Business and Organization
Business and Organization	1. Business and Organization Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (‘‘Lightstone REIT III’’), is a Maryland corporation, formed on October 5, 2012, which elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (‘‘REIT’’) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. The Lightstone REIT III is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, and substantially all of its current and future business will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT III LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the ‘‘Operating Partnership’’). As of September 30, 2020, Lightstone REIT III held an approximately 99% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership’s common units. Lightstone REIT III 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 Lightstone REIT III, its Operating Partnership or the Company as required by the context in such pronoun used. The Company has and will continue to seek to acquire a diverse portfolio of real estate assets and real estate-related investments, including hotels, other commercial and/or residential properties, primarily located in the United States. All such properties may be acquired and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company may also originate or acquire mortgage loans secured by real estate. Although the Company expects that most of its investments will be of these types, it may make other investments. In fact, it may invest in whatever types of real estate-related investments that it believes are in its best interests. The Company currently has one operating segment. As of September 30, 2020, the Company majority owned and consolidated the operating results and financial condition of eight limited service hotels containing a total of 872 rooms and an unconsolidated 50.0% membership interest in LVP LIC Hotel JV LLC (the “Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture”). The Company accounts for its unconsolidated membership interest in the Hilton Garden Inn Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s advisor is Lightstone Value Plus REIT III LLC (the “Advisor”), which is majority owned by David Lichtenstein. On July 16, 2014, the Advisor contributed $2,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner units in the Operating Partnership. The Advisor also owns 20,000 shares of our common stock (“Common Shares”) which were issued on December 24, 2012 for $200,000, or $10.00 per share. Mr. Lichtenstein also is a majority owner of the equity interests of the Lightstone Group, LLC. The Lightstone Group, LLC served as the Company’s sponsor (the ‘‘Sponsor’’) during its initial public offering (the “Offering”) which terminated on March 31, 2017. Mr. Lichtenstein owns 222,222 Common Shares which were issued on December 11, 2014 for $2.0 million, or $9.00 per share. Subject to the oversight of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), the Advisor has primary responsibility for making investment decisions on behalf of the Company and managing its day-to-day operations. Through his ownership and control of the Lightstone Group, LLC, Mr. Lichtenstein is the indirect owner and manager of Lightstone SLP III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Special Limited Partner”), which owns 242 subordinated participation interests (“Subordinated Participation Interests”) in the Operating Partnership which were acquired for $12.1 million in connection with the Offering. Mr. Lichtenstein also acts as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a result, he exerts influence over but does not control Lightstone REIT III or the Operating Partnership. The Company does not have any employees. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The Company’s Advisor has certain affiliates which may manage the properties the Company acquires. However, the Company also contracts with other unaffiliated third-party property managers, principally for the management of its hospitality properties. The Company’s Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The Company may seek to list its Common Shares for trading on a national securities exchange only if a majority of its independent directors believe listing would be in the best interest of its stockholders. The Company does not intend to list its Common Shares at this time. The Company does not anticipate that there would be any market for its Common Shares until they are listed for trading. In the event the Company does not begin the process of achieving a liquidity event prior to March 31, 2025, which is the eighth anniversary of the termination of its Offering, its charter requires either (a) an amendment to its charter to extend the deadline to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event, or (b) the holding of a stockholders meeting to vote on a proposal for an orderly liquidation of its portfolio. Noncontrolling Interests - Partners of the Operating Partnership Limited Partner On July 16, 2014, the Advisor contributed $2,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 200 limited partner units in the Operating Partnership. The Advisor has the right to convert limited partner units into cash or, at the Company’s option, an equal number of its Common Shares. Special Limited Partner In connection with the Company’s Offering, which terminated on March 31, 2017, the Special Limited Partner purchased from the Operating Partnership an aggregate of approximately 242 Subordinated Participation Interests for consideration of $12.1 million. The Subordinated Participation Interests were each purchased for $50,000 in consideration and may be entitled to receive liquidation distributions upon the liquidation of Lightstone REIT III. As the majority owner of the Special Limited Partner, Mr. Lichtenstein is the beneficial owner of a 99% interest in such Subordinated Participation Interests and will thus receive an indirect benefit from any distributions made in respect thereof. These Subordinated Participation Interests entitle the Special Limited Partner to a portion of any regular and liquidation distributions that the Company makes to its stockholders, but only after its stockholders have received a stated preferred return. The Advisor and its affiliates and the Special Limited Partner are related parties of the Company. Certain of these entities are entitled to compensation for services related to the investment, management and disposition of our assets during the Company’s acquisition, operational and liquidation stages. The compensation levels during the acquisition and operational stages are 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. See Note 8 – Related Party Transactions for additional information.