NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

Note A — Organization and Business Operations

Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (formerly known as Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III or “FWAC”) is a Maryland corporation. The Company focuses on acquiring, owning and leasing parking facilities and related infrastructure, including parking lots, parking garages and other parking structures throughout the United States. The Company targets both parking garage and surface lot properties primarily in the top 50 U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas, with proximity to key demand drivers, such as commerce, events and venues, government and institutions, hospitality and multifamily central business districts. As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned 43 parking facilities in 21 separate markets throughout the United States, with a total of 15,676 parking spaces and approximately 5.4 million square feet. The Company also owns approximately 0.2 million square feet of retail/commercial space adjacent to its parking facilities.

FWAC was a blank check, Cayman Islands exempted company, incorporated on February 19, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more business entities.

On August 25, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among FWAC, Queen Merger Corp. I, a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FWAC, and Legacy MIC. As part of the Merger, FWAC was converted to a Maryland corporation and changed its name to Mobile Infrastructure Corporation. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “MIC,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Mobile Infrastructure Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Merger and to Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (f/k/a Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III) and its consolidated subsidiaries following the closing of the Merger, as the context requires. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Legacy MIC” refer to Mobile Infrastructure Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Merger. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “FWAC” refer to Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III.

In connection with the Merger, Mobile Infra Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), converted from a Maryland limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company, Mobile Infra Operating Company, LLC (following the conversion, the “Operating Company”). In connection with the conversion, each outstanding unit of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership was converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into an equal number of identical membership units of the Operating Company. The Company is a member of the Operating Company and owns substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Company. The Operating Company is managed by a board of directors, one appointed by the Company and one appointed by the other members of the Operating Company. Currently, the two directors of the Operating Company are Manuel Chavez, III, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Stephanie Hogue, our President, Chief Financial Officer and a director. The Company owns approximately 51.8% of the common units of the Operating Company (“OP Units” or “Common Units”). Color Up, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Color Up”) and HSCP Strategic III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“HS3”), are also members of the Operating Company and own approximately 38.8% and 9.4%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units. Color Up is our largest stockholder and is controlled by Mr. Chavez, Ms. Hogue and, Jeffrey Osher, a director of the Company. HS3 is controlled by Mr. Osher.

The Company is publicly traded on the NYSE American under the ticker “BEEP.” As a result of the Merger:

Additionally, on June 15, 2023, HS3, Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. and Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd., entities controlled by Mr. Osher, and Bombe-MIC Pref, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Chavez and of which Ms. Hogue is a member, (collectively, the “Preferred PIPE Investors”), each entered into a Preferred Subscription Agreement with FWAC pursuant to which, among other things, the Preferred PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and FWAC agreed to issue and sell to the Preferred PIPE Investors, a total of 46,000 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series 2 Preferred Stock”), at $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $46 million (the “Preferred PIPE Financing”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Preferred Subscription Agreement, upon the earlier of a change of control of the Company or December 31, 2023, the Series 2 Preferred Stock will convert into approximately 13,787,462 shares of our common stock inclusive of 1,253,404 shares of our common stock issuable as dividends to the Preferred PIPE Investors.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger and Retroactive Equity Application

Legacy MIC determined that it was the accounting acquirer in the Merger based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The identification of Legacy MIC as the accounting acquirer was based primarily on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

Under this method of accounting, FWAC was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Legacy MIC issuing stock for the net assets of FWAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of FWAC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger are those of Legacy MIC.

In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been retroactively restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the exchange ratio of 1.5 established in the Merger.

Note B — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC, and in conjunction with rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For a full summary of our accounting policies, refer to Legacy MIC’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K as originally filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception and anticipates net losses in the near future, and the Company has approximately $64.1 million of debt which will mature within one year. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity to repay the maturing debt as it becomes due. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In response, the Company is currently pursuing extensions and amendments on the maturing debt. However, our plan is subject to market conditions and not within our control. As a result, management’s plans cannot be considered probable and thus do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Company (previously, the Operating Partnership), each of their wholly owned subsidiaries, and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. For entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), the Company consolidates those entities when the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it possesses both the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates whether it qualifies as the primary beneficiary and reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE upon reconsideration events. All intercompany activity is eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the portion of equity that we do not own in the entities we consolidate.  Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interest in our Consolidated Statements of Operations represents our partners’ share of net income or loss that is generally allocated on a pro-rata basis based on ownership percentage.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding stock-based compensation, equity valuations, asset impairment and purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, as applicable.

Concentration

The Company had sixteen and fifteen parking tenant-operators during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. One tenant/operator, SP + Corporation (Nasdaq: SP) (“SP+”), represented 61.6% and 60.5% of the Company’s revenue, excluding commercial revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Premier Parking Service, LLC represented 11.9% and 12.6% of the Company’s revenue, excluding commercial revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In addition, the Company had concentrations in Cincinnati (19.4% and 19.2%), Detroit (10.3% and 12.5%), Chicago (9.1% and 8.7%), and Houston (8.1% and 7.8%) based on gross book value of real estate as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 64.1% and 59.2% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable balance, respectively, was with SP+.

Acquisitions

All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition of real estate accounted for as a business combination are measured at their acquisition date fair values. For acquisitions of real estate accounted for as an asset acquisition, the fair value of consideration transferred by the Company (including transaction costs) is allocated to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis.

In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company will utilize several sources, including independent third-party valuations that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company will also consider information obtained about each property as a result of the Company’s pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on valuations performed by independent third parties or on the Company’s analysis of comparable properties in the Company’s portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable. The aggregate value of intangible assets related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered by the Company in its analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company will include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period. Estimates of costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses are also utilized.

The value of lease intangibles is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining term of the respective lease. If a tenant terminates its lease with us, the unamortized portion of any lease intangible is recognized over the shortened lease term.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

On a quarterly basis, we employ a multi-step approach to assess our real estate assets for possible impairment and record any impairment charges identified. The first step is the identification of potential triggering events, such as declines in net operating income (“NOI”) and performance compared to internal forecasts. If the results of this first step indicate a triggering event for a property, we proceed to the second step, utilizing an undiscounted cash flow model to identify potential impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the net book value of the property as of the balance sheet date, we record an impairment charge based on the fair value determined in the third step. In performing the third step, we utilize market data such as capitalization rates and sales price per stall on comparable recent real estate transactions to estimate the fair value of the real estate assets. We also utilize expected net sales proceeds to estimate the fair value of any centers that are actively being marketed for sale.

See Note M for additional discussion regarding impairment of long-lived assets.

Immaterial Correction

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified certain errors impacting our first and second quarter filings of 2022.  A summary of such errors is outlined in the table below and includes errors related to the cut-off and classification of accruals, cash, prepaids and expenses, accounting and record keeping for tenant billings and deposits, accounting related to interest expense, elimination of intercompany receivables and payables, and corrections related to the calculation of noncontrolling interest.

Reportable Segments

Our principal business is the ownership and operation of parking facilities. We do not distinguish our principal business, or group our operations, by geography or size for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, we have presented our results as a single reportable segment.

Equity Compensation

Equity compensation is based on the grant date fair value of the equity awards and is recognized as general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the requisite service or performance period. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Certain equity awards are subject to vesting based upon the satisfaction of various service, market, or performance conditions.

Note C – Reverse Recapitalization

As described in Note A, the Merger closed on August 25, 2023. In connection with the Merger:

Following the completion of the Merger, the Company had the following outstanding securities:

Following the completion of the Merger and after giving effect to the cashless conversion of 638,298 Class A Units into 156,138 Common Units by HS3 on August 29, 2023, the Operating Company had the following outstanding securities:

The following table reconciles the elements of the Merger to the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholder's equity/(deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

1,900,000 FWAC Class B Shares that converted to the Company’s common stock are subject to an earn-out structure (the “Earn-Out Shares”) under terms outlined in the Second Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement. The Earn-Out Shares vest if certain milestones related to share price are achieved as further described in Footnote H. Because the shares have voting rights but have contingent vesting conditions, we have included the shares as issued but not outstanding on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of the Earn-Out Shares was recorded as approximately $5.8 million as of the Closing Date and is presented as earnout liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We will estimate the fair value of this liability at each reporting date during the contingency period and record any changes to our Consolidated Statement of Operations. See footnote M for additional fair value discussion. We allocated $0.9 million of offering costs to the Earn-Out Shares, which was recorded as part of Organization, Offering, and Other Costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As part of accounting for the reverse recapitalization, we evaluated the Series 2 Preferred Stock arrangement using the guidance in ASC 820 and 480. We determined the fair value of the Series 2 Preferred Stock, including the dividends to be paid-in-kind, was $66.7 million ($4.84 per share) at the time of the transaction. We compared the fair value to the implied conversion rate based on a total of 13,787,464 shares of common stock being issued and $4.6 million of dividends paid in kind in return for $46 million in proceeds. As a result, the excess in fair value was treated as non-cash compensation and was recorded as Preferred Series 2 issuance expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note D – Acquisitions and Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate

2023

On February 28, 2023, the Company sold a parking lot located in Wildwood, New Jersey for $1.5 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of approximately $0.7 million. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million after the repayment of the outstanding mortgage loan, interest and transaction costs.

2022

In June 2022, the Company acquired a 555-space garage located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for $17.5 million.

Note E - Intangible Assets

Amortization of the in-place lease value, lease commissions and acquired technology are included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense associated with intangible assets totaled approximately $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and approximately $0.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

A schedule of future amortization of acquired intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and thereafter is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note F — Notes Payable 

As of September 30, 2023, the principal balances on notes payable are as follows (dollars in thousands):

* 2 Year Interest Only

** 10 Year Interest Only

I/O - Interest Only

On September 6, 2023, the Company paid five notes in full with Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. in the amount of approximately $9.9 million. The notes had matured on August 25, 2023 and were secured by five properties.

Reserve funds are generally required for repairs and replacements, real estate taxes, and insurance premiums.  Some notes contain various terms and conditions including debt service coverage ratios and debt yield limits. As of September 30, 2023, borrowers for two of the Company’s loans totaling $38.5 million, failed to meet certain loan covenants. As a result, we are subject to additional cash management procedures, which resulted in approximately $0.5 million of restricted cash as of  September 30, 2023. In order to exit cash management, certain debt service coverage ratios or debt yield tests must be exceeded for two consecutive quarters to return to less restrictive cash management procedures. 

As of September 30, 2023, future principal payments on notes payable are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note G - Revolving Credit Facility and Interest Rate Cap

On  March 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank Capital Markets, as lead arranger, and KeyBank, National Association, as administrative agent.  The Credit Agreement refinanced the Company’s then-current loan agreements for certain properties. The Credit Agreement provided for, among other things, a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, originally maturing on  April 1, 2023 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) benchmark rate or Alternate Base Rate, plus a margin of between 1.75% and 3.00%, with respect to SOFR loans, or 0.75% to 2.00%, with respect to base rate loans, based on the Company’s leverage ratio as calculated under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is secured by a pool of properties and requires compliance with certain financial covenants. The Credit Agreement also included financial covenants that required the Company to (i) maintain a total leverage ratio not to exceed 65.0%, (ii) not to exceed certain fixed charge coverage ratios, and (iii) maintain a certain tangible net worth.

During 2022, the Company drew $73.7 million on the Revolving Credit Facility to pay-off certain mortgage loans and fund an acquisition of a single garage.

On  November 17, 2022, the Company executed an amendment to the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to  April 1, 2024, amended certain financial covenants through the new term, and added a requirement for the Company to use diligent efforts to pursue an equity raise or liquidity event by March 31, 2023. On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement which reduced the total commitment from $75 million to $58.7 million, required the Company to remit $15 million of the proceeds from the Preferred PIPE Investment to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, removed the fixed charge coverage ratio, required a borrowing base interest coverage ratio, required the Company maintain at least $7 million in unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, required contribution of certain real property as collateral, increased the debt pool yield, and established a reserve for certain cash collateral to be used for interest payments. Concurrent with the paydown of $15 million, $0.1 million of unamortized loan fees were written off to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2023, the balance of unamortized loan fees associated with the Revolving Credit Facility is $0.3 million which is being amortized to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining term.

In August 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with KeyBank with an initial value of approximately $0.2 million and a maturity on April 1, 2024. The arrangement was for a notional amount of $58.7 million and limited the SOFR to a rate of 4.90%. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to this interest rate cap to manage interest rate exposure. The principal objective of this arrangement is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our financial structure, which are in part determined by interest rates. We have elected not to use hedge accounting due to the short-term duration of the arrangement and, as such, will reflect changes in fair value of the arrangement within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in the fair value of the interest rate cap from inception through September 30, 2023 was immaterial.

Note H - Equity

Prior to the Merger, Legacy MIC had two classes of capital stock outstanding: common stock and preferred stock. Following the Merger, the Company retains two classes of capital stock authorized for issuance under its Charter: 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 97,000 are designated as shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, 50,000 are designated as shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 60,000 are designated as shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock.

By virtue of the consummation of the Merger, the Sponsor owns 1,900,000 Earnout Shares subject to vesting restrictions and forfeiture under the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, as follows: (a) 950,000 Earnout Shares will vest at such time as the aggregate volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock for any 5-consecutive trading day period after the Closing Date equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (provided that such shares will be cancelled if not vested prior to December 31, 2026) and (b) 950,000 Earnout Shares will vest at such time as the aggregate volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock for any 5-consecutive trading day period after the Closing Date equals or exceeds $16.00 per share (provided that such shares will be cancelled if they have not vested prior to December 31, 2028). The Earnout Shares are classified as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as certain settlement provisions within the agreement can affect the settlement value of the shares.

The following summarizes the terms of the Company’s preferred stock and warrants.

As described in Note A above, each issued and outstanding share of Legacy MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock and Legacy MIC Series A Preferred Stock converted into the right to receive one share of Series 1 Preferred Stock or one share of Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, having terms materially the same as the applicable Legacy MIC Preferred Stock, except that the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of our common stock instead of shares of Legacy MIC common stock.

Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock provide that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share at an annual rate of 7.50% of the stated value pari passu with the dividend preference of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and in preference to any payment of any dividend on our common stock until the occurrence of a Listing Event, at which time, the annual dividend rate was reduced to 5.75% on the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The closing of the Merger and the listing of our common stock on the NYSE American constituted a Listing Event under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.

On March 24, 2020, the Board of Directors unanimously authorized the suspension of the payment of distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock; however, such distributions will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. Since initial issuance, the Company had declared distributions of approximately $1.4 million of which approximately $0.6 million had been paid to Series A stockholders. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million of Series A Preferred Stock distributions that were accrued and unpaid, respectively, are included in accrued preferred distributions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series 1 Preferred Stock provide that the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share at an annual rate of 7.00% of the stated value pari passu with the dividend preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and in preference to any payment of any dividend on our common stock until the occurrence of a Listing Event, at which time, the annual dividend rate was reduced to 5.50% on the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Stock. The closing of the Merger and the listing of our common stock on the NYSE American constituted a Listing Event under the terms of the Series 1 Preferred Stock.

On March 24, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously authorized the suspension of the payment of distributions on the Series 1 Preferred Stock, however, such distributions will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Preferred Stock. Since initial issuance, the Company had declared distributions of approximately $16.3 million of which approximately $6.4 million had been paid to Series 1 Preferred Stock stockholders. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $9.9 million and $7.9 million of Series 1 Preferred Stock distributions that were accrued and unpaid, respectively, are included in accrued preferred distributions on the consolidated balance sheet.

Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 15, 2023, the Preferred PIPE Investors each entered into a Preferred Subscription Agreement with FWAC pursuant to which, among other things, the Preferred PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and FWAC agreed to issue and sell to the Preferred PIPE Investors, a total of 46,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $46,000,000, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

On the earlier of (a) a change of control of MIC and (b) December 31, 2023, the Series 2 Preferred Stock will convert into 12,534,058 shares of our common stock. The Series 2 Preferred Stock is entitled to receive dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10% during the period between the initial issuance of such shares and the conversion thereof into shares of our common stock; provided that if the date of distribution occurs prior to the first anniversary of the original date of issuance of such share, the holder of such share of Series 2 Preferred Stock shall receive dividends at a cumulative annual rate of 10% of the $1,000.00 per share liquidation preference for a period of one year, and will be paid in full on the conversion date. Dividends will be paid in kind and also convert into shares of our common stock on the earlier of (a) a change of control of MIC and (b) December 31, 2023. The Series 2 Preferred Stock converts at a conversion price of $3.67 per share of common stock, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Series 2 Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Charter. Accordingly, the aggregate of 46,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock is expected to convert into a total of 13,787,462 shares of our common stock, which number is comprised of (i) 12,534,058 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of 46,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred Stock based on the stated value of such shares and (ii) 1,253,404 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the dividends. Because the terms and amount of the dividend are contractually agreed upon, at the time of the Merger we recorded the full $4.6 million value of the paid in kind dividend.

Warrants

In accordance with its warrant agreement between Legacy MIC and Color Up, dated August 25, 2021 (the “Warrant Agreement”), Color Up had the right to purchase up to 1,702,128 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $11.75 per share for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $20.0 million (the “Common Stock Warrants”). Each whole Common Stock Warrant entitled the registered holder thereof to purchase one whole share of common stock at a price of $11.75 per share, subject to customary adjustments, at any time following a “Liquidity Event,” which was defined as an initial public offering and/or listing of the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock Exchange.

As of the Closing Date, FWAC, Legacy MIC, and Color Up entered into a Warrant Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “Warrant Assumption and Amendment Agreement”) to the Warrant Agreement, whereby the Company assumed the Common Stock Warrants remaining outstanding and unexpired at that time, and such Common Stock Warrants became the common stock warrants of the Company. Subsequent to the Closing date, on August 29, 2023, New MIC and Color Up entered into an Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement (the “Amended Warrant Agreement”), pursuant to which the Warrant Agreement was amended and restated to (i) reflect the effects of the Merger (including but not limited to the reduction in the exercise price of the Common Stock Warrants from $11.75 to $7.83 per share and the increase in the number of the underlying shares from 1,702,128 shares of Legacy MIC common stock to 2,553,192 shares of our common stock) and (ii) permit Color Up to exercise the Common Stock Warrants on a cashless basis at Color Up’s option.

The Common Stock Warrants expire on August 25, 2026 and are classified as equity and recorded at the issuance date fair value.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On November 2, 2021, Legacy MIC entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership, and HS3, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership issued and sold to HS3 (a) 1,702,128 newly issued OP Units; and (b) 425,532 newly-issued Class A units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class A Units”) which entitle HS3 to purchase up to 425,532 additional OP Units (the “Additional OP Units”) at an exercise price equal to $11.75 per Additional OP Unit, subject to adjustment as provided in the Class A Unit agreement, and HS3 paid to the Operating Partnership cash consideration of $20.0 million. The Additional OP Units are available to be exercised only upon completion of a Liquidity Event, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Merger, the number of Class A Units was adjusted to 638,298 and the exercise price for the Class A Units was adjusted to $7.83 per Class A Unit. The Common Units generally may be redeemed by the holder thereof for cash or, at the option of the Company, for shares of common stock. Such securities were issued in a private placement transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. On August 29, 2023, the Operating Company issued 156,138 Common Units to HS3 upon the cashless exercise of 638,298 Class A Units based upon a fair market value of $10.37 per Common Unit.

Convertible Noncontrolling Interests

As of September 30, 2023, the Operating Company had approximately 27.0 million Common Units outstanding, excluding any equity incentive units granted. Beginning six months after first acquiring Common Units, each member will have the right to redeem the Common Units for either cash or common stock, subject to both the Company's discretion and the terms and conditions set forth in the limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company (the “Operating Agreement”).

The Common Units outstanding as of September 30, 2023 are classified as noncontrolling interests within permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note I — Equity Compensation

On February 28, 2023, Mr. Chavez and Ms. Hogue were granted 81,301 and 50,813 LTIP Units, respectively, in lieu of their 2022 target annual bonus. Of these awards granted to Mr. Chavez and Ms. Hogue, 13,550 and 10,163 LTIP Units vested immediately, with the remaining scheduled to vest over a three-year period.  The grant date fair value was determined to be $13.48 per unit for each of the LTIP Units awarded. Additionally, the non-management members of the Board of Directors were granted 26,082 LTIP Units in lieu of their 2022 compensation.  The Director’s LTIP Units will vest over a three-year period, with the exception of immediate vesting for LTIP Units granted to Shawn Nelson, a former director who retired from the Board effective December 31, 2022.  The grant date fair value was determined to be $14.76 per unit for each of the LTIP Units awarded to the non-management members of the Board.

In connection with Closing, 255,320 and 153,192 LTIP Units granted on August 23, 2022 to Mr. Chavez and Ms. Hogue, respectively, were achieved upon the occurrence of a liquidity event. These awards, which were previously deemed not probable of achievement, require one year of continued service. The grant date fair value per unit for each of the LTIP Units awarded was determined to be $10.00. On September 9, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors approved the cancellation of 116,170 and 19,149 LTIP Units previously granted to Mr. Chavez and Ms. Hogue, respectively. The expense associated with the cancellation of the LTIP Units of approximately $1.4 million is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $4.0 million in non-cash amortization of equity awards, respectively, excluding the LTIP cancellation expense. Amortization expense of $1.1 million and $1.5 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.  As of September 30, 2023 there was $16.3 million of unrecognized non-cash amortization, including $11.6 million for LTIP Units and Performance LTIP Units (“PUs”) granted in 2022 which vest after the Closing upon the achievement of certain performance measures, which are considered not probable. 

The following table sets forth a roll forward of all incentive equity awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Note J - Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per weighted average common share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The Company includes the effect of participating securities in basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings when the two-class method is more dilutive than the treasury stock method. Outstanding warrants were antidilutive as a result of the net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and therefore were excluded from the dilutive calculation. The Company includes unvested PUs as contingently issuable shares in the computation of diluted EPS once the market criteria is met, assuming that the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period. The Company had 2.7 million unvested service-and performance-based awards which are considered antidilutive to the dilutive loss per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note K – Variable Interest Entities

The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Company, owns a 51.0% beneficial interest in MVP St. Louis Cardinal Lot, DST, a Delaware Statutory Trust (“MVP St. Louis”). MVP St. Louis is the owner of a 2.56-acre, 376-vehicle commercial parking lot, known as the Cardinal Lot.

MVP St. Louis is considered VIE and the Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of MVP St. Louis was held by MVP Parking DST, LLC (the “Manager”) and certain subsidiaries of the Manager, which is controlled by Mr. Chavez.

As a result, the Company consolidates its investment in MVP St. Louis and MVP St. Louis Cardinal Lot Master Tenant, LLC, which had total assets of approximately $12.0 million (substantially all real estate investments) and liabilities of approximately $6.1 million (substantially all mortgage debt) as of September 30, 2023.

Note L - Income Taxes

Legacy MIC previously elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and operated in a manner that allowed Legacy MIC to qualify as a REIT through  December 31, 2019.  As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Legacy MIC earned management income in lieu of lease income from a number of distressed tenants, which did not constitute qualifying REIT income for purposes of the annual REIT gross income tests, and, as a result, Legacy MIC was not in compliance with the annual REIT income tests for the year ended  December 31, 2020. Accordingly, Legacy MIC did not qualify for taxation as a REIT in 2020 and the Company continues to be taxed as a C corporation. As a C corporation, the Company is subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.

A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was historically provided each year since the Company believed that as a REIT it was more likely than not that it would not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets.  As a taxable C Corporation, the Company has evaluated its deferred tax assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which consist primarily of net operating losses and its investment in the Operating Company. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended September 30, 2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth. Despite substantial growth in property-level operations, the Company has continued to generate a net loss and as such the Company has determined that it will continue to record a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. A change in circumstances may cause the Company to change its judgment about whether deferred tax assets should be recorded, and further whether any such assets would more likely than not be realized. The Company would generally report any change in the valuation allowance through its Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which such changes in circumstances occur.

Note M — Fair Value

A fair value measurement is based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable.

Level 3 – Model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt (including notes payable and the Revolving Credit Facility) was derived using Level 2 inputs and approximate $180.9 million and $207.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Recurring and Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Our Earn-out Shares and interest rate cap are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, while certain real estate assets and liabilities are measured and recognized at fair value as needed. Fair value measurements that occurred as of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
