Organization and Basis of Presentation	'
	1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	NetREIT (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of California on January 28, 1999 for the purpose of investing in real estate properties. Effective August 4, 2010, NetREIT, a California Corporation, merged into NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, with NetREIT, Inc. becoming the surviving Corporation. As a result of the merger, NetREIT is now incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company qualifies and operates as a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") and commenced operations with capital provided by its private placement offering of its equity securities in 1999.
	The Company invests in a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. The primary types of properties the Company invests in include office/industrial, retail, self-storage and residential properties located in the western United States. As of December 31, 2013, including properties held for sale, the Company owned or had an equity interest in eleven office buildings and one industrial building ("Office Properties") which total approximately 786,000 rentable square feet, four retail shopping centers ("Retail Properties") which total approximately 186,000 rentable square feet, seven self-storage facilities ("Self-Storage Properties") which total approximately 652,000 rentable square feet, and 77 Model Homes owned by four limited partnerships ("Residential Properties").
	The Company is the sole General Partner in five limited partnerships (NetREIT 01 LP, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP, NetREIT Casa Grande LP, NetREIT Garden Gateway LP and NetREIT National City Partners, LP) and is the sole Managing Member in one limited liability company (Fontana Medical Plaza, LLC) all with ownership in real estate income producing properties. In addition, the Company is a limited partner in six partnerships that purchase and leaseback model homes from developers (Dubose Acquisition Partners II and III or "DAP II" and "DAP III" "Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3, LTD.," "Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4, LTD.," "Dubose Model Home Income Fund #5, LTD.," "Dubose Model Home Investors Fund #113, LP," "Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP," and "NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, LP"). We refer to these entities collectively, as the "Partnerships". During 2012, DAP III, Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3, Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4 and Dubose Model Home Income Fund #5 sold all their model home assets. DAP III and Dubose Model Home Income Fund #5 were dissolved before the end of 2012. Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3 and Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4 each has an investment in DAP II, its one remaining asset. Dubose Model Home Investors Fund #113, LP has one model home remaining as of December 31, 2013. The limited partnerships have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company in accordance with guidelines attributable to variable interest entities.
	In March 2010, the Company purchased certain tangible and intangible personal property from Dubose Model Homes USA ("DMHU"), including rights to certain names, trademarks and trade secrets, title to certain business equipment, furnishings and related personal property used in its previous business of purchasing model homes for investment in new residential housing tracts and initially leasing the model homes back to their developer. In addition, the Company also acquired DMHU's rights under certain contracts, including, at acquisition, contracts to provide management services to 19 limited partnerships sponsored by DMHU and for which a DMHU affiliate serves as general partner (the "Model Home Partnerships"). These partnerships included DAP II and DAP III of which the Company was a 51% limited partner in each at the time of the acquisition. The Company paid the owners of DMHU $300,000 cash and, in accordance with an earn-out provision, issued approximately 39,000 shares of Company Common Stock, as a result of the level of production the Company achieved from new model home acquisitions over the three year period ended February 28, 2013. The Company also agreed to employ three former DMHU employees. As Mr. Dubose is a Company director and was the founder, former president and principal owner of DMHU and certain of its affiliates, this transaction was completed in compliance with the Company's Board's Related Party Transaction Policy. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Management performed an analysis of intangible assets acquired and it was determined that $209,000 of the purchase price is attributable to customer relationships which is being amortized over 10 years. The Company had anticipated that the full earn-out would have been achieved and estimated a liability of $1,032,000 associated with the 120,000 shares that it believed would have been issued during the three year earn-out period. As a result, the total purchase price of $1,332,000 was allocated between goodwill of $1,123,000 and intangible assets of $209,000. In 2012, the Company reduced the liability and recognized a gain of $691,000 for the difference of the anticipated earn-out to the actual earn-out. The limited partnerships have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company in accordance with guidelines attributable to variable interest entities since their acquisition.
	In 2010, the Company formed a new subsidiary, NetREIT Advisors, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, and sponsored the formation of NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. ("NetREIT Dubose"), a Maryland corporation. NetREIT Dubose, a proposed REIT, invests in Model Homes it purchases from developers in transactions whereby the developer leases back the Model Home under a short term lease, typically one to three years in length. Upon expiration of the lease, NetREIT Dubose seeks to re-lease the Model Home until such time as it is able to sell the property. NetREIT Dubose owns substantially all of its assets and conduct its operations through a its operating partnership called NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, LP ("Operating Partnership") which is a wholly-owned Delaware limited partnership. NetREIT Advisors, LLC serves as advisor to NetREIT Dubose.
	NetREIT Dubose is authorized to issue up to 25 million shares of $0.01 shares of stock. Of these authorized shares, 20 million are common stock and 5 million are preferred stock. The Company capitalized NetREIT Dubose with $1.2 million cash in exchange for a convertible promissory note, which was converted to NetREIT Dubose common stock on September 30, 2010. NetREIT Dubose also raised outside investor capital through a Private Placement Memorandum ("PPM") that was closed on December 31, 2013. NetREIT Dubose sold approximately 924,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, or $8.0 million under the initial offering.
	NetREIT Advisors, LLC also provides management services to one remaining Model Home Partnership, pursuant to rights under the management contracts assigned to it by DMHU. This partnership is in the process of liquidating assets towards an end of life. For these services, NetREIT Advisors, LLC receives ongoing management fees and has the right to receive certain other fees when the respective partnership sells or otherwise disposes of its properties.
	In September 2010, the Company commenced three tender offers for the purchase of outstanding limited partnerships units of Dubose Model Home Income Funds #3, 4 & 5. The offerings closed effective November 30, 2010. As a result of the Company acquiring control of these three limited partnerships, their financial statements have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning in December 2010. Income Fund #5 sold its last model home in 2012 and the partnership was liquidated. Income Funds #3 and #4 have also sold all of their model homes before the end of 2012. These two funds only remaining asset is a minority ownership of DAP II.
	In August 2011, the Company formed Dubose Advisors, LLC ("Dubose Advisors"), a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, and sponsored the formation of Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP. ("201 Partnership"), a California limited partnership. Dubose Advisors is the sole general partner and advisor to the 201 partnership. The 201 Partnership invests in Model Homes it purchases from developers in transactions whereby the developer leases back the Model Home under a short term lease, typically one to three years in length similar to NetREIT Dubose. The Company initially invested $250,000 to capitalize the 201 Partnership and has raised $2,750,000 in outside investor capital through the sale of 60 limited partner units at $50,000 per unit. As of December 31, 2013, the 201 Partnership has raised the maximum $3.0 million from outside investors.
	In December 2011, the Company completed the formation of a California limited partnership, NetREIT National City Partners, LP ("National City Partnership"), whereby an unrelated limited partner contributed its fee interest in two adjacent multi-tenant industrial properties located in National City, California. The Company refers to the property as the Port of San Diego Complex. The Company contributed $465,975 cash and 1,649.266 shares of $1,000 liquidation value, 6.3% convertible preferred stock to capitalize the limited partnership. In addition, the Company contributed $2.9 million cash which was used to pay down the mortgage loan assumed by the Partnership to a balance of $9.5 million after the paydown. After completing the transactions discussed above, NetREIT has an approximate 75% interest in the National City Partnership as the sole general partner and, as a result, the National City Partnership is included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
	In March 2013, Dubose Advisors sponsored the formation of Dubose Model Home Investors #202, LP. ("202 Partnership"), a California limited partnership. Dubose Advisors is the sole general partner and advisor to the 202 partnership. The 202 Partnership invests in Model Homes it purchases from developers in transactions whereby the developer leases back the Model Home under a short term lease, typically one to three years in length similar to NetREIT Dubose. The Company initially invested $300,000 to capitalize the 202 Partnership and has raised $1,400,000 in outside investor capital through the sale of 14 limited partner units at $100,000 per unit. The 202 Partnership intends to raise up to $5 million from outside investors.
	The Company has determined that the entities described above, where it owns less than 100%, meets the tests to be considered variable interest entities ("VIE's"), as defined and, as a result, all of these entities have been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the point that it was determined to be VIE. In addition, the Company believes that it has significant control of these limited partnerships and directs the significant activities of the limited partnerships through NetREIT, the Parent Company.
	Effective January 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to consummate the merger acquisition of CHG Properties, Inc. ("CHG"), a California corporation. CHG was the property manager for all of NetREIT's properties. The Company had the option to purchase CHG pursuant to a February 15, 2005, option agreement.   The Company delivered the option exercise notice provided for in the option agreement to C I Holding Group, Inc. ("CIH"), the parent company of CHG, in November 2012. The President of CIH is Jack K. Heilbron and the Secretary of CIH is Mary Limoges. Mr. Heilbron is President and CEO of the Company, and Ms. Limoges is Mr. Heilbron's spouse. The Company determined the fair market value of CHG to be $1.9 million and the transaction was reviewed and unanimously approved by the independent Directors of the Board.
	Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company formed NTR Property Management, Inc. ("NTR"), a California corporation (note 5). NTR functions as the sole in-house property manager for the Company after the merger, reducing the Company's property management expense by the marked-up charges previously paid to CHG. The Company acquired the existing infrastructure, experienced personnel, and computer systems which were assigned to and assumed by NTR. Management has determined that the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination. Of the $1.9 million purchase price, $600,000 has been allocated to customer contracts and/or relationships. This asset is being amortized over a ten year period. The remaining purchase price of approximately $1.3 million has been recorded as goodwill. Management will conduct an impairment review on an annual basis in connection with its properties impairment review. Both of these assets, net of amortization, are included in "Other assets, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetREIT and its subsidiaries, Fontana Medical Plaza, LLC ("FMP"), NetREIT 01 LP Partnership, NetREIT Casa Grande LP Partnership, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP Partnership, NetREIT Garden Gateway, LP and Dubose Acquisition Partners II (collectively "the Partnerships") NetREIT Advisors, LLC ("Advisors"), NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. and its subsidiary, NetREIT Dubose Model Home LP, Dubose Advisors LLC, Model Home Income Funds 3, 4, 113 LTD, Dubose Model Home Investors #201 LP and Dubose Model Home Investors #202 LP (collectively, the "Income Funds") and NetREIT National City Partners, LP. As used herein, the "Company" refers to NetREIT, FMP, Advisors and the Partnerships, Income Funds, and the NetREIT National City Partners, LP, collectively. Dubose Acquisition Partners III and Model Home Income Fund 5 had operations in 2012 although they sold all of their assets and liquidated before the end of that year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in FMP, the Partnerships, and the Income Funds as part of consolidated net loss in 2013 and 2012 and includes the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of stockholders' equity from the Partnerships inception in 2009 and 2010, the effective date that the Company assumed significant control of DAP II and III in February 2010, the Income Funds acquisitions in November 2010 and November 2011 as well as NetREIT National City Partners, LP in December 2011.  If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interest will be remeasured with the gain or loss reported in the statement of operations. Management has evaluated the noncontrolling interests and determined that they do not contain any redemption features.
