NATIONAL STORAGE AFFILIATES TRUST
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


National Storage Affiliates Trust was organized in the state of Maryland in May of 2013 and is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust focused on the self storage sector. As used herein, "NSA," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refers to National Storage Affiliates Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. The Company intends to elect and qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2015. Through its controlling interest as the sole general partner of NSA OP, LP (its "operating partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership formed in February of 2013, the Company is focused on the ownership, operation, and acquisition of self storage properties in the United States. Pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended, the "LP Agreement") of its operating partnership, the Company's operating partnership has issued Class A Units ("OP units"), different series of Class B Units ("subordinated performance units"), and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP units"). The Company completed its initial public offering on April 28, 2015, pursuant to which it sold 23,000,000 of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("common shares"), at a price of $13.00 per share, which included 3,000,000 common shares sold upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. These transactions resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $278.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and before additional expenses associated with the offering. The Company contributed the net proceeds from its initial public offering to its operating partnership in exchange for 23,000,000 OP units.
The Company owned 293 self storage properties in 17 states with approximately 16.8 million rentable square feet in approximately 130,000 storage units as of March 31, 2016. All of the Company's properties are managed with local operational focus and expertise by the Company's participating regional operators ("PROs").
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 are derived from (i) the financial statements of the Company, (ii) the statements of revenue and certain expenses for certain actual and probable acquisitions, and (iii) financial information regarding certain other acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired 58 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $313.0 million (the "2015 Acquisitions"). During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company acquired 17 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $88.8 million and during the period from April 1, 2016 through May 24, 2016, the Company acquired 24 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of $194.3 million. Collectively, these 41 completed acquisitions are referred to as the "2016 Acquisitions." In addition, as of May 24, 2016, the Company had one self storage property under contract that is considered probable of acquisition and expected to close after May 24, 2016 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.9 million (the "Probable Acquisition").
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 gives effect to the 24 self storage property acquisitions closed between April 1, 2016 and May 24, 2016 referred to above and the Probable Acquisition, as if these events had occurred on March 31, 2016.
In addition to the historical results of operations of the Company, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 give pro forma effect to the 2015 Acquisitions, the 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition, as if all of these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2015. Additionally, the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to the following:
Completion of the Company's initial public offering as if it had occurred on January 1, 2015, which results in an increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2015;
A reduction in interest expense related to indebtedness that was repaid with the net proceeds of the initial public offering, as if such repayments had occurred on January 1, 2015;
Additional contractually required general and administrative expenses that would have been incurred as a publicly-held company had the Company completed its initial public offering on January 1, 2015;
An increase in interest expense that would have been incurred for periods that acquisitions are included in the pro forma results but excluded from the Company's historical statements of operations; 
Estimated incremental depreciation and amortization expense for periods that acquisitions are included in the pro forma results but excluded from the Company's historical statements of operations; 
Estimated net change in supervisory and administrative fees that would have been incurred had the asset management agreements with the Company been in place since January 1, 2015; and

NATIONAL STORAGE AFFILIATES TRUST
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Allocations to noncontrolling interests as a result of the completion of the initial public offering and the issuance of OP units and subordinated performance units and the issuance or vesting of LTIP units in connection with the acquisition of self storage properties by the Company as if all acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2015.
The Company's unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 10, 2016 (the "Annual Report") and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 10, 2016. The adjustments to the Company's unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on available information and assumptions that the Company considers reasonable.
The Company's unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to (i) represent the Company's financial position had the 24 self storage property acquisitions that closed between April 1, 2016 and May 24, 2016 and the Probable Acquisition occurred on March 31, 2016; (ii) represent the Company's results of operations that would have actually occurred if the 2015 Acquisitions, 2016 Acquisitions, the Probable Acquisition, and the Company's initial public offering had occurred on January 1, 2015, or (iii) project the Company's financial position or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period, as applicable.

