Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment in Hotel Properties

Investment in hotel properties consists primarily of land, buildings, improvements and related fixtures and equipment. Investment in hotel properties is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 39 years for building, 15 years for improvements, 5 and 7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and 5 years for computer equipment. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. When property and/or equipment are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its hotel assets when events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. This evaluation consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the asset with the asset’s expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest costs. Estimates of expected futures cash flows represent

HOLTSVILLE HOTEL GROUP, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

(Dollars in thousands)

management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. If expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset then impairment is indicated. Such impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its discounted cash flow. During 2009 and 2008, there were no events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of the hotel asset may not be recoverable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The Hotel maintains its cash accounts at various major financial institutions within the United States of America. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash deposited with the financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

The mortgage loan agreement requires the Company to fund on a monthly basis reserves for furnishings, fixtures, equipment and general repair maintenance of the Hotel. The Company is also required to fund reserves for insurance premiums and real estate taxes. The reserves are in an account to be held by the lender.

Deferred Financing Fees

The Company’s deferred financing costs relate to fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing to purchase the Hotel. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the applicable borrowing and are included as a component of interest expense. Capitalized deferred financial costs are recorded in Hotel receivables and other assets and totaled $143 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $125 and $97 respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Room revenues are recognized the night of occupancy. Cash received prior to guest arrival is recorded as an advanced deposit from customers and recognized as revenue at the time of occupancy.

Other revenues are also recognized for food, beverage, telephone charges and various ancillary services performed at the time the service is provided.

Fair value of Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting pronouncement which affects how fair value is determined for non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as intangibles and long-lived assets, including the incorporation of market participant assumption in determining the fair value. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

As such, no federal or state income taxes are payable by the Company and none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. In accordance with partnership taxation, each of the members is responsible for reporting its share of taxable income or loss. The Company analyzed its material tax positions and determined that it has not taken any uncertain tax positions.

Mortgage Loan

On September 11, 2005, the Company entered into a $14,250 mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”). The Mortgage Loan is collateralized by the Hotel. The Mortgage Loan matured on August 11, 2010, and does not allow for any prepayment prior to the maturity date. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.482% and requires monthly interest and principal payments on a 27-year amortization schedule. The Mortgage Loan requires the Company to maintain a certain debt service coverage ratio.

The Mortgage Loan requires the Company to make a monthly deposit to a tax and insurance escrow fund (“Tax and Insurance Escrow”) held by Wells Fargo Bank/Lehman Brothers (the “Lender”) for real estate taxes and insurance related to the Hotel. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Tax and Insurance Escrow had a balance of $55 and $30, respectively. These funds are included in the restricted cash in the Balance Sheet.

The Mortgage Loan requires the Company to make a monthly deposit to a furniture, fixture and equipment escrow fund (“FF&E Escrow”) for the replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures, and equipment of the Hotel. The FF&E Escrow is held by the Lender. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the FF&E Escrow had a balance of $659 and $509, respectively. These funds are included in restricted cash in the Balance Sheet.

The Mortgage Loan had a principal balance of $13,176 and $13,448 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Future scheduled debt principal payments at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Management Agreement

The Management Agreement expires on December 31, 2014 and has two successive renewal options to extend the term of the Management Agreement for terms of ten years each. The Management Agreement requires a base management fee equal to 3% of Gross Revenues (as defined) and an incentive management fee equal to 12% of available cash flows (as defined). Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Operator provides the Hotel with various services, including marketing, reservations, construction management, and insurance. Base management fee expense was $135 and $145, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. There was no incentive fee expense was for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company and the Operator terminated the Management Agreement in connection with the sale of the Hotel (see Note 8).

Franchise Agreement

The Hotel is subject to a twenty year franchise agreement with Marriott International, Inc. which expires on May 11, 2024 and has one renewal option to extend the term of the Franchise Agreement for ten years. Under the agreement, royalty fees are equal to 5% of hotel gross room revenues (as defined), and marketing fees are equal to 2 1/2% of hotel gross room revenues (as defined). The franchise fee expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $330 and $360, respectively.

(7)

Commitments and Contingencies

The Hotel is subject to a 99-year ground lease on two land parcels with FB Holtsville Retail LLC (the “Landlord”). The lease expires on July 17, 2101. The current annual rent is one dollar and is a fixed amount for the entire lease period. There are no options to renew.

The nature of the operations of the Hotel exposes the Company to the risk of claims and litigation in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined, management does not expect the ultimate resolution of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operations, or liquidity of the Partnership.

(8)

Subsequent Event

On June 17, 2010, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Chatham Lodging Trust, a third party, for the sale of the Hotel for a purchase price of $21.3 million. On August 3, 2010, the sale was completed for the purchase price of $21.3 million, plus customary pro-rated amounts and closing costs.

The Company has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through October 19, 2010, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 is based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2010 and is presented as if the acquisition of the Houston and Holtsville Hotels occurred on June 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009 are presented as if the completion of the IPO and the acquisitions of the Initial Hotels, the Houston and Holtsville Hotels had occurred on January 1, 2009.

     The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations or financial condition would have been assuming such transactions had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it indicative of the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for future periods. In management’s opinion, all material adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the significant acquisitions described above have been made. In addition, the unaudited 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 financial information, which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma financial information and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and the Initial Hotels included in the Company’s Form S-11 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and six months ended June 30, 2010.
