REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Members
of Belpointe PREP, LLC
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Belpointe PREP, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ capital (deficit), and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2021 and the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period beginning
January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 - Organization, Business Purpose and Capitalization
Organization
and Business Purpose
Belpointe
PREP, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed
on January 24, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company. We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real
estate located within “qualified opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets will consist of qualified opportunity zone
property, which enables us to be classified as a “qualified opportunity fund” as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December
31, 2020.
We
commenced principal operations on October 28, 2020. All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, one
or more operating companies (each an “Operating Company” and together, the “Operating Companies”), either directly
or indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate
of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (the “Sponsor”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Manager will be responsible
for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf.
Capitalization
We
were capitalized with a $ 10,000 investment by our Sponsor. We are offering the Class A Units in our Primary Offering (as defined in “Note 2 – Exchange Offer, Conversion and Merger” ) directly to investors and not through any underwriters, dealer-managers or other
agents who would be paid commissions by us or any of our affiliates. In the future, however, we may engage the services of one or more
underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents to participate in our Primary Offering or other primary offerings. The amount of selling
commissions or deal manager fees that we or our investors would pay to such underwriters, dealer managers or other agents will depend
on the terms of their engagement. Our Primary Offering is a “best efforts” offering. We plan to undertake closings on a rolling
basis on the last business day of each calendar quarter, we may, however, in our sole discretion, choose to conduct more frequent closings.
We
set our Primary Offering price at $ 100.00 per Class A Unit. No later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end,
and every quarter thereafter, we plan to calculate our net asset value (“NAV”) within approximately 60 days of the last day
of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases below the price per Class A Unit as stated
in our prospectus, we will adjust the Primary Offering price, effective as of the first business day following its public announcement.
The adjusted Primary Offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded to the nearest dollar) divided
by the number of Class A Units outstanding on the Determination Date.
Note
2 – Exchange Offer, Conversion and Merger
Pursuant
to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 21, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company,
BREIT Merger, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BREIT Merger”), and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and
Belpointe REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Belpointe REIT”), BREIT Merger commenced an offer (the “Offer”)
to exchange each outstanding share of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Belpointe REIT validly
tendered in the Offer for 1.05 Class A units (the “Class A Units”) representing limited liability company interests of the
Company, with any fractional Class A Units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The purpose
of the Offer was for the Company to acquire control of the entire equity interest in Belpointe REIT while at the same time preserving
the status of Belpointe REIT’s investments as qualified opportunity zone investments, and the Company’s status as a qualified
opportunity fund.
The
Offer expired on June 18, 2021. As of the expiration of the Offer, 757,098 shares of Belpointe REIT’s Common Stock had been validly
tendered, representing 63.62 % of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
for the Offer was satisfied because the number of shares of Common Stock of Belpointe REIT validly tendered represented at least a majority
of the aggregate voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following consummation of the Offer. In connection
with the Offer and Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”),
as amended (File No. 333-255427), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Form S-4 was declared
effective on September 13, 2021. On September 14, 2021, BREIT Merger accepted for exchange all of the shares of Common Stock validly
tendered in the Offer and, effective September 14, 2021 (the “Exchange Date”), Belpointe REIT completed the QOZB Sale (as
defined in the Merger Agreement).
50
Table of Contents
Concurrently
with the Form S-4, we also filed a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424) with the SEC to register a continuous
primary offering of up to $ 750,000,000 in our Class A Units (the “Primary Offering”). The Primary Offering was declared effective
on September 30, 2021.
On
October 1, 2021, pursuant to the conditions in the Merger Agreement, Belpointe REIT converted (the “Conversion”) from a corporation
into BREIT, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“BREIT”), and in connection with the Conversion each outstanding share
of Belpointe REIT Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company interest (an “Interest”) of BREIT.
On
October 12, 2021, all other conditions to the Merger having been satisfied, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, with BREIT Merger
surviving. In the Merger, each Interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into
the right to receive the Transaction Consideration discussed above. In connection with the Merger, 433,025 BREIT Interests were exchanged
for 455,002 of our Class A Units issued at $ 100.00 per Class A Unit.
Upon
consummation of the Merger, effective October 12, 2021, we entered into a Release and Cancellation of Indebtedness Agreement with BREIT
Merger, the surviving entity in the Merger, pursuant to the terms of which BREIT Merger cancelled the Secured Notes and discharged us
from all obligations to repay the principal and any accrued interest on the Secured Notes. See “Note 4 – Related Party Arrangements”
for additional details regarding the Secured Notes.

Stock that were not tendered. Upon consummation of the Merger on October 12, 2021, the noncontrolling interest carrying value was

The
Company obtained a controlling financial interest in Belpointe REIT on the Exchange Date and consolidated Belpointe REIT and its subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2021. We accounted for the Offer and the Merger, collectively “the Transaction”, as an asset reorganization
of entities under common control due to the fact that all of the voting ownership interests of Belpointe REIT were exchanged for voting
ownership interests in Belpointe PREP through the issuance of Class A units. Accordingly, the Transaction was accounted for at carrying
value prospectively on the Exchange Date.

Note
3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations
of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portion
of members’ capital (deficit) in controlled subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented
in noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
We
have evaluated our economic interest in entities to determine if they are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”)
and whether the entities should be consolidated. An entity is a VIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity
does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at-risk equity
holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive
voting rights. The distinction between a VIE and other entities is based on the nature and amount of the equity investment and the rights
and obligations of the equity investors. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making
rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities
that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights.
Significant
judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review all agreements and contractual arrangements to determine
whether (i) we or another party have any variable interests in an entity, (ii) the entity is considered a VIE, and (iii) which variable
interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether a party
(a) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (b) has the obligation
to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

An
interest in a VIE requires reconsideration when an event occurs that was not originally contemplated. At each reporting period we will
reassess whether there are any events that require us to reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether it should
be consolidated.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”).
Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are permitted to use an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards
that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates
for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively
and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period
for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the consolidated
financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ
from those estimates.
Allocation
of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets and Liabilities
Upon
the acquisition of real estate properties we determine whether a transaction is a business combination, which requires that the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction as
an asset acquisition. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with our asset acquisitions, and expense acquisition-related
costs and fees associated with business combinations.
It
is our policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements,
and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable,
the other value of in-place leases, certain development rights and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair
values. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which
value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the fair values of these assets.
We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between the property valued (i) with existing
in-place leases, adjusted to market rental rates, and (ii) as if vacant. Other factors considered include an estimate of carrying costs
during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
53
Table of Contents
We
consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities
in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes,
insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. We estimate
costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have
not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. In connection with the purchase of real
property for development use, development rights are often transferred from one party to another to provide additional density. This
transfer of rights allows an entity to permit, construct and develop additional dwelling units. Accordingly, we allocate a portion of
the purchase price to these development right intangible assets based on the value attributed to the land of which we do not hold title
to but are provided density transfer rights over. These rights are amortized to amortization expense over the useful life based on the
respective contract. If the rights are transferred in perpetuity and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic
or other factors that limit its useful life, we consider the intangible asset indefinite-lived and therefore do not amortize.
The
total amount of other intangible assets acquired are further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible
values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship
with that respective tenant. We consider the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects
for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing
under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors. We amortize the value of in-place leases to depreciation and amortization
expense over the remaining term of the respective leases (as well as any applicable below market renewal options). The value of customer
relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the initial term in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization
periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized
portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense in that period.
The
values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are determined based on our experience and the relevant facts and circumstances
that existed at the time of the acquisitions and are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks
associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated
and in place at the time of acquisition of the properties, and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the properties or equivalent
properties. Such valuations include consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases (as well as any applicable below
market renewal options). The values of above and below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease term are amortized
to rental revenue over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with
below-market renewal options, that are likely to be exercised, are amortized to rental revenue over the respective renewal periods.
When
we acquire leveraged properties, the fair value of the related debt instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model with
rates that take into account the credit of the tenants, where applicable, and interest rate risk. Such resulting premium or discount
is amortized over the remaining term of the obligation and is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated financial statements.
We also consider the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the
tenant, the time until maturity and the current interest rate.
The
determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current
market rental rates, discount rates and other variables.
Real
Estate
Real
estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures which improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized,
while expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend lives of the assets, are charged to expense.
Deprecation
is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (not to exceed 40 years).
Project
costs directly related to the construction and development of real estate projects (including but not limited to interest and related
loan fees, property taxes, insurance and legal costs) are capitalized as a cost of the project. Indirect project costs that relate to
projects are capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Pertaining to assets under development, capitalization begins
when both direct and indirect project costs have been made and it is probable that development of the future asset is probable. Capitalization
of project costs will cease when the project is considered substantially completed and occupied, or ready for its intended use (but no
later than one year from cessation of major construction activity). Upon substantial completion, depreciation of these assets will commence.
If discrete portions of a project are substantially completed and occupied and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially
completed portions are accounted for separately. We allocate costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions
substantially completed and only capitalize those costs associated with the portions under construction.

Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment when events such as declines in a property’s
operating performance, deteriorating market conditions, or environmental or legal concerns bring recoverability of the carrying value
of one or more assets into question. When qualitative factors indicate the possibility of impairment, the total undiscounted cash flows
of the property, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the property. If this test indicates that
impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value to fair value, calculated as the
discounted net cash flows of the property.
Abandoned
Pursuit Costs
Pre-development
costs incurred in pursuit of new development opportunities which we deem to be probable will be capitalized in Other assets on the consolidated
balance sheets. If the development opportunity is not probable or the status of the project changes such that it is deemed no longer
probable, construction costs incurred will be expensed.
Loans
Receivable
We
evaluate our loans receivable on a periodic basis to assess whether there are any indicators that the value may be impaired. A loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due from
the borrower in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan. If a loan receivable is deemed impaired, we would be required
to establish a reserve for losses in an amount deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable.
Interest
income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans or notes. We stop accruing
interest on loans when circumstances indicate that it is probable that the ultimate collection of all interest due according to the loan
agreement will not be realized.
Leasing
Costs
Costs
incurred to obtain tenant leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease agreement. Such costs
include lease incentives, leasing commissions and legal costs. If the lease is terminated early, the remaining unamortized deferred leasing
cost is written off. Leasing costs are capitalized in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred
Financing Costs
Deferred
financing costs include fees and other expenditures necessary to obtain debt financing and are amortized on a straight-line basis, which
approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the loan. Deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction from
the related debt liability and any unamortized financing costs are charged to earnings when debt is retired before the maturity date.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash held in major financial institutions, cash on hand and liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less. Cash balances may at times exceed federally insurable limits per institution, however, we deposit our cash and
cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.
Restricted
Cash
Restricted
cash consists of amounts required to be reserved pursuant to lender agreements for debt service. The following table provides a reconciliation
of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash
flows (in thousands):

Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
marketplace participants at the measurement date under current market conditions ( i.e. , the exit price).
We
categorize our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different
levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
instrument.
Financial
assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as
follows:
Level
1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2 – Significant other observable inputs ( e.g ., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield
curves, and market-corroborated inputs).
Level
3 – Valuation generated from model-based techniques that use inputs that are significant and unobservable in the market. These
unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation
techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s
own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management
judgment or estimation.
Non-controlling
Interest
A
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported
as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent company’s equity. In addition, consolidated net
income is required to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest
and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest are required to be disclosed on
the face of the consolidated statements of operations.
Organization,
Primary Offering and Other Operating Costs
Organization
costs are expensed as incurred. Offering expenses include, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and
expenses, costs in connection with preparing sales materials, design and website expenses, fees and expenses of our escrow agent and
transfer agent, fees to attend retail seminars and reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, meals and entertainment expenses associated
therewith, but excluding upfront selling commissions or dealer manager fees. Offering costs, when incurred, will be charged to members’
equity against the gross proceeds of our Offering. Offering costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $ 0.6 million, of which
$ 0.1 million was unpaid and represents a non-cash financing activity. The Company became liable to reimburse the Manager and its
affiliates, including our Sponsor, when the first closing was held in connection with our Offering, which occurred in October 2021.
Pursuant
to the Management Agreement by and among the Company, Operating Companies and Manager (the “Management Agreement”), we will
reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for actual expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection
with the selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, whether or not we ultimately acquire or originate the investment. We
will also reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection
with providing services to the Company. Pursuant to the Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement by and among the Company, Operating Companies,
Manager and Sponsor (the “Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement”), we will reimburse our Sponsor and Manager for expenses incurred
for our allocable share of the salaries, benefits and overhead of personnel providing services to us. The expenses shall be payable,
at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class A Units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the
foregoing.
Leases
All
of our leases are deemed operating leases of which we recognize future minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable
lease term. For our operating leases that contain arrangements involving reimbursements for costs such as common area maintenance, real
estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within Rental revenue in our consolidated statement of operations in the period
in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Table of Contents
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Below-market rent liabilities, net and Accounts
Payable were previously presented within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, but are now presented separately,
in the consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense was previously presented separately, but is now presented within Other income
(expense), in the consolidated statements of operations.
We
identified an error in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 as it relates to one of Belpointe REIT’s previously
consolidated entities, BPOZ 1991 Main, LLC. As a result of the QOZB Sale and separate asset reorganization of entities under common control
discussed in Note 2 , Belpointe REIT’s accumulated losses of $1.7 million from BPOZ 1991 Main, LLC should have been recorded as
a reduction to the Class A Members’ Capital as of September 30, 2021 and therefore the loan provided to Belpointe Investment Holding
would have been reduced. We concluded that this adjustment was not material to our consolidated financial statements for the current
period or any prior periods and this correction was made as of December 31, 2021 accordingly.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
spread of COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global economy and normal business operations worldwide, and the duration
and severity of the effects are currently unknown. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 situation precludes any forecast
as to its ultimate impact. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance
and financial results, such as the potential to negatively impact financing arrangements, increase costs of operations, change laws or
regulations, and add uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. We are closely monitoring the potential impact of COVID-19
on all aspects of our business.
Other
Assets and Liabilities
Other
assets in the consolidated balance sheets include our transaction costs pertaining to our deal pursuits, restricted cash, interest on
loan receivables, property deposits, capitalized leasing commissions, corporate fixed assets, utility deposits, prepaid expenses, and
accounts receivable. We include accrued expenses, straight-line lease liabilities, prepaid rent and security deposits payable in Accrued
expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Income
Taxes
We
intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, an entity
that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a taxable entity and incurs no U.S. federal income tax liability.
Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been made in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. If we
fail to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year, and if we are not entitled to relief under
the Code for an inadvertent termination of our partnership status, we will be subject to federal and state income tax on our taxable
income at regular corporate income tax rates.
Loss
Per Unit
Loss
per unit represents both basic and dilutive per-unit amounts for the period presented in the consolidated financial statements. Basic
and diluted loss per unit is calculated by dividing Net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of Class A Units
outstanding during the year.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases ,
which is codified in ASC 842, Leases, and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting
standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes
to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into
after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As an emerging growth company, we are permitted,
and have elected, to use an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective
dates for public and private companies. For private companies, ASC 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating
credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity
debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment
model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models,
and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. As an emerging growth company, we are permitted, and have elected, to use an extended
transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies.
For private companies, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

