REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
GTJ REIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries
West Hempstead, New York
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses of the properties located at 11 Constitution Avenue, Piscataway, NJ, 21 Constitution Avenue, Piscataway, NJ, 4 Corporate Place, Piscataway, NJ, 8 Corporate Place, Piscataway, NJ, and 1110 Centennial Avenue, Piscataway, NJ (collectively, the “Piscataway Portfolio”) for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses in accordance 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 combined statement of revenue and certain expenses that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses, 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses.
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 statement of revenue and certain expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of the Piscataway Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A of GTJ REIT, Inc. as described in Note 2 to the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Piscataway Portfolio’s revenues and expenses.

Notes to Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
1. |
Organization |
The Piscataway Portfolio consists of six commercial properties, located in Piscataway, New Jersey totaling approximately 682,000 square feet.
GTJ REIT, Inc. (“GTJ” or the “Company”) is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust engaged in the acquisition, ownership, and management of 39 commercial properties in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
On March 13, 2015, GTJ completed the acquisition of the Piscataway Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of $63.77 million. As a result of the acquisition, GTJ now owns a total of 45 properties consisting of approximately 5.3 million square feet of office and industrial properties on approximately 335 acres of land in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
2. |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses (the “Combined Statement”) has 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 Combined Statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of the Piscataway Portfolio. Accordingly, the Combined Statement excludes depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, and asset management fees not directly related to the future operations of the Piscataway Portfolio.
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 period. 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 tenants in the Piscataway Portfolio have operating leases with expiration dates ranging from May 2016 to February 2025. The minimum rentals due under the leases are generally subject to scheduled fixed rent 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, 2014 are as follows:
