PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation that was formed in March 2011 to invest in a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate properties. The Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. As used herein, the terms "we," "our," and "us" refer to the Company and as required by context, Plymouth Opportunity OP LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as our "operating partnership," and to their subsidiaries. We plan to own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.

The Company intends to operate in a manner that will allow it to be a real estate investment trust, or “REIT”, for federal income tax purposes. The Company utilizes an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of its properties and securities through an operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership").

On March 11, 2011, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock to Plymouth Group Real Estate, LLC (the Sponsor), at a price of $200,000, or $10 per share. As of April 15, 2013 the Company has sold 411,700 shares for gross offering proceeds of $4.063 million.

The Company has retained Plymouth Real Estate Investors, Inc. (the” Advisor”) to serve as its advisor. The Advisor is responsible for managing, operating, directing and supervising the operations and administration of the Company and its assets. The Company has retained Plymouth Real Estate Capital, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), and a member of FINRA, to act as the exclusive Dealer Manager for this offering. The Advisor and the Dealer Manager are affiliates of Plymouth Group Real Estate LLC, the Sponsor of the Company.

Investment Objectives

We intend to primarily acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate assets that are expected to provide consistent current income and may also provide capital appreciation resulting from our expectation that in certain circumstances we will be able to acquire properties at a discount to replacement cost or otherwise less than the anticipated market value or to expend capital to reposition or redevelop a property so as to increase its value over the amount of cash we paid to acquire and rehabilitate the property. In particular, we plan to diversify our portfolio by property type, geographic region, investment size and investment risk with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income producing real estate properties and real estate related assets that provide attractive returns for our investors. Our advisor intends to focus on markets that our advisor determines demonstrate sustainable value and/or growth potential and on those sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. As of December 31, 2012, we had not identified any particular markets or asset types on which we intend to focus, and the exact markets and asset types that will ultimately be targeted by our advisor will depend upon its evaluation of property prices and other economic considerations impacting the particular markets. Our board and our management, including our advisor and its sub-advisor, have extensive experience evaluating and investing, directly or indirectly as a joint venture partner, in numerous types of properties. We intend to primarily acquire, or participate in joint ventures owning, a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, medical office, single-tenant, multifamily, student housing and other real properties, including raw land. These properties are initially expected to be existing, income-producing properties. Additionally, we may invest in newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction. In addition, given the then existing economic conditions and subject to applicable REIT requirements, our investment strategy may also include investments in real estate-related assets such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies; however, we intend to limit these types of investments so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries will meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act. Our investment strategy is designed to provide investors with a diversified portfolio of real estate assets. We expect to make our investments in real estate assets located in the United States. We may enter into one or more joint ventures, tenant-in-common investments or other co-ownership arrangements for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties with third parties or affiliates of our advisor, including future real estate limited partnerships and REITs sponsored by affiliates of our advisor. We also may serve as mortgage lender to, or acquire interests in or securities issued by, these joint ventures or other joint venture arrangements or other future Plymouth sponsored programs.

Our primary investment objectives are:

We believe we will be better able to achieve these objectives than other more seasoned real estate companies because we will begin with no inventory, will purchase properties at current values and will not be burdened with legacy assets. Additionally, we are not asking our stockholders to invest in previously acquired real estate that is not performing as originally expected or overvalued in today’s environment. We will build an entirely new portfolio that meets our investment criteria.

If we do not begin the process of listing our shares on a national securities exchange within seven years of the termination of our primary offering, our charter requires that we:

If a majority of our board of directors (including a majority of the members of the corporate governance committee) determines that liquidation is not then in the best interests of our stockholders, our charter requires that the corporate governance committee revisit the issue of liquidation at least annually. Further postponement of listing or stockholder action regarding liquidation would only be permitted if a majority of our board of directors (including a majority of the members of the corporate governance committee) again determined that liquidation would not be in the best interest of our stockholders. As a result, it is possible our company will continue indefinitely without ever listing its shares on an exchange or liquidating its assets. If we sought and failed to obtain stockholder approval of our liquidation, our charter would not require us to list or liquidate and would not require the corporate governance committee to revisit the issue of liquidation, and we could continue to operate as before. If we sought and obtained stockholder approval of our liquidation, we would begin an orderly sale of our properties and other assets. The precise timing of such sales would take into account the prevailing real estate and financial markets, the economic conditions in the submarkets where our properties are located and the debt markets generally as well as the federal income tax consequences to our stockholders. In the event our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates decides to engage in future programs, we do not anticipate that the investments objectives of those programs will affect the exit strategies of our company; however, engaging in any future programs may require personnel of our advisor or its affiliates to devote a substantial portion of their time to those other programs which could impact our advisor’s ability to implement our ultimate exit strategy in a timely manner. In making the decision to apply for listing of our shares, our directors will try to determine whether listing our shares or liquidating our assets will result in greater value for stockholders.

We cannot assure our stockholders that we will attain our investment objectives or that our capital will not decrease. Pursuant to our advisory agreement, and to the extent permitted by our charter, our advisor will be indemnified for claims relating to any failure to succeed in achieving these objectives.

We may not change the investment objectives and limitations set forth in the charter, except upon approval of stockholders holding a majority of the shares. Our independent directors will review our investment objectives at least annually to determine whether our policies are in the best interests of our stockholders. Each such determination will be set forth in the minutes of our board of directors. See "— Investment Limitations" below.

Decisions relating to the purchase or sale of our investments will be made by Plymouth Real Estate Investors, our advisor, subject to approval of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

Acquisition and Investment Policies

We intend to primarily acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate assets that are expected to provide consistent current income and may also provide capital appreciation resulting from our expectation that in certain circumstances we will be able to acquire properties at a discount to replacement cost or otherwise less than the anticipated market value or to expend capital to reposition or redevelop a property so as to increase its value over the amount of cash we paid to acquire and rehabilitate the property. In particular, we plan to diversify our portfolio by property type, geographic region, investment size and investment risk with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income producing real estate properties and real estate related assets that provide attractive returns for our investors. Our advisor intends to focus on markets that our advisor determines demonstrate sustainable value and/or growth potential and on those sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. The exact markets and asset types that will ultimately be targeted by our advisor will depend upon its evaluation of property prices and other economic considerations impacting specific primary and secondary markets. Our board and management, including our advisor and its sub-advisor, have extensive experience evaluating and investing, directly or indirectly as a joint venture partner, in numerous types of properties. We intend to preliminarily acquire, or participate in joint ventures owning, a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, medical office, single-tenant, multifamily, student housing and other real properties. These properties may be existing, income-producing properties, newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction. In addition, given the then current economic conditions and subject to applicable REIT requirements, our investment strategy may also include investments in real estate-related assets such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and debt securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and equity securities issued by other real estate companies; however, we intend to limit these types of investments so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries will meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"). Prior to acquiring an asset, our advisor will perform an individual analysis of the asset to determine whether it meets our investment criteria, including the probability of sale at an optimum price within our targeted holding period. Our advisor will use the information derived from the analysis in determining whether the asset is an appropriate investment for us.

In the case of real estate-related investments, we may invest in (1) equity securities such as common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible preferred securities of public or private real estate companies such as other REITs and other real estate operating companies, (2) debt securities such as commercial mortgages and debt securities issued by other real estate companies and (3) mezzanine loans and bridge loans. In each case, these real estate-related assets will have been identified as being opportunistic investments with significant possibilities for near-term capital appreciation or higher current income; however, we intend to limit these types of investments so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries will meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act.

We intend to hold each asset we acquire for extended periods of time, generally five to seven years from the termination of our offering. We believe that holding our assets for this period will enable us to capitalize on the potential for increased income and capital appreciation of such assets while also providing for a level of liquidity consistent with our investment strategy and fund life. Though we will evaluate each of our assets for capital appreciation generally within a targeted holding period of five to seven years from the termination of our initial public offering, we may consider investing in properties and other assets with a different holding period in the event such investments provide an opportunity for an attractive return in a shorter time period. Further, economic or market conditions, as well as the REIT rules, may influence us to hold our investments for different periods of time.

In cases where our advisor determines that it is advantageous for us to make investments in which our advisor or its affiliates do not have substantial experience, it is our advisor’s intention to employ persons, engage consultants or partner with third parties that have, in our advisor’s opinion, the relevant expertise necessary to assist our advisor in its consideration, making and administration of such investments. Our advisor has retained Haley Real Estate Group, LLC, an Omaha, Nebraska-based multifamily real estate investment group (the "Haley Group"), and Oxford Capital Group, LLC, a Chicago-based real estate, asset management and investment holding company ("Oxford"), to act as sub-advisors with respect to the identification of potential multifamily, hospitality, leisure and other assets requiring renovation and/or retenanting or loan modification or refinancing.

We may modify our acquisition and investment policies if our shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange. For example, upon listing of our common stock, we may choose to sell more volatile properties and use the proceeds to acquire properties that are more likely to generate a stable return. Other factors may also cause us to modify our acquisition and investment policies.

Investments in Real Property

In executing our investment strategy with respect to investments in real property, we will seek to invest in assets that we believe will retain their value and potentially increase in value for an extended period of time, generally five to seven years. We may also seek to invest in assets that we believe may be repositioned or redeveloped so that they may provide capital appreciation. We may acquire properties with lower tenant quality or low occupancy rates and reposition them by seeking to improve the property, tenant quality and occupancy rates and thereby increase lease revenues and overall property value. Further, we may invest in properties that we believe are an attractive value because all or a portion of the tenant leases expire within a short period after the date of acquisition, and we intend to renew leases or replace existing tenants at the properties for improved returns. We may acquire properties in markets that are depressed or overbuilt with the anticipation that, within our targeted holding period, the markets will recover and favorably impact the value of these properties. We may also acquire properties from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines with the expectation that we can achieve better success with the properties. To the extent feasible, we will invest in a diversified portfolio of properties in terms of geography, type of property and industry of our tenants that will satisfy our investment objectives of preserving our capital and realizing capital appreciation upon the ultimate sale of our properties. In making investment decisions for us, our advisor will consider relevant real estate property and financial factors, including the location of the property, its suitability for any development contemplated or in progress, its income-producing capacity, the prospects for long-range appreciation and its liquidity and income tax considerations.

Except with respect to unimproved or non-incoming producing property, we are not limited in the number or size of properties we may acquire or the percentage of net proceeds of our public offering that we may invest in a single property. The number and mix of properties we acquire will depend upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we acquire our properties and the amount of proceeds we raise in our public offering. We will not invest more than 10% of our total assets in unimproved properties or in mortgage loans secured by such properties. We will consider a property to be an unimproved property if it was not acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating income, has no development or construction in process at the time of acquisition and no development or construction is planned to commence within one year of the acquisition.

Our investment in real estate generally will take the form of holding fee title or a long-term leasehold estate. We will acquire such interests either directly through Plymouth Opportunity OP, our operating partnership, or indirectly through limited liability companies or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with third parties, including developers of the properties, or with affiliates of our advisor. See "— Joint Venture Investments" below. In addition, we may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. Although we will use our best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction so that the lease will be characterized as a "true lease" and we will be treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes, we cannot assure our stockholders that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale-leaseback transaction is recharacterized as a financing transaction for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed.

Successful commercial real estate investment requires the implementation of strategies that permit favorable purchases, effective asset and property management for enhanced current returns and maintenance of higher relative property values and timely disposition for attractive capital appreciation. Using our investment strategies, including individual market monitoring and ongoing analysis of macro- and micro-regional economic cycles, we expect to be better able to identify favorable acquisition targets, increase current returns and current distributions to investors, maintain higher relative portfolio property values, conduct appropriate development or redevelopment activities and execute timely dispositions at appropriate sales prices to enhance capital gains distributable to our stockholders.

Our advisor will perform a due diligence review on each property that we acquire. Our obligation to purchase any property will be conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where applicable:

In cases where the seller does not have some of these documents, for example zoning compliance reports, or where the seller is not willing to provide the information, for example appraisals, we will prepare the documents prior to acquiring the property. In other cases where the documents may have been lost, for example plans and specifications, we will assess the risks associated with acquiring the property without the missing documents prior to making the acquisition. In addition, all of our property acquisitions which are acquired using new debt financing will be supported by an appraisal prepared by a competent independent appraiser who is a member in good standing of the Appraisal Institute. We would not require a new appraisal prior to acquisition if we were to acquire a property using no financing or through the assumption of existing financing. In that case, we determine value based upon our review of the seller’s historical financial information, the physical condition of the property and the market and sub-market in which the property is located.

We will not purchase any property unless and until we obtain what is generally referred to as a "Phase I" environmental site assessment and are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment basically consists of a visual survey of the building and the property in an attempt to identify areas of potential environmental concerns, visually observing neighboring properties to assess surface conditions or activities that may have an adverse environmental impact on the property, and contacting local governmental agency personnel and performing a regulatory agency file search in an attempt to determine any known environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment does not generally include any sampling or testing of soil, groundwater or building materials from the property. In those cases where the Phase I environmental report recommends a Phase II study, we will obtain a Phase II environmental report prior to acquiring the applicable property.

Generally, sellers engage and pay third party brokers or finders in connection with the sale of an asset. However, we may from time to time compensate third party brokers or finders in connection with our acquisitions, although we do not expect to on a regular basis.

The purchase price that we will pay for any property generally will be based on the fair market value of the property as determined by a majority of our directors. In the cases where a majority of our independent directors requires and in all cases in which the transaction is with any of our directors or our advisor or its affiliates, we will obtain an appraisal of fair market value by an independent expert selected by our independent directors. Regardless, we will generally obtain an independent appraisal for each property in which we invest. However, we will rely on our own independent analysis and not on appraisals in determining whether to invest in a particular property. Appraisals are estimates of value and should not be relied upon as measures of true worth or realizable value.

We may enter into arrangements with the seller or developer of a property whereby the seller or developer agrees that, if during a stated period the property does not generate a specified cash flow, the seller or developer will pay in cash to us a sum necessary to reach the specified cash flow level, subject in some cases to negotiated dollar limitations. In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may, in accordance with customary practices, obtain an option on such property. The amount paid for an option, if any, is normally surrendered if the property is not purchased and is normally credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased. In purchasing, leasing and developing properties, we will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate.

Investing in and Originating Loans

We may, from time to time, make or invest in mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans and other loans relating to real property, including loans in connection with the acquisition of investments in entities that own real property; however, we intend to limit these types of investments so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries will meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act. Our criteria for investing in loans will be substantially the same as those involved in our investment in properties; however, we will also evaluate such investments based on the current income opportunities presented. Mortgage loans in which we may invest include first, second and third mortgage loans, wraparound mortgage loans, construction mortgage loans on real property and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. We may also invest in participations in mortgage loans. Further, we may invest in unsecured loans or loans secured by assets other than real estate.

The mezzanine loans in which we may invest will generally take the form of subordinated loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of an entity that directly or indirectly owns real property. Such loans may also take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on real property. We may hold senior or junior positions in mezzanine loans, such senior or junior position denoting the particular leverage strip that may apply.

Second and wraparound mortgage loans are secured by second or wraparound deeds of trust on real property that is already subject to prior mortgage indebtedness, in an amount that, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed 75% of the appraised value of the mortgage property. A wraparound loan is one or more junior mortgage loans having a principal amount equal to the outstanding balance under the existing mortgage loan, plus the amount actually to be advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan. Under a wraparound loan, we would generally make principal and interest payments on behalf of the borrower to the holders of the prior mortgage loans. Third mortgage loans are secured by third deeds of trust on real property that is already subject to prior first and second mortgage indebtedness, in an amount that, when added to the existing indebtedness, does not generally exceed 75% of the appraised value of the mortgage property.

Construction loans are loans made for either original development or renovation of property. Construction loans in which we would generally consider an investment would be secured by first deeds of trust on real property for terms of six months to two years. In addition, if the mortgage property is being developed, the amount of the construction loan generally will not exceed 75% of the post-development appraised value. Loans on leasehold interests are secured by an assignment of the borrower’s leasehold interest in the particular real property. These loans are generally for terms of from six months to 15 years. Leasehold interest loans generally do not exceed 75% of the value of the leasehold interest and require guaranties of the borrowers. The leasehold interest loans are either amortized over a period that is shorter than the lease term or have a maturity date prior to the date the lease terminates. These loans would generally permit us to cure any default under the lease. Mortgage participation investments are investments in partial interests of mortgages of the type described above that are made and administered by third-party mortgage lenders.

We will not make or invest in mortgage loans unless we obtain an appraisal concerning the underlying property from a certified independent appraiser except for mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases where our independent directors determine, and in all cases in which the transaction is with any of our directors or our advisor or its affiliates, such appraisal shall be obtained from an independent appraiser. We will maintain each appraisal in our records for at least five years and will make it available during normal business hours for inspection and duplication by any stockholder at such stockholder’s expense. In addition to the appraisal, we will seek to obtain a customary lender’s title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition of the title. We will not make unsecured loans or loans not secured by mortgages unless such loans are approved by a majority of our independent directors.

We will not make or invest in mortgage loans on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including our borrowings, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of the property, as determined by an independent appraisal, unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria, as determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. Our board of directors may find such justification in connection with the purchase of mortgage loans in cases in which we believe there is a high probability of our foreclosure upon the property in order to acquire the underlying assets and in which the cost of the mortgage loan investment does not exceed the appraised value of the underlying property.

In evaluating prospective loan investments, our advisor will consider factors such as the following:

We may originate loans from mortgage brokers or personal solicitations of suitable borrowers, or may purchase existing loans that were originated by other lenders. Our advisor will evaluate all potential loan investments to determine if the term of the loan, the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio meets our investment criteria and objectives. Our advisor will arrange for an inspection of the property securing the loan, if any, during the loan approval process. We do not expect to make or invest in mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans with a maturity of more than ten years from the date of our investment, and anticipate that most loans will have a term of five years or less. Most loans that we will consider for investment would provide for monthly payments of interest and some may also provide for principal amortization, although many loans of the nature that we will consider provide for payments of interest only and a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term.

Our loan investments may be subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities and subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions, as well as the laws and regulations of foreign jurisdictions, imposing various requirements and restrictions, including, among other things, regulating credit-granting activities, establishing maximum interest rates and finance charges, requiring disclosures to customers, governing secured transactions and setting collection, repossession and claims-handling procedures and other trade practices. In addition, certain states have enacted legislation requiring the licensing of mortgage bankers or other lenders and these requirements may affect our ability to effectuate our proposed investments in mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans. Commencement of operations in these or other jurisdictions may be dependent upon a finding of our financial responsibility, character and fitness. We may determine not to make mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans in any jurisdiction in which the regulatory authority believes that we have not complied in all material respects with applicable requirements.

We do not have any policies directing the portion of our assets that may be invested in construction loans, loans secured by leasehold interests and second, third and wraparound mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans. However, we recognize that these types of loans are riskier than first deeds of trust or first priority mortgages on income-producing, fee-simple properties and will take that fact into account when determining the rate of interest on the loans.

We are not limited as to the amount of gross offering proceeds that we may apply to our loan investments. We also do not have any policy that limits the amount that we may invest in any single loan or the amount we may invest in loans to any one borrower. Pursuant to our advisory management agreement, our advisor will be responsible for servicing and administering any mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans in which we invest.

Investment in Other Real Estate-Related Securities

We may invest in common and preferred real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies. Real estate-related equity securities are generally unsecured and also may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Our investments in real estate-related equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. We may purchase real estate-related securities denominated in foreign currencies or securities of issuers that make investments in real estate located outside the United States. We may acquire real estate-related securities through tender offers, negotiated or otherwise, in which we solicit a target company’s stockholders to purchase their securities.

Development and Construction of Properties

We may invest substantial proceeds from our public offering in properties on which improvements are to be constructed or completed, provided that we will not invest more than 10% of our total assets in unimproved properties or in mortgage loans secured by such properties. We will consider a property to be an unimproved property if it was not acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating income, has no development or construction in process at the time of acquisition and no development or construction is planned to commence within one year of the acquisition.

To help ensure performance by the builders of properties that are under construction, completion of such properties will be guaranteed at the contracted price by a completion bond or performance bond. Our advisor will enter into contracts on our behalf with contractors or developers for such construction services on terms and conditions approved by our board of directors. If we contract with an affiliate of our advisor for such services, we also will obtain the approval of a majority of our independent directors that the contract is fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Our advisor may rely upon the substantial net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee accompanied by financial statements showing a substantial net worth provided by an affiliate of the person entering into the construction or development contract as an alternative to a completion bond or performance bond. Development of real estate properties is subject to risks relating to a builder’s ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables.

In the future, our advisor, or sponsor may create or acquire a company that will act as a developer for all or some of the properties that we acquire for development or redevelopment. In those cases, we will pay development fees to that affiliate that are usual and customary for similar projects in the particular market if a majority of our independent directors determines that such development fees are fair and reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

We may make periodic progress payments or other cash advances to developers and builders of our properties prior to completion of construction only upon receipt of an architect’s certification as to the percentage of the project then completed and as to the dollar amount of the construction then completed. We intend to use such additional controls on disbursements to builders and developers as we deem necessary or prudent.

We may directly employ one or more project managers, including an officer of our advisor, to plan, supervise and implement the development of any unimproved properties that we may acquire. These persons would be compensated directly by us or through an affiliate of our advisor.

Multifamily Properties

We may acquire and develop multifamily properties for rental operations as apartment buildings and/or for conversion into condominiums (which we would expect to hold in one or more of our TRSs). In each case, these multifamily communities will meet our investment objectives and may include conventional multifamily properties, such as mid-rise, high-rise, and garden-style properties, as well as student housing and age-restricted properties (typically requiring at least one resident of each unit to be 55 or older). Initially, we expect to acquire multifamily assets that are existing properties producing consistent current income; additionally, we may acquire properties that may benefit from enhancement or repositioning and development assets. We may purchase any type of residential property, including properties that require capital improvement or lease-up to enhance stockholder returns. Location, condition, design and amenities are key characteristics for apartment communities and condominiums. We will focus on markets throughout the United States that have stable population and employment demographics or that are deemed likely to benefit from ongoing population shifts and/or that are poised for growth. We will create individual business plans to bring investment capital, operational expertise, industry "best practices" and technological initiatives to each property that, when implemented and executed effectively, will add value to each community.

We expect that a majority of our leases will be standardized leases customarily used between landlords and residents for the specific type and use of the property in the geographic area where the property is located. In the case of apartment communities, such standardized leases generally have terms of one year or less. All prospective residents for our apartment communities will be required to submit a credit application.

Hospitality

We may also acquire hospitality properties that meet our opportunistic investment strategy. Such investments may include limited-service, extended-stay and full-service lodging facilities as well as all-inclusive resorts. We may acquire existing hospitality properties or properties under construction and development. We initially expect to acquire existing, income-producing hospitality properties; additionally, we may acquire properties with growth potential achievable through various strategies, such as brand repositioning, market-based recovery or improved management practices. If we acquire lodging properties, we may lease the property to a TRS in which we will own a 100% ownership interest or may lease the property to an independent property manager.

In the hospitality, senior living and other real estate assets requiring renovation and/or retenanting or loan modification or refinancing our advisor’s sub-advisor, Oxford, will concentrate on all of the requisite areas for successful investing including: originating acquisitions (often through proprietary channels), capital raising, investment and financial structuring, underwriting, due diligence, redevelopment, development and construction management, asset management, investment management, investor reporting, property operations, accounting, purchasing and procurement, interior design and project management and dispositions.

Joint Venture Investments

We are likely to enter into joint ventures, partnerships, tenant-in-common investments or other co-ownership arrangements with third parties as well as entities affiliated with our advisor, including the sub-advisors to our advisor, for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties for the purpose of diversifying our portfolio of assets. We may also enter into joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with real estate developers, owners and other third parties for the purpose of developing, owning and operating real properties. A joint venture creates an alignment of interest with a private source of capital for the benefit of our stockholders, by leveraging our acquisition, development and management expertise in order to achieve the following four primary objectives: (1) increase the return on invested capital; (2) diversify our access to equity capital; (3) "leverage" invested capital to promote our brand and increase market share; and (4) obtain the participation of sophisticated partners in our real estate decisions. We may only invest in joint ventures if a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, approve the transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, our advisor will evaluate the real property that such joint venture owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria described elsewhere in this Form 10-K for our selection of real property investments.

We intend to enter into joint ventures with affiliates of our sponsor or our advisor or with other future Plymouth-sponsored programs. However, we may only do so if a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by other joint ventures.

In the event that the co-venture elects to sell property held in any such joint venture, however, we may not have sufficient funds to exercise any right of first refusal that we may have. In the event that any joint venture with an entity affiliated with our advisor holds interests in more than one property, the interest in each such property may be specially allocated based upon the respective proportion of funds invested by each co-venture in each such property. Entering into joint ventures with other future Plymouth-sponsored programs will result in certain conflicts of interest.

Competition

We believe that the current market for properties that meet our investment objectives is extremely competitive and many of our competitors have greater resources than we do. We believe that our multifamily communities are suitable for their intended purposes and adequately covered by insurance. There are a number of comparable properties located in the same submarkets that might compete with them. We compete with numerous other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, banks and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs, real estate limited partnerships, the U.S. Government and other entities, to acquire, manage and sell real estate properties and real estate related assets. Many of our expected competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase.

Compliance with Federal, State and Local Environmental Law

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective tenants that may be impacted by such laws. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by government agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying person injury claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. All of our properties are subject to Phase I environmental assessments at the time they are acquired.

Employees

We have no paid employees. The employees of our Advisor or its affiliates provide management, acquisition, advisory and certain administrative services for us. We are dependent on our Advisor and our dealer manager for certain services that are essential to us, including the sale of our shares in our ongoing initial public offering; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of properties and other investments; management of the daily operations of our portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these affiliated companies are unable to provide the respective services, we will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Access to Company Information

We electronically file our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Access to those reports and other filings with the SEC may be obtained, free of charge from our website, www.plymouthreit.com or through the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. These reports are available as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed or furnished to the SEC.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors have been omitted as permitted under rules applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2012, we indirectly own, through our operating partnership, equity interests in two entities, one of which owns a multifamily property and the other owns three industrial buildings.

_________

The Company funded the purchase price of these investments with proceeds from its Initial Public Offering.

The Company performed an analysis to determine whether or not these entities represent variable interest entities (VIEs), and if the Company is the primary beneficiary (PB) of the VIEs.

The Company concluded that CHCR II is a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the PB of the VIE as the Company does not have the ability to make decisions over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of CHCR II. The Company accounts for the CHCR II investment as an equity method investment.

The Company has concluded that TCG Cincinnati DRE LP is not a VIE. The Company does not have control over the entity and accounts for the investment as an equity method investment.

The Company accounts for these investments through equity method accounting, has significant influence over the entities and has recorded $93,042 of a loss for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business we are periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to our business. In management’s opinion, the resolution of these legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

There are no legal proceedings at this time.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Stockholder Information

As of April 15, 2013, we had 413,006 shares of common stock outstanding held by a total of 137 stockholders. The number of stockholders is based on the records of ACS Securities Services, which serves as our transfer agent.

Market Information

No public market currently exists for our shares of common stock, and we currently have no plans to list our shares on a national securities exchange. Until our shares are listed, if ever, our stockholders may not sell their shares unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase requirements. In addition, our charter prohibits the ownership of more than 9.8% of our stock, unless exempted by our board of directors. Consequently, there is the risk that our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at a time or price acceptable to them.

To assist the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") members and their associated persons that participate in our initial public offering of common stock, pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110, we disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of our shares, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. For this purpose, Plymouth Real Estate Investors, our advisor, estimated the value of our shares of common stock as $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2012. The basis for this valuation is the fact that the current public offering price of our shares of common stock in our primary public offering is $10.00 per share (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers). Our advisor has indicated that it intends to use the most recent price paid to acquire a share in our initial public offering (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers) as it’s estimated per share value of our shares until we have completed our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer publicly offering equity securities and have not done so for up to 18 months. We currently expect to update the estimated value per share every 12 to 18 months thereafter. For purposes of determining when our offering stage is complete, we do not consider a "public equity offering" to include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our operating partnership.

Although the initial estimated value represents the price at which most investors will purchase shares in our primary offering, this reported value will likely differ from the price at which a stockholder could resell his or her shares because (1) there is no public trading market for the shares at this time; (2) the estimated value does not reflect, and is not derived from, the fair market value of our assets, nor will it represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate liquidation of our assets, because the amount of proceeds available for investment from our primary public offering will be net of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, other organization and offering costs and acquisition and origination fees and expenses; (3) the estimated value does not take into account how market fluctuations will affect the value of our investments, including how the current disruptions in the financial and real estate markets may affect the values of our investments; and (4) the estimated value does not take into account how developments related to individual assets increase or decrease the value of our portfolio.

Distribution Information

Our Board of Directors declared two stock distributions of 0.015 shares each of our common stock, or 1.5% per distribution of each outstanding share of common stock, to our stockholders of record at the close of business on September 28, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and was paid on October 15, 2012 and January 15, 2013, respectively.

We have not paid or declared any cash distributions as of April 15, 2013. It is unlikely at this time, based largely on the composition of our current investment portfolio and the acquisition opportunities that we currently see in the market, that we will declare any cash distributions during 2013. Once we begin making cash distributions, we intend to pay cash distributions on a quarterly basis based on daily record dates. We may also make special stock distributions, as described further below.

It is our intention to elect to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our common stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our Board of Directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities and Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On November 1, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-173048), covering a public offering of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering and 15,000,000 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. We commenced our initial public offering on November 1, 2011 upon retaining Plymouth Real Estate Capital, an affiliate of our advisor, as the dealer manager of our offering. We are offering 50,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The 15,000,000 shares offered under our dividend reinvestment plan are initially being offered at an aggregate offering price of $142.5 million, or $9.50 per share. We expect to sell the shares registered in our primary offering over a two-year period. If we have not sold all of the shares within two years, we may continue this offering until November 1, 2014. We may sell shares under the dividend reinvestment plan beyond the termination of the primary offering until we have sold all the shares under the plan.

As of December 31, 2012, we had sold 351,500 shares of our common stock pursuant to our initial public offering which generated gross offering proceeds of approximately $3.461 million.

From the commencement of the public offering through December 31, 2012, we incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs in the amounts set forth below. We pay selling commissions and dealer manager fees to our affiliated advisor, Plymouth Real Estate Capital.

Through December 31, 2012, the Sponsor has incurred approximately $2,338,996 of costs on behalf of the Company, of which $766,793 of organizational costs and $1,165,899 of general & administrative costs have been paid by the Sponsor. Through December 31, 2012 the Company has repaid $1,065,000 to the Sponsor and will continue to reimburse as cash flow permits. Simultaneous with selling common shares, offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital upon completion of the offering or to expenses if the offerings are not completed. Organizational costs will be expensed as they are reimbursed to the Sponsor.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments. We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repurchase of shares under our share redemption program, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs related to our investments in real estate properties; reserves required by any financings of our investments in real estate properties; funding obligations under any of our real estate loans receivable; investments in real estate properties and real estate-related assets and the repayment of debt.

In connection with our organization, on March 11, 2011, we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock to Plymouth Group Real Estate at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. We issued these shares in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Share Redemption Program

We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable future stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.

Pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended to date, there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:

Under the program, we will initially redeem shares as follows:

Notwithstanding the above, the redemption price for redemptions sought upon a stockholder's death, "qualifying disability" or "determination of incompetence" will initially be the amount paid to acquire the shares from us. Furthermore, once we establish an estimated value per share of our common stock, the redemption price per share for all stockholders will be equal to the estimated value per share, as determined by our advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. We currently expect to establish an estimated value per share after the completion of our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer publicly offering equity securities and have not done so for up to 18 months. We currently expect to update the estimated value per share every 12 to 18 months thereafter and will report such estimated values to our stockholders in our annual report, our quarterly reports, or in a current report on Form 8-K, as appropriate. We will also provide information about our estimated value per share on our web site (such information may be provided by means of a link to our public filings on the SEC's web site, http://www.sec.gov). "Public equity offering" for this purpose does not include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in the Operating Partnership.

At the sole discretion of the REIT, we may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon 30 days' notice to our stockholders. We may provide this notice by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.

As of December 31, 2012, we had not redeemed any shares under our share redemption program because no shares were eligible for redemption. We did not issue any shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the year ended December 31, 2012, and accordingly, we have no funds available for redemption under the share redemption program in 2012.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Selected financial data have been omitted as permitted under rules applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 7. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document. For a more detailed description of the risks affecting our financial condition and results of operations, see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation and intend to qualify as a REIT beginning with the taxable year December 31, 2012. On March 24, 2011, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares of our common stock and a maximum 65,000,000 shares for sale to the public, of which 50,000,000 were registered in our primary offering and 15,000,000 were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared our registration statement effective on November 1, 2011, and we retained Plymouth Real Estate Capital, an affiliate of our advisor, to act as the dealer manager of the offering. The dealer manager is responsible for marketing our shares in our ongoing initial public offering.

We intend to use substantially all of the proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate assets that are expected to provide consistent current income and may also provide capital appreciation resulting from our expectation that in certain circumstances we will be able to acquire properties at a discount to replacement cost or otherwise less than the anticipated market value or to expend capital to reposition or redevelop a property so as to increase its value over the amount of cash we paid to acquire and rehabilitate the property. In particular, we plan to diversify our portfolio by property type, geographic region, investment size and investment risk with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income producing real estate properties and real estate related assets that provide attractive returns for our stockholders. We intend to primarily acquire, or participate in joint ventures owning, a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, medical office, single-tenant, multifamily, student housing and other real properties, including raw land. These properties are initially expected to be existing, income-producing properties; additionally, we may invest in newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction. In addition, given the then existing economic conditions and subject to applicable REIT requirements, our investment strategy may also include investments in real estate-related assets such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies; however, we intend to limit these types of investments so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries will meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act. We expect to make our investments in real estate assets located in the United States. Our investment strategy is designed to provide our stockholders with a diversified portfolio of real estate assets.

As of December 31, 2012, we have made two equity investments through our operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP LP (“OP”). The first was in Wynthrope Forest, a 270-unit, 23-building multifamily community in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The second was in TCG Cincinnati DRE LP a three-building industrial portfolio totaling approximately 576,751 square feet in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Plymouth Real Estate Investors is our advisor. As our advisor, Plymouth Real Estate Investors will manage our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate properties and real estate-related assets. Plymouth Real Estate Investors makes recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. All proposed investments must be approved by at least a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the members of the corporate governance committee, not otherwise interested in the transaction. Plymouth Real Estate Investors will also provide asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf.

We intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. If we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash available for distribution. However, we believe that we will be organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2012, and we intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes thereafter.

Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets

The following discussion is based on management’s beliefs, observations and expectations with respect to the real estate and real estate finance markets.

During the past four years, the global financial markets experienced increased volatility due to the widespread concerns about credit risk and the functioning of the capital markets. Economies throughout the world have experienced substantially increased unemployment and sagging consumer confidence due to a downturn in economic activity. Despite certain recent positive economic indicators such as an improved stock market performance, an improved unemployment rate and improved access to capital for some companies, the aforementioned economic conditions have sustained the ongoing global recession. Global government interventions in the banking system and the persistence of a highly expansionary monetary policy by the U.S. Treasury have introduced additional complexity and uncertainty to the markets. Additionally, despite some positive economic indicators, a lack of job creation, low consumer confidence and a growing federal budget deficit continue to stifle strong economic growth. During 2011, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the credit rating of the United States from AAA to AA+, and recently, Moody’s downgraded several key European countries and put the United Kingdom and France on negative watch. These events have led to increased volatility in the capital markets. These conditions are expected to continue, and, combined with a challenging macro-economic environment, may interfere with the implementation of our business strategy and/or force us to modify it.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company incurred a net loss of $2,166,678 for the year ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $174,442 to fund accrued expenses, and had no other debt outstanding, and no commitment to fund additional capital under its existing joint venture agreements.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its needs in a timely manner, the Company may be required to further reduce expenses and suspend or discontinue operations. To mitigate this risk, during April 2013, the Company entered into agreements with certain of its vendors to limit future expenses related to certain professional services and entered into agreements with its independent directors for all compensation through December 31, 2013 and amounts accrued as of December 31, 2012 to be paid in the form of stock. In addition, on April 12, 2013, the Company received a $200,000 loan from the Sponsor, a related party. The loan agreement requires that the principal balance, which carries a zero percent interest rate, be repaid on December 31, 2014.

If the Company is unable to raise additional equity, it would result in the inability to acquire real estate assets or participate in joint ventures. Management is committed to continue its current efforts to raise capital and pursue real estate transactions to continue to make the Company a viable business. The Company is also committed to making the appropriate filings under applicable securities laws to extend the offering period from November 1, 2013 to November 2014.

We derive the capital required to purchase and originate real estate-related investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our offering from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations.

Through December 31, 2012, the Sponsor has incurred approximately $2,338,996 of costs on behalf of the Company, of which $766,793 of organizational costs and $1,165,899 of general and administrative costs have been paid by the Sponsor. Through December 31, 2012 the Company has repaid $1,065,000 to the Sponsor and will continue to reimburse as cash flow permits. Simultaneous with selling common shares, offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital upon completion of the offering or to expenses if the offerings are not completed. Organizational costs will be expensed as they are reimbursed to the Sponsor.

We are offering and selling to the public up to 50 million shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share (subject to certain volume discounts). We are also offering up to 15 million shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which our stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock at $9.50 per share.

As of the date this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on April 15, 2013, we have made two equity investments through our operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP LP (“OP”). The first was in Wynthrope Forest, a 270-unit, 23-building multifamily community in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The second was in TCG Cincinnati DRE LP a three-building industrial portfolio totaling approximately 576,751 square feet in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Our cash needs for these acquisitions were met with the proceeds of the Offering. Operating cash needs during the same period were also met with proceeds from the Offering.

Proceeds from the Offering will continue to be applied to investments in properties and the payment or reimbursement of selling commissions and other fees and expenses related to our offering. We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as we receive additional subscriptions for shares and a relative decrease in liquidity as we spend net offering proceeds in connection with the acquisition and operation of our properties or the payment of distributions.

The number of properties and other assets that we will acquire will depend upon the number of shares sold and the resulting amount of the net proceeds available for investment in properties and other assets. Until required for the acquisition or operation of assets or use for distributions, we will keep the net proceeds of our offering in short-term, low-risk, highly liquid, interest-bearing investments.

We intend to make reserve allocations as necessary to aid our objective of preserving capital for our investors by supporting the maintenance and viability of properties we acquire in the future. If reserves and any other available income become insufficient to cover our operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary to obtain additional funds by borrowing, refinancing properties or liquidating our investment in one or more properties. There is no assurance that such funds will be available, or if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us.

Our principal demands for cash will be for acquisition costs, including the purchase price of the assets we acquire, improvement costs, the payment of our operating and administrative expenses, and distributions to our stockholders. Generally, we will fund our acquisitions from the net proceeds of our offering. We intend to acquire our assets with cash and mortgage or other debt, but we also may acquire assets free and clear of permanent mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price for the asset in cash or in units issued by our operating partnership.

As of April 15, 2013, we had gross offering proceeds of approximately $4.063 million, which satisfied our minimum offering amounts in all states except, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. If we are unable to raise substantially more funds in the Offering than the minimum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions. We do not expect to establish a permanent reserve from our offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs of real properties, as we expect the vast majority of leases for the properties we acquire will provide for tenant reimbursement of operating expenses. However, to the extent that we have insufficient funds for such purposes, we may establish reserves from gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow from operations or net cash proceeds from the sale of properties.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Advisor and Dealer Manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments to the Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the Dealer Manager fee and payments to the Dealer Manager and our Advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. However, our Advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, the Dealer Manager fee and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our Advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our Advisor in providing services to us. The advisory agreement has a one-year term but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of Plymouth Real Estate Investors and our corporate governance committee.

The Company intends to operate in a manner that will allow it to be a real estate investment trust, or “REIT”, for federal income tax purposes. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare distributions based on daily record dates and pay distributions on a quarterly basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations as of December 31, 2012 are not indicative of those expected in future periods because we broke escrow in the Offering on July 26, 2012 and commenced operations on August 17, 2012 with our first investment. During the period from inception (March 7, 2011) to June 30, 2012 we had been formed but had not yet commenced any significant operations because we had not broken escrow. As a result, we had no material results of operations for that period.

As of December 31, 2012, we had made our initial investments in Colony Hills Capital Residential 2 and TCG Cincinnati DRE LP. We funded these acquisitions with proceeds from the Offering. Cash flow from real estate and interests in real estate will increase in future periods as we continue to receive distributions on these two investments and as a result of anticipated future acquisition of real estate and real estate related assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company has recognized $(106,159) and $13,117 of income from the investments in Colony Hills Capital Residential 2 and TCG Cincinnati DRE LP, respectively.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $2,073,841. These expenses consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses, legal and professional fees. We expect that these costs will increase in the future as a result of real estate and real estate related assets that we expect to acquire in the future.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we have net (loss) income of $(2,166,678) and $1,070, respectively, due primarily to legal, professional, filing and printing costs incurred in connection with the commencement of our operations.

Organization and Offering Costs

Our organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) may be paid by our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates on our behalf. Other offering costs include all costs to be incurred by us in connection with our ongoing initial public offering. Organization costs include all expenses incurred by us in connection with our formation, including, but not limited to, legal fees and other costs to incorporate. Organization costs are expensed as incurred and offering costs, which include selling commissions and dealer manager fees, are charged as incurred as a reduction to stockholders' equity.

Pursuant to our advisory agreement and our dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on our behalf. However, at the termination of our primary offering and at the termination of the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds of the respective offering. In addition, at the end of the primary offering and again at the end of the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that organization and offering expenses, excluding underwriting compensation (which includes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and any other items viewed as underwriting compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), exceed 2% of the gross proceeds we raised in the respective offering. We reimburse the dealer manager for underwriting compensation as discussed in the prospectus for our ongoing initial public offering. We also pay directly or reimburse the dealer manager for bona fide invoiced due diligence expenses of broker dealers. However, no reimbursements made by us to our advisor or the dealer manager may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by us (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees and all other items of organization and offering expenses) to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from our primary offering and the offering under our distribution reinvestment plan at the date of reimbursement. Through December 31, 2012, we had sold 351,500 shares in the offering for gross offerings proceeds of $3.461 million and incurred selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $108,900 and other offering costs of $379,100 .

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe our most critical accounting policies are the accounting for lease revenues, the regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations and accounting for joint ventures. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. We rely on our experience, we collect historical data and current market data, and we analyze these assumptions in order to arrive at what we believe to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes significant estimates regarding impairments. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less such as money market mutual funds or certificates of deposits. As of December 31, 2012, we have not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Investments in REIT Securities

Management determines the classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Company has the ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity. Investment securities held-to-maturity are stated at amortized cost. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time, but not necessarily to be held-to-maturity or on a long-term basis, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. The carrying values of all securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the shorter of the period to call or maturity of the related security using a method that approximates the interest method. Management may also carry securities as trading securities, with changes in fair value being reflected in the income statement during the period the change occurs.

Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities, if any, are determined using the amortized cost of the specific securities sold. If a decline in the fair value of a security below its amortized cost is judged by management to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included in operations. 

Income Taxes

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intend to operate as such beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012. We expect to have little or no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless we are able to obtain relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2011  the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing’s (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. ASU 2011-03 changes the assessment of effective control by focusing on the transferor’s contractual rights and obligations and removing the criterion to assess the ability to exercise those rights or honor those obligations. ASU 2011-03 is effective for the interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In May 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 establishes common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 amends topic 820 by clarifying the intent of the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update also change the fair value measurement of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio subject to market risks and the credit risk of counterparties, the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and require additional fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2011-04 will be applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 gives two options for presenting other comprehensive income (“OCI”). An OCI statement can be included with the net income statement, which together will make a statement of total comprehensive income. Alternatively an OCI statement may be presented separately from a net income statement, but the two statements must appear consecutively within a financial report. Currently, ASU 2011-05 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In October 2011, the FASB announced that it is considering deferring certain provisions in ASU 2011-05 related to the presentation and reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position as it only impacts required disclosures. The Company did not have other comprehensive income or losses during the period January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 or March 7, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may  be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief accounting officer (“CAO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13A-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including its CEO and CAO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure and controls procedures as of December 31, 2012, and because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in our accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, our CEO and CAO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting. In connection with our audit of the Company, we did not note any deficiencies that we consider to be significant deficiencies in internal control.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, including our CEO and CAO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-An Integrated Framework.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with this assessment, we identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012; our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

The Company did not maintain an effective financial reporting and closing process to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Controls over significant transactions, effective period end cut-off controls, and financial statement disclosure controls were missing or ineffective. This material weakness resulted in misstatements in various accounts in the consolidated financial statements including common stock, additional paid in capital, directors’ fees expense, asset management fee expense and general and administrative expenses that were corrected prior to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

As discussed above in item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we reported a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 12b 2of the Exchange Act).

In the fourth quarter of 2012 we began a search to engage a financial accounting specialist. This firm will assist with the financial reporting process and provide the expertise necessary to present all information accurately and in a timely manner and provide consulting services on an as needed basis

Management in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our audit committee, has identified the above-mentioned measures to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and to address the material weakness described above. We expect these remedial actions to be effectively implemented during the year ended December 31, 2013.

If the remedial measures described above are insufficient to address any of the identified material weaknesses or are not implemented effectively, or additional deficiencies arise in the future, material misstatements in our interim or annual financial statements may occur in the future. Among other things, any unremediated material weaknesses could result in material post-closing adjustments in future financial statements.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has established an audit committee that consists solely of independent directors. The audit committee assists the board in overseeing (i) our accounting and financial reporting processes; (ii) the integrity and audits of our financial statements; (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iv) the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors; and (v) the performance of our internal and independent auditors.

The audit committee selects the independent public accountants to audit our annual financial statements, reviews with the independent public accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement and considers and approves the audit and non-audit services and fees provided by the independent public accountants. Our board of directors has determined that each director appointed to the audit committee is financially literate and that at least one director appointed to the audit committee, Mr. Gaw, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act. The members of our audit committee are: Messrs. Gaw, who is the chairman of the committee, DeAgazio and Cottone.

Compensation Committee

Our board of directors has established a compensation committee to assist the board of directors in discharging its responsibility in all matters of compensation practices, including any salary and other forms of compensation for our officers and our directors, and employees in the event we ever have employees. Our compensation committee is comprised of our three independent directors, Messrs. Cottone, who is the chairman of the committee, Gaw and DeAgazio. The primary duties of the compensation committee include reviewing all forms of compensation for our executive officers, if any, and our directors; approving all stock option grants, warrants, stock appreciation rights and other current or deferred compensation payable with respect to the current or future value of our shares; and advising on changes in compensation of members of the board of directors.

Corporate Governance Committee

In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter creates a corporate governance committee of our board of directors consisting solely of all of our independent directors, that is, all of our directors who are not affiliated with our advisor. Our charter authorizes the corporate governance committee to act on any matter permitted under Maryland law. Both the board of directors and the corporate governance committee must act upon those conflict-of-interest matters that cannot be delegated to a committee under Maryland law. Our charter also empowers the corporate governance committee to retain its own legal and financial advisors at our expense.

Our charter requires that the corporate governance committee discharge the board’s responsibilities relating to the nomination of independent directors and the compensation of our independent directors. The members of our corporate governance committee are Messrs. DeAgazio, who is the chairman of the committee, Gaw and Cottone.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our executive officers and directors, including but not limited to, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics can be found at http:.//www.plymouthreit.com.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation of Executive Officers

Our compensation committee, which is composed of our independent directors, discharges our board of directors' responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executives. However, we currently do not have any paid employees and our executive officers do not receive any compensation directly from us. Our executive officers are officers and/or employees of, or hold an indirect ownership interest in, Plymouth Real Estate Investors, our advisor, and/or its affiliates, and our executive officers are compensated by these entities, in part, for their services to us or our subsidiaries. See Part III, Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence – Certain Transactions with Related Persons" for a discussion of the fees paid to Plymouth Real Estate Investors and its affiliates.

Compensation of Directors

If a director is also one of our executive officers, we do not pay any compensation to that person for services rendered as a director. The amount and form of compensation payable to our independent directors for their service to us is determined by our board of directors, based upon recommendations from our advisor. Two of our executive officers, Messrs. Witherell and White, manage and control our advisor, and through the advisor, they are involved in recommending and setting the compensation to be paid to our independent directors.

We have provided below certain information regarding compensation earned by or paid to our directors during fiscal year 2012.

_______

⁽¹⁾Directors who are also our executive officers do not receive compensation for services rendered as a director.

Cash Compensation

We intend to compensate each of our independent directors with an annual retainer of $45,000 consisting of $25,000 in cash and $20,000 in restricted stock initially valued at $10.00 per share. In addition, we will pay our independent directors for attending board and committee meetings as follows:

All of our directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. If a director is also one of our officers, we will not pay any compensation for services rendered as a director. The independent directors have elected to receive all compensation in the form of stock through the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

Stock Ownership

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 15, 2013 , for each person or group that holds more than 5% of our common stock, for each director and executive officer and for our directors and executive officers as a group.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Director Independence

Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, a majority of the members of or board of directors, and all of the members of the audit committee, the corporate governance committee and the compensation committee, are "independent" as defined by the New York Stock Exchange. The New York Stock Exchange standards provide that to qualify as an independent director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). Our board of directors has determined that Philip S. Cottone. Richard J. DeAgazio and David G. Gaw, each satisfies the bright-line criteria and that none has a relationship with us that would interfere with such person's ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of the board. None of these directors has ever served as (or is related to) an employee of ours or any of our predecessors or acquired companies or received or earned any compensation from us or any such other entities except for compensation directly related to service as a director of us. Therefore, we believe that all of these directors are independent directors.

Our Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

Our charter requires our corporate governance committee, which consists of all of our independent directors, to review and approve all transactions between us and our advisor, any of our officers or directors or any of their affiliates. Prior to entering into a transaction with a related party, a majority of the conflicts committee must conclude that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. In addition, our Code of Conduct and Ethics lists examples of types of transactions with related parties that would create prohibited conflicts of interest and requires our officers and directors to be conscientious of actual and potential conflicts of interest with respect to our interests and to seek to avoid such conflicts or handle such conflicts in an ethical manner at all times consistent with applicable law. Our executive officers and directors are required to report potential and actual conflicts to a designated compliance officer, currently our chief financial officer, via the ethics hotline, to an internal audit representative or directly to the audit committee chair, as appropriate.

Certain Transactions with Related Persons

As described further below, we have entered into agreements with certain affiliates pursuant to which they will provide services to us. Jeffrey E. Witherell, Pendleton White, Jr. and Donna Brownell control and indirectly own a majority of our advisor, Plymouth Real Estate Investors Inc., and Mr. Witherell owns and controls the dealer manager of our public offering, Plymouth Real Estate Capital LLC. They are also our executive officers.

Our Relationship with Plymouth Real Estate Investors. Our advisor provides day-to-day management of our business. Among the services provided by our advisor under the terms of the advisory agreement are the following:

Our advisor is subject to the supervision of our board of directors and only has such authority as we may delegate to it as our agent. Our advisory agreement was renewed on July 27, 2012 subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we expect to pay or reimburse our advisor as set forth below over the next year.

Our advisor or its affiliates have paid, and may pay in the future, some of our organization offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) incurred in connection with our ongoing initial public offering, including our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees. We will reimburse our advisor for these costs and for future organization and offering costs incurred on our behalf, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds of our initial public offering as of the date of the reimbursement. In addition, after the termination of the primary offering, our advisor is obligated to reimburse us to the extent selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering costs borne by us exceed 15% of the gross proceeds raised in the primary offering. In the event we do not raise the minimum offering amount in our initial public offering, we will terminate the offering and have no obligation to reimburse our advisor for any organization and offering costs. As of April 15, 2013, our advisor has incurred organization and offering costs on our behalf of $1.111 million.

For asset management services, we pay our advisor a monthly fee. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee will be a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.0% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee will be a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 1.0% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination expenses related thereto, but is exclusive of acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, (excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor), as of the time of calculation.

Under our advisory agreement our advisor and its affiliates have the right to seek reimbursement from us for all costs and expenses they incur in connection with their provision of services to us, including our allocable share of our advisor's overhead, such as rent, employee costs, utilities and information technology costs. Our advisor may seek reimbursement for employee costs under the advisory agreement. Our advisor may seek reimbursement for our allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to us. In the future, if our advisor seeks reimbursement for additional employee costs, such costs may include our proportionate share of the salaries of persons involved in the preparation of documents to meet SEC reporting requirements. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we will not pay our advisory an acquisition or disposition fee; however, we will reimburse our advisor for certain expenses associated with the acquisition and origination of our investments. The amount of reimbursement to our advisory for personnel costs will be evaluated on an ongoing basis. Such reimbursement will be subject to limitation and based on a number of factors, including profitability, funds available and our ability to pay distributions from cash flow generated from operations. The anticipated amount of reimbursement on an annual basis for our executive officers is $500,000 for all executives, including base salary, bonuses and related benefits. Pursuant to the advisor agreement, these expenses are not reimbursable to our advisor unless and until we raise the minimum offering amount in our initial public offering. As of April 15, 2013, our advisor has incurred operating expenses on our behalf of $2.339 million.

Our Relationship with Plymouth Real Estate Capital. On November 1, 2011, upon the launch of our public offering, we entered into an agreement with our dealer manager. Pursuant to the agreement, our dealer manager is entitled to receive selling commissions and dealer manager fees of up to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering (no selling commissions or dealer manager fees are payable with respect to sales under the dividend reinvestment plan). Reduced selling commissions are payable with respect to certain volume discount sales. The dealer manager will reallow 100% of selling commissions to broker-dealers participating in the public offering.

In addition to selling commissions and dealer manager fees, we are also obligated to reimburse the dealer manager and its affiliates for certain offering related expenses that they incur on our behalf. These include expenses for travel, meals, lodging and attendance and sponsorship fees incurred by registered persons associated with the dealer manager and officers and employees of our affiliates to attend retail conferences sponsored by participating broker-dealers and otter meetings with participating broker-dealers; expense reimbursements to broker-dealers for actual costs incurred in connection with attending bona fide training and education meetings hosted by us; certain technology costs associated with the offering; certain legal fees allocable to the dealer manager; and reimbursement of bond fide due diligence expenses of broker-dealers. Under our dealer manager agreement, we are responsible for reimbursing our dealer manager and its affiliates for offering related expenses they incur provided that our reimbursement payments shall not cause (i) total underwriting compensation (excluding reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses) to exceed 10% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering, or (ii) total organization and offering expenses borne by us to exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. Currently Proposed Transactions. There are no currently proposed material transactions with related persons other than those covered by the terms of the agreements described above.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the period from March 7, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from March 7, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Business

Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation formed on March 7, 2011. The Company intends to acquire and operate on an opportunistic basis commercial real estate and real estate-related assets that exhibit current income characteristics. In particular, the Company intends to focus on acquiring commercial properties located in markets and submarkets with growth potential and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. In addition, our opportunistic investment strategy may include investments in real estate-related assets with significant possibilities for short-term capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning. The Company may acquire, or participate in joint ventures owning, a wide variety of commercial properties including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, medical office, single-tenant, multifamily and other real properties.

The Company intends to operate in a manner that will allow it to be a real estate investment trust, or “REIT”, for federal income tax purposes. The Company utilizes an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of its properties and securities through an operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership").

On March 11, 2011, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock to Plymouth Group Real Estate, LLC (the Sponsor), at a price of $200,000, or $10 per share. As of April 15, 2013 the Company has sold 391,700 shares for gross offering proceeds of $3.863 million to third party investors.

The Company has retained Plymouth Real Estate Investors, Inc. (the” Advisor”) to serve as its advisor. The Advisor is responsible for managing, operating, directing and supervising the operations and administration of the Company and its assets. The Company has retained Plymouth Real Estate Capital, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), and a member of FINRA, to act as the exclusive Dealer Manager for this offering. The Advisor and the Dealer Manager are affiliates of Plymouth Group Real Estate LLC, the Sponsor of the Company.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe our most critical accounting policies are the accounting for lease revenues, the regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired, real estate purchase price allocations and accounting for joint ventures. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. We rely on our experience, we collect historical data and current market data, and we analyze these assumptions in order to arrive at what we believe to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes significant estimates regarding impairments. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less such as money market mutual funds or certificates of deposits. As of December 31, 2012, we have not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Investments in REIT Securities

Management determines the classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the intent and the Company has the ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity. Investment securities held-to-maturity are stated at amortized cost. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time, but not necessarily to be held-to-maturity or on a long-term basis, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. The carrying values of all securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the shorter of the period to call or maturity of the related security using a method that approximates the interest method. Management may also carry securities as trading securities, with changes in fair value being reflected in the income statement during the period the change occurs. See footnote 6 for further discussion.

Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities, if any, are determined using the amortized cost of the specific securities sold. If a decline in the fair value of a security below its amortized cost is judged by management to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included in operations.

Equity Method Accounting

The Company may acquire equity interest in various limited partnership or other entities. In certain cases where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the borrower, we account for our equity interest under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, we recognize our proportional share of the borrower’s net income or loss as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in our results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Under GAAP, we will be required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we will be required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,

continued

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  - (continued)

When available, we will utilize quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and will classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we will use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and will establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we will measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies its Investment in REIT Securities as Level 1.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

We will consider the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (1) there are few recent transactions; (2) price quotations are not based on current information; (3) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets); (4) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability; (5) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with our estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability; (6) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread; (7) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities; and (8) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).

We will consider the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (1) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions; (2) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant; (3) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced); and (4) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.

Income Taxes

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intend to operate as such beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012. We expect to have little or no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not

necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless we are able to obtain relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated on the basis of weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing’s (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. (ASU 2011-03) changes the assessment of effective control by focusing on the transferor’s contractual rights and obligations and removing the criterion to assess the ability to exercise those rights or honor those obligations. ASU 2011-03 is effective for the interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In May 2011 the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. (ASU 2011-04) establishes common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and IFRS. (ASU 2011-04) which amends topic 820 by clarifying the intent of the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update also change the fair value measurement of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio subject to market risks and the credit risk of counterparties, the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and require additional fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2011-04 will be applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.

In June 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 gives two options for presenting other comprehensive income (“OCI”). An OCI statement can be included with the net income statement, which together will make a statement of total comprehensive income. Alternatively an OCI statement may be presented separately from a net income statement, but the two statements must appear consecutively within a financial report. Currently, ASU 2011-05 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In October 2011, the FASB announced that it is considering deferring certain provisions in ASU 2011-05 related to the presentation and reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position as it only impacts required disclosures. The Company did not have other comprehensive income or losses during the year ended December 31, 2012 or March 7, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011.

(3) Initial Public Offering

The Company is offering for sale up to $642,500,000 in shares of common stock, of which 50,000,000 shares are offered to investors at a price of $10.00 per share, and of which 15,000,000 shares are offered to participants in the Public Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share (the “Initial Offering”).

The Company commenced the Initial Public Offering on November 1, 2011. As of April 15, 2013, the Company had reached gross offering proceeds of approximately $4.063 million, which is sufficient to satisfy minimum offering amounts in all states where the Company is conducting its offering except Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

The Company has the right to reallocate the shares of common stock offered between the Company’s primary public offering and the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The Dealer Manager is providing dealer manager services in connection with the offering. The Initial Public Offering is a best efforts offering, which means that the Dealer Manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock in the offering but will use its best efforts to sell the shares of common stock. The Initial Public Offering is a continuous offering that will end within two years of its Effective Date, unless it is extended in states that permit such an extension. In certain states, the Initial Public Offering must be renewed after one year of offering. Offering renewals have been completed.

(4) Related Party Transactions

The Company is a party to an advisory agreement dated July 27, 2011 with Plymouth Real Estate Investors, Inc. (“Plymouth REI”) which entitles Plymouth REI to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Offering and investment of funds in real estate and real estate related investments, among other services, as well as reimbursement for organization and offering costs incurred by Plymouth REI on behalf of the Company and certain costs incurred by Plymouth REI and its affiliates in providing services to the Company.

On August 17, 2012 the Company, through its operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP LP, acquired a 51.5% equity interest in the Class A shares of Colony Hills Capital Residential II, LLC (“CHCR II”) which is a joint venture with Colony Hills Capital, LLC. CHCR II is the sole member of Wynthrope Holdings, LLC, which owns Wynthrope Forest Apartments, a 23 building, 270 unit multifamily complex located in Riverdale, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The property was 93.3% occupied at the time of acquisition, with a majority of leases ranging from one year or longer. The purchase price for the equity interest was $1,250,000. The purchase price the joint venture paid for the property was $13.9 million, which included $10.6 million of secured debt.

On September 10, 2012 the Company, through its operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP LP, acquired a 12.27% limited partnership interest in TCG Cincinnati DRE LP (the “Partnership”). The Partnership owns three Class B industrial buildings comprised of approximately 576,751 square feet located in the Greater Cincinnati area. All three buildings were 100% occupied at the time of the investment, consisting of four tenants with leases of two to ten years. The purchase price for the equity interest acquired by the Company was $500,000.

The Company funded the purchase price of these investments with proceeds from its Initial Public Offering.

The Company performed an analysis to determine whether or not these entities represent variable interest entities (VIEs), and if the Company is the primary beneficiary (PB) of the VIEs.

The Company concluded that CHCR II is a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the PB of the VIE as the Company does not have the ability to make decisions over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of CHCR II. The Company accounts for the CHCR II investment as an equity method investment.

The Company has concluded that TCG Cincinnati DRE LP is not a VIE. The Company does not have control over the entity and accounts for the investment as an equity method investment.

Distributions

Our Board of Directors have declared two stock distributions of 0.015 shares each of our common stock $0.01 par value per share, or 1.5% of each outstanding share of common stock to the stockholders of record at the close of business on September 28, 2012 and December 31, 2012.

To mitigate this risk, during April 2013, the Company entered into agreements with certain of its vendors to limit future expenses related to certain professional services and entered into agreements with its independent directors for all compensation through December 31, 2013 and amounts accrued as of December 31, 2012 to be paid in the form of stock.
