Independent Auditors’ Report

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders
GTJ REIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Lynbrook, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses of the properties comprising the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio, as more fully described in Note 1, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The statements of revenue and certain expenses are the responsibility of GTJ REIT, Inc.’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal controls 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 Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio’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 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 audits evidence provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K of GTJ REIT, Inc. As described in Note 2, material amounts that would not be comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio are excluded from the combined financial statements, which are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio’s revenues and expenses.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, on the basis of accounting described in Note 2.

Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio

Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses

 

1.                                      Organization

 

The Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio consists of 25 commercial properties; ten properties located in Connecticut totaling approximately 900,000 square feet, ten properties in New York totaling approximately 600,000 square feet including two unimproved sites of approximately 17 acres and five properties in New Jersey totaling approximately 500,000 square feet.

 

GTJ REIT, Inc. (“GTJ”) is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust engaged in the acquisition, ownership, and management of seven real properties in New York and Connecticut.

 

On January 17, 2013, GTJ acquired the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio in an UPREIT transaction valued at $194.4 million. As a result of this acquisition, GTJ now owns a total of 32 properties consisting of over 2.4 million square feet of office and industrial properties on 210 acres of land in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

 

2.                                      Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Presented herein are the combined statements of revenue and certain expenses of the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio.

 

The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses (the “Combined Statements”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14, and for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A of GTJ. The Statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio. Accordingly, the Statements exclude depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, and asset management fees not directly related to the future operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Combined Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting periods. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change and that actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Minimum rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 840-20-25, which requires that revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. The properties are being leased to tenants under operating leases.

 

The Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio is a lessor under operating leases with expiration dates ranging from 2013 to 2031. The minimum rental amounts due under the leases are generally subject to scheduled fixed increases or adjustments. The leases generally also require that the tenants reimburse the Company for the tenants pro rata share of certain operating costs and real estate taxes. Future minimum rents to be received over the next five years and thereafter for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

On January 17, 2013, GTJ REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired the real estate assets of the Wu/Lighthouse Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) in an UPREIT transaction valued at $194.4 million. As a result of this acquisition, the Company now owns a total of 32 properties consisting of over 2.4 million square feet of office and industrial properties on 210 acres of land in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2012, has been prepared as if the acquisition of the Portfolio had been completed on December 31,  2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2012 is presented as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2012.

 

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by the Company’s management; however, such statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s financial position and results of operations would have been assuming the completion of the acquisition on January 1, 2012, nor do they purport to project the Company’s financial position and results of operations at any future date or for any future period.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the transactions described above have been included in the pro forma consolidated financial statements.
