.00% floor, and is currently scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, subject to a one-year extension option at the sole discretion of the lender.

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.

As of December 31, 2021, 13 of the Company’s hotel properties were pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding principal balance was $123.0 million. Additionally, no additional borrowings were available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. Although the Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on September 15, 2022, the Company currently intends to seek to extend the Revolving Credit Facility to September 15, 2023 pursuant to the lender’s extension option.

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 requires monthly principal and interest payments of $79 through its stated maturity 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 10).

Notes Payable

6. Notes Payable

In April 2020, the Company, through various subsidiaries (each such entity, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), received aggregate funding of $3.3 million through loans (the “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. During the first quarter of 2021, the Borrowers received an additional aggregate funding of $3.7 million of PPP Loans.

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.

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 therefore, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $3.4 million in its consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the PPP Loans had outstanding balances of $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and are classified as Notes Payable on the consolidated balance sheets.

Equity [Abstract]

Stockholder’s Equity

7. Stockholder’s Equity

Preferred Shares

Shares of preferred stock may be issued in the future in one or more series as authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. Prior to the issuance of shares of any series, the Board of Directors is required by the Company’s charter to fix the number of shares to be included in each series and the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each series. Because the Company’s Board of Directors has the power to establish the preferences, powers and rights of each series of preferred stock, it may provide the holders of any series of preferred stock with preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of our Common Shares. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of the Company’s Common Shares. To date, the Company had no outstanding preferred shares.

Common Shares

All of the Common Shares offered by the Company will be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of stock and to the provisions of its charter regarding the restriction on the ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, holders of the Company’s Common Shares will be entitled to receive distributions if authorized by the Board of Directors and to share ratably in the Company’s assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

Each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Shares entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares can elect all of the directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining Common Shares will not be able to elect any directors.

Holders of the Company’s Common Shares have no conversion, sinking fund, redemption or exchange rights, and have no pre-emptive rights to subscribe for any of its securities. Maryland law provides that a stockholder has appraisal rights in connection with some transactions. However, the Company’s charter provides that the holders of its stock do not have appraisal rights unless a majority of the Board of Directors determines that such rights shall apply. Shares of the Company’s Common Shares have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights.

Under its charter, the Company cannot make any material changes to its business form or operations without the approval of stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of our stock entitled to vote on the matter. These include (1) amendment of its charter, (2) its liquidation or dissolution, (3) its reorganization, and (4) its merger, consolidation or the sale or other disposition of its assets. Share exchanges in which the Company is the acquirer, however, do not require stockholder approval.

Distributions on Common Shares

The Company’s Board of Directors commenced declaring and the Company began paying regular quarterly distributions on its Common Shares at the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.65 per share, or an annualized rate of 6.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 through the third quarter of 2015. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly distributions on the Company’s Common Shares to the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.70 per share, or an annualized rate of 7.0% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Additionally, in February 2017 the Board of Directors declared, and in March 2017 the Company paid a special “catch-up” distribution on its Common Shares at an annualized rate of 0.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share for all the quarterly periods beginning with the fourth quarter of 2009 and ending with the third quarter of 2015.

On March 19, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly distributions. As a result, there were no distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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 NAV 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 year ended December 31, 2021 the Company repurchased 98,866 shares of common shares, pursuant to its SRP at a price per share of $8.02 per share. For the period from January 1 through March 18, 2020, the Company repurchased 82,413 common shares at a price of $10.00 per share.

Subordinated Profits Interests

In connection with the Company’s Offerings which concluded on September 27, 2014, Lightstone SLP II, LLC acquired 177.0 Subordinated Profits Interests in the Operating Partnership for aggregate consideration of $17.7 million. These Subordinated Profits Interests, for which the aggregate consideration of $17.7 million will only be repaid after stockholders receive a stated preferred return in addition to their net investment, entitle Lightstone SLP II, LLC to a portion of any regular distributions made by the Operating Partnership. There were no distributions paid on the Subordinated Profit Interests through December 31, 2016. However, in connection with the Board of Directors declaration of a special distribution on the Company’s Common Shares on February 28, 2017, they also declared that distributions be brought current through December 31, 2016 on the Subordinated Profits Interests at a 7% annualized rate of return which amounted to $4.2 million and were paid to Lightstone SLP II, LLC on March 15, 2017. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared and the Company paid regular quarterly distributions on the Subordinated Profits Interests at an annualized rate of 7.0% along with the regular quarterly distributions on its Common Shares for all quarterly periods through December 31, 2019.