	Federal Income Taxes. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its stockholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. As a REIT, no provision will be made for federal income taxes on income resulting from those sales of real estate investments which have or will be distributed to stockholders within the prescribed limits. However, taxes will be provided for those gains which are not anticipated to be distributed to stockholders unless such gains are deferred pursuant to Section 1031. In addition, the Company will be subject to a federal excise tax which equals 4% of the excess, if any, of 85% of the Company's ordinary income plus 95% of the Company's capital gain net income over cash distributions, as defined.
	Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) on the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, because of net losses, all distributions were considered return of capital to the stockholders and therefore non-taxable.
	The Company believes that it has met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed interest or penalties for tax positions by any major tax jurisdictions.
	Real Estate Asset Acquisitions. The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") which requires the purchase price of acquired properties to be allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, a land purchase option, long-term debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.
	The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and tenant improvements) based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the building was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land, building and building improvements are based on many factors including, but not limited to, comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area and independent third party valuations. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.
	The total value allocable to intangible assets acquired, which consists of unamortized lease origination costs, in-place leases and tenant relationships, are allocated based on Management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by Management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease and the tenant's credit quality, among other factors.
	The value allocable to above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) Management's estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below market leases are included in real estate assets and lease intangibles, net in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Amortization of above and below market rents resulted in a net reduction in rental income of approximately $169,000 and $446,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases, which range from less than a year to ten years. The amount allocated to acquire in-place leases is determined based on management's assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the "assumed vacant" property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount allocated to unamortized lease origination costs is determined by what the Company would have paid to a third party to secure a new tenant reduced by the expired term of the respective lease. The amount allocated to tenant relationships is the benefit resulting from the likelihood of a tenant renewing its lease. Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $455,000 and $604,000 for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Capitalization Policy.  The Company capitalizes any expenditure that replace, improve, or otherwise extend the economic life of an asset in excess of $5,000 for any given project. This includes tenant improvements and lease acquisition costs (leasing commissions, space planning fees, legal fees, etc.) that are in excess of $5,000.
	Sales of Real Estate Assets.  Gains from the sale of real estate assets will not be recognized under the full accrual method by the Company until certain criteria are met. Gain or loss (the difference between the sales value and the cost of the real estate sold) shall be recognized at the date of sale if a sale has been consummated and the following criteria are met:
		a.	The buyer is independent of the seller.
		b.	Collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.
		c.	The seller will not be required to support the operations of the property or its related obligations to an extent greater than its proportionate interest.
	Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the criteria for full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances.
	As of December 31, 2013, Management has concluded that there are 8 Model Home properties, aggregating approximately $3.1 million, which are considered as held for sale and are included in real estate assets. These homes have mortgage notes payable of approximately $1.3 million. Management has also estimated that all of the homes held for sale will result in a gain on the sale and therefore, there are no asset impairments established at December 31, 2013 related to the sale of these assets.
	Depreciation and Amortization of Buildings and Improvements. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The cost of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 30 to 55 years for buildings, improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or term of the tenant lease which range from 1 to 10 years, and 4 to 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Depreciation expense for buildings and improvements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
	Intangible Assets. Lease intangibles represents the allocation of a portion of the purchase price of a property acquisition representing the estimated value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs, tenant relationships and a land purchase option. Intangible assets are comprised of finite-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Indefinite-lived assets are not amortized. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives.
	The Company is required to perform a test for impairment of goodwill and other definite and indefinite lived assets at least annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant. Based on the review, no impairment was deemed to exist at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Other intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amount of intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life is regularly reviewed for indicators of impairments in value. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered to be unrecoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. Based on the review, no impairment was deemed necessary at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Impairment. The Company reviews the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company prepares a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determines if the investment in such property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value based on the Company's best estimate of the property's discounted future cash flows. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its Havana Parker property and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $1.5 million. In addition, through the Company's annual impairment review performed annually in the fourth quarter 2013, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its Morena Office Centre Center property and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $500,000. In 2012, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its Waterman Plaza property and "other real estate" resulting in recording an asset impairment of $300,000. and approximately $1.3 million, respectively. (Note 10)
	Provision for Mortgage Loan Losses. Accounting policies require the Company to maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses with respect to mortgage loans it has made based upon its evaluation of known and inherent risks associated with the mortgage loans it has made in the past. Management reflects provisions for loan losses based upon its assessment of general market conditions, its internal risk management policies and credit risk rating system, industry loss experience, its assessment of the likelihood of delinquencies or defaults, and the value of the collateral underlying its investments. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. There have been no provisions for loan losses at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include money market funds. At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $4.9 million in deposits in financial institutions that were above the federally insurable limits.
	Restricted Cash. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow for Company lenders for properties held as collateral by the lenders. The funds in escrow are primarily for escrow funds for payment of property taxes.
	Tenant Receivables. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease agreements. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable that arises from straight-lining of rents. The Company exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of allowance for possible uncollectible tenant receivables included in other assets, net was $115,000 and $69,000, respectively.
	Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs. Deferred leasing costs incurred in connection with successful property leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized to leasing commission expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases which generally range from one to five years. Deferred leasing costs consist of third party leasing commissions. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the tenants and economic and market conditions change. If Management determines the estimated remaining life of the respective lease has changed, the amortization period is adjusted. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $1,465,000 and $1,059,000, respectively. Total amortization expense related to leasing costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $321,000 and $204,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in rental operating costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Deferred financing costs are costs incurred, including legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees, in connection with debt financing that are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the contractual term of the respective loans. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred financing costs were approximately $1,184,000 and $1,065,000, respectively. Total amortization expense related to financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $297,000 and $192,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements, and other revenue once all of the following criteria are met:
		a.	persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
		b.	delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
		c.	the amount is fixed or determinable; and
		d.	the collectability of the amount is reasonably assured.
