Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)(Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Lightstone REIT and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and if deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling interest but have significant influence, the Company accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which the Company has made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary.  The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity.  Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses.  A change in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

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, 2016.2019. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited 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 (“GAAP”)GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 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.

GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate and real-estate related investments, marketable securities, notes receivable, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20162019 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

New Accounting PronouncementsCOVID-19 Pandemic

In January 2017,On March 11, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that clarifiesWorld Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic leading many countries, including the definitionUnited States, particularly at the individual state level, to impose various restrictions and other measures, including, but not limited to, mandatory closures, quarantines, limitations on travel, “shelter in place” rules and certain other measures in an effort to reduce its duration and spread. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to evolve and while most states have initiated a phased approach allowing for reductions and/or lifting of restrictions, the situation remains highly unpredictable and dynamic.

As a businessresult of previous restrictions, the Company closed its St. Augustine Outlet Center from March 20, 2020 through May 7, 2020. Primarily because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating performance of the St. Augustine Outlet Center’s tenancy, especially during the closure period, the Company has provided forbearance of certain rent payments to various tenants. Additionally, the Company has seen some deterioration in both the occupancy and assistsrental rates for Gantry Park Landing, which is located on Long Island, New York, as the luxury rental market in the evaluationgreater New York City metropolitan area has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, none of whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or as a business combination. The guidance provides a test to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Under the updated guidance, an acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and associated transaction costs will be capitalized rather than expensed as incurred. Additionally, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest will be measured at their relative fair values. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is not expected tothese items have a material impact onyet materially impacted the Company’s consolidatedresults from operations or its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires amounts that are generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and the pronouncement requires a retrospective transition method of adoption. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which provides guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including those related to debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance, and distributions received from equity method investees.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The guidance must be adopted on a retrospective basis and must be applied to all periods presented, but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable.  This guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.condition.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)(Unaudited)

To-date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on the Company’s three development projects. Furthermore, the Company’s other real estate-related investments (both its preferred investments in related parties and nonrecourse loans made to unaffiliated third-party borrowers) also relate to various development projects which are at different stages in their respective development process. These investments, which are subject to similar restrictions and other measures, have also not yet been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the Company’s business has not yet seen any material impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which it may be affected in future periods remains highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

If the Company’s operating properties, development projects and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted for an extended period because (i) occupancy levels and rental rates further decline, (ii) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (iii) borrowers are unable to pay scheduled debt service on notes receivable, (iv) development activities are delayed and/or (v) various related party entities are unable to pay monthly preferred distributions on the Company’s preferred investments in related parties, the Company’s business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. While the Company has implemented various cost reduction strategies, including the deferral of certain non-critical capital expenditures, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will fully mitigate the potential adverse impact of any lost revenue and income.

COVID-19 Lease Modification Accounting Relief

Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing GAAP, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Company has elected to apply such relief and will avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis. The Lease Modification Q&A had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, however, its future impact to the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions, if any, granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which replaces the Company incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  This guidanceThe Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. This guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that generally requires companies to measure investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The new guidance must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. If this standard had been in effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 it would have resulted in a decrease in net income of approximately $30 and $2.7 million, respectively and if this standard had been in effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 it would have resulted in a decrease and an increase to net income of approximately $2.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

[In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts.  Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard.  This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.  The Company is continuing to evaluate the standard; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, as substantially all revenues consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from the standard.

The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.
