BLUEROCK HOMES TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on December 16, 2021. 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 units, 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 September 30, 2024, the Company held twenty real estate investments, consisting of twelve consolidated investments and eight preferred equity and loan investments. The twenty investments represent an aggregate of 4,000 residential units, comprised of 2,742 consolidated units, of which 170 units are under development, and 1,258 units through preferred equity and loan investments, which includes planned units and those under development. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 90.5 % occupied; excluding units classified as held for sale and down/renovation units, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 94.3 % occupied.
The Company has elected to be treated, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to corporate-level income taxes. To maintain its REIT status, the Company is 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 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 it lost its qualification. The Company intends to continue to organize and operate in such a manner as to 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 consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 69.29 % of the common units of the Operating Partnership, of which 57.09 % is held by holders of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) and 12.20 % is held by holders of the Operating Partnership’s long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”), including 3.74 % which are not vested as of September 30, 2024.
Certain amounts in prior year financial statement presentation have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
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.
10
Table of Contents
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 , except as noted regarding Note B of the Wayford at Pringle Loan Financing (refer to Note 6), 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 income from preferred equity investments in its 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 its 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 note 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.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
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 inflation and related volatility in the market. As inflation accelerated rapidly in the first half of 2023, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates a total of four times during 2023 to curb the effects of rising inflation. While the Federal Reserve held rates steady between July 2023 and September 2024 and reduced interest rates by 50-basis points in September 2024, there can be no assurances that interest rates will not rise again, and the Company’s operating costs, including utilities and payroll, may increase as a result of increases in 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 long-term impact of these economic developments will largely depend on any future action by the Federal Reserve, future laws that may be enacted, the impact on job growth and the broader economy, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of 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, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2024 for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to these policies.

Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited 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, 2023 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.
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 November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require additional disclosures regarding reportable segments, including a segment’s significant expenses on both an annual and interim basis. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements unless it is impracticable to do so. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require additional disclosure with respect to the effective tax rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its financial disclosures.

Peak Housing Financing
Prior to 2024, the Company provided a mezzanine loan to the portfolio owner in Peak JV 3, which is owned through a joint venture between the Company and the operating partnership of Peak Housing REIT (the “Peak REIT OP”). The entity through which the Company provided the loan (the lender-entity) and the entity to which the loan was provided (the property owner) consolidate into the Company’s financial statements. As such, the loan receivable balance and the loan payable balance, and the loan interest income and loan interest expense attributable to the Company, are eliminated through consolidation on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively. The Company (as lender entity) recognizes Peak REIT OP’s portion of interest expense on the loan as income and this amount is reflected in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The mezzanine loan was to mature on June 30, 2024; however, on May 22, 2024, the property owner delivered written notice to the Company of its intention to exercise the loan’s final six-month extension option, extending the maturity date to December 30, 2024. The loan can be prepaid without penalty. At December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the loan provided by the Company was $ 15.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, proceeds from the sales of 34 units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio (refer to Note 4 for further information) have been used to reduce the outstanding balance of the loan to $ 11.7 million at September 30, 2024.
Wayford at Pringle Loan Financing
On January 10, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to provide a loan in the maximum aggregate amount up to $ 30.1 million (the “Pringle Loan”) to an unaffiliated, third-party borrower to acquire 102 build-to-rent, single-family residential units in Charlotte, North Carolina to be known as Wayford at Pringle. The project is currently under development, and the Company will disburse loan proceeds to the borrower for unit acquisitions as construction is completed. The Pringle Loan is comprised of two notes as follows: Note A in the maximum principal amount up to $ 22.3 million and Note B in the maximum principal amount up to $ 7.8 million. Note B has certain conversion options that require the consent of both parties before such options can be exercised; neither party has unilateral control to enforce a conversion. The Company has evaluated both notes and concluded that loan accounting treatment is appropriate for Note A, whereas Note B, due to the conversion options, meets the criteria of a debt security and is considered as available for sale. The Company records both notes in notes and accrued interest receivable, net in its consolidated balance sheets, and the interest income earned on both notes is recorded in interest income from loan investments in its consolidated statements of operations.
Note A and Note B both have an initial maturity of January 12, 2026 and contain four (4) six-month extension options subject to certain conditions. Note A bears interest on the amount drawn at the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 4.50 % through initial maturity, and if extended, such rate becomes subject to a 5.31 % rate floor. Note A has regular monthly payments that are interest-only during the term of the loan, and no prepayment of Note A, in part or in whole, can be made prior to prepayment of Note B subject to certain conditions. On Note B, interest shall accrue on the amount drawn at a rate of 15.00 % per annum, compounded monthly, with outstanding principal and accrued interest amounts due upon maturity. Note B can be prepaid in part or in whole subject to minimum interest. As of September 30, 2024, construction was completed on 85 of the total 102 units, and the Company had funded $ 16.8 million of Note A and fully funded the $ 7.8 million of Note B. There were no unrealized gains or losses associated with Note B as of September 30, 2024 as the Company determined that the $ 7.8 million face value of Note B represents its fair value at such measurement date.
The Woods at Forest Hill Loan Financing
In December 2023, the Company assumed an $ 8.3 million senior loan (the “Woods Loan”) made to an unaffiliated third-party borrower for 76 build-to-rent, single family residential units in Forest Hill, Texas. The Woods Loan investment was in addition to the Company’s existing preferred equity investment in The Woods at Forest Hill. The Woods Loan borrower is currently in the process of selling the individual units, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the borrower sold 58 of the 76 units that collateralized the Company’s loan and preferred equity investments in The Woods at Forest Hill. Proceeds from the sales of these units were used to fully pay off the Woods Loan investment made by the Company in the aggregate amount of $ 8.5 million, which included principal investment of $ 8.3 million and accrued interest of $ 0.2 million, with the final payment received in August 2024. Following the payoff of the Woods Loan, remaining available proceeds from the unit sales were used to partially redeem the Company’s preferred equity investment in The Woods at Forest Hill (refer to Note 7 for further information).

