1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements. Except for the recently adopted IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) and the early adopted amendment to IFRS 3, Business combinations (“IFRS 3”), the interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with IFRS.

The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. 

These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’s general partner, BRPL, on November 11, 2019.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

References to $, C$, €, R$, COP, INR, ZAR, CNY are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Indian Rupees, South African Rand and Chinese Yuan, respectively.

All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(b) Basis of preparation

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Consolidation

These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.

(c) Changes to lease accounting policy

Brookfield Renewable has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under IAS 17 – Leases (“IAS 17”) and IFRIC 4 – Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (“IFRIC 4”). The details of accounting policies under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are disclosed separately if they are different from those under IFRS 16 and the impact of changes is disclosed in Note 1(d).

Policy applicable from January 1, 2019

At inception of a contract, Brookfield Renewable assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, Brookfield Renewable assesses whether:

• the contract specified explicitly or implicitly the use of an identified asset, and that is physically distinct or represents substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Q3 2019 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes	September 30, 2019
		Page 9

• Brookfield Renewable has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

• Brookfield Renewable has the right to direct the use of the asset. Brookfield Renewable has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined, Brookfield Renewable has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

◦ Brookfield Renewable has the right to operate the asset; or

◦ Brookfield Renewable designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, Brookfield Renewable allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, Brookfield Renewable has elected not to separate non-lease components and, therefore, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Accounting as a lessee under IFRS 16

Brookfield Renewable recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, Brookfield Renewable’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, Brookfield Renewable uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

• Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

• Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• The exercise price under a purchase option that Brookfield Renewable is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewable period if Brookfield Renewable is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless Brookfield Renewable is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in Brookfield Renewable’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if Brookfield Renewable changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made either to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or, when the adjustment is a reduction to the right-of-use asset, is recorded in the consolidated statements of income if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Brookfield Renewable presents right-of-use assets in Property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities in Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position as at September 30, 2019.

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Q3 2019 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes	September 30, 2019
		Page 10

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

Brookfield Renewable has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less and leases of low-value assets. Brookfield Renewable recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Policy applicable before January 1, 2019

For contracts entered into before January 1, 2019, Brookfield Renewable determined whether that arrangement was or contained a lease based on the assessment of whether:

• Fulfillment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and

• The arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset. An arrangement conveyed a right to use the asset if one of the following was met:

◦ The purchaser had the ability or right to operate the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output;

◦ The purchaser had the ability or right to control physical access to the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output; or

◦ Facts and circumstances indicated that it was remote that other parties would take more than an insignificant amount of the output, and the price per unit was neither fixed per unit of output nor equal to the market price per unit of output.

Accounting as a lessee under IAS 17

In the comparative period, as a lessee Brookfield Renewable classified leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership as finance leases. When this was the case, the lease assets were measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments were the payments over the lease term that the lessee was required to make, excluding any contingent rent.

Subsequently, the assets were accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Assets held under other leases were classified as operating leases and were not recognized in Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated statements of financial position. Payments made under operating leases were recognized in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received were recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

(d) Recently adopted accounting standards

Except for the changes below, Brookfield Renewable has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 3 – Business Combinations

In October 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 3, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The amendment clarifies that a business must include, at minimum, an input and a substantive process that together contribute to the ability to create outputs, and assists companies in determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of a group of assets by providing supplemental guidance for assessing whether an acquired process is substantive. Brookfield Renewable has decided to early adopt the amendments to IFRS 3 effective January 1, 2019 and shall apply the amended standard in assessing business combinations on a prospective basis. For acquisitions that are determined to be acquisitions of assets as opposed to business combinations, Brookfield Renewable will allocate the transaction price and transaction costs to the individual identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their relative fair values, and no goodwill will be recognized. Acquisitions that continue to meet the definition of a business combination will be accounted for under the acquisition method, without any changes to Brookfield Renewable’s accounting policy.

IFRS 16 – Leases

On January 1, 2019 Brookfield Renewable adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings at that date. As a result, Brookfield Renewable has changed its accounting policy for lease contracts as detailed below.

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.	Q3 2019 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes	September 30, 2019
		Page 11

Definition of a lease

Previously, Brookfield Renewable determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, Brookfield Renewable assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 1(c).

On transition to IFRS 16, Brookfield Renewable elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. Brookfield Renewable applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed to determine whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at Brookfield Renewable’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

Brookfield Renewable used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:

• Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use asset and liabilities for leases with less than twelve months of lease term; and

• Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

Leases classified as finance leases under IAS 17

For leases that were classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 are determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.

Impacts on financial statements

On transition to IFRS 16, Brookfield Renewable recognized an additional $145 million of right-of-use assets and $147 million of lease liabilities, recognizing the difference in retained earnings.

When measuring lease liabilities, Brookfield Renewable discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied was 5.5%. The difference between the operating lease commitments disclosed at December 31, 2018 of $250 million and leases liabilities recognized at January 1, 2019 of $147 million is primarily due to the time value of money.

2. ACQUISITIONS

India Wind Portfolio

Brookfield Renewable, along with its institutional partners, completed a transaction in India to acquire a 105 MW operating wind facility on June 7, 2019 and a 105 MW operating wind facility on July 8, 2019 (collectively, the "India Wind Portfolio").

Brookfield Renewable acquired the India Wind Portfolio for a total consideration of INR 4.6 billion ($67 million), plus a contingent payment expected to be INR 0.8 billion ($12 million). Brookfield Renewable expects to hold a 25% economic interest. The total acquisition costs of less than $1 million were expensed as incurred and have been classified under Other in the consolidated statement of income.

Brookfield Renewable has a voting agreement with an affiliate of Brookfield that ultimately controls the India Wind Portfolio. Pursuant to this voting agreement, Brookfield Renewable is entitled to direct the election of the directors of the Brookfield affiliate that ultimately controls and operates the India Wind Portfolio.

This investment was accounted for using the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the revenue from India Wind Portfolio would have been $34 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

China Wind Facility

On September 30, 2019, Brookfield Renewable, along with its institutional partners, completed the acquisition of a 200 MW operating wind facility in China ("China Wind Facility") for a total consideration of CNY 1,140 million ($160 million). Brookfield Renewable expects to hold a 25% economic interest. The total acquisition costs of less than $1 million were expensed as incurred and have been classified under Other in the consolidated statement of income.

Brookfield Renewable has a voting agreement with an affiliate of Brookfield that ultimately controls the China Wind Facility. Pursuant to this voting agreement, Brookfield Renewable is entitled to direct the election of the directors of the Brookfield affiliate that ultimately controls and operates the China Wind Facility.

This investment was accounted for using the acquisition method, and the results of operations have been included in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, the revenue from the China Wind Facility would have been $30 million for the for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The purchase price allocation, at fair value, with respect to the acquisitions are as follows:

(MILLIONS)	India Wind			China Wind			Total
Restricted cash	$	4		$	2		$	6

3. DISPOSAL OF ASSETS

In May and August 2019, Brookfield Renewable, along with its institutional partners, completed the partial sale of its South African Portfolio, corresponding to 146 MW of wind and solar assets. The total consideration was ZAR 1,651 million ($112 million). This resulted in a loss on disposition of $8 million recognized in the consolidated statements of income under Other. The total proceeds, net of foreign exchange contract settlements, was $135 million ($42 million net to Brookfield Renewable). Immediately prior to the classification of the portfolio as held for sale in 2018, Brookfield Renewable performed a revaluation of the property, plant and equipment and recorded a fair value uplift of $42 million, in line with its election to apply the revaluation method. Brookfield Renewable’s interest in the portfolio was approximately 31%. As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable's portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $13 million post-tax was reclassified from other comprehensive income directly to equity and noted as an Other item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Summarized financial information relating to the disposal of the South Africa portfolio is shown below:

5.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RISK MANAGEMENT

Brookfield Renewable`s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.

