LIGHTSTONE VALUE PLUS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Organization

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (together with the Operating Partnership (as defined below), the “Company”) was formed on June 8, 2004 and subsequently qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) during the year ending December 31, 2006. The Company was formed primarily for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial and residential real estate properties located throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, and substantially all of the Company’s current and future business is and will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formed on July 12, 2004 (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is managed by Lightstone Value Plus REIT, LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Lightstone Group (the “Sponsor”), under the terms and conditions of an advisory agreement. The Sponsor and Advisor are owned and controlled by David Lichtenstein, the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors and its Chief Executive Officer.

As of June 30, 2010, on a collective basis, the Company either wholly owned or owned interests in 23 retail properties containing a total of approximately 7.9 million square feet of retail space, 15 industrial properties containing a total of approximately 1.3 million square feet of industrial space, 7 multi-family properties containing a total of 1,805 units, 2 hotel properties containing a total of 290 rooms and 1 office property containing a total of approximately 1.1 million square feet of office space. All of its properties are located within the United States. As of June 30, 2010, the retail properties, the industrial properties, the multi-family properties and the office property were 93%, 61%, 89% and 76% occupied based on a weighted average basis, respectively. Its hotel properties’ average revenue per available room was $27 and occupancy was 70% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

On December 8, 2009, the Company signed a definitive agreement to dispose of a substantial portion of its retail properties; its St. Augustine Outlet center plus its interests in its investments in Prime Outlets Acquisitions Company (“POAC”), which includes 18 retail properties and Mill Run, LLC (“Mill Run”), which includes 2 of its retail properties. On June 28, 2010, the aforementioned definitive agreement was modified to remove St. Augustine from the terms of the agreement. As result, St. Augustine no longer meets the criteria as held for sale (see note 7). Upon closing of the transaction, the Company is expecting to receive $239.5 million in total consideration after transaction expenses, of which approximately $187.3 million will be in the form of cash and the remainder in the form of equity, which may not be available for sale until July 2013. The equity will be interests that are exchangeable for common units of the operating partnership of Simon Property Group.

We expect the transaction to be completed during second half of 2010. At a meeting on May 13, 2010, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) made the decision to distribute proceeds to the shareholders equal to the estimated tax liability, if any, they would accrue from the transaction. Subject to change based on market conditions that may prevail when the transaction closes and the proceeds are received, the Board further determined to direct the reinvestment of the balance of the cash proceeds. In reaching its determination, the board considered that, in the event all proceeds were distributed, the Company would need to substantially reduce or eliminate the distribution to shareholders. The Board concluded that reinvesting a significant portion of the proceeds will allow the Company to take advantage of the current real estate environment and is consistent with our shareholders’ original expectation of being invested in the Company’s common shares for seven to ten years.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, as a result of the Company defaulting on the debt related to two properties due to the properties no longer being economically beneficial to the Company, the lender foreclosed on these two properties. As a result of the foreclosure transactions, the debt associated with these two properties of $42.3 million was extinguished and the obligations were satisfied with the transfer of the properties’ assets and working capital. As of June 30, 2010, the Company no longer owns these two properties. These two properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been classified as discontinued operations on a historical basis. The transactions resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment of $17.2 million which is included in discontinued operations (see note 8). Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these two properties are reclassified as assets and liabilities disposed of on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a 98.4% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

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

Reclassifications

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, which was primarily codified into Topic 810 in the ASC. This standard requires ongoing assessments to determine whether an entity is a variable entity and requires qualitative analysis to determine whether an enterprise’s variable interest(s) give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. In addition, it requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This standard is effective for the fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009.

Debt Compliance for Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliated Real Estate Entities

The debt agreements of the unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities, which the Company has an equity investment in, are subject to various financial and reporting covenants and requirements. Noncompliance with these requirements could constitute an event of default, which could allow the lenders to accelerate the repayment of the loan, or to exercise other remedies. Although all of these real estate entities are current on payment of their respective debt obligations as of June 30, 2010, certain of these entities have instances of noncompliance with other requirements stipulated by their applicable debt agreements. These noncompliance issues do not constitute an event of default until the borrower is notified by the lender. In certain cases, the borrower has an ability to cure the noncompliance within a specified period. To date, these entities have not been notified by the lenders. Should the lender take action to exercise its remedies, it could have an unfavorable impact on these entities’ cash flows and rights as owner of any investment holdings in the underlying property. Management believes that these entities will satisfactorily resolve these matters with the applicable lender for each instance where noncompliance has occurred.

Investment in Affiliate

Park Avenue Funding

On April 16, 2008, the Company made a preferred equity contribution of $11,000,000 (the “Contribution”) to PAF-SUB LLC (“PAF”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park Avenue Funding LLC (“Park Avenue”), in exchange for membership interests of PAF with certain rights and preferences described below (the “Preferred Units”). Park Avenue is a real estate lending company making loans, including first or second mortgages, mezzanine loans and collateral pledges of mortgages, to finance real estate transactions. Property types considered include multi-family, office, industrial, retail, self-storage, parking and land. Both PAF and Park Avenue are affiliates of our Sponsor.

PAF’s limited liability company agreement was amended on April 16, 2008 to create the Preferred Units and admit the Company as a member. The Preferred Units are entitled to a cumulative preferred distribution at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly. In the event that PAF fails to pay such distribution when due, the preferred distribution rate will increase to 17% per annum. The Preferred Units are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company upon at least 180 days’ prior written notice (the “Redemption”). In addition, the Preferred Units are entitled to a liquidation preference senior to any distribution upon dissolution with respect to other equity interests of PAF in an amount equal to (x) the Contribution plus any accrued but unpaid distributions less (y) any Redemption payments.

In connection with the Contribution, the Company and Park Avenue entered into a guarantee agreement on April 16, 2008, whereby Park Avenue unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees payment of the Redemption amounts when due (the “Guarantee”). Also, Park Avenue agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of the Guarantee.

