INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of Shadeland Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

3 

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses, described in Note 2, of Shadeland Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2016, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statement, which describes that the accompanying combined financial statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and it is not intended to be a complete presentation of Shadeland Portfolio’s combined revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Note 1 – Description of portfolio

Shadeland Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) consists of a group of two fully-constructed industrial properties located in Indianapolis, Indiana with approximately 607,000 square feet of rentable space. Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired the portfolio on August 11, 2017.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses include the operations of the Portfolio and have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented as revenues and certain expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Portfolio, have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income, and amortization of above- and below-market leases. Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the properties that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

Interim Unaudited Information

The statement of revenue and certain expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 is unaudited. In the opinion of the Company, such statement reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of revenue and certain expenses in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X as described above. All such adjustments are of normal recurring nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Portfolio recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset.

PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT INC.

Overview to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been derived from our historical consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 is presented to reflect pro forma adjustments to our historical consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 as if the Company’s acquisition on August 11, 2017 of two (2) industrial properties (the “Shadeland Portfolio”) was completed on June 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 are presented as if the acquisition of the Shadeland Portfolio on August 11, 2017 was completed on the first day of the respective period.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) our historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and (ii) our consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

We have based the unaudited pro forma adjustments on available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what our actual consolidated financial position would have been as of June 30, 2017 assuming our acquisition of the Shadeland Portfolio had been completed on June 30, 2017, and what our actual consolidated results of operations would have been for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 assuming the acquisition of the facilities had been completed on January 1, 2016, and additionally are not indicative of our consolidated future results of operations or financial condition, and should not be viewed as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
