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, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in members’ capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, 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 audits 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.

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 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.
Capitalization
We
were capitalized with a $ 10,000 investment by our Sponsor. We are offering our 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 – Exchange Offer, Conversion and Merger
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 (the
“Exchange Date”).
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.
59
Table Of Contents
Prior
to and in connection with the Offer and Merger (collectively, the “Transaction”), 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 a 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. See “ Note 5 – Related Party Arrangements ” for additional details regarding the Secured Notes.

We
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 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 the Company through the
issuance of Class A units. Accordingly, the Transaction was accounted for at carrying value prospectively on the Exchange Date.

Table Of Contents
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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 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, our 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 our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates.
Segment
Reporting
We
operate in a single reportable segment which includes the development, redevelopment and managing of commercial real estate properties
located within qualified opportunity zones. Therefore, we aggregate all of our real estate assets into one reportable segment.
62
Table Of Contents
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.
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.

Table Of Contents
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 our consolidated statements of operations.
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. If we
suspend substantially all activities related to the project, we will cease cost capitalization of indirect costs until activities are
resumed. We will not suspend cost capitalization for brief interruptions, interruptions that are externally imposed, or delays that are
inherent in the development process unless there are other circumstances involved that warrant a judgmental decision to cease capitalization.
In addition, 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 Asset s
We
evaluate our tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment when events such as delays or changes in development,
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
the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the asset, 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
and due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of new development and acquisition opportunities, which we deem to be probable, will be capitalized
in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. If the development or acquisition opportunity is not probable or the status of the
project changes such that it is deemed no longer probable, the 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.
64
Table Of Contents
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.
Initial
Direct Cost s
Initial
direct costs are incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. Such costs include lease
incentives and leasing commissions. Costs incurred to obtain tenant leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the term
of the related lease agreement. If the lease is terminated early, the remaining unamortized deferred leasing cost is written off. Initial
direct costs are capitalized in Other assets in our 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. In situations where financing is in place, deferred financing
costs are generally presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability and any unamortized financing costs are generally
charged to earnings when debt is retired before the maturity date. Deposits for pending financings are presented within Other assets
in our consolidated balance sheets.
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 contractual obligations and lender agreements for debt service. The following
table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within our consolidated balance sheets to our
consolidated statements of cash flows (amounts in thousands):

Subscriptions
receivable consists of units that have been issued with subscriptions that have not yet settled. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there
was approximately zero and $ 20.3 million, respectively, in subscriptions that had not yet settled. All of these funds were settled prior
to the filing of this report. Subscriptions receivable are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
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.
65
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.
Non-controlling
Interest
A non-controlling 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 loss 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 loss attributable
to the parent and the noncontrolling interests 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, fees and expenses of our escrow agent and transfer agent. Offering costs, when incurred, will be charged to members’
equity against the gross proceeds of an offering. Our Primary Offering costs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 0.6
million and $ 0.6 million, respectively, of which less than $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively, was unpaid and represents a non-cash
financing activity. We became liable to reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, when the first closing was held
in connection with our Primary Offering, which occurred in October 2021.
Pursuant
to a management agreement by and among the Company, our Operating Companies and our Manager (the “Management Agreement”),
we reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the
selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, whether or not we ultimately acquire or originate the investment. We also reimburse
our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing
services to us. Pursuant to the employee and cost sharing agreement by and among the Company, our Operating Companies, our Manager and
our Sponsor (the “Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement”), we reimburse our Sponsor and our Manager for expenses incurred for
our allocable share of the salaries, benefits and overhead of personnel providing services to us. The expenses are 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.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Below-market
rent liabilities, net were previously presented separately, but are now included within Lease liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets.
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, the availability of credit, higher rates of inflation, the rate of unemployment, ongoing supply chain disruptions,
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 investments and operations.
66
Table Of Contents
Other
Assets and Liabilities
Other
assets in our 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, leasing commission payables and security
deposits payable in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our 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 our consolidated financial statements. 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 our 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.