	Annual rental revenue is recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred or as specified in the leases. Tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.
	Certain of the Company's leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals. The Company records as an asset, and includes in rental income, deferred rent receivable that will be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Deferred rent receivable, included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred rent receivable totaled approximately $1,384,000 and $1,054,000, respectively. Accordingly, the Company determines, in its judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. The Company reviews material deferred rent receivable, as it relates to straight-line rents, on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, we would record an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts and we would record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable. No such reserves have been recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Interest income on mortgages receivable is accrued as it is earned. The Company stops accruing interest income on a loan if it is past due for more than 90 days or there is doubt regarding collectability of the loan principal and/or accrued interest receivable.
	Loss Per Common Share. Basic loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (the "numerator") by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the "denominator") during the period. Diluted loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is similar to the computation of Basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest recognized in the period associated with any convertible debt. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per share.
	The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic loss per common share computation to the denominator of the diluted loss per common share computations, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
			Year Ended
			December 31,
			2013		2012
	Weighted average shares used for Basic EPS			16,170,865		15,479,474
	Add:
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Adjusted weighted average shares used for diluted EPS			16,170,865		15,479,474
	Weighted average shares from share based compensation, shares from conversion of NetREIT 01 LP Partnership, Casa Grande LP Partnership, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP Partnership, NetREIT Garden Gateway LP Partnership, NetREIT National City Partners LP Partnership  and shares from stock purchase warrants with respect to a total of 1,325,339 shares of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 1,303,649 shares of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2012, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
	Fair Value Measurements. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The guidance requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:
	Level 1  -  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
	Level 2  -  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3  -  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
	Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company's cash equivalents, mortgage notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued liabilities all approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Management believes that the recorded and fair value of notes payable are approximately the same as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between land, building and intangible assets acquired including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants' ability to pay and the provision for possible loan losses with respect to mortgages receivable and interest. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
	Segments. The Company acquires and operates income producing properties including office properties, residential properties, retail properties and self-storage properties and invests in real estate assets, including real estate loans and, as a result, the Company operates in four business segments. See Note 10 "Segment Information".
	Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures.  Square footage, occupancy and other measures used to describe real estate and real estate-related investments included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on an unaudited basis.
	Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the accompanying financial statements were filed with the SEC for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.
	Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of consolidated operations or stockholders' equity.

	5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Through January 31, 2013, the Company had a property management agreement with CHG Properties, Inc. ("CHG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CI, to manage all of its properties at rates up to 5% of gross income. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid CHG total management fees of approximately $113,000 and $610,000, respectively.
	During the term of the property management agreement, the Company had an option to acquire the business conducted by CHG. The option was exercisable, with the approval of a majority of the Company's directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, without any consent of the property manager, its board or its shareholders. The option price to be paid in shares of the Company was determined by a predefined formula based on the net income of CHG during the 6-month period immediately preceding the month in which the acquisition notice is delivered. In January 2013, the Company completed the purchase of CHG. See Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation" for further discussion.
	The Company leases a portion of its corporate headquarters at Pacific Oaks Plaza in Escondido, California to an entity 100% owned by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and another related party. Total rents charged and paid by these affiliates was approximately $43,000 and $60,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	In January 2012, the limited partner of NetREIT 01, LP (the "Partnership") that owned the 7-Eleven property exercised its option to convert approximately 30.0% of its ownership interests in the Partnership in exchange for approximately 17,060 shares of Company common stock. In March 2012, the Company bought back all of these shares from the limited partner at a price per share that was determined when the Partnership was formed, which, adjusted for stock dividends, was $8.44 per share. After conversion, our interest in the Partnership increased to approximately 77%. The stock buy-back transaction was subjected to the Company's related party transaction policy which requires a review of the transaction by the uninterested parties of the Audit Committee and a subsequent vote by the Company's Board of Directors. In 2012, the 7-Eleven property was sold and the Partnership exchanged that property by acquiring The Presidio property.
	The limited partner of NetREIT 01, LP is the Allen Trust DTD 7-9-1999. William H. Allen, a Director of the Company and Chairman of the Audit Committee, is a beneficiary and a trustee of the trust. The Partnership was formed approximately one year before Mr. Allen became a Board Member.

	Common Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock ("Common Stock") $0.01 par value and 1,000 shares of Series B Common Stock $0.01 par value. The Common Stock and the Series B Common Stock have identical rights, preferences, terms and conditions except that the Series B Common Stockholders are not entitled to receive any portion of Company assets in the event of Company liquidation. There have been no Series B Common Stock shares issued. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption and it does not have any preference, conversion, exchange or preemptive rights. The articles of incorporation contain a restriction on ownership of the Common Stock that prevents one person from owning more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 16,473,674 and 15,767,418 shares, respectively, of the Common Stock outstanding.
	Undesignated Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 8,990,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, to determine the designation of any such series, and to determine or alter the rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock including the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price, and liquidation preference. The Company has not issued any shares of this preferred stock.
