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, in particular due to the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the projected impact of COVID-19 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.

  limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;
     
  intense competition in the real estate market that may limit our ability to attract or retain tenants or re-lease space;
     
  defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
     
  increased interest rates and operating costs;
     
  our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;

  our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of Belpointe, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (our “Sponsor”), Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Manager”) and their affiliates;
     
  expected rates of return provided to investors;
     
  the ability of our Sponsor, Manager and their affiliates to source, originate and service our investments, and the quality and performance of these investments;
     
  legislative or regulatory changes impacting our business or our investments;
     
  changes in business conditions and the market value of our investments, including changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, operator or borrower defaults or bankruptcy, and generally the increased risk of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;
     
  our ability to implement effective conflicts of interest policies and procedures among the various real estate investment programs sponsored by our Sponsor;
     
  our compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and other laws;
     
  difficulty in successfully managing our growth, including integrating new assets into our existing systems; and
     
  changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or policy changes from standard-setting bodies such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Internal Revenue Service, the New York Stock Exchange American and other authorities that we are subject to.

BELPOINTE PREP, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Business Purpose

 

Belpointe PREP, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed on January 24, 2020 as a Delaware limited liability company. We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate located within “qualified opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets will consist of qualified opportunity zone property, which enables us to be classified as a “qualified opportunity fund” as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

We commenced principal operations on October 28, 2020. All of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, one or more operating companies (each an “Operating Company” and together, the “Operating Companies”), either directly or indirectly through their subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (the “Sponsor”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Manager will be responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf.

 

Note 2 – Exchange Offer

 

Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 21, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, BREIT Merger, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BREIT Merger”), and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Belpointe REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Belpointe REIT”), BREIT Merger commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to exchange each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Belpointe REIT validly tendered in the Offer for 1.05 Class A units (the “Class A Units”) representing limited liability company interests of the Company, with any fractional Class A Units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The purpose of the Offer was for the Company to acquire control of the entire equity interest in Belpointe REIT while at the same time preserving the status of Belpointe REIT’s investments as qualified opportunity zone investments, and the Company’s status as a qualified opportunity fund.

 

The Offer expired on June 18, 2021. As of the expiration of the Offer, 757,098 shares of Belpointe REIT’s Common Stock had been validly tendered, representing 63.62% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the Offer was satisfied because the number of shares of Common Stock of Belpointe REIT validly tendered represented at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following consummation of the Offer. In connection with the Offer and Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), we filed a registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-255427), with the SEC (the “Form S-4”). The Form S-4 was declared effective on September 13, 2021. On September 14, 2021, BREIT Merger accepted for exchange all of the shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Offer”) validly tendered in the Offer and, effective September 14, 2021 (the “Exchange Date”), Belpointe REIT completed the QOZB Sale (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

Concurrently with the Form S-4, we also filed a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424) with the SEC to register a continuous primary offering of up to $750,000,000 in our Class A Units (the “Primary Offering”). The Primary Offering was declared effective on September 30, 2021.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a controlling financial interest in Belpointe REIT, and therefore consolidated Belpointe REIT and its subsidiaries. We accounted for the Offer as an asset reorganization of entities under common control due to the fact that BREIT Merger holds a majority of the voting ownership interest of Belpointe REIT, and the majority of the entity’s shares are voted in concert. Accordingly, we accounted for the Offer at carrying value prospectively from September 14, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not own 100% of the equity interests in Belpointe REIT and therefore recorded a noncontrolling interest for the Belpointe REIT shares that were not tendered in the Offer.

 

The following table summarizes the components of the Common Stock exchanged as of September 30, 2021:

 

Belpointe REIT Common Stock tendered (1)     757,098  
Exchange ratio     1.05

Note 3 – Capitalization

 

We were capitalized with a $10,000 investment by our Sponsor and its affiliate. We are offering the Class A Units in our Primary Offering directly to investors and not through any underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents who would be paid commissions by us or any of our affiliates. In the future, however, we may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents to participate in our Primary Offering or other primary offerings. The amount of selling commissions or dealer-manager fees that we or our investors would pay to such underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents will depend on the terms of their engagement. Our Primary Offering is a “best efforts” offering. We plan to undertake closings on a rolling basis on the last business day of each calendar quarter, we may, however, in our sole discretion, choose to conduct more frequent closings.