The Company does not have any voting rights for this investment, and does not have significant influence over this investment. The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method. Total accrued distributions related to this investment totaled $47,275 and $65,945 at June 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009, respectively, and are included in interest receivable from related parties in the consolidated balance sheets. Through June 30, 2010, the Company received redemption payments from PAF of $5.3 million, of which $2.0 million was received during the six months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s investment in PAF is $5.7 million and is included in investment in affiliate, at cost in the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Company received an additional redemption payment of $3.0 million.

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.

LIGHTSTONE VALUE PLUS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

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.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 are as follows:

	Fair Value Measurement Using

As a result of such removal, the St. Augustine assets and liabilities no longer meet the criteria for classification as held for sale as of June 30, 2010 since management does not have an active plan to market this outlet center for sale. Therefore, the Company has reclassified the assets and liabilities related to St. Augustine from assets and liabilities held for sale to held and used on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The reclassification resulted in an adjustment of $1.2 million to St. Augustine’s assets balance to the lower of its carrying value net of any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used or the fair value on June 28, 2010, and the $1.2 million adjustment is included in loss on long-lived assets in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2010. St. Augustine’s results of operations for all periods presented have been reclassified from discontinued operations to the Company’s continuing operations.

To date, the Company has not recorded an impairment charge related to the expected sale of its investments in POAC and Mill Run, as the Company’s carrying value of these two investments are lower than the expected proceeds, after consideration of debt to be assumed by buyer.

Assets and Liabilities Disposed of and Discontinued Operations

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company disposed of two properties within its multifamily segment through foreclosure. During 2009, the Company defaulted on the debt obligations related to these two properties due to the properties no longer being economically beneficial to the Company. The lender during the three months ended June 30, 2010 foreclosed on these two properties. As a result of the foreclosure transactions, the debt obligations associated with these two properties of $42.3 million were extinguished and the obligations were satisfied with the transfer of the properties’ assets and working capital.

These two properties during the three months ended June 30, 2010 have been classified as discontinued operations on a historical basis. The transactions resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment of $17.2 million which is included in discontinued operations. The Company during 2009 recorded an asset impairment charge of $26.0 million associated with these properties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, no additional impairment charge has been recorded as the net book values of the assets approximated the current estimated fair market value, on a net aggregate basis.

Assets and Liabilities of Property Held as Collateral on Loan in Default Status

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company decided to not make the required debt service payments of $65,724 in the month of June and thereafter on a loan collateralized by an apartment property located in North Carolina that is within the Company’s multifamily segment. This loan has an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $9.1 million as of June 30, 2010. The Company determined that future debt service payments on this loan would no longer be economically beneficial to the Company based upon the current and expected future performance of the property associated with the loan. In June 2010, the lender notified the Company that the Company is in default on this loan. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding its default status and potential future remedies, which include transferring the property to the lender. As of June 30, 2010, the operating results of this property are included in continuing operations. The Company during 2009 recorded an asset impairment charge of $4.3 million associated with this property. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, no additional impairment charge has been recorded as the net book values of the assets are slightly lower than the current estimated fair market value.

For the mortgage payable related to St. Augustine, Lightstone Holdings, LLC (“Guarantor”), a company wholly owned by the Sponsor, has guaranteed to the extent of a $27.2 million mortgage loan on the St. Augustine, the payment of losses that the lender may sustain as a result of fraud, misappropriation, misuse of loan proceeds or other acts of misconduct by the Company and/or its principals or affiliates. Such losses are recourse to the Guarantor under the guaranty regardless of whether the lender has attempted to procure payment from the Company or any other party. Further, in the event of the Company's voluntary bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency, or the interference by the Company or its affiliates in any foreclosure proceedings or other remedy exercised by the lender, the Guarantor has guaranteed the payment of any unpaid loan amounts. The Company has agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by its Charter, to indemnify Guarantor for any liability that it incurs under this guaranty.

In connection with the acquisition of the Hotels, the Houston Partnership along with ESD #5051 - Houston - Sugar Land, LLC and ESD #5050 - Houston - Katy Freeway, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Houston Borrowers”) secured a mortgage loan from Bank of America, N.A. in the principal amount of $12.85 million which matured on April 16, 2010 and during April 2010 has been amended and extended to mature April 16, 2011. As part of the April 2010 amendment, the Company made a lump sum principal payment of $0.5 million. The amended mortgage loan bears interest on a daily basis expressed as a floating rate equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest allowed by applicable law or (ii) the British Bankers Association Libor Daily Floating Rate plus 450 basis points (4.50%) per annum rate and requires monthly installments of interest plus a principal payment of $43,750. The remaining principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable there under will be due on April 16, 2011. The mortgage loan is secured by the Hotels and 35% of the obligation is guaranteed by the Company. In addition, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to cap the libor rate at 1% until the maturity of the loan.

In December 2008, the Company converted its construction loan to fund and the development of the Brazos Crossing Power Center, in Lake Jackson, Texas Location to a term loan maturing on December 4, 2009 which has been amended and extended to mature December 4, 2011. As part of the amendment to the mortgage, the Company made a lump sum principal payment of $0.7 million in February 2010. The amended mortgage loan bears interest at the greater of 6.75% or libor plus 350 basis points (3.50%) per annum rate and requires monthly installments of interest plus a principal payment of $9,737. The loan is secured by acquired real estate.

On November 16, 2007, in connection with the acquisition of the Camden Properties, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiaries obtained from Fannie Mae five substantially similar fixed rate mortgages aggregating $79.3 million. Of the $79.3 million, only three of the five original loans remain outstanding for an aggregate balance of $37.0 million (the “Loans”) as $42.3 million was extinguished as part of a foreclosure (see note 8 for further discussion). The Loans have a 30 year amortization period, mature in 7 years, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.44% per annum. The Loans require monthly installments of interest only through December 2010 and monthly installments of principal and interest throughout the remainder of their stated terms. The Loans will mature on December 1, 2014. During June 2010, the Company decided to not make its required debt service payment of $65,724 on one of these three remaining loans, which has an outstanding principal balance of $9.1 million as of June 30, 2010. The Company determined that future debt service payments on this loan would no longer be economically beneficial to the Company based upon the current and expected future performance of the property associated with this loan. The Company is in discussions with the lender regarding its default status and potential future remedies, which include transferring the property to the lender. Through June 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded any potential prepayment penalties that it may be assessed by the lender as the Company believes that the payment of this potential liability is remote.

