Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Structure	1. Structure Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Lightstone REIT”), formed on June 8, 2004 The Lightstone REIT is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, and substantially all of the Company’s current and future business is and will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on July 12, 2004 98 The Lightstone REIT and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company” and the use of “we,” “our,” “us” or similar pronouns refers to the Lightstone REIT, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in which such pronoun is used. Through its Operating Partnership, the Company owns, operates and develops commercial, residential, and hospitality properties and makes real estate-related investments, principally in the United States. The Company’s real estate investments are held alone or jointly with other parties. The Company also originates or acquires mortgage loans secured by real estate. Although most of its investments are of these types, the Company may invest in whatever types of real estate or real estate-related investments that it believes is in its best interests. Since its inception, the Company has owned and managed various commercial and residential properties located throughout the United States. The Company currently has one operating segment. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has ownership interests in (i) two consolidated operating properties, (ii) three consolidated development properties (including the Santa Clara Data Center, which is classified as held for sale) and (iii) seven unconsolidated operating properties. With respect to its consolidated operating properties, the Company wholly owns the St. Augustine Outlet Center, a retail property containing approximately 0.3 million square feet of gross leasable area, and has a majority ownership interest of approximately 59.2 2.5 97.5 The Company’s advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT, LLC (the “Advisor”), which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein.

The Company’s Advisor has affiliates which may manage and develop certain of its properties. However, the Company also contracts with other unaffiliated third-party property managers. The Company’s Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its stock for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not intend to list its shares at this time. The Company does not anticipate that there would be any market for its shares of common stock until they are listed for trading. Related Parties The Advisor and its affiliates, and Lightstone SLP, LLC are related parties of the Company. Certain of these entities are entitled to compensation for services related to the investment, management and disposition of the Company’s assets. The compensation is based on the cost of acquired properties/investments and the annual revenue earned from such properties/investments, and other such fees and expense reimbursements as outlined in each of the respective agreements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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, 2020. 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 GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 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, 2020 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. COVID-19 Pandemic The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. As a result of previously imposed restrictions, the Company temporarily closed its St. Augustine Outlet Center from March 20, 2020 through May 7, 2020. Primarily because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the property’s occupancy declined and also during 2020 the Company provided forbearance of certain rent payments to various tenants. Additionally, the Company has seen deterioration in both the occupancy and rental rates for Gantry Park Landing, which is located on Long Island, New York, as the luxury rental market in the greater New York City metropolitan area has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To-date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on the Company’s 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. The overall extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are 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. 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, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 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. Supplemental Cash Flow Information Supplemental cash flow information for the periods indicated is as follows: Summary of supplemental cash flow information For the Six Months Ended 2021 2020 Cash paid for interest $ 4,581 $ 4,310 Distributions declared but not paid $ 3,908 $ 3,912 Investment property acquired but not paid $ 5,588 $ 1,447 Amortization of deferred financing costs included in construction in progress $ 297 $ 806 Holding loss/gain on marketable securities $ 107 $ 1,480 Value of shares issued from distribution reinvestment program $ 161 $ 163

Primarily because of this volatility, the Company incurred unrealized gains of $ 5.1 2.7 14.1 18.6 The Company considers the declines in market value of its investments in marketable debt securities to be temporary in nature. When evaluating its investments in marketable debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the marketable debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its investments in marketable debt securities. As of June 30, 2021, the Company does not consider any of its investments in marketable debt securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company may sell certain of its investments in marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic purposes, in anticipation of credit deterioration, or for duration management. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value: ● Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. ● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated are as follows: Schedule of Marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis Fair Value Measurement Using As of June 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Marketable Securities: Equity Securities, primarily REITs $ 14,843 $ - $ - $ 14,843 Marco OP and OP II Units - 27,302 - 27,302 Corporate Bonds - 18,112 - 18,112 Total $ 14,843 $ 45,414 $ - $ 60,257 Fair Value Measurement Using As of December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Marketable Securities: Equity Securities, primarily REITs $ 10,865 $ - $ - $ 10,865 Marco OP and OP II Units - 17,844 - 17,844 Corporate Bonds - 17,362 - 17,362 Total $ 10,865 $ 35,206 $ - $ 46,071 The fair values of the Company’s investments in Corporate Bonds are measured using readily available quoted prices for similar assets. Additionally, as noted above, the Company’s Marco OP and Marco OP II Units are ultimately exchangeable for cash or similar number of shares of Simon Stock, therefore the Company uses the quoted market price of Simon Stock to measure the fair value of the Company’s Marco OP and Marco OP II Units. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities with stated contractual maturity dates, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities: Schedule of contractual maturity June 30, Due in 1 year $ 2,007 Due in 1 year through 5 years 4,435 Due in 5 years through 10 years - Due after 10 years 11,670 Total $ 18,112 The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities, which would require revised valuations that are recognized at fair value.

The Margin Loan, which is due on demand, bears interest at LIBOR + 0.85% 0.95 Line of Credit The Company has a non-revolving credit facility (the “Line of Credit”) that provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $20.0 million, subject to a 55% loan-to-value ratio based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, is scheduled to mature on October 9, 2021 and bears interest at LIBOR + 1.35% 1.45 209,243 15.0

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Notes Receivable	6. Notes Receivable Beginning in 2019, the Company has formed certain joint ventures (collectively, the “NR Joint Ventures”) between wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “NR Subsidiaries”) and affiliates of the Sponsor (the “NR Affiliates”) which have originated nonrecourse loans (collectively, the “Joint Venture Promissory Notes”) to unaffiliated third-party borrowers (collectively, the “Joint Venture Borrowers”). The NR Subsidiaries and NR Affiliates have varying ownership interests in the NR Joint Ventures and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership serve as the manager and are the sole decision-maker for each of the NR Joint Ventures. The Company has determined that the NR Joint Ventures are VIEs and the NR Subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Since the NR Subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries, beginning on the applicable date of formation, the Company has consolidated the operating results and financial condition of the NR Joint Ventures and accounted for the respective ownership interests of the NR Affiliates as noncontrolling interests. The Joint Venture Promissory Notes provide for monthly interest at a prescribed variable rate, subject to a floor. In connection with funding of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes, the NR Joint Ventures have received origination fees ( 1.00 1.50 The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally have an initial term of one or two years and may provide for additional extension options subject to satisfaction of certain prescribed conditions, including the funding of an additional Loan Reserves and payment of an extension fee. The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are collateralized by either the membership interests of the Joint Venture Borrowers in the borrowing entity or the underlying real property being developed by the Joint Venture Borrower. The origination fees received are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are amortized into interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method, over the initial term of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes. The Loan Reserves are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are applied against the monthly interest due over the term. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, both the NR Subsidiaries and the NR Affiliates made aggregate contributions to the NR Joint Ventures of $ 40 3.5 7.9 1.1 The following tables summarize the Notes Receivable as of the dates indicated: Summary of Notes Receivable As of June 30, 2021 Company’s Loan Contractual Unamortized Ownership Commitment Origination Origination Maturity Interest Outstanding Origination Carrying Unfunded Joint Venture/Lender Percentage Amount Fee Date Date Rate Principal Reserves Fee Value Commitment LSC 162nd Capital I LLC 45.45 % $ 4,234 1.50 % February 5, 2019 September 11, 2021 Libor plus 7.50% (Floor of 11%) $ 4,076 $ (113 ) $ (8 ) $ 3,955 $ - LSC 162nd Capital II LLC 45.45 % 9,166 1.50 % February 5, 2019 September 11, 2021 Libor plus 7.50% (Floor of 11%) 8,824 (244 ) (18 ) 8,562 - LSC 1543 7th LLC 50 % 20,000 1.00 % August 27, 2019 August 26, 2021 Libor plus 5.40% (Floor of 7.90%) 20,000 - (33 ) 19,967 - LSC 1650 Lincoln LLC 50 % 24,000 1.00 % August 27, 2019 August 26, 2021 Libor plus 5.40% (Floor of 7.90%) 24,000 - (40 ) 23,960 - LSC 11640 Mayfield LLC 50 % 18,000 1.50 % March 4, 2020 March 1, 2022 Libor plus 10.50% (Floor of 12.50%) 10,750 (1,694 ) (91 ) 8,965 7,250 LSC 87 Newkirk LLC (1) 50 % 42,700 1.25 % July 2, 2020 December 1, 2021 Libor plus 6.00% (Floor of 7.00%) - - - - - Total $ 67,650 $ (2,051 ) $ (190 ) $ 65,409 $ 7,250 (1) Repaid in full during April 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Company’s Ownership Loan Commitment Origination Origination Maturity Contractual Interest Outstanding Unamortized Origination Carrying Unfunded Joint Venture/Lender Percentage Amount Fee Date Date Rate Principal Reserves Fee Value Commitment LSC 162nd Capital I LLC 45.45 % $ 4,234 1.50 % February 5, 2019 September 11, 2021 Libor plus 7.50% (Floor of 11%) $ 4,076 $ (338 ) $ (33 ) $ 3,705 $ - LSC 162nd Capital II LLC 45.45 % 9,166 1.50 % February 5, 2019 September 11, 2021 Libor plus 7.50% (Floor of 11%) 8,824 (732 ) (71 ) 8,021 - LSC 1543 7th LLC 50 % 20,000 1.00 % August 27, 2019 August 26, 2021 Libor plus 5.40% (Floor of 7.90%) 20,000 - (33 ) 19,967 - LSC 1650 Lincoln LLC 50 % 24,000 1.00 % August 27, 2019 August 26, 2021 Libor plus 5.40% (Floor of 7.90%) 24,000 - (40 ) 23,960 - LSC 11640 Mayfield LLC 50 % 18,000 1.50 % March 4, 2020 March 1, 2022 Libor plus 10.50% (Floor of 12.50%) 10,750 (2,369 ) (158 ) 8,223 7,250 LSC 87 Newkirk LLC 50 % 42,700 1.25 % July 2, 2020 December 1, 2021 Libor plus 6.00% (Floor of 7.00%) 42,700 (1,597 ) (355 ) 40,748  - Total $ 110,350 $ (5,036 ) $ (690 ) $ 104,624 $ 7,250 The following summarizes the interest earned (included in interest and dividend income on the consolidated statements of operations) for each of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes during the periods indicated: Summarizes the interest earned for each of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes For the Three Months For the Six Months Joint Venture/Lender 2021 2020 2021 2020 LSC 162nd Capital I LLC $ 126 $ 249 $ 250 $ 363 LSC 162nd Capital II LLC 272 540 541 785 LSC 1543 7th LLC 449 436 894 873 LSC 1650 Lincoln LLC 539 524 1,073 1,048 LSC 11640 Mayfield LLC 373 373 743 488 LSC 11640 Newkirk LLC 790 - 1,585 - Total $ 2,549 $ 2,122 $ 5,086 $ 3,557

Equity	9. Equity Share Repurchase Program The Company’s share repurchase program (the “SRP”) may provide its stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their shares of common stock back to the Company, subject to restrictions. On March 25, 2020, the Board of Directors amended the SRP to remove stockholder notice requirements and also approved the suspension of all redemptions effective immediately. Effective March 15, 2021 and May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors partially reopened the SRP to allow, subject to various conditions as set forth below, for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death and hardship, respectively, and set the price for all such purchases to $ 11.18 100 On an annual basis, the Company will not redeem in excess of 0.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the preceding year for either death or hardship redemptions, respectively. Redemption requests are expected to be processed on a quarterly basis and may be subject to pro ration if either type of redemption requests exceed the annual limitation. Net Earnings Per Share Basic net earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Dilutive income per share includes the potentially dilutive effect, if any, which would occur if our outstanding options to purchase our common stock were exercised. For all periods presented dilutive net income per share is equivalent to basic net income per share.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	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, 2020. 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 GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 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, 2020 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.
COVID-19 Pandemic	COVID-19 Pandemic The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. As a result of previously imposed restrictions, the Company temporarily closed its St. Augustine Outlet Center from March 20, 2020 through May 7, 2020. Primarily because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the property’s occupancy declined and also during 2020 the Company provided forbearance of certain rent payments to various tenants. Additionally, the Company has seen deterioration in both the occupancy and rental rates for Gantry Park Landing, which is located on Long Island, New York, as the luxury rental market in the greater New York City metropolitan area has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To-date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on the Company’s 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. The overall extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements	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, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 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.
