Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
Mod Hospitality, Inc. f/k/a PSPP Holdings, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1993. In 1997, the Company changed its Corporate Charter to the State of Nevada. As of June 30, 2009, the Company maintained its Corporate Charter in the State of Nevada.
On September 22, 2008, the Company changed its name to Mod Hospitality, Inc.
On February 12, 2008, East Coast Realty Ventures, LLC (ECRV, LLC) purchased from Airport Road Associates One, LLC ("Airport LLC"), the then controlling shareholder of the issuer, 900,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 25,865,000 shares of Common Stock in a privately negotiated transaction. ECRV, LLC paid $153,750 for the
Preferred and Common Stock.
As of February 12, 2008, ECRV, LLC may be deemed to have sole voting power over 132,873,855 shares of Common Stock (which includes the 107,008,855 votes from the Series A Shares) and dispositive power over 81,553,282 shares of Common Stock (which includes shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series
A Shares). Airport LLC may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over no shares of Common Stock.
As of February 12, 2008, Frederic Richardson may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over no shares of Common Stock and may be deemed to have shared voting power over 132,873,855 shares of Common Stock (which includes the 107,008,855 votes from the Series A Shares held by Airport LLC) and shared dispositive
power over 81,553,282 shares of Common Stock (which includes shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Shares held by Airport LLC).
On March 26, 2008, ECV Holdings, Inc. (“ECV”) is a corporation formed under the laws of Delaware. On April 4, 2008, ECV entered into a stock for membership interest agreement with East Coast Realty Ventures, LLC (“ ECRV ”) which owned all of the issued and outstanding capital (the “ Membership
Interest ”) of ECRV Hanover LeaseCo, LLC (the “ Hanover ”), ECRV Clinton LeaseCo, LLC (the “ Clinton ”), and ECRV FM LeaseCo, LLC (the “ Absecon ”). Hanover, Clinton, and Absecon are limited liability companies organized under the law of the State of Delaware. As a result of the stock for membership interest transaction, ECV acquired 100% of the membership interest in Hanover, Clinton and Absecon by issuing Frederic Richardson 100,000 shares of its common stock.
Effective May 8, 2008, ECV entered into a share exchange agreement with Frederic Richardson, and FLNU, a non-reporting small public company listed on the Pink Sheets Grey Market, whereby, Frederic Richardson transferred to FLNU 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ECV, in exchange for 28,000,000 shares of
common stock of FLNU, which represents 80% of FLNU’s outstanding common stock. As a result of the share exchange transaction, Hanover, Clinton and Absecon became the wholly owned subsidiaries of FLNU.
On October 21, 2008 (“the Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of ECV Holdings, Inc., (“ECV”) a Delaware corporation, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Exchange
Transaction, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ECV from Flora Nutrients, Inc. (“FLNU”). In exchange, the Company issued FLNU 50,000,000 common stock, or approximately 99.912% of the Company’s common stock outstanding.
The Company conducts its business operations through ECRV Hanover LeaseCo, LLC (“Hanover”), ECRV Clinton LeaseCo, LLC (“Clinton”), and ECRV FM LeaseCo, LCC (“Absecon”).

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated interim unaudited financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2009, and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim unaudited financial statement presentation and in accordance with the instructions
to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim period presented have been included.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K as of December 31, 2008.
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of management. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently
applied.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and cash Equivalents
The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest bearing accounts that currently do exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Historically, the Company has not incurred any losses due the accounts that exceed federally insured limits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures their financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company considered the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” specifically as it relates to the entities controlled by the majority shareholder of the Company. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
accompanying financial statements only include the accounts of the Company.
Net Loss per Share Calculation
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net loss per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per shares is computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.
Revenue and Expense Recognition
The Company recognizes income from the management of the properties in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, that is, when the services and products are provided for hotel guests and there is no uncertainty as to cash collections; i.e. upon receipt of cash/check payment or credit card from the hotel guests.
The Company recognizes expenses related to the management of the properties in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, that is, when the expense is incurred.
F-6
Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expenses
The Company incurs sales and marketing expenses in conjunction with the production of promotional materials, and related travel costs. In accordance with the AICPA’s Statement of Position No. 93-7 “Reporting on Advertising Costs”, the Companies expense advertising and marketing costs as incurred or as
the advertising takes place.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," and clarified by FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences
between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Investments
The Company accounts for investments, where the Company holds from 20% up to 50%, in the common stock, or membership interest, of an entity, using the equity method. The investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the earnings or
losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income or loss of the Company in the period of the adjustment. Any dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying value of the investment.
As of June 30, 2009, Dream Apartments TV continued to pursue its planned operations, therefore, current management made the decision to reflect the $58,000 as the fair value of this investment.
Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition
contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entity's deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensuses on EITF Issue No. 06-04, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-04) and EITF Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit
Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-10), which require that a company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with endorsement and collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The Company does not expect that the provisions of this pronouncement to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to FAS 157, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. Moreover, that guidance was dispersed among the many accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements. Differences in that guidance created inconsistencies that added to the complexity in applying GAAP. The changes to current practice
resulting from the application of FAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to have an effect on its financial statements.
F-7
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model of how
a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company expects to comply with the provisions of FIN 48. As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ECV Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Clinton, Hanover and Absecon) expect to file
their first federal and state tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2008. Clinton, Hanover and Absecon are single-member limited liability companies that are disregarded entities for federal tax purposes.
NOTE 2 FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method; i.e. original cost divided by the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is 5 years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounting records, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Statement of Operations for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Additional rent due under the lease is a combination of the principal, interest, reserves, tax, and insurance escrows due under the loan. Any funds remaining in any of the reserves or escrows are the property of Clinton.

Base Rent: Absecon
Rental payments shall be equivalent to a cumulative and compounding annualized return of 10% on the $2,150,000 purchase price plus $150,000, at risk, interest rate reserve required by Prudential ($230,000).
The additional rent payments are equal to the mortgage, principle plus interest and the tax, insurance, and reserves, less the Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (“FF&E”) reserve. The FF&E reserve is paid by Absecon as part of the additional rent payment, but the control of the reserve
belongs to Absecon. The reserve will be used exclusively to pay for the direct FF&E needs of the hotel operation as determined by the Company and Park Place Hospitality Group. Excess funds, over and above the current needs of the Base Rent Escrow Account and the FF&E escrow reserve are deemed “excess” and distributed periodically to the investor and Absecon as follows: 75% to investor as a rent extension payment and 25% to Absecon for services. This distribution sharing
is subject to investor receiving full repayment of all invested funds and any accrued base rent through either refinancing or the excess distributable cash flow.

NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
The Company has approximately $1,770,356 in gross deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2009, resulting from net operating loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the future realization of the related income tax benefits is uncertain. Accordingly,
the net provision for income taxes is zero as of June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $4,436,810 available to offset future taxable income through 2029 subject to the annual limitations imposed by Section 382 under the Internal Revenue Code due to the change in control. In February 2008, there was
a change in control of the Company wherein Section 382 will apply to the net operating loss carryforward starting with the year ended December 31, 2008.
As of June 30, 2009, the difference between the tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate and the tax provision attributable to loss before income taxes is as follows (in percentages):
Statutory federal income tax rate |
-34% |
State taxes - net of federal benefits |
-5% |

NOTE 12 REVERSE MERGER
On October 21, 2008, we underwent a reverse merger with ECV Holdings, Inc. (“ECV”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with ECV and Flora Nutrients, Inc., a Nevada corporation and the sole shareholder of ECV (“FLNU”). The
closing of the transaction took place on October 21, 2008 (the “Share Exchange Transaction”) and resulted in the acquisition of ECV. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ECV by issuing FLNU an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares representing 99.912% of our common stock outstanding. Since FLNU, the sole shareholder of ECV, will own 99.912% of the shares of our outstanding common stock upon the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction,
ECV is the legal acquiree but the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger. Upon the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, ECV (accounting acquirer, legal acquiree) will succeed to the business that we previously carried on, and will become the registrant. As a result, the historical financial statements presented going forward will be those of ECV (accounting acquirer, legal acquiree).
The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including representations, warranties and covenants, as well as provisions describing the consideration for the Acquisition, the process of exchanging the consideration and the effect of the acquisition.
As described above, on October 21, 2008, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of ECV, a Delaware corporation, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement. The closing of the transaction took place on October 21, 2008 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant
to the terms of the Securities Exchange Transaction, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ECV from FLNU. In exchange, we issued FLNU 50,000,000 shares, or approximately 99.912% of our common stock outstanding. Since FLNU will own 99.912% of the shares of our outstanding common stock upon the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, ECV is the legal acquiree but the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger. Upon the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, ECV (accounting acquirer,
legal acquiree) will succeed to the business that we previously carried on, and will become the registrant. As a result, the historical financial statements presented going forward will be those of ECV (accounting acquirer, legal acquiree).
ECV is a corporation formed on March 26, 2008 under the laws of Delaware. On April 4, 2008, ECV entered into a stock for membership interest agreement with East Coast Realty Ventures, LLC (“ECRV”) which owned all of the issued and outstanding capital (the “Membership Interest”) of ECRV Hanover
LeaseCo, LLC (the “Hanover”), ECRV Clinton LeaseCo, LLC (the “Clinton”), and ECRV FM LeaseCo, LCC (the “Absecon”). Hanover, Clinton, and Absecon are limited liability companies organized under the law of the State of Delaware. As a result of the stock for membership interest transaction, ECV acquired 100% of the membership interest in Hanover, Clinton and Absecon by issuing Frederic Richardson 100,000 shares of its common stock.
Effective May 8, 2008, ECV entered into a share exchange agreement with Frederic Richardson, and FLNU, a non-reporting small public company listed on the Pink Sheets Grey Market, whereby, Frederic Richardson transferred to FLNU 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ECV, in exchange for 28,000,000 shares of
common stock of FLNU, which represents 80% of FLNU’s outstanding common stock. As a result of the share exchange transaction, Hanover, Clinton and Absecon became the wholly owned subsidiaries of FLNU.