Certain of our debt agreements require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage. We have historically been and currently are in compliance with all of our debt covenants or have obtained waivers from our lenders, with the exception of the debt service coverage ratio on the debt associated with the Hotels which the Company did not meet for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company once notified by the lender of noncompliance has five days to cure by making a principal payment to bring the debt service coverage ratio to at least the minimum. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not been notified by the bank as per the loan agreement; however if the bank does notify the Company and does not provide a waiver, then the Company will be required to pay approximately $1.6 million as a lump sum payment to avoid default. We expect to remain in compliance with all our other existing debt covenants; however, should circumstances arise that would cause us to be in default, the various lenders would have the ability to accelerate the maturity on our outstanding debt.

Distributions and Share Redemption Plan

Distributions

The Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend for each quarter in since 2006 through the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The distributions have been calculated based on stockholders of record each day during this three-month period at a rate of $0.0019178 per day, which, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.0% annualized rate based on a share price of $10.00.

LIGHTSTONE VALUE PLUS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

On July 28, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a distribution for the three-month period ending June 30, 2010. The distribution will be calculated based on shareholders of record each day during this three-month period at a rate of $0.00109589 per day, and will equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 4.0% annualized rate based on a share price of $10.00. The distribution was paid in cash on August 6, 2010 to shareholders of record during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010.

At this time, our Board of Directors has decided to temporarily lower the distribution rate until the closing of the disposition of our investment in POAC and Mill Run (the “Disposition”) (see Note 1 for further discussion). Additionally, the Board has decided to meet as soon as a closing date for the Disposition is set (the “Closing Date”) with the intention of declaring an additional distribution equal to 4% annualized rate, payable around the closing Date. This will bring the distribution for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to a grand total of an 8% annualized rate, which is an increase over the prior quarterly distributions of an annualized rate of 7%.

In addition, on July 28, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company temporarily suspended the distribution reinvestment program pending final approval of the registration statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The amount of distributions paid to our stockholders in the future will be determined by our Board of Directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

Share Redemption Plans

Effective March 2, 2010, the Board voted to temporarily suspend future share redemptions under the Share Redemption Plan. The Board will revisit this decision, when the Disposition closes and anticipates that after that time it will resume redeeming shares during the second half of 2010.

12.

Net Income/(Loss) per Share

Net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has 27,000 options issued and outstanding. The 27,000 options are not included in the dilutive calculation as they are anti dilutive as a result of the net loss from continuing operations attributable to Company’s common shares. As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share allocable to common stockholders for each period presented are equal due to the net operating loss from continuing operations for all periods presented.

13.

Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interests of the Company hold shares in the Operating Partnership. These shares include SLP units, limited partner units, Series A Preferred Units and Common Units.

Distributions

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid distributions to noncontrolling interests of $1.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, no distributions were declared and not paid to noncontrolling interests.

Note Receivable due from Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with the contribution of the Mill Run and POAC membership interests, the Company made loans to Arbor Mill Run JRM, LLC (“Arbor JRM”), Arbor National, LLC CJ (“Arbor CJ”), AR Prime Holding, LLC (“AR Prime”), Central Jersey, LLC (“TRAC”), Central Jersey Holdings II, LLC (“Central Jersey”), and JT Prime, LLC (“JT Prime”) (collectively, “Noncontrolling Interest Borrowers”) in the aggregate principal amount of $88.5 million (the “Noncontrolling Interest Loans”). These loans are payable semi-annually and accrue interest at an annual rate of 4%. The loans mature through September 2017 and contain customary events of default and default remedies. The loans require the Noncontrolling Interest Borrowers to prepay their respective loans in full upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Units by the Operating Partnership. The loans are secured by the Series A Preferred Units and Common Units issued in connection with the respective contribution of the Mill Run and the POAC membership interests, as such these loans are classified as a reduction to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accrued interest related to these loans totaled $1.9 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and are included in interest receivable from related parties in the consolidated balance sheets.

Lightstone SLP, LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor, has purchased SLP units in the Operating Partnership. These SLP units, the purchase price of which will be repaid only after stockholders receive a stated preferred return and their net investment, will entitle Lightstone SLP, LLC to a portion of any regular distributions made by the Operating Partnership. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, distributions of $0.5 million were declared and distributions of $1.0 million were paid related to the SLP units and are part of noncontrolling interests. Since inception through June 30, 2010, cumulative distributions declared were $4.9 million, of which $4.9 million have been paid. Such distributions, paid current at a 7% annualized rate of return to Lightstone SLP, LLC through March 31, 2010 and will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Operating Partnership did not declare a distribution related to the SLP units as the distribution to the stockholders was less than 7% for this period.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the mortgage payable as of June 30, 2010 was approximately $202.6 million compared to the book value of approximately $200.4 million. The fair value of the mortgage payable as of December 31, 2009 was approximately $235.3 million, which includes $42.3 million related debt classified as liabilities disposed of compared to the book value of approximately $244.5 million, including $42.3 related to debt classified as liabilities disposed of. The fair value of the mortgage payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market interest rate.

