PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

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

All references to “the Company” refer to Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company has operated in a manner that will allow 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 to hold all or substantially all of its properties and securities through its operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership").

On March 11, 2011, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock to Plymouth Group Real Estate, LLC (the “Sponsor”), at a price of $200,000, or $10 per share. As of April 15, 2014, the Company has 1,272,697 shares outstanding for gross offering proceeds of $11.246 million.

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

On January 9, 2014, at the recommendation of our Advisor and following the approval of our board of directors, the Company terminated its initial public offering, effective May 6, 2014.

In conjunction with the termination of the initial public offering, our board of directors also voted to terminate our distribution reinvestment plan and our share redemption plan effective May 6, 2014.

On January 9, 2014, our board of directors authorized our Advisor to negotiate an engagement letter with a nationally recognized investment bank for financial advisory services in connection with pursuing strategic alternatives for the Company, including a possible listed public offering. The Company can provide no assurances that it will actually enter into an engagement letter or be able to effect any strategic alternatives.

Investment Objectives

We are acquiring and operating a portfolio of commercial real estate assets that are expected to provide consistent current income and may also provide capital appreciation resulting from our expectation that in certain circumstances we will be able to acquire properties at a discount to replacement cost or otherwise less than the anticipated market value or to expend capital to reposition or redevelop a property so as to increase its value over the amount of cash we paid to acquire and rehabilitate the property. In particular, we plan to diversify our portfolio by property type, geographic region, investment size and investment risk with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income producing real estate properties and real estate related assets that provide attractive returns for our investors. Our Advisor intends to focus on markets that our Advisor determines demonstrate sustainable value and/or growth potential and on those sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. As of December 31, 2013, we had not identified any particular markets or asset types on which we intend to focus, and the exact markets and asset types that will ultimately be targeted by our Advisor will depend upon its evaluation of property prices and other economic considerations impacting the particular markets. Our Board and our management, including our Advisor and its sub-advisors, have extensive experience evaluating and investing, directly or indirectly as a joint venture partner, in numerous types of properties. We intend to primarily acquire, or participate in joint ventures owning, a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, medical office, single-tenant, multifamily, student housing and other real properties, including raw land. These properties are initially expected to be existing, income-producing properties. Additionally, we may invest in newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction. In addition, given the then existing economic conditions and subject to applicable REIT requirements, our investment strategy may also include investments in real estate-related assets such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies; however, we intend to limit these types of investments so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries will meet the definition of an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”). Our investment strategy is designed to provide investors with a diversified portfolio of real estate assets. We expect to make our investments in real estate assets located in the United States. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, joint ventures, tenant-in-common investments or other co-ownership arrangements for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties with third parties.

Our primary investment objectives are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Acquisition and Investment Policies

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

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

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

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

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

Investments in Real Property

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investing in and Originating Loans

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investment in Other Real Estate-Related Securities

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

Development and Construction of Properties

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

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

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

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

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

Multifamily Properties

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

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

Hospitality

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

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

Joint Venture Investments

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

Competition

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

Compliance with Federal, State and Local Environmental Law

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

Employees

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

Access to Company Information

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

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

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2013, we indirectly own, through our Operating Partnership, equity interests in three entities, one of which owns a multifamily property, another that owns three industrial buildings and a third that owns a warehouse facility.

On August 17, 2012, the Company, through our Operating Partnership, acquired a 51.5% equity interest in the Class A shares of Colony Hills Capital Residential II, LLC (“CHCR II”) which is a joint venture with Colony Hills Capital, LLC. The Company has no controlling interest in CHCR II. CHCR II is the sole member of Wynthrope Holdings, LLC, which owns Wynthrope Forest Apartments, a 23 building, 270 unit multifamily complex located in Riverdale, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The property was 93.3% occupied at the time of acquisition, with a majority of leases ranging from one year or longer. The purchase price for the equity interest was $1,250,000.

