Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Strategic Storage Trust IV, Inc.
Ladera Ranch, California
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain operating expenses (the "financial statement") of the four self storage properties located in the States of Florida, North Carolina and Virginia acquired on November 5, 2019 (the "Four Property Portfolio") for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statement.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement
Management of the seller of the Four Property Portfolio is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 the 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 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 financial statement is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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 financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain operating expenses as described in Note 1 to the financial statement of the Four Property Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
The accompanying financial statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Four Property Portfolio’s combined revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
Year Ended December 31, 2018 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and basis of presentation
The financial statements include the combined revenues and certain operating expenses of four self storage properties located in Ocoee, Florida, University City and Ardrey Kell, North Carolina and Charlottesville, Virginia (the "Four Property Portfolio"). Strategic Storage Trust IV, Inc. (the "Company") acquired the Four Property Portfolio on November 5, 2019 for a purchase price of approximately $64.5 million, plus closing and acquisition costs.
The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the acquisition of real estate properties. The combined financial statements are not representative of the actual operations of the Four Property 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 Four Property Portfolio have been excluded. Items excluded generally consist of management fees, interest and debt related costs, depreciation and intangible amortization expense and certain other allocated corporate expenses not directly related to the operations of the Four Property Portfolio. Therefore, the combined financial statements may not be comparable to a statement of operations for the Four Property Portfolio after its acquisition by the Company. The properties in the Four Property Portfolio commenced operations as follows: University City, North Carolina in April 2017, Charlottesville, Virginia in December 2017, Ardrey Kell, North Carolina in May 2018 and Ocoee, Florida in February 2019.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The combined financial statements 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.
The combined statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is unaudited; however, management of the seller believes that all material adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the combined interim statement of revenues and certain operating expenses have been included. The interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results would be for a full year.
Revenue recognition
Self storage rental revenue is recognized when due over the lease terms, which are generally month-to-month leases.
Certain operating expenses
Certain operating expenses represent the direct expenses of operating the Four Property Portfolio and consist primarily of repairs and maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, property insurance, salaries, marketing and other operating expenses that are expected to continue in the ongoing operation of the Four Property Portfolio.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the seller of the Four Property Portfolio to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain operating expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Advertising and marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Note 3 - Commitments and contingencies
The Four 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 Four Property Portfolio, any liability resulting from such litigation would not be material in relation to the Four Property Portfolio's combined financial position and results of operations.
Note 4 - Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 17, 2020, the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued.

The Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility had an initial maximum borrowing capacity of $55 million but may be increased up to $245 million, to a maximum credit facility of $300 million, in minimum increments of $20 million, which KeyBank will arrange on a best effort basis. On August 9, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment and joinder to amend and restate the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”) with KeyBank. Under the terms of the First Amendment, the Company added an additional $45 million to the maximum borrowing capacity for a total of $100 million with the admission of Texas Capital Bank (“Texas Capital”), Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) and SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) (the “Subsequent Lenders”).

In order to finance the Four Property Portfolio, the Company borrowed an additional $65 million on the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility. Subsequent to the acquisition of the Four Property Portfolio, the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility had a balance of $105 million.
The Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility is a term loan that has a maturity date of June 27, 2022, with two one-year extension options subject to certain conditions outlined further in the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility bear interest at the Borrower’s option of either (x) Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Rate, or (y) or the Maximum Rate (as defined in the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility). The Applicable Rate means the percentage rate corresponding to the Company’s total leverage, which are as follows: (1) 225 basis points with a total leverage ratio greater than or equal to 55%; (2) 200 basis points with a total leverage ratio greater than or equal to 45% but less than 55%; (3) 175 basis points with a total leverage ratio greater than or equal to 35% but less than 45%; and (4) 150 basis points with a total leverage ratio less than 35%.
Note 3. Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet – Pro Forma Adjustments
| (a) | Reflects the cost of tangible assets and identified intangible assets acquired based on their estimated relative fair values. The purchase price allocations for the Four Property Portfolio are preliminary and subject to change. |
| (b) | Reflects the net cash after the $65 million draw on the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility to purchase the Four Property Portfolio, including closing and acquisition costs. |
| (c) | Adjustment primarily relates to the $1.5 million earnest money deposits outstanding as of September 30, 2019 used to purchase the Four Property Portfolio. |
| (d) | Adjustment relates to prepaid customer rent assumed related to the Four Property Portfolio. |
| (e) | The acquisition of the Four Property Portfolio was primarily funded with a draw of $65 million under the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility.

14
Note 4. Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations – Pro Forma Adjustments
In accordance with Rule 3-14 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the Four Property Portfolio has been shown separately in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additional property acquisitions are combined pursuant to their acquisition dates in 2018 and 2019 and are also reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
| (f) | Adjustment primarily represents adjusting property operating expenses to include the estimated change in the cost of property taxes as compared to the respective property’s historical results under the previous owner as a result of the corresponding change in the property’s assessed value. |
| (g) | Adjustment reflects management fees pursuant to the Company’s property management and advisory agreements. The Company’s property manager is entitled to a monthly fee equal to the greater of $3,000 or 6% of gross revenues. In addition, the Company’s advisor is entitled to a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 1% of average invested assets, as defined. |
| (h) | Reflects the depreciation and intangible amortization expense resulting from the acquisitions during 2018 and 2019 as if each property was acquired on January 1, 2018. Such depreciation and intangible amortization expense for the 2018 Property Acquisitions was based on final purchase price allocations totaling approximately $24.8 million to land, approximately $5.4 million to site improvements, approximately $93.0 million to building, and approximately $5.5 million to intangible assets. Such depreciation and intangible amortization expense for the 2019 Property Acquisitions (excluding the Four Property Portfolio) was based on final purchase price allocations totaling approximately $18.5 million to land, approximately $3.4 million to site improvements, approximately $31.5 million to building, and approximately $2.7 million to intangible assets. Such depreciation and intangible amortization expense for the Four Property Portfolio was based on preliminary purchase price allocations of approximately $7.5 million to land, approximately $1.2 million to site improvements, approximately $54.3 million to building, and approximately $1.8 million to intangible assets. Depreciation expense on the purchase price allocated to buildings is recognized using the straight-line method over a 35 year life and the depreciation for the site improvements is recognized using the straight-line method over a 10 year life. Intangible amortization expense on the purchase price allocated to intangible assets is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated respective benefit period of approximately 18 months. The purchase price allocations for the Four Property Portfolio are preliminary and therefore depreciation and intangible amortization expense are preliminary and are subject to change. |
| (i) | Historical property acquisition expenses attributable to the 2018 Property Acquisitions, 2019 Property Acquisitions and the Four Property Portfolio that did not meet the Company’s capitalization policy have been excluded from the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations because they are non-recurring costs attributable to these acquisitions. The remaining amount of other property acquisition expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 represents costs associated with acquisitions that were either terminated or not yet closed. |
| (j) | For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the adjustment reflects the additional estimated interest expense at the average applicable interest rate of approximately 4.1%, which was based on the LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points, for the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility as if the loan draws, which were utilized to complete the 2019 and Four Property Portfolio acquisitions, were outstanding for the full nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the adjustment reflects the additional estimated interest expense at the average applicable interest rate of approximately 3.8%, which was based on the LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points, for the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility as if the loan draws, which were utilized to complete the 2018, 2019 and Four Property Portfolio acquisitions, were outstanding for the full year ended December 31, 2018. |
| | Adjustment also reflects the additional estimated interest expense at a rate of 6.4% for the Katy Loan as if the loan was assumed for the full year ended December 31, 2018. The Katy Loan bears a fixed annual interest rate of approximately 6.4%. |
If the underlying floating rate on the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility were to increase or decrease by 1/8 percent from the initial rate, the effect on interest expense would be approximately $131,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. If the underlying floating rate on the Revolving KeyBank Credit Facility were to increase or decrease by 1/8 percent from the initial rate, the effect on interest expense would be approximately $98,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
