Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To Board of Directors and Shareholders

Global Self Storage, Inc.

New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses (the "Historical Summary") of the self-storage property (the "Fishers Property") as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the related notes to the financial statement.

Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Historical Summary in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Historical Summary that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility

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

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and direct operating expenses described in Note 1 of the Fishers Property for the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis of Accounting

As described in Note 1 to the Historical Summary, the Historical Summary of Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Fishers Property revenue and expenses.  Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes to Historical Summaries of Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses of the
Fishers Property (as described in Note 1)

1.	Basis of Presentation

On September 26, 2016, Global Self Storage, Inc. (the "Company") completed the acquisition of a self storage facility located in McCordsville, Indiana (the "Fishers Property") for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $7,700,000. The property was acquired from Gray Eagle Development, LLP.

The accompanying Historical Summaries of Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses (the "Historical Summaries") have been prepared for the purpose of complying with certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Fishers Property revenue and expenses. The Historical Summaries have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and as such, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the period presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The unaudited interim historical summary of revenue and direct operating expenses for the period January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016, was prepared on the same basis as the historical summary of revenue and direct operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015, and reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the unaudited interim period. The results of the unaudited interim period are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire fiscal year.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue and Expense Recognition: Rental income is recorded when earned.

Property tax expense is based upon actual amounts billed and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments have not been received from the taxing authorities or such bills and assessments are in dispute. Cost of operations and general and administrative expense are expensed as incurred.

Other Property Related Income: Consists primarily of sales of storage-related merchandise and other income. Such income is recognized when earned.

Direct Operating Expenses: Direct operating expenses exclude certain costs that may not be comparable to the future operations of the Fishers Property. Excluded items primarily consist of interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other expenses not related to the future operations of the Fishers Property.

Capital Improvements and Repairs and Maintenance:  Expenditures for significant renovations or improvements that extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes: The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will generally not be subject to corporate income taxes to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying Historical Summaries.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the Historical Summaries in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Historical Summaries and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company's current practice is to conduct environmental investigations in connection with property acquisitions. At this time, the Company is not aware of any environmental contamination of the Fishers Property that individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Company's overall business, financial condition, or results of operations.

4.	Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through October 19, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Introduction

Global Self Storage, Inc. a Maryland corporation ("SELF," the "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of self storage facilities ("stores") in the United States. The Company stores are located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Mid-West regions of the United States. The Company was formerly registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as a non-diversified, closed end management investment company. The Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") order approving the Company's application to deregister from the 1940 Act was granted on January 19, 2016. Accordingly, effective January 19, 2016, the Company changed its name to Global Self Storage, Inc. from Self Storage Group, Inc., changed its SEC registration to a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (from an investment company under the 1940 Act), and listed its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "SELF." The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"). To the extent the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be subject to tax, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. The Company invests in self storage facilities by acquiring stores through its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company operates primarily in one segment:  rental operations.

During the period from July 1, 2016 through September 26, 2016, the Company acquired two self storage properties, a 739 unit, 85,738 square foot self storage property located in Lima, Ohio on August 29, 2016 and a 418 unit, 81,561 self storage property and a retail building located in Fishers, Indiana on September 26, 2016, for a total purchase price of $13 million in cash. Collectively, these two completed acquisitions are referred to as the "2016 Mid-West Acquisitions."

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and for the period January 19, 2016 through June 30, 2016 are derived from (1) the historical financial statements of the Company as filed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 and (2) unaudited financial information regarding the 2016 Mid-West Acquisitions.

Pro forma financial information has not been provided for 2015 and for the period January 1, 2016 to January 18, 2016, since the Company was an investment company and applied the accounting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Topic 946 ("ASC 946").

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 reflects adjustments to the Company's unaudited historical financial data to give effect to the 2016 Mid-West Acquisitions as if the transactions had occurred on June 30, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period January 19, 2016 through June 30, 2016 reflect adjustments to the Company's historical financial data to give effect to the 2016 Mid-West Acquisitions as if the transactions had occurred on January 19, 2016. Additionally, the pro form condensed consolidated statement of operations give effect to the estimated incremental depreciation and amortization expense for periods that the 2016 Mid-West Acquisitions are included in the pro forma results but excluded from the Company's historical statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's actual financial position or results of operations for the period would have been as of the date and for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent the Company's future financial position or results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read, together with the notes thereto, in conjunction with the more detailed information contained in the historical financial statements referenced in this filing.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Effective January 19, 2016, upon deregistration as an investment company, the Company's status changed to an operating company from an investment company since it no longer met the assessment of an investment company under ASC 946. The Company discontinued applying the guidance in ASC 946 and began to account for the change in status prospectively in accordance with other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") topics as of the date of the change in status.

The Company's financial statements for the period subsequent to the deregistration are prepared on a consolidated basis to include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pro forma financial information has not been provided for 2015 and for the period January 1, 2016 to January 18, 2016, since the Company was an investment company and applied the accounting guidance under ASC 946.

(DD) The Company's historical statements of operations include costs related to the 2016 Mid-West Acquisitions of $61,642 for the period January 19, 2016 through June 30, 2016. Because these acquisition costs are directly related to the 2016 Mid-West Acquisitions to which we give pro forma effect as if they were acquired on January 19, 2016, a pro forma adjustment is reflected to remove $61,642 for the period January 19, 2016 through June 30, 2016.
