FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which reflect the current
views of Belpointe PREP, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)
with respect to, among other things, our future results of operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by words such as “anticipate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” and “would” or the negative of these
words or other comparable words or statements that do not relate to historical or factual matters. By their nature, forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance and are subject to
risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify, including those risks described
under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, a copy of which may
be accessed here , and, in particular, the risks and uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, escalating conflict between
Russia and Ukraine, rising inflation rates, increasing energy costs, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, financial market volatility,
general economic uncertainty, potential changes in the laws that we are subject to, and the projected impact of these and other events
on our business, results of operations and financial performance.
We
caution you that the risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties and other
factors that are important to you. There may be other factors that cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking
statements, including factors discussed in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which
are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form
10-Q in the context of these risks and uncertainties. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits or
developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us
or our business in the way expected. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion
of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our plans, strategies and objectives, which
we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q apply only as of the date made and are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the SEC.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances,
except as required by law.

PREP, LLC
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note
1 - Organization, Business Purpose and Capitalization
Organization
and Business Purpose
Belpointe
PREP, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed
on January 24, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company. We operate in a manner that allows us to qualify as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate
located within “qualified opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property,
which enables us to be classified as a “qualified opportunity fund” as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”). We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31,
2020.
We
commenced principal operations on October 28, 2020. All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, one
or more operating companies (each an “Operating Company” and together, our “Operating Companies”), either directly
or indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (our “Manager”), an affiliate
of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our “Sponsor”). Subject to the oversight of our board of directors (our “Board”),
our Manager is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments
on our behalf.
Our
Transaction with Belpointe REIT
Pursuant
to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, we conducted an offer to exchange (the “Offer”) each outstanding share of
common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Belpointe REIT, Inc. (“Belpointe REIT”) for 1.05 of our Class A units, with
any fractional Class A units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The Offer was completed
on September 14, 2021.
Following
the Offer, Belpointe REIT was converted from a corporation into a limited liability company (the “Conversion”). In the Conversion
each outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company interest (an “Interest”). Thereafter,
the limited liability company was merged with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”), and each outstanding Interest
was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. The Merger was completed on October 12, 2021.
Capitalization
We
are offering Class A units in our ongoing initial public offering (our “Primary Offering”) directly to investors. Our Primary
Offering is a “best efforts” offering and we undertake closings on a rolling basis.
We
set our Primary Offering price at $ 100.00 per Class A unit. No later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end,
and every quarter thereafter, we plan to calculate our net asset value (“NAV”) within approximately 60 days of the last day
of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases below the price per Class A unit as stated
in our prospectus, we will adjust the Primary Offering price, effective as of the first business day following its public announcement.
The adjusted Primary Offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded to the nearest dollar) divided
by the number of Class A Units outstanding on the Determination Date.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and Article
8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
5
Table of Contents
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are unaudited and may not include year-end adjustments necessary
to make them comparable to audited results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The operating results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Basis
of Consolidation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries.
The portion of members’ capital (deficit) in controlled subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are
presented in noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
We
have evaluated our economic interest in entities to determine if they are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”)
and whether the entities should be consolidated. An entity is a VIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity
does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at-risk equity
holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive
voting rights. The distinction between a VIE and other entities is based on the nature and amount of the equity investment and the rights
and obligations of the equity investors. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making
rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities
that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights.
Significant
judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review all agreements and contractual arrangements to determine
whether (i) we or another party have any variable interests in an entity, (ii) the entity is considered a VIE, and (iii) which variable
interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether a party
(a) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (b) has the obligation
to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

An
interest in a VIE requires reconsideration when an event occurs that was not originally contemplated. At each reporting period we will
reassess whether there are any events that require us to reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether it should
be consolidated.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”).
Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are permitted to use an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards
that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates
for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively
and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period
for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the consolidated
financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates.

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

Primary Offering and any other offerings we conduct, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company, including, without
limitation, accounting services and investor relations services. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon our Manager

Note
8 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
marketplace participants at the measurement date under current market conditions ( i.e. , the exit price).
We
categorize our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different
levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
instrument.
14
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.
The
carrying value of our loans receivable totaled $ 34.9 million and $ 3.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively,
and had estimated fair values of $ 34.7 million and $ 3.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We determined
the estimated fair value of our loans receivable using a discounted cash flow model taking into account the investments liquidity, the
strength of the loan collateral, quality of the credit profile of the obligor, term to maturity and the likelihood of a liquidity event,
among other factors. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
We
estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021.
Note
9 – Members’ Capital (Deficit)

capital and acquisitions. Our Operating Agreement currently authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of Class A units, 100,000

