**Forward-Looking
Statements**
****
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this Form 10-K) contains
express or implied 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 are intended to
qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by those sections. Forward-looking statements reflect the current
views of Belpointe PREP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its subsidiaries, the Company, we,
us, or our) based on information currently available to us 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 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, higher rates of inflation and potentially higher costs associated with the development of our projects, the impact
on regional labor markets as a result of changes in immigration policies, changes in the availability and price of insurance coverage,
construction delays, delays in the lease-up and stabilization of our properties, fluctuations in occupancy rates, tenant non-renewals
and tenant defaults as a result of market conditions, including layoffs, fluctuations in market rents as a result of competition, severe
weather events and other natural phenomena, international, national, regional and local economic factors and other market conditions beyond
our control, including impacts and uncertainties from political unrest, changes to trade policies, trade disputes and tariffs, recent
military actions in Iran and the Middle East, changes in federal income tax laws resulting from the recent enactment of the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act of 2025, and the forthcoming related administrative guidance and regulations, as well as other recent and prospective legislation
and regulation, including 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. Any forward-looking statement expressing expectations, beliefs or projections are expressed
in good faith, and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statements are made. However, there can be no assurance
that managements 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.
There
are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-K, including, among others, the risks set forth in [Item 1A. Risk Factors](#a_003)
and [Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,](#sq_009) as well

energy prices, tariffs, immigration, interest rates, the rate of inflation, the availability
of credit, recent military actions in Iran and the Middle East, changes in federal income tax laws resulting from the recent

**PART
I**
**Item
1. Business.**
****
In
this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this Form 10-K), 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.
**History
and Development of the Company**
****
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 has and will continue to 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 unit sold in the Follow-on Offering.
For the year ended December31, 2025,
we issued 172,523 Class A units in connection with our Follow-on Offering. Together with the gross proceeds raised in our primary offering,
which expired in 2024 (our Primary Offering and together with our Follow-on Offering, our Public Offerings),
and the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REITs prior offerings, as of December31, 2025, we have raised aggregate gross
offering cash proceeds of $368.6million.
The purchase price for Class A units in
our Follow-on Offering is 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 March4, 2026, we announced that our NAV as of December31, 2025 was
equal to $116.17 per Class A unit.
**Overview
of our Business and Operations**
****
We
are the only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability
company formed on January 24, 2020, and a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are focused on identifying, acquiring,
developing or redeveloping and managing commercial and mixed-use 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 and will continue to be held by, and all of our operations are and will continue to be 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).
**Our
Manager**
****
We
are externally managed by our Manager, Belpointe PREP Manager, LLC, and, pursuant to the terms of a Management Agreement between us,
our Operating Companies and our Manager (the Management Agreement), our Manager manages our day-to-day operations, implements
our investment objectives and strategy and performs certain services for us, subject to oversight by our board of directors (our Board).
Subject to the limitations set forth in our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (our Operating
Agreement), a team of investment and asset management professionals, acting through our Manager, makes all decisions regarding
the origination, selection, evaluation, structuring, acquisition, financing and development of our commercial real estate properties,
real estate-related assets, including commercial real estate loans and mortgages, 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.
| 5 | |
| Table of Contents | |
Our
Manager also provides portfolio management, marketing, investor relations, financial, accounting and other administrative services on
our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our invested capital.
**Our
Sponsor**
****
Our Sponsor, Belpointe, LLC, a leading investment firm based in Greenwich,
Connecticut, operates a family office making private investments and oversees its businesses, such as wealth management, legal and real
estate services, Our Sponsors senior executives have substantial experience in the acquisition, development and ownership of real
estate and, as of December31, 2025, its affiliates have facilitated or originated real estate assets with acquisition and construction
costs of approximately $500 million. Our Sponsors financial management division also currently manages over $6 billion in public
securities.
**Our
Investment Objectives and Investment Strategy**
****
Our
primary investment objectives are:
| 
| to
preserve, protect and return your capital contribution; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| to
pay attractive and consistent cash distributions over the long term; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| to
grow net cash from operations so that an increasing amount of cash flow is available for
distributions to investors over the long term; and | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| to
realize growth in the value of our investments. | |
We
cannot assure you that we will achieve our investment objectives. See [Item 1A. Risk Factors.](#a_003)
Our
initial investments consist of and are expected to continue to consist of properties located in qualified opportunity zones for the development
or redevelopment of multifamily, student housing, senior living, healthcare, industrial, self-storage, hospitality, office, mixed-use,
data centers and solar projects located throughout the United States and its territories. 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.
Our
investment guidelines delegate to our Manager discretion and authority to execute acquisitions and dispositions of investments (including
the reinvestment of capital basis and gains), provided such investments are consistent with our investment objectives and strategy and
our investment guidelines. Our Managers investment committee will periodically review our portfolio of assets and investments,
our investment objectives and strategy and our investment guidelines to determine whether they remain in the best interests of our members
and may recommend changes to our Board as it deems appropriate. We may, at any time and without member approval, cease to be a qualified
opportunity fund and acquire assets that do not qualify as qualified opportunity zone investments. Furthermore, there are no prohibitions
in our Operating Agreement on the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in a single property.
**Our
Reporting Segments**
****
As
of December 31, 2025, we have organized our operations into two reporting segments, commercial and mixed-use, based on the way we organize
and evaluate our business internally.
**Qualified
Opportunity Zone Program**
****
The opportunity zone program is a community development program established
by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the JOBS Act or OZ 1.0), and later expanded, and certain provisions
originally set to expire permanently extended, by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (the OBBBA or OZ 2.0),
to encourage new long-term investment in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. The opportunity zone program provides tax
incentives for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains into qualified opportunity funds dedicated to investing in qualified
opportunity zones.
Qualified opportunity zones are census tracts identified and nominated by the chief executives of every
state and territory of the United States (*e.g*., state governors) and designated by the Secretary of the Treasury.
| 6 | |
| Table of Contents | |
There
were more than 8,700 qualified opportunity zones designated throughout the United States and its territories under OZ 1.0, and the OBBBA
calls for the nomination and designation of new opportunity zones under OZ 2.0 beginning July 1, 2026, and again every ten-year period
thereafter. The opportunity zones designated under OZ 1.0 will remain in effect until December 31, 2026, and on January 1, 2027, and
every ten-year period thereafter, the newly designated opportunity zones under OZ 2.0. will take effect.
A
qualified opportunity fund (Qualified Opportunity Fund) is generally defined as an investment vehicle that is taxed as
a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and organized to invest in, and at least 90% of its assets consist
of, qualified opportunity zone property (the 90% Asset Test). A Qualified Opportunity Fund must determine whether it meets
the 90% Asset Test on each of (i) the last day of the first six-month period of its taxable year, and (ii) the last day of its taxable
year (each a Test Date).
We
initially qualified as a Qualified Opportunity Fund beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, and we currently intend
to manage our affairs so that we continue to meet the requirements for classification as a Qualified Opportunity Fund pursuant to Section
1400Z-2 of the Code and the related regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) and U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (the IRS) on December 19, 2019, together with the correcting amendments issued on April 6, 2020, additional
relief issued on January 13, 2021 and further correcting amendments issued on August 5, 2021 (collectively the Opportunity Zone
Regulations).
The
OBBBA created a new category of qualified opportunity fund called the qualified rural opportunity fund (Qualified Rural Opportunity
Fund and, together with Qualified Opportunity Funds, QOFs) which is an investment vehicle that is taxed as a corporation
or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and organized to invest in, and at least 90% of its assets consist of, qualified
opportunity zone property located in rural areas. A rural area is a city or town (and certain contiguous and adjacent areas)
that has a population of 50,000 inhabitants or less.
On
September 30, 2025, the Treasury and IRS issued guidance which identified more than 3,300 rural areas within the qualified opportunity
zones already designated under OZ 1.0, however, transitional and new regulations for OZ 2.0 have yet to be issued
The
Opportunity Zone Regulations allow a QOF to apply the 90% Asset Test without taking into account any investments received in the 6-month
period preceding the Test Date, provided those investments are (i) received (a) solely in exchange for stock by a QOF that is a corporation,
or (b) as a contribution by a QOF that is a partnership, and (ii) held continuously from the fifth business day after the exchange or
contribution, as applicable, through the Test Date in cash, cash equivalents or debt instruments with a term of 18 months or less.
Subject
to a one-time six-month cure period, for each month following a Test Date in which a qualified opportunity fund fails to meet the 90%
Asset Test it will incur a penalty equal to (a) the excess of 90% of the funds aggregate assets over the aggregate amount of qualified
opportunity zone property held by the fund, multiplied by (b) the short-term federal interest rate plus 3%. However, notwithstanding
a qualified opportunity funds failure to meet the 90% Asset Test, no penalty will be imposed if the fund demonstrates that its
failure is due to reasonable cause.
An
eligible investor may defer recognition of capital gains (short-term or long-term) resulting from the sale or exchange of capital assets
(or business assets the gain on the sale of which is treated as a capital gain) with an unrelated person by reinvesting those gains into
a QOF within a period of 180 days generally beginning on the date of the sale or exchange (the Deferred Capital Gains).
The 180-day period generally begins on the day on which the gains would be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes had they not
been reinvested into a QOF. Under OZ 1.0 Deferred Capital Gains are recognized on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026, or (ii) the date
on which an inclusion event occurs. Under OZ 2.0 Deferred Capital Gains are recognized on the earlier of the date (i) which is five years
after their reinvestment into a QOF, or (ii) on which an inclusion event occurs.
All
individuals and entities that recognize capital gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes are eligible to elect to defer their capital
gains by investing in a QOF within the applicable 180-day period. This includes natural persons as well as entities such as corporations,
regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), partnerships and other pass-through entities (including,
certain common trust funds, qualified settlement funds, and disputed ownership funds). Eligible investors must make deferral elections
on Form 8949, *Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets*, which will need to be attached to their U.S. federal income tax
returns for the taxable year in which the capital gain would have been recognized had it not been deferred. In addition, Form 8997, *Initial
and Annual Statement of Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments* (Form 8997), requires eligible investors holding
a QOF investment at any point during the tax year to report: (i) QOF investment holdings at the beginning and end of the tax year; (ii)
current tax year capital gains deferred by investing in a QOF; and (iii) QOF investments disposed of during the tax year. Eligible investors
who have not properly followed the instructions for Form 8997 may receive a Letter 6502, *Reporting Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF)
Investments* (Letter 6502), or a Letter 6503, *Annual Reporting of Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments*
(Letter 6503), from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) if the IRS is missing information, the investor
entered invalid information, or the requirements to maintain a qualifying investment have not been followed. Eligible investors who receive
a Letter 6502 or a Letter 6503 may need to file an amended return or an administrative adjustment request with a properly completed Form
8997.
Under
OZ 1.0 an eligible investor may elect to increase the tax basis with respect to its QOF investment interest to the fair market value
of the investment interest on the date on which it is sold or exchanged, and similarly may elect to exclude from income gains from sales
of non-inventory assets by the QOF, if the investor holds the QOF investment interest for a period of ten years or more prior to the
date of sale or exchange, up to December 31, 2047. Provided these requirements are met, for U.S. federal income tax purposes an eligible
investor will not be required to pay federal income tax on a sale of its QOF investment interest. This benefit will not be available
with respect to sales or exchanges after December 31, 2047.

As
of the date of this Form 10-K, our investment portfolio consisted of the following commercial and mixed-use properties:
**1991
Main Street Sarasota, Florida (Aster & Links)** 1991 Main Street (1991 Main or Aster
& Links) is a 5.13-acre mixed-use luxury development site in downtown Sarasota, Florida, which we acquired for an aggregate
purchase price of $20.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs. In August 2023, we acquired an adjacent parcel that was previously subject
to a ground lease for a purchase price of $4.9 million, inclusive of transaction costs. In July 2024, we also completed the redevelopment
of 1900 Fruitville Road, a nearby 1.2-acre site which we acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $4.7 million, inclusive of transaction
costs, to provide additional non-exclusive parking for Aster & Links retail tenants, including Sprouts Farmers Market
(Sprouts).
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, we substantially completed construction and began leasing at Aster & Links. The property comprises
two distinct ten-story buildings with a total of 424 luxury residential units, including a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom
apartments, townhome-style penthouse residences, and six guest suites. The development also includes approximately 51,000 square feet
of ground-floor retail space and more than 900 garage and surface-level parking spaces designed to accommodate both residents and retail
customers.
In
September 2025, we completed an approximately $204.1 million post-construction financing for Aster & Links, the proceeds of which
were used to retire existing construction debt and will provide additional liquidity to support lease-up and stabilization. We expect
the refinancing to generate annual interest savings of several million dollars over the term of the loans. See [Our Investments1991 Main Street ****Sarasota Florida (Aster & Links)Aster & Links Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans](#alm_001)**
below for a more detailed discussion of the refinancing.
Aster & Links features an extensive suite of resident amenities, including
a clubroom, fitness center, center courtyards with heated saltwater pools and rooftop amenities such as a community room, a private dining
area for events, and outdoor grills and seating. Each building contains its own leasing office to support new residents. As of March 8,
2026, Aster & Links was greater than 67% leased.
Sprouts
occupies approximately 23,000 square feet of retail space at Aster & Links, and, together with other curated retail tenants, enhances
the projects walkability and community activation. Situated in downtown Sarasota, at the intersection of Main Street and Links
Avenue, Aster & Links is located in a high foot traffic area next to a number of popular retail establishments. Sarasotas
metro area economy has historically been the largest of the southwest Florida markets and has experienced strong gains in jobs, population,
and home values over the past few years. We believe that Aster & Links is well-positioned to be a premier residential and retail
destination in the heart of what will continue to be a vibrant city.
*Aster

On September 29, 2025, we, through our indirect majority-owned subsidiaries,

(the Aster & Links Loans or Aster & Links Refinance Transactions), of which a total of approximately

with Bank OZK and mezzanine loan with Southern Realty Trust Holdings, LLC. The remaining proceeds from the Initial Advance and any proceeds
from additional advances may be used to fund expenses that we incur or advance in connection with leasing the remaining non-residential

is an approximately 60.0-acre site, consisting of approximately 30 acres of former golf course and approximately 30 acres of wetlands,

initial capital contribution of $3.8 million. As part of the transaction two unaffiliated joint venture partners (the CMC JV Partners)
were deemed to have made initial capital contributions to CMC. Following our acquisition of the CMC Interest, we discovered that one

or 29.8%, of their noncontrolling interest in CMC on March 24, 2023. As a result of the forfeiture, we indirectly own a 100% controlling

acquisition, development and management expertise to: (i) achieve potentially greater returns on our invested capital; (ii) diversify
our access to investment opportunities; and (iii) promote our brand and potentially increase our market share.
**Borrowing
Policy**
****
We
employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. Leverage allows us to make more investments than would otherwise
be possible, resulting in a broader portfolio. We believe that careful use of conservatively structured leverage helps us to achieve
our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. We also believe that our Sponsors ability to
obtain both competitive financing and its relationships with top-tier financial institutions will allow our Manager to access and successfully
employ competitively priced borrowing.
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 the 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.

| Table of Contents | |
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. For an overview of our borrowings, see [Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources.](#SSS_002)
**Disposition
Policies**
****
The
period that we will hold our investments will vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of investment, interest rates
and economic and market conditions. Our Managers investment committee will develop a well-defined exit strategy for each investment
we make and will periodically perform a hold-sell analysis to determine the optimal holding period for generating strong returns. As
each of our investments reach what we believe to be its maximum value we will consider disposing of the investment and may do so for
the purpose of either distributing the net sale proceeds to holders of our Class A units or investing the proceeds in other investments
that we believe may produce a higher overall future return. However, we may sell any or all of our investments before or after their
anticipated holding period if, in the judgment of our Managers investment committee, selling the investment is in our best interest.
The
determination of when a particular investment should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of all relevant
factors, including prevailing and projected economic and market conditions, whether the value of the investment is anticipated to change
substantially, whether we could apply the proceeds from the sale to make other investments consistent with our investment objectives
and strategy, whether disposition of the investment would allow us to increase cash flow, and whether the sale of the investment would
impact our intended qualification as a publicly traded partnership and QOF.
**Taxation
of the Company**
****
We
have been treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes since our tax year ended December 31, 2020. We
currently intend to manage our affairs so that we continue to meet the requirements for classification as a partnership. If our Manager
determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our Manager
may elect to treat us as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable
state) income tax purposes. If we elect to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, we
may also elect to qualify and be taxed as a REIT.
Generally,
an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a taxable entity and incurs no U.S. federal income
tax liability. Rather, each partner is required to take into account its allocable share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction
of the partnership in determining its U.S. federal income tax liability, regardless of whether cash distributions are made. Distributions
of cash by a partnership to a partner are not taxable unless the amount of cash distributed to a partner is in excess of the partners
adjusted basis in its partnership interest.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, unless an exception applies, an entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes may nevertheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section
7704 the Code. An entity that would otherwise be classified as a partnership is a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section
7704 of the Code if its interests are (i) traded on an established securities market, or (ii) readily tradable on a secondary market
or the substantial equivalent thereof. Our Class A units are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol OZ. There is,
however, an exception to taxation as a corporation which is available if at least 90% of a partnerships gross income for every
taxable year consists of qualifying income and the partnership is not required to register under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the Qualifying Income Exception). Qualifying income includes certain interest income (other than
from a financial business), dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property and any gain from
the sale or disposition of a capital asset or other property held for the production of income that otherwise constitutes qualifying
income. We intend to continue to manage our affairs so that we meet the Qualifying Income Exception in each taxable year and so that
neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
**Government
Regulation**
****
Our
operations are subject, in certain instances, to supervision and regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities, and
may be subject to various laws, regulations and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions,
including, among others, (i) federal and state securities laws and regulations, (ii) federal, state and local tax laws and regulations,
(iii) state and local laws relating to real property, (iv) federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and
(v) various laws relating to housing, including rent control and stabilization laws, the Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988 and Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990, among others.
| 13 | |
| Table of Contents | |
Compliance
with the federal, state and local laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations,
and we do not expect to incur material expenditures to comply with the laws and regulations to which we are subject.
**Competition**
****
We
face competition from various entities for investment opportunities, including other QOFs, REITs, Delaware statutory
trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, private equity and other alternative investment funds and companies, partnerships and developers.
In addition to third-party competitors, we may compete for investment opportunities with other programs sponsored by our Sponsor and
its affiliates, especially those with investment strategies similar to our own.
Most
of our current and potential competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Larger
competitors may also enjoy significant advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating
efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for investment opportunities may increase over time.
Any such increase would result in a greater demand for investment opportunities and could result in our acquiring assets and investments
at higher prices or using less than ideal capital structures.
In
the face of such competition, we expect to greatly benefit from our Managers access to our Sponsors investment and operating
platforms, including without limitation, our Sponsors highly experienced management team with significant real estate and asset
management expertise, extensive market knowledge and network of industry relationships, which we believe provides us with our own competitive
advantage and helps us source, evaluate and compete for investment opportunities.
**Human
Capital**
****
We
are externally managed and currently have no employees or intention of having any employees. We rely on our Manager to manage our day-to-day
operations, implement our investment objectives and investment strategy and perform certain services for us pursuant to the Management
Agreement. These services are provided by individuals who are employees of our Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates. Our executive
officers also serve as officers of our Sponsor and certain of its affiliates.
We, our Operating Companies, our Manager, our Sponsor and certain of our
Sponsors subsidiaries, associates and affiliates (collectively, the Sponsor Group) are party to an Amended and Restated
Services and Cost Sharing Agreement (the Services and Cost Sharing Agreement) pursuant to which the Sponsor Group provides
our Manager with access to portfolio management, asset valuation, risk management and asset management services, as well as administration
services addressing legal, compliance, investor relations and information technologies necessary for the performance by our Manager of
its duties under the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager or one or more of its affiliates is entitled
to receive expense reimbursements and a quarterly management fee. Pursuant to the Services and Cost Sharing Agreement, the Sponsor Group
is entitled to receive expense reimbursements and our Managers allocable share of employment costs incurred by the Sponsor Group.

**Risks
Related to our Organizational Structure**
****
**We
have a limited operating history, and the prior performance of our Sponsor or other real estate investment opportunities sponsored by
our Sponsor may not predict our future results.**
****
We
have a limited operating history, and we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives. As of the year ended December 31, 2025,
we had 17 qualified opportunity zone investments in three states and are primarily reliant on the proceeds derived from our public offerings
and any financing that might be provided by our Sponsor or its affiliates to fund our operations. We cannot assure you that the past
experiences of our Sponsor or its affiliates will be sufficient to allow us to successfully achieve our investment objectives.
In
addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully identify, make and realize any additional investments or generate
returns for our investors. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our investors will receive any distributions. These factors increase
the risk that your investment may not generate returns comparable to other real estate investment alternatives.
**We
have only held our investments for a limited period of time, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments
before we make them, which makes your investment more speculative.**
****
We
have only held our investments for a limited period of time and are not able to provide you with any information to assist you in evaluating
the merits of any specific properties or real estate-related investments that we may acquire, except for investments that may be described
in one or more filings that we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We will continue to seek to
invest substantially all of the net offering proceeds from our Public Offerings, and any other offerings that we may conduct, after the
payment of fees and expenses, in the acquisition of or investment in real estate and real estate-related assets, including commercial
real estate loans and mortgages, and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies, as well as select private equity
investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses. However,
because you will be unable to evaluate the economic merit of our investments before we make them, you will have to rely entirely on the
ability of our Manager to select suitable and successful investment opportunities. There can be no assurance that our Manager will be
successful in obtaining suitable investments or that, if such investments are made, our investment objectives will be achieved. Furthermore,
our Manager has broad discretion in selecting investments, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate potential investments. These
factors increase the risk that your investment may not generate returns comparable to other investment alternatives.
**Our
Class A units are listed on the NYSE American, however, an active, liquid and orderly market for our Class A units may not
be sustained.**
****
Our
Class A units are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol OZ, however, an active, liquid and orderly market for
our Class A units may not be sustained. Further, because we are a qualified opportunity fund eligible investors may defer
recognition of capital gains (short-term or long-term) resulting from the sale or exchange of capital assets (or business assets the
gain on sale of which is treated as a capital gain) with an unrelated person by reinvesting those gains into our Class A units
within a period of 180 days generally beginning on the date of the sale or exchange (the Deferred Capital Gains). The
180-day period generally begins on the day on which the gains would be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes had they not
been reinvested into a QOF. Under OZ 1.0 Deferred Capital Gains are recognized on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026, or (ii) the
date on which an inclusion event occurs. Under OZ 2.0 Deferred Capital Gains are recognized on the earlier of the date (i) which is
five years after their reinvestment into a QOF, or (ii) on which an inclusion event occurs. Under OZ 1.0 an eligible investor may
elect to increase the tax basis with respect to its QOF investment interest to the fair market value of the investment interest on
the date on which it is sold or exchanged, and similarly may elect to exclude from income gains from sales of non-inventory assets
by the QOF, if the investor holds the QOF investment interest for a period of ten years or more prior to the date of sale or exchange, up to December 31, 2047. Provided these requirements are met, for U.S. federal income tax purposes an eligible investor will not be required
to pay federal income tax on a sale of its QOF investment interest. This
benefit will not be available with respect to sales or exchanges after December 31, 2047. Consequently, fewer Class A units may be
actively traded in the public markets which would reduce the liquidity of the market for our Class A units. If an active market for
our Class A units is not sustained, you may be unable to sell your Class A units at the time you desire to sell them, at a price at
or above the price you paid for them, or without experiencing volatility in the price of our Class A units. An inactive market may
also impair our ability to raise capital by selling Class A units and may impair our ability to make opportunistic acquisitions of
other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses using our Class A units as consideration.

**If
we are unable to raise sufficient proceeds in our ongoing Follow-on Offering, and any other offerings that we may conduct, we may not be
able to fund all of our existing projects or find additional suitable investments, and, as a result, we may not be able to achieve our
investment objectives or pay distributions.**
****
Our
ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions depends, in part, on our ability to fund our existing projects
and on the ability of our Manager to find additional suitable and successful investment opportunities for us. If we fail to raise sufficient
proceeds from the sale of Class A units in our Follow-on Offering, and any other offerings that we may conduct, we may be unable to fund
all of our existing projects or to make additional suitable investments. At the same time, the more money we raise in our Follow-on Offering,
and any other offerings that we may conduct, the greater our challenge will be to invest all of the net offering proceeds in investments
that meet our investment criteria. Our investments consist of and are expected to continue to consist of properties located in qualified
opportunity zones for the development or redevelopment of multifamily, student housing, senior living, healthcare, industrial, self-storage,
hospitality, office, mixed-use, data centers and solar projects (collectively, the qualified opportunity zone investments)
located throughout the United States and its territories. 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. We cannot
assure you that our Manager will be successful in locating and obtaining additional suitable qualified opportunity zone investments or
that, if our Manager makes additional qualified opportunity zone investments on our behalf, our objectives will be achieved. Whats
more, increased competition from other opportunity zone funds as well as any prospective legislative or regulatory changes related to
qualified opportunity zone investments, may make it more difficult for our Manager to make suitable qualified opportunity zone investments.
If we, through our Manager, are unable to find suitable investments promptly, we may invest in short-term, investment-grade obligations
or accounts in a manner that is consistent with our qualification as a publicly traded partnership and qualified opportunity fund. If
we would continue to be unsuccessful in locating suitable investments, we may ultimately decide to liquidate. In the event we are unable
to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable or limited in our ability to pay distributions and we may not be able to meet
our investment objectives.
**Our
ability to deploy the capital we raise in our Public Offerings may be constrained.**
****
We
may have difficulty identifying and purchasing suitable properties on attractive terms. In addition, increased competition from other
opportunity zone funds, a lack of suitable qualified opportunity zone investment opportunities or other market-related constraints, may
also make it more difficult for our Manager to deploy the capital we raise in our Public Offerings. Therefore, there could be a delay
between the time we receive net proceeds from the sale of our Class A units in our Public Offerings and the time we invest the net proceeds.
This could cause a substantial delay in the time it takes for your investment to realize its full potential return and could adversely
affect our ability to pay regular distributions of cash flow from operations to you. If we fail to timely invest the net proceeds of
our Public Offerings, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
**Our
NAV per Class A unit may change materially from our current NAV.**
****
Each
quarter, we calculate our net asset value (NAV) and NAV per Class A unit as of the last day of the quarter (the Determination
Date). Our NAV per Class A unit is equal to our NAV as of the Determination Date, divided by the number of Class A units outstanding
on the Determination Date. We disclose our determination of NAV and NAV per Class A unit within approximately 60 days of the Determination
Date. Any adjustments to our NAV and the per Class A unit purchase price take effect as of the first business day following its public
announcement.
**Valuations
and appraisals of our real estate and real estate assets are estimates of fair value and may not necessarily correspond to realizable
value, in addition it may be difficult to reflect, fully and accurately, material events that impact our NAV.**
****
Our
NAV is calculated using a process that may reflect some or all of the following components: (i) estimated values of each of our assets
and investments, including related liabilities (but may, in our discretion, exclude deal-level carried interest allocations), based on:
(a) market capitalization rates, comparable transaction information, interest rates, adjusted net operating income; (b) with respect
to debt, default rates, discount rates and loss severity rates; (c) for commercial real estate properties that have development or value
add plans, progress along such development or value add plans; and (d) in certain instances, reports of the underlying assets and investments
by an independent valuation expert; (ii) the price of liquid assets for which third party market quotes are available; (iii) accruals
of our periodic distributions; and (iv) estimated accruals of our operating revenues and expenses (excluding property management oversight
fees).
We
may engage a third party to prepare or assist with preparing the NAV of our Class A units. In addition, where we determine that an independent
appraisal is necessary, including, without limitation, where our Manager is unsure of its ability to accurately determine the estimated
values of our assets and investments, or where third party market values for comparable assets and investments are either nonexistent
or extremely inconsistent, we will engage an appraiser that has expertise in appraising the types of assets and investments that we hold
to act as our independent valuation expert. The independent valuation expert is not be responsible for, and will not prepare or assist
with preparing our NAV per Class A unit.
| 16 | |
| Table of Contents | |
As
with any asset valuation protocol, the conclusions reached by our Manager or any third-party firm that we engage to prepare or assist
with preparing the NAV of our Class A units involves significant judgments, assumptions, and opinions in the application of both observable
and unobservable attributes that may or may not prove to be correct. The use of different judgments or assumptions would likely result
in different estimates of the value of our assets and investments and, consequently, our NAV. Moreover, although we calculate and provide
our NAV on a quarterly basis, our NAV may fluctuate daily, accordingly the NAV in effect for any given fiscal quarter may not accurately
reflect the amount that might otherwise be paid for your Class A units in a market transaction. Further, for any given fiscal quarter,
our published NAV may not fully reflect certain material events to the extent that they are unknown or their financial impact on our
assets or investments is not immediately quantifiable.
Our
goal is to provide a reasonable estimate of the market value of our Class A units within approximately 60 days of the last day of each
quarter.
**NAV
calculations are not set by governmental or independent securities, financial or accounting rules or standards.**
****
It
is important to note that the determination of our NAV is not based on, nor is it intended to comply with, fair value standards under
U.S. GAAP, and our NAV may not be indicative of the price that we would receive for our assets at current market conditions. In addition,
we do not represent, warrant or guarantee that: (i) you will be able to realize the NAV per Class A unit for your Class A units if you
attempt to sell them; (ii) you will ultimately realize distributions per Class A unit equal to the NAV per Class A units you own upon
liquidation of our assets and investments and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of our company; (iii) our Class A units will trade
at their NAV per Class A unit on the NYSE; or (iv) a third party would offer the NAV per Class A unit in an arms-length transaction
to purchase all or substantially all of our Class A units. Furthermore, any distributions that we make will directly impact our NAV,
by reducing the amount of our assets.
**Our
Sponsor does not hold a significant amount of our equity, and therefore may not be as strongly incentivized to avoid losses as a sponsor
who holds a significant equity investment, and as a result you may be more likely to sustain a loss on your investment.**
****
Our
Sponsor, Belpointe, LLC, and an affiliate of our Sponsor have acquired 100 of our Class A units in connection with our formation for
net proceeds to us of $10,000. Accordingly, our Sponsor will have very little exposure to a loss in the value of our Class A units. Without
this exposure, you may be at a greater risk of loss because our Sponsor does not have as much to lose from a decrease in the value of
our Class A units as a sponsor who makes a more significant equity investment would.
**Our
Sponsor currently sponsors and will in the future sponsor other investment programs some of which may compete with us.**
****
Our
Sponsor has previously sponsored two real estate funds and a qualified opportunity fund with investment criteria similar to ours. Our
Sponsor and its affiliates will in the future sponsor other investment programs, some of which may compete with us or have similar investment
criteria to our own, and there are no limits or restrictions on the right of our Sponsor, or any of its affiliates, including our Manager,
to engage in any other business or sponsor any other investment programs of any kind.
**Our
Manager and its affiliates have little or no experience managing a portfolio of assets in the manner necessary to maintain our qualification
as a publicly traded partnership and qualified opportunity fund or our exclusion or exemption from registration under the Investment
Company Act.**
****
In
order to maintain our intended qualification as a publicly traded partnership and qualified opportunity fund and our exclusion or exemption
from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), our assets and investments
may be subject to certain restrictions that could limit our operations meaningfully. The publicly traded partnership rules and regulations,
Opportunity Zone Regulations (as hereinafter defined) and exclusions and exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act
are highly technical and complex, and our failure to comply with the requirements and limitations imposed by these rules and regulations
could prevent us from qualifying as a publicly traded partnership or qualified opportunity fund or could force us to pay unexpected taxes
and penalties. Our Manager and its affiliates have little or no experience managing assets and investments in the manner necessary to
maintain our intended qualification as a publicly traded partnership and qualified opportunity fund or our exclusion or exemption from
registration under the Investment Company Act. This inexperience may hinder our ability to achieve our objectives, result in our failing
to achieve or losing of our qualification as a publicly traded partnership or qualified opportunity fund or our exclusion or exemption
from registration under the Investment Company Act. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully operate as
a publicly traded partnership and qualified opportunity fund, comply with regulatory requirements applicable to publicly traded partnerships
and qualified opportunity funds, maintain our exclusion or an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act, or execute
our business strategies.

**Any
adverse changes in our Sponsors financial health, or our Sponsors or our relationship with our Manager or its affiliates
could hinder our operating performance.**
****
We,
our Operating Companies, and our Manager have entered into a Management Agreement pursuant to which our Manager manages our day-to-day
operations, implements our investment objectives and strategy and performs certain services for us, subject to oversight by our Board.
We,
our Operating Companies, our Manager our Sponsor and certain of our Sponsors subsidiaries, associates and affiliates (collectively, the Sponsor Group) have also entered into an Amended and Restated Services and Cost Sharing Agreement
pursuant to which our Manager is provided with access to, among other things, the Sponsor Group and its affiliates
portfolio management, asset valuation, risk management and asset management professionals and services as well as administration
professionals and services addressing legal, compliance, investor relations and information technologies necessary for the
performance by our Manager of its duties under the Management Agreement.
This
team of investment, asset management and other professionals, acting through our Manager, makes all decisions regarding the
origination, selection, evaluation, structuring, acquisition, financing and development of our commercial real estate properties,
real estate-related assets, including commercial real estate loans and mortgages, 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, subject to the limitations in our Operating Agreement. Our
Manager also provides portfolio management, marketing, investor relations, financial, accounting, and other administrative services
on our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our invested capital. As such, our ability to
achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions to the holders of our Class A units is dependent in part on the Sponsor
Groups financial condition and the Sponsor Groups and our relationship with our Manager. Any adverse changes in the
Sponsor Groups financial condition or the Sponsor Groups or our relationship with our Manager could hinder our ability
to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of assets and investments. In addition, our Manager and the Sponsor Group
only have limited assets and our recourse against our Manager or the Sponsor Group if our Manager does not fulfill its obligations
under the Management Agreement, is limited to termination of the Management Agreement.
**If
the Sponsor Group fails to retain its key personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business
could suffer.**
****
Our
future depends, in part, on the Sponsor Groups ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our future also depends on the
continued contributions of the executive officers and other key personnel of the Sponsor Group acting through our Manager, each of
whom would be difficult to replace. In particular, each of Brandon Lacoff and Martin Lacoff is critical to the management of our
business and operations and the development of our strategic direction. The loss of the services of Brandon Lacoff, Martin Lacoff or
other executive officers or key personnel of the Sponsor Group and the process to replace any of the Sponsor Groups key
personnel would involve substantial time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business
objectives.
**The
Management Agreement with our Manager was not negotiated with an unaffiliated third party on an arms length basis and may not
be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.**
****
Our
Management Agreement with our Manager was negotiated between related parties and its terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable
to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. Our Managers entitlement to a management fee, which is not
based upon performance metrics or goals, might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking investments that provide
attractive risk-adjusted returns for our portfolio. This in turn could hurt both our ability to pay distributions to holders of our Class
A units and the market price of our Class A units.
**We
do not have an exclusive management arrangement with our Manager.**
****
We
do not have an exclusive management arrangement with our Manager. Accordingly, our Manager and its affiliates, including members of
the Sponsor Group, can and will engage in other activities, including, without limitation, managing other investment programs
sponsored or organized by the Sponsor Group and its affiliates. Further, nothing in our Management Agreement limits or restricts the
right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equity holder of our Manager, or any of its affiliates, including members of
the Sponsor Group, to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other person or entity.

**Terminating
the Management Agreement for unsatisfactory performance by our Manager or electing not to renew the Management Agreement may be difficult,
and, even if we elect not to renew or terminate the Management Agreement, our Manager will continue to hold our Class B units.**
****
Terminating
the Management Agreement for unsatisfactory performance by our Manager is difficult and potentially costly. The initial term of our Management
Agreement continued through December 31, 2025 and, following an evaluation of the Managers performance by the Board, was thereafter renewed for a subsequent
three-year term. We may only terminate the Management Agreement (i)
for cause, (ii) upon the bankruptcy of our Manager, or (iii) upon a material breach of the Management Agreement by our
Manager. Cause is defined in the Management Agreement to mean fraud or willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission
of a felony or a material violation of applicable law, in each case that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on us. Following the initial term, the Management Agreement will automatically renew for an unlimited number of three-year terms
unless we elect not to renew or terminate it by providing our Manager with 180 days prior notice. We will review and evaluate
our Managers performance under the Management Agreement at least 180 days prior to each renewal term.
Upon
any termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement by us or any termination of the Management Agreement by our Manager for our
breach of the Management Agreement, our Manager will be entitled to receive its prorated management fee through the expiration or termination
date and will be paid a termination fee equal to six times the annual management fee earned by our Manager during the 12-month period
ended as of the last day of the quarter immediately preceding the termination date (the Termination Fee); however, if less
than 12 months have elapsed as of the termination date, the Termination Fee will be calculated by annualizing the management fee earned
during the most recently completed quarter prior to the termination date.
In
addition, upon any termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement, our Manager will continue to hold 100% of our Class B units,
which entitle our Manager to 5% of any gain recognized by or distributed to the Company or recognized by or distributed from the Operating
Companies or any subsidiary. As a result, any time we recognize operating gain (excluding depreciation) or receive a distribution, whether
from continuing operations, net sale proceeds, refinancing transactions or otherwise, our Manager is entitled to receive 5% of the aggregate
amount of such gain or distribution, regardless of whether the holders of our Class A units have received a return of their capital.
The allocation and distribution rights that our Manager is entitled to with respect to its Class B units 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. Accordingly,
for so long as our Manager continues to hold our Class B units, it will be entitled to receive 5% of the aggregate amount of any operating
gain (excluding depreciation) that we recognize or distribution that we receive.
**If
we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investments and your
overall return may be reduced. Likewise, funding distributions from the sale of additional securities will dilute your interest in us
on a percentage basis and may impact the value of our Class A units.**
****
While
our goal is to pay distributions from cash flow from operations, we may, at the discretion of our Manager, subject to Board oversight,
use other sources to fund distributions, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings in anticipation of future operating
cash flow, net proceeds of our Public Offerings, and any other offerings that we may conduct, cash advances by our Manager, cash resulting
from a waiver of fees or reimbursements due to our Manager or the issuance of additional securities. We will only fund distributions
by a return of capital following the sale of assets, unless otherwise determined by our Manager in its discretion. Funding distributions
from the sales of assets, borrowings, return of capital or proceeds of this offering will result in us having less funds available to
make investments. As a result, the return you realize on your investment may be reduced. Doing so may also negatively impact our ability
to generate cash flows. Likewise, funding distributions from the sale of additional securities will dilute your interest in us on a percentage
basis and may impact the value of our Class A units. We can provide no assurances that future cash flow will support payment of distributions
or maintaining distributions at any level, if at all.
**Your
interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional units.**
****
Under
our Operating Agreement, we have authority to issue an unlimited number of additional units and options, rights, warrants and
appreciation rights relating to such units. In particular, our Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of an unlimited
amount of one or more classes or series of units and to fix the number of units, the relative powers, preferences and rights, and
the qualifications, limitations or restrictions applicable to each class or series thereof by resolution authorizing the issuance of
such class or series, without member approval. We may elect to issue and sell additional units in future private or public offerings
or issue units to our Manager or its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor Group, in payment of outstanding fees and expenses. We
also intend to seek opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses using
our equity as transaction consideration. Holders of our Class A units will not have preemptive rights to any units we issue in the
future. To the extent we issue additional equity interests your percentage ownership interest in us would be diluted.

**Our
investment guidelines delegate broad discretion to our Manager and our Board does not approve each investment and financing decision
made by our Manager.**
****
Our
investment guidelines delegate to our Manager discretion and authority to execute acquisitions and dispositions of investments (including
the reinvestment of capital basis and gains) in commercial real estate properties, real estate-related assets, including commercial real
estate loans and mortgages, 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, provided
such investments are consistent with our investment objectives and strategy and our investment guidelines. Our Managers investment
committee will periodically review our portfolio of assets and investments, our investment objectives and strategy and our investment
guidelines to determine whether they remain in the best interests of our members and may recommend changes to our Board as it deems appropriate.
Our Board does not, and is not required to, review all of our proposed investments. Our Manager may use complex strategies or enter
into costly transactions that are difficult or impossible to unwind by the time they are reviewed by our Board, which could result in
investment returns that are below expectations or that result in losses, and which would materially and adversely affect our business
operations and results.
**We
may change our investment strategy and guidelines without member consent.**

qualified opportunity fund and acquire assets that do not qualify as qualified opportunity zone investments, which could result in our
voluntary or involuntary decertification as a qualified opportunity fund, further resulting in an inclusion event and the recognition
of any tax deferred on account of your investment.
**Our
Operating Agreement contains provisions that substantially limit remedies available to holders of our units for actions that might otherwise
result in liability for our officers, directors, or Manager.**
****
While
our Operating Agreement provides that our officers and directors have fiduciary duties equivalent to those applicable to officers and
directors of a Delaware corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Operating Agreement also provides that our officers
and directors are liable to us or holders of our units for an act or omission only if such act or omission constitutes a breach of the
duties owed to us or the holders of our units, as applicable, by any such officer or director and such breach is the result of (i) willful
malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of law, in each case that has or could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on us or (ii) fraud. Furthermore, our Operating Agreement provides that our Sponsor will not
have any liability to us or any holder of our units for any act or omission and is indemnified in connection therewith.
Under
our Operating Agreement, we, our Board and our Manager are each entitled to take actions or make decisions in our sole discretion
or discretion or that we each deem necessary or appropriate or necessary or advisable. In those
circumstances, we, our Board and our Manager are entitled to consider only such interests and factors as we each desire, including our
own interests, and we have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting
any others of us or any holder of the Companys units, and neither we, our Board nor our Manager will be subject to any different
standards imposed by our Operating Agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or under any other law, rule or regulation or
in equity, except that we each must act in good faith at all times. These modifications of fiduciary duties are expressly permitted by
Delaware law. These modifications restrict the remedies available to the holders of our units for actions that, without such modifications,
may constitute breaches of duty (including fiduciary duty).
**Certain
claims that may be brought against the Company or our Sponsor, Manager, directors, officers, or other agents must be resolved by final
and binding arbitration, which follows a different set of procedures and may be more restrictive than litigation.**
****
Our
Operating Agreement provides that all claims, controversies, or disputes brought by or on behalf of one or more of our members, record
holders or beneficial owners of our units against the Company or our Sponsor, Manager or any of our directors, officers or other agents
must be resolved by final and binding arbitration. As a result, we and our members, record holders and beneficial owners of our units
will not be able to pursue litigation in federal or state court against the Company or our Sponsor, Manager or any of our directors,
officers, or other agents, and instead will be required to pursue such claims through a final and binding arbitration proceeding.
| 20 | |
| Table of Contents | |
Our
Operating Agreement provides that such arbitration proceedings would generally be conducted in accordance with the rules and policies
of the American Arbitration Association. These rules and policies may provide significantly more limited rights than litigation in a
federal or state court. In addition, our Operating Agreement provides that all arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and
confidential, that discovery will be limited to matters directly relevant to issues in the proceeding, and that the parties waive the
right to a jury. Our Operating Agreement also generally provides that each party to an arbitration proceeding is required to bear its
own expenses, including attorneys fees, that the arbitrator may not render an award that includes shifting of costs or expenses
or, in a derivative case, award any portion of the Companys award to any other party or other partys attorneys and that
all arbitrations must take place on an individual basis. The mandatory arbitration provisions of our Operating Agreement may discourage
our members, record holders or beneficial owners of our units from bringing, and attorneys from agreeing to represent such parties in,
claims against the Company or our Sponsor, Manager or any of our directors, officers, or other agents. Any person or entity purchasing
or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in our units shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to our mandatory
arbitration provisions.
The
mandatory arbitration provisions of our Operating Agreement do not relieve us of our duties to comply with, and our members, record holders
and beneficial owners of our units cannot waive our compliance with, the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
We believe that the mandatory arbitration provisions in our Operating Agreement are enforceable under both federal and state law, including
with respect to federal securities law claims, however, there is uncertainty as to their enforceability and it is possible that they
may ultimately be determined to be unenforceable.
**Our
Operating Agreement designates the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have
jurisdiction, the state courts of New York located in the borough of Manhattan, City of New York, as the sole and exclusive forum for
certain claims precluded from resolution pursuant to the mandatory arbitration provision of our Operating Agreement.**
****
Our
Operating Agreement provides that all claims, controversies or disputes brought by or on behalf of one or more of our members, record
holders or beneficial owners of our units against the Company or our Sponsor, Manager or any of our directors, officers or other agents
that are precluded from resolution by mandatory arbitration, must be brought before the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the state courts of New York located in the borough of Manhattan,
City of New York, as the sole and exclusive forum for such preclude claim.
The
portion of our exclusive forum selection provision designating the state courts of New York located in the borough of Manhattan, City
of New York, as the exclusive forum for certain claims precluded from arbitration would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty
or liability created by the Exchange Act, as such claims fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts, however the portion
of our forum selection provision designating the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York would apply to any
such claims. Our exclusive forum selection provision would apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities
Act. The exclusive forum selection provision in our Operating Agreement may discourage our members, record holders or beneficial owners
of our units from bringing, and attorneys from agreeing to represent such parties in, claims against the Company or our Sponsor, Manager
or any of our directors, officers, or other agents. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in
our units shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to our exclusive forum selection provision.
The
exclusive forum selection provision of our Operating Agreement does not relieve us of our duties to comply with, and our members, record
holders and beneficial owners of our units cannot waive our compliance with, the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations
thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum selection provision in our Operating Agreement is enforceable under both federal and
state law, including with respect to federal securities law claims, however, there is uncertainty as to its enforceability and it is
possible that it may ultimately be determined to be unenforceable.
**Holders
of our Class A units have limited voting rights and may be bound by a majority or supermajority vote or by a vote of the holder of our
Class M unit, as applicable.**
****
We
are owned by the holders of our Class A units, Class B units and Class M unit. Each Class A unit and each Class B unit entitles the holder
thereof to one vote per unit. The Class M unit entitles the holder thereof to that number of votes equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(i) the sum of aggregate number of outstanding Class A units plus Class B units, by (ii) 10, on matters on which the holder of our Class
M unit has a vote.
| 21 | |
| Table of Contents | |
The
holders of our Class A units and Class B units have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments
to our Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Class A units or Class B units, as applicable, election of our
directors (other than the Class M Director (as hereinafter defined)), removal of our directors for cause (other than the
Class M Director), and our dissolution. Generally, matters to be voted on by the holders of our Class A units must be approved by a majority
of the votes cast by all Class A units and Class B units, voting together as a single class, that are present in person or represented
by proxy, although the vote to remove a director for cause requires a super-majority, four-fifths vote. If any vote occurs,
you will be bound by the majority or supermajority vote, as applicable, even if you did not vote with the majority or supermajority.
Our
Manager will hold our Class M unit for so long as it remains our manager. Accordingly, our Manager is able to determine the outcome of
all matters on which our Class M unit has a vote. Such matters include certain mergers and acquisitions, certain amendments to our Operating
Agreement and the election of one Class III director (the Class M Director). The Class M unit does not represent an economic
interest in the Company.
**If
we internalize our management functions, your interest in us could be diluted, and we could incur other significant costs associated
with being self-managed.**
****
We
are externally managed by our Manager, who is an affiliate of our Sponsor. We may in the future decide to internalize our management
function and, should we elect do so, we may acquire our Managers or its affiliates, including our Sponsors, assets
and personnel. We, our Operating Companies, and our Manager have entered into a Management Agreement. The terms of the Management Agreement
restrict us from hiring or soliciting any employee of our Manager or its affiliates, including our Sponsor, for a period of two years
from termination of the Management Agreement. In addition, upon any termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement by us our
Manager will be entitled to receive its prorated management fee through the expiration or termination date and will be paid a Termination
Fee equal to six times the annual management fee earned by our Manager during the 12-month period ended as of the last day of the quarter
immediately preceding the termination date; however, if less than 12 months have elapsed as of the termination date, the Termination
Fee will be calculated by annualizing the management fee earned during the most recently completed quarter prior to the termination date.
These provisions could make it costly or difficult for us to internalize management without incurring Termination Fees or acquiring assets
and personnel from our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, for consideration that would be negotiated at the time of any
such acquisition. Any Termination Fees we incur would be paid in cash and any consideration we pay for acquiring assets and personnel
could take many forms, including issuance of units or cash payments, which could directly impact our NAV, by reducing the amount of our
assets, or result in the dilution of your interest in us. If we internalize management, we will no longer pay management fees to our
Manager, however, our direct expenses, such as the compensation and benefits costs and expenses associated with having officers and other
employees and consultants, would increase. In addition, we may issue equity awards to officers, employees and consultants, which awards
would decrease our net income and funds from operations and may further dilute your investment.
**We
will incur additional costs and expenses associated with maintaining our status as a publicly traded partnership and operating as an
Exchange Act reporting company.**
****
We
will incur additional costs and expenses associated with, maintaining our status as a publicly traded partnership and operating as an
Exchange Act reporting company. Costs and expenses that we will incur, include, without limitation, those associated with the preparation
and filing of annual and quarterly reports, federal and state tax returns, Schedule K-1 preparation and distribution, investor relations,
registrar and transfer agent fees, director compensation, accounting and audit fees and incremental insurance costs, including director
and officer liability insurance. It is possible that actual costs and expenses associated with maintain our status as a publicly traded
partnership and operating as an Exchange Act reporting company will be higher than we currently estimate and we may require additional
capital or future earnings to cover these costs and expenses, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition, and cash flows.
**We
are not required to comply with certain reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies.**
****
We
are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act).
As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements
that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company,
we will not be required to:
| 
| have
an auditor attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| submit
certain executive compensation matters to member advisory votes pursuant to the say
on frequency and say on pay provisions (requiring a non-binding member
vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the say on golden
parachute provisions (requiring a non-binding member vote to approve golden parachute
arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other
business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010; or | |
| 22 | |
| Table of Contents | |
| 
| disclose
certain executive compensation related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation
and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officers compensation to median
employee compensation. | |
In
addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with
new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. This means that an emerging
growth company can delay adopting certain accounting standards until such standards are otherwise applicable to private companies. We
have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements
may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates. If we were to subsequently
elect to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
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.
Also,
even once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we still may not be subject to auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act unless we meet the definition of a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer under Section 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act. In addition, so long as we are externally managed by our Manager and we do not directly compensate our executive officers,
or reimburse our Manager or its affiliates for the compensation paid to persons who serve as our executive officers, we do not expect
to include disclosures relating to executive compensation in our periodic reports or proxy statements and, as a result, do not expect
to be required to seek member approval of executive compensation and golden parachute compensation arrangements pursuant to Sections
14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act.
**If
we fail to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to
accurately and timely make our required disclosures or report our financial results.**
****
Effective
disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable disclosures
and financial reports, adequately detect and prevent misstatements and fraud, and operate successfully. If we cannot provide reliable
disclosures and financial reports or detect and prevent misstatements and fraud, our reputation and operating results may be harmed.
We
are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and procedures and improve our internal controls over financial reporting.
We have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources in order to maintain and improve the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. However, any disclosure controls and procedures
or internal controls over financial reporting that we put into place, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving their objectives.
As
a result of the inherent limitations in the design of any system of controls, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls
over financial reporting may not detect or prevent all misstatements and fraud, and we cannot assure you that there will not be significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in future
periods. Moreover, for so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to have an auditor attestation report on
our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and we cannot assure you that the
systems and processes that we have put into place to evaluate and test our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over
financial reporting so as to allow management to report on their effectiveness will be consistently adequate. If our disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting prove to be ineffective and if we are not able to adequately remediate any
deficiencies, investors may lose confidence in our disclosures and reported financial information, which could materially and adversely
affect our business.
**Your
investment returns may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.**
****
We
are engaged primarily in the business of investing in real estate and to conduct our operations such that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries
are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
| 23 | |
| Table of Contents | |
Maintaining
our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act limits our ability to make certain investments. In addition, although
we intend to continuously monitor our holdings, there can be no assurance that we, our Operating Companies or any of the subsidiaries
of our Operating Companies will be able to maintain our exclusion from registration. A change in the value of any of our assets could
negatively affect our ability to maintain our exclusion from registration and we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want
to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise want to retain. In addition, we may have to acquire additional assets that we
might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire assets that we would otherwise want to acquire and would
be important to our investment strategy.
If
we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we would become subject to substantial regulation
with respect to our capital structure (including our ability to use borrowings), management, operations, transactions with affiliated
persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act), and portfolio composition, including disclosure requirements and restrictions with
respect to diversification and industry concentration, and other matters. Compliance with the Investment Company Act would, accordingly,
limit our ability to make certain investments and require us to significantly restructure our business plan. If we were required to register
as an investment company but failed to do so, we could be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could
be brought against us.
**We
enter into joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with affiliates of our Sponsor
and Manager, including Belpointe SP, LLC.**
****
All
of our assets are and will continue to be held by, and all of our operations are and will continue to be conducted through our Operating
Companies, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries. To expand our investment portfolio, we will continue to enter into joint
ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with affiliates of our Sponsor and Manager,
such as Belpointe SP, LLC (Belpointe SP), or its affiliates (together with Belpointe SP, the Belpointe SP Group),
as well as independent developers and owners.
We
have and will continue to acquire interests in properties where a member of the Belpointe SP Group will act as general partner or co-general
partner, manager or co-manager, developer or co-developer, or any of the foregoing, all of which will be structured in one of the following
formats:
| 
| A
member of the Belpointe SP Group will act as the general partner, manager or managing member
of joint ventures in which our Operating Companies, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries,
will participate as limited partners or non-managing members, to acquire stabilized cash
flow generating real estate-related assets, including commercial real estate loans and mortgages,
and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies, select private equity
investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified
opportunity zone businesses. | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| A
member of the Belpointe SP Group will act as the general partner, manager or managing member
of joint ventures in which our Operating Companies, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries,
will participate as limited partners or non-managing members and a member of the Belpointe
SP Group will act as the developer of the projects owned by the joint ventures. | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| A
member of the Belpointe SP Group retain the services of a local developer to create a Belpointe
satellite office, which will act as the developer for multiple joint venture projects within
specific regions of the United States and its territories. These satellite offices will enable
us to increase our presence and expertise in multiple regions. | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| Our
Manager or a member of Belpointe SP Group will set up exclusive programmatic joint ventures
with experienced regional developers to co-invest and co-develop in one or more projects
within specific regions of the United States and its territories. A member of the Belpointe
SP Group will act as the general partner, manager or managing member of the programmatic
joint ventures with subsidiaries of our Operating Companies, directly or indirectly through
subsidiaries, participating as limited partners or non-managing members. These programmatic
joint ventures will enable us to increase our presence and expertise in multiple regions. | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| Our
Manager or a member of the Belpointe SP Group will enter into joint ventures with experienced
local developers to co-invest and co-develop projects on a deal-by-deal basis. A member of
the Belpointe SP Group will act as the general partner, manager or managing member of the
joint ventures with our Operating Companies, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries,
participating as limited partners or non-managing members. A member of the Belpointe SP Group
may act as the co-developer of projects with the joint venture partners and developers. | |
| 24 | |
| Table of Contents | |
| 
| Our
Manager or a member of the Belpointe SP Group will enter into joint ventures with independent
third-party experienced local developers to co-invest and co-develop on our behalf. The joint
venture partners and developers will typically act as the general partner or managing member
for the joint ventures with our Operating Companies, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries,participating
as the limited partners or non-managing members. | |
Any
membership interests that members of the Belpointe SP Group hold in our joint venture investments in their capacity as a general partner,
manager or managing member will be exempt from paying any promotes.
Under
these joint venture arrangements, members of the Belpointe SP Group, their development affiliates and co-development partners will be
entitled to receive project level fees, reimbursement by the joint ventures for fees and expenses, their promoted interest on a deal-by-deal
basis and other fees. If a joint venture includes third party limited partners or non-managing members, in addition to a directly or
indirectly owned subsidiary of one of our Operating Companies, the general partner, manager or managing member of that joint venture,
including members of the Belpointe SP Group, will receive a promoted interest on capital invested by all limited partners or non-managing
members, however the promoted interest on third-party limited partners or non-managing members capital may be different
from the promoted interest on our capital.
**We
may make a substantial amount of joint venture investments, including with affiliates of our Manager and Sponsor, such as members of
the Belpointe SP Group. Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance
on the financial condition of our joint venture partners and disputes between us and our joint venture partners.**
****
We
may co-invest in joint ventures with affiliates of our Manager and Sponsor, including members of the Belpointe SP Group, or third parties
in partnerships or other entities that own real estate properties. We may acquire non-controlling interests in joint ventures. Even if
we have some control in a joint venture, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the joint
venture. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were another party not involved, including
the possibility that joint venture partners might become bankrupt, fail to fund their required capital contributions or commit fraud
or other bad acts. Joint venture partners may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business
interests or goals and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the
potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the joint venture partner would have full control over
the joint venture. Disputes between us and joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses
and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with
joint venture partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain
circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venture partners.
If
we have a right of first refusal to buy out a joint venture partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out if it becomes exercisable
or we are required to purchase such interest at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so. If our interest
is subject to a buy/sell right, we may not have sufficient cash, available borrowing capacity or other capital resources to allow us
to elect to purchase an interest of a joint venture partner subject to the buy/sell right, in which case we may be forced to sell our
interest as the result of the exercise of such right when we would otherwise prefer to keep our interest. In some joint ventures we may
be obligated to buy all or a portion of our joint venture partners interest in connection with a crystallization event, and we
may be unable to finance such a buy-out when such crystallization event occurs, which may result in interest or other penalties accruing
on the purchase price. If we buy our joint venture partners interest, we will have increased exposure in the underlying investment.
The price we use to buy our joint venture partners interest or sell our interest is typically determined by negotiations between
us and our joint venture partner and there is no assurance that such price will be representative of the value of the underlying property
or equal to our then-current valuation of our interest in the joint venture that is used to calculate our NAV. Finally, we may not be
able to sell our interest in a joint venture if we desire to exit the venture for any reason or if our interest is likewise subject to
a right of first refusal of our joint venture partner, our ability to sell such interest may be adversely impacted by such right. Joint
ownership arrangements with affiliates of our Manager and Sponsor, including members of the Belpointe SP Group, may also entail further
conflicts of interest. Some additional risks and conflicts related to our joint venture investments (including joint venture investments
with our Manager, Sponsor and members of the Belpointe SP Group) include:
| 
| the
joint venture partner may have economic or other interests that are inconsistent with our
interests, including interests relating to the financing, management, operation, leasing
or sale of the assets purchased by such joint venture; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| tax,
Investment Company Act and other regulatory requirements applicable to the joint venture
partner may cause it to want to take actions contrary to our interests; | |
| 25 | |
| Table of Contents | |
| 
| the
joint venture partner may have joint control of the joint venture even in cases where its
economic stake in the joint venture is significantly less than ours; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| under
the joint venture arrangement, neither we nor the joint venture partner will be in a position
to unilaterally control the joint venture, and deadlocks may occur. Such deadlocks could
adversely impact the operations and profitability of the joint venture, including as a result
of the inability of the joint venture to act quickly in connection with a potential acquisition
or disposition. In addition, depending on the governance structure of such joint venture
partner, decisions of such vehicle may be subject to approval by individuals who are independent
of us; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| under
the joint venture arrangement, we and the joint venture partner may have a buy/sell right
and, as a result of an impasse that triggers the exercise of such right, we may be forced
to sell our investment in the joint venture, or buy the joint venture partners share
of the joint venture at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do
so; and | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| our
participation in investments in which a joint venture partner participates will be less than
what our participation would have been had such other vehicle not participated, and because
there may be no limit on the amount of capital that such joint venture partner can raise,
the degree of our participation in such investments may decrease over time. | |
Furthermore,
we may have conflicting fiduciary obligations if we acquire properties with our affiliates or other related entities; as a result, in
any such transaction we may not have the benefit of arms-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated
parties.
**Operational
risks may disrupt our business, result in losses or limit our growth.**

rely heavily on our Sponsors financial, accounting, communications and other data processing systems. Such systems may fail to
operate properly or become disabled as a result of tampering or a breach of the network security systems or otherwise. In addition, such
systems are from time to time subject to cyberattacks. Breaches of our Sponsors network security systems could involve attacks
that are intended to obtain unauthorized access to our proprietary information or personal identifying information of holders of our
Class A units, destroy data or disable, degrade or sabotage our systems, often through the introduction of computer viruses, cyberattacks
and other means and could originate from a wide variety of sources, including unknown third parties outside of our Sponsor. Although
our Sponsor takes various measures to ensure the integrity of such systems, there can be no assurance that these measures will provide
protection. If such systems are compromised, do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of
our businesses, liability to investors, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.
In
addition, we rely on third-party service providers for certain aspects of our business, including for certain information systems, technology
and administration. Any interruption or deterioration in the performance of these third parties or failures of their information systems
and technology could impair the quality of our operations and could affect our reputation and hence adversely affect our business.
**If
our techniques for managing risk are ineffective, we may be exposed to unanticipated losses.**
****
In
order to manage the significant risks inherent in our business, we must maintain effective policies, procedures and systems that enable
us to identify, monitor and control our exposure to market, operational, legal and reputational risks. Our risk management methods may
prove to be ineffective due to their design or implementation or as a result of the lack of adequate, accurate or timely information.
If our risk management efforts are ineffective, we could suffer losses or face litigation and sanctions or fines from regulators.
Our
techniques for managing risks may not fully mitigate the risk exposure in all economic or market environments, or against all types of
risk, including risks that we might fail to identify or anticipate. Any failures in our risk management techniques and strategies to
accurately quantify such risk exposure could limit our ability to manage risks or to seek positive, risk-adjusted returns. In addition,
any risk management failures could cause fund losses to be significantly greater than historical measures predict.

**Risks
Related to our Assets and Investments**
****
**Our
success is dependent on general market and economic conditions as well as numerous other factors outside of our control.**
Our
activities and investments may be adversely affected by changes in market, economic, political or regulatory conditions, such as fluctuations
in real estate market prices, rising interest rates, availability of credit, credit defaults, rising inflation rates, supply chain disruptions,
labor shortages, economic uncertainty, instability in the banking system, changes in laws (including laws relating to taxation of us
or of our investments), and national and international political, environmental and socioeconomic circumstances (including disease outbreaks,
wars, cyberattacks, terrorist acts or security operations), such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war or
changes in U.S. policy that may lead to significant increases in tariffs for imported goods, which may strain international trade relations
and increase the risk of retaliatory tariffs imposed by foreign governments on goods imported from the U.S., as well as by numerous other
factors outside of our control. In addition, our financial condition may be adversely affected by an economic downturn, related to market,
economic or political instability, or otherwise. A recession, slowdown or sustained downturn in the U.S. or global economy (or any particular
segment thereof), inflationary pressures or the weakening of credit markets could adversely affect the value of our investments and our
profitability, impede our ability to perform under or refinance our existing obligations, and impair our ability to effectively deploy
our capital or effectively exit or realize upon investments on favorable terms. It is not possible for us to predict whether or to what
extent these factors may negatively impact economies around the world, including the U.S., and if any of the foregoing market, economic
or political issues are not managed appropriately, they could impair our profitability or result in substantial or total losses to us
in respect of certain investments, which losses may be exacerbated by our use of leverage.
**Recent
uncertainty surrounding legislation, regulation and governmental policy at the U.S. federal level could lead to disruptions in or have
the effect of negatively impacting our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.**
****
There
is significant uncertainty surrounding legislation, regulation and government policy at the U.S. federal level, as well as uncertainty
at certain state and local government levels. Recent events have lead to a climate of heightened ambiguity and introduced new and difficult-to-quantify
macroeconomic and political risks with potentially far-reaching implications. The current U.S. federal governments ongoing changes
to U.S. policy may impact the U.S. and global economies, international trade and relations, unemployment rates, energy prices, tariffs,
immigration, taxes, inflation and the general U.S. regulatory environment, among other things. Although we cannot predict the impact,
if any, of these changes on our business activities and investments, they could negatively affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
**Our
cash, cash equivalents and other investments may be adversely effected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash, cash
equivalents and other investments were to fail.**
****
We
regularly maintain cash balances in third-party financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
insurance limit. If our financial institutions were to enter into receivership or become insolvent in the future as a result of economic
or financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents
and other investments may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
**The
market in which we participate is competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.**
****
We
face competition from various entities for investment opportunities, including other qualified opportunity funds, REITs, Delaware statutory
trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, private equity and other alternative investment funds and companies, partnerships and developers.
In addition to third-party competitors, other programs sponsored by our Sponsor and its affiliates, especially those with investment
strategies that are similar to our own, may compete with us for investment opportunities.
Most
of our current or potential competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Larger
competitors may also enjoy significant advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating
efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase over time.
Any such increase would result in greater demand for investment opportunities and could result in our acquiring assets and investments
at higher prices or using less-than-ideal capital structures. If we pay higher prices for our assets and investments, our returns could
be lower and the value of our assets and investments may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the prices paid, and you
may experience a lower than anticipated return on your investment.
**We
are subject to fraud risk, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.**
****
Bad
actors are using increasingly sophisticated schemes to engage in illegal activities such as mortgage and loan fraud, and we may be required
to devote significant financial resources to discovering and discouraging fraudulent activities. Furthermore, fraudulent activities could
result in increased costs and expenses, including litigation expenses, diversion of management time, and other disruptions to our operations,
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 Chens fraud and Galinns negligence, and had Galinn done adequate due diligence, or
reviewed the publicly available filings on the State of Connecticuts Business Records website, or even a basic Google search,
Chens 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 Galinns claims, and continue to vigorously defend the matter.
**Our
performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry.**
****
The
real estate industry is cyclical in nature, and a deterioration of real estate fundamentals generally, and in the areas where our properties
are located in particular, will have an adverse effect on the performance of our investments. The value of real estate assets and real
estate-related investments can fluctuate for various reasons. The following factors, among others, may adversely affect the real estate
industry, including our properties, and could therefore adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations:
| 
| interest
rate fluctuations and lack of availability of financing; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| changes
in national, regional or local economic, demographic or capital market conditions; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| persistent
inflation; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| a
lack of appropriate real estate investment opportunities, including appropriate qualified
opportunity zone investment opportunities; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| disease
outbreaks; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| acts
of war, cyberattacks or terrorism; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| bank
liquidity; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| increases
in borrowing rates; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| changes
in environmental and zoning laws; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| fluctuations
in energy costs; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| overbuilding
and increased competition for properties targeted by our investment strategy; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| future
adverse national real estate trends, including increasing vacancy rates, declining rental
rates and general deterioration of market conditions; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| changes
in supply and demand fundamentals; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| limitations,
reductions or eliminations of tax benefits; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| casualty
or condemnation losses; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| bankruptcy,
financial difficulty or lease default of a major tenant; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| regulatory
limitations on rent; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| increased
mortgage defaults and the availability of mortgage funds which may render the sale or refinancing
of properties difficult or impracticable; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| changes
in laws, regulations and fiscal policies, including increases in property taxes and limitations
on rental rates; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| natural
disasters, severe weather patterns and similar events; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| declines
in consumer confidence and spending; and | |
| 28 | |
| Table of Contents | |
| 
| public
perception that any of the above events may occur. | |
All
of these factors are beyond our control. Moreover, certain significant expenditures associated with real estate (such as real estate
taxes, maintenance costs and, where applicable, mortgage payments) have no relationship with, and thus do not diminish in proportion
to, a reduction in income from the property. Any negative changes in these factors could impair our ability to meet our obligations and
make distributions to holders of our Class A units and could adversely impact our ability to effectively achieve our investment objectives
and reduce the overall returns on our investments.
**Real
estate investments are subject to general industry downturns as well as downturns in specific geographic regions. We cannot predict occupancy
levels for a particular property or whether any tenant or mortgage or other real estate related loan borrower will remain solvent. We
also cannot predict the future value of our investments. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that you will receive cash distributions.**
****
Real
estate investments are subject to general downturns in the industry as well as downturns in specific geographic regions. For example,
as of the date of this Form 10-K, a majority of our investments are located in Florida. Historically Florida has been at greater risk
of acts of nature such as hurricanes and tropical storms and has been subject to more pronounced real estate downturns than other regions.
Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be particularly susceptible to downturns or changes in the
local Florida economies where we operate. Moreover, we cannot predict occupancy levels for a particular property or whether any tenant
or mortgage or other real estate related loan borrower will remain solvent. We also cannot predict the future value of our investments.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that you will receive cash distributions.
**There
are significant risks associated with the development or redevelopment of our real estate investments that may prevent their completion
on budget and on schedule and which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.**
****
We
may engage in extensive development or redevelopment activities with respect to our real estate investments, including, without limitation,
grading and installing roads, sidewalks, gutters, utility improvements (such as storm drains, water, gas, sewer, power and communications),
landscaping and shared amenities (such as community buildings, neighborhood parks, trails and open spaces). Such development and redevelopment
activities entail risks that could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations, including:
| 
| construction
costs, which may exceed our original estimates due to increases in materials, labor or other
costs, which could make the project less profitable; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| permitting
or construction delays, which may result in increased debt service expense and increased
project costs, as well as deferred revenue; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| supply
chain issues or other unavailability of raw materials when needed, which may result in project
delays, stoppages or interruptions, which could make the project less profitable; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| federal,
state and local grants to complete certain highways, interchange, bridge projects or other
public improvements may not be available, which could increase costs and make the project
less profitable; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| availability
and timely receipt of zoning and other regulatory approvals to develop or redevelop our properties
for a particular use or with respect to a particular improvement; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| claims
for warranty, product liability and construction defects after a property has been built; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| claims
for injuries that occur in the course of construction activities; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| poor
performance or nonperformance by, or disputes with, any of our contractors, subcontractors
or other third parties on whom we will rely; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| health
and safety incidents and site accidents; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| unforeseen
engineering, environmental or geological problems, which may result in delays or increased
costs; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| labor
shortages, slowdowns or interruptions; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| compliance
with environmental planning and protection regulations and related legal proceedings; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| liabilities,
expenses or project delays, stoppages or interruptions as a result of challenges by third
parties in legal proceedings; | |
| 
| | | |
| 
| delay
or inability to acquire property, rights of way or easements that may result in delays or
increased costs; | |
| 29 | |
| Table of Contents | |
| 
| 
| 
acts
of war, cyberattacks or terrorism; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
weather-related
and geological interference, including landslides, earthquakes, floods, drought, wildfires and other events, which may result in
delays or increased costs. | |
We
cannot assure you that projects will be completed on schedule or that construction costs will not exceed budgeted amounts. Failure to
complete development or redevelopment activities on budget or on schedule may adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
**Our
Managers due diligence may not reveal all factors or risks affecting an investment.**
There
can be no assurance that our Managers due diligence processes will uncover all relevant facts that would be material to an investment
decision. Before making an investment, our Manager will assess the strength of the underlying asset and any other factors that it believes
are material to the performance of the investment. In making the assessment and otherwise conducting customary due diligence, our Manager
will rely on the resources available to it and, in some cases, investigations by third parties.
**Actual
rents we receive may be less than estimated, operating expenses may be higher than anticipated and we may experience a decline in rental
rates from time to time, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.**
As
a result of potential factors, including competitive pricing pressure in our markets, a general economic downturn and the desirability
of our properties compared to other properties in our markets, we may be unable to realize our estimated market rents across the properties
in our portfolio or operating expenses at properties in our portfolio may be higher than anticipated. In addition, depending on market
rental rates at any given time as compared to expiring leases on properties in our portfolio, from time-to-time rental rates for expiring
leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rental rates across our portfolio,
or operating expenses are higher than anticipated, our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted.
**Properties
that have significant vacancies could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on these properties.**
A
property may incur vacancies either by the expiration of tenant leases or the continued default of tenants under their leases. If vacancies
continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available for distributions. In addition, the
resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of our properties will depend principally upon the value of
the cash flow generated by the leases associated with that property. Such a reduction in the resale value of a property could also reduce
the value of your investment.
Further,
a decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which our investments are located or in the U.S. generally could lead to an
increase in tenant defaults, lower rental rates, and less demand for commercial real estate space in those markets. As a result of these
trends, we may be more inclined to provide leasing incentives to our tenants in order to compete in a more competitive leasing environment.
Such trends may result in reduced revenue and lower resale value of properties.
**We
may enter into long-term leases with tenants in certain properties, which may not result in fair market rental rates over time.**
We
may enter into long-term leases with tenants of certain of our properties or include renewal options that specify a maximum rate increase.
These leases often provide for rent to increase over time; however, if we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market
rental rates, we may set the terms of these long-term leases at levels such that, even after contractual rent increases, the rent under
our long-term leases is less than then-current market rates. Further, we may have no ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the
rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, our cash available for distributions could be lower than if we did not enter into
long-term leases.
**Certain
properties that we acquire may not have efficient alternative uses and we may have difficulty leasing them to new tenants or have to
make significant capital expenditures to get them to do so.**
Certain
properties that we acquire may be difficult to lease to new tenants, should the current tenant terminate or choose not to renew its lease.
These properties will generally have received significant tenant-specific improvements and only very specific tenants may be able to
use such improvements, making the properties very difficult to re-lease in their current condition. Additionally, an interested tenant
may demand that, as a condition of executing a lease for the property, we finance and construct significant improvements so that the
tenant could use the property. This expense may decrease cash available for distribution, as we likely would have to (i) pay for the
improvements up-front or (ii) finance the improvements at potentially unattractive terms.
| 30 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**We
depend on tenants for our revenue, and lease defaults or terminations could reduce our net income and limit our ability to pay distributions.**
The
success of our investments materially depends on the financial stability of our tenants. A default or termination by a tenant on its
lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease and require us to find an alternative source of revenue
to meet mortgage payments and prevent a foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage. In the event of a tenant default or bankruptcy,
we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing
our property. If a tenant defaults on or terminates a lease, we may be unable to lease the property for the rent previously received
or sell the property without incurring a loss. These events could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions we pay.
**If
any of our significant tenants were adversely affected by a material business downturn or were to become bankrupt or insolvent, our results
of operations could be adversely affected.**
General
and regional economic conditions may adversely affect our major tenants and potential tenants in our markets. Our major tenants may experience
a material business downturn, which could potentially result in a failure to make timely rental payments or a default under their leases.
In many cases, through tenant improvement allowances and other concessions, we will have made substantial up-front investments in the
applicable leases that we may not be able to recover. In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights
and may also incur substantial costs to protect our investments.
The
bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or lease guarantor may adversely affect the income produced by our properties and may delay
our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums altogether.
If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages that is limited in amount
and which may only be paid to the extent that funds are available and in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured
claims.
If
any of our significant tenants were to become bankrupt or insolvent, suffer a downturn in their business, default under their leases,
fail to renew their leases or renew on terms less favorable to us than their current terms, our results of operations and cash flow could
be adversely affected.
**We
expect to acquire primarily qualified opportunity zone investments, with a focus on markets with favorable risk-return characteristics.
If our investments in these geographic areas experience adverse economic conditions, our investments may lose value and we may experience
losses.**
Our
initial investments consist of and are expected to continue to consist of properties located in qualified opportunity zones for the development
or redevelopment of multifamily, student housing, senior living, healthcare, industrial, self-storage, hospitality, office, mixed-use,
data centers and solar projects located throughout the United States and its territories. These qualified opportunity zone investments
will carry the risks associated with certain markets where we acquire properties. Consequently, we may experience losses as a result
of being overly concentrated in certain geographic areas. A worsening of economic conditions in U.S. markets and, in particular, the
markets where we end up acquiring properties, could have an adverse effect on our business and could impair the value of our collateral.
**Actions
of any joint venture partners that we may have in the future could reduce the returns on joint venture investments and decrease your
overall investment return.**
We
enter into joint ventures to acquire properties and other assets and investments. We may also purchase and develop properties in joint
ventures or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present
with other methods of investment, including, for example, the risks:
| 
| 
| 
that
our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment could become insolvent or bankrupt; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
that
our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner in an investment could engage in certain bad acts, such as fraud or intentional misrepresentation,
intentional waste, willful misconduct, criminal acts, misappropriation of funds, that would increase our expenses or result in other
liabilities to us; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
that
such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or that become inconsistent
with our business interests or goals; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
that
such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be delegated certain day-to-day property operating procedures; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
that
such co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may be in a position to act contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies
or objectives; or | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
that
disputes between us and our co-venturer, co-tenant or partner may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses
and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our operations. | |
| 31 | |
| Table of Contents | |
Any
of the above might subject an investment to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and thus reduce our returns on that investment
and the value of your investment.
**We
intend to seek opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses.**
We
intend to seek opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses using our equity
as transaction consideration. These acquisitions will involve significant challenges and risks, including, without limitation, regulatory
complexities associated with integrating other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses into our organizational
structure in a manner that is consistent with our intended qualification as a publicly traded partnership and qualified opportunity fund,
new regulatory requirements and compliance risks that we may become subject to as a result of acquisitions, unforeseen or hidden liabilities
or costs that may adversely affect our NAV following such acquisitions, and the risk that any of our proposed acquisitions do not close.
Any of these challenges could disrupt our ongoing operations, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
**Costs
imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce our net income and the cash available for distributions.**
Real
property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection
of the environment and human health. We could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with
these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal
of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials,
the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building
materials and other health and safety-related concerns.
Some
of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs
to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether
the acts causing the contamination were legal. Activities of our tenants, the condition of properties at the time we buy them, operations
in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect
our properties.
The
presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly manage, insure, bond over, or remediate these substances, may hinder our
ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties or damages
we must pay will reduce our ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of your investment.
**The
costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating
any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distributions.**
Under
various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator
may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could
be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of
such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property
may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into
leases with prospective tenants that may be impacted by such laws. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may
be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles
could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and
lead-based paint. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated
with exposure to released hazardous substances and governments may seek recovery for natural resource damage. The costs of defending
against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property,
or of paying personal injury, property damage or natural resource damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to
you.
| 32 | |
| Table of Contents | |
We
expect that all of our properties will be subject to Phase I environmental assessments at the time they are acquired; however, such assessments
may not provide complete environmental histories due, for example, to limited available information about prior operations at the properties
or other gaps in information at the time we acquire the property. A Phase I environmental assessment is an initial environmental investigation
to identify potential environmental liabilities associated with the current and past uses of a given property. If any of our properties
were found to contain hazardous or toxic substances after our acquisition, the value of our investment could decrease below the amount
paid for such investment.
**Costs
associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions.**
Our
properties may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the ADA). Under the ADA, all places
of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate
compliance requirements for public accommodations and commercial facilities that generally require that buildings
and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The ADAs requirements could require removal of access
barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Any funds
used for ADA compliance will reduce our net income and the amount of cash available for distributions to you.
**Uninsured
losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce our cash flows and the amounts
available for distributions.**
There
are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes,
pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such
as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums
we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, mortgage lenders in some cases insist that commercial property
owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available
at reasonable costs, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be
required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may
not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our
assets will be reduced by any such uninsured or under insured loss, which may reduce the value of your investment. In addition, other
than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured
or under insured property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings
that would result in lower distributions to you.
**Many
of our investments are illiquid and we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.**
Many
factors that are beyond our control affect the market for commercial real estate, real estate-related assets and private equity investments
and could affect our ability to sell assets and investments for the price, on the terms or within the time frame that we desire. These
factors include general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand.
Because commercial real estate, real estate-related assets and private equity investments are relatively illiquid, we have a limited
ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Further, before we can sell an investment on the
terms we want, it may be necessary to expend funds to improve our investments. However, we can give no assurance that we will have the
funds available make such improvements. As a result, we expect many of our investments will be illiquid, and if we are required to liquidate
all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded our
investments and our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited,
which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
**Declines
in the market values of our investments may adversely affect results of operations and credit availability, which may reduce earnings
and, in turn, cash available for distributions.**
A
decline in the market value of our assets may adversely affect us particularly in instances where we have borrowed money based on the
market value of those assets. If the market value of those assets decline, the lender may require us to post additional collateral to
support the loan. If we were unable to post the additional collateral, we may have to sell assets at a time when we might not otherwise
choose to do so. A reduction in credit available may reduce our earnings and, in turn, cash available for distributions.
Further,
credit facility providers may require us to maintain a certain amount of cash reserves or to set aside unlevered assets sufficient to
maintain a specified liquidity position, which would allow us to satisfy our collateral obligations. As a result, we may not be able
to leverage our assets as fully as we would choose, which could reduce our return on equity. In the event that we are unable to meet
these contractual obligations, our financial condition could deteriorate rapidly.

| Table of Contents | |
Market
values of our investments may decline for a number of reasons, such as changes in prevailing market capitalization rates, increases in
market vacancy, or decreases in market rents.
**If
we sell a property by providing financing to the purchaser, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser, which could delay or reduce
the cash available for distributions.**
If
we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for cash; however, in some instances, we may
sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to a purchaser, we will bear the risk that the purchaser
may default, which could reduce our cash available for distributions. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of
the proceeds of the sale to holders of our Class A units, or the reinvestment of the proceeds in other assets, will be delayed until
the promissory note or other property we may accept upon a sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed.
**Risks
Related to Conflicts of Interest**
**There
are conflicts of interest between us, our Manager, and its affiliates.**
Our
executive officers, Brandon Lacoff and Martin Lacoff, are executive officers of our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor.
Prevailing market rates are determined by our Manager based on industry standards and expectations of what our Manager would be able
to negotiate with a third party on an arms length basis. All of the agreements and arrangements between us and our Manager or
its affiliates, including those relating to compensation, are not the result of arms length negotiations with an unaffiliated
third party. Some of the conflicts inherent in our transactions with our Manager and its affiliates, and the limitations on our Manager
and its affiliates adopted to address these conflicts, are described below. We, our Manager, and its affiliates will try to balance our
interests with their own. However, to the extent that our Manager and its affiliates take actions that are more favorable to other entities
than us, these actions could have a negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to the holders of
our Class A units and the NAV of our Class A units.
**The
interests of our Manager, and its affiliates may conflict with your interests.**
The
Management Agreement provides our Manager with broad powers and authority which may result in one or more conflicts of interest between
your interests and those of our Manager and its affiliates. This risk is increased by our Sponsor and our Manager being controlled by
Brandon Lacoff and Martin Lacoff, who currently participate, and are expected to sponsor and participate, directly or indirectly, in
other offerings by our Sponsor and its affiliates. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
| 
| 
| 
our
Sponsor, Manager, and their affiliates may continue to offer other real estate, real estate-related and private equity investment
opportunities, including additional offerings similar to this offering, and may make investments in assets for their own respective
accounts, whether or not competitive with our business; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
Sponsor, Manager, and their affiliates will not be required to disgorge any profits, fees or other compensation they may receive
from any other business they own or operate separately from us, and you will not be entitled to receive or share in any of the profits,
returns, fees or other compensation from any other business owned or operated by our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
may engage our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates to perform services at prevailing market rates. Prevailing market rates are determined
by our Manager based on industry standards and expectations of what our Sponsor and our Manager would be able to negotiate with a
third party on an arms length basis; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
Sponsor, Manager and their affiliates are not required to devote all of their time and efforts to our business and affairs. | |
**Holders
of our Class A units have no right to enforce the obligations of our Sponsor, Manager, or any of their or our affiliates under the terms
of any agreements with the Company.**
Our
agreements between the Company, on one hand, and our Sponsor, Manager, or any of their or our affiliates, on the other, do not grant
to the holders of our Class A units, separate and apart from the Company, the right to enforce the terms of such agreements or any obligations
of our Sponsor, Manager or their or our affiliates in favor of the Company.
| 34 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**The
management fee our Manager is entitled to receive is based on our NAV and our Manager is ultimately responsible for calculating our NAV.**
We
are obligated to pay our Manager a quarterly management fee at an annualized rate of 0.75%. The management fee is based on our NAV, as
calculated and adjusted by our Manager at the end of each quarter. We will announce our NAV within approximately 60 days of the last
day of each quarter. Our NAV is calculated using a process designed to produce a fair and accurate estimate of the price that would be
received for our assets and investments in an arms-length transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller in possession
of all material information about our assets and investments. As with any asset valuation protocol, the conclusions reached by our Manager
or any third-party firm that we engage to prepare or assist with preparing the NAV of our Class A units involve significant judgments,
assumptions, and opinions in the application of both observable and unobservable attributes that may or may not prove to be correct.
It is important to note that the determination of our NAV is not based on, nor is it intended to comply with, fair value standards under
U.S. GAAP, and our NAV may not be indicative of the price that we would receive for our assets at current market conditions. There can
be no assurance that the judgments, assumptions, and opinions used by our Manager to calculate our NAV, or the resulting NAV, are the
same as those judgments, assumptions and opinions that would be used, or the NAV that would be calculated, by an independent third-party
firm. In addition, our Manager may benefit from our retaining ownership of our assets and investments in order to avoid a reduction in
our NAV at times when the holders of our Class A units may be better served by the sale or disposition of our assets or investments.
If our NAV is calculated in a way that is not reflective of our actual NAV, then the purchase price of shares of our Class A units may
not accurately reflect the value of our assets and investments, and your Class A units may be worth less than the purchase price paid.
**Risks
Related to Sources of Financing and Hedging**
**We
may incur significant debt, which may subject us to increased risk of loss and may reduce cash available for distributions.**
Subject
to market conditions and availability, we may incur significant debt through bank credit facilities (including term loans and revolving
facilities), repurchase agreements, warehouse facilities and structured financing arrangements, public and private debt issuances, and
derivative instruments, in addition to transaction or asset specific funding arrangements. The percentage of leverage we employ will
vary depending on our available capital, our ability to obtain and access financing arrangements with lenders, debt restrictions contained
in those financing arrangements and the lenders and rating agencies estimate of the stability of our investment portfolios
cash flow. Our targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the corporate level or on assets under development or
renovation, after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized properties, is between 50-70% of the greater of cost (before
deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. 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. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion. Incurring substantial
debt could subject us to many risks that, if realized, would materially and adversely affect us, including the risk that:
| 
| 
| 
our
cash flow from operations may be insufficient to make required payments of principal of and interest on the debt or we may fail to
comply with all of the other covenants contained in the debt, which is likely to result in (i) acceleration of such debt (and any
other debt containing a cross-default or cross-acceleration provision) that we may be unable to repay from internal funds or to refinance
on favorable terms, or at all, (ii) our inability to borrow unused amounts under our financing arrangements, even if we are current
in payments on borrowings under those arrangements or pay distributions of excess cash flow held in reserve by such financing sources,
or (iii) the loss of some or all of our assets to foreclosure or sale; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
debt may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions with no assurance that investment yields will increase
with higher financing costs; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds
available for operations, future business opportunities, distributions to holders of our Class A units or other purposes; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
are not able to refinance debt that matures prior to the investment it was used to finance on favorable terms, or at all. | |
There
can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful.
| 35 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**Any
lending facilities will likely impose restrictive covenants.**
Any
lending facilities which we enter into would be expected to contain customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants
that, among other things, may affect our ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments or acquisitions, reduce liquidity
below certain levels, pay distributions, redeem debt or equity securities and impact our flexibility to determine our operating policies
and investment strategies. For example, such loan documents may contain negative covenants that limit, among other things, our ability
to distribute more than a certain amount of our net income or funds from operations to holders of our Class A units, employ leverage
beyond certain amounts, sell assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, grant liens, and enter into transactions with affiliates (including
amending the Management Agreement with our Manager in a material respect). If we fail to meet or satisfy any such covenants, we would
likely be in default under these agreements, and the lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable, terminate their
commitments, require the posting of additional collateral, and enforce their interests against existing collateral. We could also become
subject to cross-default and acceleration rights and, with respect to collateralized debt, the posting of additional collateral and foreclosure
rights upon default.
**Interest
rate fluctuations could increase our financing costs and reduce our ability to generate income on our investments, each of which could
lead to a significant decrease in our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments.**
Our
primary interest rate exposures will relate to the yield on our investments and the financing cost of our debt, as well as any interest
rate derivatives that we utilize for hedging purposes. Changes in interest rates will affect our net interest income, which is the difference
between the income we earn on our investments and the interest expense we incur in financing these investments. Interest rate fluctuations
resulting in our interest expense exceeding income would result in operating losses for us. Changes in the level of interest rates also
may affect our ability to invest in investments, the value of our investments and our ability to realize gains from the disposition of
assets and investments.
To
the extent that our financing costs will be determined by reference to floating rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)
or a Treasury index, plus a margin, the amount of such costs will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, (i)
for collateralized debt, the value and liquidity of the collateral, and for non-collateralized debt, our credit, (ii) the level and movement
of interest rates, and (iii) general market conditions and liquidity. In a period of rising interest rates, our interest expense on floating
rate debt would increase, while any income we earn may not compensate for such increase in interest expense.
Our
operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income earned on our investments, net of credit losses, and our financing
costs. For any period during which our investments are not match-funded, the income earned on such investments may respond more slowly
to interest rate fluctuations than the cost of our borrowings. Consequently, changes in interest rates, particularly short-term interest
rates, may immediately and significantly decrease our results of operations and cash flows and the market value of our investments.
**Hedging
against interest rate exposure may adversely affect our earnings, limit our gains or result in losses, which could adversely affect cash
available for distributions.**
We
may enter into interest rate swap agreements or pursue other interest rate hedging strategies. Our hedging activity will vary in scope
based on the level of interest rates, the type and expected duration of portfolio investments held, and other changing market conditions.
Interest rate hedging may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:
| 
| 
| 
interest
rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
available
interest rate hedging may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability or asset; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign
our side of the hedging transaction; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
may purchase a hedge that turns out not to be necessary (i.e., a hedge that is out of the money). | |
Any
hedging activity we engage in may adversely affect our earnings, which could adversely affect cash available for distributions. Therefore,
while we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in interest rates may result in
poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation
between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions being hedged or
liabilities being hedged may vary materially. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation
between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving
the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss.
| 36 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**Hedging
instruments are often not traded on regulated exchanges or guaranteed by an exchange or its clearing house and involve risks and costs
that could result in material losses.**
The
cost of using hedging instruments increases as the period covered by the instrument increases and during periods of rising and volatile
interest rates, we may increase our hedging activity and thus increase our hedging costs during periods when interest rates are volatile
or rising and hedging costs have increased. In addition, hedging instruments involve risk since they are often not traded on regulated
exchanges or guaranteed by an exchange or its clearing house. Consequently, there are no requirements with respect to record keeping,
financial responsibility or segregation of customer funds and positions. Furthermore, the enforceability of agreements underlying hedging
transactions may depend on compliance with applicable statutory and commodity and other regulatory requirements and, depending on the
identity of the counterparty, applicable international requirements. The business failure of a hedging counterparty with whom we enter
into a hedging transaction will most likely result in its default. Default by a party with whom we enter into a hedging transaction may
result in the loss of unrealized profits and force us to cover our commitments, if any, at the then current market price.
Although
generally we will seek to reserve the right to terminate our hedging positions, it may not always be possible to dispose of or close
out a hedging position without the consent of the hedging counterparty and we may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in
order to cover our risk. We cannot assure you that a liquid secondary market will exist for hedging instruments purchased or sold, and
we may be required to maintain a position until exercise or expiration, which could result in significant losses.
**Any
bank credit facilities and repurchase agreements that we may use in the future to finance our assets may require us to provide additional
collateral or pay down debt.**
We
may utilize bank credit facilities, repurchase agreements (including term loans and revolving facilities) or guarantee arrangements to
finance our assets if they become available on acceptable terms. Such financing arrangements, including any guarantees, would involve
the risk that the market value of any investments pledged by us to the provider of the bank credit facility or repurchase agreement counterparty
may decline in value, in which case the lender may require us to provide additional collateral or to repay all or a portion of the funds
advanced. We may not have the funds available to repay our debt at that time, which would likely result in defaults unless we are able
to raise the funds from alternative sources, which we may not be able to achieve on favorable terms or at all. Posting additional collateral
would reduce our liquidity and limit our ability to leverage our assets. If we cannot meet these requirements, the lender could accelerate
our indebtedness or enforce our guarantee, increase the interest rate on advanced funds and terminate our ability to borrow funds from
it, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and ability to implement our investment strategy. In addition,
if the lender files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, our loans and guarantees may become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings,
thus depriving us, at least temporarily, of the benefit of these assets. Such an event could restrict our access to bank credit facilities
and increase our cost of capital. The providers of bank credit facilities and repurchase agreement financing may also require us to maintain
a certain amount of cash or set aside assets sufficient to maintain a specified liquidity position that would allow us to satisfy our
collateral obligations. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our assets as fully as we would choose, which could reduce our return
on assets. If we are unable to meet these collateral obligations, our financial condition and prospects could deteriorate rapidly.
**We
may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties.**
When
we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the
debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk
that more than one real property may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability
to make distributions will be adversely affected. Accordingly, our approach to investing in properties utilizing leverage in order to
accomplish our investment objectives may present more risks to investors than comparable real estate programs that do not utilize borrowing
to the same degree.
**If
we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions.**
Some
of our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or balloon payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon
payment is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain replacement financing or our ability to sell particular properties. At
the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original
loan or sell the particular property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. Such a refinancing would be dependent upon interest
rates and lenders policies at the time of refinancing, economic conditions in general and the value of the underlying properties
in particular. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to the holders of our Class A units and the projected
time of disposition of our assets.
| 37 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**Our
access to sources of financing may be limited and thus our ability to grow our business and to maximize our returns may be adversely
affected.**
Subject
to market conditions and availability, we may incur significant debt through bank credit facilities (including term loans and revolving
facilities), repurchase agreements, warehouse facilities and structured financing arrangements, public and private debt issuances and
derivative instruments, in addition to transaction or asset specific funding arrangements. We may also issue additional debt or equity
securities to fund our growth.
Our
access to sources of financing will depend upon a number of factors, over which we have little or no control, including:
| 
| 
| 
general
economic or market conditions; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
markets view of the quality of our assets; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
markets perception of our growth potential; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
our
current and potential future earnings and cash distributions. | |
We
will need to periodically access the capital and credit markets to raise cash to fund new investments. Unfavorable economic or market
conditions may increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital or credit markets or could result in a decision by potential
lenders not to extend credit. An inability to successfully access the capital or credit markets could limit our ability to grow our business
and fully execute our investment strategy and could decrease our earnings, if any. In addition, uncertainty in the capital and credit
markets could adversely affect one or more private lenders and could cause one or more of our private lenders to be unwilling or unable
to provide us with financing or to increase the costs of that financing. In addition, if regulatory capital requirements imposed on our
private lenders change, they may be required to limit, or increase the cost of, financing they provide to us. In general, this could
potentially increase our financing costs and reduce our liquidity or require us to sell assets at an inopportune time or price. No assurance
can be given that we will be able to obtain any such financing on favorable terms or at all.
**Risks
Relating to U.S. Federal Taxation**
**There
will be no assurance that we will continue to meet the requirements for treatment as a partnership. If we fail to maintain our classification
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and no relief provisions apply, we would be subject to entity level U.S. federal
income tax and, as a result, our cash available for distributions and the value of our Class A units could materially decrease.**
We
have been treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes since our tax year ended December 31, 2020. We intend to manage
our affairs so that we continue to meet the requirement for classification as a partnership. The anticipated after-tax economic benefit
of an investment in our Class A units depends in large part on our continued treatment as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
Despite
the fact that we are organized as a limited liability company under Delaware law, if we fail to meet any of the applicable requirements
for classification as a partnership, we would be treated as a corporation pursuant to section 7704 of the Code.
If
we were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, holders of our Class A units would lose the tax benefits associated
with investing in a partnership. We would pay federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate, which is currently
a maximum of 21%, and would likely pay state and local income tax at varying rates. Our distributions would generally be taxed again
as corporate distributions (to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits), and no income, gains, losses, deductions
or credits would flow through to holders of our units. Because a tax would be imposed on us as a corporation, our cash available for
distributions would be substantially reduced. Therefore, our treatment as a corporation would result in a material reduction in cash
flow and after-tax return to holders of our Class A units, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our Class A units.
**There
can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the requirements for classification as a qualified opportunity fund.**
The
opportunity zone program is a community development program established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the JOBS Act
or OZ 1.0), and later expanded, and certain provisions originally set to expire permanently extended, by the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act of 2025 (the OBBBA or OZ 2.0), to encourage new long-term investment in low-income urban and rural
communities nationwide. The opportunity zone program provides tax incentives for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains
into qualified opportunity funds dedicated to investing in qualified opportunity zones.
We initially qualified
as a Qualified Opportunity Fund beginning with our taxable
year ended December 31, 2020, and we currently intend to manage our affairs so that we continue to meet the requirements for classification
as a Qualified Opportunity Fund pursuant to Section 1400Z-2 of the Code and the related regulations issued by the U.S. Department of
the Treasury (the Treasury) and U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) on December 19, 2019, together with
the correcting amendments issued on April 6, 2020, additional relief issued on January 13, 2021 and further correcting amendments issued
on August 5, 2021 (collectively the Opportunity Zone Regulations). On September 30, 2025, the Treasury and IRS also issued
preliminary guidance related to OZ 2.0.
Qualified
opportunity funds and the Opportunity Zone Regulations under OZ 1.0 are relatively new and as yet untested, and transitional and new
regulations for OZ 2.0 have yet to be issued, as such our ability to continue to be treated as a qualified opportunity fund and to
continue to operate in conformity with the requirements to continue to be treated as a qualified opportunity fund is subject to
uncertainty. If we fail to continue to meet the requirements for classification as a qualified opportunity fund, holders of our
Class A units would lose the tax benefits associated with investing in a qualified opportunity fund and the value of our Class A
units would likely be adversely affected.
| 38 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**Investors
must make appropriate timely investments and elections in order to take advantage of the benefits of investing in a qualified opportunity
fund.**
In
order to receive the benefits of investing in a qualified opportunity fund, taxpayers must make deferral elections on Form 8949, *Sales
and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets*, which will need to be attached to their U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable
year in which gain treated as capital gain (short-term or long-term) that results from the sale or exchange of capital assets to an unrelated
person would have been recognized had it not been deferred. In addition, Form 8997, *Initial and Annual Statement of Qualified Opportunity
Fund (QOF) Investments* (Form 8997)*,* requires eligible taxpayers holding a qualified opportunity fund investment
at any point during the tax year to report: (i) qualified opportunity fund investments holdings at the beginning and end of the tax year;
(ii) current tax year capital gains deferred by investing in a qualified opportunity fund; and (iii) qualified opportunity fund investments
disposed of during the tax year. Taxpayers may receive a Letter 6502, *Reporting Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments* (Letter
6502), or a Letter 6503, *Annual Reporting of Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Investments* (Letter 6503),
if they have not properly followed the instructions for Form 8997 and the IRS is missing information, the taxpayer entered invalid information,
or the requirements to maintain a qualifying investment have not been followed. Taxpayers who receive a Letter 6502 or a Letter 6503
may need to file an amended return or an administrative adjustment request with a properly completed Form 8997. The procedures that you
will need to follow to defer your capital gains and the requirements related to maintaining a qualifying investment are highly technical
and complex, accordingly, we recommend that you consult with your own tax advisor.
**The
tax treatment of an investment in our Class A units could be subject to potential legislative, judicial, or administrative changes or
differing interpretations, possibly applied on a retroactive basis.**
The
present U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our Class A units may be modified by administrative, legislative, or judicial
interpretation at any time. From time to time, members of Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal
income tax laws that would affect us, including a prior legislative proposal that would have eliminated the qualifying income
exception upon which we intend to rely for our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance
that there will not be changes to U.S. federal income tax laws or the Department of Treasurys or IRSs interpretation of
the qualifying income and qualified opportunity fund rules in a manner that could impact our ability to continue to qualify as a partnership
or qualified opportunity fund in the future, which could negatively impact the value of an investment in our Class A units. Any changes
to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof may be applied prospectively or retroactively and could make it more difficult
or impossible for us to meet the qualifying income exception or qualified opportunity fund requirements and accordingly adversely affect
the tax consequences associated with an investment in our Class A units.
**If
the IRS contests the U.S. federal income tax positions we take, the value our Class A units may be adversely impacted, and the cost of
any IRS contest will reduce cash available for distributions.**
The
IRS may adopt positions that differ from the positions we have taken or may take on tax matters. It may be necessary to resort to administrative
or court proceedings to sustain some or all of the positions we take. A court may not agree with some or all of the positions we take.
Any contest with the IRS may materially and adversely impact the value of our Class A units. In addition, the costs of any contest with
the IRS will be borne indirectly by the holders of our Class A units because the costs will reduce our cash available for distribution.
If
the IRS makes audit adjustments to our income tax returns, the IRS (and some states) may assess and collect any taxes (including any
applicable penalties and interest) resulting from such audit adjustments directly from us, in which case our cash available for distribution
holders of our Class A units might be substantially reduced, and current and former holders of our Class A units may be required to indemnify
us for any taxes (including applicable penalties and interest) resulting from audit adjustments paid on their behalf.
**Even
if you do not receive any cash distributions from us, you will be required to pay taxes on your share of our taxable income.**
You
will be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes and, in some cases, state and local income taxes, on your share of our taxable income,
whether or not you receive cash distributions from us. For example, if we sell assets and reinvest the proceeds or use proceeds to repay
existing debt, you may be allocated taxable income and gain resulting from the sale and our cash available for distribution would not
increase. You may not receive cash distributions from us equal to your share of our taxable income or even equal to the actual tax due
from you with respect to that income.
| 39 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**You
will likely be subject to state and local taxes and return filing requirements as a result of investing in our Class A units.**
In
addition to federal income taxes, holders of our Class A units likely will be subject to other taxes, such as state and local income
taxes, unincorporated business taxes and estate, inheritance, or intangible taxes that are imposed by the various jurisdictions in which
we do business or own property now or in the future. Holders of our Class A units will likely be required to file state and local income
tax returns and pay state and local income taxes in some or all of these various jurisdictions, even if they do not live in these jurisdictions.
Further, holders of our Class A units may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with those requirements. It is the responsibility
of the holders of our Class A units to file all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns.
**You
will receive a Schedule K-1 to IRS Form 1065, which could increase the complexity of your tax circumstances.**
We
will prepare and deliver a Schedule K-1 to IRS Form 1065 for each holder of our Class A units. Your Schedule K-1 will contain information
regarding your allocable share of our items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and adjustments to the carrying value of our assets
and investments. Schedule K-1s are usually complex, and you may find that preparing your own tax returns requires additional time. You
may also find it necessary or advisable to engage the services of an accountant or other tax adviser, at your own cost and expense, to
assist with the preparation of your tax returns.
In
addition, it is possible that your income tax liability with respect your allocable share of our income for a particular taxable year,
as reflected on your Schedule K-1, could exceed the amount of cash distributions, if any, that we make to you for that taxable year,
thus giving rise to an out-of-pocket tax liability. Accordingly, you should consult with your own accountant or other tax advisers concerning
the tax consequences of your specific tax circumstances prior to acquiring, holding or disposing of any of our Class A units.
**We
do not expect to be able to furnish definitive Schedule K-1s to IRS Form 1065 to each holder of our Class A units prior to the deadline
for filing U.S. income tax returns, which means that holders of our Class A units who are U.S. taxpayers should anticipate the need to
file annually a request for an extension of the due date of their income tax returns. In addition, it is possible that holders of our
Class A units may be required to file amended income tax returns.**
As
a partnership, we will report our operating results, including income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and adjustments to the carrying
value of our assets and investments to IRS annually on Form 1065 provide a Schedule K-1 to each holder of our Class A units. Although
we currently intend to distribute Schedule K-1s on or around 90 days after the end of our fiscal year, it may require a substantial period
of time after the end of our fiscal year to obtain the requisite information from all lower-tier entities to enable us to prepare and
deliver Schedule K-1s. For this reason, holders of Class A units should anticipate that they will need to file annually with the IRS
(and certain states) a request for an extension past the due date of their income tax return.
In
addition, it is possible that a holder of our Class A units will be required to file amended income tax returns or report additional
income on later-year tax returns as a result of adjustments to items on income tax returns of the Company or our Operating Companies.
Any obligation of a holder of our Class A units to file amended income tax returns for the foregoing or any other reason, including any
costs incurred in the preparation or filing of such returns, is the responsibility of each holder of our Class A units.

Management and Strategy**

We
are externally managed
by our Manager, and as such rely on our Manager to manage our day-to-day operations pursuant to our Management Agreement. Services
provided under the Management Agreement are performed by individuals who are employees of members of the Sponsor Group. We, our
Operating Companies, our Manager and the Sponsor Group are also party to a Services and Cost Sharing Agreement. Pursuant the
Services and Cost Sharing Agreement members of the Sponsor Group provide our Manager with access to, among other things, the information technology
(IT) systems necessary for the performance by our Manager of its duties under the Management Agreement. These
IT systems include data hosting facilities and other hardware and software platforms, some of which are hosted by third-party
service providers. The Sponsor Groups IT systems, like those of most other companies, may be vulnerable to cybersecurity
threats, including data breaches, cyberattacks, malware and computer viruses and interruption of services.
The
Sponsor Group takes a risk-based approach to cybersecurity and has implemented cybersecurity and IT risk management policies and
procedures designed to address cybersecurity threats and incidents, including regularly assessing risks from cyber threats,
monitoring IT systems for potential vulnerabilities, and testing IT systems according to its policies and practices. The Sponsor
Group also uses a number of security tools and external service providers to monitor, test or otherwise assist with various aspects
of its cybersecurity controls.
As
of the date of this Form 10-K, cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially
affected us, our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
**Governance**
****
Our
Board is responsible for the oversight of our Manager, who, pursuant to the Management Agreement, is responsible for overseeing our risk
management processes, including cybersecurity risks. Our Board recognizes the critical importance of maintaining effective cybersecurity
measures and our Managers role in assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our Manager provides our
Board with timely updates both on a periodic basis and as new cybersecurity risks arise.

**Item
3. Legal Proceedings.**
****
From
time to time we may be involved in various claims and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
****
We
record loss contingencies for legal matters when it is both probable that liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. Where the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, we record the most likely estimate of loss within that range.
For
the litigation described below, we do not believe liability is probable and therefore have not accrued loss contingencies for the matter.
However, litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties. We will reassess our accruals
on an ongoing basis taking into account the procedural stage and developments in the litigation.
As
of December 31, 2025, we have assessed the litigation described below and concluded that is it neither material nor is any resolution
likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. In addition, as of December 31,
2025, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were subject to any legal proceedings nor were we aware of any legal proceedings threatened
against us or any of our subsidiaries that could be deemed material.
*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). For additional details regarding 497-501 Middle, see [Item 1. BusinessOur Investments497-501 Middle Turnpike and Cedar Swamp Road Storrs, Connecticut.](#al_004)
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 Chens fraud and Galinns negligence, and had Galinn done adequate due diligence, or reviewed the publicly
available filings on the State of Connecticuts Business Records website, or even a basic Google search, Chens lack of authority
would have been readily apparent prior to Galinn having made the Loan.
On
September 15, 2025, CMC filed an amended counterclaim and cross complaint against Chen and Galinn alleging, among other things, fraud,
wrongful conduct, theft, conversion, forgery, slander and violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, and seeking certain
declaratory relief as well as damages, attorneys fees, and costs and expenses related thereto.
We
dispute any liability in the Galinn litigation, believe we have substantial defenses to Galinns claims, and continue to vigorously defend the matter.

we expect to pay them quarterly, in arrears, but may pay them less frequently as determined by us following consultation with our Manager.
While we have the discretion to modify our distribution policy at any time, we currently anticipate working up to a target annual distribution
rate of 6-8%. Any distributions that we do pay will be at the discretion of our Manager, subject to Board oversight, and based on, among
other factors, our present and projected future earnings, cash flow, capital needs and general financial condition, as well as any requirements
of applicable law. In order to participate in any distribution that we do pay, you must be a holder of record of our Class A units as
of the record date for such distribution, and as of the ex-date, if applicable. We have not established a minimum distribution level,
and our Operating Agreement does not require that we pay distributions to the holders of our Class A units.
**Use

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
SEC declared effective our follow-on 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 has and will continue to 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 unit sold in the Follow-on Offering.
The
purchase price for Class A units in our Follow-on Offering is 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 American during regular trading hours on the last trading day immediately
preceding the investment date on which the NYSE American 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 March4, 2026, we announced that our NAV as of December 31, 2025 was $116.17.
****
We
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, 2024,
we issued 2,414,063 Class A units in our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $236.6 million. For the year ended December
31, 2025, we issued 172,523 Class A units in connection with our Public Offerings, raising net offering proceeds of $11.2 million. Together
with the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REIT, Inc.s prior offerings, as of December 31, 2025, we have raised aggregate gross
offering cash proceeds of $368.6 million.

**Overview**
We
are the only publicly traded qualified opportunity fund listed on a national securities exchange. We are a Delaware limited liability
company formed to invest in and manage a portfolio consisting primarily of commercial real estate properties, real estate-related assets,
including commercial real estate loans and mortgages, and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate-related companies, and
private equity acquisitions and investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity
zone businesses. We currently intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes.
We
are focused on identifying, acquiring, developing or redeveloping and managing commercial real estate located within qualified opportunity
zones. At least 90% of our assets consist of qualified opportunity zone property. We qualified as a qualified opportunity fund beginning
with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020. Because we are a qualified opportunity fund certain of our investors are eligible for
favorable capital gains tax treatment on their investments.
All
of our assets are and will continue to be held by, and all of our operations are and will continue to be conducted through, one or more
of our Operating Companies, either directly or indirectly through subsidiaries. We are externally managed by Belpointe PREP Manager,
LLC (our Manager), which is an affiliate of our sponsor, Belpointe, LLC (our Sponsor).
**History
and Development of the Company**
****
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 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

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 has and will continue to enter into participating dealer agreements
and wholesale agreements with other broker-dealers, referred to as selling group members, to authorize those broker-dealers

commissions ranging from 0.25% to 4.50%, of the principal amount of Class A unit sold in the Follow-on Offering.
For the year ended December31, 2025, we issued 172,523 Class A units
in connection with our Follow-on Offering. Together with the gross proceeds raised in our primary offering, which expired in 2024 (our
Primary Offering and, together with the Follow-on Offering, our Public Offerings) and the gross proceeds raised
in Belpointe REITs prior offerings, as of December31, 2025, we have raised aggregate gross offering cash proceeds of $368.6
million.
The
purchase price for Class A units in our Public Offerings is the lesser of (i) 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 during regular trading hours on the last trading day immediately preceding
the investment date on which the NYSE American was open for trading and trading in our Class A units occurred.

Each
quarter, our Manager calculates our NAV and NAV per Class A unit as of the last day of the quarter (the Determination Date).
Our NAV per Class A unit is equal to our NAV as of the Determination Date, divided by the number of Class A units outstanding on the
Determination Date. We disclose our determination of NAV and NAV per Class A unit within approximately 60 days of the Determination Date.
Any adjustments to our NAV and the per Class A unit purchase price take effect as of the first business day following its public announcement.
As of December 31, 2025, our NAV per Class A units was $116.17.
**Our
Business Outlook**
Despite expectations of the U.S. falling into recession, market conditions
for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties in the geographic regions in which we operate have remained strong over the past several
quarters. Future economic conditions and the demand for multifamily and mixed-use rental properties are, and the real estate industry
in general is, subject to uncertainty as a result of a number of factors, including, among others, the rate of rent growth, rate of new
construction, rate of absorption, the rate of unemployment, the impact on regional labor markets as a result of changes in immigration
policies, increasing energy costs, increasing interest rates, higher rates of inflation, changes in the availability and price of insurance
coverage, the availability of credit and changes with respect to borrowing costs, financial market volatility, general economic uncertainty,
and other market conditions beyond our control, including impacts and uncertainties from political unrest, changes to trade policies,
trade disputes and tariffs, recent military actions in Iran and the Middle East, changes in federal income tax laws resulting from the
recent enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, and the forthcoming related administrative guidance and regulations, as well
as other recent and prospective legislation and regulation, including landlord-tenant laws in the markets in which we operate. 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.
**Results
of Operations**
The
results of operations below presents the operating results of our two reportable segments, Commercial and Mixed-use, along with our consolidated
results for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024. We believe that analyzing net operating income (loss) (NOI) at
the segment level (Segment NOI) provides a useful financial performance measure, because it reflects the core rental operations
of our real estate assets. We calculate Segment NOI as rental revenue, less property expenses, excluding non-segment NOI (Non-Segment
NOI). Non-Segment NOI includes corporate level items, such as management fees incurred to our Manager, general and administrative
expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, interest income and other non-operating items.
****
NOI
is not a financial measure included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP),
however it is widely used in the real estate industry as a measure of the operating performance of real estate assets. Notwithstanding
its common usage, NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), or cash flow from operating
activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our computation of NOI may differ from methods used by other companies, and therefore
may not be comparable. A reconciliation of Segment NOI to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure has been included below.

**Segment
NOI**
****
*Commercial
Segment*
**
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, Segment NOI decreased by $1.1 million. This decrease is primarily
due to higher real estate tax expenses.
*Mixed-use
Segment*
**
****
For the year ended
December31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, Segment NOI increased by $0.1 million. The increase in both rental revenues
and property expenses relates to the continued stabilization of Aster & Links, which commenced lease-up June 30, 2024, as well as
VIV, which commenced leasing activities in the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result, Mixed-use Segment NOI is not directly comparable
from year to year. See [Part I, Item 1Our Investments](#SSS_001) for a more detailed discussion of Aster
& Links and the recent substantial completion of VIV.
**Non-Segment
NOI**
****
*Management
Fees*
**
Pursuant
to the terms of a Management Agreement by and among us, our Operating Companies and our Manager (the Management Agreement),
we pay our Manager a quarterly management fee in arrears of one-fourth of 0.75%. The management fee is based on our NAV at the end of
each quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 management fees increased by $0.6 million
due to an increase in our NAV.
*General
and Administrative*
General
and administrative expenses primarily consists of employee cost sharing expenses (pursuant to our Management Agreement and the
Amended and Restated Services and Cost Sharing Agreement (the Services and Cost Sharing Agreement) by and among us,
our Operating Companies, our Manager, our Sponsor and certain of our Sponsors subsidiaries, associates and affiliates (collectively, the Sponsor Group)), marketing expenses,
legal, audit, tax and accounting fees. See [Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
IndependenceOur Management Agreement](#SSS_003) for additional details regarding our Management Agreement, and [Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director IndependenceOur Services and Cost Sharing Agreement](#SSS_004) for
additional details regarding our Services and Cost Sharing Agreement.
| 45 | |
| Table of Contents | |
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million.
This increase is primarily due to the capitalization of certain employee cost sharing and reimbursements to our Manager in the prior year period, which are no longer being capitalized in the current year period, as well as an increase in legal
expenses incurred.
****
*Interest
Expense*
During
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, interest expense totaled $17.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively, consisting of
gross interest expense of $19.7 million and $12.1 million, respectively, and the impact of non-cash amortization of debt discount
and debt issuance costs of $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, partially offset by capitalized interest and fees of $5.0
million and $4.4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to a higher weighted average outstanding
debt balance and lower capitalized interest and fees.
****
*Depreciation
and Amortization*
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, depreciation and amortization increased by $4.5 million. This
increase is primarily due to the placement of fixed assets in service at Aster & Links and VIV which primarily occurred during the
second quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2025, respectively.
****
*Impairment
of Real Estate*
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $0.8 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 fair market value.
****
*Interest
Income*
**
Interest
income for the periods presented were comprised of interest earned from cash balances held in interest bearing bank accounts. The increase
in the current year periods as compared to the prior year periods were attributable to higher cash balances in interest bearing accounts.
*Other
expense*
**
Other
expense for the periods presented were primarily comprised of losses in connection with our interest rate caps. Please see [Note 9 Derivative Instruments](#SSS_005) in our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K for additional details regarding our interest rate caps.
*Loss
on extinguishment of debt*
**
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the Aster & Links Refinance Transactions, we recorded a loss on
extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million, which includes a non-cash write off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.6 million.
See [Part I, Item 1Our Investments1991 Main Street Sarasota, Florida (Aster

7 Debt, Net](#SSS_006) in our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed discussion of the Aster & Links
Refinance Transactions.
**Liquidity
and Capital Resources**
**Overview**
****
Our
primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments, including construction and development costs, pay our
Follow-on Offering and operating fees and expenses, pay any distributions that we may make to the holders of our units and pay interest
on our outstanding indebtedness.
Our
Follow-on 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 and mixed-use properties. We are externally managed and do not have office or personnel expenses as we do not have any
employees.
**Liquidity**
****
Our
future needs for liquidity will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, our ability to generate cash flows from
operations, the timing and availability of net proceeds from our Follow-on Offering and any future offerings that we may conduct, the
timing and extent of our real estate acquisition and disposition activities, and the timing and extent of our construction and development
costs.
| 46 | |
| Table of Contents | |
****
Economic uncertainty, fluctuating interest rates, unemployment rates, energy
prices, trade disputes, tariffs, recent military actions in Iran and the Middle East, immigration, taxes, inflation, volatility in the
real estate markets, slowdowns in transaction volume, delays in financings from banks and other lenders and other negative trends may,
in the future, adversely impact our ability to timely access potential sources of liquidity. If we are unable to raise additional capital
when desired, or on terms that are acceptable to us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We
believe that our cash on-hand, the anticipated net proceeds from our Follow-on Offering, and any future offerings that we may conduct,
the proceeds from our current debt obligations, the projected cash flows from our real estate assets and our current and anticipated
financing activities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource requirements for the next 12 months from the date
of issuance of this Form 10-K.
**Capital
Resources**
****
Where our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, have funded,
and in the future if they continue to fund, our capital requirements by advancing us offering and operating fees and expenses, we reimburse
our Manager and its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor, Group pursuant to the terms of our Management
Agreement and Services and Cost Sharing Agreement. Fees payable and expenses reimbursable to our Manager and its affiliates, including
members of the Sponsor Group, 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 years ended December31, 2025 and 2024. During the years
ended December31, 2025 and 2024, our Manager and its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor Group,
incurred operating expenses of $2.1million and $2.6million,
respectively, on our behalf. Our Manager and its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor Group, have
deferred the collection of management fees and the reimbursement of operating fees and expenses, without interest, and may continue
to do so in the future, to support our operations and ensure that we maintain sufficient liquidity under the terms of our guaranty agreements.
All or any part of deferred fees and expenses may be taken in any period as determined by the Manager.
**Aster
& Links**
****
In
September 2025, we completed approximately $204.1 million in post-construction Aster & Links Refinance Transactions, the
proceeds of which were used to retire existing construction debt and will provide additional liquidity to support lease-up and
stabilization. In connection with the Aster & Links Refinance Transactions we also entered into a series of guaranty agreements
whereby we have guaranteed payment and performance of certain of the Aster & Links Borrowers obligations under the Aster
& Links Loan Agreements. The guaranty agreements require, among other things, that we maintain certain net worth and liquid
asset standards during the term of the Aster & Links Loans. As of December31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the
net worth and liquid asset standards. See [Part I, Item 1Our Investments1991 Main Street
Sarasota, Florida (Aster & Links)Aster & Links Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans](#alm_001) above,
and [Note 7 Debt, Net](#SSS_006) in our consolidated financial statements for a more detailed
discussion of the Aster & Links Refinance Transactions.
****
As
of December 31, 2025, we had an unfunded capital commitment totaling $3.7 million under the 1991 Main CMA as well as other construction
related commitments for the development of Aster & Links. See [Part I, Item 1Our Investments1991 Main Street Sarasota Florida (Aster & Links)Aster & Links Construction Management Agreement](#alm_002) above for
additional details regarding the 1991 Main CMA.
As
of the date of this Form 10-K, we currently anticipate that the remaining funding for construction and soft costs associated with the
development of Aster & Links will be a minimum of $12.4 million (inclusive of the aforementioned unfunded capital commitment). For
additional details regarding Aster & Links, see [Part I, Item 1Our Investments1991 Main Street Sarasota Florida (Aster & Links)](#al_001).
**VIV**
****
As
of December 31, 2025, we have drawn down $81.3 million on the 1000 First Construction Loan and had an unfunded capital commitment of
$10.6 million under the 1000 First CMA. See [Part I, Item 1Our Investments1000 First Avenue North and 900 First Avenue North ****St. Petersburg, Florida (VIV)](#al_002) above for a more detailed discussion of the 1000 First Construction
Loan and 1000 First CMA.
As
of the date of this Form 10-K, we currently anticipate the remaining funding for construction and soft costs associated with the development
of VIV will be a minimum of approximately $13.3 million (inclusive of the aforementioned unfunded capital commitment). For additional
details regarding VIV, see [Part I, Item 1Our Investments1000 First Avenue North and 900 First Avenue North ****St. Petersburg, Florida (VIV)](#al_002)

**900
8th Avenue South**
As
of December 31, 2025, we have drawn down $10.0 million on the 900 8th Land Loan, which is due to mature in July 2026. For additional
details regarding 900 8th Avenue South and 900 8th Land Loan, see [Part I, Item 1Our Investments900 8th Avenue South Nashville, Tennessee.](#al_003)
**Short
and Long-Term Capital Resources**
****
We
expect to continue to obtain the capital resources that we need over the short and long-term from cash on-hand, from the proceeds of
our Follow-on Offering and any future offerings that we may conduct, from the advancement of reimbursable fees and expenses by our
Manager and its affiliates, including member of the Sponsor Group, from the proceeds of our current debt obligations and future secured
or unsecured financing from banks and other lenders, from projected operating funds from our real estate assets and from any other
undistributed cash flow generated from operations. For additional details regarding our Public Offerings, see [Part
II, Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity
SecuritiesUse of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities.](#SSS_007)
**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 and mixed-use 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.

****
**Critical
Accounting Estimates**
Our
audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an
ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
Our
significant accounting policies are described in [Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.](#SSS_008)
Many of these accounting policies require judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions when applying these policies in the preparation
of our consolidated financial statements. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments based on historical experience
as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subject to change in the future
if underlying assumptions or factors change. Certain accounting policies, while significant, may not require the use of estimates. The
recent accounting changes that may potentially impact our business are described under Recent Accounting Pronouncements
in [Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.](#SSS_008)
**Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements**
We
currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
****
**Emerging
Growth and Smaller Reporting 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 (i) the last day of the
fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the effective date of our Primary Offering (which will fall on September 26, 2026),
(b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated
filer (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), (ii) the
date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period, or (iii) the date
that we 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.
We
are also a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K).
Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may remain a smaller reporting company and may continue to take advantage
of the scaled disclosure obligations available to smaller reporting companies. We will be a smaller reporting company until the last
day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Class A units held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million, measured as of
the last business day of the immediately preceding second fiscal quarter, and (ii) our annual revenue exceed $100 million as of the most
recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A units held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million.
**Item
7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.**
We
are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, as a result are not required to provide the information
required by this Item.

**REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**
To
the Board of Directors and
Members
of Belpointe PREP, LLC
**Opinion
on the Financial Statements**
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Belpointe PREP, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members capital, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
**Basis
for Opinion**
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the entitys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the entitys
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (the PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our

fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**Note
1 Organization, Business Purpose and Capitalization**
**Organization
and Business Purpose**
**
Belpointe
PREP, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, the Company, we, us, or our) 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 are treated 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, dispositions, and other 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 Offering, 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 has and will continue to 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.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, we have sold aggregate gross proceeds of $11.3 million,
of Class A units in connection with our Follow-on Offering. Together with the gross proceeds raised in our primary offering, which
expired in 2024 (our Primary Offering and, together with our Follow-on Offering, our Public Offerings)
and the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe REIT, Inc.s prior offerings, as of December 31, 2025, we have raised aggregate
gross offering proceeds of $368.6 million.
The
purchase price for Class A units in our Follow-on Offering is 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 4, 2026, we announced that
our NAV as of December 31, 2025 was equal to $116.17 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) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations
of the SEC.
| 57 | |
| Table of Contents | |
**Basis
of Consolidation**
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portion
of memberscapital (deficit) in controlled subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented
in noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
We
have evaluated our economic 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 the consolidated VIEs,which are considered VIEs as they do not have sufficient
equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support, included in the consolidated balance sheets
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively (amounts in thousands):

An

reassess whether there are any events that require us to reconsider our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether it should
be consolidated.

**Emerging
Growth Company Status**
****
We
are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act).
Under Section 107 of the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are permitted to use an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for complying with new or revised accounting standards
that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards which is the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of our Primary Offering (which will be September 30, 2026), (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235
billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible
debt during the preceding three-year period, or (iii) the date that we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition
period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards,
our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the consolidated financial statements of companies that comply with public
company effective dates.
**Use
of Estimates**
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
**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 have two operating and reportable segments, commercial and mixed-use,
which are further described in [Note 12 - Segment Reporting](#SSS_009).
**Allocation
of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets and Liabilities**
Upon
the acquisition of real estate properties we determine whether a transaction is a business combination, which requires that the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction as
an asset acquisition. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with our asset acquisitions, and expense acquisition-related
costs and fees associated with business combinations.
It is our policy to allocate the purchase price of properties
to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities,
consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the value of in-place leases, certain development rights
and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their relative fair values. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired
property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, which value is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements
based on managements determination of the fair values of these assets. We measure the aggregate value of intangible assets and
liabilities acquired based on the difference between the property valued (i) with existing in-place leases, adjusted to market rental
rates, and (ii) as if vacant. Other factors considered include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods
considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
We
consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities
in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes,
insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. We estimate
costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have
not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. In connection with the purchase of real
property for development use, development rights are often transferred from one party to another to provide additional density. This
transfer of rights allows an entity to permit, construct and develop additional dwelling units. Accordingly, we allocate a portion of
the purchase price to these development right intangible assets based on the value attributed to the land of which we do not hold title
to but are provided density transfer rights over. These rights are amortized to amortization expense over the useful life based on the
respective contract. If the rights are transferred in perpetuity and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic
or other factors that limit its useful life, we consider the intangible asset indefinite-lived and therefore do not amortize.
| 59 | |
| Table of Contents | |
The
total amount of other intangible assets acquired are further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible
values based on managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease and our overall relationship
with that respective tenant. We consider the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects
for developing new business with the tenant, the tenants credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing
under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors. We amortize the value of in-place leases to depreciation and amortization
expense over the remaining term of the respective leases (as well as any applicable below market renewal options). The value of customer
relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the initial term in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization
periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized
portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense in that period.
The
values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are determined based on our experience and the relevant facts and circumstances
that existed at the time of the acquisitions and are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks
associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated
and in place at the time of acquisition of the properties, and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the properties or equivalent
properties. Such valuations include consideration of the non-cancellable terms of the respective leases (as well as any applicable below
market renewal options). The values of above and below-market leases associated with the original non-cancelable lease term are amortized
to rental revenue over the terms of the respective non-cancelable lease periods. The portion of the values of the leases associated with
below-market renewal options, that are likely to be exercised, are amortized to rental revenue over the respective renewal periods.
When
we acquire leveraged properties, the fair value of the related debt instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model with
rates that take into account the credit of the tenants, where applicable, and interest rate risk. Such resulting premium or discount
is amortized over the remaining term of the obligation and is included in Interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
We also consider the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the
tenant, the time until maturity and the current interest rate.
**
The
determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current
market rental rates, discount rates and other variables.

estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures which improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized,
while expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend lives of the assets, are charged to expense.
Deprecation
is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (not to exceed 40 years).
Project
costs directly related to the construction and development of real estate projects (including but not limited to interest and related
loan fees, property taxes, insurance and legal costs) are capitalized as a cost of the project. Indirect project costs that relate to
projects are capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Pertaining to assets under development, capitalization begins
when both direct and indirect project costs have been made and it is determined that development of the future asset is probable. If we
suspend substantially all activities related to the project, we will cease cost capitalization of indirect costs until activities are
resumed. We will not suspend cost capitalization for brief interruptions, interruptions that are externally imposed, or delays that are
inherent in the development process unless there are other circumstances involved that warrant a judgmental decision to cease capitalization.
In addition, capitalization of project costs will cease when the project is considered substantially completed and occupied, or ready
for its intended use (but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity). Upon substantial completion, depreciation
of these assets will commence. If discrete portions of a project are substantially completed and occupied and other portions have not
yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for separately. We allocate costs incurred between the portions
under construction and the portions substantially completed and only capitalize those costs associated with the portions under construction.
**Impairment
of Long-Lived 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 propertys 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.

**Abandoned
Pursuit Costs**
****
Pre-development
and due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of new development and acquisition opportunities, which we deem to be probable, will be capitalized
in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. If the development or acquisition opportunity is not probable or the status of the
project changes such that it is deemed no longer probable, the costs incurred will be expensed.
**Initial
Direct Costs**
Initial
direct costs are incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. Such costs include lease
incentives and leasing commissions. Costs incurred to obtain tenant leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the term
of the related lease agreement. If the lease is terminated early, the remaining unamortized deferred leasing cost is written off. Initial
direct costs are capitalized in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
**Deferred
Financing Costs**
We capitalize fees as well as other expenditures incurred that are necessary to obtain
debt financing. Fees paid to lenders upon the issuance of debt are reflected as a debt discount. Such fees and costs are generally presented
as direct deduction from the related debt liability and are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest
method, over the term of the loan. In circumstances when debt is retired prior to maturity, any unamortized financing costs are included
in the calculation of gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
**Derivative
Instruments**
****
Our
derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are recorded as either assets or liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets
depending on the pertinent rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. The derivative contracts that we may enter
into are generally concurrent with obtaining floating rate debt and are intended to manage the economic risk and cash flows related to increases in benchmark
interest rates. Our derivative instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore we account for changes
in the fair value of the derivative instruments as either a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
**Cash
and Cash Equivalents**
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash held in major financial institutions, cash on hand and liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less. Cash balances may at times exceed federally insurable limits per institution, however, we deposit our cash and
cash equivalents with high-credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.
**Restricted
Cash**
Restricted
cash consists of amounts required to be reserved pursuant to contractual obligations and lender agreements for debt service. The following
table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within our consolidated balance sheets to our
consolidated statements of cash flows (amounts in thousands):

**Subscriptions
Receivable**
****
Subscriptions
receivable consists of units that have been issued with subscriptions that have not yet settled. Subscriptions receivable are carried
at cost which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no subscriptions that had not yet settled.
**Non-controlling
Interest**
****
A
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported
as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent companys equity. In addition, consolidated net
income (loss) is required to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest
and the amount of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interests are required to be disclosed
on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.
**Organization,
Public Offerings and Other Operating Costs**
Organization
costs are expensed as incurred. Offering expenses include, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and
expenses, fees and expenses of our transfer agent. Offering costs, when incurred, will be charged to members
equity against the gross proceeds of an offering. Our Public Offering costs for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, were less
than $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. We became liable to reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our
Sponsor, when the first closing was held in connection with our Primary Offering, which occurred in October 2021.
Pursuant
to a Management Agreement by and among the Company, our Operating Companies and our Manager (the Management Agreement),
we reimburse our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the
selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, whether or not we ultimately acquire or originate the investment. We also reimburse
our Manager, Sponsor, and their respective affiliates, for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing
services to us.
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Services and Cost Sharing Agreement
(the Services and Cost Sharing Agreement) by and among the Company, our Operating Companies, our Manager, our Sponsor, and
certain of our Sponsors subsidiaries, associates and affiliates (collectively, the Sponsor Group), we reimburse the
Sponsor Group and our Manager for expenses incurred for our allocable share of the salaries, benefits and overhead of personnel providing
services to us. The expenses are payable, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class A units at the then-current
NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing.
**Risks
and Uncertainties**
****
Demand for commercial and mixed-use rental properties is subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, interest rate risk, the availability of credit, higher rates of inflation, the rate
of unemployment, ongoing supply chain disruptions, the impact of general global economic conditions, trade disputes, tariffs, recent military
actions in Iran and the Middle East, and changes in federal income tax and other laws. The potential effect of these and other factors
presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance and financial results, including the potential to negatively
impact the timing of completion and stabilization of our assets, our costs of operations, our financing arrangements, the value of our
investments, and the laws, regulations, and government and regulatory policies applicable to us. We are closely monitoring the potential
impact of these and other factors on all aspects of our investments and operations.
****
**Other
Assets and Liabilities**
Other
assets in our consolidated balance sheets include our transaction costs pertaining to our deal pursuits, restricted cash, interest on
loan receivables, property deposits, capitalized leasing commissions, corporate fixed assets, utility deposits, prepaid expenses, and
accounts receivable. We include accrued expenses, straight-line lease liabilities, accrued interest, prepaid rent, leasing commission
payables and security deposits payable in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
**Income
Taxes**
We
have been treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes since our tax year ended December 31, 2020, and intend to
continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, an
entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a taxable entity and incurs no U.S. federal
income tax liability. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been made in our consolidated financial statements
because each of our members recognize their proportionate share of our income or loss on their tax returns. If we fail to qualify as
a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year, and if we are not entitled to relief under the Code for an
inadvertent termination of our partnership status, we will be subject to federal and state income tax on our taxable income at
regular corporate income tax rates.

**Loss
Per Unit**
Loss
per unit represents both basic and dilutive per-unit amounts for the period presented in our consolidated financial statements. Basic
and diluted loss per unit is calculated by dividing Net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of Class A units
outstanding during the year.
**Recent
Accounting Pronouncements**

**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. Our leases for residential units typically have terms between
12 and 24 months. Our leases with commercial tenants have a weighted average lease term of 11.7 years as of December 31, 2025. Certain
of our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the lease term when we are reasonably certain
they will be exercised. 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 have elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, to combine both
lease and non-lease components as the timing and pattern
of transfer are the same.
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, or (iii) percentage
rents. 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, including unbilled rent receivable balances, by reviewing a tenants
payment history and 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 December 31, 2025.

**Other
Operating Expenses**
Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, we reimburse
our Manager, Sponsor and their respective affiliates for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the selection, acquisition
or origination of investments, whether or not we ultimately acquire or originate an investment. We also reimburse our Manager, Sponsor
and their respective affiliates for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to us.
****
Pursuant
to the terms of the Services and Cost Sharing Agreement, we reimburse the Sponsor Group and our Manager for expenses incurred for
our allocable share of the salaries, benefits and overhead of personnel providing services to us. During the years ended December
31, 2025, and 2024, our Manager and its affiliates, including the Sponsor Group, incurred operating expenses of $2.1
million and $2.6
million, respectively, on our behalf. The expenses are payable, at the election of the recipient, in cash, by issuance of our Class
A units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing. As of December 31, 2025, 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 at the end of each quarter.
****
**Property
Management Oversight Fee**
****
We,
through the individual subsidiaries of our Operating Companies, pay our Manager, or an affiliate of our Manager, an annual
property management oversight fee equal to 1.5% of revenues generated by the applicable property.
**Development
Fees and Reimbursements**
****
Affiliates
of our Sponsor are entitled to receive (i) development fees on each project in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services
rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project, and (ii) reimbursements for their expenses, such as employee compensation
and other overhead expenses incurred in connection with the project.
During
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we incurred development fees earned during the construction phase of $2.1 million, and $4.2
million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, remained due and payable to our
affiliates for development fees.
****
During
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we incurred employee reimbursement expenditures to our affiliates acting as development
managers of $2.1 million, and $1.7 million, respectively, of which $0.6 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, is included in Real
estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheets, and $1.6 million, $0.6 million, respectively, is included in General and
administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $0.6 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, remained due and payable to our affiliates for employee reimbursement expenditures.
****
**Acquisition
Fees**
****
We
will pay our Manager, Sponsor, or an affiliate of our Manager or Sponsor, an acquisition fee equal to 1.5% of the total value of any
acquisition transaction, including any acquisition through merger with another entity (but excluding any transactions in which our Sponsor,
or an affiliate of our Manager or Sponsor, would otherwise receive a development fee). We did not incur any acquisition fees during the
years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
****
**Insurance**
****
Certain
immediate family members of our Chief Executive Officer have a passive indirect minority beneficial ownership interest in Belpointe Specialty
Insurance, LLC (Belpointe Specialty Insurance). Belpointe Specialty Insurance has acted, and may continue to act, as our
broker in connection with the placement of insurance coverage for certain of our properties and operations. Belpointe Specialty Insurance
earns brokerage commissions related to the brokerage services that it provides to us, which commissions vary, are based on a percentage
of the premiums that we pay and are set by the insurer. We have also engaged Belpointe Specialty Insurance to provide us with contract
insurance consulting services related to owner-controlled insurance programs, for which we pay an administration fee. Management believes
that the commissions that Belpointe Specialty Insurance earns are comparable to those commissions that we would pay to unaffiliated third
parties in arms-length transactions.
| 66 | |
| Table of Contents | |
During
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we obtained insurance coverage and paid premiums in the aggregate amount of $1.8 million,
and $2.9 million, respectively, from which Belpointe Specialty Insurance earned commissions and administrative fees of $0.2 million,
and $0.2 million, respectively. Insurance premiums are prepaid and are included in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
****
**Economic
Dependency**
****
Under various agreements we have engaged our Manager and its affiliates,
including in certain cases members of the Sponsor Group, to provide certain services that are essential to us, including asset management
services, asset acquisition and disposition services, supervision of our Follow-on Offerings and any other offerings that we may conduct,
as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company, including, without limitation, accounting services and investor relations
services. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon our Manager and its affiliates, including the Sponsor Group. In the
event that our Manager and its affiliates are unable to provide us with the services we have engaged them to provide, we would be required
to find alternative service providers.

900 8th Land Loan is secured by our investment at 900 8th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee. The 900 8th Land Loan contained two six-month
extension options, both of which have been exercised as of December 31, 2025. | |
|

| 
(3) | The
1000 First Construction Loan contains two one-year extension options, exercisable at our election, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the loan agreement.
Advances under the 1000 First Construction Loan bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 3.80%,
subject to a minimum all-in per annum rate of 7.55%.
To mitigate our exposure to increases to the one-month SOFR, we have obtained an interest rate cap (see Note 9 Derivative Instruments). The 1000 First Construction Loan is prepayable in whole or in part at any time with not less than 45 days
notice. Full prepayment is subject to an interest make-whole amount, if any, calculated as of the prepayment date. | |

(4) | The
Aster & Links Loans bear interest at a fluctuating rate based on: (i) one-month term
SOFR, subject to a 3.25% floor, plus (ii) a blended rate of 2.55%, and requires interest-only
monthly payments during their term. The Aster & Links Loans each contain two one-year
extensions exercisable at our election, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth
in each of the loan agreements. The Aster & Links Loans are secured by a first-priority
mortgage on Aster & Links and a pledge of the borrowers equity interest in an indirect
subsidiary of the Company. To mitigate our exposure to increases to the one-month term SOFR,
we have obtained interest rate caps (see Note 9 Derivative Instruments). The Aster
& Links Loans are prepayable in whole or in part at any time with not less than 30 days
notice, however, if prepaid in full prior to October 2026, such prepayment is subject to
an interest make-whole amount, if any, calculated as of the prepayment date. | |

**Guarantees
and Covenants**
Each
of our indebtedness agreements are secured by either the individual underlying real estate investments or by a pledge of ownership interests
in the entity that indirectly owns the real estate investment. In connection with certain agreements, we have provided guarantees of
payment and performance, 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 in connection with the Aster & Links Loans and 1000 First Construction
Loan which include, but are not limited to, maintaining liquid assets of no less than $10.0 million and a net worth of no less than $110.0
million. As of December 31, 2025 and 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 managements
own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management
judgment or estimation.
****
**Recurring
Fair Value Measurements**
****
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is comprised of our
interest rate caps (see [Note 9 Derivative Instruments](#SSS_005)). The valuation of our interest rate caps were determined
by management based on a valuation 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.

following table sets forth the carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt arrangements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (amounts

We estimated that our other financial
assets and liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of December31, 2025 and

**Note
9 Derivative Instruments**
In
connection with our 1000 First Construction Loan, Aster & Links Mortgage Loan and Aster & Links Mezzanine Loan (collectively,
the Variable Rate Loans) (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 Variable Rate 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.

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 Chens fraud and Galinns negligence, and had Galinn done adequate due diligence, or reviewed the publicly
available filings on the State of Connecticuts Business Records website, or even a basic Google search, Chens lack of authority
would have been readily apparent prior to Galinn having made the Loan.
On
September 15, 2025, CMC filed an amended counterclaim and cross complaint against Chen and Galinn alleging, among other things, fraud,
wrongful conduct, theft, conversion, forgery, slander and violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, and seeking certain
declaratory relief as well as damages, attorneys fees, and costs and expenses related thereto.
We dispute any liability in this litigation, believe we have substantial
defenses to Galinns claims, and continue to vigorously defend the matter.
**Development
Projects**
****
In
connection with the development of our commercial real estate assets, 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 December 31, 2025, we have
two development projects with an aggregate unfunded commitment of $14.3 million. As of December 31, 2025, $12.4 million, inclusive of
retainage of $12.2 million, is 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, which consists of:
| 
| 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 have both residential and retail spaces
within a single real estate asset (the Mixed-use Segment). | |
**
Our
CODM reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for purposes of allocating resources, making decisions and
assessing financial performance.
We
believe that analyzing net operating income (loss) by segment (Segment NOI) provides a useful measure of our performance
of our business, as it reflects the core rental operations of our operating real estate. Segment NOI is calculated as total revenues,
less property expenses, excluding corporate level items, such as management fees incurred to our Manager (see [Note 4 Related Party Arrangements](#SSS_010)), depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and other non-operating items.
The
following table details the results of Segment NOI, reconciled to Loss before income taxes as reported on our consolidated statement
of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 (amounts in thousands):

Evaluation**
**
Management
has evaluated subsequent events to determine if events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the date the audited
consolidated financial statements were issued require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the audited 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.
*Tokeneke
Transactions*
On
March 3, 2026, the Company, through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary BPOZ 100 Tokeneke Holding, LLC (BPOZ Tokeneke),
made a loan (the BPOZ Tokeneke Loan) in the principal amount of $5.0 million, evidenced by a convertible promissory note
(the BPOZ Tokeneke Note), to 100 Tokeneke Road, LLC (Tokeneke Road). The BPOZ Tokeneke Loan bears interest
at a rate of 3.6% per annum, computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, and, unless earlier converted, is due and payable on March3,
2028. The BPOZ Tokeneke Note is convertible, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of BPOZ Tokeneke into that number of Class A
units of 100 Tokeneke Partners, LLC (Tokeneke Partners) and direct holding company for Tokeneke Road, that equal the total
amount then being converted, divided by $14.50 per Class A unit (the Conversion Price), subject to adjustment as provided
in the BPOZ Tokeneke Note. The proceeds of the BPOZ Tokeneke Loan were immediately applied by Tokeneke Road in connection with consummation
of its purchase of certain real property located at 100 Tokeneke Road, Darien, Connecticut (the Property).
Concurrently
with our extension of the BPOZ Tokeneke Loan, Belpointe Tokeneke Investment, LLC, which is indirectly owned by an entity in which certain
immediate family members of the Companys Chief Executive Officer hold a passive beneficial ownership interest (the Related
Party), also made a loan (the Related Party Loan) in the principal amount of $3.3 million, evidenced by a convertible
promissory note (the Related Party Note), to Tokeneke Road. The Related Party Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.6% per
annum, computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, and is due and payable on March3, 2028. The Related Party Note contains a mandatory
post-closing conversion clause which required $0.6 million of the principal balance of the Related Party Loan be converted into Class
A units in Tokeneke Partners (the Mandatory Conversion). Following the Mandatory Conversion the Related Party became the
50% beneficial owner of Tokeneke Partners. The remaining balance of the Related Party Note is convertible, in whole or in part, in the
sole discretion of the Related Party into that number of Class A units of Tokeneke Partners that equal the total amount then being converted
divided by the Conversion Price, subject to adjustment as provided in the Related Party Note. The proceeds of the Related Party Loan
were immediately applied by Tokeneke Road in connection with consummation of its purchase of the Property.

**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 SECs
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and 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-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
at the reasonable assurance level.
**Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
****
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial
officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial
transactions.
Our
management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based
on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2025 was effective.
**Changes

**Member

****
Our
nominating and corporate governance committee will consider recommendations of candidates for election as directors that are submitted

**Item
11. Executive Compensation.**
****
We are externally managed and currently have no employees or intention
of having any employees. Our executive officers also serve as officers of our Manager and members of the Sponsor Group. Our Management
Agreement provides that our Manager will be responsible for managing our day-to-day operations and investment activities, as such our
executive officers do not receive compensation from us or any of our subsidiaries for serving as our executive officers but, rather, receive
compensation from our Manager. We will not reimburse our Manager for any compensation paid to our executive officers. Our Management Agreement
does not require our executive officers to dedicate a specific amount of time to the conduct of our business and affairs or prohibit our
executive officers from engaging in other activities or providing services to other persons, including affiliates of our Manager and Sponsor.
Accordingly, our Manager has informed us that it cannot identify the portion of compensation it will award to our executive officers that
relates solely to such executives services to us, as our Manager does not compensate its employees specifically for such services.
Furthermore, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers, we do not provide pension or retirement benefits, perquisites
or other personal benefits to our executive officers, our executive officers have not received any nonqualified deferred compensation
and we do not have arrangements to make payments to our executive officers upon their termination or in the event of a change in control
of us.
**Non-Employee
Director Compensation**
We commenced principal operations on October 28, 2020. For the year ended
December31, 2025, the chairman of our audit committee received $23,750, and each of our three remaining non-employee directors received
$20,000, respectively, in cash compensation for their service as directors. Going forward, we intend to establish a policy to compensate
each of our non-employee directors on an annual basis paid in quarterly installments in arrears, which compensation may, in the sole discretion
of our Board, be paid to members in the form of cash or equity, or a combination of both cash and equity. We also intend to adopt a unit
ownership policy for our non-employee directors in order to better align our non-employee directors financial interests with those
of our unitholders by requiring non-employee directors to own a minimum level of our Class A units.
We
do not pay our directors additional fees for attending board meetings, but we reimburse each of our directors for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings (including, but not limited to, airfare, hotel and food).
For the year ended December 31, 2025, all of our Board and committee meetings have been held virtually and our directors did not incur
any expenses in connection with attending board or committee meetings.

On

by a convertible promissory note (the BPOZ Tokeneke Note), to 100 Tokeneke Road, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company
(Tokeneke Road). The BPOZ Tokeneke Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.6% per annum, computed on the basis of a 365/366-day
year, and, unless earlier converted, is due and payable on March3, 2028. The BPOZ Tokeneke Note is convertible, in whole or in
part, in the sole discretion of BPOZ Tokeneke into that number of Class A units of 100 Tokeneke Partners, LLC, a Connecticut limited
liability company (Tokeneke Partners) and direct holding company for Tokeneke Road, that equal the total amount then being

Note. The proceeds of the BPOZ Tokeneke Loan were immediately applied by Tokeneke Road in connection with consummation of its purchase
of certain real property located at 100 Tokeneke Road, Darien, Connecticut (the Property).
Concurrently
with our advancement of the BPOZ Tokeneke Loan, Belpointe Tokeneke Investment, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company indirectly

Mandatory Conversion the Related Party became the 50% beneficial owner of Tokeneke Partners. The remaining balance of the Related Party
Note is convertible, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of the Related Party into that number of Class A units of Tokeneke Partners
that equal the total amount then being converted divided by the Conversion Price, subject to adjustment as provided in the Related Party

Pursuant

all decisions regarding the origination, selection, evaluation, structuring, acquisition, financing and development of our commercial
real estate properties, real estate-related assets, including commercial real estate loans and mortgages, 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, subject to the limitations in our operating agreement.
Our Manager also provides portfolio management, marketing, investor relations, financial, accounting and other administrative services
on our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our invested capital.
| 82 | |
| Table of Contents | |
Pursuant
to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager is responsible for, among other things:
| 
| serving
as our investment and financial manager with respect to originating, underwriting, acquiring,
and managing our investment portfolio; | |
****
| 
| structuring
the terms and conditions of our acquisitions, sales and joint ventures; and | |
| 
| retaining,
for and on our behalf, services related to, among other things, our Public Offerings, and
any other offerings that we may conduct, the development, operation and management of our
investments, calculation of our NAV, administrative, accounting, tax, legal and investor
relations services, financing services, and services related to property management, leasing,
development and construction. | |
The initial term of the Management Agreement continued through December
31, 2025 and, following an evaluation of the Managers performance by the Board, was thereafter renewed for a subsequent three-year
term. The Management Agreement may only be terminated (i) for cause, (ii) upon the bankruptcy of our Manager, or (iii) upon
a material breach of the Management Agreement by our Manager. Cause is defined in the Management Agreement to mean fraud
or willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable law, in each case that has
or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on us. Following the current term, the Management Agreement will automatically
renew for an unlimited number of three-year terms unless we elect not to renew it by providing our Manager with 180 days prior
notice.
Upon
any termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement by us or any termination of the Management Agreement by our Manager for our
breach of the Management Agreement, our Manager will be entitled to receive its prorated management fee through the expiration or termination
date and will be paid a termination fee equal to six times the annual management fee earned by our Manager during the 12-month period

termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement, our Manager will cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested by
us to assist our Board in making an orderly transition of the management function.
**Management
Fee, Class B Units and Expense Reimbursement**
****
As
compensation for its services under the Management Agreement, we pay our Manager a quarterly management fee at an annualized rate of
0.75%. The management fee is based on our NAV at the end of each fiscal quarter. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024,
we incurred management fees due to our Manager of $3.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
****
As
additional compensation for its services under the Management Agreement, we issued our Manager 100,000 Class B units, representing all
of our issued and outstanding Class B units. The Class B units entitle our Manager to 5% of any gain recognized by or distributed to
us or recognized by or distributed from our Operating Companies or any subsidiary. As a result, any time we recognize an operating gain
(excluding depreciation) or receive a distribution, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds, refinancing transactions or
otherwise, our Manager is entitled to receive 5% of the aggregate amount of such gain or distribution, regardless of whether the holders
of our Class A units have received a return of their capital. The allocation and distribution rights that our Manager is entitled to
with respect to its Class B units 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. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not make any Class B unit
allocations or distributions to our Manager.
****
Pursuant
to the Management Agreement, we reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor Group, for actual fees and
expenses incurred in connection with our Public Offerings, the selection, origination, acquisition, management and disposition of our
investments, and for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to us. Expenses reimbursable
are payable at the election of the recipient in cash, by issuance of our Class A units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination
of the foregoing. For additional details regarding the Offer and the Merger see, Item 7. [Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations History and Development of the Company](#SSS_012)
During the years ended December31, 2025, and 2024, our Manager and
its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor Group, incurred $2.1 million, and $2.6

**Development
Fees**
****
Pursuant
to the terms of development agreements that we enter into with affiliates of our Sponsor, such affiliates are entitled to receive (i)
development fees on each project in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the
geographic market of the project, and (ii) reimbursements for their expenses, such as employee compensation and other overhead expenses
incurred in connection with the project.
In
connection with our acquisitions of 902-1020 First and 900 8th Avenue South, a development fee of 4.5% of total project costs will be
charged throughout the course of each project (the Development Fee), of which one half was due at the close of each acquisition.
In connection with our acquisition of 1991 Main Street, on March 29, 2022, we commenced construction on one of our properties located
in Sarasota, Florida, and in connection therewith, due to an increase in scope of work, we agreed to increase the development fee payable
to an affiliate of our Sponsor under the terms of our existing development management agreement from 4.0% to 4.25%. In addition, again
due to the increase in scope of work, as well as due to increases in construction costs, we revised our construction budget. As a result
of the increase in development fees and revisions to our construction budget, we incurred an additional upfront development fee of $2.5
million, which is included in Real estate under construction in our consolidated balance sheets. The remaining development fee will be
earned throughout the project in accordance with the terms of the development management agreement.
****
The
development company receiving the Development Fee is indirectly owned by our Chief Executive Officer and beneficially owned by certain
immediate family members of our Chief Executive Officer. For additional details regarding our acquisitions of 1991 Main Street, 902-1020

**Director
Independence**
Our
Class A units are listed on the NYSE American under the symbol OZ. Pursuant to NYSE Americans corporate governance
requirements, a majority of a listed companys board of directors must be made up of independent directors. Under the NYSE American
corporate governance requirements, a director is independent if the director is not an executive officer or employee of
the company and the companys board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship that would
interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that
Dean Drulias, Timothy Oberweger, Shawn Orser and Ronald Young, Jr. are independent directors under the NYSE American corporate governance
requirements.
