Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Generation Income Properties, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain direct operating expenses of the property located at 1220 South Duff Avenue, Ames, Iowa (the "Ames Property") for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statement (collectively referred to as the "financial statement").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain direct operating expenses of the Ames Property for the year ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAS"). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Ames Property and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statement, which describes that the accompanying financial statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Article 3-14 of the Regulation S-X (for inclusion in this Form 8-K of Generation Income Properties, Inc.) and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Ames Property's revenues and expenses. As a result, the financial statement may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statement.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

On August 23, 2024, Generation Income Properties, L.P., the operating partnership (the "Operating Partnership") of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), completed the acquisition of a 30,465 unaudited square-foot, single-tenant retail property in Ames, Iowa (the "Ames Property"). The acquisition was made by GIPIA 1220 S Duff Avenue, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and single-purpose subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that was formed for the purpose of effecting the acquisition (the "Iowa SPE"). The Operating Partnership, through the Iowa SPE, purchased the Property pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated June 13, 2024, between the Operating Partnership and Duff Daniels, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company, Westbrook Daniels, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company, and Westbrook Wolf, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (collectively, the "Seller"), at a purchase price of approximately $5.5 million, excluding transaction costs (as amended, the "Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement"). Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Purchase and Sale Agreement, effective as of August 23, 2024 (the "Ames Assignment Agreement"), the Operating Partnership assigned, and the Iowa SPE assumed, all of the Operating Partnership's right, title and interest in and under the Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement, giving the Iowa SPE the right to acquire the Ames Property pursuant to the Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Seller is not an affiliate of the Company or the Operating Partnership. The purchase price of the Ames Property and related transaction costs were funded using preferred equity of the Iowa SPE of approximately $3,080,000 purchased by JCWC Funding, LLC, a third-party investor ("JCWC"), and approximately $2,495,000 of debt financing from Valley National Bank ("Valley").