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

On October 1, 2013, the Company through our Operating Partnership, completed a $3.5 million investment in TCG 5400 FIB LP ("5400 FIB"), which owns a recently acquired warehouse facility (the “Property”) in Atlanta, Georgia containing 682,750 rentable square feet of space. The initial purchase price of the Property was $21.9 million which included $15.0 million of secured debt. At the time of the investment, the Property was 100% leased. On November 15, 2013, the Company, through our Operating Partnership, completed an additional $400,000 equity investment in 5400 FIB and increased its investment to $3.9 million resulting in a 50.3% equity interest.

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

For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, CHCR II, the Partnership and 5400 FIB had combined revenues of $5,967,487 and $2,822,325 and expenses of $6,520,130 and $2,709,545, respectively.

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. In management’s opinion, 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.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

PART II

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

Stockholder Information

As of April 15, 2014, we had 1,272,697 shares of common stock outstanding held by a total of 186 stockholders. The number of stockholders is based on the records of ACS Securities Services, which serves as our transfer agent.

Market Information

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

To assist the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") members and their associated persons that participate in our initial offering of common stock, pursuant to FINRA Conduct Rule 5110, we disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of our shares, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. For this purpose, Plymouth Real Estate Investors, our advisor, estimated the value of our shares of common stock as $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2013. The basis for this valuation is the fact that the current public offering price of our shares of common stock in our primary public offering is $10.00 per share (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers). Our advisor has indicated that it intends to use the most recent price paid to acquire a share in our initial offering (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers) as it’s estimated per share value of our shares until we have completed our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when we are no longer publicly offering equity securities and have not done so for up to 18 months. We currently expect to update the estimated value per share every 12 to 18 months thereafter. For purposes of determining when our offering stage is complete, we do not consider a "public equity offering" to include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our operating partnership.

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

Distribution Information

Our board of directors declared four stock distributions of 0.015 shares each of our common stock, or 1.5% per distribution of each outstanding share of common stock, to our stockholders of record at the close of business on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2013 and were paid on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15, 2014, respectively.

We have not paid or declared any cash distributions as of April 15, 2014. It is unlikely at this time, based largely on the composition of our current investment portfolio and the acquisition opportunities that we currently see in the market, whether we will declare any cash distributions during 2014. We may make special stock distributions, as described further below.

The Company has operated in a manner that will allow 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. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our common stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. The Company utilizes an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of its properties and securities through our Operating Partnership.

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

On November 1, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-173048), covering a public offering of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering and 15,000,000 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. We commenced our initial offering on November 1, 2011 upon retaining Plymouth Real Estate Capital, an affiliate of our Advisor, as the Dealer Manager of our offering.

On January 9, 2014, at the recommendation of our Advisor, and following the approval of our board of directors, the Company terminated its initial public offering effective as of May 6, 2014.

In conjunction with the termination of the initial public offering, our board of directors also voted to terminate our distribution reinvestment plan and our share redemption plan effective May 6, 2014.

On January 9, 2014, our board of directors authorized our Advisor to negotiate an engagement letter with a nationally recognized investment bank for financial advisory services in connection with pursuing strategic alternatives for the Company, including a possible listed public offering. The Company can provide no assurances that it will actually enter into an engagement letter or be able to effect any strategic alternatives.

As of December 31, 2013, we had sold 1,050,050 shares of our common stock which generated proceeds of approximately $10.446 million. Included in the 1,050,050 figure are the 20,000 shares of common stock purchased by Plymouth Group Real Estate prior to the commencement of our initial public offering on March 11, 2011.

From the commencement of our initial public offering through December 31, 2013, we incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs in the amounts set forth below. We pay selling commissions and dealer manager fees to our affiliated Dealer Manager.

Through December 31, 2013, the Sponsor has incurred approximately $2,338,996 of costs on behalf of the Company. Through December 31, 2013 the Company has repaid $2,312,881 to the Sponsor and will continue to reimburse as cash flow permits. Simultaneous with selling shares of common stock, offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital upon completion of the offering or to expenses if the offerings are not completed. Organizational costs will be expensed as they are reimbursed to the Sponsor.

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

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

As of December 31, 2013, we had not redeemed any shares under our share redemption program because no shares were eligible for redemption. We did not issue any shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the year ended December 31, 2013, and accordingly, we have no funds available for redemption under the share redemption program in 2013.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

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

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.

Overview

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

On January 9, 2014, at the recommendation of our Advisor, and following the approval of our board of directors, the Company terminated its initial public offering effective as of May 6, 2014.

In conjunction with the termination of the initial public offering, our board of directors also voted to terminate our distribution reinvestment plan and our share redemption plan effective May 6, 2014.

On January 9, 2014, our board of directors authorized our Advisor to negotiate an engagement letter with a nationally recognized investment bank for financial advisory services in connection with pursuing strategic alternatives for the Company, including a possible listed public offering. The Company can provide no assurances that it will actually enter into an engagement letter or be able to effect any strategic alternatives.

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

As of December 31, 2013, we have made three equity investments through our Operating Partnership. The first was in Wynthrope Forest, a 270-unit, 23-building multifamily community in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The second was in TCG Cincinnati DRE LP, a three-building industrial portfolio totaling approximately 576,751 square feet in the Greater Cincinnati area. The most recent investment is in 5400 Fulton Industrial Boulevard, a warehouse facility, containing 682,750 square feet in Atlanta, Georgia.

Our Advisor manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate properties and real estate-related assets. Our Advisor makes recommendations on all investments to our board of directors. All proposed investments must be approved by at least a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the members of the corporate governance committee, not otherwise interested in the transaction. Our Advisor provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf.

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. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year going forward, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash available for distribution.

Market Outlook — Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets

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

After three years of momentum building throughout global capital markets, stemming from the financial crisis introduced during the 2008-2009 time period, global capital markets have experienced relatively decreased volatility due to fewer concerns about credit risk and increased reliance in the confidence of functioning global financial markets.  Economies throughout the world have experienced increased employment and consumer confidence due to an upturn in economic activity.  Despite certain recent positive economic indicators such as an improved stock market performance, an improved unemployment rate and improved access to capital for most companies, the strength of aforementioned economic conditions have been muted in certain sectors of the economy and overall growth of the economy continues to lag behind that of other post-recession economic rebounds.  Previous global government interventions in banking systems, and the persistence of a highly expansionary monetary policy by the U.S. Treasury, has introduced additional complexity and uncertainty to the markets in the past few years.  That being said, there has been a demonstrable increase in commercial real estate transaction activity and institutional commercial lending velocity since 2010.  Commercial property fundamentals have strengthened in all asset types, and lenders still maintain disciplined underwriting standards. Fundamentals in the real estate market are improving due to growth in housing markets, construction, industrial production and improved consumer sentiment.  Continued improvement in the economy, combined with institutional investors increasingly allocating capital towards real assets, will likely result in additional measured growth throughout 2014/2015. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Through the year ended December 31, 2013, our Advisor has incurred $2,338,996 of costs on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement with the Company, our Advisor has the right to defer (without interest) receipt of all of these fees. Of this amount, the Company has reimbursed $2,312,881 to our Advisor and will continue to reimburse as cash flow permits. Simultaneous with selling common shares, offering costs will be charged to stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Organizational costs will be expensed as they are reimbursed to our advisor.

We are offering and selling to the public up to 50 million shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share (subject to certain volume discounts). We are also offering up to 15 million shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which our stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock at $9.50 per share. The Company, at the recommendation of our Advisor, and following the approval of our board of directors, terminated our initial offering effective as of May 6, 2014.

As of December 31, 2013, we have made three equity investments through our Operating Partnership. The first was in Wynthrope Forest, a 270-unit, 23-building multifamily community in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The second was in TCG Cincinnati DRE LP, a three-building industrial portfolio totaling approximately 576,751 square feet in the Greater Cincinnati area. The third is 5400 Fulton Industrial Boulevard, a warehouse facility, containing 682,750 square feet in Atlanta, Georgia.

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

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

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

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

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

As of April 15, 2014, we had gross offering proceeds of approximately $11.246 million. If we are unable to raise substantially more funds in our initial offering than the minimum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our initial offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions. We do not expect to establish a permanent reserve from our offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs of real properties, as we expect the vast majority of leases for the properties we acquire will provide for tenant reimbursement of operating expenses. However, to the extent that we have insufficient funds for such purposes, we may establish reserves from gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow from operations or net cash proceeds from the sale of properties.