	Convertible Series AA Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors authorized the original issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock as Series AA ("Series AA"). Each share of Series AA (i) is non-voting, except under certain circumstances as provided in the Articles of Incorporation; (ii) is entitled to annual cash dividends of 7% which are cumulative and payable quarterly; (iii) ranks senior, as to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon liquidation, to common stock or any other series of preferred stock that is not senior to or on parity with the Series AA; (iv) is entitled to receive $25.00 plus accrued dividends upon liquidation; (v) may be redeemed by the Company prior to the mandatory conversion date at a price of $25.00 plus accrued dividends, and (vi) may be converted into two shares of common stock at the option of the holder prior to the mandatory conversion date. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Company has not issued any shares of this preferred stock.
	Convertible Series 6.3% Preferred Stock. In December 2011, the Company filed Supplementary Articles to its articles of incorporation by adding the authorization to issue up to 10,000 shares of Series 6.3% convertible preferred stock out of the previously authorized undesignated preferred stock discussed above. Each share of 6.3% preferred stock has a $1,000 liquidation preference.
	In December 2011, the Company issued approximately 1,649 shares of its Series 6.3% Preferred Stock to the NetREIT National City Partnership, LP, an entity that is consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The terms of the preferred stock provide for a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and cumulative dividends from the date of original issue at a rate of 6.3% per annum (equal to an annual rate of $63.00 per share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. As of December31, 2013, the liquidation preference would have been $1,649,000. Dividends on the preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears subject to declaration by the Board of Directors and compliance with applicable law. All the shares issued to the partnership are subject to an option for the limited partner to exchange his interest in the partnership to equity in NetREIT.
	The Series 6.3% preferred stock is convertible at any time at the holder's option into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion rate of 116.28 shares of NetREIT's common stock per share of preferred stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.60 per share. Based on the initial conversion rate, approximately 191,755 shares of common stock would be issuable upon conversion of all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock.
	The Company may also elect, at its option, to redeem some or all of the preferred stock at any time upon proper notice at the liquidation preference amount plus any unpaid accrued dividends.
	Broker Dealer Warrants. Warrants have been issued pursuant to the terms of the respective $10.50 broker agreement and the Participating Broker Dealer Agreement in connection with the private placement offering that closed on December 31, 2011. Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at the exercise price of $10.50 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The exercise price, the number and kind of securities issuable on exercise of any Warrant, and the number of Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event the Company pays stock dividends or makes stock distributions with respect to its common stock. Adjustments will also be made upon any reclassification of the Company's common shares or in the event the Company makes certain pro rata distributions of options or warrants to its common stockholders. The warrant agreements also provide for adjustments in the event the Company consummates certain consolidation or merger transactions, and in the event the Company sells all, or substantially all, of its assets. Warrant holders do not have any voting or other rights of the Company's stockholders and are not entitled to receive dividends or other distributions. As of the close of the private placement, a total of 451,235 warrants to purchase NetREIT common stock were earned. These warrants have an exercise price ranging from $9.52 to $10.50 with a weighted average exercise price of $9.63. All warrants expire on December 31, 2014.
	Limited Partnerships. In 2008, the Company and the other tenant in common contributed their respective equity ownership in the Escondido 7-Eleven to NetREIT 01 LP, a California limited partnership. Initially, the limited partner had an option to exchange its equity interest in the property into shares of NetREIT common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.30 per share up to 77,369 shares. In 2009, the partner exchanged one third of its interests in the partnership into 25,790 shares of Company common stock. In 2012, the partner exchanged approximately 30% of its interests in the partnership for 17,060 shares of Company common stock. Adjusted for stock dividends, the partner has the rights to exchange its remaining interests in the partnership for up to 39,806 shares of Company common stock. The Company has a put option to convert the partner's equity interests in NetREIT 01 LP into shares of Company common stock at $8.44 per share for up to 39,806 common shares upon the completion of an initial public offering of shares to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
	In October 2009, NetREIT and 5 former tenants in common of Casa Grande Apartments and Palm Self-Storage contributed their respective ownership interests in these properties into NetREIT Casa Grande LP and NetREIT Palm LP. In exchange for the contribution of property, the owners became limited partners of these partnerships and NetREIT became the general partner. The partners have an option to exchange their equity interest in the partnership for up to 457,028 shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $8.44 per share. The Company has a put option to convert the partner's equity interests in these limited partnerships to shares of Company common stock at $8.44 per share for up to 457,028 shares.
	In February 2010, NetREIT and a former tenant in common of Garden Gateway Plaza contributed their respective ownership interests in these properties into NetREIT Garden Gateway LP. In exchange for the contribution of property, the owners became a limited partner of this partnership and NetREIT became the general partner. The partner has an option to exchange their equity interest in the partnership for up to 105,000 shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.52 per share. The Company has a put option to convert the partner's equity interests in these limited partnerships to shares of Company common stock at $9.52 per share for up to 105,000 shares.
	In June 2011, the Company formed Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP for the purpose of raising capital for the acquisition of Model Homes to be leased back to the builder/seller.
	In December 2011, the Company and an unrelated party formed NetREIT National City Partnership, LP. In exchange for the contribution of property, the seller became a limited partner of this partnership. The Company is the sole general partner. The limited partner has the option to exchange its partnership units into approximately 1,649 shares of convertible series 6.3% preferred stock. The shares of the convertible series 6.3% preferred stock can be converted into 191,755 shares of NetREIT Series A common stock.
	Share-Based Incentive Plan. An incentive award plan has been established for the purpose of attracting and retaining officers, key employees and non-employee board members. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a Restricted Stock plan ("Restricted Stock") in December 2006 and granted nonvested shares of restricted common stock effective January 1 since the year of adoption. The nonvested shares have voting rights and are eligible for any dividends paid to common shares. The share awards vest in equal annual instalments over a three or five year period from date of issuance. The Company recognized compensation cost for these fixed awards over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, using the straight-line attribution expense method.
