We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lightstone Member LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows for the period from September 10, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from September 10, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                a.           Basis of Accounting

 
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
  b.            Principles of Consolidation
 
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone Member LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Mount Berry Square Mall LLC, Bradley Square Mall LLC, West Manchester Mall LLC and Shenango Valley Mall LLC. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  c.            Use of Estimates
 
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. They also affect reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of investments in real estate, valuation of receivables and the allocation of purchase price to acquired lease rights and obligations. Actual results could differ from those amounts.
 
  d.           Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flow, the Company considers short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
  e.          Marketing
 
               General marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
 
  f.           Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables
 
 
Base rental revenues from rental retail properties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable terms of the related leases, which are all accounted for as operating leases. “Percentage rent” or rental revenue which is based upon a percentage of the sales recorded by the Company’s tenants, is recognized in the period in which the tenants achieve their specified threshold per their lease agreements. These amounts are included in rental revenue in the accompanying financial statements.
 
 
Rental income is also recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, whereby the amortization of acquired favorable leases and acquired unfavorable leases is recognized as a reduction of or an addition to base rental income, respectively, over the terms of the respective leases. The net amount included as an addition to base rental income for the period ended December 31, 2004, was approximately $259.
 
 
Reimbursements from tenants related to real estate taxes, insurance and other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenue, based on a predetermined formula, in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are cancelled, the tenant surrenders the space, and the Company has no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.
 
 
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant receivables which is estimated to be uncollectible. Management of the Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Balances that are past due over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered doubtful. Allowance of doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2004 was approximately $25.
 
  g.          Deferred Charges
 
 
Deferred leasing commissions, acquired in-place lease value, and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Loan costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related loan using a method that approximates the effective-interest method.

2.            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
  h.          Real Estate and Depreciation
 
 
Real estate is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The building and improvements thereon are depreciated on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Tenant improvements are being depreciated on the straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful life. Equipment is being depreciated on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years.
 
 
Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
 
  i.           Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
 
Management assesses whether there has been impairment in the value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Management believes no impairment in the net carrying values of the investments in real estate has occurred.
 
  j.           Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Interests in Real Estate Entities
 
 
Management allocated the purchase price of properties to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on its fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building, and improvements) is determined by valuing the properties as if vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the “as-if-vacant” fair value of properties using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers.
 
 
Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
  j.           Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Interest in Real Estate Entities
             (Continued)
 
 
In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of acquired properties, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values (included in the acquired lease rights in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet) are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values (presented as acquired lease obligations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet) are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed rate renewal periods in the respective leases.
 
 
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value because such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for these particular acquisitions. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.
 
 
Purchase accounting was applied, on a pro-rata basis, to the assets and liabilities related to the Properties. The results of operations of the Properties since acquisition are included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The purchase price of the Properties, including closing costs, was $84,089. The fair value of the real estate acquired was allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, if any, based in each case on their fair values.

5.            MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE

 
 
On September 23, 2004, the Company with its affiliate, PRC Member LLC and subsidiary (“PRC”), borrowed $105,000 from Wachovia Bank, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 360 basis points (approximately 6% at December 31, 2004). The loan is payable interest only monthly and is secured by the real estate, assignment of leases, rent and security deposits of Martinsburg Mall, LLC (“Martinsburg”), which is owned by PRC, Shenango Valley Mall, LLC (“Shenango”), Berry Square Mall, LLC (“Berry”), West Manchester Mall, LLC (“West Manchester”) and Bradley Mall, LLC (“Bradley”). The loan matures in October 2006, with three one-year options to extend the loan for an extension fee of .125% of the outstanding principal and repayment of a certain amount of principal.
 
  Management allocated the mortgage amount to the Properties as follows:
 
Bradley $ 12,168  
Shenango   13,750  
Mount Berry   25,176  
West Manchester   30,944  
 
 
  $ 82,038  
 
 
 

6.           MEZZANINE NOTE PAYABLE - MEMBER

 
 
On September 23, 2004, the Company borrowed $8,600 from Presidential Realty Corp., a member of the Company. The loan bears interest of 11% per annum, payable monthly. The entire loan payable is due in September 2014. The loan is secured by an assignment of the Company’s ownership interest in its subsidiaries, subject to the first mortgage lien to Wachovia Bank.
 
 
The loan has a prepayment penalty of 3% of principal. As of December 31, 2004, interest expense of $266 was paid.
 

7.            RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 
 
All cash receipts of the Company and PRC are deposited directly into a restricted lockbox account. Receipts are transferred daily to a restricted cash account held by the Company until the debt service is satisfied.

Such amount is included in the amount due to affiliates in the consolidated balance sheet.

7.            RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

 
 
Prime Retail, the Property’s management company, which is an affiliate of certain members, charged $177 for management fees to the Company. Prime Retail also advanced approximately $361 to the Company. These amounts are included in due to affiliates in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
 
On September 24, 2004, the Company and PRC purchased five properties for a total of $110,675 from a third party. The Company and PRC allocated $83,675 and $414 to the purchase price and related cost associated with purchase of the properties by the Company, the purchase price allocated to PRC’s property was based upon a third-party appraisal. The remaining purchase price of $83,675 was allocated ratably to the Company’s Properties based upon Wachovia Bank’s relative allocation of principle balance of a cross-collateralized mortgage note, payable (see Note 5).
 
 
The net amount due to affiliates represents non-interest bearing advances from affiliated entities and is due upon demand.
 
 
On September 24, 2004, a member of the Company advanced $819 to fund the acquisition of the Properties. This amount was paid in full, without interest.
 

8.             RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

 
 
The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail shopping center space under operating leases. The Company recognizes income from its tenant operating leases on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms and, accordingly, rental income in a given period will vary from actual contractual rental amounts due. Rental income recorded in 2004 in excess of amounts contractually due was approximately $54.
 
 
The minimum annual future base rentals due under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2004, are as follows:
 
2005 $ 9,682  
2006   8,091  
2007   7,138  
2008   6,193  
2009   5,019  
Thereafter   15,421  
 
 
       
  $ 51,544  
 
 
 
 
Minimum annual future rentals due do not include amounts which are payable by certain tenants based upon certain reimbursable operating expenses. The tenants include national and regional chains and local retailers, and, consequently, the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.

9.  COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
   
 
Shenango Valley Mall is subject to a ground lease. The initial term of the ground lease expired on December 31, 2004. The Company exercised its first 17 year ground lease agreement option. The Company paid $48 per annum as ground rent through December 31, 2004. As of January 1, 2005, the new ground lease payment is based upon 10% of monthly gross revenues, as defined. The gross revenues, upon which the ground rent is computed, cannot be less than 75% of gross revenues for the year 2004.
 
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   
 
As of December 31, 2004, the fair values of the Company’s mortgage note and mezzanine note payable approximate the carrying values as the terms are similar to those currently available to the Company for debt with similar risk and the same remaining maturities. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, due to affiliates, and accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
 
11. SUSEQUENT EVENT
   
 
On  February  14,  2005, the Company paid $23 representing the Preferred Return due certain members and an additional $640 to its members according to Percentage Interests.