Willow Park Loan Financing
In October 2023, the Company provided a $ 9.4 million senior loan (the “Willow Loan”) to an unaffiliated third-party borrower for 58 build-to-rent, single-family residential units. The Willow Loan was to initially mature on October 28, 2024; however, on September 30, 2024, the borrower delivered written notice to the Company of its intention to exercise the first of the Willow Loan’s two six-month extension options, extending the maturity date to April 28, 2025. Following the initial maturity date, the Willow Loan interest rate will increase from a fixed rate of 5.08 % per annum to a fixed rate of 7.50 % per annum through the first extension period, with regular monthly payments remaining interest-only. The Willow Loan can be prepaid in part, subject to a minimum payment, or in whole without penalty.

The Company made a commitment to invest $ 5.3 million for preferred equity interests in the Indigo JV, of which $ 3.0 million had been funded as of September 30, 2024. The Company earns an accrued return on its outstanding capital contributions at a rate of 17.0 % per annum compounded monthly, subject to a minimum return, with preferred return payments commencing in December 2025 contingent upon the property generating cash flows in excess of operating costs. The Indigo JV is required to redeem the Company’s preferred equity interests plus any accrued preferred return on the date the construction loan (addressed below) is repaid or refinanced, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events.
In conjunction with the Indigo Cove development, the Indigo Cove property owner, which is owned by the Indigo JV, entered into a $ 22.0 million construction loan, of which $ 0.6 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2024. The loan bears interest on the amount drawn based on one-month Term SOFR plus 5.55 %, subject to a 9.87 % rate floor, with interest-only monthly payments during the term of the loan. The loan matures on June 18, 2026 and is secured by the fee simple interest in the Indigo Cove development. The loan contains two (2) six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, and can be prepaid without penalty.

Peak Housing Interests
Prior to 2024, the Company made a preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP in the aggregate amount of $ 20.3 million which was collateralized by 648 single-family residential units (“Peak Housing”). Peak REIT OP could sell the units collateralizing the Company’s preferred equity investment, though Peak REIT OP was 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 had been repaid in full, subject to certain rate of return requirements and including any accrued but unpaid preferred returns. During 2023, Peak REIT OP sold 196 of the 648 units that collateralized the Company’s investment, with the proceeds from the sales used to partially redeem the Company’s preferred equity investment. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s outstanding preferred equity principal investment in Peak REIT OP was $ 10.6 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Peak REIT OP continued to sell units that collateralized the Company’s investment. Proceeds from the sales were used by Peak REIT OP to fully redeem the Company’s preferred equity investment in the aggregate amount of $ 11.2 million, which included the Company’s remaining principal investment of $ 10.6 million and accrued preferred return of $ 0.6 million, with the final redemption payment received in September 2024.
The Cottages of Port St. Lucie Interests
The Company is party to a joint venture agreement with an unaffiliated third party (the “Cottages St. Lucie JV”) that developed 286 build-to-rent, single-family residential units in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The Company made an $ 18.8 million preferred equity investment in the Cottages St. Lucie JV, and the joint venture is required to redeem the Company’s investment, plus any accrued but unpaid preferred returns, on the date the construction loan is due and payable or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events. The construction loan was to mature on August 26, 2024; however, The Cottages of Port St. Lucie property owner, which is owned by the Cottages St. Lucie JV, executed an amendment to the construction loan agreement, which included revising the maturity date to November 26, 2024. The construction loan can be prepaid without penalty and has regular monthly payments that will remain interest-only during the extension period.
The Woods at Forest Hill Interests
The Company is party to a joint venture agreement with an unaffiliated third party (the “Woods JV”) for 76 build-to-rent, single-family residential units in Forest Hill, Texas. The Company made a $ 5.6 million preferred equity investment in the Woods JV, which preceded the senior loan investment made by the Company in The Woods at Forest Hill (the Woods Loan - refer to Note 6 for further information). The Woods Loan borrower is currently in the process of selling the individual units, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the borrower sold 58 of the 76 units that collateralized the Company’s preferred equity and loan investments in The Woods at Forest Hill. Proceeds from the sales of these units were first used to fully pay off the Woods Loan investment made by the Company, with remaining available proceeds used to partially redeem the Company’s preferred equity investment in the Woods JV in the aggregate amount of $ 3.8 million, which included principal investment of $ 2.1 million, accrued preferred return of $ 1.1 million, and a minimum multiple payment of $ 0.6 million. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s outstanding preferred equity investment in the Woods JV was $ 3.5 million, with a remaining 18 units as collateral underlying the Company’s investment.
In addition, The Woods at Forest Hill units, along with other Peak REIT OP investments, serve as collateral for the Company’s previous preferred equity investment in Willow Park. In October 2023, the Company’s investment in Willow Park was redeemed by the Willow Park joint venture, with the Company receiving $ 2.9 million of its $ 4.6 million principal investment. The remaining $ 1.7 million of the Company’s preferred equity investment in Willow Park, together with the Company’s $ 3.5 million of outstanding preferred equity investment in the Woods JV, results in the Company’s preferred equity investment carrying value of $ 5.2 million in The Woods at Forest Hill at September 30, 2024. Peak REIT OP has guaranteed the full return of the Company’s investments in both The Woods at Forest Hill and Willow Park.

Note 10 – 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.
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
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to affiliates, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities.
The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands):

(1) Represents Note B of the Pringle Loan which, due to conversion options, meets the criteria of a debt security and is considered as available for sale (refer to Note 6 for further information). The fair value of the note receivable is estimated by modeling the expected contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting such cash flows back to their present value using estimates of current market rates. As the estimated current market rates did not substantially differ from the discount rates originally applied, the carrying amount of the note receivable approximates its fair value. There were no purchases, sales, issuances, or settlements during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 other than the $ 7.8 million initial funding of the note in the first quarter 2024.
(2) The carrying values of the mortgages payable include ($ 2,482 ) and $ 916 of unamortized fair value debt adjustments and exclude $ 1,838 and $ 951 of deferred financing costs at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated based on interest rates obtained from third party lenders for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

The estimated fair value is based on discussions with third party brokers, historical sales experience, and current market conditions.
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 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 fair value of interest rate swaps is 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 inputs used in the valuation of interest rate caps and swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Note 11 – 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 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 these derivative financial instruments mitigate increases in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Table of Contents
At September 30, 2024, 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 $ 128.5 million of the Company’s debt.

Note 12 – Related Party Transactions
Management Agreement
In October 2022, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Operating Partnership and Bluerock Homes Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), which is an affiliate of Bluerock Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”), pursuant to which the Manager provides for the day-to-day management of the Company’s operations. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager provides the Company with a management team and appropriate support personnel to provide such management services to the Company. The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs under the supervision and direction of the Company’s board of directions (the “Board”). Specifically, the Manager is 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 Management Agreement expires on October 6, 2024 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 pays 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 is required to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses and pay all operating expenses (the “operating expense reimbursement”) with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) in arrears, 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) the operating expense reimbursement 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.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on restricted stock, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net income (loss) for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested restricted stock, 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.

(1) Amounts relate to shares of the Company’s Class A and Class C common stock outstanding.
(2) For the three months ended September 30, 2024, potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 11,975 shares are included in the diluted shares calculation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 3,383 shares are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 4,142,972 shares and 2,315,348 shares, respectively, are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, (i) potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of zero shares and 3,702 shares, respectively, are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive, and (ii) potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 44,658 shares and 12,810 shares, respectively, are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive.
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 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.
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 3,459,331 shares of 6.0 % Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $ 25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) under its continuous registered offering with net proceeds of approximately $ 76.7 million after (i) commissions, dealer manager fees and sales discounts of approximately $ 8.7 million, and (ii) costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock of approximately $ 1.2 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had issued a total of 3,896,006 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with total net proceeds of approximately $ 85.0 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company, at the request of holders, redeemed 6,560 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the issuance of 9,103 shares of Class A common stock.

Table of Contents
In November 2023, the Company announced the payment of additional contingent special daily dividends with respect to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. This dividend was aggregated with the regular monthly dividend so as to effect a dividend rate of two percent over the average 10-Year Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rate with a floor of 6 % annually, calculated and paid monthly. Commencing in November 2023, the Series A Preferred Stock additional contingent special dividend was declared for each month for which the Board declared the regular monthly dividend of $ 0.125 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. In May 2024, the Company announced the payment of an enhanced special dividend replacing the additional contingent special daily dividend. The enhanced special dividend is aggregated with the regular monthly dividend so as to effect a dividend rate of the average one-month Term SOFR rate plus two percent, subject to a 6.5 % minimum and an 8.5 % maximum annual rate, calculated and paid monthly. Commencing in May 2024, the Series A Preferred enhanced special dividend was declared for each month for which the Board declared the regular monthly dividend of $ 0.125 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock.
Class A Common Stock Repurchase Plan
On February 13, 2024, the Board authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $ 5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of its Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. The Company expects to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock through open market transactions, subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2024, no repurchases of Class A common stock had been made by the Company.

On October 31, 2024, the Company, through BR Amira DST, a Delaware statutory trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of its Operating Partnership (the “Amira DST”), acquired a 408 -unit single-family residential community located in Tampa, Florida known as Amira at Westly.
