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 (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect the current views of Belpointe PREP, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (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 version of these words or
other comparable words or statements that do not relate strictly 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,
2023, a copy of which may be accessed here ,
and, in particular due to changes with respect to borrowing costs as a result of interest rates and other factors, our ability to
raise capital and access debt financing to continue to execute on our investment strategy, inflation, changes in the availability
and price of insurance coverage, construction delays, delays in the lease-up and stabilization of our multifamily properties, fluctuations in occupancy rates and market rents as a result
of competition, local economic factors and other market conditions beyond our control, changes in landlord-tenant laws in the markets
in which we operate and the projected impact of such factors on our
business, financial performance and operating results. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and we
believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and
projections will result or be achieved, and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the
forward-looking statements.
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 U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (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.

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”) is focused
on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate located within “qualified opportunity
zones.” We were formed on January 24, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company and qualify as a partnership and qualified opportunity
fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
At
least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property, and 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 collectively, 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
On
May 9, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective our registration statement on Form
S-11, as amended (File No. 333-271262) (the “Follow-on Registration Statement”), registering the offer and sale of up to
$ 750,000,000 of our Class A units on a continuous “best efforts” basis by any method deemed to be an “at the market”
offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including by offers
and sales made directly to investors or through one or more agents (our “Follow-on Offering”).
In
connection with the Follow-on Registration Statement, we entered into a non-exclusive dealer manager agreement with Emerson Equity LLC
(the “Dealer Manager”), a registered broker-dealer, for the sale of our Class A units through the Dealer Manager. The Dealer
Manager will enter into participating dealer agreements and wholesale agreements with other broker-dealers, referred to as “selling
group members,” to authorize those broker-dealers to solicit offers to purchase our Class A units. We will pay our Dealer Manager
commissions of up to 0.25 %, and the selling group members commissions ranging from 0.25 % to 4.50 %, of the principal amount of Class A
unit sold in the Follow-on Offering. As of March 31, 2024, we have not sold any Class A units in connection with the Follow-on Offering.
In
addition, the Follow-on Registration Statement constitutes a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-11, as
amended (File No. 333-255424), registering the offer and sale of our ongoing initial public offering of up to $ 750,000,000 of our Class
A units, declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2021, of which $ 514,013,330 remained unsold as of March 31, 2024 (our “Primary
Offering” and, together with our Follow-on Offering, our “Public Offerings”).
The
purchase price for Class A units in the Public Offerings will be the lesser of (i) the current net asset value (the “NAV”)
of our Class A units, and (ii) the average of the high and low sale prices of our Class A units on the NYSE American (the “NYSE”)
during regular trading hours on the last trading day immediately preceding the investment date on which the NYSE was open for trading
and trading in our Class A units occurred. Our Manager calculates our NAV within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter,
and any adjustments take effect as of the first business day following its public announcement. On February 29, 2024, we announced that
our NAV as of December 31, 2023 was equal to $ 100.88 per Class A unit.
Note
2 – 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”) for interim financial information, and Article
8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
5
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 March 31, 2024,
and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2023 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 consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries.
The portion of members’ capital 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 interests 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.
6
The
following table presents the financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024
and December 31, 2023, respectively (amounts in thousands):

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 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 the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
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 to reduce
the carrying value of the asset to fair value, calculated as the discounted net cash flows of the property. In circumstances where the
highest and best use of a property is the fee simple value of vacant land, we compare book value of the property to the appraised value
of the land. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the appraised value of the land, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the
carrying value to the appraised value.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07,
S e gment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07
is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2024, and requires single reporting entities to comply with the expanded reportable segment disclosures outlined in the
ASU. The expanded reportable segment disclosures are intended to enhance certain disclosures surrounding significant segment expenses.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of
Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors (the “Climate Rules”). The Climate Rules require quantitative and qualitative
disclosure of certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports filed. These disclosures include financial
statement footnote disclosure related to the effects of certain severe weather events and other natural conditions. In April 2024, the
SEC issued an order staying the Climate Rules pending completion of a judicial review of certain petitions challenging their validity.
If the stay is lifted, the effective dates remain unchanged and we remain a smaller reporting company, emerging growth company or non-accelerated
filer, the Climate Rules will be effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of the
Climate Rules on our consolidated financial statements.
Note
3 – Leases
Lessor
Accounting
We
own rental properties which are leased to tenants under operating leases with current expirations ranging from 2024 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 the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and account for the combined component.
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.
The
following table summarizes the components of lease revenues (amounts in thousands):

