Re: | Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. File No. 333-173048 |
1. | We note your disclosure on the cover page of the prospectus and throughout the registration statement that you will only pay distributions from operating cash flow. Please clarify throughout the document whether this will be net operating cash flow under GAAP or if it means something else. | |
In response to the Staffs comment, we have revised the disclosure on the cover page of the prospectus and elsewhere in the prospectus where applicable to clarify that the operating cash flow from which distributions will be payable will be under GAAP. |
2. | We note your revised disclosure in this section. Please clarify that the .4% of additional underwriting compensation is included in the 1.5% expected total of organization and offering expenses. Further, please explain the purpose of this amount. Please also explain this fee in your disclosure on page 165. | |
In response to the Staffs comment, we have revised the disclosure on page 10 of the prospectus under the caption How will you use the proceeds raised in this offering? and elsewhere in the prospectus as applicable to clarify that the additional underwriting compensation is included in the 1.5% of additional organization and offering expenses |
3. | We note your response to comment 5 of our letter dated August 22, 2011. We note that you revised your disclosure to state that there are no officers of Haley Real Estate Group, LLC (Haley Group). It appears that most of the significant employees of the Haley Group are actually employees of Dial Equities. Please provide more detailed disclosure regarding this relationship. Please advise whether the Haley Group has significant employees and clarify how many employees the Haley Group directly employs. Please explain if the employees of Dial Equities are performing the services that are being provided to you by the Haley Group. If so, please disclose why you have not directly contracted with Dial Equities for sub-advisory services. | |
In response to the Staffs comment, we have revised the disclosure on page 78-79 of the prospectus under the caption Sub-Advisors to add the requested disclosure. |
Sincerely, |
