The combined consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 present the Company’s results of operations prior to the spin-off transaction on October 6, 2022, which represents a carve-out of operations attributable to the Company related to Bluerock Residential’s single-family residential home business. As a result, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 may not be comparable to the Company’s results of operations for the prior period presented.

BLUEROCK HOMES TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “Bluerock Homes”) was formed in Maryland as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc (“Bluerock Residential”) on December 16, 2021, and historically operated as part of Bluerock Residential and not as a standalone company. On October 6, 2022, Bluerock Residential completed a spin-off transaction that resulted in its single-family residential real estate business and certain other assets being contributed to Bluerock Homes, and Bluerock Homes becoming an independent, publicly traded company. Financial statements for the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022 have been derived from Bluerock Residential's historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included in the financial statements. The financial statements for the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022 also include general and administrative expenses that have been allocated to the Company from Bluerock Residential based on relative unit count. These allocated expenses are for corporate office expenses and management including, but not limited to, executive oversight, asset management, treasury, finance, human resources, tax, accounting, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. However, amounts recognized by the Company are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in these financial statements had the Company operated independently of Bluerock Residential. Any references to “the Company” for all periods ended October 6, 2022 and prior refer to Bluerock Homes as owned by Bluerock Residential.
The Company owns and operates high-quality single-family properties located in attractive markets with a focus on the knowledge-economy and high-quality of life growth markets of the Sunbelt and Western United States. The Company’s principal objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns on investments where it believes it can drive growth in funds from operations and net asset value by acquiring pre-existing single-family residential homes, developing build-to-rent communities, and through Value-Add renovations. The Company’s Value-Add strategy focuses on repositioning lower-quality, less current assets to drive rent growth and expand margins to increase net operating income and maximize the Company’s return on investment.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company held an aggregate of 4,160 residential units held through seventeen real estate investments, consisting of ten consolidated operating investments and seven investments held through preferred equity investments. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 94.5 % occupied.
The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2022 upon the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate-level income taxes. To qualify and maintain its REIT status, the Company will be required, among other requirements, to distribute annually at least 90 % of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the Company’s stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify and maintain its qualification as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and it would not be permitted to qualify as a REIT for four years following the year in which its qualification was denied. The Company intends to organize and operate in such a manner that it would qualify and remain qualified as a REIT.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company conducts its operations through Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., its operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which it is the sole general partner. The combined consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 67.32 % of the common units of the Operating Partnership ( 62.67 % is held by holders of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) and 4.65 % is held by holders of the Operating Partnership’s long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”), including 3.45 % which are not vested at March 31, 2023).