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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, 2019. The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 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. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 depreciable lives. 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, 2019 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. To qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT, we engage in certain activities through wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). As such, we are subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities. Revenue The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Revenues 2020 2019 2020 2019 Room $ 3,363,015 $ 9,148,423 $ 10,692,786 $ 24,414,976 Food, beverage and other 109,770 403,264 406,913 1,097,882 Total revenues $ 3,472,785 $ 9,551,687 $ 11,099,699 $ 25,512,858 Restricted cash As required by the Company’s lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, debt service payments and other reserves for certain of the Company’s consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves. As of December 31, 2019, restricted cash also included approximately $5.2 million of the net proceeds from the October 2019 sale of the Company’s SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel, located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. These funds were temporarily placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary to potentially facilitate a like-kind exchange transaction in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. However, the Company decided not to pursue a like-kind exchange transaction and the funds were subsequently released in May 2020. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT III and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of September 30, 2020, Lightstone REIT III had an approximate 99% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic leading many countries, including the United 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 result of the COVID-19 pandemic, room demand for the Company's consolidated and unconsolidated hotels began to significantly decline in March 2020 and these trends have continued through the third quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the Company's operations and financial results to date and the Company currently expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a significant negative impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. The Company cannot estimate when room demand will recover for its hotels. In light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating results of its hotels, the Company has taken certain actions to preserve its liquidity, including the following: · The Company has implemented cost reduction strategies for all of its hotels, which has led to reductions in both operating expenses and planned capital expenditures. · On June 2, 2020, the Company and the lender agreed to certain changes to the terms of the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), including (i) the deferral of monthly debt service for payments previously due from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, which will now be due at maturity; (ii) subject to certain conditions, the interest rate spread was reduced by 100 bps to LIBOR + 2.15%, subject to a 3.00% floor, for the six-month period beginning September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) the Company deposited $0.8 million into a cash collateral account to be applied against the monthly debt service payments due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and waiver of all financial covenants for periods before June 30, 2021 and the Company is currently in discussions with the lender to further extend the waiver of all financial covenants. However, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in such endeavors. See Note 5 for additional information. · In April 2020, the Company received an aggregate of $1.5 million from loans provided under the federal Paycheck Protection Program. See Note 6 for additional information. · On March 19, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the suspension of all redemptions under the Company’s shareholder redemption program. See Note 11 for additional information. · In May 2020, the Company had approximately $5.2 million of funds released to it from an escrow account. See Note 2 for additional information. Based on these actions, along with its cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. New Accounting Pronouncements 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.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company experienced a holding gain of approximately $0.1 million and a holding loss of approximately $0.3 million on its available for sale marketable debt securities, respectively. The holding gain and loss are included in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As a result, the Company's marketable debt securities had an aggregate net unrealized loss of approximately $0.4 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company considers the declines in market value of its investments in debt securities to be temporary in nature as the unrealized losses were caused primarily by financial market volatility associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic resulting in significant reductions in market interest rates and market prices of certain debt securities. When evaluating its investments in 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 debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its investments in debt securities. As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not consider any of its investments in 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. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s equity securities were classified as Level 1 assets and the Company’s debt securities were classified as Level 2 assets. There were no transfers between the level classifications during the during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The fair values of the Company’s investments in equity securities are measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and debt securities are measured using readily available quoted prices for similar assets. 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: As of September 30, 2020 Due in 1 year $ — Due in 1 year through 5 years 2,155,050 Due in 5 year through 10 years — Due after 10 years 406,875 Total $ 2,561,925 The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities, which would require revised valuations that are recognized at fair value.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company with a line of credit of up to $60.0 million pursuant to which it may designate properties as collateral that allow borrowings up to a 65.0% loan-to-value ratio subject to also meeting certain financial covenants, including a prescribed minimum debt yield. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for monthly interest-only payments and the entire principal balance is due upon its expiration. The Revolving Credit Facility, which was entered into on July 13, 2016, had an initial maturity date of July 13, 2019, subject to two one-year options to extend at the sole discretion of the lender. The initial interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was LIBOR+ 4.95% until it was reduced to LIBOR+ 3.50% effective June 18, 2018. On July 11, 2019, the Company and the lender amended the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the initial maturity date for 60 days to provide additional time to finalize the terms of a long-term extension. In connection with this amendment, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced from LIBOR+ 3.50% to LIBOR+ 3.15%, effective July 1, 2019 and the requirements under the minimum debt yield ratio were modified effective as of March 31, 2019. On August 22, 2019, the Company and the lender further amended the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to July 13, 2022, subject to two, one-year options to extend at the sole discretion of the lender. In connection with this amendment, the Company made principal paydowns of approximately $0.6 million on both August 22, 2019 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and in certain circumstances would be required to make an additional principal paydown of approximately $0.6 million on April 1, 2020. On June 2, 2020, the Company and the lender agreed to certain changes to the terms of the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility "), including (i) the deferral of monthly debt service for payments previously due from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, which are now due at maturity; (ii) subject to certain conditions, the interest rate spread was reduced by 100 bps to LIBOR + 2.15%, subject to a 3.00% floor, for the six-month period beginning September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) the Company deposited $0.8 million into a cash collateral account (which is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets) to be applied against the monthly debt service payments due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and waiver of all financial covenants for periods before June 30, 2021 and the Company is currently in discussions with the lender to further extend the waiver of all financial covenants. However, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in such endeavors. Additionally, a principal paydown of approximately $0.6 million, which was previously due on April 1, 2020 was bifurcated into two separate principal paydowns, each one approximately $0.3 million, which were made in June 2020 and September 2020. As of September 30 , 2020, the Revolving Credit Facility had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $38.4 million and six of the Company's hotel properties were pledged as collateral. Home2 Suites Promissory Note On October 5, 2016, the Company entered into a non-recourse promissory note (the “Home2 Suites Promissory Note”) for $28.4 million. The Promissory Note has a term of five years, bears interest at 4.73% and requires monthly interest and principal payments of $147,806 through its stated maturity with the then remaining unpaid balance of approximately $26.1 million due upon maturity. The Home2 Suites Promissory Note is cross-collateralized by two of the Company’s hotel properties (Home2 Suites – Tukwila and Home2 Suites – Salt Lake City). Although the Company is current with respect to the payment of debt service on its nonrecourse Home2 Suites Promissory Note, it did not meet the required minimum debt service coverage ratio for the third quarter of 2020 because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating performance of these two hotels. As a result, the lender may elect to retain any excess cash flow from these two hotels until such time as a prescribed minimum debt service coverage ratio is achieved for two successive quarters. If the lender elects to retain any excess cash flow from these two hotels, the Company does not believe it would have a material effect on its liquidity or financial condition. Principal Maturities The following table, based on the initial terms of the mortgage, sets forth their aggregate estimated contractual principal maturities, including balloon payments due at maturity, as of September 30, 2020: 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Thereafter Total Principal maturities $ 125,456 $ 26,509,613 $ 38,414,814 $ — $ — $ — $ 65,049,883 Less: Deferred financing costs (206,745) Total principal maturities, net $ 64,843,138 Pursuant to the Company’s debt agreements, approximately $3.3 million and $2.3 million of funds were held in restricted escrow accounts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Such escrows are subject to release in accordance with the applicable debt agreement for the payment of real estate taxes, debt service payments, insurance and capital improvements, as required. Certain of our debt agreements contain clauses providing for prepayment penalties.

