(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization, Business Purpose and Capitalization

Organization and Business Purpose

Belpointe PREP, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed on January 24, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company. We operate in a manner that allows us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate located within “qualified opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property, which enables us to be classified as a “qualified opportunity fund” as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020.

We commenced principal operations on October 28, 2020. All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, one or more operating companies (each an “Operating Company” and together, our “Operating Companies”), either directly or indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (our “Manager”), an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our “Sponsor”). Subject to the oversight of our board of directors (our “Board”), our Manager is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf.

Our Transaction with Belpointe REIT

Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, we conducted an offer to exchange (the “Offer”) each outstanding share of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Belpointe REIT, Inc. (“Belpointe REIT”) for 1.05 of our Class A units, with any fractional Class A units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The Offer was completed on September 14, 2021.

Following the Offer, Belpointe REIT was converted from a corporation into a limited liability company (the “Conversion”). In the Conversion each outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company interest (an “Interest”). Thereafter, the limited liability company was merged with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”), and each outstanding Interest was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. The Merger was completed on October 12, 2021.

Capitalization

We are offering Class A units in our ongoing initial public offering (our “Primary Offering”) directly to investors. Our Primary Offering is a “best efforts” offering and we undertake closings on a rolling basis.

We set our Primary Offering price at $100.00 per Class A unit. No later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end, and every quarter thereafter, we plan to calculate our net asset value (“NAV”) within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases below the price per Class A unit as stated in our prospectus, we will adjust the Primary Offering price, effective as of the first business day following its public announcement. The adjusted Primary Offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded to the nearest dollar) divided by the number of Class A Units outstanding on the Determination Date.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are unaudited and may not include year-end adjustments necessary to make them comparable to audited results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portion of members’ capital (deficit) in controlled subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented in noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

We have evaluated our economic interest in entities to determine if they are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and whether the entities should be consolidated. An entity is a VIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The distinction between a VIE and other entities is based on the nature and amount of the equity investment and the rights and obligations of the equity investors. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights.

Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review all agreements and contractual arrangements to determine whether (i) we or another party have any variable interests in an entity, (ii) the entity is considered a VIE, and (iii) which variable interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether a party (a) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (b) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The following table presents the financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively (amounts in thousands):

 Schedule of Variable Interest Entities

An interest in a VIE requires reconsideration when an event occurs that was not originally contemplated. At each reporting period we will reassess whether there are any events that require us to reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether it should be consolidated.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are permitted to use an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the consolidated financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of amounts required to be reserved pursuant to contractual obligations and lender agreements for debt service. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows (amounts in thousands):

Schedule of Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Risks and Uncertainties

Demand for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties is subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of factors, including, among others, increasing interest rates, higher rates of inflation, ongoing supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and the continuing impact of COVID-19. The potential effect of these and other factors presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance and financial results, including the potential to negatively impact our costs of operations, our financing arrangements, the value of our investments, and the laws, regulations, and government and regulatory policies applicable to us. We are closely monitoring the potential impact of these and other factors on all aspects of our business.

Note 3 – Related Party Arrangements

Our Transaction with Norpointe, LLC

On January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “Norpointe Loan”) to Norpointe, LLC (“Norpointe”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. Norpointe is the owner of certain real property located at 41 Wolfpit Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 (the “Norpointe Property”). The Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and payable on December 31, 2022, and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.

On June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund requirements, we restructured the Norpointe Loan through BPOZ 1000 First QOZB, LLC (“BPOZ 1000”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary, whereby BPOZ 1000 provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “QOZB Loan”) to Norpointe. Thereafter, on June 28, 2022, Norpointe repaid the Norpointe Loan in full. The QOZB Loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and payable on June 28, 2023, and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we pay our Manager a quarterly management fee in arrears of one-fourth of 0.75%. The management fee is based on our NAV at the end of each quarter, which, no later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end, and every quarter thereafter, will be announced within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter.

On March 29, 2022, we commenced construction on one of our properties located in Sarasota, Florida, and in connection therewith, due to increases in scope of work and construction costs, we revised our construction budget. As a result of the revisions to our construction budget we incurred an additional upfront development fee of $1.6 million, which is included in Real estate under construction in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet. The remaining development fee will be earned throughout the project in accordance with the terms of the development management agreement.

We did not incur any acquisition fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, since all investments acquired during these periods were, or will be, subject to payment of development fees.

Insurance

Certain immediate family members of our Chief Executive Officer have a passive indirect minority beneficial ownership interest in Belpointe Specialty Insurance, LLC (“Belpointe Specialty Insurance”). Belpointe Specialty Insurance has acted as our broker in connection with the placement of insurance coverage for certain of our properties and operations. Belpointe Specialty Insurance earns brokerage commissions related to the brokerage services that it provides to us, which commissions vary, are based on a percentage of the premiums that we pay and are set by the insurer. We have also engaged Belpointe Specialty Insurance to provide us with contract insurance consulting services related to owner-controlled insurance programs, for which we pay an administration fee.

