Exhibit 99.1

Report of Independent Auditor



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses (the “Statement”) of Village of Martinsville (referred to as the "Property") for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Management’s Responsibility for the Statement
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this Statement, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

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

Opinion
In our opinion, the Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter
As further discussed in Note 1, on December 16, 2016, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., through its subsidiary WHLR-Village of Martinsville, LLC, completed the acquisition of the Property.

The accompanying Statement was prepared as described in Note 2, 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 Property’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Village of Martinsville
Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 (Unaudited) and the Year Ended December 31, 2015

1. Business and Purchase Agreement

On October 11, 2016, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (referred to hereafter as the “Trust” or the “Company”), through its subsidiary WHLR-Village of Martinsville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WHLR-Martinsville”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement") as buyer, with Martinsville Mall, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, to acquire Village of Martinsville (the "Property"), a 297,950 square foot shopping center located in Martinsville, Virginia, for a contract price of $23.53 million. The acquisition was completed on December 16, 2016. The Property is 97% leased and is anchored by Kroger, which occupies 20.15% of the total gross leaseable area of the Property through leases that expire through July 2022.

2. Basis of Presentation

The Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses (the “Statements”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the Statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented as revenues and certain operating expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Property, have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income and amortization of above- and below-market leases.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Property leases retail space under various lease agreements with tenants. All leases are accounted for as noncancelable operating leases. The leases include provisions under which the Property is reimbursed for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance costs. Pursuant to the lease agreements, income related to these reimbursed costs is recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Certain leases contain renewal options at various periods at various rental rates. The Property recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset.

Use of Estimates
    
The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting periods to present the Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). Actual results could differ from those estimates.