Legal Proceedings
Beachview Restaurants, LLC as Plaintiff vs. ECRV Clinton Leaseco, LLC as Defendant, in the Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida Case NO. 07 29326 CA 22 which involves a dispute concerning a former lessee which had been evicted for non-payment of rent in 2007, claiming breach of lease and fraudulent inducement.
It is unlikely that there will be an unfavorable outcome in this matter inasmuch as the Plaintiff has yet to state a cause of action regarding any breach of lease or inducement to sign the lease. There are sound defenses. The amount in controversy has been stated as merely in excess of $15,000.
Miami-Dade County, as Plaintiff vs. Clinton as Defendant, in the Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, Case No. 07-32742 CA 22 which involves a dispute over a previously undisclosed water and sewer fee imposed by Miami-Dade County, Florida claiming non-payment of the bill. It is unlikely that there will
be an unfavorable outcome in this matter in that it appears that the suit was filed beyond the applicable statute of limitations. The amount in controversy is claimed to be slightly in excess of $42,000.
Rafael Barrera vs. Clinton Hotel Investors, LLC and East Coast Realty Ventures, LLC, Miami-Dade County Circuit Court Case No. 08-67650 CA 24. Plaintiff, Barrera filed an eight (8) count Complaint; counts II, IV and VI apply exclusively to Clinton Hotel and counts I,III,V,VII, and VIII apply exclusively to East Coast Realty
Ventures, LLC. Count II is for an alleged breach of the employment contract between Plaintiff and Clinton Hotel resulting from an alleged failure to pay four (4) months of base salary beginning on the date of Plaintiff’s termination. Count IV requests an accounting of vacation and bonus payments for the period beginning August 10, 2001 and ending on August 16, 2007. Count IV is for unjust enrichment based on an alleged failure to properly compensate Plaintiff. Clinton Hotel filed a Motion to Dismiss the
Complaint which remains pending and is set for hearing on April 3, 2009. Plaintiff claims damages against Clinton Hotel in the approximate amount of $115,000, all of which is being denied by Clinton Hotel and which Clinton Hotel intends to vigorously defend.
As of June 30, 2009, management of the Company has determined that the amount of $172,000, which represents the approximate amount of the above lawsuits do not warrant an expense to be recorded in accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009.

In 2005, the Company retained the legal services of Weed & Co, LLP. On December 3, 2007, Weed & Co, LLP filed a complaint in Superior Court of the State of California in dispute over payment of legal fees against the Company and other defendants. On March 11, 2008, the other defendants entered
into a settlement agreement where Weed & Co, LLP was to be paid $87,500. Weed & Co., LP has the right to re-file the complaint should the other defendants not satisfy this agreement. On May 5, 2009, the Company issued Mr. Weed 1,750,000 shares of the common stock of the Company in settlement of this lawsuit.
NOTE 14 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $4,436,810.
Management believes that additional capital will be required to fund operations through the year ending December 31, 2009 and beyond, as it attempts to generate increasing revenue. Management intends to raise capital through additional equity offerings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
obtaining financing at the level needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In addition, there is no assurance, assuming the Company is successful in raising additional capital, that the Company will be successful in achieving profitability or positive cash flow.
NOTE 15 ESCROW RESERVE
Escrow reserve has been increased because of timing of tax collection and payments.

The forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Company Overview
We were originally organized in the State of Delaware in February 1993 under the name PLR, Inc. Our business operations are primarily conducted through our three (3) indirect subsidiaries, ECRV Hanover LeaseCo, LLC (“Hanover”), ECRV Clinton LeaseCo, LLC (“Clinton”), and ECRV FM LeaseCo, LLC (“Absecon”),
limited liabilities companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
In November 1997, PLR, Inc. changed its name to Integrated Carbonics Corp. and moved its domicile to the State of Nevada. On July 23, 1999, Integrated Carbonics Corp. changed its name to Urbana.ca, Inc. (“URBA”). On April 11, 2003, URBA changed its name to PSPP Holdings, Inc. On August 11, 2008, PSPP Holdings,
Inc. changed its name to Cynosure Holdings, Inc. by filing a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada. Effective September 22, 2008, PSPP Holdings, Inc. changed its company name to Mod Hospitality, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Mod Hospitality,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”).
On March 26, 2008, ECV Holdings, Inc. (“ECV’) was formed under the laws of Delaware. On April 4, 2008, ECV entered into a stock for membership interest agreement with East Coast Realty Ventures, LLC (“ECRV”) which owned all of the membership interest of Hanover, Clinton, and Absecon. As a result of
the stock for membership interest transaction, ECV acquired 100% of the membership interest in Hanover, Clinton and Absecon by issuing Frederic Richardson, the sole member of ECRV, 100,000 shares of its common stock.
Effective May 8, 2008, ECV entered into a share exchange agreement with Frederic Richardson and FLNU, a non-reporting small public company listed on the Pink Sheets Grey Market, whereby, Frederic Richardson transferred to FLNU 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ECV, in exchange for 28,000,000 shares of common
stock of FLNU, which represents 80% of FLNU’s outstanding common stock. As a result of the share exchange transaction, Hanover, Clinton and Absecon became the wholly-owned subsidiaries of FLNU.
On October 21, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with ECV and FLNU. On the Closing Date of the share exchange transaction, we issued FLNU 50,000,000 common stock, or approximately 99.12% of our common stock outstanding, in exchange
for all of the outstanding common stock of ECV from FLNU.
The past Quarter has shown continued decreasing revenues and as a result a decrease in net income. The hope is that the first quarter of 2010 will show an increase in revenue and NOI but there can be no guarantees that revenue will increase or that the economy in general will improve. As a result there is considerable doubt
in management’s mind as to the viability of this business and as a result the Board of Directors has instructed management to begin exploring new business ventures for the company.
We are committed to finding unique and profitable hotel operations throughout the world. We exploit the changing real estate market with new financing structures and finds quality assets to which we can bring superior cost management and revenue generation skills. We currently own the operation of a boutique hotel in
the Art Deco District of Miami, South Beach, Florida and branded hotel operations in the North East.
Hanover, Clinton and Absecon do not have ownership of the hotel buildings’ financing nor responsibility for capital items, real estate taxes, or building insurance, but they perform management of these items, which give the real estate investors a low-maintenance real estate investment.
2
Under separate management agreements, Hanover, Clinton and Absecon engaged the services of Park Place Hospitality, Inc (“PPHG”) with its base of operations located in Charlotte, North Carolina, to run the operations of the hotels. In September 2008, we terminated PPHG’s management arrangement for the Clinton
Hotel in South Beach, Miami, Florida, and in February 2009, we terminated PPHG’s management agreement for the Holiday Inn Express in Hanover, Maryland. We have retained the management services of Mid-Atlantic Realty Group, an entity controlled by Frederic Richardson, our Chairman and CEO, for both these hotels under the same terms as with PPHG, with formal agreements pending to be executed.
Plan of Operations
In this slower demand environment, we are working aggressively to enhance property-level house profit margins by reviewing room amenities and adjusting room rates. We continue to implement new technology, develop new sales promotions, and improve our properties to increase property-level revenue, rather than simply discounting
room rates.
Our plan of operation includes for the next twelve months fee generation from management agreements on three hotels. The operations will include selling equity participation on future hotel acquisitions. We plan to raise additional capital through a formal registration of equity contributions from its principal shareholder. Currently
there are no planned acquisitions. We do not plan to sell any of its assets or operations at this time.
We believe that despite recent economic downturns the market for hotel lodging is stable in the markets in which we maintain the operations of the hotels. The American Hotel & Lodging Association stated that 2007 was the best year ever for the U.S. lodging industry. Spurred on by the weak U.S. dollar that
has induced foreign travelers to the United States and consumers within the United States to travel within its borders. Additionally, peak construction of new hotels in markets where we maintain properties such as Miami have slowed significantly since the fourth quarter of 2007 which has led to a potential supply and demand imbalance. However, areas such as Baltimore have shown decreases in demand as they are not "trendy" vacation areas and occupancy rates are projected to decline in 2009. However,
average daily room rates have increased and are projected to do so through 2009. Gaming revenues have increased in areas such as Atlantic City and lodging in such places has not been affected by the current economic instability.
There can be no guarantee that there will be success. To that end we have secured the help of the former owners of the company, Clinton Hotel, LLC, and they have committed to help raise money for the company and develop the new insurance business model. Although
in the first quarter we were hopeful that business travel would rebound, we no longer hold these optimistic views and expect 2009 to lose or run out of cash. As a result we cannot be certain that the business will continue to operate without a substantial cash infusion.