Table of Contents
The combined consolidated financial statements include certain prior period reclassifications made by the Company to reflect the Operating Partnership unitholders’ approximately 66 % ownership in the Company following the spin-off transaction. Reclassifications to net loss on the combined consolidated statements of operations, along with reclassifications to stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interest for Operating Partnership unitholders on the combined consolidated balances sheets and statements of stockholders’ equity, were made for the period ending and prior to October 6, 2022.
Real Estate Investments and Preferred Equity Investments
The Company first analyzes an investment to determine if it is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810: Consolidation and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation of the entity. A VIE is an entity that has (i) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests in a VIE that change in value with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company continuously re-assesses at each level of the investment whether (i) the entity is a VIE, and (ii) the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it was determined that an entity in which the Company holds an interest qualified as a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary, the entity would be consolidated.
If, after consideration of the VIE accounting literature, the Company has determined that an entity is not a VIE, the Company assesses the need for consolidation under all other provisions of ASC 810. These provisions provide for consolidation of majority-owned entities through a majority voting interest held by the Company providing control.
In assessing whether the Company is in control of and requiring consolidation of the limited liability company and partnership venture structures, the Company evaluates the respective rights and privileges afforded each member or partner (collectively referred to as “member”). The Company’s member would not be deemed to control the entity if any of the other members has either (i) substantive kickout rights providing the ability to dissolve (liquidate) the entity or otherwise remove the managing member or general partner without cause or (ii) substantive participating rights in the entity. Substantive participating rights (whether granted by contract or law) provide for the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions of the entity that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business.
The Company analyzes each investment that involves real estate acquisition, development, and construction to consider whether the investment qualifies as an investment in a real estate acquisition, development, and construction arrangement. The Company has evaluated its real estate investments as required by ASC 310-10 Receivables and concluded that no investments are considered an investment in a real estate acquisition, development, or construction arrangement. As such, the Company next evaluates if these investments are considered a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities .
For investments that meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities , the Company classifies each preferred equity investment as a held-to-maturity debt security as the Company has the intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity. The Company earns a fixed return on these investments which is included within preferred returns on unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in its combined consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the collectability of each preferred equity investment and estimates a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses. The Company accounts for these investments as preferred equity investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in its combined consolidated balance sheets.
For investments that do not meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities , the Company has concluded that the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate. The Company recognizes interest income on its notes receivable on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected. Costs incurred to originate its notes receivable are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related notes receivable. The Company evaluates the collectability of each loan investment and estimates a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the CECL section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses. The Company did not have any loan investments at March 31, 2023.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The COVID-19 Pandemic and Uncertainty Due to Economic Volatility
The Company’s results of operations in the future may be directly or indirectly affected by uncertainties such as the effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic or inflation and related volatility in the market. State, local and federal entities imposed various temporary restrictions on eviction, late fees, and rent prices as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many of those temporary restrictions have ended, the Company continues to monitor policies related to these restrictions to reduce the consequences of such policies on the Company’s financial condition. If conditions similar to those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic were to reoccur, such conditions and any resulting macro-economic changes could have material and adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, inflation accelerated rapidly in 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s operating costs, including utilities and payroll, may increase as a result of increases in inflation. The Federal Reserve has continued to increase interest rates to curb the effects of rising inflation. Rising interest rates cause uncertainty in credit and capital markets which could have material and adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 and economic volatility on all aspects of its business.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2023 for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no material changes to these policies.
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited combined consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not include all the information and notes or disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of the operating results for a full year.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited combined consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 permit entities to elect certain optional expedients in connection with reference rate reform activities and their impact on debt, contract modifications and derivative instruments as it is expected the global market will transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are effective immediately, though as the sunset date of Topic 848 was deferred through the issuance of ASU No. 2022-06, such amendments may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur through December 31, 2024. The Company has not elected the optional expedients, though it continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

Table of Contents
Current Expected Credit Losses
The Company estimates provision for credit losses on its loans (notes receivable) and preferred equity investments under CECL. This method is based on expected credit losses for the life of the investment as of each balance sheet date. The method for calculating the estimate of expected credit loss considers historical experience and current conditions for similar loans and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future.
The Company estimates its provision for credit losses using a collective (pool) approach for investments with similar risk characteristics, such as collateral and duration of investment. In measuring the CECL provision for investments that share similar characteristics, the Company applies a default rate to the investments for the remaining loan or preferred equity investment hold period. As the Company does not have a significant historical population of loss data on its loan and preferred equity investments, the Company’s default rate utilized for CECL is based on an external historical loss rate for commercial real estate loans.
In addition to analyzing investments as a pool, the Company performs an individual investment assessment of expected credit losses. If it is determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, or a foreclosure is probable, or the Company expects repayment through the sale of the collateral, the Company calculates expected credit losses based on the value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date. During this review process, if the Company determines that it is probable that it will not be able to collect all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual terms of an investment, that loan or preferred equity investment is not considered fully recoverable and a provision for credit loss is recorded.
In estimating the value of the underlying collateral when determining if a loan or preferred equity investment is fully recoverable, the Company evaluates estimated future cash flows to be generated from the collateral underlying the investment. The inputs and assumptions utilized to estimate the future cash flows of the underlying collateral are based upon the Company’s evaluation of the operating results, economy, market trends, and other factors, including judgments regarding costs to complete any construction activities, lease-up and occupancy rates, rental rates, and capitalization rates utilized to estimate the projected cash flows at the disposition. The Company may also obtain a third-party valuation which may value the collateral through an “as-is” or “stabilized value” methodology. If upon completion of the valuation the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the investment is less than the net carrying value, the Company records a provision for credit loss on that loan or preferred equity investment. As the investment no longer displays the characteristics that are similar to those of the pool of loans or preferred equity investments, the investment is removed from the CECL collective (pool) analysis described above.
Note 3 – Investments in Real Estate
As of March 31, 2023, the Company held seventeen real estate investments, consisting of ten consolidated operating investments and seven investments held through preferred equity investments.