In
certain of our leases, the tenant is obligated to pay the real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other expenses directly to the vendor.
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.
Changes to collectability are recognized as a current period adjustment to rental revenue. We have assessed the collectability of all
recorded lease revenues as probable as of March 31, 2024.

either in cash, by issuance of our Class A units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing. As of March 31,
2024, 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”)
and the oversight of our Board, our Manager is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for the origination, selection,
evaluation, structuring, acquisition, financing and development of our commercial real estate properties, real estate-related assets,
including but not limited to commercial real estate loans, and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate-related companies,
as well as private equity acquisitions and investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified
opportunity zone businesses.
Pursuant
to the Management Agreement, we pay our Manager a quarterly management fee in arrears of one-fourth of 0.75 %. The management fee is based
on our NAV in effect at the end of the quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, we incurred management fees of $ 0.7
million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, which are included in Property expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

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.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, we incurred development fees earned during the construction phase of $ 0.8 million and
$ 0.7 million, respectively. Such development fees are included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance

ownership interest (collectively, the “Nashville DMAs”). The aggregate development fees payable under the Nashville DMAs
are equal to 55 % of 4.5 % of the development budget or hard costs, as applicable. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred
$ 0.4 million of development fees related to the Nashville DMAs, which were capitalized to Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheets, with the remaining development fees payable upon our achieving various milestones throughout the development

Guarantees
and Covenants
Both
the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan and 1991 Main Construction Loan (together, the “1991 Main Loans”) are secured by our investment
in 1991 Main Street, Sarasota, Florida (“1991 Main”). In connection with the 1991 Main Loans, we provided carveout guarantees
to the Mezzanine Lender and the Mortgage Lender (together, the “1991 Main Lenders”) pursuant to which we guaranteed the borrowers
obligations to the 1991 Main Lenders with respect to certain non-recourse carveout events, such as “bad acts,” environmental
conditions, and violations of certain provisions of the loan documents (the “Guarantees”). The Guarantees contain financial
covenants requiring that we maintain liquid assets of no less than $20.0 million and a net worth of no less than $130.0 million. As of
March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Guarantees.
We
also provided a customary environmental indemnity agreement to the 1991 Main Lenders pursuant to which we agreed to protect, defend,
indemnify, release and hold harmless the 1991 Main Lenders from and against certain environmental liabilities related to 1991 Main.
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.
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.
Except
as described below, we estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values
as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Recurring
Fair Value Measurements
Our interest rate cap is
measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 9 – Derivative Instruments for further details on the inputs used). The
valuation of our interest rate cap is prepared by an independent third-party and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy, as the valuation is approximated using market values of similar instruments in active markets.
Note
9 – Derivative Instruments
In
connection with the 1991 Main Construction Loan, we were required to obtain and maintain interest rate protection in the form of an
interest rate cap during the term of the loan to effectively limit the impact of increases in the one-month SOFR (the “1991
Main Interest Rate Cap”). We are subject to credit risk by the counterparty of this derivative instrument in the event of
non-performance under the derivative contract, however we believe the amount to be minimal.

10 – Members’ Capital
Our
Operating Agreement generally authorizes our Board to issue an unlimited number of units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation
rights relating to such units for consideration or for no consideration and on the terms and conditions as determined by our Board, in
its sole discretion, and in most cases without the approval of our members. These additional securities may be used for a variety of
purposes, including in future offerings to raise additional capital and acquisitions. Our Operating Agreement currently authorizes the
issuance of an unlimited number of Class A units, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we issued 9,304 and zero Class A units, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December
31, 2023, there were 3,631,703 and 3,622,399 Class A units, respectively, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit issued and outstanding.
Class
A units
Upon
payment in full of any consideration payable with respect to the initial issuance of our Class A units, the holder thereof will not be
liable for any additional capital contributions to the Company. Holders of Class A units are not entitled to preemptive, redemption or
conversion rights. Holders of our Class A units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters submitted to a vote of our members.
Matters must generally be approved by a majority (or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled
to be cast.
Holders
of our Class A units share ratably in any distributions we make, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on distributions
and to any restrictions on distributions imposed by the terms of any preferred units we issue.
Upon
our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, after payment of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and holders of preferred units,
if any, holders of our Class A units are entitled to receive our remaining assets available for distribution.
Class
B units
All
of our Class B units are currently held by our Manager and were issued on September 14, 2021. Holders of our Class B units are not entitled
to preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. Holders of our Class B units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters submitted
to a vote of our members. Matters must generally be approved by a majority (or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality)
of the votes entitled to be cast.