There have been no material changes in exposure to these risks since the December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements.

Fair value disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.

Assets and liabilitiesmeasured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.

Level 1 - inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

6. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.

Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) solar, 4) storage & other (cogeneration and biomass), and 5) corporate – with hydroelectric and wind further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe and Asia). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results, manages operations and allocates resources. The Colombia segment aggregates the financial results of its hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. The Canada segment includes the financial results of our strategic investment in TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta"). The corporate segment represents all activity performed above the individual segments for the business.

Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder (holders of the GP interest, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and LP Units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to Brookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.

Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.

Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.

Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.

In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, Brookfield Renewable discloses information about its reportable segments based upon the measures used by the CODM in assessing performance. Except as it relates to proportionate financial information discussed above, the accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Funds From Operations.

Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders and preferred limited partners and other typical non-recurring items.

Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of its operations and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less management service costs, interest and current income taxes, which is then adjusted for the cash portion of non-controlling interests and distributions to preferred shareholders and preferred limited partners.

Medium term notes

Medium term notes are obligations of a finance subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC (“Finco”) (Note 20 - Subsidiary public issuers). Finco may redeem some or all of the borrowings from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture. The balance is payable upon maturity, and interest on corporate borrowings is paid semi-annually. The term notes payable by Finco are unconditionally guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”) and certain other subsidiaries.

On September 13, 2019, Brookfield Renewable completed the issuance of C$300 million ($227 million) Series 12 medium term notes and C$300 million ($227 million) Series 13 medium term notes. The medium term notes have fixed interest rates of 3.38% and 4.29%, respectively, and have maturity dates of January 2030 and November 2049, respectively. Both series were corporate-level green bonds.

Subsequent to quarter-end, Brookfield Renewable repaid C$450 million ($340 million) of Series 7 medium-term notes.

Non-recourse borrowings

Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in North America and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") and the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”). Brookfield Renewable uses interest rate swap agreements in North America and Europe to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia consist of both fixed and floating interest rates indexed to Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (IBR), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, and Colombian Consumer Price Index (IPC), Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in India consist of fixed interest rate debt. Non-recourse borrowings in China consist of floating interest rates of People's Bank of China ("PBOC").

Commitments

In the course of its operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries have entered into agreements for the use of water, land and dams. Payment under those agreements varies with the amount of power generated. The various agreements can be renewed and are extendable up to 2091.

Together with institutional partners, Brookfield Renewable is committed to invest C$400 million in TransAlta's convertible securities in October 2020. We also agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to increase our ownership of TransAlta common shares to 9% up to a price ceiling.

During the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, alongside institutional partners, entered into a commitment to invest approximately $550 million to acquire a 50% interest in X-Elio, a global independent solar platform. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to closing conditions, with Brookfield Renewable expected to hold a 25% interest.

Contingencies

Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business.

(MILLIONS)	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Guarantees

In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, and sales and purchases of assets and services. Brookfield Renewable has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents Brookfield Renewable from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that Brookfield Renewable could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither Brookfield Renewable nor its subsidiaries have made material payments under such indemnification agreements.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to quarter-end, we announced our intention to create a Canadian corporation (“BEPC”) with publicly-traded shares that we expect will be economically-equivalent to the limited partnership units of Brookfield Renewable. The class A shares of BEPC are expected to be distributed as a special distribution to Brookfield Renewable’s existing unitholders, other than preferred unitholders. The class A shares of BEPC will be structured with the intention of being economically equivalent to the limited partnership units of BEP and will be exchangeable, at the shareholder's option, for one BEP limited partnership unit. Subject to receiving required approvals, the BEPC class A shares will be publicly listed. A registration statement on Form F-1 in connection with this transaction was filed with the SEC on November 8, 2019 and a preliminary prospectus will be filed with the securities regulators in Canada (and available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR's website at www.sedar.com). This Interim Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of BEPC or BEP, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
