Global Self Storage, Inc.Annual Report 2017 PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT, INC. About Us Plymouth Industrial REIT (NYSE American: PLYM) is a vertically integrated and self- managed real estate investment trust focused on the acquisition and operation of single and multi-tenant industrial properties located in secondary and select primary markets across the United States. The Company seeks to acquire properties that provide current operating income with the opportunity to enhance shareholder value through property re-positioning, capital improvements and restructuring tenant leases. Cover Photo: 3635 Knight Road Memphis, Tennessee Dear Fellow Shareholders: We are honored to report on our first year as a public company. We hope we are able to articulate in this brief letter our excitement and basis for the growth potential for Plymouth Industrial REIT. Our initial public offering in June 2017 was a major accomplishment for our team, but more importantly it marked the start of a new period of growth for Plymouth. Since that time, we have been one of the more active REITs in terms of putting capital to work and have established a proven record of making accretive investments. Through a combination of IPO and preferred offering proceeds we have raised over $101 million in capital, utilized operating partnership units in acquisitions, and secured access to another $45 million through a new credit facility. The portfolio we have created is highly diversified and well-leased. It now totals 9.5 million square feet in nine states and was 96.5% leased at year end. We own both multi-tenant and single-tenant buildings with over 80 tenants in the portfolio across all product types. We have doubled the size of the portfolio since our IPO, and are expecting to generate a similar impact on revenues and net operating income as we begin to see the full benefit from these acquisitions and our strong releasing spreads. If there is any particular transaction that embodies the type of opportunity available to us, it is the 15-property Chicago portfolio we acquired from Goldman Sachs in November 2017. This was a transformational deal at an attractive initial yield — funded primarily by an $80 million mortgage from Goldman — that provided substantial scale in the second largest industrial market in the United States. Through property re-positioning and intensive asset management, we are already seeing positive results that exceed our initial underwriting. With our differentiated focus on where Industrial America is established with access to highly skilled labor, we are located in many of the top industrial markets — such as Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus and Indianapolis to name a few — that have been targeted for “last mile” use and have strong fundamentals. Our investment efforts have focused primarily on Class B and select Class A industrial buildings, as they are more prevalent in the infill submarkets. From smaller flex and light manufacturing buildings to larger properties that are more distribution oriented and mission-critical to their tenants, we believe we have a successful investment formula. The opportunity now is to take a proven and time-tested team with real estate and public company experience, further develop our niche focus, deliver both attractive stable returns and rental growth from proactive asset management, and source and execute on accretive acquisitions. Our accomplishments during 2017 and to date in 2018, along with a robust economic environment that is driving demand for industrial properties, give us confidence that we can scale this platform to create value for all our shareholders. Thank you for your support and continued investment with us. We look forward to reporting our progress to you during the year.

Our definitions of Class A industrial properties, Class B industrial properties, primary markets and secondary markets may vary from the definitions of these terms used by investors, analysts or other industrial REITs. iii Item 1. Business Overview PART I We are a full service, vertically integrated, self-administered and self-managed Maryland corporation focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of single and multi-tenant Class B industrial properties, including distribution centers, warehouses and light industrial properties, primarily located in secondary and select primary markets across the U.S. For our definition of Class B industrial properties, see “—Our Investment and Growth Strategies—Investment Strategy.” As of December 31, 2017, the Company Portfolio consists of 49 industrial properties located in nine states with an aggregate of approximately 9.2 million rentable square feet. The Company Portfolio was 96.5% leased to 82 different tenants across 17 industry types as of December 31, 2017. We intend to continue to focus on the acquisition of Class B industrial properties primarily in secondary markets with net rentable square footage ranging between approximately 100 million and 300 million square feet, which we refer to as our target markets. We believe industrial properties in such target markets will provide superior and consistent cash flow returns at generally lower acquisition costs relative to industrial properties in primary markets. Further, we believe there is a greater potential for higher rates of appreciation in the value of industrial properties in our target markets relative to industrial properties in primary markets. We believe our target markets provide us with opportunities to acquire both stabilized properties generating favorable cash flows, as well as properties where we can enhance returns through value-add renovations and redevelopment. We focus primarily on the following investments: • single-tenant industrial properties where tenants are paying below-market rents with near-term lease expirations that we believe have a high likelihood of renewal at market rents; and • multi-tenant industrial properties that we believe would benefit from our value-add management approach to create attractive leasing options for our tenants, and as a result of the presence of smaller tenants, obtain higher per-square-foot rents. We believe there are a significant number of attractive acquisition opportunities available to us in our target markets and that the fragmented and complex nature of our target markets generally make it difficult for less-experienced or less-focused investors to access comparable opportunities on a consistent basis. Our company, which was formerly known as Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc., was founded in March 2011 by two of our executive officers, Jeffrey Witherell and Pendleton White, Jr., each of whom has at least 25 years of experience acquiring, owning and operating commercial real estate properties. Specifically, both were members of a team of senior investment executives that was responsible for the acquisition and capital formation of commercial properties for Franklin Street Properties (NYSE: FSP), or Franklin Street, a REIT based in Boston, MA, from 2000 to 2007, during which time Franklin Street listed its stock on the American Stock Exchange. Following their time at Franklin Street, our founders recognized a growing opportunity in the Class B industrial space, particularly in secondary markets and select primary markets, following the 2008-2010 recession, and founded our company to participate in the cyclical recovery of the U.S. economy. Between March 2011 to April 2014, we prepared for and engaged in a non-listed public offering of our common stock. We used the proceeds from that offering to acquire equity interests in five industrial properties. In 2014, we used the proceeds of a senior secured loan to acquire 100% fee ownership in three of those properties and 100% fee ownership in an additional 17 properties that comprise a portion of the Company Portfolio. In July 2015 and January 2017, we sold our equity interests in the two properties in which we did not have 100% fee ownership. In June 2017, we completed our initial listed public offering of our common stock. The net proceeds of our initial listed public offering were approximately $52.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. We used approximately $20.0 million of the net proceeds of the offering to redeem Torchlight’s preferred equity interests in one of our subsidiaries and substantially all of the remaining net proceeds to acquire nine additional industrial properties. Investment Strategy Our primary investment strategy is to acquire and own Class B industrial properties predominantly in secondary markets across the U.S. We generally define Class B industrial properties as industrial properties that are typically more than 15 years old, have clear heights between 18 and 26 feet and square footage between 50,000 and 300,000 square feet, with building systems that have adequate capacities to deliver the services currently needed by existing tenants, but may need upgrades for future tenants. In contrast, we define Class A industrial properties as industrial properties that typically are 15 years old or newer, have clear heights in excess of 26 feet and square footage in excess of 300,000 square feet, with energy efficient design characteristics suitable for current and future tenants. We intend to own and acquire properties that we believe can achieve high initial yields and strong ongoing cash-on-cash returns and that exhibit the potential for increased rental growth in the near future. In addition, we may acquire Class A industrial properties that offer similar attractive return characteristics if the cost basis for such properties are comparable to those of Class B industrial properties in a given market or sub-market. While we will focus on investment opportunities in our target markets, we 1 may make opportunistic acquisitions of Class A industrial properties or industrial properties in primary markets when we believe we can achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns. We also intend to pursue joint venture arrangements with institutional partners which could provide management fee income as well as residual profit-sharing income. Such joint ventures may involve investing in industrial assets that would be characterized as opportunistic or value-add investments. These may involve development or re-development strategies that may require significant up-front capital expenditures, lengthy lease-up periods and result in inconsistent cash flows. As such, these properties’ risk profiles and return metrics would likely differ from the non-joint venture properties that we target for acquisition. We believe we have a competitive advantage in sourcing attractive acquisitions because the competition for our target assets is primarily from local investors who are not likely to have ready access to debt or equity capital. In addition, our umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure enables us to acquire industrial properties on a non-cash basis in a tax efficient manner through the issuance of OP units as full or partial consideration for the transaction. We will also continue to develop our large existing network of relationships with real estate and financial intermediaries. These individuals and companies give us access to significant deal flow—both those broadly marketed and those exposed through only limited marketing. These properties will be acquired primarily from third-party owners of existing leased buildings and secondarily from owner-occupiers through sale-leaseback transactions. Growth Strategies We seek to maximize our cash flows through proactive asset management. Our asset management team actively manages our properties in an effort to maintain high retention rates, lease vacant space, manage operating expenses and maintain our properties to an appropriate standard. In doing so, we have developed strong tenant relationships. We intend to leverage those relationships and market knowledge to increase renewals, properly prepare tenants for rent increases, obtain early notification of departures to provide longer re-leasing periods and work with tenants to properly maintain the quality and attractiveness of our properties. Our asset management team also collaborates with our internal credit function to actively monitor the credit profile of each of our tenants and prospective tenants on an ongoing basis. Our asset management team functions include strategic planning and decision-making, centralized leasing activities and management of third-party leasing companies. Our asset management/credit team oversees property management activities relating to our properties which include controlling capital expenditures and expenses that are not reimbursable by tenants, making regular property inspections, overseeing rent collections and cost control and planning and budgeting activities. Tenant relations matters, including monitoring of tenant compliance with their property maintenance obligations and other lease provisions, will be handled by in-house personnel for most of our properties. Financing Strategy We intend to maintain a flexible and growth-oriented capital structure. We intend to use the net proceeds from our public offerings along with additional secured and unsecured indebtedness to acquire industrial properties. Our additional indebtedness may include arrangements such as a revolving credit facility or term loan. We believe that we will have the ability to leverage newly-acquired properties with our long-term target debt-to-value ratio of less than 50%. We also anticipate using OP units to acquire properties from existing owners interested in tax-deferred transactions. Investment Criteria We believe that our market knowledge, operations systems and internal processes allow us to efficiently analyze the risks associated with an asset’s ability to produce cash flow going forward. We blend fundamental real estate analysis with corporate credit analysis to make a probabilistic assessment of cash flows that will be realized in future periods. We also use data-driven and event-driven analytics and primary research to identify and pursue emerging investment opportunities. Our investment strategy focuses on Class B industrial properties in secondary markets for the following reasons: • Class B industrial properties generally require less capital expenditures than both Class A industrial properties and other • commercial property types; investment yields for Class B industrial properties are often greater than investment yields on both Class A industrial properties and other commercial property types; • Class B industrial tenants tend to retain their current space more frequently than Class A industrial tenants; • Class B industrial properties tend to have higher current returns and lower volatility than Class A industrial properties; • we believe there is less competition for Class B industrial properties from institutional real estate buyers; our typical • competitors are local investors who often do not have ready access to debt or equity capital; the Class B industrial real estate market is highly fragmented and complex, which we believe makes it difficult for less- experienced or less-focused investors to access comparable opportunities on a consistent basis; • we believe that there is a limited new supply of Class B industrial space in our target markets; • • Class B industrial properties and secondary markets are typically “cycle agnostic”; i.e., less prone to overall real estate secondary markets generally have less occupancy and rental rate volatility than primary markets; cycle fluctuations; • we believe secondary markets generally have more growth potential at a lower cost basis than primary markets; and 2 • we believe that the demand for e-commerce-related properties, or e-fulfillment facilities, will continue to grow and play a significant role in our investing strategy. Regulation General Our properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that we have the necessary permits and approvals to operate each of our properties. Americans with Disabilities Act Our properties must comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined under the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Although we believe that the properties in the Company Portfolio in the aggregate substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA, and we have not received any notice for correction from any regulatory agency, we have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine whether we are in compliance and therefore we may own properties that are not in compliance with the ADA. ADA compliance is dependent upon the tenant’s specific use of the property, and as the use of a property changes or improvements to existing spaces are made, we will take steps to ensure compliance. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in additional costs to attain compliance, imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages or attorney’s fees to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations to achieve compliance as necessary. Environmental Matters The Company Portfolio is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws. Under these laws, courts and government agencies have the authority to require us, as owner of a contaminated property, to clean up the property, even if we did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination. These laws also apply to persons who owned a property at the time it became contaminated, and therefore, it is possible we could incur these costs even after we sell some of the properties we acquire. In addition to the costs of cleanup, environmental contamination can affect the value of a property and, therefore, an owner’s ability to borrow using the property as collateral or to sell the property. Under applicable environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the authority to require that a person who sent waste to a waste disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, pay for the clean-up of that facility if it becomes contaminated and threatens human health or the environment. Furthermore, various court decisions have established that third parties may recover damages for injury caused by property contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos at one of our properties may seek to recover damages if he or she suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place conditions on various activities. An example would be laws that require a business using chemicals to manage them carefully and to notify local officials that the chemicals are being used. We could be responsible for any of the costs discussed above. The costs to clean up a contaminated property, to defend against a claim, or to comply with environmental laws could be material and could adversely affect the funds available for distribution to our stockholders. We usually require Phase I or similar environmental assessments by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition of a property. We generally expect to continue to obtain a Phase I or similar environmental site assessments by independent environmental consultants on each property prior to acquiring it. However, these environmental assessments may not reveal all environmental costs that might have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, results of operations or liquidity and may not identify all potential environmental liabilities. We can make no assurances that (1) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose material environmental liabilities on us, or (2) the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us. Insurance We carry commercial property, liability and terrorism coverage on all the properties in the Company Portfolio under a blanket insurance policy. Generally, we do not carry insurance for certain types of extraordinary losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by riots, war, earthquakes and wildfires unless the property is in a higher risk area for those events. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and standard industry practice, however, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover all of our losses. In addition, our title insurance policies may not insure for the current aggregate market value of the Company Portfolio, and we do not intend to increase our title insurance coverage as the market value of the Company Portfolio increases. Competition In acquiring our properties, we compete with other public industrial property sector REITs, income oriented non-traded REITs, private real estate fund managers and local real estate investors and developers. The last named group, local real estate 3 investors and developers, historically has represented our dominant competition for acquisition opportunities. Many of these entities have greater resources than us or other competitive advantages. We also face significant competition in leasing available properties to prospective tenants and in re-leasing space to existing tenants. Employees As of December 31, 2017, we had eleven full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. Legal Proceedings We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. There can be no assurance that these matters that may arise in the future, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Structure and Formation of Our Company Our Company We were formed as a Maryland corporation in March 2011 and previously conducted business as Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. We conduct our business through an UPREIT structure in which our properties are owned by our operating partnership directly or through subsidiaries, as described below under “—Our Operating Partnership.” We are the sole general partner of our operating partnership and indirectly own 90.1% of the OP units in our operating partnership and all of the membership interests in its subsidiaries. Our board of directors oversees our business and affairs. Our Operating Partnership Our operating partnership was formed as a Delaware limited partnership in March 2011. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, our operating partnership. Any net proceeds from our public offerings will be contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for OP units. Our interest in our operating partnership will generally entitle us to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, our operating partnership in proportion to our percentage ownership. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, we generally have the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct its business and affairs, subject to certain limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