The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements
and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “Annual Report”) filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2022, a copy of which may be accessed here. As discussed in the
section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results

included our Annual Report.
Overview
We
are the only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability
company, formed on January 24, 2020, and we currently intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate
located within qualified opportunity zones. At least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property. We qualified as
a qualified opportunity fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020. Because we are a qualified opportunity fund certain
of our investors are eligible for favorable capital gains tax treatment on their investments.
All
of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, one or more of our Operating Companies, either directly or
indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (our “Manager”), which is
an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our “Sponsor”).
On
September 30, 2021, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective our registration statement
on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424) (the “Registration Statement”), registering up to $750,000,000 in our Class
A units on a continuous “best efforts” basis, as part of our ongoing initial public offering (the “Primary Offering”),
at an initial price equal to $100.00 per Class A unit.
Our
Transactions with Belpointe REIT, Inc.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), we conducted
an offer to exchange (the “Offer”) each outstanding share of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of Belpointe
REIT, Inc. (“Belpointe REIT”) validly tendered in the Offer for 1.05 of our Class A units, with any fractional Class A units
rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The Offer was completed on September 14, 2021.
Following
the Offer, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Belpointe REIT converted from a corporation into a limited liability
company (the “Conversion”) named BREIT, LLC (“BREIT”). In the Conversion each outstanding share of Common Stock
was converted into a limited liability company interest (an “Interest”) in BREIT. The Conversion was completed on October
1, 2021.
Following
the Conversion, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, LLC (“BREIT
Merger”), our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). In the Merger, each outstanding Interest was converted into the
right to receive the Transaction Consideration. The Merger was completed on October 12, 2021.
17
Table of Contents
Prior
to and in connection with the Offer and Merger, we entered into a series of loan transactions with Belpointe REIT, whereby Belpointe
REIT advanced us an aggregate of $74.0 million evidenced by a series of secured promissory notes (the “Secured Notes”) bearing
interest at an annual rate of 0.14%, due and payable on December 31, 2021, and secured by all of our assets. Upon consummation of the
Merger, BREIT Merger acquired the Secured Notes as successor in interest to Belpointe REIT and, effective October 12, 2021, we entered
into a Release and Cancellation of Indebtedness agreement with BREIT Merger pursuant to the terms of which BREIT Merger cancelled the
Secured Notes and discharged us from all obligations to repay the principal and any accrued interest on the Secured Notes.
Our
Business Outlook
While
market conditions for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties have remained strong over the past several quarters, future economic
conditions and the demand for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties are, and the real estate industry in general is, subject to
uncertainty as a result of a number of factors, including, among others, increasing interest rates, higher rates of inflation, financial
market volatility, general economic uncertainty, increasing energy costs, ongoing supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and the
continuing impact of COVID-19. The potential effect of these and other factors and the projected impact of these and other events on
our business, results of operations and financial performance presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance
and financial results, including the potential to negatively impact our costs of operations, our financing arrangements, the value of
our investments, and the laws, regulations and governmental and regulatory policies applicable to us. As a result, our past performance
may not be indicative of future results.
Given
the evolving nature of these factors, the extent to which they may impact our future performance and financial results will depend on
future developments which remain highly uncertain and, as a result, at this time we are unable to estimate the impact that these factors
may have on our future financial results. Our Manager continuously reviews our investment and financing strategies for optimization and
to reduce our risk in the face of the fluidity of these and other factors.

Investments
in Commercial Real Estate Loans
Norpointe
Secured Loan – On January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the
principal amount of $30.0 million (the “Norpointe Loan”) to Norpointe, LLC (“Norpointe”), an affiliate of our
Chief Executive Officer. Norpointe is the owner of certain real property located at 41 Wolfpit Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 (the
“Norpointe Property”). The Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%,
due and payable on December 31, 2022, and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property. Given our excess cash on hand
as of the year ended December 31, 2021, management viewed the Norpointe transaction as an opportunity to earn a strong rate of return
on that cash by making a low risk—due to the low loan-to-value ratio and first priority mortgage interest—short-term loan
rather than depositing the funds in a lower yielding account pending investment in future developments.
On
June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund requirements, we restructured the Norpointe Loan through
BPOZ 1000 First QOZB, LLC (“BPOZ 1000”), our indirect majority-owned subsidiary, whereby BPOZ 1000 provided a commercial
mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “QOZB Loan”) to Norpointe. Thereafter, on June 28, 2022, Norpointe
repaid the Norpointe Loan in full. The QOZB Loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, due and
payable on June 28, 2023 and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.