Note
4 - Related Party Arrangements
On
October 28, 2020, Belpointe REIT lent the Company $ 35.0
million pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory
note (the “First Secured Note”). On February 16, 2021, Belpointe REIT lent the Company an additional $ 24.0
million pursuant to the terms of a second secured
promissory note (the “Second Secured Note”). On May 28, 2021, the Company and Belpointe REIT entered into an agreement
to amend the Maturity Date of the First Secured Note and Second Secured Note to December 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”).
In addition, on May 28, 2021, Belpointe REIT lent the Company an additional $ 15.0
million pursuant to the terms of a third secured
promissory note (the “Third Secured Note” and, together with the First Secured Note and Second Secured Note, the “Secured
Notes”). The Secured Notes bore interest at a rate of 0.14 %,
were due and payable on the Maturity Date and were secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the
Secured Notes to make certain qualified opportunity zone investments, as discussed below in “Note 5 –
Real Estate, Net.”
Upon
consummation of the Merger, effective October 12, 2021, we entered into a Release and Cancellation of Indebtedness Agreement with BREIT
Merger, the surviving entity in the Merger, pursuant to the terms of which BREIT Merger cancelled the Secured Notes and discharged us
from all obligations to repay the principal and any accrued interest on the Secured Notes (a non-cash financing activity). All
intercompany activity between the Company and Belpointe REIT have been eliminated for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In
accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective September 14, 2021, Belpointe REIT sold its interest in the holding company
for an approximately 5.2 -acre site located in Sarasota, Florida (the “1991 Main Interest”) to Belpointe Investment Holding,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BI Holding”) and affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate purchase
price of $ 23.1 million, which was evidenced by a secured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 5 % per annum and due and payable
at maturity on September 14, 2022 (the “BI Secured Note”). Upon consummation of the Merger, we acquired the BI Secured Note
as successor in interest to Belpointe REIT.
Effective
November 30, 2021, we acquired the 1991 Main Interest from BI Holding in consideration of its payment to us of $ 0.3 million in interest
that had accrued under the terms of the BI Secured Note through November 30, 2021, and in satisfaction of its remaining obligations under
the BI Secured Note. For additional details regarding our acquisition of the 1991 Main Interest see “Note 5 – Real Estate, Net.”