There were no distributions declared on the Subordinated Profits Interests during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Since the Company’s inception through December 31, 2021, 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 below.

The Subordinated Profits Interests may also entitle Lightstone SLP II, LLC to a portion of any liquidating distributions made by the Operating Partnership. The value of such distributions will depend upon the net sale proceeds upon the liquidation of the Company and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. Liquidating distributions to Lightstone SLP II, LLC will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a distribution equal to their initial investment plus a stated preferred return, as described below:

Liquidating Stage Distributions	Amount of Distribution
7% Stockholder Return Threshold	Once stockholders have received liquidation distributions, and a cumulative non-compounded 7% return per year on their initial net investment, Lightstone SLP, LLC will receive available distributions until it has received an amount equal to its initial purchase price of the Subordinated Profits Interests plus a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% per year.
Returns in Excess of 7%	Once stockholders have received liquidation distributions, and a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% per year on their initial net investment, 70% of the aggregate amount of any additional distributions from the Operating Partnership will be payable to the stockholders, and 30% of such amount will be payable to Lightstone SLP II, LLC, until a 12% return is reached.
Returns in Excess of 12%	After stockholders and Lightstone SLP II, LLC have received liquidation distributions, and a cumulative non-compounded return of 12% per year on their initial net investment, 60% of any remaining distributions from the Operating Partnership will be distributable to stockholders, and 40% of such amount will be payable to Lightstone SLP II, LLC.

Operating Stage Distributions	Amount of Distribution
7% stockholder Return Threshold	Once a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% return on their net investment is realized by stockholders, Lightstone SLP II, LLC is eligible to receive available distributions from the Operating Partnership until it has received an amount equal to a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% per year on the purchase price of the Subordinated Profits Interests. “Net investment” refers to $10 per share, less a pro rata share of any proceeds received from the sale or refinancing of the Company’s assets.
Returns in excess of 7%	Once a cumulative non-compounded return of 7% per year is realized by stockholders on their net investment, 70% of the aggregate amount of any additional distributions from the Operating Partnership will be payable to the stockholders, and 30% of such amount will be payable to Lightstone SLP II, LLC until a 12% return is reached.
Returns in Excess of 12%	After the 12% return threshold is realized by stockholders and Lightstone SLP II, LLC, 60% of any remaining distributions from the Operating Partnership will be distributable to stockholders, and 40% of such amount will be payable to Lightstone SLP II, LLC.

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

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT II and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which Lightstone REIT II exercises financial and operating control). As of December 31, 2021, Lightstone REIT II had a 99% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate 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.

Investments in other real estate entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not exercise financial and operating control, and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are held in commercial paper and money market funds.

As required by the Company’s lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, debt service payments and other reserves for certain of our consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves.

The following is a summary of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash total as presented in our statements of cash flows for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	15,126	$	15,348
Restricted cash		1,833		3,075
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	16,959	$	18,423

Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:

Cash paid for interest	$	8,091	$	3,282
Holding loss on available for sale securities	$	82	$	90

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of equity and debt securities that are designated as available-for-sale. Marketable debt securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company’s marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of these securities are determined based on the specific identification of the securities sold. An impairment charge is recognized when the decline in the fair value of a debt security below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the duration and severity of any decline in fair value below our amortized cost basis, any adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist of amounts derived from hotel operations, including occupied hotel rooms and sales of food, beverage and other ancillary services and are presented on a disaggregated basis below. Revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy tax collected from our guests.

Room revenue is generated through contracts with customers whereby the customers agree to pay a daily rate for right to use a hotel room. The Company’s contract performance obligations are fulfilled at the end of the day that the customer is provided the room and revenue is recognized daily at the contract rate. Payment from the customer is secured at the end of the contract upon check-out by the customer from our hotel. The Company participates in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels whereby the brand owner allows guests to earn loyalty points during their hotel stay. The Company recognizes revenue at the amount earned that it will receive from the brand owner when a guest redeems their loyalty points by staying at one of the Company’s hotels.

Revenue from food, beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized when these goods or services are provided to the customer and the Company’s contract performance obligations have been fulfilled.

Some contracts for rooms, food, beverage or other services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as deferred revenues (or contract liabilities) and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied. The contract liabilities are not significant.

The Company notes no significant judgments regarding the recognition of room, food and beverage or other revenues.

The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
Revenues	2021		2020
Room	$	45,803	$	29,341
Food, beverage and other		2,188		1,562
Total revenues	$	47,991	$	30,903

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

The Company analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s reported net income or loss is directly affected by management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable.

Investment in Real Estate

Investment in Real Estate

Accounting for Asset Acquisitions

When the Company makes an investment in real estate assets, the cost of real estate assets acquired in an asset acquisition are allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, furniture and fixtures and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their relative fair values, at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other relevant market data. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation. The allocations are finalized as soon as all the information necessary is available. Fees incurred related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost of the investment.

Accounting for Business Combinations

Upon the acquisition of real estate operating properties that meet the definition of a business, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities and certain liabilities such as assumed debt and contingent liabilities, at the date of acquisition, based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other relevant market data. Based on these estimates, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase and allocates the initial purchase price to the applicable assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests, if any. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments are made to the purchase price allocation. The allocations are finalized as soon as all the information necessary is available and in no case later than within twelve months from the acquisition date. Fees incurred related to the acquisition of real estate operating properties that meet the definition of a business are expensed as incurred within general and administrative costs within the consolidated statements of operations.

Carrying Value of Assets

The amounts capitalized as a result of periodic improvements and additions to real estate property, when applicable, and the periods over which the assets are depreciated or amortized, are determined based on the application of accounting standards that may require estimates as to fair value and the allocation of various costs to the individual assets. Differences in the amount attributed to the assets can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Impairment Evaluation

The Company evaluates its investments in real estate assets for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular property. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate assets at the lowest identifiable level, the individual property level. No single indicator would necessarily result in the Company preparing an estimate to determine if an individual property’s future undiscounted cash flows are less than its carrying value. The Company uses judgment to determine if the severity of any single indicator, or the fact there are a number of indicators of less severity that when combined, would result in an indication that a property requires an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment has occurred. Relevant facts and circumstances include, among others, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis are subjective and require the Company to use its judgment and the determination of estimated fair value are based on the Company’s plans for the respective assets and the Company’s views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and recent sales data for comparable properties. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of a property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense is computed based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the applicable real estate asset. We generally use estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements and five to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Deferred Costs

Deferred Costs

Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Unamortized deferred financing costs are included as a direct deduction from the related debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company evaluates all investments in other entities for consolidation. The Company considers its percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as an unconsolidated investment under the equity method of accounting.

If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions. The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating agreement of the entity. The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor. Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the respective joint venture and our share of the underlying equity of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable. These items are reported as a single line item in the statements of operations as earnings from investments in unconsolidated entities.

The Company reviews investments for impairment in value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. The ultimate realization of our investment in partially owned entities is dependent on a number of factors including the performance of that entity and market conditions. If the Company determines that a decline in the value of a partially owned entity is other than temporary, it will record an impairment charge.

The Company believes no impairment of its investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities existed as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company elected to qualify and be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2009. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on its net income and net cash available for distribution to its stockholders.

The Company engages in certain activities through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), including when it acquires a hotel it usually establishes a TRS which then enters into an operating lease agreement for the hotel. As such, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and franchise taxes from these activities.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of 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, due to related party, and distributions payable approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of our mortgages payable is as follows:

	As of December 31, 2021				As of December 31, 2020
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Mortgages payable	$	136,464	$	136,592	$	136,664	$	136,743

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

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities.

The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to mitigate interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company may designate these derivative financial instruments as hedges and apply hedge accounting. The Company will record all derivative instruments at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

Concentration of Risk

Concentration of Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Basic and Diluted Net Earnings per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Net Earnings per Common Share

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has reviewed and determined that other 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.

Reclassifications
