Description of Properties

In June 2006, we purchased the Havana/Parker Complex which consists of 7 attached three story office buildings located in Aurora, Colorado.

We borrowed $3.6 million to finance this purchase at the date of acquisition. In December 2010, through the course of the Company’s annual review of property values for possible permanent impairment of value, we determined that the Havana/Parker Complex value had been impaired and, as a result, recorded an impairment of $1 million.

Market Information
Our common stock is not currently traded on any stock exchange or electronic quotation system. We do not expect that our common stock will be traded on any stock exchange or electronic quotation system.
Dividend Policy
We plan to pay at least 90% of our annual REIT Taxable Income to our shareholders in order to maintain our status as a REIT. We have paid dividends to our shareholders at least quarterly since the first quarter we commenced operations on April 1, 1999.
We intend to continue to declare quarterly distributions. However, we cannot provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of future distributions. Although we eventually intend to make cash dividend distributions out of our operating cash flow and proceeds from the sale of properties, we do not presently have sufficient operating cash flow to do so, and we do not anticipate generating sufficient cash flow from operations to do so in the near future. Therefore, to fund our future dividends, we expect that we will continue to rely on proceeds from additional borrowings of secured or unsecured debt and from proceeds from the sale of properties until such time that our cash flow from operations exceeds the amount of cash dividends paid to shareholders. In the event that we are unable to make distributions out of cash flow from operations, or cannot secure additional equity or debt financing, our ability to declare and pay a cash dividend on our common stock may be materially limited.
To the extent that we make distributions in excess of our earnings and profits, as computed for federal income tax purposes, these distributions will represent a return of capital, rather than a dividend, for federal income tax purposes. Distributions that are treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes generally will not be taxable as a dividend to a U.S. shareholder, but will reduce the shareholder’s basis in its shares (but not below zero) and therefore can result in the shareholder having a higher gain upon a subsequent sale of such shares. Return of capital distributions in excess of a shareholder’s basis generally will be treated as gain from the sale of such shares for federal income tax purposes.
Annually, we provide each of our shareholders a statement detailing distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, capital gain or return of capital. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, all distributions were non-taxable as they were considered return of capital to the shareholders.
Number of Holders of Each Class of Stock
As of March 15, 2012, there were 2,976 holders of our Series A common stock and a single holder of our Convertible Series 6.3% preferred stock.
Securities Issued Under our 1999 Flexible Incentive Plan
The Company established the 1999 Flexible Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining employees. The Plan provides that no more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock can be issued under the Plan. At December 31, 2011, the maximum number of shares that could be issued under the plan was approximately 1,528,800 shares. Prior to 2006, the Company awarded approximately 56,000 stock options. In 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a restricted stock compensation plan under the Plan. There have been approximately 197,000 restricted shares granted since adopting the restricted stock compensation plan. At December 31, 2011, the amount of common shares available for future grants under the Plan is approximately 1,275,800 shares.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
Growth and Expansion. During the last three years, we have completed the acquisition of eleven income producing properties, forty-nine model home properties and invested in five income producing real estate partnerships with investments in model home properties. During the earlier years we built our operational and administrative infrastructure, including hiring a staff of quality employees, to give us the capability to become a large real estate investing company as well as having the resources to deal with the additional burden of compliance with the SEC rules and regulations. As a percentage of total revenue our general and administrative expense has decreased from 42% in 2009 to 27% in 2011 and we anticipate that general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue will drop to approximately 20% in 2012. Therefore, we anticipate that our net loss will decline further in 2012and we will become profitable in the future.
On March 1, 2010, the Company acquired the assets and six employees of DMHU. Later that year, the Company formed NetREIT Advisors and transferred the four remaining DMHU employees to this newly formed LLC. NetREIT Advisors began managing and serving as external advisor to NetREIT Dubose. NetREIT Advisors’ general and administrative expenses are currently approximately $73,000 per month. NetREIT Advisors generated fees of approximately $406,000 and $330,000 during the years ended December 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. NetREIT Dubose will continue to make additional property acquisitions and we expect revenues less rental operating costs to increase at a far greater rate than their general and administrative expenses.
During the last three years we experienced rapid growth, having increased capital by approximately 71.8% to $82.8 million at December 31, 2011 from approximately $48.2 million at December 31, 2008. Our investment portfolio, consisting of real estate assets, lease intangibles, investment in real estate ventures, land purchase option and mortgages receivable, have increased by 130.5% to approximately $149.8 million at December 31, 2011 from $65.0 million at December 31, 2008. The primary source of the growth in the portfolio during these three years was attributable to the issuance of common shares of approximately $73.9 million and from proceeds from mortgage notes payable, net of principal repayments, of approximately $44.4 million.