	The value of the nonvested shares was calculated based on the offering price of the shares in the most recent private placement offering of $10 adjusted for stock dividends since granted and assumed selling costs. The value of granted nonvested restricted stock issued during the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled approximately $656,000 which is calculated using the most recent private placement offering of $10 adjusted for estimated selling costs. The value of granted nonvested restricted stock issued during the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled approximately $490,000. Compensation expense recorded was approximately $482,000 and $485,000 in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The 80,495 nonvested restricted shares as of December 31, 2013 will vest in equal instalments over the next two to nine years.
	A table of non-vested restricted shares granted and vested since December 31, 2011 is as follows:
	Balance, December 31, 2011	63,777
	Granted	57,016
	Vested	(57,577	)
	Cancelled	(411	)
	Balance, December 31, 2012	62,805
	Granted	76,283
	Vested	(57,034	)
	Cancelled	(1,559	)
	Balance, December 31, 2013	80,495
	Cash Dividends. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid cash dividends, net of reinvested stock dividends, of $4,578,000, and $4,262,000, respectively, or at an annualized rate $0.543 per share on an annualized basis. As the Company reported net losses in both of these periods, and on a cumulative basis, these cash dividends represent a return of capital to the stockholders rather than a distribution of earnings. The Company paid cash dividends on the Convertible Series 6.3% Preferred Stock of approximately $105,000 in the year ended December 31, 2013. The dividends were paid to a subsidiary that is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company and, as a result, have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that allows stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of Company common stock. The Company has registered 1,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan. The dividend reinvestment plan became effective on January 23, 2012 just after the close of our private placement offering discussed above. The purchase price per share is 95% of the price the Company was formerly selling its shares for $9.50 per share. No sales commission or dealer manager fee will be paid on shares sold through the dividend reinvestment plan. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Any such amendment, suspension or termination will be effective upon a designated dividend record date and notice of such amendment, suspension or termination will be sent to all Participants at least thirty (30) days prior to such record date. As of December 31, 2013, the second year under the plan, approximately $7.9 million, or approximately 836,000 shares of common stock have been issued under the dividend reinvestment plan.

	Operating Leases. The Company has operating leases with tenants that expire at various dates through 2021 and are either subject to scheduled fixed increases or adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. Generally, the leases grant tenants renewal options. Leases also provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses. Future contractual minimum rent due the Company under operating leases as of December 31, 2013 for five years and thereafter are summarized as follows:
	Years Ending:	Scheduled Payments
	2014	$	11,329,800

	The Company has a noncancelable ground lease obligation on World Plaza expiring in June 1, 2062. The current annual rent of $21,910 is subject to adjustment every ten years based on the Cost of Living Index for the Los Angeles area compared to the base month of June 1963 which was 107.4. At the termination of the lease, the Company has an option to purchase the property for a total purchase price of $181,710. In September 2007, when World Plaza was acquired, the option was determined to have a fair value of $1,370,000 based upon comparable land sales adjusted to present value.
	Scheduled payments due on the lease obligation as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Segments	'
	9. SEGMENTS
	The Company's reportable segments consist of the four types of commercial real estate properties for which the Company's decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Residential Properties, Industrial and Office Properties, Retail Properties, and Self-Storage Properties. The Company also has certain corporate level activities including accounting, finance, legal administration and management information systems which are not considered separate operating segments.
	The Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income. Net operating income is defined as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other property income) less property and related expenses (property expenses, real estate taxes, ground leases and provisions for bad debts) and excludes other non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Company's significant accounting policies (see Note 2). There is no intersegment activity.
	The following tables reconcile the Company's segment activity to its results of operations and financial position as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
	In January 2014, the limited partner of NetREIT 01, LP (the "Partnership") that owns the Presidio, exercised its option to convert approximately 52.8% of its ownership interests in the Partnership in exchange for approximately 21,000 shares of Company common stock. After conversion, our interest in the Partnership increased to approximately 89%. In January 2014, the Company agreed to purchase all of these shares from the limited partner at a price per share that was determined when the partnership was formed, which, adjusted for stock dividends, was $7.858 per share. The stock purchase transaction was subjected to the Company's related party transaction policy which requires a review of the transaction by the uninterested parties of the Audit Committee and a subsequent vote by the Company's Board of Directors and was formally approved in December 2013.
	Effective March 1, 2014, the limited partner elected to convert all remaining interests in the Partnership in exchange for 18,807 shares of Company common stock. The Company will buy these shares back in January 2015 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $147,800.
	In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that an additional impairment existed on its Havana Parker property and recorded an asset impairment of $1.5 million. At December 31, 2013, the book value of the property was $3.5 million and the property was encumbered with a CMBS loan with a balance of $3.1 million and a maturity date of July 1, 2016. The Company commenced paying the net cash flow from the property in order to get the loan assigned to the proper Servicing Agent qualified to negotiate a modification of the loan. The net cash flow is substantially less than the monthly payment due. The Company has made reduced mortgage payments for the previous five (5) mortgage payments. In May 2013, months before the decision to pay only the net cash flow generated by the Property, the Company engaged a third party consultant with experience in modification of CMBS loans to have the terms of the loan modified by the lender on the property. Negotiations with the lender are currently ongoing. However, on March 4, 2014, the Company received a notice of foreclosure from the lender stating that the covenants of the deed of trust have been violated for failure to pay principal and interest when due together with all other payments provided for in the evidence of debt secured by the deed of trust and other violations.  The notice also included a Notice of Sale of the real property to be held on June 25, 2014. We expect that the debt service requirements will be reduced and term of the loan will be extended or we will be allowed to pay off the loan at a discounted amount prior to the date of sale. We have evaluated the potential loss contingency in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and concluded that it is not likely at this time that the Company will experience further loss. However, if the negotiations are not successful, the Lender may move forward with the court action and foreclose on the property. The loan on the Havana Parker property is non-recourse.