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

Revenue
Rental
Revenue
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, rental revenue increased by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared
to the same periods in 2021. This increase is primarily due to an increase in lease revenues as a result of our acquisition of additional
properties partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue as a result of the sole tenant vacating our 1900 Fruitville Road investment.
Expenses
Property
Expenses
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, property expenses consisted of management fees, property operational expenses, real
estate taxes, and utilities and insurance expenses incurred in relation to our acquired investments. For the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2021 property expenses consisted of property expenses, real estate taxes, and utilities and insurance expenses incurred
in relation to our acquired investments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, property expenses increased by $0.8
million and $2.5 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to management fees incurred
following our Registration Statement being declared effective and properties acquired during 2022 and 2021.

General
and Administrative
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively,
as compared to the same period in 2021. General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily
consisted of employee cost sharing expenses (pursuant to our management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement), marketing
expenses, legal, audit, tax and accounting fees. The Company became liable for general and administrative costs in October 2021, in connection
with the first closing of our Offering, and therefore general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021 primarily consisted of employee cost sharing expenses (pursuant to our management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement).
Depreciation
and Amortization
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization increased by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively,
as compared to the same periods in 2021. This increase is primarily due to operating properties acquired during 2022 and 2021.
Other
Income (Loss)
Gain
on Redemption of Equity Investment
On
September 30, 2021, we lent approximately $3.5 million to CMC Storrs SPV, LLC a Connecticut limited liability company (“CMC”),
pursuant to the terms of a promissory note (the “CMC Note”) secured by a Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement. CMC used the
proceeds from the CMC Note to enter into a Redemption Agreement with BPOZ 497 Middle Holding, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company
(“BPOZ 497”), and indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Belpointe REIT, to redeem BPOZ 497’s preferred equity investment
in CMC in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
In
connection with CMC’s redemption of BPOZ 497’s preferred equity investment, we recognized a gain on redemption of equity
investment of $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was no comparable activity for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest
Income
For
the three months ended September 30, 2022, interest income was $0.5 million and is primarily related to interest of $0.4 million earned
on the QOZB Loan and $0.1 million earned on the Visco Loan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest income was $1.5 million
and is primarily related to interest of $0.7 million earned on the Norpointe Loan, $0.4 million earned on the QOZB Loan, $0.2 million
earned on the CMC Loan, and $0.2 million earned on the Visco Loan. For additional details regarding our commercial real estate loans,
see “—Our Investments—Investments in Commercial Real Estate Loans.”
Effective
September 14, 2021, Belpointe REIT lent $24.8 million to Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Belpointe
Investment”), and affiliate of our Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note (the “BI Secured Note”).
Interest accrued on the BI Secured Note at a rate of 5% per annum and was repaid on November 30, 2021, in connection with our acquisition
of 1991 Main. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest income on the BI Secured Note was $0.1 million and was
primarily related to interest earned on the BI Secured Note.
Other
Income (Expense)
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expense) primarily relates to tax fees, sales tax in connection with
the 1991 Main parking garage easement agreement and interest expense on the 900 Eighth Promissory Note. For the three months ended September
30, 2021, other income (expense) relates to the elimination of interest expense on the Secured Notes as a result of the Offer. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2021, other income (expense) relates to Belpointe PREP’s proportionate share of losses from one
unconsolidated joint venture as well as interest expense incurred on the 900 Eighth Promissory Note.
22
Table of Contents
Provision
for Income Taxes
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, provision for income taxes relates to taxes incurred (including penalties and interest)
in connection with our acquisition of Belpointe REIT. As a result of the Conversion of Belpointe REIT into BREIT, Belpointe REIT was
deemed to have been liquidated and its tax year ended on October 1, 2021. Belpointe REIT’s deemed liquidation resulted in a taxable
gain for the year ended October 1, 2021. In connection with the Conversion, we filed an extension for the time to file Belpointe REIT’s
2021 tax returns, however, we did not make an estimated payment at that time as we had not yet calculated Belpointe REIT’s 2021
tax liability.
Net
Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net
loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the share of earnings generated in entities we consolidate in which we do not
own 100% of the equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest increased
by $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2021. This increase primarily relates to losses allocated
to noncontrolling interest holders on our CMC and 900 8th Avenue South investments based upon an allocation of each investment’s
net assets at book value as if the investments were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, including construction and development costs, pay our
offering and operating fees and expenses, pay any distributions that we make to the holders of our units and pay interest on any outstanding
indebtedness that we incur.
Our
offering and operating fees and expenses include, among other things, legal, audit and valuation fees and expenses, federal and state
filing fees, SEC, FINRA and NYSE American filing fees, printing expenses, administrative fees, transfer agent fees, marketing and distribution
fees, the management fee that we pay to our Manager, and fees and expenses related to acquiring, financing, appraising, and managing
our commercial real estate properties. We do not have office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees.
Where
our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have funded, and in the future if they continue to fund, our liquidity and capital
resource needs by advancing us offering and operating fees and expenses, we reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor,
pursuant to the terms of our management agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement. Fees payable and expenses reimbursable to
our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, may be paid, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class
A Units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing. There were no organization or Primary Offering costs incurred
by our Manager and its affiliates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred organization and Primary Offering expenses of $0.1 million
and $0.6 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our Manager and its affiliates, including
our Sponsor, incurred operating expenses of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, on our behalf. During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2021, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred operating expenses of $0.2 million and $0.5
million, respectively, on our behalf.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary entered into a construction management agreement for the
redevelopment of 1991 Main. The construction management agreement contains terms and conditions that are customary for a project of this
type and will be subject to guaranteed maximum price. As of September 30, 2022, we had an unfunded capital commitment of $155.3 million
under the terms of this agreement. We currently anticipate that the remaining funding for construction and soft costs associated with
the redevelopment will be a minimum of $228.7 million.
We
expect to obtain the liquidity and capital resources that we need over the short and long-term from the proceeds of our Primary Offering
and any future offerings that we may conduct, from the advancement of reimbursable fees and expenses by our Manager and its affiliates,
including our Sponsor, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from operations.
For additional details regarding our Primary Offering, see “Part II—Other Information, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Use of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities.”
23
Table of Contents
We
currently anticipate that our available capital resources, including the proceeds from our Primary Offering and the proceeds from any
construction or other loans that we may incur, when combined with cash flow generated from our operations, will be sufficient to meet
our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements over the next 12 months and beyond.
Leverage
We
employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. We believe that careful use of conservatively structured leverage
will help us to achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments.
Our
targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the Company level or on assets under development or redevelopment,
after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized commercial real estate, is between 50-70% of the greater of the cost (before
deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, developing
and redeveloping our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. An example of property-level leverage is a mortgage
loan secured by an individual property or portfolio of properties incurred or assumed in connection with our acquisition of such property
or portfolio of properties. An example of debt at the Company level is a line of credit obtained by us or our Operating Companies.
Our
Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs
of debt and equity capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and
acquisition opportunities or other factors. There is no limit on the amount we may borrow with respect to any individual property or
portfolio.

Cash
flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily relates to the payment of management fees and
employee cost sharing expenses as well as payments for legal, marketing, and accounting fees. These outflows were partially offset by
interest received on our Norpointe Loan, QOZB Loan and CMC Loan during the period. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to operating properties acquired.
Cash
flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 relate primarily to funding of loans receivable in addition
to funding costs for our development properties and investments in real estate. These outflows were partially offset by inflows from
the repayment of the CMC Loan during the period as well as cash acquired as part of the acquisition of CMC ( Note 4 ). Cash flows
used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relates to four properties acquired during the period,
costs paid for our development properties and the funding of a loan receivable, all of which were offset by cash acquired in connection
with the Offer.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates
and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
Our
significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our
unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies and
estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to those disclosed in “Note 3 – Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “Annual Report”),
a copy of which may be accessed here.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and as a result are not required to provide the information
required by this Item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and
current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented,
can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of
assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective controls system, misstatements due to error or fraud
may occur and not be detected.
Our
management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as of the end of
the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered
Sales of Securities
As
of September 30, 2022, we have not sold any other equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Use
of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities
On
September 30, 2021, the Registration Statement covering our Primary Offering of up to $750,000,000 of Class A units was declared effective
by the SEC. We set our initial offering price at $100.00 per Class A unit. No later than the first quarter following the December 31,
2022 year end, and every quarter thereafter, we plan to calculate our net asset value (“NAV”) within approximately 60 days
of the last day of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases below the price per Class
A unit as stated in our prospectus we will adjust the offering price effective as of the first business day following its public announcement.
The adjusted offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded to the nearest dollar) divided by
the number of Class A units outstanding on the Determination Date.
Our
Board, taking into consideration factors such as the investments we hold and the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, may determine
that it is appropriate for us to begin calculating NAV on a quarterly basis prior to the first quarter following the December 31, 2022
year end. We will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC if we determine to calculate NAV prior to the first quarter following the
December 31, 2022 year end and prospectus supplements disclosing quarterly determinations of our NAV per Class A unit for each fiscal
quarter thereafter. If a material event occurs in between quarterly updates of NAV that would cause our NAV to change by 10% or more
from the most recently disclosed NAV, we will disclose the updated price and the reason for the change in prospectus supplement as promptly
as reasonably practicable.
From
the period of October 7, 2021, the date of the first closing held in connection with our Primary Offering, through December 31, 2021,
we issued 2,132,039 Class A units in our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $212.6 million. For the nine months ending
September 30, 2022, we issued 72,300 Class A units in connection with our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $6.6 million.
Together with the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REIT’s prior offerings, as of September 30, 2022, we have raised aggregate
gross offering cash proceeds of $339.4 million.
The
following tables summarize certain information about the Primary Offering proceeds and our use of proceeds, including direct or indirect
