EXPLANATORY NOTE

Self Storage Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "SELF") has applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to deregister as a closed end fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company is seeking to register as a smaller reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and list its shares of common stock on NASDAQ Capital Market simultaneous with the effectiveness of deregistration under the 1940 Act.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This registration statement contains certain "forward looking statements" as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "will," and similar expressions identify forward looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from the Company's historical experience and its current expectations or projections indicated in any forward looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, equity securities risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, leverage and borrowing risk, additional risks of certain securities or other assets (including real estate) in which the Company invests, market discount from net asset value, distribution policy risk, management risk, the risks described in Item 1.A hereof and other risks discussed in the Company's filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements made herein.

Item 1. Business.

Background

The Company is currently a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. As such, the Company files reports with the SEC as required by the 1940 Act and other applicable securities laws including, among others, Form N-2, Form N-CSR, Form N-SAR, Form N-Q, Form N-PX, and Schedule 14A. As a smaller reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Company would be subject to the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act, including the requirements to file an annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, each of which requires the filing of full financial statements, and current reports on Form 8-K. The public may read and copy any materials the Company has filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Additional information about the Company, not contained in this form or made a part hereof, may be found at www.selfstoragegroupinc.com.

The Company was incorporated on December 12, 1996 under the laws of the state of Maryland, and from that date through the date of this registration statement, the Company has been a corporation duly qualified and in good standing in that state.

From September 1, 1983 to February 7, 1997, the Company was a diversified series of shares of Bull & Bear Incorporated, an open-end management investment company. On January 23, 1997, the Company (formerly known as Global Income Fund, Inc.) filed a Form N-8A Notification of Registration pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Act, registering the Company as an investment company thereunder, and a Registration Statement on Form N-2 for closed-end investment companies. The Company commenced operations as a closed-end management investment company on February 7, 1997. The Company's fiscal/taxable year ends December 31.

The Company is currently authorized to issue twenty million (20,000,000) shares of common stock, with a par value of ($.01) per share. As of June 30 , 2015, 7,416,766 shares of common stock of the Company were outstanding. These shares are quoted over the counter with Pink OTC Markets Inc. under the ticker symbol "SELF" and, as of June 30, 2015, are held by 34 stockholders of record. In connection with the adoption of a stockholder rights plan, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a special dividend distribution of one non-transferrable right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 28 , 2015. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, subject to adjustment. The rights will expire on November 25 , 2015 unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. The Company does not have any other securities outstanding.

Prior to 2012, the Company operated as a non-diversified management investment company with a primary investment objective to provide stockholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. At a special meeting of stockholders held on December 15, 2011 and adjourned to February 29, 2012 (the "Special Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved a proposal to change the Company's business from an investment company investing primarily in closed-end funds that invest significantly in income producing securities and a global portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities to an operating company that would own, operate, manage, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self storage facilities and would seek to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal tax purposes (the "Business Proposal"). A professionally managed self storage facility refers to a type of real property that offers storage space rental, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal or business use. The Company's self storage facilities are managed by a professional staff with significant experience in managing and operating self storage facilities. The Company has hired, and intends to continue to hire, qualified personnel with significant experience in managing and operating self storage facilities to manage the Company's properties. By doing so, the Company seeks to differentiate itself from others in the self storage industry, which is predominantly fragmented with non-professional ownership. The Company manages and operates each of its self storage facilities described below using its own personnel and does not intend to retain third party management for any of its self storage facilities.

Following stockholder approval of the Business Proposal, the Company's management has implemented the Business Proposal by terminating its investment management agreement, purchasing real property self storage facilities through wholly owned subsidiaries, and engaging in a strategy to convert from an investment company to an operating company. Registration as an investment company and compliance with the 1940 Act limits certain of the Company's business activities. By design, the 1940 Act is not intended to regulate operating companies and, as such, contains many proscriptions and limitations with respect to activities normally within the scope of an operating company's business, operations, and financial viability. Examples include a general prohibition on the granting of warrants, and requirements to obtain stockholder approval prior to issuing securities at less than the net asset value per share. In addition, the limitations imposed by Section 18 of the 1940 Act on the Company's capital structure constrain the Company's ability to borrow and otherwise manage its capital structure in ways that the Company's Board of Directors believes are prudent and reasonable for an operating company but are prohibited for a registered investment company. Such restrictions present significant obstacles to capital raising activities in which the Company would otherwise participate if it were not for its status as a registered investment company. Further, the prohibitions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act on transactions with affiliates, together with Section 23(a) of the 1940 Act, also present an obstacle to the Company by effectively prohibiting many types of incentive based compensation the Company's Board of Directors considers to be reasonable and necessary to attract and retain the best qualified persons to manage the Company's business.

Principal Business Activities

The Company currently has 20 total employees (10 full-time) and owns, operates and manages, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, seven self storage facilities located in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and South Carolina, comprising more than 80% of its net assets. All together, as of June 30, 2015 , these facilities total 486,169 net leasable square feet and offer 3, 815 storage units. In addition to traditional and climate-controlled units, many of the facilities feature both covered and outside auto/RV/boat storage.

The following table presents all of the Company's purchases of real property self storage facilities through its wholly owned subsidiaries:

We have applied to register the trademark and developed the brand "Global Self Storage." Each of the Company's self storage facilities have been renamed and re-branded to "Global Self Storage." Upon deregistration as an investment company, the Company intends to change its name to Global Self Storage, Inc. and we intend to convert all future property acquisitions to the "Global Self Storage" brand. We have developed the corporate logo (as displayed on the prior page) and have incorporated it on all of our on-site signage, advertising and other marketing materials. This branding process has included the creation and development of the www.GlobalSelfStorage.us website, whereby prospective customers can click through and read and learn about the features of any of our self storage facilities in their various locations. Existing self storage customers may also pay their storage unit rent on-line through www.GlobalSelfStorage.us. We are continuing to develop the Global Self Storage web presence through selected internet advertising and search engine optimization work. Concomitantly, we continue to solicit reviews from our customers for posting on the "Testimonials" section of our website. We have found that our most reliable source of new tenants is from our roster of current tenants through referrals. In all of our marketing efforts, nothing seems to be as productive as asking happy, satisfied tenants to recommend Global Self Storage to their family, friends, colleagues and others. All of our property managers' attention to detail – maintaining security, cleanliness and attentive customer service – can reap long term benefits for the Company in attracting more and longer-lived self storage tenants.

Each of the Global Self Storage facilities features a 24/7 Rental and Payment Center Kiosk where prospective tenants may rent a unit at any hour of the day and current tenants may pay their rent. All of our facilities have on-site property managers who are committed to delivering the finest customer service. Our customer call center handles telephone inquiries from current and prospective tenants whenever our property managers are not available, can respond to questions about our facilities and storage features, and can take storage unit reservations. We are committed to delivering convenience and care to our storage customers as well as maintaining clean and secure self storage facilities at all times.

Acquisitions and Financing

The Company currently intends to use cash, cash equivalents, and/or proceeds from sales of its remaining portfolio of investment securities to acquire and operate additional self storage facilities. For future acquisitions, the Company may use various financing and capital raising alternatives including, but not limited to, debt and/or equity offerings, credit facilities, mortgage financing, and joint ventures with third parties.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Stockholders should note that there are a number of risks related to the Company's business in connection with the implementation of the Business Proposal. Additionally, there are risks related to the operating performance of the Company's self storage facilities and the Company's performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry. There are also risks related to the Company's organization and structure and risks related to the Company's tax status as a REIT. These risks may adversely affect the Company's financial condition, yield on investment, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of its common stock and ability to satisfy debt service obligations, if any, and to make cash distributions to its shareholders. Whether the Company is a registered investment company or an operating company, an investment in the Company, like an investment in any other public company, is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of your investment.

The Company's investments are subject to concentration risk. The Company is subject to specific risks attributable to the concentration of its investments in the real estate sector and the self storage business, which are described further below. As is generally true for most companies that concentrate their holdings in a particular industry or industries, the Company may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments than is the case for companies with investments in a broader range of industries.

Risks Related to the Company's Self Storage Facility Operations

The Company's performance is subject to risks associated with operation of self storage facilities. The following factors, among others, may adversely affect the operating performance of the Company's self storage facilities:

•	Perceptions by prospective tenants of the Company's self storage properties of the safety, convenience, and attractiveness of such properties and the areas in which they are located.

•	A general decline in rental rates or an increase in tenant defaults.

•

Vacancies or inability to rent storage space on favorable terms. If the Company is unable to promptly re-let its units or if the rates upon such re-letting are significantly lower than expected, then its business and results of operations would be adversely affected. Any delay in re-letting units as vacancies arise would reduce the Company's revenues and harm the Company's operating results. In addition, lower than expected rental rates upon re-letting could adversely affect the Company's revenues and impede the Company's growth.

•

Increases in operating costs. Increases in operating costs, including insurance costs, labor costs, utilities, capital improvements, real estate assessments and other taxes and costs of compliance with REIT Requirements and with other laws, regulations and governmental policies could adversely affect the Company's results of operation and cash flow. The Company is required to pay state and local taxes on its properties. Increases in property or other taxes generally are not passed through to tenants under leases and may reduce the Company's results of operations and cash flow.

•	Actual or perceived oversupply or declining demand of self storage in a particular area.

•

Difficulties in hiring, training and maintaining skilled field personnel. The Company will depend upon its on-site personnel to maximize tenant satisfaction at each of its properties, and any difficulties the Company encounters in hiring, training and maintaining skilled field personnel may harm its operating performance. The general professionalism of a site's managers and staff are contributing factors to a site's ability to successfully secure rentals and retain tenants. If the Company is unable to successfully recruit, train and retain qualified field personnel, the quality of service could be adversely affected, which could lead to decreased occupancy levels and reduced operating performance.

•

Competition from other self storage facilities which may adversely impact the markets in which the Company invests and in which the Company's self storage companies operate. Increased competition in the self storage business has led to both pricing and discount pressure. The increased competition could limit the Company's ability to increase revenues in many markets in which it may operate. While some markets may be able to absorb the increase in self storage facilities due to superior demographics and density, other markets may not be able to absorb the additional facilities and not perform as well.

•	Industry slowdowns, relocation of business and changing demographics may adversely impact the markets in which the Company invests and in which the Company's self storage companies operate.

The Company invests in a limited number of self storage facilities. As a result, the potential effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash available for distribution to shareholders, resulting from poor performance at one or more of its self storage facilities could be more pronounced than if the Company had a more diversified portfolio of properties.

The Company's performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry. An investment in the Company is closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets in which the Company invests and subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in interest rates, inflation or deflation; declines in the value of real estate; and competition from other real estate investors with significant capital. Prevailing economic conditions may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company may be unable to complete acquisitions that would grow its business. The Company expects to make future acquisitions of self storage properties. The Company may not be successful in identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions that meet its criteria, which may impede the Company's growth. The Company may encounter competition when it seeks to acquire properties, especially for brokered portfolios. Aggressive bidding practices by prospective acquirers have been commonplace and this competition also may be a challenge for the Company's growth strategy. Should the Company pay higher prices for self storage properties or other assets, its profitability may be reduced. The Company's ability to acquire properties on favorable terms may be constrained by the following additional risks:

•	The inability to achieve satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations and other customary closing conditions.

•	The consideration paid for properties may exceed their value. Due to competition for the properties the Company seeks to acquire or otherwise, the consideration paid for certain properties may exceed their value.

•	The Company may spend more than the time and amounts budgeted to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties.

•

The Company may acquire properties subject to liabilities. The Company may acquire properties subject to liabilities without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities such as liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by persons dealing with the former owners of the properties and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties.

•	The Company may encounter delays in the selection, acquisition, development or redevelopment of self storage properties which could adversely affect returns to shareholders. Shareholders could suffer delays in the distribution of cash dividends attributable to any such properties.

The Company's investments in development and redevelopment projects may not yield anticipated returns. In deciding whether to develop or redevelop a particular property, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. To the extent that the Company engages in development and redevelopment activities, it is subject to the following risks:

•

The Company may not complete development projects on schedule or within projected budgeted amounts. The Company may underestimate the costs necessary to bring the property up to the standards established for its intended market position. Any substantial unanticipated delays or expenses could adversely affect the investment returns from these development or redevelopment projects.

•	The Company may encounter delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations.

•

The Company may be unable to increase occupancy at a newly acquired property as quickly as expected or at all. Occupancy rates and rents at newly developed or redeveloped properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in the Company's investment not being profitable.

•	The Company may be unable to obtain financing for these projects on favorable terms or at all.

•

The Company may fail to successfully integrate and operate acquired properties. When the Company acquires any self storage properties, it will be required to integrate them into its then existing portfolio. The acquired properties may turn out to be less compatible with the Company's growth strategy than originally anticipated, may cause disruptions in its operations or may divert management's attention away from day-to-day operations, which could impair the Company's results of operations.

Regulatory compliance costs will reduce the Company's income. The Company's real estate investments also are subject to risks related to changes in, and changes in enforcement of, federal, state and local laws, regulations and governmental policies, including fire and safety requirements, health, zoning and tax laws, governmental fiscal policies and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"). Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict the Company's use of its properties and may require the Company to obtain approval from local officials or community standards organizations at any time with respect to its properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of its existing properties. Further, compliance with the ADA and other regulations may require the Company to make unanticipated expenditures that could significantly reduce cash available for distribution to shareholders. A failure to comply with the ADA or similar state laws could lead to government imposed fines on the Company and/or litigation, which could also involve an award of damages to individuals affected by the noncompliance. Such noncompliance also could result in an order to correct any noncomplying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures.

In addition, the extensive environmental regulation to which the Company is subject creates uncertainty regarding future environmental expenditures and liabilities. Under environmental regulations such as the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response and Compensation Liability Act, owners and operators of real estate may be liable for the costs of investigating and remediating certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such property. Such laws often impose liability, without regard to knowledge or fault, for removal or remediation of hazardous substances or other regulated materials upon owners and operators of contaminated property, even after they no longer own or operate the property. Moreover, the past or present owner or operator of a property from which a release emanates could be liable for any personal injuries or property damages that may result from such releases, as well as any damages to natural resources that may arise from such releases. The presence of such substances or materials, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to lease, sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral.

The Company may incur liability from tenant and employment-related claims and litigation. From time to time the Company may be required to resolve tenant claims and litigation and employment-related claims and litigation by corporate level and field personnel which could result in substantial liabilities to the Company. There have been an increasing number of claims and litigation against owners and managers of rental properties relating to moisture infiltration, which can result in mold or other property damage.

Uninsured losses or losses in excess of the Company's insurance coverage could adversely affect its financial condition and cash flow. The Company maintains comprehensive liability, fire, flood, earthquake, wind, extended coverage and rental loss insurance (as deemed necessary or as required by Company lenders, if any) with respect to its properties. Certain types of losses, however, may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable, such as losses due to earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, riots, acts of war or terrorism. Should an uninsured loss occur, the Company could lose both its investment in and anticipated profits and cash flow from a property. In addition, if any such loss is insured, the Company may be required to pay significant amounts on any claim for recovery of such a loss prior to its insurer being obligated to reimburse the Company for the loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed the Company's coverage for the loss.

Perceptions of the self storage industry may affect the Company. To the extent that the investing public has a negative perception of the self storage industry, the value of the Company's securities may be negatively impacted.

The Company's investments are relatively illiquid. The Company may be unable to promptly sell one or more properties in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. The Company cannot predict whether it will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by it or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to it. The Company may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. The Company cannot give assurances that it will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. In acquiring a property, the Company may agree to transfer restrictions that materially restrict it from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These transfer restrictions may impede the Company's ability to sell a property even if it deems it necessary or appropriate. The Company may also have joint venture investments in certain of its properties and, consequently, its ability to control decisions relating to such properties may be limited.

To the extent the Company invests in publicly traded REITs, the Company's performance may be subject to the risks of investment in such securities. The value of the Company's investments in REITs may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Because REITs concentrate their assets in the real estate industry, the performance of REITs is closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural or technological developments, rising interest rates, and rising capitalization rates. REIT prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management. In addition, there are specific risks associated with particular sectors of real estate investments such as self storage, retail, office, hotel, healthcare, and multi-family properties. Many REITs utilize leverage, which increases investment risk and could adversely affect a REIT's operations and market value in periods of rising interest rates as well as risks normally associated with debt financing. In addition, a REIT's failure to qualify for conduit income tax treatment under the IRC or failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act could adversely affect its operations. The failure of these investments to perform as expected may have a significant effect on the Company's performance and its ability to make distributions to shareholders.

The Company may be unable to maintain its current level of distributions or increase distributions over time. There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to shareholders. Cash distributions will be based principally on cash available from the Company's operations. The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, such as the Company's ability to purchase or develop self storage facilities, rental income from such properties and the Company's operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. Actual cash available for distributions may vary substantially from estimates. The Company cannot assure shareholders that it will be able to maintain its current level of distributions or that distributions will increase over time. The Company may not have sufficient available cash from operations to make a distribution required to qualify for or maintain its REIT status. The Company may be required to borrow or make distributions that would constitute a return of capital which may reduce the amount of capital it invests in self storage facilities.

Risks Related to the Company's Organization and Structure

Management has no prior experience operating a REIT and complying with the income, asset and other limitations imposed by the REIT provisions of the IRC. Those provisions are complex and the failure to comply with those provisions in a timely manner could cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT or could force the Company to pay unexpected taxes and penalties. Managing a portfolio of self storage facilities under such constraints may hinder the Company's ability to achieve its objectives.

The Board may revoke or otherwise terminate the Company's REIT election without the approval of shareholders if it determines that it is no longer in the Company's best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. If the Company ceases to qualify as a REIT, it would become subject to federal income tax on its taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of its net taxable income to shareholders, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to the Company's shareholders.

The Company's business could be harmed if key personnel with business experience in the self storage industry terminate their employment with the Company. The Company's proposed executive officers have experience in the self storage industry and the Company's success will depend, to a significant extent, on their services. There is no guarantee that any of them will remain employed with the Company. The Company does not generally maintain key person life insurance. The loss of services of one or more members of the Company's senior management could harm the Company's business.

There may be conflicts of interest resulting from the relationships among the Company and its affiliates and other related parties. Various elements of the Business Proposal present potential conflicts of interest, which may continue to exist after the consummation of the Business Proposal. For instance, certain of the individuals who serve as the Company's officers and directors following the consummation of the Business Proposal currently are engaged in the management of other business entities in the self storage business. For instance, Mark C. Winmill, who directs the Company's business as a REIT, is also president of Tuxis Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Tuxis"). Tuxis is an operating company that operates a self storage facilities business, but is not a REIT. Other members of the Company's senior management are also involved in Tuxis's self storage business. The outside business interests of the Company's proposed executive officers may divert their time and attention away from the Company, and may result in a potential conflict with respect to the allocation of business opportunities, which could harm its business. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to mitigate these conflicts of interest, such as allocation procedures that the Company's senior management must follow in determining the appropriate allocation of such business opportunities. The Board of Directors of Tuxis has adopted similar policies and procedures. Specifically, if any officer or director of the Company who also serves as an officer, director, or advisor of Tuxis becomes aware of a potential transaction related primarily to the self storage business that may represent a corporate opportunity for both the Company and Tuxis, such officer or director has no duty to present that opportunity to Tuxis and the Company will have the sole right to pursue the transaction if the Board of Directors so determines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, officers or directors of the Company are encouraged to notify Tuxis of such an opportunity.

Upon deregistration under the 1940 Act, the Company will be permitted to engage in transactions with affiliates that otherwise would be prohibited by the 1940 Act. For instance, the Company will be permitted to acquire real property and related assets from, and sell real property and related assets to, its affiliates. These transactions could result in terms that are more favorable to the affiliate than would have been obtained on an arm's length basis, and could operate to the detriment of the Company's shareholders. The Company's independent directors will review all affiliated and related party transactions.

The Company may sell its common stock at a price below book value without shareholder approval. Section 23(b) of the 1940 Act generally prohibits closed-end investment companies from selling their common stock at a price below current net asset value. Upon deregistration, the Company may offer its common stock at below book value without shareholder approval.

Certain provisions of Maryland law and in the Company's Charter and Bylaws (collectively, the "Governing Documents") may prevent changes in control or otherwise discourage takeover attempts that may be beneficial to shareholders. The Company currently has provisions in its Governing Documents which could have the effect of limiting (1) the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Company, (2) the Company's freedom to engage in certain transactions, or (3) the ability of the Company's directors or shareholders to amend the Governing Documents or effectuate changes in the Company's management. Similarly, certain provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of deterring a third party from making a proposal to acquire the Company or of impeding a change in control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of the Company's capital stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of that stock. Currently, the Board has opted not to subject the Company to the statutory limitations of either the business combination provisions or the control share acquisitions provisions of Maryland law, but the Board may change this option as to either statute in the future. If the Board chooses to make them applicable to the Company, these provisions could delay, deter or prevent a transaction or change of control that might involve a premium price for holders of the Company's capital stock or might otherwise be in their best interest.

Risks Related to the Company's Tax Status as a REIT

Failure to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT may have adverse tax consequences. The following summary is limited to the federal tax risks mentioned below. Additional risks or issues may exist that are not addressed herein and could affect the federal tax treatment of the Company as a REIT or its shareholders.

Even though the Company currently qualifies for federal tax treatment as a REIT, it may face tax liabilities that will reduce its cash flow. Although the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be required to pay some federal, state and local taxes on its income and property. The Company may utilize a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), a fully taxable corporation, which may be limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made to the Company. To the extent the Company or any TRS is required to pay federal, state or local taxes, the Company will have less cash available for distribution to its shareholders.

Complying with the REIT requirements may cause the Company to forego, or to liquidate, otherwise attractive opportunities. To qualify as a REIT for federal tax purposes, the Company must continually satisfy various requirements concerning, among other things, the sources of its income, the nature and diversification of its assets, the amounts it distributes to its shareholders, and the ownership of shares. To continue to meet these requirements, the Company may be required to forego attractive business or investment opportunities. It also may be required to make distributions to its shareholders at disadvantageous times or when it does not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may adversely affect the Company's ability to maximize profits and may hinder its investment performance.

Failure to qualify for treatment as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences. Qualification for treatment as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and extremely complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within the Company's control may affect its ability to qualify for REIT treatment. Although the Company believes that it can continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify for that treatment, it can give no assurance that it will do so for any particular taxable year. The Company has not requested and does not plan to request a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel regarding its qualification as a REIT.

If the Company fails to qualify for treatment as a REIT at any time and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it would be required to pay federal income tax on its taxable income, and possibly could be required to borrow money or sell assets to pay that tax, thus substantially reducing the funds available for distribution for each year involved. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which it lost its qualification. In addition, all distributions to shareholders, including capital gain dividends, would be subject to tax as regular dividends to the extent of the Company's earnings and profits.

The Company's REIT taxable income may exceed its cash flow for a year, which could necessitate its borrowing funds and/or subject it to tax, thus reducing the cash available for distribution to its shareholders. The Company intends to make cash distributions each year sufficient to satisfy REIT distribution requirements and to

avoid liability for the REIT excise tax. There can be no assurance, however, that it will be able to do so. The Company's REIT taxable income may substantially exceed its net income as determined based on GAAP, as well as its cash flow, because, for example, realized capital losses will be deducted in determining GAAP net income but may not be deductible in computing taxable income or because it acquired assets that generate taxable income in excess of economic income or in advance of the corresponding cash flow from the assets. If the cash flow the Company generates in a particular year is less than its taxable income, it may be required to use cash reserves, incur short-term, or possibly long-term, debt or liquidate non-cash assets at rates or at times that are unfavorable in order to make the necessary distributions.

Distributions or gain on sale of shares may be treated as unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") to tax-exempt investors. If (1) a tax-exempt shareholder has incurred debt to purchase or hold shares, (2) the Company acquires real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests that generate "excess inclusion income" or (3) all or part of the Company's assets are subject to the rules relating to "taxable mortgage pools," then a part of its distributions to a tax-exempt shareholder, and in the case of a shareholder described in clause (1) gain, if any, realized on the sale of its shares, may be subject to federal income tax as UBTI.

Dividends payable by the Company will not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for qualified dividend income ("QDI"). In 2003, the maximum tax rate for QDI of shareholders who are individuals, trusts or estates was reduced from 35% to 15%; that rate is in effect through the end of 2015. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rate. Although that ineligibility does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause individual, trust and estate investors to perceive investments in REITs as relatively less attractive than investments in non-REIT corporations (including closed end funds, such as the Company in its current operating form) that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including the shares.

REIT restrictions on ownership of Company shares may delay or prevent its acquisition by a third party. For the Company to qualify as a REIT, not more than 50% of the value of its outstanding shares may be owned, directly, indirectly or constructively, by five or fewer individuals during the last half of any taxable year.

The Company may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes. At any time, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC") and/or regulatory provisions governing REITs may be amended or the administrative interpretations of those provisions may change. Any such amendment or change, which may have retroactive application, could adversely affect the Company's shareholders. The Company cannot predict whether, when, in what form(s) or with what effective date(s), the tax law applicable to the Company or its shareholders will be changed.

Item 2. Financial Information.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2014, the Company's assets were comprised of its wholly owned subsidiaries, holdings of investment securities, and cash items. Specifically, as of December 31, 2014, in aggregate, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries represented approximately 81% of the Company's total assets measured at fair value (exclusive of Government securities and cash items), and each of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries primary asset exclusive of cash, receivables, and prepaid expenses consisted of real property self storage facilities. Also, as of December 31, 2014, the Company's holdings of unaffiliated investments in equity securities and a money market fund represented approximately 19%, of the Company's total assets measured at fair value. As of December 31, 2014, the Company's money market investment, which is included as a cash item, represented approximately 9% of the Company's total assets measured at fair value.

During fiscal 2013, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries commenced operations at various times throughout the year, except for SSG Sadsbury LLC and SSG Rochester LLC, each of which commenced operations in December 2012. During this initial startup period, no distributions were paid by the subsidiaries and the Company derived virtually all of its gross income from dividends paid by, and realized gains from dispositions of shares of,

publicly traded REITs, and less than 1% from its cash items. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received interest and dividends of $452,898 from its holdings of investment securities and a time deposit.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, all of the self storage facilities owned by the Company's subsidiaries were operational for the entire year and the Company received dividends of $2,178,000 from its wholly owned subsidiaries engaged in the operation of the self storage facilities and dividends of $259,401 from its holdings of investment securities of unaffiliated issuers. Further, for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company's self storage operations earned rental and other property revenue of $3,979,860. The Company also earned $1,505,832 from realized gains from divestment of its holdings of investment securities of unaffiliated issuers for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company expects to continue to earn a majority of its gross income from its self storage facility operations as its current self storage facility operations continue to develop and as it makes additional self storage facility acquisitions. Further, the Company expects its income from investment securities and the time deposit to continue to decrease as it continues to divest its holdings of investment securities.

No subsidiary of the Company derives any of its gross income from investment securities. As of December 31, 2014, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, in aggregate, were generating approximately $331,000 of monthly rental and other property income (approximately $119,000 on a net income basis). Each self storage facility owned by the Company's subsidiaries is wholly owned and unencumbered by any debt. Further, the Company's management is actively reviewing a number of other self storage facility development and acquisition opportunities.

Importantly, we have implemented an ongoing revenue management program which includes regular internet data scraping of local competitors' prices. We do this in order to maintain our competitive market price advantage for our various sized storage units at our Global Self Storage properties. This program helps us maximize and realize our properties' occupancies and our self storage revenue and net operating income.

Includes outside auto/RV/boat storage space of approximately 13,000 square feet at SSG Sadsbury LLC, 9,900 square feet at SSG Dolton LLC, 11,170 square feet at SSG Merrillville LLC, and 5,300 square feet at SSG Summerville II LLC. During the first half of 2015, SSG Sadsbury LLC added 219 all climate controlled storage units comprising 16,756 leasable square feet. Also during the first half of 2015, SSG Bolingbrook LLC eliminated 98 parking spaces (32,700 square feet) to accommodate the new buildings construction project which, when complete, will add some 320 climate-controlled and traditional storage units totaling 45,000 leasable square feet to the facility. Approximately 42% of our total available units are climate controlled, 54% are traditional, and 4% are parking. The average effective rent per square foot was $9.93, $9.04, and $8.30 for the year-to-date ended June 30, 2015, year ended December 31, 2014, and year-to-date ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 , the average overall square foot occupancy for all of the Company's facilities combined was 90.1% , up from 87.7% on December 31, 2014 and 88.9% on June 30, 2014 . During the 2014 year, our self storage properties experienced the usual late spring and summer seasonal boost in overall occupancy as well as the predicted slight occupancy decrease during late fall and early winter. So far this year, our self storage properties again experienced the usual late spring and early summer seasonal boost in overall occupancy; we anticipate a slight occupancy decrease during late fall and early winter 2015. We believe that through our various marketing initiatives, we are continuing to attract long term value tenants who we expect will be storing with us for years. Currently, our average tenant duration of stay is over two years.

Our storage facilities are located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West regions of the country in generally highly populated and high traffic areas. In each of these areas, our marketing efforts are focused on attracting quality, long term tenants. This "tenant quality over tenant quantity" focus extends to all of our marketing and customer service efforts, especially reflected in our referral marketing program.

All of our tenant leases at all of our facilities are "month-to-month" leases. We deliver at least 30 days' written notice of any rental rate change. Lease rates at each self storage facility may be set monthly, semi-annually, annually, or at any time on a case-by-case basis as determined in the discretion of management. Tenants may be assessed late, administrative, and/or other fees. To date, the Company's subsidiaries have not had any material delinquencies.

The Company's investments in self storage facilities have a limited trading market and may be illiquid. The Company may be unable to promptly sell one or more properties in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. The Company cannot predict whether it will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by it or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to it. The Company may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. The Company cannot give assurances that it will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. In acquiring a property, the Company may agree to transfer restrictions that materially restrict it from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These transfer restrictions may impede the Company's ability to sell a property even if it deems it necessary or appropriate. The Company may also have joint venture investments in certain of its properties and, consequently, its ability to control decisions relating to such properties may be limited.

Operationally throughout 2014 and continuing into the first half of 2015, the self storage industry continued to enjoy positive trends. Demand for self storage space was sustained by the recovering job and housing markets. The industry experienced generally higher occupancies which led to higher asking rental rates in many markets. Rental rate discounting ("$1 Move-In", "First Month Free") was widely reported to be reduced due to higher occupancies. Finally, there continued to be a relatively low number of newly developed self storage properties available, further bolstering demand for existing self storage space by storage customers. It is management's expectation that this rise in demand, coupled with limited new construction, should continue to support positive absorption across all markets. The Company's management has noted in certain markets among certain well-capitalized self storage players a recent renewed interest in developing new self storage properties, in expanding existing self storage properties, and in converting and re-purposing existing well-located retail and other buildings to climate-controlled and traditional storage unit properties. We intend to continue to be a part of these new developments in self storage.

The positive operational trends described above combined with continued low interest rates have led new investors into the self storage real property market. Capitalization rates have compressed for high-quality class A institutional size properties, traditionally in demand by REITs and private equity groups. This phenomenon of many players seeking and bidding up relatively few available class A assets have sent yield-seeking investors down the quality scale to capture higher returns in stabilized assets in one-off markets and class B and C assets located in secondary and tertiary cities. We expect these trends to continue through 2015. As such, the Company intends to continue seeking investment opportunities in real property self storage facilities and to employ its strict standards in evaluating all new opportunities. Also, we intend to expand by new construction some of our self storage facilities wherever economically feasible. Global Self Storage in Sadsburyville, PA has completed the major construction of a new all climate-controlled building adding 17,500 net leasable square feet, which will bring the total net leasable square feet for that high-quality class A institutional size property to approximately 80,000 square feet. In the second half of 2015, Global Self Storage in Bolingbrook, IL intends to convert 40,000 square feet of current parking space to new climate-controlled and traditional storage unit buildings, resulting in another state-of-the-art Global Self Storage property of approximately 100,000 net leasable square feet excellently located in a Chicago suburb of favorable long term demographics. The Company currently anticipates that the Bolingbrook expansion project will cost approximately $2,200,000 and be completed prior to the end of 2015. Costs incurred to date have been approximately $40,000. Generally, each subsidiary uses a combination of capital contributions from the Company and its own respective funds from operations to pay for such capital expenditures. Next up for expansion review are the Merrillville, Rochester and Summerville II Global Self Storage facilities.

The table above is not a full and complete financial presentation of the Company's results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but is rather a summary of its self storage properties' financial highlights. For example, certain expense and income items such as "Corporate overhead expense", "Securities dividends and interest income" and "Realized gain (or losses) on securities" are not included, presented or discussed in this table. Funds From Operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses on sales of operating properties and impairment write downs of depreciable real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. The Company believes that to further understand the Company's performance, FFO should be considered along with the reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an indicator of the Company's ability to make cash distributions.

The reconciliation of the Company's Non-GAAP financial measure of its self storage properties is set forth below. The following table presents a reconciliation of the combined net income of the Company's self storage properties to FFO for the year ended December 31, 2014:

The Company has entered into a Committed Facility Agreement (the "CFA") with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. ("BNP") that allows the Company to adjust its credit facility amount up to $20,000,000, and a Lending Agreement, as defined below. Borrowings under the CFA are secured by assets of the Company that are held with the Company's custodian in a separate account (the "pledged collateral"). Interest is charged at the 1 month LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) plus 0.95% on the amount borrowed and 0.50% on the undrawn balance. Because the Company adjusts the facility amount each day to equal borrowing drawn that day, the 0.50% annualized rate charge on undrawn facility amounts provided for by the CFA has not been incurred. The outstanding loan balance and the value of eligible collateral investments as of December 31, 2013 were $1,717,040 and $5,012,126, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate and average daily amount outstanding under the CFA for the year ended December 31, 2013 were 1.13% and $207,014, respectively. The maximum outstanding balance during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1,805,823. As of December 31, 2014, there was no outstanding loan balance or assets pledged as collateral. The weighted average interest rate and average daily amount outstanding under the CFA for the year ended December 31, 2014 were 1.11% and $297,833, respectively. The maximum amount outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,717,823.

The Lending Agreement provides that BNP may borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (the "Lent Securities") in an amount not to exceed the outstanding borrowings owed by the Company to BNP under the CFA. BNP may re-register the Lent Securities in its own name or in another name other than the Company and may pledge, re-pledge, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer or use the Lent Securities with all attendant rights of ownership. The Company may designate any security within the pledge collateral as ineligible to be a Lent Security, provided there are eligible securities within the pledged collateral in an amount equal to the outstanding borrowing owed by the Company. BNP must remit payment to the Company equal to the amount of all dividends, interest, or other distributions earned or made by the Lent Securities.

Under the Lending Agreement, Lent Securities are marked to market daily and, if the value of the Lent Securities exceeds the value of the then-outstanding borrowings owed by the Company to BNP under the CFA (the "Current Borrowings"), BNP must, on that day, either (1) return Lent Securities to the Company's custodian in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings; or (2) post cash collateral with the Company's custodian equal to the difference between the value of the Lent Securities and the value of the Current Borrowings. If BNP fails to perform either of these actions as required, the Company will recall securities, as discussed below, in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Currrent Borrowings. The Company can recall any of the Lent Securities and BNP is obligated, to the extent commercially possible, to return such security or equivalent security to the Company's custodian no later than three business days after such request. If the Company recalls a Lent Security pursuant to the Lending Agreement, and BNP fails to return the Lent Securities or equivalent securities in a timely fashion, BNP shall remain liable to the Company's custodian for the ultimate delivery of such Lent Securities, or equivalent securities, and for any buy-in costs that the executing broker for the sales transaction may impose with respect to the failure to deliver. The Company shall also have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair value of such Lent Securities against the Current Borrowings. The Company earns securities lending income consisting of payments received from BNP for lending certain securities, less any rebates paid to borrowers and lending agent fees associated with the loan. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, there were no Lent Securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $3,450,946 available in cash and cash equivalents. The Company intends to use this cash and/or proceeds from sales of its remaining portfolio of investment securities for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts. During 2014, the Company experienced no loss or lack of access to our cash or cash equivalents; however, there can be no assurance that access to our cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

We expect to fund our short-term liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to stockholders out of the Company and its subsidiaries' operating cash flow, cash on hand, proceeds from sales of its remaining portfolio of investment securities, and borrowings under the CFA.

The Company's liquidity needs consist primarily of cash distributions to stockholders, self storage facility acquisitions, and non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company evaluates, on an ongoing basis, the merits of strategic acquisitions and other relationships, which may require it to raise additional funds. The Company does not expect that it and its subsidiaries' operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund its liquidity needs for certain potential future acquisitions and instead may fund such needs out of, among other things, borrowings of secured or unsecured indebtedness, the proceeds of public and private offerings of equity and debt, and/or joint ventures with third parties. Additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Any additional issuance of equity or equity linked securities may result in dilution to the Company's stockholders. In addition, any new securities the Company issues could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of the Company's common stock.

Strategy and Returns

The Company's strategy in 2014 and into 2015 continues to be to own and operate self storage facilities and maintain certain investments in the securities of large, quality companies in the REIT universe. The Company's current strategy has resulted in a total return for the year ended December 31, 2014, based on net asset value of 20.67% and a total return based on market price value of 8.72%. Distributions for the year through December 31, 2014 totaled $0.26 per share. The Company net asset value per share as of December 31, 2014 was $5.14 and its share closing market price was $3.63.

Pursuant to an arrangement between a professional employer organization ("PEO") and the Winco Affiliates, the PEO provides payroll, benefits, compliance, and related services for employees of the Winco Affiliates in accordance with applicable rules and regulations under the IRC, and, in connection therewith, Midas Management Corporation ("MMC"), a subsidiary of

For any such matters, the Company will seek to include in its financial statements the necessary provisions for losses that it believes are probable and estimable. Furthermore, the Company will seek to evaluate whether there exist losses which may be reasonably possible and, if material, make the necessary disclosures. The Company currently does not have any material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

Dividends

The Company's current distribution policy is to provide stockholders with a relatively stable cash flow and attempt to reduce or eliminate the Company's market price discount to its net asset value per share. The distributions are paid from ordinary income and any net capital gains, with the balance representing return of capital. The policy may be changed or discontinued without notice but the Company currently expects that comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future. The Company's distributions are not tied to its net investment income and net

realized capital gains and do not represent yield or investment return. The following table presents the amount of each quarterly dividend paid on the Company's common stock for the two most recent fiscal years and the first and second quarter s of 2015.

	1^st Quarter	2^nd Quarter	3^rd Quarter	4^th Quarter

Item 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

The Company did not sell any securities within the past three years which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 11. Description of Company's Securities to be Registered.

The Company is currently authorized to issue twenty million (20,000,000) shares of common stock, with a par value of ($.01) per share. As of December 31, 2014, 7,416,766 shares of common stock of the Company were outstanding. All shares of the Company's common stock have the same dividend, distribution, and voting rights and have no preemptive, conversion, exchange, or redemption rights. The Board is authorized to classify or to reclassify any unissued shares of stock of the Company, whether now or hereafter authorized, by setting, changing or eliminating the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms and conditions or rights to require redemption of the stock.

The Company's stock is fully paid and non-assessable. Shares of common stock are entitled to such dividends or distributions, in stock or in cash or both, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors, acting in its sole discretion. In case of dissolution or other liquidation of the Company, shareholders will be entitled to receive ratably per share the net assets of the Company. Each outstanding share of common stock or fraction thereof, is entitled to one vote or fraction thereof, as the case may be, on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders.

As noted previously, in connection with the adoption of a stockholder rights plan, the Board declared a special dividend distribution of one non-transferrable right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 28 , 2015. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, subject to adjustment. The rights will expire on November 25 , 2015 unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. Subject to certain exceptions in the rights agreement ("Rights Agreement"), the rights will become exercisable 10 days following a public announcement that a "person" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or a group of affiliated or associated persons have acquired "beneficial ownership" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of 18% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. In this event, however, any person who "beneficially owns" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) more than 16% of the outstanding common shares of the Company's common stock will not be permitted to exercise any rights associated with common shares beneficially owned in excess of 16% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, and those additional rights will be deemed null and void. The Board of Directors may terminate the stockholder rights plan at any time or redeem the rights, for $.01 per right, at any time before a person or a group of affiliated or associated persons beneficially owns 18% or more of the Company's common stock.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company is incorporated under Maryland law. Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law requires the Company to indemnify its directors, officers and employees against expenses, including legal fees, in a successful defense of a civil or criminal proceeding. The law also permits indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents unless it is proved that (a) the act or omission of the person was material and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active or deliberate dishonesty, (b) the person received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of a criminal action, the person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

The Company's Charter: (1) provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, a Continuing Director (as such term is defined in the Charter) or officer will not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages; (2) requires the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its present and past Continuing Directors, officers, employees, agents, and persons who are serving or have served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity; (3) provides that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Continuing Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and persons who are serving or have served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity; and (4) requires that any repeal or modification of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or adoption or modification of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws inconsistent with the indemnification provisions, be prospective only to the extent such repeal or modification would, if applied retrospectively, adversely affect any limitation on the liability of or indemnification and advance of expenses available to any person covered by the indemnification provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Article VIII of the Bylaws sets forth the procedures by which the Company shall indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a current or former Continuing Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served in a similar capacity for another entity and who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), may be provided to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance policy) is asserted against the Company by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Company also maintains a directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance policy (the "D&O/E&O Policy") on behalf of the directors and officers. Under the D&O/E&O Policy, in the event claims are made against the directors and officers, individually or collectively, for a Wrongful Act (as defined in the D&O/E&O Policy), the insurer will pay in accordance with the terms of the policy on behalf of the directors and officers or any of them, all loss resulting therefrom in excess of the applicable deductible amount which the directors and officers or any of them shall become legally obligated to pay, except for such loss (1) which the Company actually pays as indemnification, or (2) for which the Company is legally permitted to indemnify the directors and officers but does not pay as indemnification, unless such failure to pay is due to the financial incapability of the Company following its bankruptcy or receivership or, if such Company is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, its liquidation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	December 31, 2014
	Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Self Storage Group, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a non-diversified, closed end management investment company. The Company is internally managed by its officers under the direction of its Board of Directors. Its shares are quoted over the counter under the ticker symbol SELF.

On February 29, 2012, stockholders approved a proposal to change the Company's business from an investment management company to an operating company that owns, operates, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops professionally managed self storage properties (the "Business Proposal"). Until the Business Proposal is fully implemented, the Company's Board of Directors has the power to change or modify the Business Proposal if it concludes that doing so would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

As a closed end management investment company, the primary investment objective of the Company is to provide a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company has applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister as a closed end management investment company under the Act. After the Company deregisters, it will no longer be a closed end management investment company subject to its current investment objectives.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Company:

Valuation of Investments – Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is in the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price on the local exchange is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Certain debt securities may be priced through pricing services that may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features, and ratings on comparable securities. Open end investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign securities markets may be open on days when the U.S. markets are closed. For this reason, the value of any foreign securities owned by the Company could change on a day when stockholders cannot buy or sell shares of the Company. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or reliable and other assets may be valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee ("VC") of the Company under the direction of or pursuant to procedures approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, such fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available

market for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. The use of fair value pricing by the Company may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ from the net asset value that would be calculated using market prices. A fair value price is an estimate and there is no assurance that such price will be at or close to the price at which a security is next quoted or next trades.

Investments in Other Investment Companies – The Company may invest in shares of other investment companies (the "Acquired Fund") in accordance with the Act and related rules. Stockholders in the Company bear the pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of an Acquired Fund in addition to the Company's expenses. Expenses incurred by the Company that are disclosed in the statement of operations do not include fees and expenses incurred of an Acquired Fund. The fees and expenses of an Acquired Fund are reflected in such Acquired Fund's total returns.

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts – Dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Real Estate Owned - Self Storage Properties – The Company owns, operates, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops self storage properties through wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Short Sales – The Company may sell a security short it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of the security. When the Company sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker/dealer through which it made the short sale. The Company is liable for any dividends or interest paid on securities sold short. A gain, limited to the price at which the Company sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale. Securities sold short result in off balance sheet risk as the Company's ultimate obligation to satisfy the terms of the sale of securities sold short may exceed the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Investment Transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are determined by specifically identifying the cost basis of the investment sold.

Investment Income – Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as practicable after the Company is notified. Taxes withheld on income from foreign securities have been provided for in accordance with the Company's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Expenses – Expenses deemed by the Company to have been incurred solely by the Company are borne by the Company. Expenses deemed by the Company to have been incurred jointly by the Company and one or more of the other investment companies for which its affiliates serve as investment manager or other related entities are allocated on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation can be made fairly in the judgment of the Company.

Expense Reduction Arrangement – Through arrangements with the Company's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian expenses. No credits were realized by the Company during the periods covered by this report.

Distributions to Stockholders – Distributions to stockholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC"). In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its

income and assets. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax with respect to that portion of its income which meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to stockholders. The Company plans to continue to operate so that it meets the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, it would be subject to federal income

tax. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

Foreign securities held by the Company may be subject to foreign taxation. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Company invests.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Company has reviewed its tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on federal, state, and local income tax returns for open tax years (2011 – 2013), or expected to be taken in the Company's 2014 tax returns.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain officers and directors of the Company also serve as officers and directors of Winmill & Co. Incorporated ("Winco"), Bexil Corporation, Tuxis Corporation ("Tuxis"), and their affiliates (collectively with the Company, the "Affiliates"). As of December 31, 2014, certain of the Affiliates owned approximately 2% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Pursuant to an arrangement between a professional employer organization ("PEO") and the Affiliates, the PEO provides payroll, benefits, compliance, and related services for employees of the Affiliates in accordance with applicable rules and regulations under the IRC and, in connection therewith, Midas Management Corporation ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Winco, acts as a conduit payer of compensation and benefits to the Affiliates' employees including those who are concurrently employed by the Company and its Affiliates. Rent expense of concurrently used office space and overhead expenses for various concurrently used administrative and support functions incurred by the Affiliates are allocated at cost among them. The Affiliates participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan for substantially all qualified employees. A matching expense based upon a percentage of contributions to the plan by eligible employees is incurred and allocated among the Affiliates. The matching expense is accrued and funded on a current basis and may not exceed the amount permitted as a deductible expense under the IRC. The aggregate compensation accrued and paid by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $778,843. The aggregate rent and overhead accrued and paid by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $65,156. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had reimbursements payable to MMC and Winco for compensation and benefits and rent and overhead of $44,074.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had an aggregate receivable for expenses paid on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiaries of $3,372.

Under the terms of the Company's employment agreement with its President, Mark C. Winmill, the maximum monthly automobile allowance is $1,000 per month. To the extent that the monthly maximum payment under the Company's automobile lease exceeds the monthly allowance, Mr. Winmill must reimburse the Company for the excess amount. In this regard, Mr. Winmill has reimbursed the Company $1,722 for the automobile payments paid and due in 2014.

The Company leases office space from Tuxis under a rental agreement. The terms of occupancy are month to month and automatically renew, unless terminated by either party, on ten days written notice. The monthly rental charges are $1,000 per month due and payable on the first day of each month. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the total rent paid by the Company to Tuxis was $3,867.

3. DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS AND DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS The tax character of distributions paid by the Company are summarized as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
Distributions paid from:	2014		2013
Net investment income	$	450,425	$	430,633
Net realized gains		1,477,934		2,142,985

Total distributions	$	1,928,359	$	2,573,618

As of December 31, 2014, distributable earnings on a tax basis was comprised of the following:

Unrealized appreciation	$ 4,940,968

The difference between book and tax unrealized appreciation is attributable to income of the Company's wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Federal income tax regulations permit post-October net capital losses, if any, to be deferred and recognized on the tax return of the next succeeding taxable year.

GAAP requires certain components related to permanent differences of net assets to be classified differently for financial reporting than for tax reporting purposes. These differences have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. These differences which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differences in, return of capital dividends, recharacterization of capital gain income, and timing of distributions. As of December 31, 2014, the Company recorded the following financial reporting reclassifications to the net asset accounts to reflect those differences:

Increase in Undistributed Net Investment Income	Decrease in Net Realized Gain on Investments	Decrease in Paid in Capital
$19,565	$17,169	$(36,734)

4. VALUE MEASUREMENT GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

• Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including securities actively traded on a securities exchange.

• Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability which may include quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

• Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets for the security, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

direction of or pursuant to procedures approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Real estate assets may be valued by reference to, among other things, quarterly appraisals by an independent third party and additional factors which may include assessment of comparable recent acquisitions, changes in cash flows from the operation of the subject property, and material events affecting the operation of the property.

Equity securities (common and preferred stock) – Most publicly traded equity securities are valued normally at the most recent official closing price, last sale price, evaluated quote, or closing bid price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they may be categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Equities on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments may be categorized in level 2.

Restricted and/or illiquid securities – Restricted and/or illiquid securities for which quotations are not readily available or reliable may be valued with fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the VC under the direction of and pursuant to procedures approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Restricted securities issued by publicly traded companies are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities. Restricted or illiquid securities issued by nonpublic entities may be valued by reference to comparable public entities or fundamental data relating to the issuer or both similar inputs. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be categorized in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2014 in valuing the Company's assets. Refer to the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for detailed information on specific investments.

ASSETS	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments, at value
Real estate owned	$	-	$	-	$	30,830,000	$	30,830,000
Common stocks		2,255,775		-		-		2,255,775
Preferred stocks		1,186,950		-		-		1,186,950
Other		-		-		519,765		519,765
Short term investments		3,421,192		-		-		3,421,192
Total investments, at value	$	6,863,917	$	-	$	31,349,765	$	38,213,682

There were no securities transferred from level 1 at December 31, 2013 to level 2 at December 31, 2014.

The following is a reconciliation of level 3 assets including securities valued at zero:

	Real Estate Owned		Other		Total
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	27,437,500	$	94,561	$	27,532,061
Cost of purchases		300,000		-		300,000
Proceeds from sales		-		-		-
Transfers into (out of) level 3		-		-		-
Change in unrealized appreciation		3,092,500		425,204		3,517,704
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	30,830,000	$	519,765	$	31,349,765
Net change in unrealized appreciation attributable to assets still held as level 3 at December 31, 2014	$	3,092,500	$	425,204	$	3,517,704

Unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts on investments in the Statement of Operations.

The VC, under the direction of the Company's Board of Directors, considers various valuation approaches for valuing assets categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The factors used in determining the value of such assets may include, but are not limited to: marketability, professional appraisals of portfolio companies, company and industry results and outlooks, and general market conditions. The VC then recommends a value for each asset in light of all the information available. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair

value to price an investment may result in a price materially different from the price used by other investors or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the asset. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher value measurement. The pricing of all fair value assets is reported to the Company's Board of Directors.

In valuing the self storage properties owned through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, the VC used a number of significant unobservable inputs to develop a range of possible values for the properties. It used a sales comparison approach which looks at recent sales of self storage properties considered similar to the subject property, an income capitalization approach which looks at discounted cash flow analysis based on certain assumptions regarding the property's trend in income and expenses, and a cost approach which looks at recent comparable land sales in the subject area and the estimated replacement value of the existing buildings and site improvements.

The values obtained from weighting the three methods described above, with greater weight given to the sales comparison approach, were then discounted for the lack of marketability of the Company's membership interest in each subsidiary, which represents the range of rates the VC believes market participants may apply. The resulting range of values, together with the underlying support, other information about each underlying property's financial condition and results of operations and its industry outlook, were considered by the VC, which recommended a value for each subsidiary.

The following table presents additional information about valuation methodologies and inputs used for investments that are measured at fair value and categorized as level 3 as of December 31, 2014:

December 31, 2014	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range
REAL ESTATE OWNED Self Storage Properties	$	30,830,000	Income capitalization approach	Capitalization rates		5% - 8	%
OTHER	$	519,765	Liquidating value	Discount rate for lack of marketability		35	%

6. SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES Each of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries owns and operates a self storage facility business. The following sets forth unaudited summarized information as to assets, liabilities, and results of operations for each wholly-owned subsidiary as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014:

7. ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS The Company holds investments that have a limited trading market and/or certain restrictions on trading and, therefore, may be illiquid and/or restricted. These investment holdings have been valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. Illiquid and/or restricted investment holdings owned at December 31, 2014, were as follows:

	Acquisition Date	Cost			Value
SSG Bolingbrook LLC	6/27/13	$	5,700,000		$	5,950,000

8. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Purchases and proceeds of investments, excluding short term investments, were $300,000 and $5,630,252, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, for federal income tax purposes, the aggregate cost of investments was $33,272,714 and net unrealized appreciation was $4,940,968, comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $4,943,953 and gross unrealized depreciation of $2,985.

9. BORROWING AND SECURITIES LENDING The Company has entered into a Committed Facility Agreement (the "CFA") with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. ("BNP") that allows the Company to adjust its credit facility amount up to $20,000,000, and a Lending Agreement, as defined below. Borrowings under the CFA are secured by assets of the Company that are held with the Company's custodian in a separate account (the "pledged collateral"). Interest is charged at the 1 month LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) plus 0.95% on the amount borrowed and 0.50% on the undrawn balance. Because the Company adjusts the facility amount each day to equal borrowing drawn that day, the 0.50% annualized rate charge on undrawn facility amounts provided for by the CFA has not been incurred. As of December 31, 2014, there was no outstanding loan balance or assets pledged as collateral. The weighted average interest rate and average daily amount outstanding under the CFA for the year ended December 31, 2014 were 1.11% and $297,833, respectively. The maximum amount outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,717,823.

Under the Lending Agreement, Lent Securities are marked to market daily and, if the value of the Lent Securities exceeds the value of the then-outstanding borrowings owed by the Company to BNP under the CFA (the "Current Borrowings"), BNP must, on that day, either (1) return Lent Securities to the Company's custodian in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings; or (2) post cash collateral with the Company's custodian equal to the difference between the value of the Lent Securities and the value of the Current Borrowings. If BNP fails to perform either of these actions as required, the Company will recall securities, as discussed below, in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Currrent Borrowings. The Company can recall any of the Lent Securities and BNP is obligated, to the extent commercially possible, to return such security or equivalent security to the Company's custodian no later than three business days after such request. If the Company recalls a Lent Security pursuant to the Lending Agreement, and BNP fails to return the Lent Securities or equivalent securities in a timely fashion, BNP shall remain liable to the Company's custodian for the ultimate delivery of such Lent Securities, or equivalent securities, and for any buy-in costs that the executing broker for the sales transaction may impose with respect to the failure to deliver. The Company shall also have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair value of such Lent Securities against the Current Borrowings. The Company earns securities lending income consisting of payments received from BNP for lending certain securities, less any rebates paid to borrowers and lending agent fees associated with the loan. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, there were no Lent Securities.

10. INVESTMENT AND SECURITIES RISK

Foreign securities risk. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve special risks, including changes in foreign exchange rates and the possibility of future adverse political and economic developments, which could adversely affect the value of such securities. Moreover, securities of foreign issuers and traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of U.S. issuers and markets.

Non-diversification risk. The Company is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified company. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified company.

Equity securities risk. The prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

Concentration risk. The Company's assets are concentrated in investments in the real estate industry and, as a result, the value of the Company's common stock may be subject to greater volatility than an investment company with a portfolio that is less concentrated by industry. If the securities of the real estate industry or self storage companies as a group fall out of favor with investors, the Company could underperform other companies that have greater industry diversification. A more concentrated portfolio may cause the Company's net asset value to be more volatile and thus may subject stockholders to more risk. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held approximately 82% of its assets in self storage properties. Thus, the volatility of the Company's net asset value, and its performance in general, depends disproportionately more on the performance of a single industry than that of a more diversified company.

REIT risk. The Company's investments in securities of real estate companies involve risks. The REITs in which the Company invests are subject to risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk of a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers.

11. CAPITAL STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. There were no transactions in common stock during 2014 or 2013.

12. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN On November 28, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan (the "Plan") dated November 28, 2014. To implement the Plan, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend distribution of one nontransferable right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 28, 2014. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, subject to adjustment. The rights will be distributed as a non-taxable dividend and will expire at the close of business on March 27, 2015, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. The rights will be evidenced by the underlying Company common stock and no separate rights certificates will presently be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions in the rights agreement, ("Rights Agreement") the rights will become exercisable 10 days following a public announcement that a "person" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or a group of affiliated or associated persons have acquired "beneficial ownership" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of 19% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. In this event, however, any person who "beneficially owns" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) more than 17% of the outstanding common shares of the Company's common stock will not be permitted to exercise any rights associated with common shares beneficially owned in excess of 17% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, and those additional rights will be deemed null and void. The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time or redeem the rights, for $.01 per right, at any time before a person or a group of affiliated or associated persons beneficially owns 19% or more of the Company's common stock. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, certain rights owned by any person who is or becomes an acquiring person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) shall become null and void. A copy of the Rights Agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the rights is available on the Company's website at www.SelfStorageGroupInc.com.

13. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM In accordance with Section 23(c) of the Act, the Company may from time to time repurchase its shares in the open market at the discretion of and upon such terms as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during 2014 or 2013.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company indemnifies its officers and directors from certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties for the Company. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as it involves future claims that may be made against the Company under circumstances that have not occurred.

The Company leases an automobile under a lease expiring on February 25, 2017. The future minimum lease payments under the lease in aggregate are $28,913 comprised of annual payments of $13,878, $13,878, and $1,157 for the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively.

15. OTHER INFORMATION The Company may at times raise cash for investment by issuing shares through one or more offerings, including rights offerings. Proceeds from any such offerings will be invested in accordance with the Company's business strategy to acquire and operate self storage properties

	(1)The per share amounts were calculated using the average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
	(2)Total return on a market value basis is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan if in effect or, if there is no plan in effect, at the lower of the per share net asset value or the closing market price of the Company's shares on the dividend/distribution date. Generally, total return on a net asset value basis will be higher than total return on a market value basis in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total return on a net asset value basis will be lower than total return on a market value basis in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. The calculation does not reflect brokerage commissions, if any.
	(3)Expenses and income ratios do not include expenses incurred by the Acquired Funds in which the Company invests.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Self Storage Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Self Storage Group, Inc., including the schedule of portfolio investments as of December 31, 2014 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years indicated thereon. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control 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 Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Self Storage Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years indicated thereon, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	December 31, 2013
	Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Self Storage Group, Inc. (formerly Global Income Fund, Inc.), (the "Company"), is a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a non-diversified, closed end management investment Company. The Company is internally managed by its officers under the direction of its Board of Directors. Subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company intends to apply to the SEC to deregister as an investment company. Its shares are quoted over the counter under the ticker symbol SELF.

On February 29, 2012, stockholders voted to approve a proposal to change the Company's business from an investment Company investing primarily in closed end funds that invest significantly in income producing securities and a global portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities to an operating company that owns, operates, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops professionally managed self storage properties. In connection therewith, the Company has amended its fundamental investment restrictions to permit it to pursue its new business. The Company may invest in publicly traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") securities and "Real Estate Assets" (which consist of real property, interests in REITs, interests in mortgages on real property, and other investments in the real estate investment, service and related industries) as well as acquiring and operating self storage properties.

Valuation of Investments – Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is in the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price on the local exchange is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Certain of the securities in which the Company may invest are priced through pricing services that may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features, and ratings on comparable securities. Bonds may be valued according to prices quoted by a bond dealer that offers pricing services. Open end investment companies are valued at their net asset value. Foreign securities markets may be open on days when the U.S. markets are closed. For this reason, the value of any foreign securities owned by the Company could change on a day when stockholders cannot buy or sell shares of the Company. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or reliable including investvalued as determined in good faith by the Valuation committee ("VC") of the Company under the direction of or pursuant to procedures established or approved by the Company's Board of Directors, called fair value pricing. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. The use of fair value pricing by the Company may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ from the net asset value that

would be calculated using market prices. A fair value price is an estimate and there is no assurance that such price will be at or close to the price at which a security is next quoted or next trades.

Foreign currency translation – Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Realized gain or loss on sales of such investments in local currency terms is reported separately from gain or loss attributable to a change in foreign exchange rates for those investments. Foreign Currency Contracts – Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market and the change in market value is recorded by the Company as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is closed, the Company records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Company could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably.

Investments in other Investment Companies – the Company may invest in shares of other investment Companies (the "Acquired Funds") in accordance with the Act and related rules. Stockholders in the Company bear the pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of the Acquired Funds in addition to the Company's expenses. Expenses incurred by the Company that are disclosed in the Statement of Operations do not include fees and expenses incurred by the Acquired Funds. The fees and expenses of the Acquired Funds are reflected in the Company's total returns.

Real estate owned - Self Storage Properties – the Company owns, operates, manages, acquires, develops and redevelops professionally managed self storage properties through wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Investment transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are determined by specifically identifying the cost basis of the investment sold.

Expenses – Expenses deemed by the Company to have been incurred solely by the Company are borne by the Company. Expenses deemed by the Company to have been incurred jointly by the Company and one or more of the investment Companies for which its affiliates serve as investment manager or other entities are allocated on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation can be made fairly in the judgment of the Company.

Expense Reduction Arrangement – through arrangements with the Company's custodian and cash management bank, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian expenses. No credits were realized by the Company during the periods covered by this report.

Distributions to Stockholders – Distributions to stockholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes – the Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax with respect to that portion of its income which meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to stockholders. The Company plans to continue to operate so that it meets the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, it would be subject to federal income tax. The Company is subject to certain state and local taxes.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Company has reviewed its tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on federal, state, and local income tax returns for open tax years (2010 – 2012), or expected to be taken in the Company's 2013 tax returns.

Prior to 2013, the Company had qualified as a regulated investment Company ("RIC") under the IRC. As a RIC, the Company was not subject to U.S. Income taxes since it distributed to its stockholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains and it met certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. In 2013, as a result of the Company acquiring self storage properties through wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries the Company did not meet the asset diversification test to qualify as a RIC.

New Accounting Guidance – On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance, issued by the financial accounting Standards Board, that requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Adoption had no effect on the Company's net assets or results of operations.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain officers and directors of the Company also serve as officers and directors of Winmill & Co. Incorporated ("Winco"), Bexil Corporation, Tuxis Corporation, and their Affiliates (collectively with the Company, the "Affiliates"). Certain officers and directors of the Company are officers and directors of the Affiliates. Pursuant to an arrangement between a professional employer organization ("PEO") and the Affiliates, the PEO provides payroll, benefits, compliance, and related services for employees of the Affiliates in accordance with applicable rules and regulations under the IRC and, in connection therewith, Midas Management corporation ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Winco, acts as a conduit payer of compensation and benefits to the Affiliates' employees including those who are concurrently employed by the Company and its Affiliates. Rent expense of concurrently used office space and overhead expenses for various concurrently used administrative and support functions incurred by the Affiliates are allocated at cost among them. The Affiliates participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan for substantially all qualified employees. A matching expense based upon a percentage of contributions to the plan by eligible employees is incurred and allocated among the Affiliates. The matching expense is accrued and funded on a current basis and may not exceed the amount permitted as a deductible expense under the IRC. The aggregate compensation accrued and paid by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $598,124. The aggregate rent and overhead accrued and paid by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $66,388. As of December 31, 2013, the company had reimbursements payable to MMC and Winco for compensation and benefits and rent and overhead of $61,307 and $4,534, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an aggregate receivable from its wholly-owned subsidiaries of $56,837, comprised of expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of self storage properties.

3. DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS AND DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS The tax character of distributions paid by the Company are summarized as follows:

Distributions paid from:	2013		2012
Net investment income	$	430,633	$	160,952
Net realized gains		2,142,985		3,324,877
Total distributions	$	2,573,618	$	3,485,829

As of December 31, 2013, the component of distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	5,877
Unrealized appreciation		737,928
	$	743,805

The difference between book and tax unrealized appreciation is attributable to income of the Company's wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Federal income tax regulations permit post-October net capital losses, if any, to be deferred and recognized on the tax return of the next succeeding taxable year.

GAAP requires certain components related to permanent differences of net assets to be classified differently for financial reporting than for tax reporting purposes. These differences have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. These differences which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to the recharacterization of distributions. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded the following financial reporting reclassification to the net asset accounts to reflect those differences:

Increase in Undistributed	Decrease in Net Realized	Decrease in
Net Investment Income	Gain on Investments	Paid in Capital
$ (114,665)	$ 114,665	$ -

4. VALUE MEASUREMENTS GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

• Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including securities actively traded on a securities exchange.

• Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability.

requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Equity securities (common and preferred stock) – Most publicly traded equity securities are valued normally at the most recent official closing price, last sale price, evaluated quote, or closing bid price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they may be categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Preferred stock and other equities on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments may be categorized in level 2.

Restricted and/or illiquid securities – Restricted and/or illiquid securities for which quotations are not readily available or reliable may be valued with fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the VC under the direction of and pursuant to procedures established by the Company's Board of Directors. Restricted securities issued by publicly traded companies are generally valued at a discount to similar publicly traded securities. Restricted or illiquid securities issued by nonpublic entities may be valued by reference to comparable public entities or fundamental data relating to the issuer or both similar inputs. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Real estate assets – Real estate assets, including self storage facilities held indirectly through one or more wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, are valued using fair value pricing as determined in good faith by the VC under the direction of or pursuant to procedures established by the Company's Board of Directors. Real estate assets may be valued by reference to, among other things, quarterly appraisals by an independent third party and additional factors which may include assessment of comparable recent acquisitions, changes in cash flows from the operation of the subject property, and material events affecting the operation of the property.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2013 in valuing the Company's assets. Refer to the Schedule of portfolio Investments for detailed information on specific investments.

ASSETS	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments, at value
Real estate owned	$	-	$	-	$	27,437,500	$	27,437,500
Common stocks		6,171,734		-		-		6,171,734
Preferred stocks		1,456,500		-		-		1,456,500
Other		-		-		94,561		94,561
Short term investment		-		536,624		-		536,624
Total investments, at value	$	7,628,234	$	536,624	$	27,532,061	$	35,696,919

There were no securities transferred from level 1 at December 31, 2012 to level 2 at December 31, 2013. Transfers from level 1 to level 2, or from level 2 to level 1 are valued utilizing values at the beginning of the period.

The following is a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

	Real Estate Owned		Other		Total
Balance at December 31, 2012	$	7,425,000	$	-	$	7,425,000
Cost of purchases		19,475,000		-		19,475,000
Sales		-		-		-
Transfers in to (out of) level 3		-		-		-
Change in unrealized depreciation		537,500		94,561		632,061
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	27,437,500	$	94,561	$	27,532,061
Net change in unrealized appreciation attributable to assets held as level in 3 at December 31, 2013	$	537,500	$	94,561	$	632,061

Unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts on investments in the Statement of operations.

The VC, under the direction of the Company's Board of Directors, considers various valuation approaches for valuing investments categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The factors used in determining the value of the Company's private investments may include, but are not limited to: marketability, professional appraisals of portfolio companies, company and industry results and outlooks, and general market conditions. The VC then recommends a value for each investment in light of all the information available. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price an investment may result in a price materially different from the price used by other investors or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the investment. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher value measurement. The pricing of all fair value holdings is reported to the Company's Board of Directors.

In valuing the self storage properties indirectly owned as of December 31, 2013, the VC used a number of significant unobservable inputs to develop a range of possible values for the properties. It used a sales comparison approach which looks at recent sales of self storage properties considered similar to the subject property, an income capitalization approach which looks at discounted cash flow analysis based on certain assumptions regarding the property's trend in income and expenses, and a cost approach which looks at recent comparable land sales in the subject area and the estimated replacement value of the existing buildings and site improvements.

The values obtained from weighting the three methods described above with greater weight given to the sales comparison approach were then discounted for the lack of marketability of the Company's membership interest in its subsidiary, which represents the range of rates the VC believes market participants would apply. The resulting range of values, together with the underlying support, other information about each underlying properties financial condition and results of operations and its industry outlook, were considered by the VC, which recommended a value for the investment.

The following table presents additional information about valuation methodologies and inputs used for investments that are measured at fair value and categorized as level 3 as of December 31, 2013:

ASSET		Fair Value		Primary	Unobservable Input
CATEGORY	Dec. 31, 2013			Valuation Technique	Input	Range
Self Storage Properties		$	27,437,500	Sales comparison approach	Discount rate for lack of marketability		73.3% - 100	%
Other		$	94,561	Liquidating value	Discount rate for lack of marketability		80	%

The Company holds investments that have a limited trading market and/or certain restrictions on trading and, therefore, may be illiquid and/or restricted. These investment holdings have been valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. Illiquid and/or restricted investment holdings owned at December 31, 2013, were as follows:

	Acquisition Date	Cost			Value

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Purchases and proceeds of investments, excluding short term investments, were $19,475,000 and $21,931,161, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, for federal income tax purposes, the aggregate cost of investments was $34,161,353 and net unrealized appreciation was $1,535,566, comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $1,632,576and gross unrealized depreciation of $97,010.

7. BORROWING AND SECURITIES LENDING The Company has entered into a committed facility agreement (the "CFA") with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. ("BNP") that allows the Company to adjust its credit facility amount up to $20,000,000, and a lending agreement, as defined below. Borrowings under the CFA are secured by assets of the Company that are held with the Company's custodian in a separate account (the "pledged collateral"). Interest is charged at the 1 month LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) plus 0.95% on the amount borrowed and 0.50% on the undrawn balance. Because the Company adjusts the facility amount each day to equal borrowing drawn that day, the 0.50% annualized rate charge on undrawn facility amounts provided for by the CFA has not been incurred. The outstanding loan balance and the value of eligible collateral investments as of December 31, 2013 were $1,717,040 and $5,012,126, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate and average daily amount outstanding under the CFA for the year ended December 31, 2013 were 1.13% and $207,014, respectively. The maximum outstanding balance during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1,805,823.

The Lending Agreement provides that BNP may borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (the "lent Securities") in an amount not to exceed the outstanding borrowings owed by the Company to BNP under the CFA. BNP may re-register the lent Securities in its own name or in another name other than the Company and may pledge, re-pledge, sell, lend, or otherwise transfer or use the lent Securities with all attendant rights of ownership. The Company may designate any security within the pledge collateral as ineligible to be a lent Security, provided there are eligible securities within the pledged collateral in an amount equal to the outstanding borrowing owed by the Company. BNP must remit payment to the Company equal to the amount of all dividends, interest, or other distributions earned or made by the lent Securities.

Under the Lending Agreement, Lent Securities are marked to market daily and, if the value of the Lent Securities exceeds the value of the then-outstanding borrowings owed by the Company to BNP under the CFA (the "current Borrowings"), BNP must, on that day, either (1) return Lent Securities to the Company's custodian in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings; or (2) post cash collateral with the Company's custodian equal to the difference between the value of the Lent Securities and the value of the Current Borrowings. If BNP fails to perform either of these actions as required, the Company will recall securities, as discussed below, in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the current Borrowings. The Company can recall any of the Lent Securities and BNP shall, to the extent commercially possible, return such security or equivalent security to the Company's custodian no later than three business days after such request. If the Company recalls a Lent Security pursuant to the Lending agreement, and BNP fails to return the lent Securities or equivalent securities in a timely fashion, BNP shall remain liable to the Company's custodian for the ultimate delivery of such Lent Securities, or equivalent securities, and for any buy-in costs that the executing broker for the sales transaction may impose with respect to the failure to deliver. The Company shall also have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then- current fair value of such Lent Securities against the Current Borrowings. The Company earns securities lending income consisting of payments received from BNP for lending certain securities, less any rebates paid to borrowers and lending agent fees associated with the loan. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no Lent Securities.

8. INVESTMENT AND SECURITIES RISK

Foreign securities risk. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve special risks, including changes in foreign exchange rates and the possibility of future adverse political and economic developments, which could adversely affect the value of such securities. Moreover, securities in foreign issuers and markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of U.S. Issuers and markets.

Non-diversified fund risk. The Company is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund. Equity securities risk. The prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

Concentration risk. The Company's assets are concentrated in investments in the real estate industry and, as a result, the value of the Company's common stock may be subject to greater volatility than an investment Company with a portfolio that is less concentrated by industry. If the securities of the real estate industry or self storage companies as a group fall out of favor with investors, the company could underperform other Companies that have greater industry diversification. A more concentrated portfolio may cause the Company's net asset value to be more volatile and thus may subject stockholders to more risk. As of December 31, 2013, the Company held approximately 81% of its assets in self storage properties. Thus, the volatility of the Company's net asset value, and its performance in general, depends disproportionately more on the respective performance of a single industry than that of a more diversified fund.

9. CAPITAL STOCK The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. There were no transactions in common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 783 shares of common stock and increased paid in capital $3,163 in connection with shares issued in reinvestment of distributions.

As of December 31, 2013, an affiliate of the Company owned approximately 2% of its outstanding common stock.

10. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN On December 6, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan (the "plan") dated December 6, 2013. To implement the plan, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend distribution of one non-transferable right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 6, 2013. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, subject to adjustment. The rights will be distributed as a non-taxable dividend and will expire at the close of business on April 4, 2014 unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the company. The rights will be evidenced by the underlying Company common stock and no separate rights certificates will presently be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions in the rights agreement, ("Rights Agreement") the rights will become exercisable 10 days following a public announcement that a "person" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or a group of affiliated or associated persons have acquired "beneficial ownership" (as defined in the rights agreement) of 19% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. In this event, however, any person who "beneficially owns" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) more than 17% of the outstanding common shares of the Company's common stock will not be permitted to exercise any rights associated with common shares beneficially owned in excess of 17% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, and those additional rights will be deemed null and void. The Board of Directors may terminate the plan at any time or redeem the rights, for $.01 per right, at any time before a person or a group of affiliated or associated persons beneficially owns 19% or more of the Company's common stock. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, certain rights owned by any person who is or becomes an acquiring person (as defined in the rights agreement) shall become null and void. A copy of the rights agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the rights is available on the Company's website at www.selfstoragegroupinc.com.

11. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM In accordance with Section 23(c) of the Act, the Company may from time to time repurchase its shares in the open market at the discretion of and upon such terms as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company indemnifies its officers and directors from certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties for the Company. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as it involves future claims that may be made against the Company under circumstances that have not occurred. The Company leases an automobile under a lease expiring on February 24, 2014. The future minimum lease payments under the lease is $1,410 for the year ending December 31, 2014.

13. OTHER INFORMATION The Company may at times raise cash for investment by issuing shares through one or more offerings, including rights offerings. Proceeds from any such offerings will be invested in accordance with the investment objectives and policies of the Company.

(1) The per share amounts were calculated using the average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

(2) Total return on a market value basis is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan if in effect or, if there is no plan in effect, at the lower of the per share net asset value or the closing market price of the Company's shares on the dividend/distribution date. Generally, total return on a net asset value basis will be higher than total return on a market value basis in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total return on a net asset value basis will be lower than total return on a market value basis in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. The calculation does not reflect brokerage commissions, if any.

(3) Expenses and income ratios do not include expenses incurred by the Acquired Funds in which the Company invests.

Self Storage Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Self Storage group, Inc., including the schedule of portfolio investments as of December 31, 2013 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years indicated thereon. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the public Company accounting oversight Board (united States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control 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 Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Self Storage group, Inc. As of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years indicated thereon, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