	From the time that the Company commenced paying only net cash flow, scheduled payments through December 31, 2103 totaled approximately $100,000 and the Company paid approximately $24,000. The Company has accrued all interest and late charges through December 31, 2013.

Significant Accounting Policies	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetREIT and its subsidiaries, Fontana Medical Plaza, LLC ("FMP"), NetREIT 01 LP Partnership, NetREIT Casa Grande LP Partnership, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP Partnership, NetREIT Garden Gateway, LP and Dubose Acquisition Partners II (collectively "the Partnerships") NetREIT Advisors, LLC ("Advisors"), NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. and its subsidiary, NetREIT Dubose Model Home LP, Dubose Advisors LLC, Model Home Income Funds 3, 4, 113 LTD, Dubose Model Home Investors #201 LP and Dubose Model Home Investors #202 LP (collectively, the "Income Funds") and NetREIT National City Partners, LP. As used herein, the "Company" refers to NetREIT, FMP, Advisors and the Partnerships, Income Funds, and the NetREIT National City Partners, LP, collectively. Dubose Acquisition Partners III and Model Home Income Fund 5 had operations in 2012 although they sold all of their assets and liquidated before the end of that year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in FMP, the Partnerships, and the Income Funds as part of consolidated net loss in 2013 and 2012 and includes the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of stockholders' equity from the Partnerships inception in 2009 and 2010, the effective date that the Company assumed significant control of DAP II and III in February 2010, the Income Funds acquisitions in November 2010 and November 2011 as well as NetREIT National City Partners, LP in December 2011.  If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interest will be remeasured with the gain or loss reported in the statement of operations. Management has evaluated the noncontrolling interests and determined that they do not contain any redemption features.
Federal Income Taxes	'
	Federal Income Taxes. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its stockholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. As a REIT, no provision will be made for federal income taxes on income resulting from those sales of real estate investments which have or will be distributed to stockholders within the prescribed limits. However, taxes will be provided for those gains which are not anticipated to be distributed to stockholders unless such gains are deferred pursuant to Section 1031. In addition, the Company will be subject to a federal excise tax which equals 4% of the excess, if any, of 85% of the Company's ordinary income plus 95% of the Company's capital gain net income over cash distributions, as defined.
	Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) on the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, because of net losses, all distributions were considered return of capital to the stockholders and therefore non-taxable.
	The Company believes that it has met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed interest or penalties for tax positions by any major tax jurisdictions.
Real Estate Asset Acquisitions	'
	Real Estate Asset Acquisitions. The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") which requires the purchase price of acquired properties to be allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, a land purchase option, long-term debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.
	The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and tenant improvements) based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the building was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land, building and building improvements are based on many factors including, but not limited to, comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area and independent third party valuations. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.
	The total value allocable to intangible assets acquired, which consists of unamortized lease origination costs, in-place leases and tenant relationships, are allocated based on Management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and the Company's overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by Management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease and the tenant's credit quality, among other factors.
	The value allocable to above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) Management's estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below market leases are included in real estate assets and lease intangibles, net in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Amortization of above and below market rents resulted in a net reduction in rental income of approximately $169,000 and $446,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases, which range from less than a year to ten years. The amount allocated to acquire in-place leases is determined based on management's assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the "assumed vacant" property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount allocated to unamortized lease origination costs is determined by what the Company would have paid to a third party to secure a new tenant reduced by the expired term of the respective lease. The amount allocated to tenant relationships is the benefit resulting from the likelihood of a tenant renewing its lease. Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $455,000 and $604,000 for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Capitalization Policy	'
	Capitalization Policy.  The Company capitalizes any expenditure that replace, improve, or otherwise extend the economic life of an asset in excess of $5,000 for any given project. This includes tenant improvements and lease acquisition costs (leasing commissions, space planning fees, legal fees, etc.) that are in excess of $5,000.
Sales of Real Estate Assets	'
	Sales of Real Estate Assets.  Gains from the sale of real estate assets will not be recognized under the full accrual method by the Company until certain criteria are met. Gain or loss (the difference between the sales value and the cost of the real estate sold) shall be recognized at the date of sale if a sale has been consummated and the following criteria are met:
		a.	The buyer is independent of the seller.
		b.	Collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.
		c.	The seller will not be required to support the operations of the property or its related obligations to an extent greater than its proportionate interest.
	Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the criteria for full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances.
	As of December 31, 2013, Management has concluded that there are 8 Model Home properties, aggregating approximately $3.1 million, which are considered as held for sale and are included in real estate assets. These homes have mortgage notes payable of approximately $1.3 million. Management has also estimated that all of the homes held for sale will result in a gain on the sale and therefore, there are no asset impairments established at December 31, 2013 related to the sale of these assets.
Depreciation and Amortization of Buildings and Improvements	'
	Depreciation and Amortization of Buildings and Improvements. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The cost of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 30 to 55 years for buildings, improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset or term of the tenant lease which range from 1 to 10 years, and 4 to 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Depreciation expense for buildings and improvements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets. Lease intangibles represents the allocation of a portion of the purchase price of a property acquisition representing the estimated value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs, tenant relationships and a land purchase option. Intangible assets are comprised of finite-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Indefinite-lived assets are not amortized. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives.