Peak Housing Interests
On March 3, 2023, the Company’s agreement with the operating partnership of Peak REIT OP regarding its total preferred equity investment was amended. Previously, the Company earned a 7.0 % current return and a 3.0 % accrued return, for a total preferred return of 10.0 % per annum, on $ 16.0 million of its investment. On the Company’s remaining $ 4.3 million investment, it earned a 4.0 % current return and a 4.0 % accrued return, for a total preferred return of 8.0 % per annum. On the Company’s total $ 20.3 million investment, it earned a total weighted average preferred return of 9.6 % per annum. As part of the amendment, the Company’s two tranches of preferred equity investments were combined into one $ 20.3 million preferred equity investment earning a 6.4 % current return and a 3.2 % accrued return, for a total preferred return of 9.6 % per annum. In addition, the amendment increased the collateral underlying the Company’s preferred equity investment from 474 units to 648 units. Peak REIT OP may sell the units collateralizing the Company’s preferred equity investment, though Peak REIT OP is required to distribute any net sale proceeds to the Company, after consideration for partnership operating expenses and reserve requirements, until the Company’s full preferred equity investment has been repaid in full, subject to certain rate of return requirements and including any accrued but unpaid preferred returns.
On March 9, 2023, the Company’s preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP was partially redeemed for $ 4.1 million, which included principal investment of $ 4.0 million and accrued preferred return of $ 0.1 million, leaving the Company’s remaining preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP at $ 16.3 million.

The mortgage loans encumbering the Company’s properties are nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which the Company would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, the Company or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses. The mortgage loans have a period where a prepayment fee or yield maintenance would be required.
Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
For financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, fair value is the price the Company would expect to receive to sell an asset, or pay to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date under current market conditions. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction.
18
Table of Contents
In determining fair value, observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions; preference is given to observable inputs. In accordance with GAAP and as defined in ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement, these two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
●
Level 1:
Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
●
Level 2:
Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable
●
Level 3:
Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable
If the inputs used to measure the fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to affiliates, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments are valued using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market-standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts which would occur if floating interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The floating interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The inputs used in the valuation of interest rate caps and swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Debt
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for similar liabilities, the fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is estimated at $ 94.1 million and $ 93.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying amounts, before adjustments for deferred financing costs, net, of $ 99.0 million and $ 99.5 million, respectively. The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated based on the Company’s current interest rates (Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy) for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate caps and swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from
19
Table of Contents
a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The Company has not designated any of the interest rate derivatives as hedges. Although these derivative financial instruments were not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting, the Company believes the derivative financial instruments are effective economic hedges against increases in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had interest rate caps and swaps which effectively limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $ 68.6 million of the Company’s debt.

Specifically, the Manager will be responsible for (i) the selection, purchase and sale of the Company’s portfolio investments, (ii) the Company’s financing activities, and (iii) providing the Company with advisory services, in each case in conformity with the investment guidelines and other policies approved and monitored by its Board. The initial term of the Management Agreement expires on October 6, 2023 and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term on each anniversary date thereafter unless earlier terminated or not renewed in accordance with the terms thereof.
The Company will pay the Manager a base management fee (the “base management fee”) in an amount equal to 1.50 % of the Company’s New Stockholders’ Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) per year, as well as an incentive fee (the “incentive fee”) with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) in arrears. The Company will also be required to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses and pay all operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement provides that (i) the base management fee and the incentive fee shall be allocated and payable as one half ( 50 %) in C-LTIP Units and the remainder payable in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board, and (ii) expense reimbursements shall be payable either in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board. The number of C-LTIP Units payable and issued to the Manager for the base management fee, the incentive fee and expense reimbursements will be equal to the dollar amount (of the portion deemed payable in C-LTIP Units) of the fees earned or reimbursement amount divided by the average of the closing prices of the Class A common stock for the five business days prior to issuance.

