Item 9.01. Financial Statements

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain operating expenses (the “combined financial statement”) of the self storage properties located in Azusa, Riverside and Stockton, California, and Elgin and Romeoville, Illinois, and Colorado Springs, Colorado (the “Six Property Portfolio”) for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statement.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain operating expenses as described in Note 1 to the combined financial statement of the Six Property Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter

The accompanying combined financial statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K/A) as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Six Property Portfolio’s revenue and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Six Property Portfolio

Notes to Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Operating Expenses

December 31, 2014

Note 1 - Organization and basis of presentation

The combined financial statement includes the revenue and certain operating expenses of the self storage properties located in Azusa, Riverside and Stockton, California, and Elgin and Romeoville, Illinois, and Colorado Springs, Colorado (the “Six Property Portfolio”). Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired the self storage property located in Colorado Springs, Colorado on January 29, 2015 for a purchase price of $4.17 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees. The Company acquired the remaining self storage properties on February 5, 2015 for a purchase price of $11.73 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees.

The accompanying combined financial statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K/A) for the acquisition of real estate properties. The combined financial statement is not representative of the actual operations of the Six Property Portfolio for the period presented, because certain operating expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred in the proposed future operations of the Six Property Portfolio have been excluded. Items excluded generally consist of management fees, interest and debt related costs, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, income taxes and certain other allocated corporate expenses not directly related to the operations of the Six Property Portfolio. Therefore, the combined financial statement may not be comparable to a statement of operations for the Six Property Portfolio after its acquisition by the Company. Except as noted above, management of the seller of the Six Property Portfolio is not aware of any material factors relating to the Six Property Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2014, that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The combined financial statement has been prepared using the accrual method of accounting on the basis of presentation described in Note 1. As such, revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

Revenue recognition

Rental revenue is recognized when due over the lease terms, which are generally month-to-month leases. Other operating income, consisting primarily of late fees and ancillary revenue, is recognized when earned.

Property operations

Certain operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the Six Property Portfolio and consist primarily of repairs and maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, property insurance, general and administrative, salaries, marketing and other operating expenses that are expected to continue in the ongoing operation of the Six Property Portfolio.

Notes to Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Operating Expenses

Use of estimates

The preparation of the combined financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the sellers of the Six Property Portfolio to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and certain operating expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising and marketing

Advertising and marketing costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Note 3 - Commitments and contingencies

The Six Property Portfolio, from time to time, may be involved with lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the management of the seller of the Six Property Portfolio, any liability resulting from such litigation would not be material in relation to the Six Property Portfolio’s financial position and results of operations.

Note 4 - Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 9, 2015, the date the combined financial statement was available to be issued.

Note 2. Acquisitions

2014 Acquisitions – Ft. Pierce, Russell Road and Jones Boulevard

On July 31, 2014 the Company closed on the acquisition of two self storage facilities located in Fort Pierce, Florida (“Fort Pierce”) and Las Vegas, Nevada (“Russell Road”) for approximately $3.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively. On September 29, 2014 the Company closed on the acquisition of another facility in Las Vegas, Nevada (“Jones Boulevard”) for approximately $6 million. These three properties were acquired from unaffiliated entities. The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million in acquisition fees in connection with the three acquisitions. The properties contain approximately 3,000 storage units, totaling approximately 350,000 square feet.

In connection with the acquisition of the three properties, on July 31, 2014, the Company along with its operating partnership, SS Growth Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and certain property owning special purpose entities wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership (collectively with the Operating Partnership the “Borrower”) obtained a secured revolving term loan (the “KeyBank Facility”) from KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for the purpose of funding real property acquisitions. The maximum amount the Company can borrow under the KeyBank Facility initially is $20,000,000. The KeyBank Facility must be fully funded through a maximum of six draws no later than March 31, 2015. The initial amount funded at closing was approximately $6.3 million, approximately $1 million of which was used to partially fund the acquisition of the Fort Pierce property and approximately $5.3 million for the Russell Road property. An additional amount was funded on September 29, 2014 of approximately $3.2 million which was used to partially fund the acquisition of the Jones Boulevard property. The KeyBank Facility has a variable interest rate which was approximately 3.41% at the time of the initial draws.