LIGHTSTONE VALUE PLUS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

On March 29, 2006, Jonathan Gould, a former member of our Board of Directors and Senior Vice-President-Acquisitions, filed a lawsuit against us in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit alleges, among other things, that Mr. Gould was insufficiently compensated for his services to us as director and officer. Mr. Gould sought damages of (i) up to $11,500,000 or (ii) a 2.5% ownership interest in all properties that we acquire and an option to acquire up to 5% of the membership interests of Lightstone SLP, LLC. We filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. After review of the motion to dismiss, counsel for Mr. Gould represented that Mr. Gould was dropping his claim for ownership interest in the properties we acquire and his claim for membership interests. Mr. Gould’s counsel represented that he would be suing only under theories of quantum merit and unjust enrichment seeking the value of work he performed. Counsel for the Company made motion to dismiss Mr. Gould’s complaint, which was granted by Judge Sweeney. Mr. Gould has filed an appeal of the decision dismissing his case, which is pending. Management believes that this suit is frivolous and entirely without merit and intends to defend against these charges vigorously. The Company believes any unfavorable outcome on this matter will not have a material effect on the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On January 4, 2007, 1407 Broadway Real Estate LLC ("Office Owner"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of 1407 Broadway Mezz II LLC ("Mezz II"), consummated the acquisition of a sub-leasehold interest (the "Sublease Interest") in an office building located at 1407 Broadway, New York, New York (the "Office Property"). Mezz II is a joint venture between LVP 1407 Broadway LLC ("LVP LLC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, and Lightstone 1407 Manager LLC ("Manager"), which is wholly owned by David Lichtenstein, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, and Shifra Lichtenstein, his wife.

The Sublease Interest was acquired pursuant to a Sale and Purchase of Leasehold Agreement with Gettinger Associates, L.P. ("Gettinger"). In July 2006, Abraham Kamber Company, as Sublessor under the sublease ("Sublessor"), served two notices of default on Gettinger (the "Default Notices"). The first alleged that Gettinger had failed to satisfy its obligations in performing certain renovations and the second asserted numerous defaults relating to Gettinger's purported failure to maintain the Office Property in compliance with its contractual obligations.

In response to the Default Notices, Gettinger commenced legal action and obtained an injunction that extends its time to cure any default, prohibits interference with its leasehold interest and prohibits Sublessor from terminating its sublease pending resolution of the litigation. A motion by Sublessor for partial summary judgment, alleging that certain work on the Office Property required its prior approval, was denied by the Supreme Court, New York County. Subsequently, by agreement of the parties, a stay was entered precluding the termination of the Sublease Interest pending a final decision on Sublessor's claim of defaults under the Sublease Interest. In addition, the parties stipulated to the intervention of Office Owner as a party to the proceedings. The parties have been directed to engage in and complete discovery. We consider the litigation to be without merit.

Prior to consummating the acquisition of the Sublease Interest, Office Owner received a letter from Sublessor indicating that Sublessor would consider such acquisition a default under the original sublease, which prohibits assignments of the Sublease Interest when there is an outstanding default there under. On February 16, 2007, Office Owner received a Notice to Cure from Sublessor stating the transfer of the Sublease Interest occurred in violation of the Sublease given Sublessor's position that Office Seller is in default. Office Owner will commence and vigorously pursue litigation in order to challenge the default, receive an injunction and toll the termination period provided for in the Sublease.

On September 4, 2007, Office Owner commenced a new action against Sublessor alleging a number claims, including the claims that Sublessor has breached the sublease and committed intentional torts against Office Owner by (among other things) issuing multiple groundless default notices, with the aim of prematurely terminating the sublease and depriving Office Owner of its valuable interest in the sublease. The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that Office Owner has not defaulted under the sublease, damages for the losses Office Owner has incurred as a result of Sublessor’s wrongful conduct, and an injunction to prevent Sublessor from issuing further default notices without valid grounds or in bad faith. The Company believes any unfavorable outcome on this matter will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings.

Tax Protection Agreement

In connection with the contribution of the Mill Run Interest (see Note 3) and the POAC Interest (See Note 3), the Operating Partnership entered into Tax Protection Agreements with each of Arbor JRM, Arbor CJ, AR Prime, TRAC, Central Jersey and JT Prime (collectively, the “Contributors”). Under these Tax Protection Agreements, the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify each of Arbor JRM, Arbor CJ, TRAC and Central Jersey with respect to the Mill Run Properties, and AR Prime and JT Prime, with respect to the POAC Properties, from June 26, 2008 for Arbor JRM, Arbor CJ and AR Prime and from August 25, 2009 for TRAC, Central Jersey and JT Prime to June 26, 2013 for, among other things, certain income tax liability that would result from the income or gain which Arbor JRM, Arbor CJ, TRAC, Central Jersey on the one hand, or AR Prime, JT Prime, on the other hand, would recognize upon the Operating Partnership’s failure to maintain the current level of debt encumbering the Mill Run Properties or the POAC Properties, respectively, or the sale or other disposition by the Operating Partnership of the Mill Run Properties, the Mill Run Interest, the POAC Properties, or the POAC Interest (each, an “Indemnifiable Event”). Under the terms of the Tax Protection Agreements, the Operating Partnership is indemnifying the Contributors for certain income tax liabilities based on income or gain which the Contributors are deemed to be required to include in their gross income for federal or state income tax purposes (assuming the Contributors are subject to tax at the highest regional, federal, state and local tax rates imposed on individuals residing in New York City) as a result of an Indemnifiable Event. This indemnity covers income taxes, interest and penalties and is required to be made on a "grossed up" basis that effectively results in the Contributors receiving the indemnity payment on a net, after-tax basis. The amount of the potential tax indemnity to the Contributors under the Tax Protection Agreements, including a gross-up for taxes on any such payment, using current tax rates, is estimated to be approximately $95.7 million. The Company has not recorded a liability in its consolidated balance sheets as the Company believes that the potential liability is remote as of June 30, 2010.