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

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. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare distributions based on daily record dates and pay distributions on a quarterly basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

The Company incurred net losses of $3,472,224 and $2,166,678 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013 the Company had cash of $265,952 and had no debt outstanding and no obligation to fund capital under its existing joint venture agreements.

From January 1, 2014 through April 15, 2014, the Company has sold 80,000 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $800,000. As of April 15, 2014, the Company has approximately $735,000 of cash. The Company is anticipating receiving distributions from its investments in joint ventures on a quarterly basis. Additionally, as is disclosed in Note 4, only $26,116 of costs related to the start-up of the Company remain to be charged to the Company after December 31, 2013, after such costs of $1,247,881 and $1,065,000 were recognized as expenses of the Company during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company continues to maintain arrangements with certain of its vendors to limit future expenses related to certain professional services. Also, the Company entered into agreements during the year ended December 31, 2013 with its independent directors who agreed to receive all compensation through December 31, 2013 and amounts accrued as of December 31, 2012 in the form of stock. The Company will continue this agreement into 2014.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its needs and in a timely manner, the Company may be required to further reduce operating expenses and limit their operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional equity, it would result in the inability to acquire real estate assets or participate in joint ventures.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $3,472,224, due primarily to legal, professional, filing and printing costs incurred in connection with the commencement of our operations. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we had a net loss of $2,166,678.

We acquired our investments, Wynthrope Forest, TCG Cincinnati DRE LP and 5400 FIB, with proceeds from our initial offering. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we have received $122,543 of distributions relating to these investments and have recognized $588,546 of losses from these investments.

Salary reimbursement expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $654,855 and $605,402, respectively. These expenses consisted primarily of the allocation of salary earned by employees of the Company’s affiliates for work performed on behalf of the Company.

Organization and Offering Costs

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

Pursuant to our advisory agreement and our dealer manager agreement, we are obligated to reimburse our advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on our behalf. However, at the termination of our primary offering and at the termination of the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of the gross offering proceeds of the respective offering. In addition, at the end of the primary offering and again at the end of the offering under our dividend reinvestment plan, our advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that organization and offering expenses, excluding underwriting compensation (which includes selling commissions, dealer manager fees and any other items viewed as underwriting compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), exceed 2% of the gross proceeds we raised in the respective offering. We reimburse our Dealer Manager for underwriting compensation as discussed in the prospectus for our ongoing initial offering. We also pay directly or reimburse our Dealer Manager for bona fide invoiced due diligence expenses of broker dealers. However, no reimbursements made by us to our Advisor or our Dealer Manager may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by us (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees and all other items of organization and offering expenses) to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from our primary offering and the offering under our distribution reinvestment plan at the date of reimbursement. Through December 31, 2013, we had sold 1,050,050 shares in the initial offering for gross offering proceeds of $10.446 million and incurred selling commissions and dealer manager fees of $296,424 and other organizational and offering costs of $1,084,816.

Critical Accounting Policies

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 joint ventures. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. We rely on our experience, we collect historical data and current market data, and we analyze these assumptions in order to arrive at what we believe to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2013, we have not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intend to operate as such beginning with its tax year ending December 31, 2012. We had no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any 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. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The information required by this Item 8 is hereby incorporated by reference to our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this 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, 2013. As described below, management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of our disclosure controls and procedures. As a result of those material weaknesses, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, 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:

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, 2013, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992) (COSO) and identified material weaknesses. In conducting this evaluation, management took into account the information identified and conclusions reached by the non-management directors in the review as of December 31, 2013. A "material weakness" is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statement will not be presented or detected by our employees.

The specific material weaknesses that management identified in our internal controls as of December 31, 2013 that persist are as follows:

We intend to implement changes to strengthen our internal controls. We are in the process of developing a remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses and we expect that work on the plan will continue throughout 2014, as financial resources permit. Specifically, to address the material weaknesses arising from insufficient accounting personnel, we have employed and continue to receive advice and assistance from third-party financial consultants who have addressed the Company's inexperience relative to GAAP and SEC reporting. The Company is currently evaluating what additional policies and procedures may be necessary, how to most effectively communicate the policies and procedures to its personnel and how to improve their financial reporting system.

The directors also plan to pursue the employment of a permanent Chief Financial Officer.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Business

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

All references to “the Company” refer to Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company has operated in a manner that will allow 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 to hold all or substantially all of its properties and securities through an operating partnership, Plymouth Opportunity OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership").

On March 11, 2011, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock to Plymouth Group Real Estate, LLC (the Sponsor), at a price of $200,000, or $10 per share. As of April 15, 2014, the Company has sold 1,272,697 shares for gross offering proceeds of $11.246 million.

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

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies

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 joint ventures. Each of these items involves estimates that require management to make judgments that are subjective in nature. We rely on our experience, we collect historical data and current market data, and we analyze these assumptions in order to arrive at what we believe to be reasonable estimates. Under different conditions or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported related to the accounting policies described below. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments on the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

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

Cash

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2013, we have not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Equity Method Accounting

The Company may acquire equity interest in various limited partnerships or other entities. In certain cases where we have the ability to exercise significant influence we account for our equity interest under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, we recognize our proportional share of net income or loss as determined under GAAP in our results of operations.

Segment Reporting

ASC 280 Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) establishes standards for the way public entities report information about operating segments in the financial statements. The Company is a REIT focused on real estate investments and currently operates in only one segment: real estate operations.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“ REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and operate as such beginning with its tax year ending December 31, 2012. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute as dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four tax years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless we are able to obtain relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state 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 2011 and thereafter.

To the extent that the Company does not utilize the full amount of the annual NOL limit, the unused amount may be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. NOLs expire 20 years after the year in which they arise. As a result, the Company’s NOL of $3,021,119 in 2013 and $1,889,379 in 2012 expire in the years 2033 and 2032, respectively.

Earnings per Share

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

Subsequent Events

In preparing these consolidated financial statements the Company evaluated events that occurred through the date of issuance of these financial statements for potential recognition or disclosure.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(3) Initial Offering

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

The Company commenced the Initial Offering on November 1, 2011. As of April 15, 2014, the Company had reached gross offering proceeds of approximately $11.246 million.

On January 9, 2014, at the recommendation of the Advisor, and following the approval of its board of directors, the Company terminated the Initial Offering effective as of May 6, 2014.

In conjunction with the termination of the initial public offering, our board of directors also voted to terminate our distribution reinvestment plan and our share redemption plan effective May 6, 2014.

The Company has the right to reallocate the shares of common stock offered between the Company’s primary public offering and the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The Dealer Manager is providing dealer manager services in connection with the offering. The Initial Offering is a best efforts offering, which means that the Dealer Manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of common stock in the offering but will use its best efforts to sell the shares of common stock.

(4) Related Party Transactions

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

The fees the Company incurs under the advisory agreement are as follows:

Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(4) Related Party Transactions – (continued)

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement with its Advisor, the Advisor has the right to defer (without interest) receipt of all of these fees and expenses, including an additional $26,116 of organization and offering costs that have yet to be, but could be, billed to the Company.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has $13,930 and $9,431 receivable from the Dealer Manager for costs reimbursable under the Expense Sharing Agreement signed August 1, 2012.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has incurred $191,575 and $108,900, respectively, in commissions and dealer manager fees to the Dealer Manager related to the issuance of common stock. Commissions and dealer manager fees of $167,275 and $105,900 were paid in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As more fully described in Note 5, the Company and Colony Hills Capital, LLC are each members of Colony Hills Capital Residential II, LLC.  Colony Hills Capital, LLC is also a shareholder of the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(5) Investment in Joint Ventures

On August 17, 2012, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, acquired a 51.5% equity interest in the Class A shares of Colony Hills Capital Residential II, LLC (“CHCR II”) which is a joint venture with Colony Hills Capital, LLC. The Company has no controlling interest in CHCR II. CHCR II is the sole member of Wynthrope Holdings, LLC, which owns Wynthrope Forest Apartments, a 23 building, 270 unit multifamily complex located in Riverdale, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The property was 93.3% occupied at the time of acquisition, with a majority of leases ranging from one year or longer. The purchase price for the equity interest was $1,250,000. The total purchase price the joint venture paid for the property was $13.9 million, which included $10.6 million of secured debt.

