In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024. **Woodbury, New York February 28, 2025** {6}------------------------------------------------ ### **ASSETS** | Cash and cash equivalents

The Company does not claim an exemption from SEA Rule 1Sc3-3 but instead files an exemption report, in reliance on Footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073, and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. The Company was formed on August 8, 2005, as Sunbelt New England Equities. BR Capital Markets, LLC ( currently the Company's sole Series A and Preferred member) purchased 20 percent of the Company's LLC units on December 23, 2010. BR Capital Markets, LLC purchased the remaining LLC units in 60 percent and 20 percent increments on April S, 2011, and October 21, 2011, respectively. Upon completion of these purchases, the Company's name was changed to Bluerock Capital Markets, LLC. BR Capital Markets, LLC admitted Interval Management, LLC, Interval Management II, LLC, and Interval Management III, LLC as Series B members on December 11, 2019, September 30, 2020, and October 11, 2021, respectively. The Company has three classes of membership interest. Series A Units are held by BR Capital Markets, LLC which has 100% of the voting and control rights; however, 1 % of the economic interest in the Company. Series B Units are held by Interval Management, LLC, Interval Management II, LLC, and Interval Management III, LLC, which have no voting & control rights; however, 99% of economic interest in the Company. Preferred Equity Units are held by BR Capital Markets, LLC which gives preferred position in distribution waterfall. #### SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ARE AS FOLLOWS: #### BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statement on an accrual basis, which is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GMP"). #### CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions in the form of cash deposits and Treasury Bills. Certain deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000. From time to time, the Company has had cash in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits of approximately \$1,974,351. The Company has not incurred any losses in connection with these deposits. The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company does not have any restricted cash as of December 31, 2024. {8}------------------------------------------------ #### **Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies ( continued)** #### ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivables are based on current contracts and stated at estimated net amounts due. The Company considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts are determined to be uncollectible, they are charged to operations at the time of such determination. #### CREDIT LOSSES The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces a credit loss methodology, Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) that requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime "expected credit loss" measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity securities and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine that there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the customer). At December 31, 2024, the Company determined it had no estimated credit loss affecting its financial statement. #### PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods for all assets over their estimated useful lives of five years. #### IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews long-lived assets, including Property and Equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. To date, there have been no such impairment losses. #### MANAGING BROKER DEALER AND MARKETING DUE DILIGENCE FEES AND EXPENSES The Company recognizes managing broker dealer and marketing and due diligence fees on the trade-date as securities transactions occur. The Company acts as principal as it relates to these fees given it is primarily responsible for fulfilling all marketing and due diligence functions related to its offerings. The Company in turn pays a portion of these fees to third party dealers. -----( 4 )----- {9}------------------------------------------------ #### **Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies ( continued)** #### ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. #### INCOME TAXES As a multi-member owned limited liability company, the Company files partnership tax return in all applicable jurisdictions. The Company is not subject to Federal income taxes; however, may be subject to certain state or local income taxes. All items of income, expense, gains, and losses are reportable by the members for tax purposes. The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statement when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024. No accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, or accrued for as of December 31, 2024. Generally, federal, state and local authorities may examine the Company's tax returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, the respective tax returns for the years prior to 2021 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities. #### REVENUE RECOGNITION In accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC Topic 606") revenues from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any. The Company sells securities and beneficial interest in Delaware Statutory Trusts ("DST") products on behalf of related parties. Each time a customer enters into buy transaction and transfers proceeds to related parties, the Company charges Managing broker-dealer & Marketing due diligence ("MBD & MDD'') fees. The Company sells shares of related closed-end registered investment companies C'Funds''). Each time a customer enters into buy transaction and transfers proceeds to the Funds, the Company, via a third-party -----( 5 )----- {10}------------------------------------------------ #### **Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies ( continued)** Distributor receives distribution fees over the length of the investment. The Company advances commissions to third-party Distributors, Inc. for certain share classes of the Funds and subsequently receives reimbursement over 12 months via third-party Distributors. The Company recognizes any reimbursement above the total amount due as commission income. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date. That is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon, and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. For the year-end 2024, the beginning balance of the Company's receivable was \$174,880. The closing balance was \$97,646. #### FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Using that guidance, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value. Using the provisions within FASB ASC 820, the Company has characterized its investments in securities, based on the order of liquidity of the inputs used to value the investments, into a three-levels fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest order of liquidity to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities [Level 1], and the lowest order of liquidity to unobservable inputs [Level 3]. If the inputs used to measure the investments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the investment. The Company's fair value measurements are classified into one of three categories as follows based on the measurement inputs: Level 1. These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market the Company has ability to access. The investments are exchange traded equity and over the counter securities. Level 2. These are investments where values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the investments. These investments would be comprised of less liquid restricted securities and warrants that trade less frequently. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3. These are investments where values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect -----( 6 )----- {11}------------------------------------------------ #### **Note 1 - Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies ( continued)** assumptions of management about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investments. #### ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The FASB issued (ASU) 2023-07, "Segment Reporting" (Topic 280) which increased disclosure requirements regarding a public entity's reportable segments effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. ASU 2023-07 requires incremental line-item disclosures about each reportable segment's expenses as well as profit and losses. The Company has evaluated the guidance there under and has determined that The Company operates as one operating segment. For further discussion refer to Note 10, Reportable Segments. #### **Note 2 - Advanced Commissions** Bluerock Total Income+ Real Estate Fund and Bluerock High Income Institutional Credit Fund, a Delaware Statutory Trust (the "Funds'') are closed-end registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and in the case of certain share classes of the Funds, an investor pays no commission on its purchase, but ALPS Distributors, Inc (the "Distributor") has agreed to pay commissions to the selling broker-dealer pursuant to the Fund's prospectus ('Advanced Commissions"). The Distributor is entitled to receive distribution and shareholder servicing plan fees ("Plan Fees'') for a period of time, and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSCs") as repayment of the Advanced Commissions. The Company reimburses the Distributor for the Advanced Commissions the Distributor pays to the selling broker-dealer, and the Distributor pays the Company the Plan Fees and CDSCs it receives with respect to the applicable shares for the 12-month period succeeding each Advanced Commission payment. The Plan Fees are based on Fund Net Asset Value **("NAV")** and can fluctuate from month to month. The Company has entered into a Wholesale Marketing Agreement which governs the relationship between the Distributor and the Company. The Company carries the balance of Advanced Commissions net of any recoupment related thereto as a component of "Accounts receivable" on the Statement of Financial Condition. The Advance Commissions are payable monthly on an arrearage basis but are not included as a component of Accounts payable and accrued expenses as of the date of the financial statement because the Advanced Commissions do not meet the true definition of a liability as it is the liability of the Distributor, and not the liability of the Company. For the year-ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid total Advanced Commissions of \$182,762 and recouped \$222,327 through Plan Fees. The Company will recoup the \$97,646 outstanding balance in 2025, which is presented as a component of Accounts receivable on the Statement of Financial Condition. -----( 7 )----- {12}------------------------------------------------ #### Note 3 - Net Capital Requirements The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15x3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggresete indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. The Rule also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital rabo would exceed 10 to 1. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$3,249,158, of which \$3,107,853 was In excess of the minimum net capital requirement of \$141,305. The Company's ratho of aggregate Indebtedness to net capital as of December 31, 2024, was 0.65 to 1. #### Note 4 - Related Party Transactions For the year ended December 31, 2024, substantially all of the Company's revenues, were earned from Investors' transactions In various investment funds related to the Company by common control. As of December 31, 2024, the Company is due reimbursable expenses in the amount of \$21,664 from a related entity through common ownership and owes expenses in the amount of \$184,961 to a related entity through common ownership. The Company was allocated expenses from Bluerock Real Estate Holdings, LLC, an entity related by common control, for shared office speces in New York and Michigan, use of personnel, and certain overhead expenses. These transactions are conducted in the normal course of business and are measured at their exchange value, which is the amount established and agreed to by the related parties. The Company's operations and financial position could differ from those that would have been obtained if these entitles were unrelated. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company's preferred member, BR Capital Markets, LLC, made contributions of cash in the amount of \$18,900,000 to the Company. #### Note 5 - Property and Equipment Mator classes of Property and equipment are as follows: | Asset Type | | Amount | Depreciable Life
- Years | |------------------------------|----|----------|-----------------------------| | Computer and equipment | ea | 47,360 | 5 | | Furniture and fixtures | | 42,189 | 5 | | Leasehold imporvements | | 25,174 | 5 | | Computer software | | 24,259 | 5 | | Total Cost | e | 139,582 | | | Accumulated Depreciation | ಕಾ | (97,845) | | | Property and equipment - net | A | 41,737 | | Repairs and maintenance costs are expersed as incurred. All repairs or maintenance that increases the value, capacity, or lives of assets are capitalized and depredated over their estimated useful lives. {13}------------------------------------------------ #### Nota 6 - Income Taxes As of December 31, 2024, the Company had remaining net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, which is available to offset future taxable income of approximately \$7,583,758. The total NOL will not expire and will carry forward Indefinitely. For the year-ended December 31, 2024, the carryforwards resulted in a deferred tax asset of approximately \$303,500, for which the Company has provided a full valuation allowance due to the uncertainty about future realization of this tax benefit. For the year-endled December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance increased by approximately \$129,400 to approximately \$303,500. #### Note 7 - Lonses The Company accounts for leases in accordance to ASC 842 - Leases. The guidance requires the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial condition for most operating leases. Right of use asset represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease llables represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments anish from the lease. Right of use assets and lease llabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate and the limplicit rate is not readly determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the Information available at the measurement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The present value of the lease payments was determined using a 4.49% Incremental borrowing rate. The Company occupies office space at 4100 Newport Place, Suite 650 in Newport Beach, California under a lease agreement through May 31, 2028. | Year Ending | lotal | | | | | |-----------------------------|--------------------|-------------------|--|--|--| | 12/31/2025 | | 111,991 | | | | | 12/31/2026 | 121,841