As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor. In the event that these companies are unable to provide us with the services we have engaged them to provide, we would be required to find alternative service providers.

Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., the exit price).

We categorize our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Valuation generated from model-based techniques that use inputs that are significant and unobservable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation.

The carrying value of our loans receivable totaled $34.9 million and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and had estimated fair values of $34.7 million and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our loans receivable using a discounted cash flow model taking into account the investments liquidity, the strength of the loan collateral, quality of the credit profile of the obligor, term to maturity and the likelihood of a liquidity event, among other factors. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (our “Operating Agreement”) generally authorizes our Board to issue an unlimited number of units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to such units for consideration or for no consideration and on the terms and conditions as determined by our Board, in its sole discretion, in most cases without the approval of our members. These additional securities may be used for a variety of purposes, including in future offerings to raise additional capital and acquisitions. Our Operating Agreement currently authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of Class A units, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit.

Overview

We are the only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability company, formed on January 24, 2020, and we currently intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate located within qualified opportunity zones. At least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property. We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020. Because we are a qualified opportunity fund certain of our investors are eligible for favorable capital gains tax treatment on their investments.

All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, one or more of our Operating Companies, either directly or indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (our “Manager”), which is an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our “Sponsor”).

Our Transactions with Belpointe REIT, Inc.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), we conducted an offer to exchange (the “Offer”) each outstanding share of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of Belpointe REIT, Inc. (“Belpointe REIT”) validly tendered in the Offer for 1.05 of our Class A units, with any fractional Class A units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The Offer was completed on September 14, 2021.

Following the Offer, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Belpointe REIT converted from a corporation into a limited liability company (the “Conversion”) named BREIT, LLC (“BREIT”). In the Conversion each outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company interest (an “Interest”) in BREIT. The Conversion was completed on October 1, 2021.

Following the Conversion, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, LLC (“BREIT Merger”), our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each outstanding Interest was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. The Merger was completed on October 12, 2021.

Prior to and in connection with the Offer and Merger, we entered into a series of loan transactions with Belpointe REIT, whereby Belpointe REIT advanced us an aggregate of $74.0 million evidenced by a series of secured promissory notes (the “Secured Notes”) bearing interest at an annual rate of 0.14%, due and payable on December 31, 2021, and secured by all of our assets. Upon consummation of the Merger, BREIT Merger acquired the Secured Notes as successor in interest to Belpointe REIT and, effective October 12, 2021, we entered into a Release and Cancellation of Indebtedness agreement with BREIT Merger pursuant to the terms of which BREIT Merger cancelled the Secured Notes and discharged us from all obligations to repay the principal and any accrued interest on the Secured Notes.

Our Business Outlook

While market conditions for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties have remained strong over the past several quarters, future economic conditions and the demand for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties are, and the real estate industry in general is, subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of factors, including, among others, increasing interest rates, higher rates of inflation, financial market volatility, general economic uncertainty, increasing energy costs, ongoing supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and the continuing impact of COVID-19. The potential effect of these and other factors and the projected impact of these and other events on our business, results of operations and financial performance presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance and financial results, including the potential to negatively impact our costs of operations, our financing arrangements, the value of our investments, and the laws, regulations and governmental and regulatory policies applicable to us. As a result, our past performance may not be indicative of future results.

Given the evolving nature of these factors, the extent to which they may impact our future performance and financial results will depend on future developments which remain highly uncertain and, as a result, at this time we are unable to estimate the impact that these factors may have on our future financial results. Our Manager continuously reviews our investment and financing strategies for optimization and to reduce our risk in the face of the fluidity of these and other factors.

As part of our acquisition of 900 8th Avenue South, on February 24, 2021, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Company and an unaffiliated third party (the “JV Partner”) entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) for BPOZ 900 Eighth QOZB, LLC (the “BPOZ 900 Eighth QOZB”), an indirect holding company for 900 8th Avenue South.

Investments in Commercial Real Estate Loans

Norpointe Secured Loan – On January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “Norpointe Loan”) to Norpointe, LLC (“Norpointe”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. Norpointe is the owner of certain real property located at 41 Wolfpit Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 (the “Norpointe Property”). The Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and payable on December 31, 2022, and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property. Given our excess cash on hand as of the year ended December 31, 2021, management viewed the Norpointe transaction as an opportunity to earn a strong rate of return on that cash by making a low risk—due to the low loan-to-value ratio and first priority mortgage interest—short-term loan rather than depositing the funds in a lower yielding account pending investment in future developments.