Revenue: Net revenue decreased by $276,357 from $3,282,146 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $3,005,789 in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Revenues are comprised of the revenues from rooms, food and beverage, rental, telephone, movies, and suite shop, generated as a result of the
operations of the three hotels. Our revenue decreased because of the global financial crisis that began in December 2008, which affected business and personal travel, and the travel patterns of both domestic and international travel. We reduced our room rates significantly to attract guests.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses, arising from rooms, food and beverage, rent, management and franchise fees, general and administrative, and depreciation, were $2,986,341 in the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, compared to $3,472,477 in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This represents a increase of $486,136. This increase was primarily due to increase in rent.
Other Income (Expenses). Our other income (expenses) consists of interest income, interest expense, gain on sale of assets. We had totaled other expenses of $352,613 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $386,956 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008. This increase is because of interest expenses.
Net Loss: Our net loss was $91,151 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and loss of $819,301 in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase in net loss of $728,150 was primarily the result of the significant decrease in revenues and increase
of expenses.
Capital Liquidity and Resources
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had total assets equal to $5,722,922 and $5,195,374 respectively. As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $831,240.

Comparison of Quarters Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Critical Accounting Policy
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the most significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:
4
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated interim unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2009, and the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim unaudited financial statement presentation and in accordance with the instructions to Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim period presented have been included.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K as of December 31, 2008.
The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representation of management. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied.
Revenue and Expense Recognition: We recognize income from the management of the properties in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, that is, when the services and products are provided for hotel guests and there is no uncertainty
as to cash collections; i.e. upon receipt of cash/check payment or credit card from the hotel guests. We recognize expenses related to the management of the properties in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, that is, when the expense is incurred.
Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expense: We incur sales and marketing expenses in conjunction with the production of promotional materials, and related travel costs. In accordance with the AICPA’s Statement of Position No. 93-7 “Reporting
on Advertising Costs”, companies expense advertising and marketing costs as incurred or as the advertising takes place.
Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," and clarified by FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109." A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax
laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Investment: We account for investments, where we hold from 20% up to 50%, in the common stock, or membership interest, of an entity, using the equity method. The investment is initially
recorded at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted to recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of our net income or loss in the period of the adjustment. Any dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying value of the investment.
As of June 30, 2009, Dream Apartments TV continued to pursue its planned operations, therefore, current management made the decision to reflect the $58,000 as the fair value of this investment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition
contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entity's deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensuses on EITF Issue No. 06-04, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-04) and EITF Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit
Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-10), which require that a company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with endorsement and collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The Company does not expect that the provisions of this pronouncement to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to FAS 157, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. Moreover, that guidance was dispersed among the many accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements. Differences in that guidance created inconsistencies that added to the complexity in applying GAAP. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of FAS 157 relate
to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to have an effect on its financial statements.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model of how a
company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company expects to comply with the provisions of FIN 48. As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ECV Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Clinton, Hanover and Absecon) expect to file their first federal and
state tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2008. Clinton, Hanover and Absecon are single-member limited liability companies that are disregarded entities for federal tax purposes.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Management's report on internal control over financial reporting
Our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting under the supervision of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management evaluated the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and has concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective. There are no material weaknesses that have been identified by management.
An evaluation was performed, under the supervision of, and with the participation of, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-(e) to
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective, as of June 30, 2009, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the system are met and cannot detect all deviations. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of control can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or deviations, if any, within the Company have been detected.

This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this
report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred subsequent to our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