On September 10, 2012, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, acquired a 12% limited partnership interest in TCG Cincinnati DRE LP (the “Partnership”). The Partnership owns three Class B industrial buildings comprised of approximately 576,751 square feet located in the Greater Cincinnati area. All three buildings were 100% occupied at the time of the investment, consisting of four tenants with leases of two to ten years. The purchase price for the equity interest acquired by the Company was $500,000.

On October 1, 2013, the Company through its Operating Partnership, completed a $3.5 million investment in TCG 5400 FIB LP ("5400 FIB"), which owns a recently acquired a warehouse facility (the “Property”) in Atlanta, Georgia containing 682,750 rentable square feet of space. The initial purchase price of the Property was $21.9 million which included $15.0 million of secured debt. At the time of the investment, the Property was 100% leased. On November 15, 2013, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, completed an additional $400,000 equity investment in 5400 FIB and increased its investment to $3.9 million resulting in a 50.3% equity investment.

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

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

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

The Company has concluded that the Partnership is not a VIE. The Company does not have control over the Partnership and accounts for this investment as an equity method investment.

The Company concluded that 5400 FIB is not a VIE. The Company accounts for the 5400 FIB investment as an equity method investment.

The Company accounts for these investments using equity method accounting, as the Company has significant influence over the entities, but does not have control over the entities. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $588,546 and $93,042 of losses, respectively, and $122,543 and $14,932 of distributions from these investments, respectively.

(5) Investment in Joint Ventures-(continued)

A condensed summary of the financial position and results of operations of the joint ventures are shown below (in thousands):

Management of the Company monitors the financial position of the Company’s joint venture partners.

(6) Commitments

The Company leases space for its corporate office under the terms of a sub-lease with its Advisor. Rental expense for operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, including common-area maintenance, was $199,242 and $95,119, respectively. Amounts of minimum future annual rental commitments under the operating lease commencing January 1, 2014 and expiring August 31, 2016 are $284,165 for 2014, $284,165 for 2015 and $189,443 for 2016.

(7) Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company’s charter authorizes the Company to issue up to 10.0 million shares of its $0.01 par value preferred stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

Through December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has issued 1,192,695 and 367,841 respectively, of common shares (including stock dividends) in connection with its Initial Offering.

Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(7) Equity-(continued)

Common stockholders have full voting rights and are entitled to one vote per share held and are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared.

(8) Share-based Compensation

The Company issues restricted stock to its independent members of the Board of Directors as part of its annual retention program. The stock immediately vests upon issuance. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $175,500 and $116,330, respectively, of related compensation expense, which is included in directors’ fees in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(9) Liquidity

The Company incurred net losses of $3,472,224 and $2,166,678 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2013 the Company had cash of $265,952 and had no debt outstanding and no obligation to fund capital under its existing joint venture agreements.

From January 1, 2014 through April 15, 2014, the Company has sold 80,000 shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $800,000. As of April 15, 2014, the Company has approximately $735,000 of cash. The Company is anticipating receiving distributions from its investments in joint ventures on a quarterly basis. Additionally, as is disclosed in Note 4, only $26,116 of costs related to the start-up of the Company remain to be charged to the Company after December 31, 2013, after such costs of $1,247,881 and $1,065,000 were recognized as expenses of the Company during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company continues to maintain arrangements with certain of its vendors to limit future expenses related to certain professional services. Also, the Company entered into agreements during the year ended December 31, 2013 with its independent directors who agreed to receive all compensation through December 31, 2013 and amounts accrued as of December 31, 2012 in the form of stock. The Company will continue this agreement into 2014.

If the Company is unable to generate sufficient liquidity to meet its needs and in a timely manner, the Company may be required to further reduce operating expenses and limit their operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional equity, it would result in the inability to acquire real estate assets or participate in joint ventures.