 

We set our initial 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 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), for interim financial information, and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the 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. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any other interim period or for the entire year. Our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020. The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to September 30, 2020, and certain related notes thereto, are unaudited, have not been reviewed, and may not include year-end adjustments necessary to make those unaudited consolidated financial statements comparable to audited results.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portion of members’ capital (deficit) in controlled subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented in noncontrolling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

We have evaluated our economic interest in entities to determine if they are deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and whether the entities should be consolidated. An entity is a VIE if it has any one of the following characteristics: (i) the entity does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The distinction between a VIE and other entities is based on the nature and amount of the equity investment and the rights and obligations of the equity investors. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered VIEs unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights.

 

Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review all agreements and contractual arrangements to determine whether (i) we or another party have any variable interests in an entity, (ii) the entity is considered a VIE, and (iii) which variable interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether a party (a) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (b) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we considered three entities and one entity, respectively, to be VIEs, which are consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents the financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 reconsideration events that require us to reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether it should be consolidated.

 

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.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are permitted to use an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases, which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. As an emerging growth company, we are permitted, and have elected, to use an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. For private companies, ASC 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global economy and normal business operations worldwide, and the duration and severity of the effects are currently unknown. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 situation precludes any forecast as to its ultimate impact. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance and financial results, such as the potential to negatively impact financing arrangements, increase costs of operations, change laws or regulations, and add uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. We are closely monitoring the potential impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business.

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.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any significant financial instruments. We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Note 9 – Members’ Capital (Deficit)

 

Our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (our “Operating Agreement”) generally authorizes our Board to issue an unlimited number of units and preferred units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to such units for consideration or for no consideration and on the terms and conditions as determined by our Board in its sole discretion without the approval of any members. These additional securities may be used for a variety of purposes, including in future offerings to raise additional capital and acquisitions. Our Operating Agreement currently authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of Class A Units, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit. As of September 30, 2021, there are 795,108 Class A Units, 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. Class A Units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters submitted to a vote of our members. Matters must generally be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast.

 

Holders of Class A Units share ratably in any distributions we make, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on distributions and to any restrictions on distributions imposed by the terms of any preferred units we issue.

 

Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, after payment of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and holders of preferred units, if any, holders of Class A Units are entitled to receive our remaining assets available for distribution.

 

Class B units

 

All of our Class B units are held by our Manager and were issued on September 14, 2021, upon effectiveness of our Form S-4. Class B units are not entitled to preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. Class B units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters submitted to a vote of our members. Matters must generally be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast.

 

12
 

 

Holders of our Class B units are entitled to share ratably as a class in 5% of any gains recognized by or distributed to the Company or recognized by or distributed from our Operating Companies or any subsidiary or other entity to the Company, regardless of whether the holders of our Class A Units have received a return of their capital. The allocation and distribution rights that the holders of our Class B units are entitled to may not be amended, altered or repealed, and the number of authorized Class B units may not be increased or decreased, without the consent of our Manager. In addition, our Manager will continue to hold the Class B units even if it is no longer our manager.

 

Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, after payment of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and holders of preferred units, if any, holders of Class B units will be entitled to receive any accrual of gains or distributions otherwise distributable pursuant to the terms of the Class B units, regardless of whether the holders of our Class A Units have received a return of their capital.

 

Class M units

Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were available for issuance require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and has concluded that all such events or transactions that would require recognition or disclosure have been recognized or disclosed.

 

Conversion and Merger

 

On October 1, 2021, pursuant to the conditions in the Merger Agreement, Belpointe REIT converted from a corporation into BREIT, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“BREIT”), and in connection with the conversion each outstanding share of Belpointe REIT Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company interest (an “Interest”) of BREIT, LLC.

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, a Delaware limited liability company, its operating companies, Belpointe PREP OC, LLC, a Delaware limited company, and Belpointe PREP TN OC, LLC, a Delaware limited company (each an “Operating Company” and, together, the “Operating Companies”), and each of the Operating Companies’ subsidiaries, taken together.

 

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 statement appearing in our prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2021 (our “Prospectus”), a copy of which may be accessed here. As discussed in the section titled “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 Prospectus.

 

Overview

 

Belpointe is the first and only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability company and intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund, as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), 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.

 

Belpointe is focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate located within “qualified opportunity zones.” We also anticipate identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing a wide range of commercial real estate properties located throughout the United States and its territories, including, but not limited to, real estate-related assets, such as commercial real estate loans and mortgages, and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate-related companies, as well as making private equity acquisitions and investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses, with the goal of increasing distributions and capital appreciation.

 

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”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our Manager is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis. A team of investment and asset management professionals acting through our Manager makes all decisions regarding the selection, negotiation, financing and disposition of our investments, subject to the limitations in our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement. Our Manager also provides asset management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our invested capital.

 

Our Transaction with Belpointe REIT, Inc.

 

On April 21, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Belpointe REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Belpointe REIT”) and related party to our Sponsor. The purpose of the transaction was for us to acquire control of, and ultimately, the entire equity interest in, Belpointe REIT.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we, through BREIT Merger, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BREIT Merger”) and our wholly owned subsidiary, commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to exchange each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Belpointe REIT validly tendered in the Offer for 1.05 Class A units (the “Class A Units”) representing limited liability company interests of the Company, with any fractional Class A Units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The Offer expired on June 18, 2021. As of the expiration of the Offer 757,098 shares of Common Stock had been validly tendered, representing 63.62% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the Offer was satisfied because the number of shares of Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer represented at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following consummation of the Offer. In connection with the Offer and Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), we filed a registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-255427), with the SEC (the “Form S-4”). The Form S-4 was declared effective on September 13, 2021. On September 14, 2021, BREIT Merger accepted for exchange all of the shares of Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and, effective September 14, 2021, Belpointe REIT completed the QOZB Sale (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

On October 1, 2021, Belpointe REIT completed the Conversion (as defined in the Merger Agreement), wherein each outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into a limited liability company interest (the “Interests”) of BREIT, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“BREIT”). All other conditions to the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having been satisfied, on October 12, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, with BREIT Merger surviving. In the Merger, each Interest that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration.

COVID-19

 

COVID-19 has and continues to pose serious threats and in certain cases severe disruptions to the U.S. and global economy, especially in light of variants that appear to spread more easily than the original virus, and there is continued uncertainty as to the duration of the economic impact caused by COVID-19, even with vaccines now available. Efforts by governmental and other authorities to contain the spread of the virus through lockdowns of cities, business closures, restrictions on travel and emergency quarantines, among others, and responses by businesses and individuals to reduce the risk of exposure to infection, including reduced travel, cancellation of meetings and events, and implementation of work-at-home policies, among others, have resulted in significant disruptions to global economic and market conditions and triggered a period of global economic slowdown.

 

While the economy has shown signs of recovery in large part because of the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, the continued uncertainty of COVID-19 variants may lead to renewed efforts by governmental and other authorities to contain the spread of the virus. Accordingly, COVID-19 continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance and future financial results, including the potential to negatively impact our costs of operations, the value of any investments we make and laws, regulations and governmental and regulatory policies applicable to us.

 

Given the evolving nature of the COVID-19 virus, the extent to which it may impact our future performance and future financial results will depend on future developments which remain highly uncertain at this time and as a result we are unable to estimate the impact that COVID-19 may have on our future financial results at this time. Our Manager continuously reviews our investment and financing strategies for optimization and to reduce our risk in the face of the rapid development and fluidity of this situation.

Gain on Redemption of Equity Investment

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, gain on redemption of equity investment increased by approximately $251,000 and is related to CMC’s redemption of BPOZ 497’s preferred equity interest as discussed in “Note 7 – Loans Receivable” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Long-Term Liquidity

 

We filed a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424), with the SEC to register a continuous primary offering of up to $750,000,000 in our Class A Units (the “Primary Offering”). We are offering our Class A Units on a “best efforts” basis directly to investors and not through any underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents who would be paid commissions by us or any of our affiliates. In the future, however, we may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents to participate in our Primary Offering.

 

Our Primary Offering was declared effective on September 30, 2021. We plan to undertake closings in our Primary Offering on a rolling basis on the last business day of each calendar quarter, we may, however, in our sole discretion, choose to conduct more frequent closings.

 

We set the initial offering price in our Primary Offering at $100.00 per Class A Unit. No later than the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end, and every quarter thereafter, we plan to calculate our net asset value (“NAV”) within approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases below the price per Class A Unit as stated in our Prospectus, we will adjust the offering price effective as of the first business day following its public announcement. The adjusted offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded to the nearest dollar) divided by the number of Class A Unit outstanding on the Determination Date. Our Board, taking into consideration factors such as the investments we hold and the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, may determine that it is appropriate for us to begin calculating NAV on a quarterly basis prior to the first quarter following the December 31, 2022 year end.

 

We are dependent on the net proceeds from our Primary Offering to fund our operations. We expect to obtain the liquidity and capital resources required to pay our Primary Offering and operating fees and expenses, fund our investments, make distributions to holders of our units and pay interest on any outstanding indebtedness that we incur, from the proceeds of the Primary Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from the advancement of reimbursable expenses by our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations.

 

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives and strategy, we expect our Primary Offering and operating fees and expenses will include, among other things, the management fee that we will pay to our Manager, legal, audit and valuation fees and expenses, federal and state filing fees, printing expenses, administrative fees, transfer agent fees, marketing and distribution fees, and expenses related to acquiring, financing, appraising and managing our commercial real estate properties. We do not have any office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees. We will reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our organization and operations. 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.

 

If we are unable to raise substantial offering proceeds in our Primary Offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses associated with our qualification as a publicly traded partnership, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our Primary Offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make investments and distributions.

 

Short-Term Liquidity

 

Our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have funded our liquidity and capital resources on a short-term basis by advancing us substantially all of our organization and Primary Offering and other operating expenses which we will reimburse to our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, pursuant to the terms of the management agreement and employee cost sharing agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have incurred organization and Primary Offering expenses of approximately $636,000 and $199,000, respectively, on our behalf. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have incurred operating expenses of approximately $457,000 and $31,000, respectively, on our behalf. We expect our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, to continue to fund our short-term liquidity and capital resource needs through advancement of reimbursable expenses until such time as we have sufficient capital resources to pay such expenses on our own behalf.

 

Leverage

 

We intend to 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.

Capital Resources

 

On October 28, 2020, we entered into a secured loan transaction with Belpointe REIT pursuant to which we borrowed $35,000,000 from Belpointe REIT evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “First Secured Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 0.14% and secured by all of our assets. On February 16, 2021, we entered into a second secured loan transaction with Belpointe REIT whereby Belpointe REIT advanced us an additional $24,000,000 evidenced by a second secured promissory note (the “Second Secured Note”) on the same terms as the First Secured Note. On May 28, 2021, we entered into a third secured loan transaction with Belpointe REIT whereby Belpointe REIT advanced us an additional $15,000,000 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.

 

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.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 primarily relate to the Secured Notes funded by Belpointe REIT and the private offering proceeds received from our Sponsor and affiliate, respectively.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, without limitation, not being subject to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and, if we were to internalize management, not being required to include certain disclosures regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and not being required to seek member approval of executive compensation and golden parachute compensation arrangements pursuant to Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As an emerging growth company, we will also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of: (i) the last date of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.07 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to those disclosed in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, in our Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 1, 2021, which may be accessed here.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and as a result are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective controls system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Unregistered Sales of Securities

 

Our Sponsor and an affiliate of our Sponsor, Belpointe Capital Management, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability, acquired 100 of our common units in connection with our formation for net proceeds to us of $10,000. Immediately upon effectiveness of our Form S-4, we (i) amended and restated of our Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, (ii) reclassified all of our outstanding common units into an equivalent number of Class A Units, and (iii) issued 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit to our Manager. The offer and sale of common units to our Sponsor and its affiliate and the issuance of our Class B units and Class M unit to our Manager were exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

 

Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering

 

We filed a registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424), with the SEC to register a continuous Primary Offering of up to $750,000,000 in our Class A Units at an initial offering price of $100.00 per Class A Unit. The Primary Offering was declared effective on September 30, 2021. We are offering our Class A Units on a “best efforts” basis directly to investors and not through any underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents who would be paid commissions by us or any of our affiliates. In the future, however, we may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealer-managers or other agents to participate in our Primary Offering.

 

On October 7, 2021, we completed the initial closing for the sale of Class A Units in our Primary Offering. As of November 5, 2021, we have issued 131,302 Class A Units in our Primary Offering, raising gross offering proceeds of approximately $13,130,000. There has been no material change in the use of proceeds from our Primary Offering as described in the prospectus to our registration statement on Form S-11.