On July 31, 2017, the Company paid a cash dividend in the amount of $0.0650 per share for the period beginning June 14, 2017 and ended June 30, 2017 to stockholders of record on July 7, 2017. On October 31, 2017, the Company paid a cash dividend in the amount of $0.3750 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 to stockholders of record on September 30, 2017. On January 31, 2018, the Company paid a cash dividend in the amount of $0.3750 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 to stockholders of record on December 29, 2017. (4) (5) Distribution Policy It is our policy to declare quarterly dividends to the stockholders so as to comply with applicable provisions of the Code governing REITs. The declaration and payment of quarterly dividends remains subject to the review and approval of the board of directors. To satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT, and to avoid paying tax on our income, we have paid and intend to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends of all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to holders of our common stock. We intend to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments as described below) to our stockholders in order to qualify as a REIT under the Code and generally expect to distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income so as to avoid the excise tax on undistributed REIT taxable income. Distributions to our common stockholders are authorized by our board of directors in its sole discretion and declared by us out of funds legally available therefor. We expect that our board of directors, in authorizing the amounts of distributions, will consider a variety of factors, including: • • • • • • • • • actual results of operations and our cash available for distribution; the timing of the investment of the net proceeds from our offerings; debt service requirements and any restrictive covenants in our loan agreements; capital expenditure requirements for our properties; our taxable income; the annual distribution requirement under the REIT provisions of the Code; our operating expenses; requirements under applicable law; and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We anticipate that at least initially, our distributions will exceed our then current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes primarily due to depreciation and amortization that we expect to incur. Therefore, a portion of these distributions may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and not treated by us as a distribution will not be taxable to a taxable U.S. stockholder under current U.S. federal income tax law to the extent those distributions do not exceed the stockholder's adjusted tax basis in his or her shares of common stock, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of the shares of common stock. Therefore, the gain (or loss) recognized on the sale of the common stock or upon our liquidation will be increased (or decreased) 9 accordingly. To the extent those distributions exceed a taxable U.S. stockholder's adjusted tax basis in his or our shares of common stock, they generally will be treated as a capital gain realized form the taxable disposition of those shares. The percentage of our stockholder distributions that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits may vary substantially from year to year. Although we have no current intention to do so, we may in the future also choose to pay distributions in the form of our own shares. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities None. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities None. Item 6. Selected Financial Data Selected financial data has been omitted as permitted under rules applicable to smaller reporting companies. Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with our audited historical financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Overview We are a full service, vertically integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of single- and multi-tenant Class B industrial properties, including distribution centers, warehouses and light industrial properties. The Company Portfolio consists of 49 industrial properties located in nine states with an aggregate of approximately 9.2 million rentable square feet leased to 82 different tenants. Our strategy is to invest in single- and multi-tenant Class B industrial properties located primarily in secondary markets across the U.S.; however, we may make opportunistic acquisitions of Class A industrial properties or industrial properties located in primary markets. We seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders through a combination of dividends and capital appreciation. Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations Business and Strategy Our core investment strategy is to acquire primarily Class B industrial properties predominantly in secondary markets across the U.S. We expect to acquire these properties through third-party purchases and structured sale-leasebacks where we believe we can achieve high initial yields and strong ongoing cash-on-cash returns. In addition, we may make opportunistic acquisitions of Class A industrial properties or industrial properties in primary markets that offer similar return characteristics. Our target markets are comprised primarily of secondary markets because we believe these markets tend to have less occupancy and rental rate volatility and less buyer competition relative to primary markets. We also believe that the systematic aggregation of such properties will result in a diversified portfolio that will produce sustainable risk-adjusted returns. Future results of operations may be affected, either positively or negatively, by our ability to effectively execute this strategy. We also intend to pursue joint venture arrangements with institutional partners which could provide management fee income as well as residual profit-sharing income. Such joint ventures may involve investing in industrial assets that would be characterized as opportunistic or value-add investments. These may involve development or re-development strategies that may require significant up-front capital expenditures, lengthy lease-up periods and result in inconsistent cash flows. As such, these properties’ risk profiles and return metrics would likely differ from the non-joint venture properties that we target for acquisition. Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries We receive income primarily from rental revenue from our properties. The amount of rental revenue generated by the Company Portfolio depends principally on the occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, our ability to lease currently available space and space that becomes available as a result of lease expirations and on the rental rates at our properties. Occupancy Rates. As of December 31, 2017, the Company Portfolio was approximately 96.5% occupied. Our occupancy rate is impacted by general market conditions in the geographic areas which our properties are located and the financial condition of tenants in our target markets. Rental Rates. We believe that rental rates for Class B industrial properties in our markets continue to recover from the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic recession, and accordingly we expect increases in lease rates upon renewal of upcoming lease expirations as market conditions continue to improve. Future economic downturns affecting our markets could impair our ability to renew or re-lease space, and adverse developments that affect the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease obligations, 10 such as tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase occupancy or rental rates at our properties. Adverse developments or trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Scheduled Lease Expirations Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and will be affected by economic and competitive conditions in the markets in which we operate and by the desirability of our individual properties. During the period from January 1, 2018 through to December 31, 2020, an aggregate of 52.8% of the annualized base rent leases in the Company Portfolio are scheduled to expire, which we believe will provide us an opportunity to adjust below market rates as market conditions continue to improve. We have historically been able to quickly and efficiently lease vacant space in the Company Portfolio. During 2016 and 2017, leases for space totaling 506,275 square feet (5.5% of the Company Portfolio) either was subject to renewal or expired. Approximately 95% of the expired space was renewed and an additional 50,061 square feet was leased long term with new tenants. At December 31, 2017, the vacancy rate of the Company Portfolio was 3.5% factoring in the vacancy rate associated with the properties acquired in the third and fourth quarter of 2017.

Renewed leases made up 79.4% of the square footage covered by the 12 leases in excess of 6 months, and the rent under the renewed leases increased an average of 5.3% over the prior leases. Leases to new tenants comprised the other 20.6% of the square footage covered by the 12 leases in excess of 6 months, and the rent under the new leases increase an average of 48.7% over the prior leases. The rental rates under the 12 leases in excess of 6 months entered into during 2016 and 2017, increased by an average of 10.3% over the rates of the prior leases.

Rental Expenses Our rental expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and site repair and maintenance costs. For the majority of the Company Portfolio, rental expenses are controlled, in part, by either the triple net provisions or modified gross lease expense reimbursement provisions in tenant leases. However, the terms of our tenant leases vary and in some instances the leases may provide that we are responsible for certain rental expenses. Accordingly, our overall financial results will be impacted by the extent to which we are able to pass-through rental expenses to our tenants. General and Administrative Expenses As a newly public company, we expect to incur increased general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance, public reporting and compliance with various provisions of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act. In addition, we anticipate that our staffing levels will increase slightly from eleven employees as of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K to between 12 and 14 employees during the 12 to 24 months following December 31, 2017 and, as a result, our general and administrative expenses will increase further. Critical Accounting Policies Our discussion and analysis of our company’s historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. We believe our most critical accounting policies are the regular evaluation of whether the value of a real estate asset has been impaired and accounting for acquisitions. 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 the allocation of tangible and intangible assets or business acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and its common stock warrants liability.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. 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. Going Concern In accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), we have evaluated our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 included in the prospectus dated June 8, 2017, included a statement indicating substantial doubt with regard to our ability to continue as a going concern. The net proceeds of our initial listed public offering in June 2017 and our Series A Preferred Stock offering in October 2017 have fully addressed our working capital needs. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that we will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Cash We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2017, we had not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believe that we are not exposed to any significant risk of loss. Income Taxes We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012 and we believe that our organization and method of operation enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. We had no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To maintain our qualification as 12 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 maintain our qualification as a REIT in any tax 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. Investments in Real Estate We generally acquire individual properties, and, in some instances, a portfolio of properties. When we acquire individual operating properties with the intention to hold the investment for the long-term, we allocate the purchase price to the various components of the acquisition based upon the fair value of each component. The components typically include land, building, debt, intangible assets related to above and below market leases, value of costs to obtain tenants, and other assumed assets and liabilities. We consider Level 3 inputs such as the replacement cost of such assets, appraisals, property condition reports, comparable market rental data and other related information in determining the fair value of the tangible assets. The recorded fair value of intangible lease assets or liabilities includes Level 3 inputs including the value associated with leasing commissions, legal and other costs, as well as the estimated period necessary to lease such property and lease commencement. An intangible asset or liability resulting from in-place leases that are above or below the market rental rates are valued based upon our estimates of prevailing market rates for similar leases. Intangible lease assets or liabilities are amortized over the estimated, reasonably assured lease term of the remaining in-place leases as an adjustment to “Rental revenues” or “Real estate related depreciation and amortization” depending on the nature of the intangible. The valuation of assumed liabilities is based on our estimate of the current market rates for similar liabilities in effect at the acquisition date. In an acquisition of multiple properties, we must also allocate the purchase price among the properties. The allocation of the purchase price is based on our assessment of estimated fair value and often is based upon the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located. The fair value may also include an enterprise value premium that we estimate a third party would be willing to pay for a portfolio of properties. The initial allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s preliminary assessment, which may differ when final information becomes available. Capitalization of Costs and Depreciation and Amortization We capitalize costs incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating and improving real estate assets as part of the investment basis. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. During the land development and construction periods, we capitalize interest costs, insurance, real estate taxes and certain general and administrative costs of the personnel performing development, renovations and rehabilitation if such costs are incremental and identifiable to a specific activity to get the asset ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of real estate assets. We also capitalize costs incurred to successfully originate a lease that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition of that lease. Leasing costs that meet the requirements for capitalization are presented as a component of other assets. Upon our adoption of ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business, all acquisitions made subsequent to June 30, 2017 will generally be accounted for as asset acquisitions. As such all acquisition costs incurred as part of the purchase of real estate property acquisitions will be capitalized. Acquisition costs incurred as part of our real estate property prior to July 1, 2017 were expensed as acquisition costs. Real estate, including land, building and land improvements, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment, leasing costs and intangible lease assets and liabilities are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless circumstances indicate that the cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value as discussed below in our policy with regards to impairment of long-lived assets. We estimate the depreciable portion of our real estate assets and related useful lives in order to record depreciation expense. Our ability to estimate the depreciable portions of our real estate assets and useful lives is critical to the determination of the appropriate amount of depreciation and amortization expense recorded and the carrying value of the underlying assets. Any change to the assets to be depreciated and the estimated depreciable lives of these assets would have an impact on the depreciation expense recognized. As discussed above in investments in real estate, in connection with property acquisitions, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an intangible lease asset or liability and amortized to “Rental revenues” over the reasonably assured term of the related leases. The unamortized balances of these assets and liabilities associated with the early termination of leases are fully amortized to their respective revenue line items in our consolidated financial statements over the shorter of the expected life of such assets and liabilities or the remaining lease term. Our estimate of the useful life of our assets is evaluated upon acquisition and when circumstances indicate a change in the useful life, which requires significant judgment regarding the economic obsolescence of tangible and intangible assets. 13 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review our real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions, as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Our intent with regard to the underlying assets might change as market conditions change, as well as other factors, especially in the current global economic environment. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property and quoted market values and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property. Assumptions and estimates used in the recoverability analyses for future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions or our intent with regard to our investment that occurs subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate properties. Valuation of Receivables We are subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of outstanding receivables. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on prospective tenants before significant leases are executed and on existing tenants before properties are acquired. We specifically analyze aged receivables, customer credit-worthiness, historical bad debts and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of our periodic analysis, we maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. This estimate requires significant judgment related to the lessees’ ability to fulfill their obligations under the leases. If a tenant is insolvent or files for bankruptcy protection and fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances, which include amounts recognized as straight-line revenue not realizable until future periods. Consolidation We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned and those in which we own less than 100% but control, as well as any variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our ability to control an entity and whether the entity is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary through consideration of the substantive terms of the arrangement to identify which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Investments in entities in which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are presented under the equity method. Investments in entities that we do not control and over which we do not exercise significant influence are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate. Our ability to correctly assess our influence and/or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements. 14 Results of Operations (amounts in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to December 31, 2016 Same Store Portfolio Acquisitions Total Portfolio Year ended December 31, Change 2017 2016 $ % Year ended December 31, 2017 2016 Change Year ended December 31, Change $ % 2017 2016 $ % Revenue: Rental revenue .................................

The increase was primarily related to rental revenue from the acquired properties from the date of acquisition in 2017 of $3,806 and an increase of $58 from same store properties primarily driven by an increase of base rent of $268 offset by a decrease in straight-line rent adjustment of $198 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Tenant recoveries: Tenant recoveries increased by approximately $1,293 to $6,443 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $5,150 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily related to tenant recoveries from the acquisitions made during 2017 of $1,048 and an increase in tenant recoveries of $245 from same store properties for the year ended December 31, 2017. Property Expenses: Property expenses increased $2,278 for the year ended December 31, 2017 to $8,205 as compared to $5,927 for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily for expenses related to the new property acquisitions of $1,602. Operating expense for the same store properties increased approximately $676 primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes and grounds and landscaping maintenance of $510 and $115, respectively. Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $2,324 to approximately $13,998 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $11,674 for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to the addition of the new property acquisitions of $2,666 offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense for the same store properties of $342. General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1,480 to $5,189 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $3,709 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is attributable primarily to an increase in accounting, legal and other professional expenses costs of $1,285 which included one-time non-capitalizable related transaction costs such as 3-14 audit fees of $83 and $127 in valuation work associated with our acquisition activity, tax fees for 20 LLC of $227 and non-capitalizable transaction legal costs $375, non-cash stock compensation of $435, offset partially by decreased Directors and Officers Insurance of $370 due to purchase of “Run of Coverage” in 2016 and occupancy costs of $67. Acquisition Expenses: Acquisition costs increased $70 to $103 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $33 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Acquisition expenses for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included costs for acquisitions we decided not to pursue. Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased by approximately $29,098 to $11,581 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $40,679 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was due to the refinancing of the Company’s debt throughout 2017. The schedule below is a comparative analysis of the components of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. For more information about our 2017 financing transactions, see Note 7 to our consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included elsewhere in this annual report. 15 Year Ended December 31, 2016 2017 Accrued Interest Payments .......................................................................................................................................................... $ Accretion of Prior Senior Loan Discount ..........................................................................................................................

In 2016, we recognized gain of $2,846 on the disposition of the property held in the joint venture. The gain in the amount of $231 in 2017 represented final settlement of the joint venture. Other income: Other income represents interest income and net income received from joint ventures. The decrease in other income by $227 to $3 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $230 for the year ended December 31, 2016 was due to the disposition of the property held in the joint venture. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this annual report on Form 10-K, we disclose NOI, EBITDA, FFO and AFFO, each of which meet the definition of “non- GAAP financial measure” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result, we are required to include in this report a statement of why management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. None of NOI, EBITDA, FFO or AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further NOI, EBITDA, FFO, and AFFO should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue, tenant reimbursements, management, leasing and development services revenue and other income) less property-level operating expenses including allocated overhead. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items. The following is a reconciliation from historical reported net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to NOI: (In thousands) Year Ended December 31, Historical Consolidated 2017 2016 NOI: Net loss ..................................................................................................................................................................................................... $ General and administrative ..........................................................................................................................................................

We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our historical net loss to EBITDA for the periods presented. 16 (In thousands) Year Ended December 31, Historical Consolidated 2017 2016 Net loss ..................................................................................................................................................................................................... $ Depreciation and amortization ..................................................................................................................................................

We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. We define FFO, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, definition, as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment losses and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO (in accordance with the NAREIT definition) as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our historical net loss to FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders for the periods presented: (In thousands) Year Ended December 31, Historical Consolidated 2017 2016 Net loss ..................................................................................................................................................................................................... $ Depreciation and amortization ..................................................................................................................................................

AFFO is defined as FFO, excluding certain non- cash operating revenues and expenses, acquisition and transaction related costs for transactions not completed and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures includes expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, impairment losses, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense. We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As with FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. 17 The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO to AFFO.

Cash Flow A summary of our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: Year Ended 2017 2016 Net cash provided by operating activities.......................................................................................................................... $ Net cash used in investing activities ..................................................................................................................................... $ Net cash provided by financing activities.......................................................................................................................... $ 7,581 $ (173,891) $ 178,284 $ 220 (1,632) 1,655 Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased approximately $7,361 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and depreciation expense, offset by a decrease in deferred interest during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased approximately $172,259 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily due to the acquisitions of real estate properties, offset by the proceeds from the 2016 joint venture sale. Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased approximately $176,629 due to the net cash proceeds of $52,559 from our Offering, net borrowings under our line of credit in the amount of $21,325, proceeds from the MWG portfolio loan of $79,800, net cash proceeds from the Company’s issuance of Series A Preferred stock of $48,931, partially offset by the repayment of the preferred member interest of $20,000 as well as dividends paid of $1,755 and debt issuance costs of $2,576. Liquidity and Capital Resources 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 investments. Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, including: interest expense on outstanding indebtedness; • property expenses that are not borne by our tenants under our leases; • • general and administrative expenses; and • capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions. In addition, we will require funds for future dividends required to be paid on our Series A Preferred Stock. We intend to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash, cash flow from operating activities and the net proceeds of any potential future offerings. Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, 18 long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, future issuances of equity and debt securities, property dispositions and joint venture transactions, and, in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, the issuance of OP units. Existing Indebtedness AIG Loan On October 17, 2016, certain indirect subsidiaries of our operating partnership entered into a senior secured loan agreement with investment entities managed by AIG Asset Management, or the AIG Loan Agreement, which provides for a loan of $120 million, or the AIG Loan, bearing interest at 4.08% per annum, and a seven-year term maturing in October, 2023. As of December 31, 2017, there was $120 million outstanding under the AIG Loan Agreement. The AIG Loan Agreement provides for monthly payments of interest only for the first three years of the term and thereafter monthly principal and interest payments based on a 27-year amortization period. Our operating partnership used the net proceeds of the AIG Loan to partially repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under our then-existing senior secured loan agreement with Torchlight. As of December 31, 2017, we are in compliance with all covenants under the AIG Loan Agreement. The borrowings under the AIG Loan Agreement are secured by first lien mortgages on the 20 properties held by wholly- owned subsidiaries of Plymouth Industrial 20, LLC. The obligations under the AIG Loan Agreement are also guaranteed by our company and certain of our operating partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Torchlight Mezzanine Loan On October 17, 2016, Plymouth Industrial 20, a subsidiary of our operating partnership, entered into a mezzanine loan agreement, or the Torchlight Mezzanine Loan Agreement, with Torchlight, which provides for a loan of $30 million, or the Torchlight Mezzanine Loan. The Torchlight Mezzanine Loan has a seven-year term maturing in October, 2023 and bears interest at 15% per annum, of which 7% percent is paid currently during the first four years of the term and 10% is paid for the remainder of the term. The Torchlight Mezzanine Loan requires Plymouth Industrial 20 to pay a repayment premium equal to the difference between (x) the sum of 150% of the principal being repaid (excluding accrued interest) and (y) the sum of the actual principal amount being repaid and current and accrued interest paid through the date of repayment. This repayment feature operates as a prepayment feature since the difference will be zero at maturity. The borrowings under the Torchlight Mezzanine Loan are secured by, among other things, pledges of the equity interest in Plymouth Industrial 20 and each of its property-owning subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Torchlight Mezzanine Loan were used to partially repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under our then-existing senior secured loan agreement. As of December 31, 2017, there was $30 million outstanding under the Torchlight Mezzanine Loan. KeyBank Credit Agreement On August 11, 2017 the Company’s operating partnership entered into a secured line of credit agreement (Line of Credit Agreement) with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank and the other lenders, which matures in August 2020 with an optional extension through August 2021, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Line of Credit Agreement bear interest at either (1) the base rate (determined from the highest of (a) KeyBank’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (2) LIBOR, plus, in either case, a spread between 250 and 300 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio. The Line of Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain coverage and leverage ratios and certain amounts of minimum net worth as well meet certain affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. The Company is in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2017. The Line of Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets of the Company’s operating partnership and certain of its subsidiaries and includes a Company guarantee for the payment of all indebtedness under the Secured Line of Credit Agreement. Borrowings outstanding amounted to $21,325 at December 31, 2017. Borrowings available under the Line of Credit Agreement amounted to $12,435, net of an outstanding letter of credit totaling $93, at December 31, 2017. MWG Portfolio Secured Term Loan On November 30, 2017, certain of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement, the MWG Loan Agreement, with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC, as lender and agent, which provides for a loan of $79.8 million, bearing interest for the first year at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.10% and for the second year at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.35%. The MWG Loan Agreement matures in November 2019 and has one, 12-month extension option, subject to certain conditions. The borrowings under the MWG Loan Agreement are secured by first lien mortgages on the 15 properties held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Plymouth MWG Holdings, LLC. In addition, the obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the company and certain of our operating partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The MWG Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type. The MWG Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the borrowers to maintain a minimum ratio of net cash flow to the outstanding principal balance under the loan agreement. 19 In the event of a default by the Borrowers, the agent may declare all obligations under the MWG Loan Agreement immediately due and payable and enforce any and all rights of the lender or the agent under the MWG Loan Agreement and related documents. As of December 31, 2017, there was $79.8 million outstanding under the MWG Loan Agreement. Contractual Obligations and Commitments The following table sets forth our principal obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2017: Future Minimum Rents ($ in thousands) Corporate Office 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter $ 359 $ 378 $ 385 $ 393 $ 401 $ 925 In addition to the contractual obligations set forth in the table above, we have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers. As approved by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors the agreements provide for base salaries ranging from $200 to $300 annually with discretionary cash performance awards. The agreements contain provisions for equity awards, general benefits, and termination and severance provisions, consistent with similar positions and companies. We also enter into contracts for maintenance and other services at certain properties from time to time. Redeemable Preferred Member Interests On October 17, 2016, and in connection with its refinancing of its Senior Loan with Torchlight, the Company issued Torchlight a 99.5% redeemable preferred member interest in 20 LLC in exchange for $30,553. The redeemable preferred member interest was redeemed in full as of June 14, 2017. The redemption resulted in elimination of the non-controlling interest and an adjustment to equity (deficit) in the amount of $56,795. An adjustment to the redemption price in the first quarter of 2017 was deemed a non-cash capital contribution in the amount of $1,019. The Company had classified this amount as a liability in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480). Because the member interest was mandatorily redeemable, the Company concluded that the required redemption of that interest represented a continuing interest in the properties and therefore, the issuance of the redeemable preferred member interest represented a financing of 20 LLC and not a sale of the properties. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. Interest Rate Risk ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly known as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities), requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders equity. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. Inflation The majority of our leases are either triple net or provide for tenant reimbursement for costs related to real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and tenant payment of taxes and expenses described above. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Standards We have reviewed all recently issued standards and have determined that, other than as disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing in this annual report on Form 10-K, such standards will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or do not otherwise apply to our operations. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk This disclosure has been omitted as permitted under rules applicable to smaller reporting companies. 20 ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The information with respect to this Item 8 is hereby incorporated by reference from our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the forms and rules of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO, in a manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-K, our management, including the CEO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017. As described below, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. (b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: • • • pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time. The Company is a non-accelerated filer and is not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Accordingly, this Annual Report does not contain an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, since the rules for smaller reporting companies provide for this exemption. As of December 31, 2017, management has not completed a proper evaluation, risk assessment and monitoring of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, that our internal controls and procedures were not effective. The specific material weaknesses that management identified in our internal controls as of December 31, 2017 is as follows: • Due to limited financial and accounting resources the Company has not sufficiently documented procedures and risk assessment analysis or fully tested existing controls to meet the requirements of COSO’s 2013 framework. Company’s management concluded that in light of the material weakness described above, our Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 based on the criteria set forth in the 2013 framework issued by the COSO. 21 (c) Remediation In order to remediate this deficiency, during the fourth quarter of 2017 the Company initiated a full review and evaluation of key processes, procedures and completion of documentation that can be monitored and tested independently. Management expects the remediation activities to be completed in 2018. If the remedial measures described above are insufficient to address 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. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

F-23 F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in preferred stock and equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(b) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Marcum LLP Marcum LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013.

Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation Business Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc., (the “Company” or the “REIT”) is a Maryland corporation formed on March 7, 2011. The Company is a full service, vertically integrated, self-administered and self-managed organization. The Company is focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of single and multi-tenant Class B industrial properties, including distribution centers, warehouses and light industrial properties, primarily located in secondary and select primary markets across the U.S. As of December 31, 2017, the Company through its subsidiaries owns 49 industrial properties comprising approximately 9.2 million square feet. The Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) of common stock (Offering) on June 14, 2017, which resulted in the issuance of 3,060,000 shares of common stock, including 160,000 shares of the underwriters’ over-allotment exercised on July 12, 2017, at $19.00 per share in exchange for gross proceeds of $58,140 and $52,559, net of offering costs. The Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Offering to redeem $20,000 of $25,000 non-controlling interest held by Torchlight. The Company issued 263,158 shares at $19.00 per share issued in a private placement with Torchlight, which occurred contemporaneously with the Offering, for the redemption of the remaining $5,000 non-controlling interest. On October 25, 2017, the Company completed the offering of 2,040,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including 240,000 shares of the underwriter’s over-allotment exercised on November 13, 2017, in exchange for net proceeds of $48,931.

Basis of Presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2016 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on 2016 consolidated net loss. 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 the allocation of tangible and intangible assets or business acquisitions, impairments of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and its common stock warrants liability. 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. 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. Risks and Uncertainties The state of the overall economy can significantly impact the Company’s operational performance and thus impact its financial position. Should the Company experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect the Company’s ability to make distributions to its stockholders, service debt, or meet other financial obligations. F-8 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Liquidity and Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s 2016 financial statements included a statement indicating substantial doubt with regard to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2016. The Company believes that the net proceeds of the Offering along with the net proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, and borrowings of $12,435 available under the line of credit have removed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes the cash on hand at December 31, 2017, available borrowings under its line of credit and cash expected to be provided by future operating activities will allow the Company to meet its obligations through March 31, 2019. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and policy elections on the impact for forfeitures. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in fiscal year 2017 and its adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for operating leases and changes many key definitions, including the definition of a lease. The update includes a short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less, in which a lessee can make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply as well as transition guidance specific to nonstandard leasing transactions. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, and plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2019. At December 31, 2017, we have one office space lease that will require us to measure and record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability upon adoption of the standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), to address diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016- 18”). The ASU requires an entity to explain the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and to provide a reconciliation of the totals in that statement to the related captions in the balance sheet when the cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is required to be adopted using a retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. The Company has determined the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 will result in the inclusion of restricted cash in total cash and in the determination of changes in cash in its statements of cash flows. The presentation of restricted cash on the balance sheet will remain the same. Restricted cash amounted to $1,174 at December 31, 2017. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Key differences between business combinations and asset acquisitions include: Transaction costs are capitalized in an asset acquisition but expensed in a business combination. Identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests are generally recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value in a business combination, but are measured by allocating the cost of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis in an asset acquisition. Public business entities should apply the amendments to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-01 for acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2017. Acquisition costs capitalized since adoption of ASU 2017-01 for the year ending December 31, 2017 was approximately $5,470. F-9 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides updated guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award would require an entity to apply modification accounting under the topic. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity recognizes revenue to represent the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued additional ASUs which provide practical expedients, technical corrections and clarification of the new standard. ASC 606 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASC 606 permits the use of either the full retrospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. We will adopt ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. As part of our assessment and implementation of ASC 606, we evaluated each of our revenue streams to determine the sources of revenue that are impacted by ASC 606. We evaluated the impact of ASC 606 on the timing and pattern of revenue recognition and determined there was no change as compared to current accounting practice. Accordingly, we do not expect the adoption of ASC 606 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Segments The Company has one reportable segment–industrial properties. These properties have similar economic characteristics and also meet the other criteria that permit the properties to be aggregated into one reportable segment. Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables and Rental Revenue Components Minimum rental income from real estate operations is recognized on a straight-line basis. The straight-line rent calculation on leases includes the effects of rent concessions and scheduled rent increases, and the calculated straight-line rent income is recognized over the lives of the individual leases. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and straight-line rents receivable, based upon estimates determined by management. Management specifically analyzes aged receivables, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company did not recognize an allowance for doubtful accounts. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, rental income was derived from various tenants. As such, future receipts are dependent upon the financial strength of the lessees and their ability to perform under the lease agreements. For the year ending December 31, 2017 there were no tenants that represented 10% or greater of rental revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2016, there were two tenants, Pier One and Perseus, who represented 10% or greater of rental revenue, 12.7% and 10%, respectively. Rental revenue and tenant recoveries is comprised of the following: Income from lease ........................................................................................................................ $ Straight-line rent adjustment ........................................................................................................ Reimbursable expenses ................................................................................................................ Amortization of above market leases ...........................................................................................

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company maintains cash and restricted cash, which includes tenant security deposits and cash collateral for its borrowings discussed in Note 5, cash held in escrow for real estate tax, insurance and tenant capital improvement and leasing commissions, in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk of loss. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies various valuation approaches in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows: Level 1— Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3— Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary among the various types of financial assets and liabilities. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for financial statement disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs are applied in determining the fair value of warrants to purchase common stock in the amount of $160 at December 31, 2017. See Note 8. Financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, cash held in escrow and reserves, accounts receivable, senior secured debt, mezzanine debt to investor and deferred interest, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities and prevailing interest rates. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are reflected as a reduction to the respective loan amounts in the form of a debt discount. Amortization of this expense is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Debt issuance costs amounted to $6,475 and $4,799 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and related accumulated amortization amounted to $982 and $113 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Unamortized debt issuance costs amounted to $5,493 and $4,686 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock Based Compensation The Company grants stock based compensation awards to our employees and directors typically in the form of restricted shares of common stock. The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation in accordance with ASU 2016- 09, Compensation — Stock Compensation Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Company measures stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date and recognizes the expense ratably over the vesting period. Forfeitures of unvested shares are recognized in the period the forfeiture occurs. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with members. There was no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. F-11 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Earnings per Share The Company follows the two-class methold when computing net loss per common share as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share since the Company does not have any common stock equivalents such as stock options. The warrants are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as they are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its financial statements, and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company considers the issuance of member interests in entities that hold its properties under the guidance of ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360), and ASC 976, Real Estate, (ASC 976) as referenced by ASC 810, Consolidation, (ASC 810). See Note 10. Income Taxes The Company has operated in a manner that allows it to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The Company filed its initial Form 1120-REIT as its tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2012. The Company utilizes an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure with the intent to hold properties and securities through an Operating Partnership. The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and has operated as such beginning with the tax year ending December 31, 2012. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its 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, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it 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 tax years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless it can obtain relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company intends to continue to operate in a manner that allows it to qualify for treatment as a REIT. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s income tax returns is generally three years and as such, the Company’s returns that remain subject to examination would be primarily from 2014 and thereafter. Accrued interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense, if the Company records a liability in the future. As is more fully described in Note 7, the refinancing transaction that took place on October 17, 2016 resulted in the Company realizing cancellation of indebtedness income of $62,751 for income tax purposes. Cancellation of indebtedness income is includable in the gross income of all taxpayers under the Internal Revenue Code. The inclusion of $62,751 of cancellation of indebtedness income in the Company’s 2016 gross income would potentially result in federal alternative minimum tax and various state and local income taxes. However, according to the Internal Revenue Code, due to the Company’s insolvency both before and after the debt refinancing transaction, cancellation of indebtedness income is excluded from the gross income of a taxpayer if the taxpayer is insolvent when the discharge takes place. As a condition of excluding cancellation of indebtedness income from the gross income, a taxpayer must reduce certain tax attributes, such as its net operating losses (NOL). To the extent the Company does not utilize the full amount of the annual federal NOLs, the unused amount may normally be carried forward for 20 years to offset taxable income in future years. The Company had federal NOL carryforwards originating from 2012 through 2016 of approximately $29,224, inclusive of the $62,751 cancellation of indebtedness that took place on October 17, 2016. The Company incurred a federal taxable loss during 2017 of approximately $2,951, resulting in net operating loss carryforwards to 2018 of approximately $32,175. The Company’s net tax basis of real estate assets amounted to $324,654 and $150,506 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. F-12 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Real Estate Property Acquisitions In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB), ASC 805-10 “Business Combinations”, the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company has implemented ASU 2017-01 as of July 2017 and has concluded that the acquisition of properties will be accounted for as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination. The significant difference between the two accounting models is that within an acquisition of assets, acquisition costs are capitalized as a cost of the assets, whereas in a business combination acquisition costs are expensed and not included as part of the consideration transferred. The accounting for real estate property acquisitions requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired property, the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, and in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The amounts allocated to lease intangibles (leases in place, leasing commissions, tenant relationships, and above and below market leases) are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including independent third party analysis and market data and are generally amortized over the remaining life of the related leases excluding renewal options, except in the case of below market fixed rate rent amounts, which are amortized over the applicable renewal period. Such inputs are Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Real Estate and Depreciation Real estate properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of buildings and other improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets, which generally range from 11 to 34 years for buildings and 3 to 13 years for site improvements. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the affected assets are reduced to their fair value. Building improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Amortization of Deferred Lease Intangibles - Assets and Liabilities Deferred lease intangible assets consist of leases in place, leasing commissions, tenant relationships, and above market leases. Deferred lease Intangible liabilities represent below market leases. These intangibles have been recorded at their fair market value in connection with the acquisition of properties. Intangible assets are generally amortized over the remaining life of the related leases excluding renewal options, except in the case of below market fixed rate rent amounts, which are amortized over the applicable renewal period. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review our real estate assets for recoverability, the Company considers current market conditions, as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. Our intent with regard to the underlying assets might change as market conditions change, as well as other factors. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property and quoted market values and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property. The Company has determined there is no impairment of value of long lived assets. Equity Method of Accounting The Company accounted for its 50.3% investment in a real estate joint venture made in 2013, whose property was sold in 2016, under the equity method of accounting since the Company did not, and does not, control but had the ability to exercise significant influence on the entity. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recognized its proportional share of net income or loss as determined under GAAP in our results of operations. The Company has no investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting at December 31, 2017. As a result of the sale of the property in 2016 by the joint venture and subsequent liquidation in 2017, the Company recorded a gain on investment of $231 and $2,846 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Non-controlling Interests As further discussed in Note 10, the Company has issued non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries. The net loss attributable to the non-controlling interests is presented in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the date of initial acquisition. F-13 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Controlling Interests The Company determines whether it holds a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether it is required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity. Where the Company holds current or potential rights that give it the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance combined with a variable interest that gives it the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, the Company is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. When changes occur to the design of an entity, the Company reconsiders whether it is subject to the VIE model. The Company continuously evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE. To the extent the Company is not required to apply the VIE model, the Company follows the control model for consolidation purposes and considers instances whether its ownership exceeds 50% of the voting rights of the entity and whether other investors have liquidating, kick-out or substantive participating rights. With respect to in substance real estate transactions, the Company considers guidance of ASC 360 and ASC 976, as referenced by ASC 810, for issuance of membership interests prior to any deconsolidation of assets. See Note 10. 3. Reverse Stock Split On May 1, 2017, the Company amended its charter and effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split with respect to all then- outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. All per share amounts and number of shares in the financial statements and related notes have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. 4.

The Company issued non-controlling interests to a financial investor and lender, Torchlight, in newly established legal entities to hold the properties owned by the REIT. Specifically, the Company refinanced its Senior Loan with Torchlight, which had a carrying value of $237,751 as of that date, through the following steps: • The Company, through its newly created subsidiary 20 LLC, borrowed $120,000 in the form of a senior secured loan from investment entities managed by AIG Asset Management (the “AIG Loan”). The Company used the net proceeds of these borrowings to reduce the Senior Loan with Torchlight. • The Company, through 20 LLC, issued a mezzanine term loan (“Mezzanine Loan”) in the amount of $30,000 to an investment fund controlled by Torchlight, in satisfaction of $30,000 of the Senior Loan with Torchlight. • The Company, through 20 LLC, issued a 99.5% redeemable preferred member interest in 20 LLC in the amount of $30,553 to an affiliate of Torchlight in satisfaction of $30,553 of the Senior Loan with Torchlight. The value of the consideration transferred by the Company to Torchlight totaled $175,000 which consisted of (a) net cash transferred of $114,447, (b) debt satisfied in the amount of $30,000 through the issuance of the Mezzanine Loan and (c) the debt satisfied in the amount of $30,553 through the issuance of the redeemable preferred member interest. The Company accounted for the difference between the carrying value of the Senior Loan of $237,751 and the value of the consideration transferred of $175,000, or $62,751 as a capital contribution pursuant to the guidelines of ASC 470-50-40-2 since the refinancing was between the Company and Torchlight, a related party. The terms of the refinanced debt are discussed below and the terms of the redeemable preferred member interest in 20 LLC are discussed in Note 10. $120,000 AIG Loan Certain indirect subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership have entered into a senior secured loan agreement with investment entities managed by AIG Asset Management (the “AIG Loan”). As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was $120,000 of indebtedness outstanding under the AIG Loan. The AIG Loan bears interest at 4.08% per annum and has a seven-year term maturing in October, 2023. The AIG Loan provides for monthly payments of interest only for the first three years of the term and thereafter monthly principal and interest payments based on a 27-year amortization period. The borrowings under the AIG Loan are secured by first lien mortgages on the 20 LLC properties. The obligations under the AIG Loan are also guaranteed by our Company and each of our Operating Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The AIG Loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on additional indebtedness, restrictions on liens, fundamental changes, dispositions, restricted payments, change in nature of business, transactions with affiliates and burdensome agreements. The AIG Loan contains financial covenants that require minimum liquidity and Net Worth. The AIG Loan is subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of defaults, including breaches of representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness, failure to pay taxes or a change of control of our company, as defined in the senior secured loan agreement. The Company is in compliance with the respective covenants. The Company has no right to prepay all or any part of the AIG Loan before November 1, 2019. Following that date, the AIG Loan can only be paid in full, and a prepayment penalty would be assessed, as defined in the agreement. F-16 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 7. Borrowing Arrangements (continued) The borrowings amounted to $116,700 and $116,053, net of $3,300 and $3,947 of unamortized debt issuance costs at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. MWG Portfolio Secured Term Loan On November 30, 2017, certain of our indirect subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement, the MWG Loan Agreement, with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC, as lender and agent, which provides for a loan of $79,800, bearing interest for the first year at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.10% and for the second year at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.35%. The MWG Loan Agreement matures in November, 2019 and has one, 12-month extension option, subject to certain conditions. The borrowings under the MWG Loan Agreement are secured by first lien mortgages on the 15 properties held by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Plymouth MWG Holdings LLC. In addition, the obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the company and certain of our operating partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The MWG Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. The MWG Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the borrowers to maintain a minimum ratio of net cash flow (less management fees) to the outstanding principal balance under the loan agreement of at least 9.0%. In the event of a default by the Borrowers, the agent may declare all obligations under the MWG Loan Agreement immediately due and payable and enforce any and all rights of the lender or the agent under the MWG Loan Agreement and related documents. The Company is in compliance with the respective covenants. Borrowings outstanding amounted to $78,731, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,069 at December 31, 2017. $30,000 Mezzanine Loan 20 LLC has entered into a mezzanine loan agreement with Torchlight as partial payment of its prior Senior Loan. The Mezzanine Loan has an original principal amount of $30,000, and bears interest at 15% per annum, of which 7% percent is paid currently during the first four years of the term and 10% is paid for the remainder of the term, and matures in October, 2023. Unpaid interest accrues and is added to the outstanding principal amount of the loan. The Mezzanine Loan requires borrower to pay a prepayment premium equal to the difference between (1) the sum of 150% of the principal being repaid (excluding the accrued interest) and (2) the sum of the actual principal amount being repaid and current and accrued interest paid through the date of repayment. This repayment feature operates as a prepayment feature since the difference between (1) and (2) will be zero at maturity. As additional consideration for the Mezzanine Loan, 20 LLC granted Torchlight under the Mezzanine Loan, a profit participation in the form of the right to receive 25% of net income and capital proceeds generated by the Company Portfolio following debt service payments and associated costs (the “TL Participation”). The TL Participation was terminated as of June 14, 2017 in consideration of the Company issuing warrants to Torchlight to acquire 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $23.00 per share. The warrants have a five-year term and are more fully discussed in Note 8. The profit participation was zero for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The borrowings under the Mezzanine Loan are secured by, among other things, pledges of the equity interest in 20 LLC and each of its property-owning subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Mezzanine Loan amounted to $29,364 and $29,262, net of $636 and $738 of unamortized debt issuance costs at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deferred interest amounted to $1,357 and $207 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets. Line of Credit Agreement On August 11, 2017 the Company’s operating partnership entered into a secured line of credit agreement (Line of Credit Agreement) with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank and the other lenders, which matures in August 2020 with an optional extension through August 2021, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Line of Credit Agreement bear interest at either (1) the base rate (determined from the highest of (a) KeyBank’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) or (2) LIBOR, plus, in either case, a spread between 250 and 300 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio. F-17 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 7. Borrowing Arrangements (continued) The Line of Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain coverage and leverage ratios and certain amounts of minimum net worth as well meet certain affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to use of proceeds, indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates. The Company is in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2017. The Line of Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets of the Company’s operating partnership and certain of its subsidiaries and includes a Company’s guarantee for the payment of all indebtedness under the Secured Line of Credit Agreement. Borrowings outstanding amounted to $20,837, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $488 at December 31, 2017. Borrowings available under the Line of Credit Agreement amounted to $12,435, net of a letter of credit totaling $93, at December 31, 2017. Principal payments on the Company’s long-term debt due in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter as of December 31, 2017 are as follows: Year ending December 31: 2018 ............................................................................................................................................................................. $ 2019 ............................................................................................................................................................................. 2020 ............................................................................................................................................................................. 2021 ............................................................................................................................................................................. 2022 .............................................................................................................................................................................

Common Stock Common Stock Warrants On June 14, 2017, the Company issued warrants to Torchlight to acquire 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $23.00 per share, which expire in 2022. The warrants were accounted for as a liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as they contain provisions that are considered outside of the Company’s control, such as the holders’ option to receive cash in lieu and other securities in the event of a reorganization of the Company’s common stock underlying such warrants. The fair value of these warrants is re- measured at each financial reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized as a change in fair value of warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Common Stock (continued) Characterization of Common Stock Dividends (unaudited) Earnings and profits (as defined under the Internal Revenue Code), the current and accumulated amounts of which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, vary from net income attributable to common stockholders and taxable income because of the different depreciation recovery periods, depreciation methods, and other items. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally constitute a return of capital. The following table shows the characterization of the distributions on the Company’s common stock for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Series A Preferred Stock In the fourth quarter of 2017, we completed the offering of 2,040,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including 240,000 shares exercised under the underwriter’s over-allotment, at a per share price of $25.00 for net cash proceeds of $48,931. The offering of the Series A Preferred Stock was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 declared effective on October 18, 2017. The relevant features of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows: Liquidation Rights In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock, an amount per share equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Redemption Rights Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem for cash, their shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the event of a change in control of the Company or a delisting of the Company’s shares. Since this contingent redemption right is outside of the control of the Company, the Company has presented its Series A Preferred Stock as temporary equity. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at its option commencing on December 31, 2022 at $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company also has the right to redeem for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the event of a change in control of the Company or a delisting of the Company’s shares. Conversion The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible. Voting Rights Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock generally do not have any voting rights, except in the event dividends are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), the number of directors of the Company’s board of directors will automatically be increased by two and holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with the holders of any other then-outstanding class or series of capital stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, or collectively, any Voting Preferred Stock and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors to serve on our board of directors, until all unpaid dividends for past dividend periods shall have been paid in full. Protective Rights As long as the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company cannot, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class with any voting preferred stock, among other things, authorize, create or issue, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or reclassify any of our authorized capital stock into such capital stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase such capital stock.

Series A Preferred Stock (continued) Dividend Rights When, as and if authorized by our board of directors, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends from, and including, the issue date, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on December 31, 2017 until December 31, 2024, at the rate of 7.5% per annum on the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to a fixed annual rate of $1.875 per share (“Initial Rate”)). On and after December 31, 2024, if any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will pay cumulative cash dividends on each then-outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual dividend rate equal to the Initial Rate plus an additional 1.5% of the liquidation preference per annum, which will increase by an additional 1.5% of the liquidation preference per annum on each subsequent December 31 thereafter, subject to a maximum annual dividend rate of 11.5% while the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding. On December 1, 2017, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.46875 per Series A preferred share payable to stockholders of record on December 15, 2017.

Non-Controlling Interests Non-controlling Interests Previously Held by Torchlight As discussed in Note 1, and in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s debt on October 17, 2016, the Company established the following subsidiaries: Plymouth Industrial 20 Financial LLC The REIT through its operating partnership Plymouth Industrial OP, LP is the sole member of Plymouth Industrial 20 Financial LLC. Plymouth Industrial 20 LLC (20 LLC) The REIT through Plymouth Industrial 20 Financial LLC, was the managing member in 20 LLC with a 0.5% ownership interest. An affiliate of Torchlight held the remaining 99.5% interest in 20 LLC. This 99.5% interest was redeemed on June 14, 2017 by the REIT and 20 LLC is now a single member LLC with Plymouth Industrial 20 Financial LLC as the sole member. The proportionate share of the loss attributed to the non-controlling interest held by Torchlight was $4,674 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The redemption resulted in elimination of the non-controlling interest and an adjustment to equity (deficit) in the amount of $56,795. An adjustment to the redemption price in the first quarter was deemed a non-cash capital contribution in the amount of $1,019. The Company included $5,582 in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 as it represented collateral for the preferred member interest. The amount was released from restricted cash in February, 2017 and was applied to the redeemable preferred member interest. F-20 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 10. Non-Controlling Interests (continued) 20 Individual LLC’s for Properties The individual LLC’s which hold the properties associated with the partnership interests are wholly owned subsidiaries of 20 LLC. In connection with the redemption of the preferred member interest on June 14, 2017 the Company acquired the non- controlling interest in Plymouth Industrial 20 LLC and therefore, the 20 individual properties. Operating Partnership Units Acquisitions In connections with the acquisition of the Shadeland Portfolio on August 11, 2017 as discussed in Note 5, the Company, through is Operating Partnership issued 421,438 Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) at $19.00 per OP Unit for a total of approximately $8,007 to the former owners of the Shadeland Portfolio. The holders of the OP Units are entitled to receive distributions concurrent with the dividends paid on our common stock. A pro-rated distribution equal to a quarterly distribution of $.3750 per OP Unit or $88 in the aggregate for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was paid October 31, 2017. The proportionate share of the loss attributed to the partnership units was $646 for the year ended December 31, 2017. 11. Incentive Award Plan In April 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and in June 2014 the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2014 Incentive Award Plan, or Plan, under which the Company may grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible service providers in order to attract, motivate and retain the talent for which we compete. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock and/or LTIP units of partnership interest in the Company’s Operating Partnership, or LTIP units that are available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the Plan is 750,000 shares/LTIP units. Shares and units granted under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares/LTIP units, or, if authorized by the board of directors, shares purchased in the open market. If an award under the Plan is forfeited, expires or is settled for cash, any shares/LTIP units subject to such award may, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement, be used again for new grants under the Plan. However, the following shares/LTIP units may not be used again for grant under the Plan: (1) shares/LTIP units tendered or withheld to satisfy grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligations associated with an award; (2) shares subject to a stock appreciation right, or SAR, that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR on its exercise; and (3) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of incentive stock options is 750,000. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options, or ISOs, and nonqualified stock options, or NSOs, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance shares, other incentive awards, LTIP units, SARs, and cash awards. In addition, the Company will grant its Directors restricted stock as part of their remuneration. Shares granted as part of the Plan vest equally over a four-year period while those granted to the Company’s Directors vest equally over a three-year period. Holders of restricted shares of common stock have voting rights and rights to receive dividends, however, the restricted shares of common stock may not be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged and are subject to forfeiture prior to the respective vesting period. The following table is a summary of the total restricted shares granted for the year ended December 31, 2017: Unvested restricted stock at January 1, 2017 Granted ................................................................................................................................................................ Forfeited ...............................................................................................................................................................

Unvested restricted stock at December 31, 2017 ................................................................................................. Shares — 164,078 — (921) 163,157 The Company recorded equity-based compensation in the amount of $435 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Equity-based compensation expense for shares issued to employers and directors is based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite period of the award. The unrecognized compensation expense associated with the Company’s restricted shares of common stock at December 31, 2017 was approximately $2,683 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.5 years. The weighted average fair value of the 164,078 restricted shares granted was approximately $3,114 with a weighted average fair value of $18.98 per share. The fair value related to the restricted stock was calculated based on the stock price on the date of the grant. F-21 Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc.

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders .............................................................. $ 2,149,977 331,965 (4.45) $ (111.42) The Company uses the two-class method of computing earnings per common share in which participating securities are included within the basic EPS calculation. The amount allocated to participating securities is according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid). The restricted stock does not have any participatory rights in undistributed earnings. Our unvested shares of restricted stock are accounted for as participating securities as they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In periods where there is a net loss, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company’s potential dilutive securities include the 250,000 shares of common stock warrants and 164,078 shares of restricted common stock. The stock warrants and restricted common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as the effect of including them would reduce the net loss per share. 13.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 14. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) Employment Agreements The Company has entered into employment agreements with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Investment Officer, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. As approved by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors the agreements provide for base salaries ranging from $200 to $300 annually with discretionary cash performance awards. The agreements contain provisions for equity awards, general benefits, and termination and severance provisions, consistent with similar positions and companies. Legal Proceedings The Company is not currently party to any material legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings. Contingent Liability In conjunction with the issuance of the OP Units for the Shadeland Portfolio acquisition, the agreement contains a provision for the Company to provide tax protection to the holders if the acquired properties are sold in a transaction that would result in the recognition of taxable income or gain prior to the sixth anniversary of the acquisition. The Company intends to hold this investment and has no plans to sell or transfer any interest that would give rise to a taxable transaction. 15. Retirement Plan The Company in December, 2014 established an individual SEP IRA retirement account plan for all employees. The Company has accrued a contribution for 2017 in the amount of $260 and an amount of $264 for 2016, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company has no control or administrative responsibility related to the individual accounts and is not obligated to fund in future years. 16. Subsequent Events On March 1, 2018 the board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.46875 per share, or an annualized dividend of $1.875 per share, for the company’s 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the first quarter of 2018. The dividend is payable on April 2, 2018, to stockholders of record on March 15, 2018. On March 5, 2018 we entered into an amendment with KeyBank to increase the existing line of credit to $45,000. All other terms remained unchanged.
