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”) 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
We are the successor in interest to Belpointe REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Belpointe REIT”), incorporated on June 19, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Belpointe REIT in an exchange offer and related conversion and merger transaction.
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 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 units sold in the Follow-on Offering.
In addition, the Follow-on Registration Statement constituted a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424), registering our continuous primary offering of up to $750,000,000 of our Class A units, declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2021 (our “Primary Offering” and, together with our Follow-on Offering, our “Public Offerings”). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we have sold aggregate gross proceeds of $270,013 of Class A units in connection with our Public Offerings. Together with the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REIT, Inc.’s prior offerings, as of March 31, 2025, we have raised aggregate gross offering proceeds of $357.6 million in 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 March 10, 2025, we announced that our NAV as of December 31, 2024 was equal to $119.94 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.
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, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2024 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.
The following table presents the financial data of our consolidated VIEs, which are considered VIE’s as they do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, included in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively (amounts in thousands):
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| (unaudited) | ||
| Assets | ||
| Real estate | ||
| Land | $41,223 | $41,223 |

| Intangible assets | 6,083 | 6,174 |
| Real estate under construction | 211,360 | 190,750 |
| Total real estate | 499,506 | 476,945 |
| Accumulated depreciation and amortization | (7,328) | (5,578) |
| Real estate, net | 492,178 | 471,367 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,974 | 2,566 |
| Other assets | 8,043 | 7,096 |

| Lease liabilities | — | 21 |
| Accounts payable | 15,114 | 13,137 |
| Accrued expenses and other liabilities | 8,829 | 9,690 |
| Total liabilities | $231,266 | $203,278 |
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.
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 the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows (amounts in thousands):
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (unaudited) · (unaudited) | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $22,953 | $24,737 | $29,205 |
| Restricted cash (1) | 4,553 | 4,094 | 12,971 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | $27,506 | $28,831 | $42,176 |
| (1) | Restricted cash is included within Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. |
Segment Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing real estate assets located within qualified opportunity zones. Our operating segments are based on the way we organize and evaluate our business internally. We currently operate intwo reportable segments, commercial and mixed-use, which are further described in Note 12 - Segment Reporting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the Climate Rules, and in April 2025, the intervenor states filed a motion to hold the case in abeyance until the SEC takes further action. We are currently monitoring the litigation and evaluating the impact that the Climate Rules may have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 –Leases
Lessor Accounting
We earn lease revenue from our residential, retail, office, and warehouse properties that are leased to tenants under operating 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):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (unaudited) | (unaudited) | |
| Fixed lease revenues | $1,522 | $241 |
| Variable lease revenues (1) | 181 | 124 |
| Lease revenues (2) (3) | $1,703 | $365 |
| (1) | Includes reimbursements for property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance services. |
| (2) | Excludes lease intangible amortization of less than $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
| (3) | Excludes straight-line rent of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
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, including unbilled rent receivable balances, by reviewing a tenant’s payment history or financial condition, and the age of the receivables. 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, 2025.

Guarantees and Covenants
Each of our indebtedness agreements are secured by the individual underlying real estate investments serving as collateral. In connection with certain agreements, we provided completion guarantees, which, among other things, guarantee completion of the work at each individual construction project, as well as carveout guarantees pursuant to which we guarantee the borrowers obligations with respect to certain non-recourse carveout events, such as “bad acts,” environmental conditions, and violations of certain provisions of the loan documents. We also provided a customary environmental indemnity agreement to the certain lenders pursuant to which we agreed to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless such lenders from and against certain environmental liabilities related to the real estate investments for which they apply.
We are subject to various financial and operational covenants which include, but are not limited to, maintaining liquid assets of no less than $20.0 million and a net worth of no less than $130.0 million. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of our loan covenants.
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.
We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of our interest rate caps (see Note 9 – Derivative Instruments). The valuation of our interest rate caps are prepared by an independent third-party and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the valuation is approximated using market values of similar instruments in active markets.
The following table sets forth the carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt arrangements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively (amounts in thousands):

| (2) | The fair value of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2025 was prepared by an independent third-party using a discounted cash flow analysis, reviewed by management utilizing estimated credit spreads, and observable market interest rates. |
Note 9 –Derivative Instruments
In connection with our variable rate loan agreements (see Note 7 – Debt, Net), we are required to obtain and maintain interest rate protection in the form of interest rate caps during the term of the loans to effectively limit the impact of increases in the one-month SOFR. We are subject to credit risk by the counterparty of these derivative instruments in the event of non-performance under the derivative contracts, however we believe the risk to be minimal.