Notes Payable	6. Notes Payable During April 2020, the Company, through various subsidiaries (each such entity, a "Borrower"), received aggregate funding of $1.5 million through loans (the "PPP Loans") originated under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The PPP Loans each have a term of five years and provide for an interest rate of 1.00%. The payment of principal and interest on the PPP loan is deferred until the day that the forgiven amount is remitted to the lender (approximately five months after the forgiveness application is submitted to the lender, unless the Borrower appeals a denial of forgiveness) or ten months after the end of the Borrower's covered period, whichever is earlier. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of the PPP Loans may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs. The promissory note for each of the PPP Loans contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breach of representations and warranties or of provisions of the relevant promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, each Borrower can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loans. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. Although the Company intends for each Borrower to apply for loan forgiveness, no assurance can be given that any Borrower will ultimately obtain forgiveness under any relevant PPP Loan, in whole or in part. As of September 30, 2020, the PPP Loans had an outstanding balance of $1.5 million and are classified as Notes Payable on the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue	Revenue The following table represents the total revenues from hotel operations on a disaggregated basis: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Revenues 2020 2019 2020 2019 Room $ 3,363,015 $ 9,148,423 $ 10,692,786 $ 24,414,976 Food, beverage and other 109,770 403,264 406,913 1,097,882 Total revenues $ 3,472,785 $ 9,551,687 $ 11,099,699 $ 25,512,858
Restricted Cash	Restricted cash As required by the Company’s lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, debt service payments and other reserves for certain of the Company’s consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves. As of December 31, 2019, restricted cash also included approximately $5.2 million of the net proceeds from the October 2019 sale of the Company’s SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel, located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. These funds were temporarily placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary to potentially facilitate a like-kind exchange transaction in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. However, the Company decided not to pursue a like-kind exchange transaction and the funds were subsequently released in May 2020.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT III and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). As of September 30, 2020, Lightstone REIT III had an approximate 99% general partnership interest in the common units of the Operating Partnership. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update	COVID-19 Pandemic Operations and Liquidity Update On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic leading many countries, including the United 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 result of the COVID-19 pandemic, room demand for the Company's consolidated and unconsolidated hotels began to significantly decline in March 2020 and these trends have continued through the third quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the Company's operations and financial results to date and the Company currently expects that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a significant negative impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. The Company cannot estimate when room demand will recover for its hotels. In light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the operating results of its hotels, the Company has taken certain actions to preserve its liquidity, including the following: · The Company has implemented cost reduction strategies for all of its hotels, which has led to reductions in both operating expenses and planned capital expenditures. · On June 2, 2020, the Company and the lender agreed to certain changes to the terms of the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), including (i) the deferral of monthly debt service for payments previously due from April 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, which will now be due at maturity; (ii) subject to certain conditions, the interest rate spread was reduced by 100 bps to LIBOR + 2.15%, subject to a 3.00% floor, for the six-month period beginning September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021; (iii) the Company deposited $0.8 million into a cash collateral account to be applied against the monthly debt service payments due from October 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021; and waiver of all financial covenants for periods before June 30, 2021 and the Company is currently in discussions with the lender to further extend the waiver of all financial covenants. However, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in such endeavors. See Note 5 for additional information. · In April 2020, the Company received an aggregate of $1.5 million from loans provided under the federal Paycheck Protection Program. See Note 6 for additional information. · On March 19, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the suspension of all redemptions under the Company’s shareholder redemption program. See Note 11 for additional information. · In May 2020, the Company had approximately $5.2 million of funds released to it from an escrow account. See Note 2 for additional information. Based on these actions, along with its cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements 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