	The Company is required to perform a test for impairment of goodwill and other definite and indefinite lived assets at least annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant. Based on the review, no impairment was deemed to exist at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Other intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying amount of intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite useful life is regularly reviewed for indicators of impairments in value. Impairment is recognized only if the carrying amount of the intangible asset is considered to be unrecoverable from its undiscounted cash flows and is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset. Based on the review, no impairment was deemed necessary at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Impairment	'
	Impairment. The Company reviews the carrying value of each property to determine if circumstances that indicate impairment in the carrying value of the investment exist or that depreciation periods should be modified. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company prepares a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, of the specific property and determines if the investment in such property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value based on the Company's best estimate of the property's discounted future cash flows. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its Havana Parker property and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $1.5 million. In addition, through the Company's annual impairment review performed annually in the fourth quarter 2013, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its Morena Office Centre Center property and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $500,000. In 2012, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its Waterman Plaza property and "other real estate" resulting in recording an asset impairment of $300,000. and approximately $1.3 million, respectively. (Note 10)
Provision for Mortgage Loan Losses	'
	Provision for Mortgage Loan Losses. Accounting policies require the Company to maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses with respect to mortgage loans it has made based upon its evaluation of known and inherent risks associated with the mortgage loans it has made in the past. Management reflects provisions for loan losses based upon its assessment of general market conditions, its internal risk management policies and credit risk rating system, industry loss experience, its assessment of the likelihood of delinquencies or defaults, and the value of the collateral underlying its investments. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. There have been no provisions for loan losses at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include money market funds. At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $4.9 million in deposits in financial institutions that were above the federally insurable limits.
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow for Company lenders for properties held as collateral by the lenders. The funds in escrow are primarily for escrow funds for payment of property taxes.
Tenant Receivables	'
	Tenant Receivables. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under lease agreements. In addition, the Company maintains an allowance for deferred rent receivable that arises from straight-lining of rents. The Company exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of allowance for possible uncollectible tenant receivables included in other assets, net was $115,000 and $69,000, respectively.
Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs	'
	Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs. Deferred leasing costs incurred in connection with successful property leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized to leasing commission expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases which generally range from one to five years. Deferred leasing costs consist of third party leasing commissions. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the tenants and economic and market conditions change. If Management determines the estimated remaining life of the respective lease has changed, the amortization period is adjusted. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $1,465,000 and $1,059,000, respectively. Total amortization expense related to leasing costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $321,000 and $204,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in rental operating costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Deferred financing costs are costs incurred, including legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees, in connection with debt financing that are capitalized as deferred financing costs and are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the contractual term of the respective loans. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred financing costs were approximately $1,184,000 and $1,065,000, respectively. Total amortization expense related to financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $297,000 and $192,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements, and other revenue once all of the following criteria are met:
		a.	persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
		b.	delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
		c.	the amount is fixed or determinable; and
		d.	the collectability of the amount is reasonably assured.
	Annual rental revenue is recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Estimated recoveries from certain tenants for their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the applicable expenses are incurred or as specified in the leases. Tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.
	Certain of the Company's leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals. The Company records as an asset, and includes in rental income, deferred rent receivable that will be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Deferred rent receivable, included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred rent receivable totaled approximately $1,384,000 and $1,054,000, respectively. Accordingly, the Company determines, in its judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. The Company reviews material deferred rent receivable, as it relates to straight-line rents, on a quarterly basis and takes into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, we would record an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts and we would record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable. No such reserves have been recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Interest income on mortgages receivable is accrued as it is earned. The Company stops accruing interest income on a loan if it is past due for more than 90 days or there is doubt regarding collectability of the loan principal and/or accrued interest receivable.
Loss Per Common Share	'
	Loss Per Common Share. Basic loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (the "numerator") by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the "denominator") during the period. Diluted loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is similar to the computation of Basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest recognized in the period associated with any convertible debt. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per share.
	The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic loss per common share computation to the denominator of the diluted loss per common share computations, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
			Year Ended
			December 31,
			2013		2012
	Weighted average shares used for Basic EPS			16,170,865		15,479,474
	Add:
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Adjusted weighted average shares used for diluted EPS			16,170,865		15,479,474
	Weighted average shares from share based compensation, shares from conversion of NetREIT 01 LP Partnership, Casa Grande LP Partnership, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP Partnership, NetREIT Garden Gateway LP Partnership, NetREIT National City Partners LP Partnership  and shares from stock purchase warrants with respect to a total of 1,325,339 shares of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 1,303,649 shares of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2012, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The guidance requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:
	Level 1  -  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
	Level 2  -  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3  -  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
	Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company's cash equivalents, mortgage notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued liabilities all approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Management believes that the recorded and fair value of notes payable are approximately the same as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between land, building and intangible assets acquired including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants' ability to pay and the provision for possible loan losses with respect to mortgages receivable and interest. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Segments	'
	Segments. The Company acquires and operates income producing properties including office properties, residential properties, retail properties and self-storage properties and invests in real estate assets, including real estate loans and, as a result, the Company operates in four business segments. See Note 10 "Segment Information".
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures	'
	Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures.  Square footage, occupancy and other measures used to describe real estate and real estate-related investments included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on an unaudited basis.
Subsequent Events	'
	Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the accompanying financial statements were filed with the SEC for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of consolidated operations or stockholders' equity.
