Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the select service hotel doing business as the Hampton Inn – Des Moines, located in Des Moines, Iowa, (the “Hampton Inn – Des Moines” or the “Company”) as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 and the related statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Hampton Inn – Des Moines is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

On February 4, 2015, the Hampton Inn – Des Moines was sold to an unrelated third party. Refer to Note 6 to the financial statements.

HAMPTON INN – DES MOINES

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.  Background and Organization

 

The financial statements, which consist of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines, a 120-room select service hotel constructed in 1987 (the “Hampton Inn – Des Moines” or the “Company”), present the financial position, results from operations and cash flows of the Company.

 

The Hampton Inn – Des Moines is owned and operated by OCI Properties III, LLC (the “Owner”), a Minnesota limited liability company.

 

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

 

Fiscal Year

 

The Company operates on a fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31st. Fiscal years for the financial statements included herein are fifty-two week fiscal periods ending on December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the realizability of accounts receivable, useful lives of real estate for purposes of determining depreciation expense and assessments as to whether there is impairment in the value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Real Estate

 

Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Significant renovations and improvements which improve and/or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:

 

6
 

  

Classification   Years  
       
Hotel and improvements   15 - 39  
Furniture, fixtures and equipment    7  

 

Maintenance, minor repairs and replacements are expensed when incurred.

  

Management evaluates the recoverability of its investments in real estate assets at the lowest identifiable level, the individual property level. The long-lived assets of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal is less than its carrying amount.

 

Cash

 

The Hampton Inn – Des Moines maintains their cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Hampton Inn – Des Moines have not experienced any losses in such accounts.  The Hampton Inn – Des Moines believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.

 

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Hampton Inn – Des Moines’ revenues are primarily derived from room revenue. Room revenue is recognized as room-stays occur. Other revenue (such as telephone, food/beverage and parking) is recognized when services have been provided.  Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a limited liability company that has elected to be taxed as a partnership for Federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, Federal and state taxable income is reportable on the income tax return of the members. As a result of the entity being taxed as a partnership, there is no federal or state income tax provision.

 

As of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions.

Approximately $67,000 and $71,000 in rent expense (which are included in property operation and maintenance in the statements of operations) was paid for the years ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively. In January 2015, the Company acquired the land subject to the ground lease for $500,000 (see Note 6).

The Mortgage Payable has a term of 5 years with a maturity date of October 26, 2017, bears interest at 4.1% and requires monthly principal and interest through its stated maturity with a balloon payment at maturity. The Mortgage Payable is collateralized by the Hampton Inn – Des Moines.

Management Agreement

 

The Hampton Inn – Des Moines is managed by a management company that is a related party, pursuant to a management agreement. The management company performs management functions including, but not limited to, hiring and supervising employees, establishing room prices, establishing administrative policies and procedures, managing expenditures and arranging and supervising public relations and advertising.   The management agreement (originally entered into in September 2005) was for an original term of 5 years, with 2 automatic 5 year renewals; however, the agreement can be cancelled for any reason by the Company after giving sixty day notice after the one year anniversary of the commencement of the agreement.

Franchise agreement

 

On September 29, 2005, the Company entered into a franchise agreement with Hampton Inns Franchise LLC in order to operate under the Hampton Inn & Suites brand name. The franchise agreement provides for the payment of a monthly royalty fee equal to 5.0% of gross room sales, as defined, and a marketing fee of 4.0% of gross room sales. Approximately $333,000 and $311,000 in franchise fees (which are included property operation and maintenance in the statements of operations) were paid in connection with the franchise agreement for the years ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively.

LIGHTSTONE VALUE PLUS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST III, INC. AND SUBSIDIARES

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  

On February 4, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of a 120-room select service hotel located in Des Moines, Iowa (the “Hampton Inn – Des Moines”) from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10.9 million, paid in cash, excluding closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s Advisor received an acquisition fee equal to 1.0% of the contractual purchase price, approximately $0.1 million. The acquisition was funded with approximately $2.7 million of offering proceeds (a portion of the offering proceeds used were received in January 2015) and approximately $8.2 million of proceeds from a $10.0 million Revolving Promissory Note (the “Revolving Promissory Note”) from the operating partnership of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Lightstone II”), a real estate investment trust also sponsored by the Company’s sponsor.

 

The Revolving Promissory Note was entered into on February 4, 2015, has a term of one year, bears interest at a floating rate of three-month Libor plus 6.0% and requires quarterly interest payments through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The Company paid an origination fee of $100,000 to Lightstone II in connection with the Revolving Promissory Note and pledged its ownership interest in the Hampton Inn – Des Moines as collateral for the Revolving Promissory Note.

 

The acquisition of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with the Company treated as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon their preliminary fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Approximately $1.2 million was allocated to land and improvements, $9.2 million was allocated to building and improvements, and $0.5 million was allocated to furniture and fixtures and other assets.

 

The pro forma allocation of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines value is based upon certain preliminary valuations and other analyses that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any changes in the estimated preliminary fair values of the net assets recorded for this transaction prior to the finalization of more detailed analyses will change the allocation of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines value. As such, the pro forma allocations for this transaction are preliminary estimates, which are subject to change within the measurement period.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is based on the Company’s historical consolidated balance as of December 31, 2014 and reflects the acquisition of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines as if it had occurred on December 31, 2014.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 is presented as if the Company’s acquisition of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines had been completed as of January 1, 2014.

 

The Hampton Inn – Des Moines operates on a fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31st. The fiscal year for the financial statements included herein is for a fifty-two week fiscal period ending on December 28, 2014. The impact between fiscal year end December 28, 2014 and December 31, 2014 is not material.

 

The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the financial information and notes thereto of the Hampton Inn – Des Moines included elsewhere herein. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had we completed the above transactions on January 1, 2014, nor does it purport to represent our future operations.  In addition, the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is based upon available information and upon assumptions and estimates, some of which are set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.