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 anunlimited number of Class A units,100,000 Class B units andone Class M unit.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we issued 4,215 and 9,304 Class A units, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 3,668,388 and 3,664,173 Class A units, respectively,100,000 Class B units andone Class M unit issued and outstanding.

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.

Note 11 –Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time the Company may become involved in certain non-material litigation, as described below, or other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2025, neitherwenor any of our subsidiaries were subject to any material legal proceedingsnor were we aware of any material legal proceedings threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries.
The Galinn Fund LLC
On December 5, 2024, the Galinn Fund LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Galinn”), filed a complaint in Connecticut State Superior Court naming CMC Storrs SPV, LLC (“CMC”), the holding company for our investment property located at 497-501 Middle Turnpike, Storrs, Connecticut (“497-501 Middle”), as a defendant, alongside Chen Ji, an individual (“Chen”), and two additional entities (the “Guarantors”).
In the complaint Galinn alleges, among other things, that on May 24, 2024, Chen, on behalf of CMC, executed a mortgage note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $3.0 million (the “Loan”), which was secured in part by a mortgage against 497-501 Middle (the “Mortgage”). Galinn further alleges that CMC is in default under both the Note and Mortgage for failure to make payments when due. Galinn is seeking to foreclose on the Mortgage and damages against CMC and the Guarantors.
In March 2020, when we first acquired an equity interest in CMC, Chen was an affiliate of the entity, however, he thereafter exited the investment and is no longer in any way affiliated with or authorized to act on behalf of CMC. We maintain that the Loan was obtained as a result of Chen’s fraud and Galinn’s negligence, and had Galinn done adequate due diligence, or reviewed the publicly available filings on the State of Connecticut’s Business Records website, or even a basic Google search, Chen’s lack of authority would have been readily apparent prior to Galinn having made the Loan.
We dispute any liability in this litigation, believe we have substantial defenses to Galinn’s claims, and are vigorously defending the matter.
Development Projects
In connection with the development of our investment at 1000 First Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida (“Viv”) and Aster & Links, 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, 2025, we have an aggregate unfunded commitment of $42.8 million under these two development projects. As of March 31, 2025, $18.2 million, inclusive of retainage of $13.4 million, was outstanding and payable in connection with these developments.
Note 12 –Segment Reporting
We identify our operating segments based on the way we organize and evaluate our business. As a result of having placed Aster & Links into service and the commencing of operations in 2024, we revised our reportable segments to include the followingtwo distinct operating segments:
| ● | Commercial Segment — which includes properties such as office, retail centers, and warehouses (the “Commercial Segment”). For reporting purposes, we aggregate these asset types into the Commercial Segment given their similar characteristics in property management and leasing. |
| ● | Mixed-use Segment — which includes properties that blend both residential and retail components within a single real estate asset (the “Mixed-use Segment”). For reporting purposes, we aggregate these business components into the Mixed-use Segment due to their functional integration and the fact that they are evaluated as a unified asset. |
Our CODM reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of allocating resources, making decisions and assessing financial performance.
We believe segment net operating income (loss) (“Segment NOI”) provides a useful measure of the performance of our business, as it reflects the core rental operations of our operating real estate. Segment NOI is calculated as rental revenue, less property expenses, excluding corporate level items, such as management fees incurred to our Manager (see Note 4 – Related Party Arrangements), depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and other non-operating items.
The following table details the unaudited results of Segment NOI, reconciled to our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands):