Accounting Pronouncements
ASC
842 - Leases
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842) , codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, and subsequently amended by ASU
2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 , ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements

Improvements for Lessor , ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) : Codification Improvements , ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit
Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates , ASU 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates for Certain Entities , and ASU No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842):
Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (collectively “ASC 842”), which superseded ASC Topic 840,
Leases . ASC 842 amended the accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on
their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASC 842 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 is effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.
We
adopted ASC 842 for our annual period beginning January 1, 2022 (the “Date of Adoption”) using the modified retrospective
method—applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest
comparative period presented. We elected and applied the optional package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842’s transition
guidance, which allowed us to not reassess whether existing arrangements contain leases, lease classification, and initial direct costs.
The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1,
2022.
67
Table Of Contents
As
a Lessee: Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities
represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception
and determine the classification of the lease at commencement. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the
lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not include renewal options in the lease
term when calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option. Variable lease payments are excluded
from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Lease
expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For
determining the present value of lease payments, we use the discount rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable. As the implicit
rate within our operating leases is generally not determinable, we use an incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to
determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. We determine our
incremental borrowing rate for each lease using estimated baseline borrowing rate plus a spread. The rates are then adjusted for various
factors, including level of collateralization and lease term.
On
the Date of Adoption, we recognized a $ 1.8 million ROU operating asset and a $ 1.2 million corresponding lease liability for the only
ground lease arrangement for which we were a lessee. The recognition of the aforementioned ROU operating asset and lease liability included
the reclassification of our ground lease purchase option, and deferred rent from Intangible Assets in our consolidated balance sheet,
as of the Date of Adoption, to ROU asset (a net reclassification of $ 0.6 million). The settlement date to close on the exercised purchase
option on our ground lease was extended in December 2022 (the “Remeasurement Date”) to April 30, 2023. Accordingly, as of
the remeasurement date on December 29, 2022, we reclassified this contract from an operating lease to a finance lease and recorded a
finance lease liability. See “ Note 4 – Leases ” for additional details regarding the presentation of these amounts in
our consolidated balance sheet.
Additionally,
the Company will not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for any short-term lease (defined as a lease that, at commencement date,
has a term of 12 months of less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain
to exercise) and will recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As
a Lessor: A practical expedient under ASC 842 allows lessors to combine non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common
area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenue), if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for
the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component, and the lease component would
otherwise be classified as an operating lease. We elected this practical expedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real
estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance
costs, we present these amounts within Rental revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. We record amounts reimbursed by the
lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred. As a result, we were not impacted by this change.
Under
ASC 842, lessors are allowed to only capitalize incremental direct leasing costs.
ASC
326 - Financial Instruments — Credit Losses
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). 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. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact in our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting
We
own rental properties which are leased to tenants under operating leases with current expirations ranging from 2023 to 2040, with options
to extend or terminate the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported as Rental revenue in our consolidated statements of operations,
and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed and variable lease payments and (ii) non-lease components which includes
reimbursements of property level operating expenses. We do not separate non-lease components from the related lease components as allowed
under the ASC 842 practical expedient, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and account for the combined component in
accordance with ASC 842.
Fixed
lease revenues represent the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases reported
on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Variable lease revenues include payments based on (i) tenant reimbursements,
(ii) changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease, (iii) percentage rents, or (iv) the operating performance
of the property. Variable lease revenues are not recognized until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred.

These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants, are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. To the extent
any such tenant defaults on its lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such obligations, a liability
for such obligations would be recorded.
We
assess the collectability of substantially all lease payments due by reviewing a tenant’s payment history or financial condition.

Ground
Lease
We
are a lessee under a ground lease in Sarasota, Florida. As discussed in “ Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ”, we applied the optional package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842’s transition
guidance, which permitted us to not reassess the original operating lease classification as of the Date of Adoption. The settlement date
to close on the exercised purchase option on our ground lease was extended in December 2022 to April 30, 2023. Accordingly, as of
the remeasurement date on December 29, 2022, we reclassified this contract from an operating lease to a finance lease and recorded a
financing lease liability of $ 5.0 million for the obligation to make payments under the lease (a non-cash financing activity during the
year ended December 31, 2022) and a financing ROU asset of $ 5.0 million for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease
term, which are included in Lease liabilities and Other assets, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31,
2022, the remaining lease term, including renewal options deemed exercised, is 0.3 years. We applied a discount rate of 8.1 % based on
our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) given the term of the lease, as the rate implicit in the lease is not known. This
IBR was determined based on borrowing rates available to us in the market for a term similar to the applicable lease. During the year
ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $ 0.6 million of lease expense related to this ground lease on one of our development investments
which is included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheet.

Secured
Note Transactions
Prior to and in connection with the Transaction,
we entered into a series of loan transactions with Belpointe REIT whereby: (i) on October 28, 2020, Belpointe REIT advanced us $ 35.0 million
evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “First Secured Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 0.14 % , due and payable on
the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) and secured by all of our assets, (ii) on February 16, 2021, Belpointe REIT advanced us
an additional $ 24.0 million evidenced by a second secured promissory note (the “Second Secured Note”) on the same terms as
the First Secured Note, and (iii) on May 28, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Belpointe REIT to amend the Maturity Date of
the First Secured Note and Second Secured Note to December 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) and Belpointe REIT advanced
us an additional $ 15.0 million evidenced by a third secured promissory note (the “Third Secured Note” and, together with the
First Secured Note and Second Secured Note, the “Secured Notes”) on the same terms as the First Secured Note and Second Secured
Note. We used the proceeds from the Secured Notes to make certain qualified opportunity zone investments, as described in greater detail
throughout “ Note 6 – 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 has been eliminated for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Our
Transactions with Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC
In
furtherance of the Merger, Belpointe REIT sold its interest (the “1991 Main Interest”) in the holding company for 1991
Main Street (“1991 Main”) to Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC (“BI Holding”), an affiliate of our Chief
Executive Officer. As part of the transaction, BI Holding assumed a $ 10.8
million secured loan (the “Acquisition Loan”), and Belpointe REIT provided BI Holding with a $ 24.8
million loan, which was evidenced by a secured promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0 %
and due and payable at maturity on September
14, 2021 (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. On April 22, 2022, we repaid the Acquisition Loan in full. For additional details
regarding our acquisition of the 1991 Main Interest see “ Note 6 – Real Estate,
Net. ”
Our
Transaction with Norpointe, LLC
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.
On
June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund requirements under the Code and related Treasury Regulations,

Restructured Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0 %, due and payable on June 28,
2023, and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property. On December 13, 2022, the Restructured Norpointe Loan including

Pursuant
to the terms of a management agreement between us, our Operating Companies and our Manager (the “Management Agreement”),
we reimburse our Manager, Sponsor and their respective affiliates for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the selection,

all expenses incurred since inception have been paid in cash.
Management
Fee
Subject
to the limitations set forth in our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (our “Operating Agreement”)

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 pay our Manager a quarterly management fee in arrears of one-fourth of 0.75 %. The management fee is 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021, we incurred management fees of $ 2.6 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, which are included in Property expenses in our consolidated
statements of operations.
Development
Fees and Reimbursements
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 acquisition of several parcels, comprising 1.6 -acres of land, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, in October 2020,
and our acquisition of 900 8th Avenue South (as defined and described in greater detail in “ Note 6 – 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.
On
March 29, 2022, we commenced construction on one of our properties located in Sarasota, Florida, and in connection therewith, due to
an increase in scope of work, we agreed to increase the development fee payable to an affiliate of our Sponsor under the terms of
our existing development management agreement from 4.0% to 4.25%. In addition, again due to the increase in scope of work, as well
as due to increases in construction costs, we also revised our construction budget. As a result of the increase in development fees
and revisions to our construction budget, we incurred an additional upfront development fee of $ 2.5
million, which is included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheets. The remaining development fee will
be charged throughout the course of the project in accordance with the terms of the development management agreement.

related to the brokerage services that it provides to us, which commissions vary, are based on a percentage of the premiums that we pay
and are set by the insurer. We have also engaged Belpointe Specialty Insurance to provide us with contract insurance consulting services

Economic
Dependency
Under
various agreements we have engaged our Manager and its affiliates, including in certain cases our Sponsor, to provide certain services
that are essential to us, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition services, supervision of our Primary
Offering and any other offerings that we may 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
and its affiliates, including our Sponsor. In the event that our Manager and its affiliates are unable to provide us with the services