Note
11 – Commitments and Contingencies
As
of March 31, 2024, we were not subject to any material litigation nor were we aware of any material litigation threatened against us.
In
connection with the development of our investment at 1000 First Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida (“1000 First”) and
1991 Main, we have entered into separate construction management agreements for each asset which contain terms and conditions that
are customary for the related scope of work. As of March 31, 2024, we have an aggregate unfunded commitment of $ 77.3
million under these two development projects. As of March 31, 2024, $ 26.4
million, inclusive of retainage of $ 12.0
million, is outstanding and payable in connection with these developments.
We are in the
process of obtaining a first mortgage construction loan to fund the remaining construction and soft costs associated with the
development of 1000 First (the “1000 First Construction Loan”). However, due to
our liquidity constraints caused in part by our obligation to maintain Reserves in connection with the 1991 Main
Construction Loan and 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan, if we do not finalize the 1000 First Construction Loan prior to May 31, 2024, we will stop or delay construction until we can obtain additional financing.
Note
12 – Subsequent Events
Management
has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated
financial statements and has concluded that, except as set forth below, all such events or transactions that would require recognition
or disclosure have been recognized or disclosed.
Through
the date of this Form 10-Q, we drew down an additional $ 8.2 million on the 1991 Main Construction Loan.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), unless context otherwise requires, references to “we,”
“us,” “our” “Belpointe” or the “Company” refer to Belpointe PREP, LLC, its operating
companies, Belpointe PREP OC, LLC, and Belpointe PREP TN OC, LLC (each an “Operating Company” and collectively, the “Operating
Companies”), and each of the Operating Companies’ subsidiaries, collectively.
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, 2023 (our “Annual Report”) filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2024, 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
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors”
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. We have been treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes since our tax year ended December 31,
2020, and we currently intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to meet the requirements for classification as a partnership. 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
May 9, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared effective our registration statement on Form
S-11, as amended (File No. 333-271262) (the “Follow-on Registration Statement”), registering the offer and sale of up to
$750,000,000 of our Class A units on a continuous “best efforts” basis by any method deemed to be an “at the
market” offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including by offers and sales made directly to
investors or through one or more agents.
In
connection with the Follow-on Registration Statement, we entered into a non-exclusive dealer manager agreement with Emerson Equity LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), a registered broker-dealer,
for the sale of our Class A units through the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager will enter into participating dealer agreements and
wholesale agreements with other broker-dealers, referred to as “selling group members,” to authorize those broker-dealers
to solicit offers to purchase our Class A units. We will pay our Dealer Manager commissions of up to 0.25%, and the selling group members
commissions ranging from 0.25% to 4.50%, of the principal amount of Class A unit sold in the Follow-on Offering. As of March 31, 2024,
we have not sold any Class A units in connection with the Follow-on Offering.
In
addition, the Follow-on Registration Statement constitutes a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-11, as
amended (File No. 333-255424), registering the offer and sale of our ongoing initial public offering of up to $750,000,000 of our
Class A units, declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2021, of which $514,013,330 remained unsold as of March 31, 2024
(our “Primary Offering” and, together with our Follow-on Offering, our “Public Offerings”).
The
purchase price for Class A units in our Public Offerings will be the lesser of (i) the net asset value (“NAV”) of our
Class A units, and (ii) the average of the high and low sale prices of our Class A units on the NYSE American (the
“NYSE”) during regular trading hours on the last trading day immediately preceding the investment date on which the NYSE
was open for trading and trading in our Class A units occurred. Our Manager calculates our NAV within approximately 60 days of the
last day of each quarter, and any adjustments take effect as of the first business day following its public announcement. On
February 29, 2024, we announced that our NAV as of December 31, 2023 was equal to $100.88 per Class A unit.