Administrative Services Agreement
Prior to the completion of the spin-off transaction on October 6, 2022, Bluerock Residential was party to an Administrative Services Agreement (the “ASA”) and a Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement (the “CSA”) with BRE and its affiliate, Bluerock Real Estate Holdings, LLC (together “BREH”). Pursuant to the ASA, BREH provided Bluerock Residential with certain human resources, investor relations, marketing, legal and other administrative services (the “Services”). In addition, the ASA permitted certain Bluerock Residential employees to provide services to BREH, on an at-cost basis, generally allocated based on the use of such services for the benefit of the business of BREH, and otherwise subject to the terms of the Services provided by BREH to Bluerock Residential under the ASA. Pursuant to the CSA, Bluerock Residential and BREH were allocated costs, including those costs associated with tenant improvements, with respect to the lease for their New York headquarters (the “NY Lease”). Payments by Bluerock Residential of any amounts payable to BREH under the ASA and CSA were made in cash or, at the discretion of its board of directors, in the form of Bluerock Residential’s long-term incentive plan units.
Pursuant to the terms of the ASA, operating expenses were (i) paid by BREH on behalf of Bluerock Residential, and (ii) paid by Bluerock Residential on behalf of BREH. Pursuant to the terms of the CSA, costs with respect to the NY Lease were paid by BREH on behalf of Bluerock Residential. Recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s combined consolidated statements of operations, operating expenses paid by BREH on behalf of Bluerock Residential of $ 0.2 million were expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, Bluerock Residential paid operating expenses on behalf of BREH of $ 0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. These prior period amounts were allocated to the Company by applying an allocation percentage, which was determined by taking the number of units carved out of the Bluerock Residential portfolio divided by Bluerock Residential’s total portfolio unit count, to the total operating expenses paid on behalf of or by Bluerock Residential. Prior period operating expense amounts recognized by the Company are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company operated independently of Bluerock Residential.
Both the ASA and CSA were terminated in connection with the completion of the spin-off transaction on October 6, 2022.
Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity
On October 6, 2022 (the “Distribution Date”), each of the Company’s stockholders received one share of the Company’s common stock for every eight shares of Bluerock Residential common stock held as of the close of business on September 29, 2022. An aggregate of 3,843,502 shares of the Company’s common stock was distributed to its stockholders, comprised of 3,835,013 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 8,489 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock. As the Company had no common stock outstanding prior to the Distribution Date, basic and diluted earnings per share for all prior periods have been calculated based on the aggregate of 3,843,502 shares of the Company’s common stock distributed to its stockholders on the Distribution Date.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on LTIP Units expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common

Table of Contents
share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potential dilutive shares for the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net loss for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units.
The Company considers the requirements of the two-class method when preparing earnings per share. The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock, $ 0.01 par value per share, and Class C common stock, $ 0.01 par value per share. Earnings per share is not affected by the two-class method because the Company’s Class A and C common stock participate in dividends on a one -for- one basis.
The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The effect of the conversion of OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.
Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units
As of March 31, 2023, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 67.32 % of the common units of the Operating Partnership ( 7,370,727 OP Units, or 62.67 %, is held by OP Unit holders, and 546,632 LTIP Units, or 4.65 %, is held by LTIP Unit holders, including 3.45 % which are not vested at March 31, 2023). Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement, OP Units are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s election, redeemable for cash. LTIP Units may be convertible into OP Units under certain conditions and then may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or, at the Company’s election, cash.
On February 22, 2023, the Company granted 85,750 and 17,462 C-LTIP Units pursuant to the Management Agreement to the Manager in payment of the base management fee and operating expense reimbursement, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2022. Such C-LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance.
In the future, the Operating Partnership may issue OP Units or preferred OP Units from time to time in connection with acquisitions of properties or for financing, compensation or other reasons.
Equity Incentive Plans

Together, the Company refers to the BHM Individuals Plan and the BHM Entities Plan as the “BHM Incentive Plans.” The BHM Incentive Plans provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock awards,

stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, and are administered by the compensation committee of the Board.
LTIP Unit Grants
On January 1, 2023, the Company granted 3,303 LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans to each independent member of the Board in payment of the equity portion of their respective annual retainers. Such LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance and the Company recognized expense of $ 0.3 million based on the fair value at the date of grant.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $ 0.5 million. As of March 31, 2023, there was $ 8.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested LTIP Units granted under the Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 4.6 years.
The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award grants.
Distributions

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
The aggregate amount of the Company’s contractual commitments to fund future cash obligations in certain of its preferred equity and joint venture investments was $ 4.1 million and $ 3.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company is subject to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these legal proceedings or matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