The KeyBank Facility has an initial term of three years, maturing on July 31, 2017, with two one-year extension options subject to certain conditions outlined further in the Credit Agreement. Payments due pursuant to the KeyBank Facility are interest-only for the first 36 months and a 30-year amortization schedule thereafter. The KeyBank Facility bears interest at the Company’s option of either (i) LIBOR plus 325 basis points, or (ii) Base Rate plus 225 basis points. Base Rate is the greater of (i) Agent Prime or (ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.50%.

The KeyBank Facility is full recourse, jointly and severally, to the Company and is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgage liens on the Mortgaged Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The KeyBank Facility may be prepaid or terminated at any time without penalty, provided, however, that KeyBank shall be indemnified for any breakage costs associated with any LIBOR borrowings. Pursuant to that certain guaranty dated July 31, 2014 in favor of KeyBank, the Company serves as a guarantor of all obligations due under the KeyBank Facility.

Under certain conditions, the Company may cause the release of one or more of the properties serving as collateral for the KeyBank Facility, provided no default or event of default is then outstanding or would reasonably occur as a result of such release, including compliance with the Pool Debt-Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The KeyBank Facility contains a number of other customary terms and covenants.

Additionally, on July 31, 2014, the Operating Partnership purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $15 million, such that in no event will our interest rate exceed 5.25% thereon through August 1, 2016.

On July 31, 2014, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) with SSTI Preferred Investor, LLC (the “SSTI Preferred Investor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of its sponsor. Pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement, the SSTI Preferred Investor agreed to provide up to $18,100,000 through a preferred equity investment in the Operating Partnership to be used solely for investments in self storage properties, as described in the underlying documents, in exchange for preferred units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”). The initial investment was approximately $7.2 million and was used to partially fund the acquisition of the Fort Pierce and Russell Road properties. An additional investment of approximately $2.8 million was used to partially fund the acquisition of the Jones Boulevard property.

The holders of the preferred units will receive current distributions (the “Current Distributions”) at a rate of the one-month LIBOR plus 6.5% per annum. In addition to the Current Distributions, the Company has the obligation to elect either (A) to pay the holder of the preferred units additional distributions monthly in an amount equal to: (i) 4.35% per annum through January 31, 2017; and (ii) thereafter, 6.35% per annum or (B) defer the additional distributions ( the “Deferred Distributions”) in an amount that will accumulate monthly in an amount equal to (i) LIBOR plus 10.85% of the Deferred Distributions through January 31, 2017; and (ii) thereafter, LIBOR plus 12.85% of the Deferred Distributions.

2015 Acquisition – Six Property Portfolio

On August 14, 2014, the Company, through six wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, executed six partial assignments of the purchase and sale agreement originally executed by a subsidiary of the Company’s sponsor on July 7, 2014, with unaffiliated third parties (the “Six Property Purchase Agreement”), for the acquisition of six self storage facilities located in California, Illinois and Colorado (the “Six Property Portfolio”). The aggregate purchase price for the Six Property Portfolio is approximately $15.9 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees.

On January 29, 2015, the Company closed on one self storage facility located in Colorado representing the first phase (the “First Phase”) of the acquisition of the Six Property Portfolio for a purchase price of approximately $4.2 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees. We funded the First Phase of the Six Property Portfolio with a combination of proceeds from an issuance of approximately $2.0 million of preferred units in the Operating Partnership and a draw of approximately $2.6 million under the KeyBank Facility. The Company incurred acquisition fees of approximately $42,000 in connection with the First Phase acquisition.

On February 5, 2015, the Company closed on the remaining five self storage facilities located in California and Illinois representing the second phase (the “Second Phase”) of the acquisition of the Six Property Portfolio for a purchase price of approximately $11.7 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees. The Company funded the Second Phase of the Six Property Portfolio with a combination of proceeds from an issuance of approximately $5.2 million of preferred units in the Operating Partnership, a draw of approximately $5.7 million under the KeyBank Facility, and proceeds from the Company’s Private Offering. The Company incurred acquisition fees of approximately $117,000 in connection with the Second Phase acquisition.
