To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Strategic Storage Trust, Inc.
Ladera Ranch, California
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain operating expenses (the “Historical Summary”) of the twelve self storage properties located in Georgia and Florida (together, the “Homeland Portfolio”), for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Homeland Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary 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 Historical Summary is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying Historical Summary 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 and in the Registration Statement on Form S-11 of Strategic Storage Trust, Inc.) as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Homeland Portfolio’s revenue and expenses.
In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenue and certain operating expenses described in Note 1 of the Homeland Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUE
AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
Year Ended December 31, 2010 and
Period from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain operating expenses include the revenue and certain operating expenses of twelve self storage properties located in Georgia and Florida (together, the “Homeland Portfolio”), acquired from several unaffiliated entities, that were collectively under common control. Strategic Storage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired the Homeland Portfolio on December 27, 2011, for consideration of approximately $80 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees. On the date of acquisition, the Homeland Portfolio contained approximately 7,880 storage units.
The accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain operating expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the acquisition of real estate properties. The combined statements of revenue and certain operating expenses are not representative of the actual operations of Homeland Portfolio for the periods presented, because certain operating expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred in the proposed future operations of the Homeland Portfolio have been excluded. Expenses 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 Homeland Portfolio. Therefore the combined statements of revenue and certain operating expenses may not be comparable to a statement of operations for the Homeland Portfolio after its acquisition by the Company. Except as noted above, management of the Homeland Portfolio is not aware of any material factors relating to the Homeland Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2010 or the period January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011 (unaudited), that would cause the reported combined financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The combined statements of revenue and certain operating expenses have 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.

Property Operations
Certain operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the Homeland Portfolio and consist primarily of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, general and administrative and other operating expenses that are expected to continue in the ongoing operation of the Homeland Portfolio.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain operating expenses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Homeland Portfolio to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and certain operating expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.

STRATEGIC STORAGE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended December 31, 2010 and Period Ended September 30, 2011
Note 1. Acquisition
On December 27, 2011, the Company closed on the purchase of twelve self storage facilities located in Georgia, and Florida (the “Homeland Portfolio”), acquired from several unaffiliated entities, that were collectively under common control. The consideration provided for the Homeland Portfolio was $80 million plus closing costs and acquisition fees. The Company incurred $2 million in acquisition fees in connection with this acquisition, payable to its advisor.
The Homeland Portfolio consists of facilities built between 2006 and 2009 and, as such, are lease-up properties that had an average physical occupancy upon acquisition of approximately 48%. We believe that as the properties mature, occupancy will increase, providing a significant increase in both revenues and operating income.
In connection with the acquisition of the Homeland Portfolio, the Company entered into a secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association (the “KeyBank”) with total commitments of $82 million (such facility replaced our previously existing $30 million facility, which had approximately $20 million outstanding), and we borrowed an additional approximately $56.6 million thereunder. Additionally, we borrowed $28 million from KeyBank through a bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”).
We were required to purchase an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $45 million, such that we pay an effective fixed interest rate of approximately 5.41% on the hedged portion of the Credit Facility. For the remaining amount outstanding on the Credit Facility, we have the option of selecting one of three variable interest rates, which have applicable spreads. Initially, we elected to have a 30-day LIBOR rate apply, which, including the applicable spread, equaled an initial interest rate of approximately 4.79%.
We have the option of selecting one of three variable interest rates for the Bridge Loan. Initially, we elected to have a 30-day LIBOR rate apply, which, including the applicable spread, equaled an initial interest rate of approximately 6.79%.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 and Period Ended September 30, 2011
| (4) | Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2010 and period ended September 30, 2011 reflect the expensing of acquisition-related transaction costs, consisting of acquisition expenses paid to affiliates of $2 million and $2 million, respectively and other property acquisition expenses of $427,770, and $234,445, respectively which are required to be expensed as incurred under GAAP. The difference in the adjustment for other property acquisition expenses is attributable to approximately $193,000 of acquisition expenses incurred and expensed by the Company in accordance with GAAP as of September 30, 2011. |
| (5) | Adjustments reflect the interest expense on debt financing based on the terms of the KeyBank Credit Facility and the outstanding amounts related to the Homeland Portfolio as well as the Bridge Loan. The interest rate assumed was based on the initial variable interest rate, as appropriate. Under the terms of the Bridge Loan, the principal must be repaid in full by August 31, 2012. Included in the adjustment for the period ended December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, was approximately $730,000 and $730,000 of interest expense related to the temporary financing provided by the Bridge Loan. |
| (6) | Adjustments reflect the amortization of the deferred financing costs related to the KeyBank Credit Facility and the outstanding amounts related to the Homeland Portfolio as well as the Bridge Loan. Included in the adjustment for the period ended December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, was approximately $985,000 and $985,000 of deferred financing amortization related to the temporary financing provided by the Bridge Loan. |
| (7) | Minority interest is adjusted based on the additional pro forma earnings and the pro forma shares outstanding. Such adjustments were based upon a calculation of pro forma net income and pro forma shares outstanding. |
| (8) | The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period adjusted to give effect to the shares assumed to be issued had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2010 or January 1, 2011, as applicable. Such adjustments to the weighted average shares outstanding were necessary as the terms of the Bridge Loan are such that the principal is required to be repaid over eight months. As such, we reflected interest expense based on such terms and assumed that additional equity was issued to satisfy the requisite principal payments on the Bridge Loan. |
