and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan

LONG BEACH HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note 1 Nature of operations and principles of consolidated financial statements
Long Beach Hotel Properties, LLC (the Company) was incorporated on June 26, 2007 under the laws
of the State of California and shall continue until terminated or by operation of law.
The Company owns two hotels in the port of Long Beach, California, through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Queensbay Hotel, LLC (Queensbay) operating as The Hotel Maya, a Doubletree by
Hilton, and Portside Partners, LLC (Portside) operating as Residence Inn by Marriott. The
Companys managing member is Ensemble Hotel Partners, LLC (EHP). Profit and loss allocations for
the Company are based on the terms of the operating agreement.
The Hotel Maya
The Hotel Maya was purchased for approximately $11,531,300 in March 2005 and has 199 guest rooms
with 194 in operation. As of December 31, 2010, this hotel is operating under a franchise agreement
from Doubletree Franchise, LLC (Note 7). The Hotel Maya operates as a full service hotel with
indoor and outdoor meeting and banquet space. There is also a water parcel with an operating
marina. The primary customers include leisure transient guests, business travelers and group and
wedding attendees.
Residence Inn
The Residence Inn was developed collaboratively by EHP and Ensemble Real Estate Services, LLC, an
affiliate of EHP. The Residence Inn, placed in service in June 2009, has 178 suites and is an
extended stay hotel operated by Residence Inn by Marriott, LLC (Marriott) (Note 6). The Residence
Inn customer base includes primarily business travelers, extended stay guests and some leisure
guests. The Residence Inn is a limited service hotel.
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant, intercompany accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less, at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, cash and
cash equivalents included amounts in non-interest bearing checking accounts and an interest-bearing
money market account.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is primarily comprised of receivables related to hotel guests and is presented
net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company will write-off accounts at the time
collectability is considered doubtful. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, allowance for doubtful
accounts was $3,500 and $0, respectively.

LONG BEACH HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2010 and 2009
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Prepaid expenses and other assets
Prepaid expenses include prepaid insurance, prepaid property taxes and other prepaid expenses. As
of December 31, 2010 and 2009, prepaid expenses totaled $78,000 and $193,500, respectively. Other
assets include inventories totaling $62,500 and $84,300 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and consist of food, beverage and supplies. Inventories are stated at lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents lender impounds related to property tax payments and monthly deposits to
cover costs of replacements, renewals and additions to furniture, fixtures, and equipment and
routine capital expenditures (FF&E Reserve) as required by the management agreement with Marriott
(Note 6).
Notes receivable
Notes receivable includes accrued interest. Interest is recognized as earned.
Capitalization of project development costs
Costs are capitalized during the periods in which activities necessary to ready the project for its
intended use are in progress. The Companys capitalization policy on development projects is guided
by authoritative guidance under GAAP. The cost of land and development include specifically
identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the
development of the project, development costs, construction costs, and other costs incurred during
the development period. The Company considers the project as substantially complete and
operational, upon completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major
construction activity. The capitalization period related to interest and real estate taxes begins
when construction commences, and ends when the asset is substantially complete and ready for its
intended use. The Company capitalized $680,800 in interest during 2009 and did not capitalize
interest during 2010. The costs capitalized in 2009 relate to the construction of The Residence
Inn, which was placed in service in June 2009 and the renovations completed on The Hotel Maya in
July 2009.
Investments in hotels
The investments in hotels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The book value of
property and equipment, acquired through a purchase, are based upon the allocation of the purchase
price at the time of acquisition. All other additions are stated at cost. Property, plant and
equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements |
10 to 39 years | |||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
3 to 7 years |