Organization,
Primary Offering and Merger Expenses
The
Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, will be reimbursed, as described in the following paragraph, for organization and
offering expenses incurred in conjunction with our organization and Primary Offering as well as expenses incurred in connection with
the Transaction, which is described in greater detail in “Note 2 – Exchange Offer, Conversion and Merger.” As of December
31, 2021 and 2020, the Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have incurred organization and Primary Offering expenses of
$ 0.6 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively, on behalf of the Company. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Manager and its affiliates,
including our Sponsor, have incurred Transaction expenses of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively.
Other
Operating Expenses
Pursuant
to the Management Agreement by and among the Company, Operating Companies and Manager (the “Management Agreement”), we will
reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for actual expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in connection
with the selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, whether or not the Company ultimately acquires or originates the investment.
We will also reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection
with providing services to the Company. Pursuant to the Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement by and among the Company, Operating Companies
and Manager, we will reimburse our Sponsor and Manager for expenses incurred for our allocable share of the salaries, benefits and overhead
of personnel providing services to us. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have
incurred operating expenses of $ 1.3 million and $ 0.1 million, inclusive of wage reimbursements of $ 0.8 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively,
on behalf of the Company. The expenses shall be payable, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class A units
at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing.
Management
Fee
Subject
to the oversight of our board of directors (the “Board”), the Manager is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs
on a day-to-day basis and for the origination, selection, evaluation, structuring, acquisition, financing and development of our commercial
real estate properties, real estate-related assets, including but not limited to commercial real estate loans, and debt and equity securities
issued by other real estate-related companies, as well as private equity acquisitions and investments, and opportunistic acquisitions
of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses.
Pursuant
to the Management Agreement we will pay our Manager a quarterly management fee in arrears of one-fourth of 0.75 %. The management fee
will be based on our NAV at the end of each quarter, which, no later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end,
and every quarter, thereafter, will be announced within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter. For the year ended December
31, 2021, we incurred management fees of $ 0.7 million which are included in Property expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
Property
Management Oversight Fee
Our
Manager, Sponsor or an affiliate of our Manager or Sponsor, will be paid an annual property management oversight fee, to be paid by the
individual subsidiaries of our Operating Companies, equal to 1.5 % of the revenue generated by the applicable property. There were no
property management oversight fees for the year ended December 31, 2021 or for the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December
31, 2020.
Development
Fee
Affiliates
of our Sponsor are entitled to receive (i) development fees on each project in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services
rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project, and (ii) reimbursements for their expenses, such as employee compensation
and other overhead expenses incurred in connection with the project.
In
connection with our acquisitions of 902-1020 First and 900 8th Avenue South (as defined in “Note 5 – Real Estate, Net” ),
a development fee of 4.5 % of total project costs will be charged throughout the course of each project, of which one half was due at
the close of each acquisition and is included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31,
2021 and 2020.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred employee reimbursement expenditures to the development managers of $ 0.6 million, of which
$ 0.5 million is included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheet and $ 0.1 million is included in General
and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, zero and $ 0.3 million, respectively,
remained due and payable to our affiliates for upfront development fees, and $ 0.4 million and less than $ 0.1 million, respectively, remained
due and payable to our affiliates for employee reimbursement expenditures relating to projects under development.
Acquisition
Fee
We
will pay our Manager, Sponsor, or an affiliate of our Manager or Sponsor, an acquisition fee equal to 1.5 % of the total value of any
acquisition transaction, including any acquisition through merger with another entity (but excluding any transactions in which our Sponsor,
or an affiliate of our Manager or Sponsor, would otherwise receive a development fee). As of December 31, 2021, we incurred acquisition
fees of less than $ 0.1 million in connection with the 901-909 Central (as defined in “Note 5 – Real Estate, Net” ) acquisition.
We did not incur any acquisition fees as of December 31, 2020, since all investments acquired as of that date were or will be subject
to payment of development fees.
Economic
Dependency
Under
various agreements, the Company has engaged the Manager and its affiliates, including in certain cases the Sponsor, to provide certain
services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition services, supervision
of our Primary Offering and any subsequent offerings, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company, including accounting
services and investor relations services. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon the Manager and its affiliates, including
the Sponsor. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with these services, we would be required to find alternative
providers of these services.
Note
5 – Real Estate, Net
Acquisitions
of Real Estate During 2021
On
February 24, 2021, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Company and an unaffiliated third party (the “JV Partner”)
entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) for BPOZ 900 Eighth QOZB, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“BPOZ 900 Eighth QOZB”). BPOZ 900 Eighth QOZB was formed for purposes of acquiring all of the limited
partnership interests of 900 Eighth, LP, a Tennessee limited partnership (“900 Eighth”). 900 Eighth was formed to acquire
a 3.17 -acre land assemblage, consisting of a few small buildings, parking lots and open lots, located in Nashville, Tennessee (together
“900 8th Avenue South”). Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the JV Partner assigned the purchase and sale agreement for 900 8th
Avenue South together with a previously paid property deposit of $ 0.4 million to BPOZ 900 Eighth QOZB in exchange for the JV Partner’s
deemed initial capital contribution of $ 0.2 million (a non-cash investing activity during the year ended December 31, 2021) and a promissory
note (the “900 Eighth Promissory Note”) from 900 Eighth in the amount of $ 0.2 million. The 900 Eighth Promissory Note, which
is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, earns interest at the greater of (i) 1 % per
annum, or (ii) the short-term adjusted applicable federal rate for the current month for purposes of Section 1288(b) of the Code, and
matures upon receipt of construction permits which we expect to receive in 2022. On May 28, 2021, 900 Eighth completed the acquisition
of 900 8th Avenue South for a purchase price of $ 19.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs of $ 0.1 million. We funded this acquisition
with proceeds from the Secured Notes. This acquisition was deemed to be an asset acquisition and all transaction costs were capitalized.
All related assets were recorded at their relative fair values based on the purchase price and acquisition costs incurred. We anticipate
funding entitlement and development costs with a mix of equity investments by the JV Partner and proceeds from the Primary Offering.

Table of Contents
On

to the terms of a non-recourse promissory note (the “CMC Note”) secured by a Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement on a property

Note
9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We
categorize our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different
levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
instrument.
64
Table of Contents
Financial
assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as
follows:
Level
1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2 – Significant other observable inputs ( e.g. , quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield
curves, and market-corroborated inputs).
Level
3 – Valuation generated from model-based techniques that use inputs that are significant and unobservable in the market. These
unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation
techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s
own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management
judgment or estimation.
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant financial instruments. We estimated that our other financial assets and
liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Note
10 – Loss Per Unit
Basic
and Diluted Loss Per Unit
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, the basic and diluted weighted-average units outstanding was 410,194 . For the year ended December 31,
2021, net loss attributable to Class A Units was $ 3.1 million and the loss per basic and diluted unit was $ 7.64 .