Our
Business Outlook
Market
conditions for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties in the geographic markets in which we operate remained strong over the
past several quarters. Future economic conditions and the demand for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties in the geographic
markets in which we operate are, and the real estate industry in general is, subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of
factors, including, among others, construction delays, delays in the lease-up and stabilization of properties, unemployment rates,
changes with respect to borrowing costs as a result of interest rates and other factors, inflation, fluctuations in occupancy rates and market rents, financial market volatility, general economic uncertainty, increasing energy costs, supply chain
disruptions and labor shortages. 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 certain 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.
Our
Investments
As
of the date of this Form 10-Q, our investment portfolio consisted of the following multifamily and mixed-use rental properties:
1991
Main Street – Sarasota, Florida (also known as “Aster & Links”) – 1991 Main Street (“1991 Main”
or “Aster & Links”) is a 5.13-acre site which was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $20.7 million, inclusive
of transaction costs and deferred financing fees. On August 24, 2023, we acquired an adjacent land parcel that was previously subject
to a ground lease for a purchase price of $4.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs.
1991
Main is being developed as two 10 story buildings with over 900 garage and surface-level parking spaces marketed under the name “Aster
& Links.” Aster & Links will feature 424-apartments, including a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments,
four-bedroom townhome-style penthouse apartments, and six guest suite apartments, with approximately 51,000 square feet of retail space
located on the first level. In May 2023, we announced the signing of a definitive lease agreement with Sprouts Farmers Market (“Sprouts”),
one of the fastest growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural and organic food in the United States. Sprouts will occupy approximately
23,000 square feet of retail space at Aster & Links.
Aster
& Links will include a clubroom, fitness room, center courtyard with heated saltwater pool and roof top amenities including a community
room and a private dining area for private events as well as outdoor grills and seating. In addition, each building will have its own
leasing office.
Aster
& Links is situated in downtown Sarasota, at the intersection of Main Street and Links Avenue, and is located in a high foot traffic
area next to a number of popular retail establishments. Sarasota’s metro area economy is the largest of the southwest Florida markets
and has had very strong gains in jobs, population, and home values over the past year.
1991
Main Construction Management Agreement
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a construction management agreement for the development
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 a guaranteed maximum price (a “GMP”). We currently anticipate that the funding for construction and soft costs
associated with the development will be a minimum of $185.8 million, inclusive of the GMP, and are building to an estimated unlevered
yield of greater than 6%. The property is currently under construction, and we expect initial occupancies to occur in the first half
of 2024. Construction on both buildings is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
1991
Main Construction Loan
On
May 12, 2023, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary (the “Mortgage Borrower”) entered into a variable-rate construction
loan agreement (the “1991 Main Construction Loan Agreement”) for up to $130.0 million in principal amount (the “1991
Main Construction Loan”) with Bank OZK (the “Mortgage Lender”), which is secured by 1991 Main and which matures on
May 12, 2027, subject to a one-year extension option. Advances under the 1991 Main Construction Loan bear interest at a per annum rate
equal to the one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 3.45%, subject to a minimum all-in per annum rate of 8.51%,
and may be used to fund the development of 1991 Main. The 1991 Main Construction Loan has an initial maturity date of May 12, 2027 and
contains a one-year extension option, subject to certain restrictions. As of March 31, 2024, we have drawn down $50.0 million on the
1991 Main Construction Loan.
18
1991
Main Interest Rate Cap

required under the terms of the 1991 Main Construction Loan Agreement, the Mortgage Borrower also entered into an interest rate cap agreement,
effective July 10, 2023 (“1991 Main Interest Rate Cap”), which, as of March 31, 2024, had a notional amount of approximately
$95.5 million a one-month SOFR rate based strike price of 5.07%, and which is due to mature on July 10, 2024. The notional amount of
the 1991 Main Interest Rate Cap increases in accordance with the schedule set forth in the interest rate cap agreement up to a maximum
notional amount of $112.5 million.
1991
Main Mezzanine Loan
On
January 31, 2024, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) entered into a mezzanine loan agreement,
for up to $56.4 million in principal amount (the “1991 Main Mezzanine Loan”) with Southern Realty Trust Holdings, LLC (the
“Mezzanine Lender”). The 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum and is secured by our investment
in 1991 Main. Advances under the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan may be used to reimburse us for certain costs and expenses incurred in relation
to, and to fund the continued development of, 1991 Main. The 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan has an initial maturity date of May 12, 2027 and
contains a one-year extension option, subject to certain restrictions.
In
connection with the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan, we are required to maintain an interest reserve and carry reserve for purposes of paying
accrued but unpaid interest on the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan and interest, principal and other obligations under the 1991 Main Construction
Loan (the “Reserves”). We also provided the Mezzanine Lender with (i) a completion guaranty, which, among other things, guarantees
completion of the work on 1991 Main, and (ii) a carveout guaranty, which, among other things, indemnifies the Mezzanine Lender for losses
resulting from certain “bad acts,” insolvency, environmental conditions, violations of the terms of the 1991 Main Mezzanine
Loan and certain provisions of the 1991 Main Construction Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Mezzanine Guarantees”). Similar
to the Carveout Guaranty we provided to the Mortgage Lender, the Mezzanine Guarantees contain financial covenants requiring that we maintain
liquid assets of no less than $20.0 million and a net worth of no less than $130.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, the principal balance
of the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan was $41.8 million.