Each Tax Protection Agreement imposes certain restrictions upon the Operating Partnership relating to transactions involving the Mill Run Properties and the POAC Properties which could result in taxable income or gain to the Contributors. The Operating Partnership may not dispose or transfer any Mill Run Property or any POAC Property without first proving that the Operating Partnership possesses the requisite liquidity, including the proceeds from any such transaction, to make any payments that would come due pursuant to the Tax Protection Agreement. However, the Operating Partnership may take the following actions: (i) (A) as to the POAC Properties, commencing with the period one year and thirty-one days following the date of the Tax Protection Agreement, the Operating Partnership can sell on an annual basis part or all of any of the POAC Properties with an aggregate value of ten percent (10%) or less of the total value of the POAC Properties as of the date of contribution (and any amounts of the ten percent (10%) value not sold can be applied to sales in future years); and (B) as to the Mill Run Properties either the same ten percent (10%) test as set forth above in (i)(A) with respect to the Mill Run Properties or the sale of the property known by Design Outlet Center; and (ii) the Operating Partnership can enter into a non-recognition transaction with either the consent of the Contributors or an opinion from an independent law or accounting firm stating that it is “more likely than not” that the transaction will not give rise to current taxable income or gain.

Investment Company Act of 1940

The Investment Company Act of 1940 places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Company intends to conduct its operations so that it will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, based upon changes in the valuation of the Company’s portfolio of investments as of September 30, 2009, including with respect to certain investment securities the Company currently holds, the Company may be deemed to have become an inadvertent investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is currently evaluating its response to this development, including the availability of exemptive or other relief under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Company intends to take affirmative steps to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

If the Company fails to maintain an exemption or exclusion from registration as an investment company, the Company could, among other things, be required either (a) to substantially change the manner in which the Company conducts its operations to avoid being required to register as an investment company, or (b) to register as an investment company, either of which could have an adverse effect on the Company and the market price of its common stock. If the Company were required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Company would become subject to substantial regulation with respect to its capital structure (including its ability to use leverage), management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940), portfolio composition, including restrictions with respect to diversification and industry concentration and other matters. In addition, if the SEC or a court takes the view that the Company has operated and continues to operate as an unregistered investment company in violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and does not provide the Company with a sufficient period to either register as an investment company, obtain exemptive relief, or divest itself of investment securities and/or acquire non-investment securities, the Company may be subject to significant potential penalties and certain of the contracts to which it is a party may be voidable.

The Company intends to continue to monitor its compliance with the exemptions under the Investment Company Act of 1940 on an ongoing basis.

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

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

Overview

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) has acquired and operates commercial, residential and hospitality properties, principally in the United States. Principally through the Lightstone Value Plus REIT, LP, (the “Operating Partnership”), our acquisitions have included both portfolios and individual properties. Our commercial holdings consist of retail (primarily multi-tenant shopping centers), lodging (primarily extended stay hotels), industrial and office properties and that our residential properties are principally comprised of ‘‘Class B’’ multi-family complexes.

We do not have employees. We entered into an advisory agreement dated April 22, 2005 with Lightstone Value Plus REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which we refer to as the “Advisor,” pursuant to which the Advisor supervises and manages our day-to-day operations and selects our real estate and real estate related investments, subject to oversight by our board of directors. We pay the Advisor fees for services related to the investment and management of our assets, and we reimburse the Advisor for certain expenses incurred on our behalf.

Current Environment

The slowdown in the economy coupled with continued job losses and/or lack of job growth leads us to be cautious regarding the expected performance of 2010 for our commercial as well as multifamily residential properties. In addition, the effect of the current economic downturn is having an impact on many retailers nationwide, including tenants of our commercial properties. There have been many national retail chains that have filed for bankruptcy. In addition to those who have filed, or may file, bankruptcy, many retailers have announced store closings and a slowdown in their expansion plans. For multifamily residential properties, in general, evictions have increased and requests for rent reductions and abatements are becoming more frequent.

U.S. and global credit and equity markets have recently undergone significant disruption, making it difficult for many businesses to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result of this disruption, in general there has been an increase in the costs associated with the borrowings and refinancing as well as limited availability of funds for refinancing. If these conditions continue or worsen, our cost of borrowing may increase and it may be more difficult to refinance debt obligations as they come due in the ordinary course. Our best course of action may be to work with existing lenders to renegotiate an interim extension until the credit markets improve. See Note 10 of notes to consolidated financial statements for discussion of maturity dates of our debt obligations.

As a result of the current environment and the direct impact it continues to have on certain properties, during the three months ended June 30, 2010, two of our properties within our multifamily segment were transferred back to the lender a part of foreclosure proceedings. The foreclosure sale for one of the properties was completed on April 13, 2010 and the other one was completed on May 18, 2010. The transactions resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment of $17.2 million which is included in discontinued operations. In addition, during the three months ended, June 30, 2010, we determined that future debt service payments on an additional loan, with a principal balance due of $9.1 million, in our multifamily portfolio would no longer be economically beneficial to us based upon the current and expected future performance of the property associated with this loan. See Notes 9 and 10 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements

Our operating results are impacted by the health of the North American economies. Our business and financial performance, including collection of our accounts receivable, recoverability of assets including investments, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as a reduction in the availability of credit, financial markets volatility, and recession.

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

Results of Operations

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

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 vs. June 30, 2009

Consolidated

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $0.6 million to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in our hospitality segment of $0.2 million primarily due to overall lower demand and higher longer term stays which earn a lower rate per room. Our multifamily segment also experienced an approximate $0.2 million decline in revenue as a result of an increase in rent concessions and less resident charges due to general economic environment.

Property operating expenses

Property operating expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Real estate taxes

Real estate taxes were relatively flat at $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 of $0.9 million.

Loss on long-lived assets

Loss on long-lived assets during the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily includes the loss recorded of $1.2 million related to St. Augustine which was transferred from held for sale to held and used during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The adjustment recorded of $1.2 million was to bring St. Augustine’s assets balance to the lower of their carrying value net of any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used or the fair value on June 28, 2010. See Note 7 of notes to consolidated financial statements. During the same period in the prior year, the Company did not incur any similar losses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative costs were relatively consistent at $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 of $2.3 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.8 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.2 million during the same period in 2009 primarily due to a change in depreciation expense associated with St. Augustine. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, St. Augustine was classified as held for sale and on June 28, 2010, this property was reclassified to held and used (see note 7 of notes to consolidated financial statements). The assets related to St. Augustine were not depreciated during this period when St. Augustine was classified as held for sale. The depreciation expense recorded for St. Augustine during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.5 million. In addition, a reduction in the depreciable asset base as a result of the impairment charges recorded during 2009 in our multifamily and retail segments contributed to the decline.

Other income, net

Interest income was relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Interest Income

Interest income was consistent at approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Interest expense

Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, was consistent at $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Gain/(loss) on sale of marketable securities

Gain/(loss) on sale of marketable securities had a net increase of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to timing of sales of securities and the difference in adjusted cost basis compared to proceeds received on sale.

Loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities

This account represents our portion of the net income/loss of our three investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities, 1407 Broadway, Mill Run and POAC. Our loss from investment in unconsolidated real estate entities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.0 million compared to $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The majority of the change was due to $1.3 million more depreciation expense recorded during the period in 2010 compared to 2009 associated with the difference in our cost of these investments in excess of their historical net book values primarily related to timing of acquisitions. We owned 25% of POAC and 22.54% of Mill Run during the three months ended June 30, 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we owned 40% of POAC and 36.8% of Mill Run. In addition, we were allocated additional share of losses from our POAC and 1407 Broadway investment of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Offsetting this additional charge is a higher amount of income of $1.0 million allocated to us from our Mill Run compared to 2009 primarily due to timing of acquisitions as well as increased revenue at Mill Run.

Noncontrolling interests

The loss allocated to Noncontrolling interests relates to the interest in the Operating Partnership held by our Sponsor as well as common units held by our limited partners.

Segment Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009

The decline in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to an expected vacancy from a larger tenant at one of the properties. This decline is expected to be temporary.

NOI improved slightly, despite the decline in revenue, driven by lower bad debt expense of approximately $0.1 million and lower management fees based upon lower revenues.

Revenue and NOI decreased by $0.2 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The continued impact of the current economic environment is negatively impacting this segment. In order to assist current tenants and to attract new tenants, we have increased rent abatements of $0.1 million and have been less aggressive with additional resident charges resulting in $0.1 million less revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Average Revenue per Available Room for period	$	31.11		$	37.54		$	(6.43	)		-17.1	%

Revenue decreased by $0.2 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decline in revenue is due to lower demand in the quarter related to business travel as well as construction business which drives demand. In addition, the average Rev PAR during three months ended June 30, 2010 was lower due to a higher percentage of rooms occupied under longer term stays which typically earn a lower rate than short term stays compared to a year ago.

Net operating income decreased by $0.1 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of the decrease in revenue, partially offset by approximately $0.1 million decrease in property operating primarily driven by payroll expense reduction.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 vs. June 30, 2009

Consolidated

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $1.3 million to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in our hospitality segment of $0.5 million due to overall expected lower demand and higher long terms stays which earn a lower rate per room, as well as a decline in our multifamily segment of $0.4 million primarily as a result of an increase in rent concessions. In addition, revenue from our industrial segment declined by $0.2 million due to a decline of the average occupancy rate from 66.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 62.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as a result of higher turnover in small business tenants.

Property operating expenses

The adjustment recorded of $1.2 million was to bring St. Augustine’s assets balance to the lower of their carrying value net of any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used or the fair value on June 28, 2010. See Note 7 of notes to consolidated financial statement. During the same period in the prior year, the Company did not incur any similar losses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative costs increased by $1.6 million to $5.3 million due to the following:

an increase of $1.0 million in asset management fees due to higher average asset values at June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009 as a result of our investments in affiliates, Prime Outlet Acquisitions Company and Mill Run LLC, that we acquired during 2009;

an increase of $0.9 million in accounting, legal and consulting services due to additional audit fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to work performed on new investments in affiliates made during 2009 which were not part of the audit process for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

These increases are offset by a decline of $0.3 million in bad debt expense predominately within our retail and multifamily residential properties.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.4 million to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to same period in 2009 primarily due to a change in depreciation expense associated with St. Augustine. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, St. Augustine was classified as held for sale and on June 28, 2010, this property was reclassified to held and used (see note 7 of notes to consolidated financial statements).

Revenue decreased by $0.6 million to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease is largely driven by lower average revenue per available room (“Rev PAR”) coupled with a lower occupancy rate during the period. The average Rev PAR during six months ended June 30, 2010 was lower due to a higher percentage of rooms occupied under longer term stays which typically earn a lower rate than short term stays compared to a year ago. Occupancy was lower due to the lower demand in the overall lodging industry as a result of reduced business and leisure travel. In addition, one of the hotels in our segment had a hot water maintenance problem which impacted the number of stays during the period.

Net operating income decreased by $0.5 million to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of the decrease in revenue.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview:

Rental revenue and borrowing are our principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through working capital and proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and borrowings. We believe that these cash resources will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from other than these sources within the next twelve months.

We currently have $200.4 million of outstanding mortgage debt. We intend 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 the independent directors and is disclosed to our stockholders. We may also incur short-term indebtedness, having a maturity of two years or less.

Our charter provides that the aggregate amount of borrowing, both secured and unsecured, may not exceed 300% of net assets in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level is appropriate, the approval of our board of directors and disclosure to stockholders. Net assets means our total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less our total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied. Any excess in borrowing over such 300% of net assets level must be approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report to stockholders, along with justification for such excess. As of June 30, 2010, our total borrowings represented 106.6% of net assets.

Our borrowings consist of single-property mortgages as well as mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of properties. We typically have obtained level payment financing, meaning that the amount of debt service payable would be substantially the same each year. As such, most of the mortgages on our properties provide for a so-called “balloon” payment and are at a fixed interest rate.

Any future properties that we may acquire may be funded through borrowings and/or expected proceeds from the disposition of certain of our retail assets (see note 1 of notes to consolidated financial statements). 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. These lines of credit will be at prevailing market terms and will be repaid from offering proceeds, proceeds from the sale or refinancing of properties, working capital or permanent financing. Our Sponsor or its affiliates may guarantee the lines of credit although they will not be obligated to do so. We may draw upon the lines of credit to acquire properties pending our receipt of proceeds from our initial public offering. 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.

In addition to meeting working capital needs and distributions to our stockholders, our capital resources are used to make certain payments to our Advisor and our Property Manager, included payments related to asset acquisition fees and asset management fees, the reimbursement of acquisition related expenses to our Advisor and property management fees. We also reimburse our Advisor and its affiliates for actual expenses it incurs for administrative and other services provided to us. Additionally, the Operating Partnership may be required to make distributions to Lightstone SLP, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor.

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to our Advisor, our Dealer Manager, and our Property Manager for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Summary of Cash Flows

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

	For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2010			June 30, 2009
	(unaudited)
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	1,163,040		$	1,728,369
Cash flows used in investing activities		(1,472,098	)		(12,862,609	)
Cash flows used in financing activities		(10,395,396	)		(6,764,499	)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents		(10,704,454	)		(17,898,739	)

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of the period		17,076,320			66,106,067
Cash and cash equivalents, end of the period	$	6,371,866		$	48,207,328

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our principal source of cash flow was derived from the operation of our rental properties as well as loan proceeds and distributions received from affiliates. We intend that our properties will provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to fund operating expenses, debt service and quarterly dividends.

Our principal demands for liquidity are our property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, tenant improvements, leasing costs, acquisition and development activities, debt service and distributions to our stockholders. The principal sources of funding for our operations are operating cash flows, the sale of properties, and the issuance of equity and debt securities and the placement of mortgage loans.

Operating activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash flows provided by operating activities was $1.2 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 resulting in a total change of $0.5 million. The change is primarily driven by an increase in net loss, adjusted for non cash related items, of $2.8 million and $2.0 million lower cash inflow impact related to an increase in tenant receivables and prepaid and other assets due to timing of collection and payments, offset by a $3.0 million lower cash out flows related to an increase in payables due to timing of payments.

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $1.5 million resulted primarily from capital additions of $1.0 million and additional funding of restricted escrows of $2.8 million primarily due to timing of funding and payments of real estate taxes and insurance premiums (including the escrow cash given back to the lender in connection with the foreclosure of the two properties in our multifamily segment. See note 8 of notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion). These are offset by redemptions payments received related to our investment in affiliate, at cost of $2.0 million and proceeds from sale of marketable securities of $0.4 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $12.9 million relates to the following:

$12.9 million of the transaction costs paid related to our investment in POAC

$6.0 million related to the funding of investment property purchases, of which $4.0 million relates to funding of tenant allowances. These additional tenant allowances relate to the timing of payments associated with our St. Augustine Outlet Mall expansion.

Offset by proceeds of $5.5 million associated with proceeds from the maturity of a corporate bond of $5.0 million and $0.5 million from the sale of marketable securities, plus $1.2 million in redemption payments received related to our investment in affiliate.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities of $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily related to the payments of distributions to common shareholders and noncontrolling interests of $10.0 million, $1.7 million of payments made for redemption of common shares and $1.8 million in mortgage payment including a lump sum payment of $0.7 million associated with the refinancing of our Brazos Crossing Power Center debt obligation. These are offset by $3.3 million of proceeds from loans from our affiliates, 1407 Broadway and POAC, of which $2.8 million has been converted to a distribution from our investment in POAC (see note 3 of notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion).

Cash used in financing activities of $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily related to (i) the payments of distributions to common shareholders and noncontrolling interests of $7.9 million; (ii) $1.7 million of principal payments on debt primarily associated with the pay down of $1.2 million related to the amendment to the hotels loan; (iii). $1.7 million issuance of note receivable to noncontrolling interest (see note 13 of notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion); and (iv) $2.4 million associated with redemption of common shares during the period. These outflows were offset by proceeds from issuance of special general partnership interest units (“SLP Units”) of $7.0 million.

We anticipate that adequate cash will be available to fund our operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations, and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long-term. We believe our current balance sheet position is financially sound, however due to the current weakness in and unpredictability of the capital and credit markets we can give no assurance that affordable access to capital will exist when our debt maturities occur.

Contractual Obligations

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations outstanding over the next five years and thereafter as of June 30, 2010.

Contractual Obligations	Remainder of 2010		2011		2012		2013		2014		Thereafter		Total
Mortgage Payable 1	$	9,648,232	$	16,559,011	$	2,090,767	$	2,370,084	$	28,809,456	$	140,943,708	$	200,421,258

Total Contractual Obligations	$	15,250,930	$	27,342,151	$	12,281,360	$	12,399,202	$	38,695,708	$	156,107,233	$	262,076,584

The amount due in 2010 of $9.6 million includes the principal balance of $9.1 million associated with the loan within the Camden portfolio that is in default status (see Notes 9 and 10 of notes to consolidated financial statements).

These amounts represent future interest payments related to mortgage payable obligations based on the fixed and variable interest rates specified in the associated debt agreements. 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 June 30, 2010 was used.

Certain of our debt agreements require the maintenance of certain ratios, including debt service coverage. We have historically been and currently are in compliance with all of our debt covenants or have obtained waivers from our lenders, with the exception of the debt service coverage ratio on the debt associated with the hotels which the Company did not meet for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company once notified by the lender of noncompliance has five days to cure by making a principal payment to bring the debt service coverage ratio to at least the minimum. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not been notified by the bank as per the loan agreement; however if the bank does notify the Company and does not provide a waiver, then the Company will be required to pay approximately $1.6 million as a lump sum payment to avoid default. We expect to remain in compliance with all our other existing debt covenants; however, should circumstances arise that would cause us to be in default, the various lenders would have the ability to accelerate the maturity on our outstanding debt. See Note 9 of notes to consolidate financial statement for discussion of the loan within the Camden portfolio which is in default as a result of nonpayment of debt service. The principal balance of this loan of $9.1 million has been accelerated and is due immediately. We have reflected these loans as payments for 2010 based upon the default status.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

In addition to measurements defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), our management also focuses on funds from operations (“FFO”) and modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) to measure our performance. FFO is generally considered to be an appropriate supplemental non-GAAP measure of the performance of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc (“NAREIT”) as net earnings before depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains or losses on dispositions of real estate, (including such non-FFO items reported in discontinued operations). Notwithstanding the widespread reporting of FFO, changes in accounting and reporting rules under GAAP that were adopted after NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-operating items included in FFO. For example, acquisition expenses, acquisition fees and financing fees, which we intend to fund from the proceeds of this offering and which we do not view as an expense of operating a property, are now deducted as expenses in the determination of GAAP net income. As a result, we intend to consider a modified FFO, or MFFO, when assessing our operating performance. We intend to explain all modifications to FFO and to reconcile MFFO to FFO and FFO to GAAP net income when presenting MFFO information.

Our MFFO is FFO excluding straight-line rental revenue, the net amortization of above-market and below market leases, other than temporary impairment of marketable securities, gain/loss on sale of marketable securities, impairment charges on long-lived assets, gain on debt extinguishment and acquisition-related costs expensed. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient.

Accordingly, we believe that FFO is helpful to stockholders and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income. We believe that MFFO is helpful to stockholders and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes charges that management considers more reflective of investing activities or non-operating valuation changes. By providing FFO and MFFO, we present information that reflects how our management analyzes our long-term operating activities. We believe fluctuations in MFFO are indicative of changes in operating activities and provide comparability in evaluating our performance over time and as compared to other real estate companies that may not be affected by impairments or acquisition activities.

Below is a reconciliation of net income/(loss) to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Sources of Distribution

The Board of Directors of the Company declared a distribution for each quarter in since 2006 through March 31, 2010. The distributions have been calculated based on stockholders of record each day during this three-month period at a rate of $0.0019178 per day, which, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.0% annualized rate based on a share price of $10.00.

At this time, our Board of Directors has decided to temporarily lower the distribution rate until the closing of the disposition of our investment in POAC and Mill Run (the “Disposition”) (see Note 1 for further discussions). Additionally, the Board has decided to meet as soon as a closing date for the Disposition is set (the “Closing Date”) with the intention of declaring an additional distribution equal to 4% annualized rate, payable around the closing Date. This will bring the distribution for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to a grand total of an 8% annualized rate, which is an increase over the prior quarterly distributions of an annualized rate of 7%.

The following table provides a summary of the quarterly distributions declared and the source of distribution based upon cash flows provided by operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

The cash flows provided operations include an adjustment to remove the income from investments in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entities as any cash distributions from these investments are recorded through cash flows from investing activities.

Management also evaluates the source of distribution funding based upon MFFO. Based upon MFFO, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 100% of our distributions to our common stockholders were funded or will be funded from MFFO.

Based upon MFFO, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, 100% of our distributions to our common stockholders were funded or will be funded from MFFO. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 85% of our distributions to our common stockholder were funded with funds from MFFO.

New Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.

We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and fund the expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs while taking into account variable interest rate risk. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates or variable rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2010, we had one interest rate cap outstanding with an intrinsic value of zero.

We also hold equity securities for general investment return purposes. We regularly review the market prices of these investments for impairment purposes. As of June 30, 2010, a hypothetical adverse 10% movement in market values would result in a hypothetical loss in fair value of approximately $16,000.

The following table shows the mortgage payable obligations maturing during the next five years and thereafter at June 30, 2010:

	Remainder of 2010 (1)		2011		2012		2013		2014		Thereafter		Total

Mortgage Payable	$	9,648,232	$	16,559,011	$	2,090,767	$	2,370,084	$	28,809,456	$	140,943,708	$	200,421,258

In addition, the amount due in 2010 of $9.6 million includes the principal balance of $9.1 million associated with the loan within the Camden portfolio that are in default status (see Note 8 and 9 of notes to consolidated financial statements).

As of June 30, 2010, approximately $16.0 million, or 8%, of our debt are variable rate instruments and our interest expense associated with these instruments is, therefore, subject to changes in market interest rates. A 1% adverse movement (increase in LIBOR) would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.

In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate and real estate related investments is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary. As of June 30, 2010, the only off-balance sheet arrangements we had outstanding was an interest rate cap with an intrinsic value of zero.

We cannot predict the effect of adverse changes in interest rates on our debt and, therefore, our exposure to market risk, nor can we provide any assurance that long-term debt will be available at advantageous pricing. Consequently, future results may differ materially from the estimated adverse changes discussed above.

ITEM 4 (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION:

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

On March 29, 2006, Jonathan Gould, a former member of our Board of Directors and Senior Vice-President-Acquisitions, filed a lawsuit against us in the District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit alleges, among other things, that Mr. Gould was insufficiently compensated for his services to us as director and officer. Mr. Gould sought damages of (i) up to $11,500,000 or (ii) a 2.5% ownership interest in all properties that we acquire and an option to acquire up to 5% of the membership interests of Lightstone SLP, LLC. We filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. After review of the motion to dismiss, counsel for Mr. Gould represented that Mr. Gould was dropping his claim for ownership interest in the properties we acquire and his claim for membership interests. Mr. Gould’s counsel represented that he would be suing only under theories of quantum merit and unjust enrichment seeking the value of work he performed. Management believes that this suit is frivolous and entirely without merit and intends to defend against these charges vigorously. The Company believes any unfavorable outcome on this matter will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any other material pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and we did repurchase approximately 0.2 million shares.

Effective March 2, 2010, our board of directors voted to temporarily suspend future share redemptions under the Share Redemption Plan. The board of directors will revisit this decision when the previously announced disposition of retail outlet assets transaction closes and anticipates that after that time it will resume redeeming shares during the second half of 2010.