On June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund requirements, we restructured the Norpointe Loan through BPOZ 1000 First QOZB, LLC (“BPOZ 1000”), our indirect majority-owned subsidiary, whereby BPOZ 1000 provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “QOZB Loan”) to Norpointe. Thereafter, on June 28, 2022, Norpointe repaid the Norpointe Loan in full. The QOZB Loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and payable on June 28, 2023 and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.

Visco Secured Loan – On February 23, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Visco Loan”) to Visco Propco, LLC (“Visco”). Visco is the owner of certain real property located at 801 Visco Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37210 (the “Visco Property”). The Visco Loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 6.0%, due and payable on February 18, 2023, and is secured by a first lien deed of trust on the Visco Property.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Rental Revenue

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, rental revenue increased by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021. This increase is primarily due to an increase in lease revenues as a result of our acquisition of additional properties partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue as a result of the sole tenant vacating our 1900 Fruitville Road investment.

Expenses

Property Expenses

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, property expenses consisted of management fees, property operational expenses, real estate taxes, and utilities and insurance expenses incurred in relation to our acquired investments. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 property expenses consisted of property expenses, real estate taxes, and utilities and insurance expenses incurred in relation to our acquired investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, property expenses increased by $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to management fees incurred following our Registration Statement being declared effective and properties acquired during 2022 and 2021.

General and Administrative

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021. General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of employee cost sharing expenses (pursuant to our management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement), marketing expenses, legal, audit, tax and accounting fees. The Company became liable for general and administrative costs in October 2021, in connection with the first closing of our Offering, and therefore general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily consisted of employee cost sharing expenses (pursuant to our management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement).

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization increased by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021. This increase is primarily due to operating properties acquired during 2022 and 2021.

Other Income (Loss)

Gain on Redemption of Equity Investment

On September 30, 2021, we lent approximately $3.5 million to CMC Storrs SPV, LLC a Connecticut limited liability company (“CMC”), pursuant to the terms of a promissory note (the “CMC Note”) secured by a Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement. CMC used the proceeds from the CMC Note to enter into a Redemption Agreement with BPOZ 497 Middle Holding, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“BPOZ 497”), and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Belpointe REIT, to redeem BPOZ 497’s preferred equity investment in CMC in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

In connection with CMC’s redemption of BPOZ 497’s preferred equity investment, we recognized a gain on redemption of equity investment of $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was no comparable activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, interest income was $0.5 million and is primarily related to interest of $0.4 million earned on the QOZB Loan and $0.1 million earned on the Visco Loan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest income was $1.5 million and is primarily related to interest of $0.7 million earned on the Norpointe Loan, $0.4 million earned on the QOZB Loan, $0.2 million earned on the CMC Loan, and $0.2 million earned on the Visco Loan.

Effective September 14, 2021, Belpointe REIT lent $24.8 million to Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Belpointe Investment”), and affiliate of our Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note (the “BI Secured Note”). Interest accrued on the BI Secured Note at a rate of 5% per annum and was repaid on November 30, 2021, in connection with our acquisition of 1991 Main. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income on the BI Secured Note was $0.1 million and was primarily related to interest earned on the BI Secured Note.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expense) primarily relates to tax fees, sales tax in connection with the 1991 Main parking garage easement agreement and interest expense on the 900 Eighth Promissory Note. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, other income (expense) relates to the elimination of interest expense on the Secured Notes as a result of the Offer. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other income (expense) relates to Belpointe PREP’s proportionate share of losses from one unconsolidated joint venture as well as interest expense incurred on the 900 Eighth Promissory Note.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, provision for income taxes relates to taxes incurred (including penalties and interest) in connection with our acquisition of Belpointe REIT. As a result of the Conversion of Belpointe REIT into BREIT, Belpointe REIT was deemed to have been liquidated and its tax year ended on October 1, 2021. Belpointe REIT’s deemed liquidation resulted in a taxable gain for the year ended October 1, 2021. In connection with the Conversion, we filed an extension for the time to file Belpointe REIT’s 2021 tax returns, however, we did not make an estimated payment at that time as we had not yet calculated Belpointe REIT’s 2021 tax liability.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the share of earnings generated in entities we consolidate in which we do not own 100% of the equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase primarily relates to losses allocated to noncontrolling interest holders on our CMC and 900 8th Avenue South investments based upon an allocation of each investment’s net assets at book value as if the investments were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, including construction and development costs, pay our offering and operating fees and expenses, pay any distributions that we make to the holders of our units and pay interest on any outstanding indebtedness that we incur.

Our offering and operating fees and expenses include, among other things, legal, audit and valuation fees and expenses, federal and state filing fees, SEC, FINRA and NYSE American filing fees, printing expenses, administrative fees, transfer agent fees, marketing and distribution fees, the management fee that we pay to our Manager, and fees and expenses related to acquiring, financing, appraising, and managing our commercial real estate properties. We do not have office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees.

Where our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have funded, and in the future if they continue to fund, our liquidity and capital resource needs by advancing us offering and operating fees and expenses, we reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of our management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement. Fees payable and expenses reimbursable to our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, may be paid, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class A Units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing. There were no organization or Primary Offering costs incurred by our Manager and its affiliates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred organization and Primary Offering expenses of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred operating expenses of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, on our behalf. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred operating expenses of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, on our behalf.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary entered into a construction management agreement for the redevelopment of 1991 Main. The construction management agreement contains terms and conditions that are customary for a project of this type and will be subject to guaranteed maximum price. As of September 30, 2022, we had an unfunded capital commitment of $155.3 million under the terms of this agreement. We currently anticipate that the remaining funding for construction and soft costs associated with the redevelopment will be a minimum of $228.7 million.

We expect to obtain the liquidity and capital resources that we need over the short and long-term from the proceeds of our Primary Offering and any future offerings that we may conduct, from the advancement of reimbursable fees and expenses by our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from operations. For additional details regarding our Primary Offering, see “Part II—Other Information, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Use of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities.”

We currently anticipate that our available capital resources, including the proceeds from our Primary Offering and the proceeds from any construction or other loans that we may incur, when combined with cash flow generated from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months and beyond.

Leverage

We employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. We believe that careful use of conservatively structured leverage will help us to achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments.

Our targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the Company level or on assets under development or redevelopment, after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized commercial real estate, is between 50-70% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, developing and redeveloping our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. An example of property-level leverage is a mortgage loan secured by an individual property or portfolio of properties incurred or assumed in connection with our acquisition of such property or portfolio of properties. An example of debt at the Company level is a line of credit obtained by us or our Operating Companies.

Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors. There is no limit on the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual property or portfolio.

Cash Flows

The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (amounts in thousands):

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled approximately $140.9 million and $23.9 million, respectively.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relates to the payment of management fees and employee cost sharing expenses as well as payments for legal, marketing, and accounting fees. These outflows were partially offset by interest received on our Norpointe Loan, QOZB Loan and CMC Loan during the period. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to operating properties acquired.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 relate primarily to funding of loans receivable in addition to funding costs for our development properties and investments in real estate. These outflows were partially offset by inflows from the repayment of the CMC Loan during the period as well as cash acquired as part of the acquisition of CMC (Note 4). Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to four properties acquired during the period, costs paid for our development properties and the funding of a loan receivable, all of which were offset by cash acquired in connection with the Offer.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relates to net proceeds received from the Primary Offering partially offset by the repayment of the Acquisition Loan. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 relates to Secured Notes funded by Belpointe REIT.

Critical Accounting Policies

The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to those disclosed in “Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “Annual Report”), a copy of which may be accessed here.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and as a result are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective controls system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2022, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were subject to any material legal proceedings nor were we aware of any material legal proceedings threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, a copy of which may be accessed here. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report and be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Securities

As of September 30, 2022, we have not sold any other equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities

On September 30, 2021, the Registration Statement covering our Primary Offering of up to $750,000,000 of Class A units was declared effective by the SEC. We set our initial offering price at $100.00 per Class A unit. No later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end, and every quarter thereafter, we plan to calculate our net asset value (“NAV”) within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases below the price per Class A unit as stated in our prospectus we will adjust the offering price effective as of the first business day following its public announcement. The adjusted offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded to the nearest dollar) divided by the number of Class A units outstanding on the Determination Date.

Our Board, taking into consideration factors such as the investments we hold and the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, may determine that it is appropriate for us to begin calculating NAV on a quarterly basis prior to the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end. We will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC if we determine to calculate NAV prior to the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end and prospectus supplements disclosing quarterly determinations of our NAV per Class A unit for each fiscal quarter thereafter. If a material event occurs in between quarterly updates of NAV that would cause our NAV to change by 10% or more from the most recently disclosed NAV, we will disclose the updated price and the reason for the change in prospectus supplement as promptly as reasonably practicable.

From the period of October 7, 2021, the date of the first closing held in connection with our Primary Offering, through December 31, 2021, we issued 2,132,039 Class A units in our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $212.6 million. For the nine months ending September 30, 2022, we issued 72,300 Class A units in connection with our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $6.6 million. Together with the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REIT’s prior offerings, as of September 30, 2022, we have raised aggregate gross offering cash proceeds of $339.4 million.

The following tables summarize certain information about the Primary Offering proceeds and our use of proceeds, including direct or indirect payments to our directors, officers, affiliates or to any person owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities as of September 30, 2022:
