Report on the Financial Statement

 

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of Venture One Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statement

 

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

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

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

 

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

 

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

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the combined financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses, described in Note 2, of Venture One Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

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

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PORTFOLIO

 

Venture One Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) consists of a group of six fully-constructed industrial warehouse facilities located in Chicago, Illinois with approximately 486,000 square feet of rentable space. As of September 30, 2014, common control existed across all properties in the Portfolio. Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

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

 

INTERIM UNAUDITED INFORMATION

 

The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is unaudited. In the opinion of the Company, such statement reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of revenues and certain expenses in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 3-14 as described above. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

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