County announced a joint plan to build a brand new approximately 30,000 seat ballpark on the 86-acre site where the team’s current
stadium sits. The project will include nearly 8 million square feet of mixed-use development and result in over $6.5 billion in investment
in the Gas Plant District over the next 20 years.
19

St. Petersburg is the 5th largest city in Florida and the 88th largest city in the United States and has an average annual population
growth rate of approximately 0.82% since 2020. Downtown St. Petersburg is one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater

sporting events, shopping, bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA is home to more than 20
corporate headquarters, seven of which are Fortune 1000 companies. The St. Petersburg area also includes a branch of St. Petersburg College

Revenue
Rental
Revenue
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, rental revenue decreased by $0.2 million. This decrease
is primarily due to lower below-market rent intangible amortization as certain intangible liabilities became fully amortized subsequent
to March 31, 2023.
Expenses
Property
Expenses
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, property expenses consisted of management fees, property operational expenses, real estate
taxes, and utilities and insurance expenses incurred in relation to our property acquisitions. During the three months ended March 31,
2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, property expenses increased by $0.2 million. This increase is primarily due to property
general and administrative expenses incurred at Aster & Links in the current year period, whereas there was no such expenses in the
prior year period.
General
and Administrative
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of employee cost sharing expenses
(pursuant to our m anagement agreement and employee and cost sharing agreement), marketing expenses, legal, audit, tax and accounting
fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, general and administrative expenses decreased
by $0.2 million. This decrease is primarily due to lower legal fees and marketing expenses, partially offset by higher tax professional
fees.
22
Interest
Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest expense was
comprised of interest related costs associated with our debt obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 interest expense
totaled $0.7 million, due to gross interest expense incurred on our outstanding loan balances of $1.6 million, and the impact of amortization
of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $0.4 million, partially offset by capitalized interest fees and expenses of $1.3 million. Please see “ Note 7– Debt ” in our consolidated
financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information of our debt arrangements.
Depreciation
and Amortization
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million.
This decrease is primarily due to lower in-place lease intangible amortization as certain intangible assets became fully amortized subsequent
to March 31, 2023.
Impairment
of Real Estate
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $0.6 million in relation to one of our real estate assets located
in Nashville, Tennessee, based on our conclusion that the estimated fair market value of the real estate asset was lower than the carrying
value, and as a result, we reduced the carrying value to the estimated fair market value.
Other
income (loss)
Interest
Income
Interest
income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, totaled $0.1 million, which was comprised of interest earned from cash balances held
in interest bearing bank accounts.
Other
Expense
Other
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was comprised of a unrealized loss in connection with the 1991 Main Interest Rate
Cap. Please see “ Note 9 – Derivative Instruments ” in our consolidated financial statements in this
Form 10-Q for additional information.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, including construction and development costs, pay our
Public Offering and operating fees and expenses, pay any distributions that we make to the holders of our units and pay interest on our
outstanding indebtedness.
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 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 m anagement 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 Public Offering costs incurred
by our Manager and its affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. During the three months ended March
31, 2024 and 2023, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred operating expenses of $0.7 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, on our behalf.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary entered into a construction management agreement for the
development of 1991 Main. For additional details regarding 1991 Main, see “ —Our
Investments—1991 Main Street – Sarasota Florida (Astor & Links) .” 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 March 31, 2024, we had an unfunded capital commitment totaling $51.0 million under the terms of this agreement as well as other construction related commitments for the development of 1991 Main. As of
the date of this Form 10-Q, we currently anticipate that the remaining funding for construction and soft costs associated with the
development of 1991 Main will be a minimum of $65.3 million (inclusive of the aforementioned unfunded capital
commitment).
During
the year ended December, 31, 2023, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary entered into a variable-rate
construction loan agreement for up to $130.0 million in principal amount to fund the
development of 1991 Main. Advances under the 1991 Main Construction Loan bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the one-month term SOFR plus
3.45%, subject to a minimum all-in per annum rate of 8.51%. The 1991 Main Construction Loan has an initial maturity date of May 12, 2027 and contains
a one-year extension option, subject to certain restrictions. As of March 31, 2024, we have drawn down $50.0 million on the 1991 Main
Construction Loan. For additional details regarding the 1991 Main Construction Loan, see “ —Our Investments—1991 Main Street – Sarasota Florida (Astor & Links) .”
23
On
January 31, 2024, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary entered into a mezzanine loan agreement for up to $56.4 million in
principal amount. The 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum, and is secured by 1991 Main. In
connection with the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan, we are required to maintain an interest reserve and carry reserve for purposes of
paying accrued but unpaid interest on the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan and interest, principal and other obligations under the 1991 Main
Construction Loan. As of March 31, 2024, the 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan balance was $41.8 million. Proceeds under the 1991 Main
Mezzanine Loan may be used to reimburse the Company for certain costs and expenses incurred in relation to, and to fund the
continued development of, 1991 Main. The 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan has an initial maturity date of May 12, 2027 and contains a
one-year extension option, subject to certain restrictions. For additional details regarding the 1991 Main Interest Rate Cap and
1991 Main Mezzanine Loan, see “ —Our Investments—1991 Main Street – Sarasota
Florida (Astor & Links) .”
In
April 2023, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary entered into a construction management agreement for the development of 1000 First.
For additional details regarding 1000 First, see “ —Our Investments—1000 First Avenue North and 900 First Avenue North – St. Petersburg, Florida (Viv) .” 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 March 31, 2024, we had an unfunded capital commitment
of $26.3 million under the terms of this agreement. We currently anticipate the remaining funding for construction and soft costs associated
with the development of 1000 First will be a minimum of approximately $110.5 million (inclusive of the aforementioned unfunded capital
commitment), and we are in the process of obtaining a first mortgage construction loan to fund these costs (the “1000 First Construction Loan”). However, due to our liquidity constraints caused in part by our obligation to maintain Reserves in connection with the 1991 Main Construction Loan and 1991 Main Mezzanine Loan, if we do not finalize
the 1000 First Construction Loan prior to May 31, 2024, we will stop or delay construction until we can obtain additional financing.
We
expect to continue to obtain the liquidity and capital resources that we need over the short and long-term from the proceeds of our
Public Offerings 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 the proceeds of secured or unsecured financing from banks and other lenders, and
from any undistributed cash flow generated from operations. For additional details regarding our Public Offerings, see “ —Overview ”
and “ Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Use of Proceeds from
Registered Sales of Securities .”
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.

Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered
Sales of Securities
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Use
of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities
On
September 30, 2021, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424), registering
the offer and sale of our ongoing initial public offering of up to $750,000,000 of our Class A units on a continuous “best efforts”
basis at an initial price of $100.88 per Class A unit, of which $514,013,330 remained unsold as of March 31, 2024.
On
May 9, 2023, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-271262), registering the offer
and sale of up to $750,000,000 of our Class A units on a continuous “best efforts” basis by any method deemed to be an “
at the market” offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including by offers and sales made directly to investors
or through one or more agents. In addition, the Follow-on Registration Statement constitutes a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement for our Primary Offering.
In
connection with the Follow-on Registration Statement, we entered into a non-exclusive dealer manager agreement with the Dealer Manager
for the sale of our Class A units through the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager will enter into participating dealer agreements and
wholesale agreements with other broker-dealers, referred to as “selling group members,” to authorize those broker-dealers
to solicit offers to purchase our Class A units. We will pay our Dealer Manager commissions of up to 0.25%, and the selling group members
commissions ranging from 0.25% to 4.50%, of the principal amount of a Class A unit sold in the Public Offerings. As of March 31, 2024,
we have not sold any Class A units in connection with the Follow-on Offering.
The
purchase price for Class A units in our Public Offerings will be the lesser of (i) the current NAV of our Class A units, and (ii) the
average of the high and low sale prices of our Class A units on the NYSE during regular trading hours on the last trading day immediately
preceding the investment date on which the NYSE was open for trading and trading in our Class A units occurred. As of December 31, 2023
the assumed NAV of our Class A units was equal to $100.88 per Class A unit. Our Manager will calculate our NAV within approximately 60
days of the last day of each quarter and any adjustments will take effect as of the first
business day following its public announcement.
We
will file a prospectus supplement with the SEC disclosing quarterly determinations of our NAV per Class A unit. Additionally, 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,
2023, we issued 2,372,289 Class A units in our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $233.5 million. During the three
months ended months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 9,304 Class A units in connection with our Public Offerings. Together with the
gross proceeds raised in prior offerings by our predecessor in interest, Belpointe REIT, Inc., as of March 31, 2024, we have raised
aggregate gross offering cash proceeds of $354.3 million.