NATIONAL STORAGE AFFILIATES TRUST
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and their controlled subsidiaries. The equity interests of limited partners in the operating partnership and its subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Company are referred to as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation and combination of entities.
2. ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
(A) Historical Balance Sheet.    Represents the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2016.
(B) Acquisitions Subsequent to March 31, 2016.    The Company acquired 24 self storage properties with an estimated fair value of approximately $194.3 million between April 1, 2016 and May 24, 2016. The allocation of the purchase price shown in the table below is based on the Company's estimates and is subject to change based on the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities incurred. Presented below is a summary that reflects the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets acquired, liabilities incurred, and the fair value of equity interests (dollars in thousands):

(D) Acquisition Advances.    As of March 31, 2016, the Company had advanced $0.2 million of the consideration related to the acquisition of a portfolio of five self storage properties. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the acquisition was completed and this entire amount was applied to partially offset the purchase price the Company paid. Accordingly, a pro forma adjustment for $0.2 million is reflected to give effect to the reduction of other assets, net and reduce the borrowings under the Company's credit facility necessary to finance these acquisitions.
(E) Acquisition Costs.    The Company expects to incur aggregate acquisition costs of $1.7 million in connection with the 24 self storage properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2016 discussed in Note B and the Probable Acquisition discussed in Note C. Acquisition costs are primarily comprised of consulting fees incurred to identify, qualify and close acquisitions. These acquisition costs will be paid with proceeds from borrowings under the Company's credit facility and results in an increase in debt financing in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016. Additionally, as discussed further in Note GG, the Company allocates U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") income (loss) utilizing the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method, in which the Company allocates income or loss based on the change in each unitholders’ claim on the net assets of its operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. For purposes of the pro forma financial information, the Company has assumed that the hypothetical liquidation of the 24 self storage properties summarized in Note B and the Probable Acquisition discussed in Note C to which the Company gives pro forma effect would result in a return of capital to the holders of the limited partner interests associated with such properties, and accordingly, the transaction costs to which the Company gives pro forma effect are allocated to the previously existing unitholders and resulted in pro forma charges to retained (deficit) earnings and noncontrolling interests of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
3. ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(AA) Historical Statement of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016.     Reflects the historical condensed consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
(BB) Impact of 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition.    The table below reflects the revenue and certain expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, consisting of the following: (i) for 2016 Acquisitions acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016, results are included for the period from January 1, 2016 through their respective date of acquisition and (ii) for the 2016 Acquisitions acquired subsequent to March 31, 2016 and the Probable Acquisition, results are included for the entire three months ended March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

(1) 
This information is derived from the respective statements of revenue and certain expenses prepared for the purposes of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. 
(2) 
The SecurCare Oklahoma self storage properties were acquired on January 1, 2016 and as such, the revenue and certain expenses for these self storage properties are included in the Company's historical results for the entirety of the three months ended March 31, 2016. 
(3) 
The information set forth in this column reflects management's estimate of the revenue and certain expenses of each property prior to each property's date of acquisition based on accounting and financial information provided by each seller to the Company as part of management's standard due diligence process in connection with the acquisition of such properties, as well as the actual revenue and expenses of such properties after the respective date of acquisition. 
(4) 
Balance reflects historical supervisory and administrative fees incurred prior to acquisition by the Company. The Company has entered into agreements with affiliates of the PROs to provide supervisory and administrative services related to the self storage properties under NSA ownership following their acquisition by the Company. Under the asset management agreements, the Company pays a fee ranging from 5% to 6% of gross revenue for the related self storage properties. These supervisory and administrative fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company's financial statements. See Note CC for the pro forma adjustment that gives effect to the asset management agreements as if such agreements had been entered into on January 1, 2015. 
The direct operating expenses shown in the table above excludes depreciation of self storage properties, amortization of customer in-place leases and interest expense on borrowings required to finance the 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments discussed under Notes DD and EE give effect to these excluded expenses.
   (CC) Incremental General and Administrative Expenses. The Company has entered into agreements with affiliates of the PROs to provide supervisory and administrative services related to the self storage properties under NSA ownership. Under the asset management agreements, the Company pays a fee ranging from 5% to 6% of gross revenue for the related self storage properties. These supervisory and administrative fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company's historical financial statements. A pro forma adjustment has been reflected for the contractual fees under such asset management agreements as if such asset management agreements had been entered into on January 1, 2015 and the contractual rates thereunder had been applied to the gross revenue of all 2015 Acquisitions, 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, pro forma adjustments of less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, are reflected for incremental supervisory and administrative fees as if the contractual rates had been applied to the gross revenue of all 2015 Acquisitions, 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition for the respective periods presented.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, an additional pro forma adjustment is reflected to give effect to incremental general and administrative expenses that the Company estimates it would have incurred as a result of becoming a public company on January 1, 2015. The adjustments include, but are not limited to, incremental salaries and benefits, board of trustees' fees and expenses, trustees and officers insurance, incremental audit, tax and legal fees, transfer agent fees and other expenses related to corporate governance, SEC reporting and other compliance matters. Amounts corresponding to services and expenses under contract have been reflected as an adjustment of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 in the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations as additional general and administrative expenses.
(DD) Incremental Depreciation and Amortization.    For the three months ended March 31, 2016, pro forma adjustments for incremental depreciation consist of the following: (i) for the 2016 Acquisitions acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016, depreciation expense is included for the period from January 1, 2016 through their respective date of acquisition, and (ii) for the 2016 Acquisitions acquired subsequent to March 31, 2016 and the Probable Acquisition, depreciation expense is included for

