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.

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.

Triple-net lease. In our triple-net leases, the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its
operation during the lease term. The landlord may have responsibility under the lease to perform or pay for certain capital repairs
or replacements to the roof, structure or certain building systems, such as heating and air conditioning and fire suppression. The
tenant may have the right to terminate the lease or abate rent due to a major casualty or condemnation affecting a significant
portion of the property or due to the landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under the lease. As of December 31, 2017, there
were 64 triple-net leases in the Company Portfolio, representing approximately 75.6% of our total annualized base rent.
Modified triple-net lease. In our modified triple-net leases, the landlord is responsible for some property related expenses
during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant. The tenant may have the right to
terminate the lease or abate rent due to a major casualty or condemnation affecting a significant portion of the property or due to
the landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under the lease. As of December 31, 2017, there were 11 modified triple-net leases
in the Company Portfolio, representing approximately 13.8% of our total annualized base rent.
Gross lease. In our gross leases, the landlord is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its
operation during the lease term. The tenant may have the right to terminate the lease or abate rent due to a major casualty or
condemnation affecting a significant portion of the property or due to the landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under the
lease. As of December 31, 2017, there were 16 gross leases in the Company Portfolio, representing approximately 10.6% of the
annualized base rent.
Lease Expirations
As of December 31, 2017, the weighted average in-place remaining lease term of the Company Portfolio was 3.1 years. The
following table sets forth a summary schedule of lease expirations for leases in place as of December 31, 2017, plus available
space, for each of the ten full calendar years commencing December 31, 2017 and thereafter. The information set forth in the
table assumes that tenants exercise no renewal options and no early termination rights.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we could become party to legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally
incidental to our business. While it will likely not be possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management
expects that the resolution of any such legal actions and proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
There are no legal proceedings at this time.

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.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

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.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, we negotiated 12 leases with durations in excess of six months
encompassing 459,690 square feet and negotiated one lease with a duration of less than six months encompassing 21,153 square
feet. 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.

Conditions in Our Markets
The Company Portfolio is located primarily in various secondary markets in the eastern half of the U.S. Positive or negative
changes in economic or other conditions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters in these markets are likely to affect our
overall performance.
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.

Rental Revenue: Rental revenue increased by approximately $3,864 to $18,372 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as
compared to $14,508 for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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.

Gain on disposition of equity investment: Gain on disposition of equity investment represents amounts received in excess of
our basis for an equity investment in real estate liquidated in 2016. 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:

We believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is helpful to investors as a
supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating
results of our industrial properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers.

FFO
Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating
performance. 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:

AFFO
Adjusted funds from operation, or AFFO, is presented in addition to FFO. 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.

(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:

Thereafter

$ 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.

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.

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.

1. 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.
The Company used substantially all of the proceeds to acquire the industrial properties described in Note 5. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the following entities:

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

On October 17, 2016, the Company completed a reorganization of its subsidiary structure in connection with the refinancing
of the Company’s existing debt. 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.

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

Borrowings under the Mezzanine Loan amounted to $29,364 and $29,262, net of $636 and $738 of unamortized debt

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

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:

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.
A roll-forward of the common stock warrants is as follows:

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. The Company did not pay any dividends prior to its initial

9. 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.

9. 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. The initial dividend was pro-rated to $0.3542 to reflect the period
commencing October 25, 2017, the original issuance date, and ending December 31, 2017 and was paid on January 2, 2018 in the
aggregate amount of $723. The dividend amount of $723 was deposited with the transfer agent as of December 31, 2017.
The following table shows the characterization of the distributions on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock for the year
ended December 31, 2017. The Company did not pay any dividends prior to the offering of its Series A Preferred Stock offering

10. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