and the loss per basic and diluted unit was $ 1,120 .
Note
11 – Members’ Capital (Deficit)
Our
Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (our “Operating Agreement”) generally authorizes our Board
to issue an unlimited number of units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to such units for consideration
or for no consideration and on the terms and conditions as determined by our Board, in its sole discretion, without the approval of any
members. These additional securities may be used for a variety of purposes, including in future offerings to raise additional capital
and acquisitions. Our Operating Agreement currently authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of Class A units, 100,000 Class B
units and one Class M unit. As of December 31, 2021, there are 3,382,149 Class A units, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit issued
and outstanding.
As
of December 31, 2021, there were 202,952
units issued by the Company pursuant to subscription
agreements which had not yet settled. Accordingly, $ 20.3
million was a non-cash financing activity
during 2021 and was recorded as a Subscriptions receivable on our consolidated balance sheet relating to such units issued as of
December 31, 2021. As of filing, all of these funds have been received.
Class
A units
Upon
payment in full of any consideration payable with respect to the initial issuance of our Class A units, the holder thereof will not be
liable for any additional capital contributions to the Company. Holders of Class A units are not entitled to preemptive, redemption or
conversion rights. Class A units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters submitted to a vote of our members. Matters must generally
be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast.
Holders
of Class A units share ratably in any distributions we make, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on distributions and
to any restrictions on distributions imposed by the terms of any preferred units we issue.
Upon
our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, after payment of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and holders of preferred units,
if any, holders of Class A units are entitled to receive our remaining assets available for distribution.

Table of Contents
Class
B units
All
of our Class B units are held by our Manager and were issued on September 14, 2021, upon effectiveness of our Form S-4. Class B units
are not entitled to preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. Class B units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters submitted
to a vote of our members. Matters must generally be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality)
of the votes entitled to be cast.
Holders
of our Class B units are entitled to share ratably as a class in 5 % of any gains recognized by or distributed to the Company or recognized
by or distributed from our Operating Companies or any subsidiary or other entity to the Company, regardless of whether the holders of
our Class A units have received a return of their capital. The allocation and distribution rights that the holders of our Class B units
are entitled to may not be amended, altered or repealed, and the number of authorized Class B units may not be increased or decreased,
without the consent of our Manager. In addition, our Manager will continue to hold the Class B units even if it is no longer our manager.
Upon
our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, after payment of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and holders of preferred units,
if any, holders of Class B units will be entitled to receive any accrual of gains or distributions otherwise distributable pursuant to
the terms of the Class B units, regardless of whether the holders of our Class A Units have received a return of their capital.
Class
M unit
The
Class M unit is held by our Manager and was issued on September 14, 2021, upon effectiveness of our Form S-4. The Class M unit is not
entitled to preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. The Class M unit is entitled to that number of votes equal to the product obtained
by multiplying (i) the sum of the aggregate number of outstanding Class A Units plus Class B units, by (ii) 10, on matters on which the
Class M unit has a vote. Our Manager will continue to hold the Class M unit for so long as it remains our manager.
The
holder of our Class M unit does not have any right to receive ordinary, special or liquidating distributions.
Preferred
units
Under
our Operating Agreement, our Board may from time to time establish and cause us to issue one or more classes or series of preferred units
and set the designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such classes or series.
Note
12 – Commitments and Contingencies
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company is not subject to any material litigation nor is the Company aware of any material litigation threatened
against it.
Note
13 – Subsequent Events
Management
has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the date the audited
consolidated financial statements were available for issuance require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the audited consolidated
financial statements and has concluded that all such events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure have been recognized
or disclosed.
Loan
On
January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $ 30.0
million (the “Norpointe Loan”) to
Norpointe, LLC (“Norpointe”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. Norpointe is the owner of certain real property
located at 41 Wolfpit Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 (the “Norpointe Property”). The Norpointe Loan is evidenced by a
promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 5 %
per annum, due and payable on December 31, 2022, and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property. Given our excess
cash on hand as of the year ended December 31, 2021, management viewed the Norpointe transaction as an opportunity to earn a strong rate
of return on that cash by making a low risk—due to the low loan-to-value ratio and first priority mortgage interest—short-term
loan rather than depositing the funds in a lower yielding account pending investment in future developments.