F-9



the entire three months ended March 31, 2016. Customer in-place leases are amortized over 12 months. Because the 2015 Acquisitions, 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition are given pro forma effect as of January 1, 2015, the entire cost of customer in-place leases related to such acquisitions is fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2015. As such, pro forma adjustments for amortization of customer in-place leases during the three months ended March 31, 2016 consist of the following: (i) for the 2015 Acquisitions, all amortization of customer in-place leases recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is eliminated, and (ii) for the 2016 Acquisitions acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016, amortization of customer in-place leases is eliminated for the period from their respective date of acquisition through March 31, 2016.

 For the year ended December 31, 2015, pro forma adjustments for incremental depreciation consist of the following: (i) for the 2015 Acquisitions acquired during the year ended December 31, 2015, depreciation expense is included for the period from January 1, 2015 through their respective date of acquisition, and (ii) for the 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition, depreciation expense is included for the entire year ended December 31, 2015. Customer in-place leases are amortized over 12 months. Because the 2015 Acquisitions, 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition are given pro forma effect as of January 1, 2015, the entire cost of customer in-place leases related to such acquisitions is fully amortized during the year ended December 31, 2015. As such, pro forma adjustments for amortization of customer in-place leases during the year ended December 31, 2015 consist of the following: (i) for the 2015 Acquisitions acquired during the the year ended December 31, 2015, amortization of customer in-place leases is included for the period from January 1, 2015 through their respective date of acquisition; (ii) for the 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition, amortization of customer in-place leases is included for the entire year ended December 31, 2015.

(EE) Interest Expense. Pro forma adjustments for interest expense are required to reflect the pro forma debt structure as if all self storage properties had been owned for the entirety of the applicable periods. The Company made the following assumptions: (i) for mortgage loans that were or will be assumed in connection with the acquisition of specific self storage properties, interest expense has been computed based on the fair value of the mortgage loans (with effective rates ranging from 2.56% to 4.27% per annum) as determined on the respective acquisition date, and (ii) for the cash portion of the purchase price, the Company assumed borrowings under the Company's credit facility with interest computed based on the effective interest rate of 2.04% as of March 31, 2016.
(FF) Elimination of Acquisition Costs.    The Company's historical statements of operations include costs related to acquisitions accounted for as business combinations of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Because these acquisition costs are directly related to acquisitions to which we give pro forma effect as if they were acquired on January 1, 2015, a pro forma adjustment is reflected to remove $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(GG) Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.    The distribution rights and priorities set forth in the operating partnership's LP Agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership interests of the unitholders. Accordingly, the Company allocates GAAP income (loss) utilizing the HLBV method, in which the Company allocates income or loss based on the change in each unitholders’ claim on the net assets of its operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. The HLBV method is a balance sheet-focused approach. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that unitholders would receive if the operating partnership were to liquidate all of its assets (at GAAP net book value) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and unitholders based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive each unitholder's share of the income (loss) for the period. After giving pro forma effect to the 2015 Acquisitions, 2016 Acquisitions and the Probable Acquisition, the application of the HLBV method resulted in an adjustment to increase the noncontrolling interests' share of net income by $2.9 million for the three months March 31, 2016 and the noncontrolling interests' share of net losses by $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s application of the HLBV method for pro forma purposes does not include assumptions regarding distributions that might have been paid on the incremental common shares of the Company and limited partner interests in its operating partnership resulting from the initial public offering and self storage property acquisitions that are included in the pro forma financial information but excluded from the historical financial information, as such assumptions would require projections and estimates of management’s intentions that are not factually supportable.
(HH) Earnings Per Share.    The following is a summary of the elements used in calculating pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

(II) Weighted average shares outstanding.    In connection with the 2016 Acquisitions, the Company issued 3,320,732 OP Units and 1,606,105 subordinated performance units. In addition, 26,200 LTIP units that were previously issued vested in connection with the 2016 Acquisitions. In connection with the 2015 Acquisitions, the Company issued 2,603,789 OP Units, 558,807 DownREIT OP units, 855,309 subordinated performance units, 1,377,115 DownREIT subordinated performance units, and 88,981 LTIP units. In addition, 99,100 LTIP units that were previously issued vested in connection with the 2015 Acquisitions. In connection with its initial public offering, the Company issued 23,000,000 common shares. The Company contributed the net proceeds from its initial public offering to its operating partnership in exchange for 23,000,000 OP units. Because these unit issuances and vestings are directly related to the acquisitions and initial public offering to which we give pro forma effect, a pro forma adjustment has been made to reflect these issuances and vestings as if they occurred on January 1, 2015. Outstanding equity interests of our operating partnership and DownREIT partnerships are considered potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share, as summarized in Note HH, and as more fully described in Note 10 in Item 8 in the Company’s Annual Report. Although subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units may only be convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions, the Company’s calculation of pro forma diluted earnings (loss) per share includes an assumed hypothetical conversion of each subordinated performance unit (including each DownREIT subordinated performance unit) into OP units (with subsequently assumed redemption into common shares). This hypothetical conversion is calculated using the same pro forma financial results from which the pro forma earnings (loss) amounts are derived.

(1) 
This information is derived from the respective statements of revenue and certain expenses prepared for the purposes of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. 
(2) 
The information set forth in this column reflects management's estimate of the revenue and certain expenses of each property prior to each property's date of acquisition based on accounting and financial information provided by each seller to the Company as part of management's standard due diligence process in connection with the acquisition of such properties, as well as the actual revenue and expenses of such properties after the respective date of acquisition. 
(3) 
Balance reflects historical supervisory and administrative fees incurred prior to acquisition by the Company. The Company has entered into agreements with affiliates of the PROs to provide supervisory and administrative services related to the self storage properties under NSA ownership following their acquisition by the Company. Under the asset management agreements, the Company pays a fee ranging from 5% to 6% of gross revenue for the related self storage properties. These supervisory and administrative fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company's financial statements. See Note CC for the pro forma adjustment that gives effect to the asset management agreements as if such agreements had been entered into on January 1, 2015. 
(LL) Impact of 2015 Acquisitions.  The impact of the 2015 Acquisitions on revenue and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 has been presented as if all of the 2015 Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2015. Revenue and property expenses prior to the acquisition of each of the 2015 Acquisitions reflects management's estimate of the revenue and certain expenses of each of the 2015 Acquisitions prior to each property's date of acquisition based on accounting and financial information provided by each

seller to the Company as part of management's standard due diligence process in connection with the acquisition of such properties, as well as the actual revenue and expenses of such properties after the respective date of acquisition.
(MM) Impact of Initial Public Offering Proceeds.    Pro forma adjustments for interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt are required to reflect the pro forma debt structure as if the Company had completed its initial public offering on January 1, 2015 and used the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding indebtedness.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, pro forma adjustments for interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt consist of the following: (i) a reduction of interest expense of $2.9 million to reflect the repayment of indebtedness on January 1, 2015, and (ii) a reduction of interest expense of $0.7 million and a corresponding increase in loss on early extinguishment of debt to reflect the earlier timing of assumed debt payoff and related write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
(NN) Elimination of Organizational and Offering Costs.   The Company's historical financial statements include organizational and offering costs of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Because these organizational and offering costs are directly related to the Company's initial public offering to which we give pro forma effect, a pro forma adjustment is reflected to remove these costs from the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.
