Dear Stockholder,
Thank you for voting or authorizing a proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Stockholders Meeting of NetREIT, Inc. originally convened on June 9, 2011. Although over 95% of the votes that have been received to date have been cast in favor of all submitted proposals, unfortunately, a quorum was not present at the time of the Annual Meeting on June 9, 2011.
Thus at the originally scheduled June 9, 2011 meeting, the proxy holders voted on and approved a proposal to adjourn the meeting to August 1, 2011, in order to provide stockholders who had not voted additional time to vote.
Since our records reflect that you have already voted, there is nothing else for you to do in advance of the August 1, 2011 Annual Stockholders Meeting. However, a previously submitted proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted as the Annual meeting by (i) delivering a proxy revocation or other duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the Corporate Secretary of NetREIT, Inc., (ii) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or, (iii) by authorizing a proxy to vote via the Internet or by telephone as instructed.
We want to thank you again for voting and for your continued investment in NetREIT, Inc. A copy of the Notice of Stockholders Meeting is enclosed with this letter in accordance with Maryland law.
Sincerely,
Jack K. Heilbron
President & CEO
NetREIT, Inc.

Dear Stockholder,
Please be advised that a quorum was not present at the Annual Stockholders Meeting of NetREIT, Inc. originally convened on June 9, 2011. Although over 95% of the votes that have been received to date have been cast in favor of all submitted proposals, without a quorum, we were unable to hold the Annual Meeting as originally scheduled.
At the originally scheduled June 9, 2011 meeting, the proxy holders voted on and approved a proposal to adjourn the meeting to August 1, 2011, in order to provide stockholders who had not voted additional time to vote. Unfortunately, rescheduling the Annual Stockholders Meeting will require that we spend additional funds to notify our stockholders and allow additional time to vote via Internet and telephone. Therefore, it is imperative that we receive your vote.
According to our records, your vote has not been received. Regardless of how many shares you own, your vote is extremely important and your shares cannot be voted unless you give your specific instructions. We ask that you please take a moment to authorize a proxy to vote today by following the telephone or Internet voting instructions contained with this notice.
If you have any questions regarding voting, you may call our proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co., LLC, toll free at 877-849-0763.
Sincerely,
Jack K. Heilbron,
President & CEO