LONG BEACH HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2010 and 2009
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale, retirement or other
disposal, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and
the net amount less any proceeds is charged or credited to income.
The Company assesses the fair value of acquired real estate assets (including land, buildings, site
improvements, above- and below-market leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other
identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities) in accordance with ASC 805, Business
Combinations, and allocates the fair value or purchase price, as warranted, to the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities. The Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow
projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates that are deemed appropriate, as well
as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors
including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic
conditions.
Impairment
The carrying value of long-lived assets including hotels, capitalized development costs and notes
receivable are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of the individual investments may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is
recognized when estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less
than the carrying amount of the investments. The estimation of future cash flows is inherently
uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions regarding current and future economics
and market conditions and the availability of capital. If, in future periods, there are changes in
the estimates or assumptions incorporated into the impairment review analysis, the changes could
result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Companys long-lived assets. To the extent
that an impairment has occurred, the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets over
its estimated fair value will be charged to income. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, management
believed there was no impairment of the carrying value of its long-lived assets.
Deferred franchise fees
Initial franchise fees are capitalized and amortized over the term of the agreement on a
straight-line basis and are reflected as a component of other expenses. The initial franchise fee
for the Doubletree by Hilton franchise, commencing November 1, 2010, was $37,500. The net carrying
amount of deferred franchise fees was $36,100 and $0 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Deferred franchise fees expense was $1,400 and $0 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Deferred loan costs
Loan costs are deferred and expensed over the term of the loan using the straight-line method which
approximates the effective interest method. During 2010 and 2009, loan cost expense amounted to
$72,600 and $71,900, respectively, and is reflected as a component of interest and loan cost
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

December 31, 2010 and 2009
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Ground leases
On December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with QW Land Holding
Company, LLC (QWL) (Note 11), to assign the Queensbay ground sublease and Portside ground
sublease to Queensbay and Portside, respectively. The prepaid ground leases are expensed on a
straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Advance deposits
The Company defers advances received for group reservations, weddings and other events. The amount
deferred for group reservations, weddings and other events at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was
$266,400 and $76,600, respectively. The Company will recognize revenue when occupancy or the event
occurs, or when an advance deposit is forfeited.
Income taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes.
Taxable income or loss will be allocated in accordance with the operating agreement to the
individual members. In addition, no provision has been made in the financial statements for federal
income taxes since a liability for such taxes is the responsibility of the individual members. The
Company is subject to the applicable state limited liability company fee and the fee is reflected
as state tax fees in the accompanying financial statements. Any penalties or interest incurred in
relation to filing respective tax returns will be paid by the Company.
Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not
to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation
processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more
likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the
largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement with the relevant taxing authority. Management has determined that no such reserves
were required at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes room rental, food and beverage and other revenues upon providing the related
services. Sales and occupancy taxes collected from customers submitted to taxing authorities are
not recorded in revenue.
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. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

LONG BEACH HOTEL PROPERTIES, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2010 and 2009
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash deposited with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company believes it places cash balances with
quality financial institutions, which limits its credit risk.
Diversification risk
The assets of the Company are concentrated in the real estate sector. Accordingly, the Companys
investments may be subject to more rapid change in value than would be the case if the Company were
to maintain a wide diversification among investments or industrial sectors. Furthermore, even
within the real estate sector, the investment portfolio is concentrated in terms of geography and
type of real estate investment. This lack of geographic diversification may also subject the
investments of the Company to more rapid change in value than would be the case if the assets of
the Company were more widely diversified.
Note 3 Notes receivable
Portside entered into a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Reimbursement Agreement with the City of
Long Beach (the City) on July 16, 2008. In connection with soil improvement work performed on
the property subleased by Portside, the City executed an agreement for a refund of Portsides TOT
not to exceed $1,500,000. The agreement commenced October 1, 2009 and accrues interest at 7% per
annum. On October 1, 2009, per the agreement, the City paid an amount equal to 25% of the total
TOT revenue paid to the City by Portside during the previous year. Annually, thereafter, the City
must make principal payments of $150,000 and interest payments on all interest accrued to date, but
not to exceed 25% of the annual TOT revenue paid by Portside to the City. The agreement terminates
on October 1, 2018, at which time the remaining unpaid principal and interest must be paid in full
or the terms of the agreement must be extended until all outstanding principal and interest is paid
to Portside. The note is unsecured and Portside has the right to assign its interest in the
agreement to any person or entity which legally succeeds to the interests of Portside under the
sublease, in accordance with all transfer requirements contained in the sublease. As of December
31, 2010 and 2009, the balance on the note, including interest, was $1,450,200 and $1,451,500,
respectively.
Also included in notes receivable for both 2010 and 2009 is approximately $88,000 in working
capital advances made to Marriott as part of the Companys management agreement (Note 6). The
receivable is non-interest bearing and is due upon termination of the management agreement.

Depreciation expense for 2010 and 2009 was $3,112,100 and $2,039,500, respectively.
Note 5 Rental income
The Company subleased a portion of its land, the space commonly known as Water Parcel IV, a
commercial water area located on Queensbays property to Harbor Light Landing, LLC (Subtenant).
The Subtenant pays rent based on 10% of gross mooring, slip rental revenue and other similar water
parcel operations and 5% of gross charter, group, yacht club membership, corporate and other
similar office operations. The sublease terminates March 31, 2020. For 2010 and 2009, rental
income related to the sublease was $73,900 and $64,100, respectively, and was reflected in Food &
beverage and other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Note 6 Management fees
The Hotel Maya
Joie De Vivre Hospitality, Inc. (JDV) managed The Hotel Maya during 2009 and for the period
January 1, 2010 through October 31, 2010. Under a management agreement with JDV, the Company paid
monthly management fees based upon a percentage of The Hotel Mayas gross revenues and gross room
revenue. Effective October 31, 2010, the management agreement with JDV was terminated. In
connection with the termination of the JDV management agreement, the Company agreed to pay a
termination fee of $172,600. The termination fee was reflected in Other expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2010. The Hotel Maya was self-managed for
the period November 1, 2010 to April 31, 2011, therefore no management fee was incurred during this
period. In May 2011, the Company entered into a management agreement with EHP (Note 12) to manage
The Hotel Mayas operations.

Note 12 Subsequent events
GE Loan
During 2010, the Company was in negotiations with GE to sell its $25,000,000 GE Loan to Canpartners
Realty Holding Company IV, LLC (Canpartners). The Loan Sale Agreement between GE and Canpartners
dated August 23, 2010, as subsequently amended, provided for the purchase of the GE Loan of
$25,000,000 (less $680,500 of holdback unfunded) for $18,225,000. Concurrent with the Loan Sale
Agreement, the Company entered into negotiations with Canpartners to restructure the terms of the
loan upon its purchase of the loan from GE. On January 27, 2011, due to disagreements with
Canpartners relating to the proposed terms of the loan, the Company terminated its ongoing
negotiations with Canpartners and entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Loan Sale Agreement
with Canpartners. This resulted in the assignment of the Loan Sale Agreement to the Company by GE.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company incurred $947,200 of loan modification expenses related to
the Canpartners loan negotiations, inclusive of a $300,000 break-up fee and $13,000 for

management fee will be 3% of total revenues paid monthly in arrears.
CWI Contribution Agreement
In May 2011, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with CWI Long Beach Hotels, LLC
(CWI). In exchange for approximately $19,694,000 in capital contributions, CWI received a 49%
interest in the Company. The original membership interests in the Company were distributed to the
original members who, in turn, formed LBHP-Ensemble Partners, LLC (LEP) and LEP was then admitted
as a 51% member of the Company. CWIs investment was made in the form of preferred equity interest
that carries a cumulative preferred dividend of 9.5% per year and is senior to EHPs equity
interest. CWI has the option to acquire an additional 1% interest in the Company for $402,000 upon
meeting the requirements of a Qualified Real Estate Investor and receiving written confirmation of
such from Residence Mortgage Lender. Additionally, the Company shall pay $84,000 in annual
operating fees to the manager, EHP, payable in equal monthly installments. Proceeds from the CWI
contribution agreement were used to pay off the Portside TOT Loan, Portside Ground Lease Loan,
Queensbay Ground Lease Loan and the related-party loans.
In connection with the CWI capital contribution, during 2011, the Company elected to treat a
corporate subsidiary which engages in hotel operations as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). A TRS
is subject to corporate federal income taxes, and the Company provides for income taxes in
accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance.
In preparing the financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events occurring through
July 15, 2011, the date the financial statements were issued, in accordance with the Companys
procedures related to disclosures of subsequent events.