Acquisitions
of Real Estate During 2022
On
January 7, 2022, through an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of our Operating Company, we completed the acquisition of a 1.1 -acre site,
located in Mansfield, Connecticut, for a purchase price of $ 0.3 million, inclusive of transaction costs of less than $ 0.1 million. Upon
closing, the building was leased back to the seller for a term of 12 months. This acquisition was deemed to be an asset acquisition and
all direct transaction costs were capitalized. The purchase price was allocated to land and building of $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million,
respectively. All related assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangibles, were recorded at their relative fair values based
on the purchase price and acquisition costs incurred.
On
May 9, 2022, through an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of our Operating Company, we completed the acquisition of a 0.265 -acre site,

was deemed to be an asset acquisition and all direct transaction costs were capitalized. The purchase price was allocated to land, building,

site located in Mansfield, Connecticut, for an initial capital contribution of $ 3.8
million. As part of the transaction two unaffiliated joint venture partners (the “CMC JV Partners”) were deemed to have
made a combined initial capital contribution of $ 3.1
million (a non-cash financing activity during the year ended December 31, 2022). Following our acquisition of the CMC Interest, we
discovered that one of the CMC JV Partners had misappropriated cash from the other CMC JV Partner’s cash account resulting in
the loss of $ 0.4 million included in Other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2022. The CMC JV Partner agreed to forfeit its interest in CMC as of March 24, 2023. Our acquisition of
the CMC Interest was deemed to be an asset acquisition and all direct transaction costs were capitalized. All related assets and
liabilities, including identifiable intangibles, were recorded at their relative fair values based on the purchase price and

a 3.17 -acre land assemblage, consisting of a few small buildings, parking lots and open lots, located in Nashville, Tennessee (together

8 – Loans Receivable
As
described in greater detail in “ Note 5 - Related Party Arrangements ” and “ Note 6 – Real Estate, Net ”, pursuant
to the terms of the BI Secured Note, Belpointe REIT provided BI Holding with a $ 24.8 million loan, bearing interest at an annual rate
of 5.0 % and due and payable at maturity on September 14, 2022. 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.
On
September 30, 2021, we lent approximately $ 3.5 million to CMC (the “CMC Loan”) pursuant to the terms of a non-recourse promissory
note (the “CMC Note”) secured by a Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement on a property owned by CMC located in Mansfield,
Connecticut. CMC used the proceeds from the CMC Loan to enter into a Redemption Agreement with BPOZ 497 Middle Holding, LLC (“BPOZ
497”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Belpointe REIT, to redeem BPOZ 497’s preferred equity investment in CMC in
furtherance of our Transaction with Belpointe REIT. See “ Note 2 – Exchange Offer, Conversion and Merger, ” for additional
details regarding the Transaction. Interest accrued on the CMC Note at an annual rate of 12.0 %, and was due and payable at maturity on
June 27, 2022 . On June 28, 2022, CMC repaid the CMC Note in full, including accrued interest of $ 0.3 million.
On
January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $ 30.0
million to Norpointe, an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. The Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest
at an annual rate of 5.0 %, was due and payable on December 31, 2022 , and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.
On June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund requirements under the Code and related Treasury Regulations,
we restructured the Norpointe Loan through an indirect majority owned subsidiary. The Restructured Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a
promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0 %, due and payable on June 28, 2023 , and was secured by a first mortgage lien
on the Norpointe Property. On December 13, 2022, the Restructured Norpointe Loan was repaid in full, including accrued interest of less
than $ 0.1 million. See “ Note 5 – Related Party Arrangements ” for additional details regarding our transactions with
Norpointe.

at 801 Visco Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37210 (the “Visco Property”). The Visco Loan was evidenced by a promissory note
bearing interest at an annual rate of 6.0 %, due and payable on February 18, 2023 , and was secured by a first lien deed of trust on the
Visco Property. On December 2, 2022, the Visco Loan was repaid in full, including accrued interest of $ 0.2 million.

Note

Debt,
net consisted of one non-recourse mortgage loan—the Acquisition Loan (as described in greater detail in “ Note 6 – Real Estate, Net, ”)—which was guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer and held with an unrelated third party, and which was
collateralized by the assignment of real property with a carrying value of $ 33.1 million at December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021,
the Acquisition Loan had an outstanding balance of $ 10.8 million (excluding debt discount net of accumulated amortization of less than
$ 0.1 million) and a fixed annual interest rate of 4.75 %. The Acquisition Loan, including outstanding interest of less than $ 0.1 million,
was repaid in full on April 22, 2022.
Note
10 – 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.
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 zero and $ 3.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and had estimated
fair values of zero and $ 3.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and 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 December 31,
2022 and 2021.
Note
11 – Members’ Capital
Our
Operating Agreement generally authorizes our Board to issue an unlimited number of units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation
