⁽²⁾Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were calculated using the number of common stock shares distributed on October 6, 2022 in connection with the spin-off transaction.

NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “Bluerock Homes”) was formed in Maryland as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc (“Bluerock Residential”) on December 16, 2021, and historically operated as part of Bluerock Residential and not as a standalone company. On October 6, 2022, Bluerock Residential completed a spin-off transaction that resulted in its single-family residential real estate business and certain other assets being contributed to Bluerock Homes, and Bluerock Homes becoming an independent, publicly traded company. Financial statements for the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022 have been derived from Bluerock Residential's historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included in the financial statements. The financial statements for the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022 also include general and administrative expenses that have been allocated to the Company from Bluerock Residential based on relative unit count. These allocated expenses are for corporate office expenses and management including, but not limited to, executive oversight, asset management, treasury, finance, human resources, tax, accounting, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. However, amounts recognized by the Company are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in these financial statements had the Company operated independently of Bluerock Residential. Any references to “the Company” for all periods ended October 6, 2022 and prior refer to Bluerock Homes as owned by Bluerock Residential.

The Company owns and operates high-quality single-family properties located in attractive markets with a focus on the knowledge-economy and high-quality of life growth markets of the Sunbelt and Western United States. The Company’s principal objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns on investments where it believes it can drive growth in funds from operations and net asset value by acquiring pre-existing single-family residential units, developing build-to-rent communities, and through Value-Add renovations. The Company’s Value-Add strategy focuses on repositioning lower-quality, less current assets to drive rent growth and expand margins to increase net operating income and maximize the Company’s return on investment.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company held seventeen real estate investments, consisting of ten consolidated operating investments and seven preferred equity investments. The seventeen investments contain an aggregate of 3,996 residential units, comprised of 2,331 consolidated operating units and 1,665 units held through preferred equity investments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s consolidated operating investments were approximately 94.4% occupied.

In October 2023, the Company filed its U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year ending December 31, 2022 and elected to be treated, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to corporate-level income taxes. To maintain its REIT status, the Company is required, among other requirements, to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the Company’s stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and it would not be permitted to qualify as a REIT for four years following the year in which its qualification was denied. The Company intends to continue to organize and operate in such a manner as to remain qualified as a REIT.

The Company conducts its operations through Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., its operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which it is the sole general partner. The combined consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2023, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 68.27% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (60.30% is held by holders of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) and 7.97% is held by holders of the Operating Partnership’s long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”), including 4.48% which are not vested as of September 30, 2023).

Table of Contents

The combined consolidated financial statements include certain prior period reclassifications made by the Company to reflect the Operating Partnership unitholders’ approximately 66% ownership in the Company following the spin-off transaction. Reclassifications to net income (loss) on the combined consolidated statements of operations, along with reclassifications to stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interest for Operating Partnership unitholders on the combined consolidated balances sheets and statements of stockholders’ equity, were made for the period ending and prior to October 6, 2022.

Real Estate Investments and Preferred Equity Investments

The Company first analyzes an investment to determine if it is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810: Consolidation and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation of the entity. A VIE is an entity that has (i) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests in a VIE that change in value with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company continuously re-assesses at each level of the investment whether (i) the entity is a VIE, and (ii) the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If it was determined that an entity in which the Company holds an interest qualified as a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary, the entity would be consolidated.

If, after consideration of the VIE accounting literature, the Company has determined that an entity is not a VIE, the Company assesses the need for consolidation under all other provisions of ASC 810. These provisions provide for consolidation of majority-owned entities through a majority voting interest held by the Company providing control.

In assessing whether the Company is in control of and requiring consolidation of the limited liability company and partnership venture structures, the Company evaluates the respective rights and privileges afforded each member or partner (collectively referred to as “member”). The Company’s member would not be deemed to control the entity if any of the other members has either (i) substantive kickout rights providing the ability to dissolve (liquidate) the entity or otherwise remove the managing member or general partner without cause or (ii) substantive participating rights in the entity. Substantive participating rights (whether granted by contract or law) provide for the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions of the entity that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business.

The Company analyzes each investment that involves real estate acquisition, development, and construction to consider whether the investment qualifies as an investment in a real estate acquisition, development, and construction arrangement. The Company has evaluated its real estate investments as required by ASC 310-10 Receivables and concluded that no investments are considered an investment in a real estate acquisition, development, or construction arrangement. As such, the Company next evaluates if these investments are considered a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities.

For investments that meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities, the Company classifies each preferred equity investment as a held-to-maturity debt security as the Company has the intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity. The Company earns a fixed return on these investments which is included within preferred returns on unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in its combined consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the collectability of each preferred equity investment and estimates a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses. The Company accounts for these investments as preferred equity investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in its combined consolidated balance sheets.

For investments that do not meet the criteria of a security under ASC 320 Investments – Debt Securities, the Company has concluded that the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate. The Company recognizes interest income on its notes receivable on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected. Costs incurred to originate its notes receivable are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related notes receivable. The Company evaluates the collectability of each loan investment and estimates a provision for credit loss, as applicable. Refer to the CECL section of this Note for further information regarding CECL and the Company’s provision for credit losses. The Company did not have any loan investments at September 30, 2023.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Uncertainty Due to Economic Volatility

The Company’s results of operations in the future may be directly or indirectly affected by uncertainties such as the effects of inflation and related volatility in the market. As inflation accelerated rapidly in 2022 and into 2023, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates a total of seven times during 2022 and four times to date during 2023 to curb the effects of rising inflation. The Company’s operating costs, including utilities and payroll, may increase as a result of increases in inflation. Rising interest rates cause uncertainty in credit and capital markets which could have material and adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The long-term impact of these economic developments will largely depend on any future action by the Federal Reserve, future laws that may be enacted, the impact on job growth and the broader economy, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of economic volatility on all aspects of its business.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2023 for discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no material changes to these policies.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited combined consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-1 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not include all the information and notes or disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of the operating results for a full year.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited combined consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 permit entities to elect certain optional expedients in connection with reference rate reform activities and their impact on debt, contract modifications and derivative instruments as it is expected the global market will transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are effective immediately, though as the sunset date of Topic 848 was deferred through the issuance of ASU No. 2022-06, such amendments may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur through December 31, 2024. The Company has not elected the optional expedients, though it continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company estimates provision for credit losses on its loans (notes receivable) and preferred equity investments under CECL. This method is based on expected credit losses for the life of the investment as of each balance sheet date. The method for calculating the estimate of expected credit loss considers historical experience and current conditions for similar loans and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future.

The Company estimates its provision for credit losses using a collective (pool) approach for investments with similar risk characteristics, such as collateral and duration of investment. In measuring the CECL provision for investments that share similar characteristics, the Company applies a default rate to the investments for the remaining loan or preferred equity investment hold period. As the Company does not have a significant historical population of loss data on its loan and preferred equity investments, the Company’s default rate utilized for CECL is based on an external historical loss rate for commercial real estate loans.

In addition to analyzing investments as a pool, the Company performs an individual investment assessment of expected credit losses. If it is determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, or a foreclosure is probable, or the Company expects repayment through the sale of the collateral, the Company calculates expected credit losses based on the value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date. During this review process, if the Company determines that it is probable that it will not be able to collect all amounts due for both principal and interest according to the contractual terms of an investment, that loan or preferred equity investment is not considered fully recoverable and a provision for credit loss is recorded.

In estimating the value of the underlying collateral when determining if a loan or preferred equity investment is fully recoverable, the Company evaluates estimated future cash flows to be generated from the collateral underlying the investment. The inputs and assumptions utilized to estimate the future cash flows of the underlying collateral are based upon the Company’s evaluation of the operating results, economy, market trends, and other factors, including judgments regarding costs to complete any construction activities, lease-up and occupancy rates, rental rates, and capitalization rates utilized to estimate the projected cash flows at the disposition. The Company may also obtain a third-party valuation which may value the collateral through an “as-is” or “stabilized value” methodology. If upon completion of the valuation the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the investment is less than the net carrying value, the Company records a provision for credit loss on that loan or preferred equity investment. As the investment no longer displays the characteristics that are similar to those of the pool of loans or preferred equity investments, the investment is removed from the CECL collective (pool) analysis described above.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

The following table summarizes amounts related to discontinued operations that resulted from trailing sales activity of multifamily investments in 2021 (amounts in thousands). The Company previously concluded that these multifamily investment sales were discontinued operations as the asset group represented a component of an entity, the component met the criteria of held for sale in 2021, and the disposals represented a strategic shift in the Company’s business from multifamily apartment communities to single-family residential units. As a result, certain items were reclassified as part of discontinued operations for comparative purposes.

The nine units were sold for an aggregate of approximately $2.8 million, subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in such real estate transactions. After deduction for payments of closing costs and fees of $0.1 million, the sales of the nine units generated net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million and a gain on sales of approximately $0.7 million.

During the third quarter 2023, the Company closed on the sales of eighteen units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio pursuant to the terms and conditions of multiple separate purchase and sales agreements. The eighteen units were sold for an aggregate of approximately $3.0 million, subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in such real estate transactions.

Peak Housing Interests and Financing

The Company, along with the operating partnership of Peak Housing REIT (the "Peak REIT OP"), holds a common equity interest in Peak JV 3. In addition to its common equity interest, the Company, through a wholly-owned lender-entity, provided a $20.0 million mezzanine loan to the Peak JV 3 portfolio owner. The entity through which the Company provided the loan (the lender-entity) and the entity to which the loan was provided (the property owner) consolidate into the Company's financial statements. As such, the loan receivable balance and the loan payable balance, and the loan interest income and loan interest expense attributable to the Company, are eliminated through consolidation on the combined consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively. The Company (as lender entity) recognizes Peak REIT OP's portion of interest expense on the loan as income and this amount is reflected in net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in the Company's combined consolidated statements of operations. The mezzanine loan matures on December 31, 2023, contains two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, and can be prepaid without penalty. During 2023, proceeds from the sales of 18 units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio (refer to Note 4 for further information) have been used to reduce the outstanding balance of the mezzanine loan provided by the Company to $17.9 million as of September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

On March 3, 2023, the Company’s agreement with Peak REIT OP regarding its total preferred equity investment in Peak Housing was amended. Previously, the Company earned a 7.0% current return and a 3.0% accrued return, for a total preferred return of 10.0% per annum, on $16.0 million of its investment. On the Company’s remaining $4.3 million investment, it earned a 4.0% current return and a 4.0% accrued return, for a total preferred return of 8.0% per annum. On the Company’s total $20.3 million investment, it earned a total weighted average preferred return of 9.6% per annum. As part of the amendment, the Company’s two tranches of preferred equity investments were combined into one $20.3 million preferred equity investment earning a 6.4% current return and a 3.2% accrued return, for a total preferred return of 9.6% per annum. In addition, the amendment increased the collateral underlying the Company’s preferred equity investment from 474 units to 648 units, and the net assets of the Peak REIT OP were included as additional collateral. Peak REIT OP may sell the units collateralizing the Company’s preferred equity investment, though Peak REIT OP is required to distribute any net sale proceeds to the Company, after consideration for partnership operating expenses and reserve requirements, until the Company’s full preferred equity investment has been repaid in full, subject to certain rate of return requirements and including any accrued but unpaid preferred returns.

During 2023, the Company’s preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP was partially redeemed in the aggregate amount of $9.3 million, which included principal investment of $8.5 million and accrued preferred return of $0.8 million. The Company's partial redemption of its preferred equity investment was a result of the sale by Peak REIT OP of 146 of the 648 units that collateralized the Company's investment. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s remaining preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP was $11.8 million, with a remaining 502 units as collateral underlying the Company's investment.

The Woods at Forest Hill Interests

The Company is party to a joint venture agreement with the Peak REIT OP (the “Woods JV”) to develop approximately 76 build-for-rent, single-family residential units in Forest Hill, Texas. The Company made an original commitment to invest $3.3 million of preferred equity interests in the Woods JV. On March 17, 2023, the Company increased its commitment in the Woods JV by $2.3 million, for a total preferred equity investment commitment of $5.6 million, of which nearly all had been funded as of September 30, 2023. The Company earns a 13.0% per annum accrued return on its original preferred equity investment of $3.3 million. On its additional preferred equity investment commitment of $2.3 million, the Company earns an accrued return on its outstanding capital contributions at a rate of 15.0% per annum compounded monthly, subject to a minimum multiple.

(“Deutsche Bank”), as sole lead arranger, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as paying agent and calculation agent, and the Company as a guarantor. The DB Credit Facility provides for a revolving loan with a maximum commitment amount of $150 million. Borrowings under the DB Credit Facility are limited to financings related to the acquisition, renovation, rehabilitation, maintenance and leasing of single-family residential units initially only in the Peak JV 2 portfolio, though in the second quarter 2023, the DB Credit Facility was amended such that borrowings can also be applied to units in the Indy-Springfield (formerly Peak JV 1) and Savannah-84 (formerly Peak JV 4) portfolios. During the initial term of the DB Credit Facility, borrowings bear interest on the amount drawn at Term SOFR plus 2.80%, and borrowings can be prepaid without premium or penalty. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 8.13% at September 30, 2023. The DB Credit Facility matures on April 6, 2024 and contains two (2) one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The DB Credit Facility contains certain financial and operating covenants, including maximum leverage ratio, minimum debt yield and minimum debt service coverage ratio. At September 30, 2023, the DB Credit Facility was drawn at $50 million and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the DB Credit Facility. The availability of borrowings under the DB Credit Facility at September 30, 2023 was approximately $10 million and is based on the collateral and compliance with various ratios related to those assets.

ILE Sunflower Credit Facility

On December 27, 2021, the Company’s unaffiliated joint venture partner, ILE, entered into a credit facility with Sunflower Bank, N.A. (the “ILE Sunflower Credit Facility”). The ILE Sunflower Credit Facility provides for a revolving loan with an initial commitment amount of $20 million, which commitment contains an accordion feature to a maximum total commitment of up to $50 million. The ILE Sunflower Credit Facility, along with four other separate non-revolving credit facilities (refer to Note 10 for further information), is used in the financing of acquisitions of single-family residential units. Borrowings under the ILE Sunflower Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.0%, subject to a rate floor, and can be prepaid without penalty or premium. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 8.43% at September 30, 2023. The ILE Sunflower Credit Facility matures on December 27, 2024 and contains certain financial and operating covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. At September 30, 2023, ILE was in compliance with all covenants under the ILE Sunflower Credit Facility and the initial commitment was fully drawn at $20 million. A principal of ILE has guaranteed the obligations under the ILE Sunflower Credit Facility and the Company and ILE have pledged certain assets as collateral.

ILE’s fixed rate debt represents the aggregate debt outstanding across two separate credit agreements. Of the $25.3 million balance, $6.5 million held through one credit agreement has a fixed rate of 3.50%, while the remaining $18.8 million held through the second credit agreement has a fixed rate of 3.75%. Both credit agreements mature in 2026.

(2)	The loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest.

(3)	During the second quarter 2023, one ILE credit agreement was amended to reduce and temporarily convert its interest rate from floating to fixed rate through August 1, 2023, upon which such date an interest rate swap became effective, converting the credit agreement to a fixed rate of 6.00%.

(4)	The principal balance includes a $14.3 million senior loan at a fixed rate of 4.31% and a $5.5 million supplemental loan at a fixed rate of 5.23%.

(5)	The principal balance includes a $10.0 million senior loan at a fixed rate of 4.81% and a $4.4 million supplemental loan at a fixed rate of 4.96%.

(6)	The Wayford at Concord loan bears interest at the 30-day average SOFR plus 2.23%. In September 2023, the 30-day average SOFR in effect was 5.31%. SOFR rate is subject to a 2.50% rate cap through April 2025. Please refer to Note 12 for further information.

Deferred financing costs

Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the terms of the related financing agreements, as applicable, which approximates the effective interest method.

Fair value adjustments of debt

The Company records a fair value adjustment based upon the fair value of the loans on the date they were assumed in conjunction with acquisitions. The fair value adjustments are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the loans.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Debt Modification Costs

Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a material change (i.e., a 10% or greater difference in the cash flows between instruments) in the terms of an underlying debt agreement, the Company writes-off any unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments related to the original debt that was extinguished. Prepayment penalties incurred on the early repayment of debt and costs incurred in a debt modification that are not capitalized are also included within loss on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs on the combined consolidated statements of operations. Loss on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs were zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Debt maturities

As of September 30, 2023, contractual principal payments for the five subsequent years and thereafter are as follows (amounts in thousands):

The net book value of real estate assets providing collateral for these above borrowings, including the revolving credit facilities (refer to Note 9 for further information), was $368.5 million as of September 30, 2023.

The mortgage loans encumbering the Company’s properties are nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which the Company would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, the Company or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses. The mortgage loans have a period where a prepayment fee or yield maintenance would be required.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

For financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, fair value is the price the Company would expect to receive to sell an asset, or pay to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date under current market conditions. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction.

In determining fair value, observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions; preference is given to observable inputs. In accordance with GAAP and as defined in ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement, these two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

● Level 1:Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

● Level 2:

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

● Level 3:

Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

Table of Contents

If the inputs used to measure the fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due to affiliates, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments are valued using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market-standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts which would occur if floating interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The floating interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.The inputs used in the valuation of interest rate caps and swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Debt

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for similar liabilities, the fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is estimated at $91.9 million and $93.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying amounts, before adjustments for deferred financing costs, net, of $98.1 million and $99.5 million, respectively. The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated based on the Company’s current interest rates (Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy) for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Note 12 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate caps and swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company has not designated any of the interest rate derivatives as hedges. Although these derivative financial instruments were not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting, the Company believes the derivative financial instruments are effective economic hedges against increases in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had interest rate caps and swaps which effectively limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $94.0 million of the Company’s debt.

Management Agreement

On October 5, 2022, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Operating Partnership and Bluerock Homes Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), which is an affiliate of Bluerock Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”), pursuant to which the Manager will provide for the day-to-day management of the Company’s operations. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager will provide the Company with a management team and appropriate support personnel to provide such management services to the Company. The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs under the supervision and direction of the Company’s board of directions (the “Board”). Specifically, the Manager will be responsible for (i) the selection, purchase and sale of the Company’s portfolio investments, (ii) the Company’s financing activities, and (iii) providing the Company with advisory services, in each case in conformity with the investment guidelines and other policies approved and monitored by its Board. The initial term of the Management Agreement expires on October 6, 2023 and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term on each anniversary date thereafter unless earlier terminated or not renewed in accordance with the terms thereof.

The Company will pay the Manager a base management fee (the “base management fee”) in an amount equal to 1.50% of the Company’s New Stockholders’ Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) per year, as well as an incentive fee (the “incentive fee”) with respect to each calendar quarter (or part thereof that the Management Agreement is in effect) in arrears. The Company will also be required to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses and pay all operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement provides that (i) the base management fee and the incentive fee shall be allocated and payable as one half (50%) in C-LTIP Units and the remainder payable in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board, and (ii) expense reimbursements shall be payable either in cash or C-LTIP Units, at the discretion of the Board. The number of C-LTIP Units payable and issued to the Manager for the base management fee, the incentive fee and expense reimbursements will be equal to the dollar amount (of the portion deemed payable in C-LTIP Units) of the fees earned or reimbursement amount divided by the average of the closing prices of the Class A common stock for the five business days prior to issuance.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded base management fees of $2.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and expense reimbursements of $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The expense reimbursements were recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. There has been no incentive fee expense incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

In conjunction with the offering of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (refer to Note 14 for further information), the Company engaged a related party as dealer manager, and pays up to 10% of the gross offering proceeds from the offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The dealer manager re-allows the substantial majority of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers and incurs costs in excess of the 10%, which costs are borne by the dealer manager without reimbursement by the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $0.3 million in selling commissions and discounts and $0.1 million in dealer manager fees and discounts related to its offering of Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, the Manager was, or shall be, reimbursed for offering costs of $0.1 million in conjunction with the offering of Series A Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The selling commissions, dealer manager fees, discounts and reimbursements for offering costs were recorded as a reduction to the proceeds of the offering.

Administrative Services Agreement

Prior to the completion of the spin-off transaction on October 6, 2022, Bluerock Residential was party to an Administrative Services Agreement (the “ASA”) and a Leasehold Cost-Sharing Agreement (the “CSA”) with BRE and its affiliate, Bluerock Real Estate Holdings, LLC (together “BREH”). Pursuant to the ASA, BREH provided Bluerock Residential with certain human resources, investor relations, marketing, legal and other administrative services (the “Services”). In addition, the ASA permitted certain Bluerock Residential employees to provide services to BREH, on an at-cost basis, generally allocated based on the use of such services for the benefit of the business of BREH, and otherwise subject to the terms of the Services provided by BREH to Bluerock Residential under the ASA. Pursuant to the CSA, Bluerock Residential and BREH were allocated costs, including those costs associated with tenant improvements, with respect to the lease for their New York headquarters (the “NY Lease”). Payments by Bluerock Residential of any amounts payable to BREH under the ASA and CSA were made in cash or, at the discretion of its board of directors, in the form of Bluerock Residential’s long-term incentive plan units.

Pursuant to the terms of the ASA, operating expenses were (i) paid by BREH on behalf of Bluerock Residential, and (ii) paid by Bluerock Residential on behalf of BREH. Pursuant to the terms of the CSA, costs with respect to the NY Lease were paid by BREH on behalf of Bluerock Residential. Recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s combined consolidated statements of operations, operating expenses paid by BREH on behalf of Bluerock Residential of $0.2 million and $0.6 million were expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, Bluerock Residential paid operating expenses on behalf of BREH of $0.2 million and $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. These prior period amounts were allocated to the Company by applying an allocation percentage, which was determined by taking the number of units carved out of the Bluerock Residential portfolio divided by Bluerock Residential’s total portfolio unit count, to the total operating expenses paid on behalf of or by Bluerock Residential. Prior period operating expense amounts recognized by the Company are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company operated independently of Bluerock Residential.

Both the ASA and CSA were terminated in connection with the completion of the spin-off transaction on October 6, 2022.

Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

On October 6, 2022 (the “Distribution Date”), each of the Company’s stockholders received one share of the Company’s common stock for every eight shares of Bluerock Residential common stock held as of the close of business on September 29, 2022. An aggregate of 3,843,502 shares of the Company’s common stock was distributed to its stockholders, comprised of 3,835,013 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 8,489 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock. As the Company had no common stock outstanding prior to the Distribution Date, basic and diluted earnings per share for all prior periods have been calculated based on the aggregate of 3,843,502 shares of the Company’s common stock distributed to its stockholders on the Distribution Date.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on restricted stock, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potential dilutive shares for the period. Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net (loss) income for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested restricted stock, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units.

The Company considers the requirements of the two-class method when preparing earnings per share. The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Class C common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Earnings per share is not affected by the two-class method because the Company’s Class A and C common stock participate in dividends on a one-for-one basis.

⁽¹⁾	Loss from continuing operations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes $(12) of preferred stock dividend expense.

⁽²⁾	Amounts relate to shares of the Company’s Class A and Class C common stock outstanding.

⁽³⁾	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of zero shares and 3,702 shares, respectively, are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive.

The effect of the conversion of OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

On June 28, 2023, the SEC declared effective the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-269415) (the “2023 Registration Statement”). On June 30, 2023, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the 2023 Registration Statement offering a maximum of 20,000,000 shares of 6.0% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), for a maximum offering amount of $500,000,000 in Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Offering”), and on August 11, 2023, the Company made the initial issuances of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of the Company’s common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled, when and as authorized by the Board and declared by the Company out of legally available funds, to priority cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 6.0% of the Stated Value to be paid monthly, in arrears. Holders may, at their option, elect to have the Company redeem their shares through the first year from issuance subject to a 12% redemption fee. After year one, the redemption fee decreases to 9%, after year two it decreases to 6%, after year three it decreases to 3%, and after year four there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed shares are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of the redemption, payable by the Company, at its option, in either cash or in equal value of shares of its Class A common stock. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock beginning two years from the original issuance for the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, in either cash or in equal value of shares of its Class A common stock, at the Company's option, with the number of shares of Class A common stock issued for redemption (if any) based on the closing price per share of the Class A common stock for the single trading day prior to the date of redemption.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had issued 152,222 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering with net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million after commissions, dealer manager fees and discounts of approximately $0.4 million. The Company did not redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units

As of September 30, 2023, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 68.27% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (7,368,303 OP Units, or 60.30%, is held by OP Unit holders, and 973,463 LTIP Units, or 7.97%, is held by LTIP Unit holders, including 4.48% which are not vested as of September 30, 2023). Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement, OP Units are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s election, redeemable for cash. LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units may be convertible into OP Units under certain conditions and then may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or, at the Company’s election, cash.

The Company granted C-LTIP Units to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement in payment of (i) the base management fee and (ii) the operating expense reimbursement as follows: (a) 85,750 and 17,462 C-LTIP Units, respectively, granted on February 22, 2023 for the fourth quarter 2022, (b) 114,391 and 20,531 C-LTIP Units, respectively, granted on May 17, 2023 for the first quarter 2023, and (c) 125,491 and 24,753 C-LTIP Units, respectively, granted on August 15, 2023 for the second quarter 2023. Such C-LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance.

In the future, the Operating Partnership may issue OP Units or preferred OP Units from time to time in connection with acquisitions of properties or for financing, compensation or other reasons.

The Board has adopted, and the Company’s sole initial stockholder has approved, the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Individuals (the “BHM Individuals Plan”) and the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Entities (the “BHM Entities Plan”). Together, the Company refers to the BHM Individuals Plan and the BHM Entities Plan as the “BHM Incentive Plans.” The BHM Incentive Plans provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, and are administered by the compensation committee of the Board.

LTIP Unit Grants

On January 1, 2023, the Company granted 3,303 LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans to each independent member of the Board in payment of the equity portion of their respective annual retainers. Such LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance and the Company recognized expense of $0.3 million based on the fair value at the date of grant.

On May 25, 2023, the Company granted 141,665 LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans to the Manager as an annual long-term incentive equity grant for the year ended December 31, 2022. Such LTIP Units will vest in equal installments on an annual basis over a three-year period from April 1, 2023.

The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for time-based LTIP Units based on the fair value at the date of grant. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense for such LTIP Units of approximately $0.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, there was $9.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested LTIP Units granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.7 years.

Restricted Stock Grants

On May 25, 2023, the Company granted 31,260 shares of Class A common stock as restricted stock grants (“RSGs”), pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans, to the Manager as an annual incentive grant for the year ended December 31, 2022. Such RSGs will vest in equal installments on an annual basis over a three-year period from April 1, 2023.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense for such RSGs of approximately $0.05 million and $0.06 million, respectively. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, there was $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSGs granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.5 years.

The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award grants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the historical results of operations and liquidity and capital resources of Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. (“Bluerock Homes,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which was formed in Maryland as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (“Bluerock Residential”) on December 16, 2021, and historically operated as part of Bluerock Residential and not as a standalone company. On October 6, 2022, Bluerock Residential completed a spin-off transaction that resulted in its single-family residential real estate business and certain other assets being contributed to Bluerock Homes, and Bluerock Homes becoming an independent, publicly traded company. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of Bluerock Homes and the notes thereto. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those made, projected or implied in the forward-looking statements.

For the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022, the financial statements have been derived from Bluerock Residential's historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of Bluerock Homes are included in the financial statements. These financial statements also include general and administrative expenses that have been allocated to Bluerock Homes from Bluerock Residential based on relative unit count. These allocated expenses are for corporate office expenses and management including, but not limited to, executive oversight, asset management, treasury, finance, human resources, tax, accounting, financial reporting, information technology and investor relations. However, amounts recognized by Bluerock Homes are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in these financial statements had it operated independently of Bluerock Residential. Any references to “the Company” “we,” “us,” or “our” for all periods ended October 6, 2022 and prior refer to Bluerock Homes as owned by Bluerock Residential.

Forward-Looking Statements

These forward-looking statements are based upon our present expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate, and beliefs of and assumptions made by our management involve uncertainty that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and are not guaranteed to occur. Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. Investors should not place undue reliance upon these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements due to numerous factors.

Additional factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

●

The impact of volatility in capital and credit markets, or unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including those caused by inflation and rising interest rates, in the markets in which we operate;

●

The impact of epidemics, pandemics, or other outbreaks of illness, disease or virus (such as the outbreak of novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and its variants) and the actions taken by government authorities and other related thereto, including the ability of our company, our properties and our tenants to operate;

●

the factors included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;

●

use of proceeds of our securities offerings;

Table of Contents

●

fluctuations and relative increases in interest rates, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all;

●

the inability of tenants to pay rent;

●

the existence and quality of the competition, such as the attractiveness of our properties as compared to our competitors’ properties based on considerations such as convenience of location, rental rates and safety record;

●

increased operating costs, including increased real property taxes, homeowners association (“HOA”) fees, maintenance, insurance and utilities costs;

●

weather conditions that may increase or decrease energy costs and other weather-related expenses;

●

oversupply of single-family housing or a reduction in demand for real estate in the markets in which our properties are located;

●

costs and time period required to convert acquisitions to rental units;

●

a favorable interest rate environment that may result in a significant number of potential residents of our properties deciding to purchase homes instead of renting;

●

rules, regulations and/or policy initiatives by government and private actors, including HOAs, to discourage or deter the purchase of single-family properties by entities owned or controlled by institutional investors;

●

our ability to lease newly acquired or newly constructed single-family units;

●

changes in, or increased costs of compliance with, laws and/or governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes;

●

rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs;

●

the board of directors’ determination as to timing and payment of dividends, and our ability to pay future distributions at the dividend rates we have paid (if any);

●

our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"); and

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 22, 2023, and subsequent filings by us with the SEC, or ("Risk Factors").

Overview

We own and operate high-quality single-family properties located in attractive markets with a focus on the knowledge-economy and high-quality of life growth markets of the Sunbelt and Western United States. Our principal objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns on investments where we believe we can drive growth in funds from operations and net asset value by acquiring pre-existing single-family residential units, developing build-to-rent communities, and through Value-Add renovations. Our Value-Add strategy focuses on repositioning lower-quality, less current assets to drive rent growth and expand margins to increase net operating income and maximize our return on investment.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2023, we held seventeen real estate investments, consisting of ten consolidated operating investments and seven preferred equity investments. The seventeen investments contain an aggregate of 3,996 residential units, comprised of 2,331 consolidated operating units and 1,665 units held through preferred equity investments. As of September 30, 2023, our consolidated operating investments were approximately 94.4% occupied.

In October 2023, we filed our U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year ending December 31, 2022 and elected to be treated, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to corporate-level income taxes. To maintain our REIT status, we are required, among other requirements, to distribute annually at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and we would not be permitted to qualify as a REIT for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and results of operations. We intend to continue to organize and operate in such a manner as to remain qualified as a REIT.

Inflation and Related Economic Volatility

While inflationary pressures have shown signs of moderation, we continue to monitor increases in inflation and rising interest rates and resulting economic changes in credit and capital markets. Inflation and its related impacts, including increased prices for services and goods and higher interest rates and wages, and any policy interventions by the U.S. government, could negatively impact our residents’ ability to pay rents and our results of operations. Substantially all our leases are for a term of one year or less, which we believe mitigates our exposure to inflation, by permitting us to set rents commensurate with inflation (subject to rent regulations to the extent they apply and assuming our current or prospective residents will accept and can pay commensurate increased rents, of which there can be no assurance). Inflation could outpace any increases in rent and adversely affect us. We may not be able to mitigate the effects of inflation and related impacts, and the duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any such related adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition are unknown at this time. Inflation may also cause increased volatility in financial markets, which could affect our ability to access the capital markets or impact the cost or timing at which we are able to do so. Inflation may also increase the costs to complete our development projects, including costs of materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and our expected yields on development projects.

Additionally, recent developments in the banking industry have caused uncertainty and concern regarding the strength of the banking system. As a result, the cost of obtaining debt from credit and capital markets has increased as many lenders have increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, and reduced and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers. Although our banking relationships are primarily with large national banks, a significant disruption to the banking system could lead to market-wide liquidity problems which could adversely affect our access to capital and our cost of capital. If we need to incur debt from a source other than our revolving credit facilities, we cannot be certain the additional financing will be available to the extent required and on acceptable terms. If debt financing on acceptable terms is not available, we may be unable to fully execute our growth strategy, otherwise take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Other weakened economic conditions, including job losses, high unemployment levels, stock market volatility, and uncertainty about the future, could adversely affect rental rates and occupancy levels. Unfavorable changes in economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results.

Other Significant Developments

Acquisition of Additional Savannah-84 units, formerly Peak JV 4

On February 23, 2023, we acquired 18 single-family residential units located in Savannah, Georgia that were added to the existing Savannah-84 portfolio. We have a 100% interest in the units and the purchase price of approximately $4.2 million was fully funded in cash upon acquisition.

Acquisition of Additional Interests in Investments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired the noncontrolling partner’s interest in the following consolidated operating investments ($ in thousands):


				Previous		New
				Ownership		Ownership
Property	Date	Amount		Interest		Interest
Savannah-84	January 6, 2023	$	939	80	%	100	%

During the second quarter 2023, we closed on the following sales: one unit in the Golden Pacific portfolio, six units in the Peak JV 2 portfolio, and two units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio, pursuant to the terms and conditions of multiple separate purchase and sales agreements. The nine units were sold for an aggregate of approximately $2.8 million, subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in such real estate transactions. After deduction for payments of closing costs and fees of $0.1 million, the sales of the nine units generated net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million and a gain on sales of approximately $0.7 million.

During the third quarter 2023, we closed on the sales of eighteen units in the Peak JV 3 portfolio, pursuant to the terms and conditions of multiple separate purchase and sales agreements. The eighteen units were sold for an aggregate of approximately $3.0 million, subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in such real estate transactions. After deduction for payments of closing costs and fees of $0.1 million, the sales of the eighteen units generated net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million and no gain on sales.

Preferred Equity Investment Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our preferred equity investment activity was as follows: (i) we increased our preferred equity investment commitments in (a) the Willow Park joint venture by $2.1 million, for a total commitment of $4.6 million, and (b) The Woods at Forest Hill joint venture by $2.3 million, for a total commitment of $5.6 million, and (ii) our preferred equity investment in the operating partnership of Peak Housing REIT ( the “Peak REIT OP”) was partially redeemed in the aggregate amount of $9.3 million, which included principal investment of $8.5 million and accrued preferred return of $0.8 million, leaving our remaining preferred equity investment in the Peak REIT OP at $11.8 million as of September 30, 2023. Additionally, we funded an aggregate of approximately $7.5 million of preferred equity investments in The Woods at Forest Hill, Wayford at Innovation Park and Willow Park.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

On June 28, 2023, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-269415) (the “2023 Registration Statement”). On June 30, 2023, we filed a prospectus supplement to the 2023 Registration Statement offering a maximum of 20,000,000 shares of 6.0% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $500,000,000 in Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Offering”), and on August 11, 2023, we made the initial issuance of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering.

As of September 30, 2023, we had issued 152,222 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering with net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million after commissions, dealer manager fees and discounts of approximately $0.4 million.

Stockholders’ Equity

Our total stockholders’ equity decreased $4.9 million from $160.0 million as of December 31, 2022 to $155.1 million as of September 30, 2023. The decrease in our total stockholders’ equity is primarily attributable to an adjustment of $3.6 million for noncontrolling interest ownership in the Operating Partnership and a net loss of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million related to the acquisition of noncontrolling interests.

Rental and other property revenues increased $1.6 million, or 18%, to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $8.6 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to unit count growth of 137 units, net of 27 units sold, in our portfolio since July 1, 2022 and operational improvements from our active management and organic market rent growth.

Our average rent per occupied unit increased $98, or 6.6%, to $1,581 as compared to $1,483 during the prior year period. Average occupancy increased 260 basis points from 91.5% to 94.1% on a year over year basis. The improvement was partially driven by: (i) stabilization of units under renovation within our value-enhancement strategy, and (ii) stabilization of units that are sometimes purchased from owner occupants which can create modest frictional vacancy for a brief period of time after acquisition.

Interest income from loan investments decreased $0.1 million, or 100%, to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $0.1 million for the same prior year period due to the payoff of one loan since September 30, 2022. We did not have any loan investments during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $0.7 million, or 15%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $4.4 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of units since July 1, 2022 and additional repairs and maintenance as part of our lease up stabilization strategy. Property operating expenses consist of controllable (payroll, repairs and maintenance, turnover, administrative, advertising, and utilities) and non-controllable (real estate taxes and insurance) expenses. Controllable expenses were $2.6 million and $2.3 million, and non-controllable expenses were $2.5 million and $2.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Property management and asset management fee expenses were $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, consistent with the prior year period. Property management fees are based on a stated percentage of property revenues and asset management fees are based on a stated percentage of capital contributions or assets under management, where applicable. Although revenues increased 18% compared to the prior year period, the negotiation of management fees with two property managers in 2023 resulted in property management fees remaining consistent with the prior year period.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses amounted to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $1.8 million for the same prior year period. Amounts recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023 represent our operations as a standalone company. For the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022, allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses were allocated to us from Bluerock Residential based on relative unit count. As such, expense amounts recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had we operated independently of Bluerock Residential.

Management fees to related party amounted to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Commencing on October 6, 2022, we are externally managed and advised by our Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement. There was no management fee expense prior to October 6, 2022.

Acquisition and other transaction costs amounted to $0.01 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $0.03 million for the same prior year period. Acquisition costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $3.6 million for the same prior year period, with the increase primarily attributable to the acquisition of units since July 1, 2022.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense amounted to income of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to income of $2.6 million for the same prior year period. This was due to a $2.5 million net increase in interest expense attributable to a $3.2 million decrease in the fair value of interest rate caps and swaps, a $0.2 million increase in interest expense attributable to an increase in the outstanding debt to $167.1 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to $153.6 million at September 30, 2022, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in interest income from our short-term investments. In addition, there was a $0.2 million increase in property casualty losses. The $2.7 million increase in net interest expense and property casualty losses was partially offset by an increase in preferred returns on unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $0.3 million as funding to our preferred equity investments increased to $85.3 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to $83.0 million at September 30, 2022. In addition, 18 units were sold during the quarter at net book value with no gain on sales.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations amounted to income of zero for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to income of $0.3 million for the same prior year period due to trailing sales activity of multifamily investments in 2021.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenue

Rental and other property revenues increased $7.5 million, or 32%, to $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $23.1 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to unit count growth of 542 units, net of 27 units sold, in our portfolio since January 1, 2022 and operational improvements from our active management and organic market rent growth.

Our average rent per occupied unit increased $145, or 10.2%, to $1,560 as compared to $1,415 during the prior year period. Average occupancy increased 220 basis points from 92.0% to 94.2% on a year over year basis. The improvement was partially driven by: (i) stabilization of units under renovation within our value-enhancement strategy, and (ii) stabilization of units that are sometimes purchased from owner occupants which can create modest frictional vacancy for a brief period of time after acquisition.

Interest income from loan investments decreased $1.3 million, or 100%, to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $1.3 million for the same prior year period due to the payoff of two loans in 2022. We did not have any loan investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $3.2 million, or 29%, to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $11.0 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of units since January 1, 2022 and additional repairs and maintenance as part of our lease up stabilization strategy. Property operating expenses consist of controllable (payroll, repairs and maintenance, turnover, administrative, advertising, and utilities) and non-controllable (real estate taxes and insurance) expenses. Controllable expenses were $6.8 million and $5.3 million, and non-controllable expenses were $7.4 million and $5.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Property management and asset management fee expenses were $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $2.6 million in the same prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of units since January 1, 2022 , partially offset by lower property management fees negotiated with two property managers in 2023. Property management fees are based on a stated percentage of property revenues and asset management fees are based on a stated percentage of capital contributions or assets under management, where applicable.

General and administrative expenses amounted to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $5.0 million for the same prior year period. Amounts recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 represent our operations as a standalone company. For the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022, allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses were allocated to us from Bluerock Residential based on relative unit count. As such, expense amounts recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had we operated independently of Bluerock Residential.

Management fees to related party amounted to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Commencing on October 6, 2022, we are externally managed and advised by our Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement. There was no management fee expense prior to October 6, 2022.

Acquisition and other transaction costs amounted to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $0.1 million for the same prior year period. The 2023 expense primarily relates to the transition of property management services for over 1,000 units.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $12.2 million for the same prior year period, with the decrease primarily attributable to in-place leases being fully amortized prior to 2023 partially offset by the acquisition of units since January 1, 2022.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense amounted to income of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to income of $3.3 million for the same prior year period. This was due to a $4.1 million net increase in interest expense attributable to a $4.1 million decrease in the fair value of interest rate caps and swaps, a $1.6 million increase in interest expense attributable to an increase in the outstanding debt to $167.1 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to $153.6 million at September 30, 2022 (which was offset by a $1.6 million increase in interest income from our short-term investments), a $0.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, and $0.2 million from property casualty losses. These expenses were partially offset by an increase in preferred returns on unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $2.8 million as funding to our preferred equity investments increased to $85.3 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to $39.6 million at December 31, 2021 and an increase in gain on sale of real estate investments of $0.7 million due to the sale of 27 units during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations amounted to income of zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to income of $0.3 million for the same prior year period due to trailing sales activity of multifamily investments in 2021.

Net Operating Income

We believe that net operating income (“NOI”) is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and interest. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. NOI also is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance.

We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from operating income or net income prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our properties because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses.

However, NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our financial performance. The following table reflects net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders together with a reconciliation to NOI, as computed in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented (amounts in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, both short- and long-term. Our primary short-term liquidity requirements historically have related to (i) our operating expenses and other general business needs, (ii) acquisition of properties, (iii) committed investments and capital requirements to fund development and renovations at existing properties, (iv) ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, including our revolving credit facilities and our maturing debt, and (v) distributions to stockholders.

Table of Contents

Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our short-term liquidity needs could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including the risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023. While consolidated occupancy remains strong at 94.4% as of September 30, 2023, in future periods we may experience reduced levels of tenant retention, and reduced foot traffic and lease applications from prospective tenants.

In general, we believe our available cash balances, cash flows from operations, proceeds from the Series A Preferred Offering, proceeds from our revolving credit facilities, proceeds from future mortgage debt financings for acquisitions and/or development projects, and other financing arrangements will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements with respect to our existing portfolio for the next 12 months. In general, we expect that our results related to our existing portfolio will improve in future periods as a result of anticipated future investments in and acquisitions of single-family residential properties and build-to-rent development properties.

We believe we will be able to meet our primary liquidity requirements going forward through, among other sources:

●

$89.4 million in cash available at September 30, 2023;

●

capacity of $100 million, of which approximately $10 million was available as of September 30, 2023 on our revolving credit facilities dedicated to single-family residential investments;

●

proceeds from future mortgage debt financings for acquisition and/or development projects;

●

cash generated from operating activities; and

●

proceeds from our Series A Preferred Offering and potential offerings of common and preferred stock, as well as issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2023 related to our mortgage notes secured by our properties and revolving credit facilities. At September 30, 2023, our estimated future required payments on these obligations were as follows (amounts in thousands):


			Less than
	Total		One year		2024-2025		2026-2027		Thereafter
Mortgages Payable (Principal)	$	97,107	$	402	$	3,356	$	38,337	$	55,012
Revolving Credit Facilities		70,000		—		70,000		—		—
Estimated Interest Payments on Mortgages Payable and Revolving Credit Facilities		26,569		2,572		12,022		7,881		4,094
Total	$	193,676	$	2,974	$	85,378	$	46,218	$	59,106

Estimated interest payments are based on the stated rates for mortgage notes payable assuming the interest rate in effect for the most recent quarter remains in effect through the respective maturity dates.

As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of our contractual commitments to fund future cash obligations in certain of our preferred equity and joint venture investments was $0.2 million.

As equity capital market conditions permit, we may supplement our capital for short-term liquidity needs with proceeds of potential offerings of common and preferred stock, as well as issuance of OP Units. Given the significant volatility in the trading price of REIT equities and our otherwise stable financial condition and liquidity position, we cannot provide assurances that these offerings are a likely source of capital to meet short-term liquidity needs.

Our primary long-term liquidity requirements relate to (i) costs for additional single-family residential investments, including build-to-rent development investments, (ii) repayment of long-term debt and our revolving credit facilities, (iii) capital expenditures, and (iv) cash redemption requirements related to our Series A Preferred Stock.

Table of Contents

We intend to finance our long-term liquidity requirements with net proceeds of additional issuances of common and preferred stock, including our Series A Preferred Offering, our revolving credit facilities, as well as future acquisition or project-based borrowings. Our success in meeting these requirements will therefore depend upon our ability to access capital. Further, our ability to access equity capital is dependent upon, among other things, general market conditions for REITs and the capital markets generally, market perceptions about us and our asset class, and current trading prices of our securities.

As we did in the three months ended September 30, 2023, we may also selectively sell consolidated operating assets at appropriate times, which would be expected to generate cash sources for both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

We may also meet our long-term liquidity needs through borrowings from a number of sources, either at the corporate or project level. We believe our revolving credit facilities will serve as our primary debt source that will continue to enable us to deploy our capital more efficiently and provide capital structure flexibility as we grow our asset base. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.

If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we would likely need to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to and developments of real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We also may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times to maintain REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption.

We expect to maintain a distribution on our Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms which require monthly dividends. While our distributions through September 30, 2023 have been paid from cash flow from operations and in accordance with our policy, distributions in the future may be paid from cash flow from operations, proceeds from our Series A Preferred Offering, the sales of assets and additional sources, such as from borrowings.

We also have preferred equity interests in properties that are in various stages of development, in lease-up and operating, and our preferred equity investments are structured to provide a current and/or accrued preferred return during all phases. Each joint venture in which we own a preferred equity interest is required to redeem our preferred equity interests, plus any accrued preferred return, based on a fixed maturity date, generally in relation to the property’s construction loan or mortgage loan maturity. Upon redemption of the preferred membership interests, our income, FFO, CFFO and cash flows could be reduced below the preferred returns currently being recognized. Alternatively, if the joint ventures do not redeem our preferred membership interest when required, our income, FFO, CFFO and cash flows could be reduced if the development project does not produce sufficient cash flow to pays its operating expenses, debt service and preferred return obligations. As we evaluate our capital position and capital allocation strategy, we may consider alternative means of financing our development loan and preferred equity investment activities at the subsidiary level.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2023, we have off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2023, we own interests in seven joint ventures that are accounted for as held to maturity debt securities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of September 30, 2023, we owned indirect equity interests in seventeen real estate investments, consisting of ten consolidated operating investments and seven preferred equity investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $6.8 million after net loss of $10.1 million was adjusted for the following:

●

non-cash items of $14.9 million;

●

distributions of income and preferred returns from preferred equity investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $1.3 million;

●

an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $1.2 million; and

●

an increase in due to affiliates of $0.4 million; offset by:

●

an increase in accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets of $0.8 million.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million, primarily due to the following:

●

$7.5 million used in additional investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures;

●

$7.2 million used on capital expenditures; and

●

$4.3 million used in acquiring consolidated real estate investments; offset by:

●

$8.5 million of proceeds from the redemption of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures; and

●

$5.6 million of proceeds from sale of real estate investments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $11.2 million, primarily due to the following:

●

$21.0 million of proceeds from revolving credit facilities;

●

net proceeds of $3.4 million from the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in our Series A Preferred Offering; and

●

$0.3 million of contributions from noncontrolling interests; offset by:

●

$6.0 million of repayments on revolving credit facilities;

●

$5.0 million used in the purchase of interests from noncontrolling interests;

●

$1.1 million of payments of deferred financing fees;

●

$1.1 million of repayments on our mortgages payable; and

●

$0.2 million of distributions paid to partially owned properties noncontrolling interests.

Capital Expenditures

The following table summarizes our total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Redevelopment/renovations	$	3,917	$	12,291
Routine capital expenditures		2,268		2,150
Normally recurring capital expenditures		314		180
Total capital expenditures	$	6,499	$	14,621

Redevelopment and renovation costs are non-recurring capital expenditures for significant projects, such as preparing a unit for rental. The renovation work varies, but may include flooring, cabinetry, paint, plumbing, appliances and other items required to make the unit rent ready. Routine capital expenditures are necessary non-revenue generating improvements that extend the useful life of the property and that are less frequent in nature, such as roof repairs and concrete work/asphalt resurfacing. Normally recurring capital expenditures are necessary non-revenue generating improvements that occur on a regular ongoing basis, such as flooring and appliances.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unit Holders

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and core funds from operations (“CFFO”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT.

Table of Contents

FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. We define FFO, consistent with the NAREIT definition, as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable real estate property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for notes receivable, unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

CFFO makes certain adjustments to FFO, removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations such as acquisition and other transaction costs, non-cash interest, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, provision for (recovery of) credit losses, losses on extinguishment of debt and debt modification costs (includes prepayment penalties incurred and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments of assumed debt), one-time weather-related costs and equity compensation expense. We believe that CFFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to our core recurring property operations. As a result, we believe that CFFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and provides a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential.

Our calculation of CFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and acquisition and other transaction costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO and CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our stockholders with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs.

Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income (loss), including net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income, including net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

We historically operated as part of Bluerock Residential and not as a standalone company. On October 6, 2022, Bluerock Residential completed a spin-off transaction that resulted in its single-family residential real estate business and certain other assets being contributed to us. Financial statements for the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022 have been derived from Bluerock Residential’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with our business activity are included in the financial statements. The financial statements for the period ended and prior to October 6, 2022 also include allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses that have been allocated to us from Bluerock Residential based on relative unit count. However, amounts recognized by us are not representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in these financial statements had we operated independently of Bluerock Residential. As such, the results presented in the table below are not directly comparable and should not be considered an indication of our future operating performance.

Operating cash flow, FFO and CFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and CFFO.

Presentation of this information is intended to assist the reader in comparing the sustainability of the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO or CFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO or CFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders or as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Both FFO and CFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements.

A portion of each dividend may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. There is no assurance that we will continue to declare dividends or at this rate. Holders of OP Units, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units are entitled to receive "distribution equivalents" at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of our Class A common stock.

Our board of directors (the “Board”) will determine the amount of dividends to be paid to our stockholders. The determination of our Board will be based on several factors, including funds available from operations, our capital expenditure requirements and the annual distribution requirements necessary to qualify and maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes. As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. To qualify and maintain our REIT status, we will be required to distribute annually at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. While our policy is generally to pay distributions from cash flow from operations, we may declare distributions in excess of funds from operations.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Subsequent Events

Other than the items disclosed in Note 16 "Subsequent Events" to our interim Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2023, no material events have occurred that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowing activities. There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements. We are not subject to foreign exchange rates or commodity price risk, and all our financial instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below ($ in thousands) presents the principal payments and the weighted average interest rates on outstanding debt, by year of expected maturity, to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. A negligible amount of fair value adjustments and unamortized deferred financing costs, net, are excluded.


	2023			2024			2025			2026			2027			Thereafter			Total
Mortgage Notes Payable	$	402		$	1,639		$	1,717		$	37,471		$	866		$	55,012		$	97,107
Weighted Average Interest Rate		4.21	%		4.21	%		4.21	%		4.13	%		5.96	%		6.44	%		5.46	%

Revolving Credit Facilities	$	—		$	70,000		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	70,000
Weighted Average Interest Rate		—			8.22	%		—			—			—			—			8.22	%

The fair value of mortgages payable is estimated at $91.9 million as of September 30, 2023.

The table above incorporates those exposures that exist as of September 30, 2023; it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and interest rates.

As of September 30, 2023, we had interest rate caps and swaps, which are not accounted for as hedges, that we primarily use as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Our interest rate caps and swaps effectively limit our exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying interest rate for $94.0 million of our debt.

Based on our debt outstanding and interest rates in effect at September 30, 2023, a 100-basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the portion of our debt bearing interest at variable rates would increase interest expense by approximately $50,000 or decrease interest expense by approximately $50,000, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2023, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the following, there have been no material changes to our potential risks and uncertainties as presented in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023.

Your interests could be subordinated and/or diluted by the incurrence of additional debt, the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock, including additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and by other transactions.

As of September 30, 2023, our total indebtedness was approximately $167.1 million, which includes $70.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. We may incur significant additional debt in the future. The Series A Preferred Stock is subordinate to all our existing and future debt and liabilities and those of our subsidiaries. Our future debt may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to preferred stockholders in the event of a default under the debt facilities or under other circumstances. In addition, our charter currently authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and as of September 30, 2023, we had issued and outstanding 152,222 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional preferred stock on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock would dilute the interests of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and any issuance of preferred stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or of additional indebtedness could affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on the Series A Preferred Stock. We may issue preferred stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the right of holders to cause us to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon a change of control, none of the provisions relating to the Series A Preferred Stock relate to or limit our indebtedness or afford the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including a merger or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all our assets or business, that might adversely affect the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

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

None.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (each as defined in Item 408(a) and (c), respectively, of Regulation S-K).

Grants of LTIP Units and Restricted Stock for Services

As the Company previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2022 with the SEC, on October 5, 2022, we entered into a Management Agreement (as amended by that certain Amendment to Management Agreement dated January 10, 2023, the “Management Agreement”) with our operating partnership, Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and our external manager, Bluerock Homes Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), pursuant to which the Manager administers our business activities and day-to-day operations. As contemplated by the Management Agreement and by mutual agreement of the Manager and its affiliate, Bluerock Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“BREH”), both the executive management team of the Manager and the personnel who provide other services to the Manager are employed and compensated by BREH (collectively, the “BREH Personnel”), and pursuant to the Management Agreement, payroll-related expenses incurred by BREH in connection therewith, including bonus expenses, are the responsibility of the Manager (the “Personnel Expense Obligation”).

On November 3, 2023, by mutual agreement of the Manager and the Company, at the direction of the Manager in satisfaction of the Manager’s Personnel Expense Obligation to BREH for the portions of the initial staking grant payable by BREH as equity bonuses to certain of the BREH Personnel for services provided to the Manager, we caused the Operating Partnership to issue the following long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) in the Operating Partnership pursuant to the BHM Individuals Plan: (i) 126,011 LTIP Units to R. Ramin Kamfar (“Mr. Kamfar”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer thereof; (ii) 42,716 LTIP Units to Jordan Ruddy (“Mr. Ruddy”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as President thereof; (iii) 81,160 LTIP Units to Ryan MacDonald (“Mr. MacDonald”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Investment Officer thereof; (iv) 17,087 LTIP Units to James G. Babb, III (“Mr. Babb”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Strategy Officer thereof; (v) 21,358 LTIP Units to Christopher J. Vohs (“Mr. Vohs”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer thereof; (vi) 32,037 LTIP Units to Michael DiFranco (“Mr. DiFranco”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Executive Vice President, Operations thereof; (vii) 25,630 LTIP Units to Jason Emala (“Mr. Emala”) for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Legal Officer and Secretary thereof; and (viii) 21,358 LTIP Units to a non-executive employee of BREH for services provided to the Manager in such capacity. Such LTIP Units will vest one-fifth on November 3, 2023, and the remainder will vest ratably on an annual basis over a four-year period.

In addition, on November 3, 2023, by mutual agreement of the Manager and the Company, at the direction of the Manager in satisfaction of the Manager’s Personnel Expense Obligation to BREH for certain portions of the annual long-term equity incentive grant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 payable by BREH as equity bonuses to certain of the BREH Personnel for services provided to the Manager, we caused the Operating Partnership to issue the following additional LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Individuals Plan: (i) 34,585 LTIP Units to Mr. Ruddy for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as President thereof; (ii) 2,471 LTIP Units to Mr. Babb for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Strategy Officer thereof; (iii) 3,706 LTIP Units to Mr. Vohs for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer thereof; (iv) 3,706 LTIP Units to Mr. DiFranco for services provided to the Manager in his capacity as Executive Vice President, Operations thereof; and (v) an aggregate of 39,527 LTIP Units allocated among certain non-executive employees of BREH for services provided to the Manager in such capacities. Such LTIP Units will vest one-third on May 25, 2024, and the remainder will vest ratably on an annual basis over a two-year period from April 1, 2024.

Table of Contents

All the foregoing issuances of LTIP Units and Restricted Shares were made in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D thereunder for transactions not involving any public offering. No general solicitation or advertising occurred in connection with the issuance and sale of these securities. Once vested, the foregoing LTIP Units may convert to limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) upon reaching capital account equivalency with the OP Units held by us, and may then be redeemed for cash or, at our option and after a one year holding period (including any period during which the LTIP Units were held), settled in shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Each recipient of such LTIP Units and/or Restricted Shares will be entitled to receive “distribution equivalents” with respect to such LTIP Units and/or Restricted Shares, whether or not vested, at the same time as distributions are paid to the holders of our Class A common stock.

Voluntary Forfeiture of Previously Granted, Unvested LTIP Units and Restricted Shares by Manager

In connection with the grants of LTIP Units and Restricted Shares described above, on November 2, 2023, the Manager voluntarily forfeited (a) 367,357 of the 405,796 unvested LTIP Units previously awarded to the Manager as an initial staking grant on November 3, 2022 pursuant to the BHM Entities Plan, as described in Item 5 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2022, and (b) (i) 83,995 of the 141,665 unvested LTIP Units and (ii) 31,260 unvested Restricted Shares, in each case previously awarded to the Manager on May 25, 2023 as an annual long-term equity incentive grant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 pursuant to the BHM Entities Plan, as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 25, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2023.

Because this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being filed within four business days from the date of the reportable events, we have elected to make the foregoing disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q instead of in a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 3.02.