Economic Environment
The United States continues to show a slow recovery from the recession that began in 2007. The current economic environment is still characterized by increased residential housing foreclosures and an oversupply of homes available for purchase, depressed commercial real estate valuations, weak consumer spending, employment anxiety and concerns of inflation and higher interest rates. In general, US corporations’ net income and investments has shown improvement. However, the housing sector has so far not significantly improved. We believe that the pace of this recovery will likely be slow and disjointed. Full recovery will need increasing job growth, but it will not be consistent across industries, geographies or periods of the year causing an uneven tempo of growth.
Recent U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns, together with signs of deteriorating sovereign debt conditions in Europe, have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic slowdowns. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+” in August 2011. The impact of this or any further downgrades to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating, or its perceived creditworthiness, and the impact of the current crisis in Europe with respect to the ability of certain European Union countries to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations is inherently unpredictable and could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. There can be no assurance that governmental or other measures to aid economic recovery will be effective. Although the government intends to keep interest rates low through 2014, these developments and the government’s credit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. Continued adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, this difficult economic environment could adversely affect our tenants’ financial condition and make it difficult for them to continue to meet their obligations to us. We have been successful maintaining relatively even levels of occupancy at our stabilized properties; however, overall progress to date in the office leasing velocity and pricing has been inconsistent both regionally and across assets of differing quality. Vacancy rates in our markets appear to have reached the top and are starting to descend at a slow pace. Several years may be required before vacancy rates decline sufficiently to support meaningful growth in rents.
Our involvement in retail properties has been limited, however, we are seeing more rental inquiries. Retail demand for space in 2012 is expected to be positive for the first time since 2007. Although the increase is expected to be modest we, expect that well situated properties, including ours, will benefit from the improving economy.
Economic growth rates have shown trends of slow growth in recent periods and inflation rates in the United States have remained low. Changes in inflation/deflation are sometimes associated with changes in long-term interest rates, which may have a negative impact on the value of the portfolio we own. To mitigate this risk, we will continue to seek to lease our properties with fixed rent increases and/or with scheduled rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or other indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located. To the extent that the CPI increases, additional rental income streams may be generated from these leases and thereby mitigate the impact of inflation.
Management Evaluation of Results of Operations
Management evaluates our results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality and quantity of properties and seeking to increase value in our real estate. Management focuses its efforts on improving underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively selling assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. The ability to increase assets under management is affected by our ability to raise capital and our ability to identify appropriate investments.
Management’s evaluation of operating results includes an assessment of our ability to generate cash flow necessary to fund distributions to our shareholders. As a result, management’s assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effects of unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows. Management’s evaluation of our potential for generating cash flow includes assessments of our recently acquired properties, our unstabilized properties, the long-term sustainability of our real estate portfolio, our future operating cash flow from anticipated acquisitions, and the proceeds from sales of our real estate.
In light of the distressed nature of the commercial real estate economy in the past several years, including 2010 and 2011, we have exercised extreme caution with respect to potential property acquisitions, and consequently, we consummated fewer property acquisitions which resulted in the accumulation of significant cash balances that affected our current cash flow due to the very low yield on cash equivalents. Net operating income from our properties, from newly acquired properties and from the model home division growth, is increasing at a faster rate than our general and administrative expenses due to efficiencies of scale. We therefore believe that when most or all of our properties are operating at stabilized rates, and when excess available cash on hand is fully invested plus future acquisitions, we will be able to fund our future distributions to our shareholders from cash flow from operations.
We seek to diversify our portfolio by segments of commercial real estate segments to reduce the adverse effect of a single under-performing segment, geographic market and tenant industry.
As of December 31, 2011, we owned or had a controlling interest in nine Office Properties which total approximately 543,000 rentable square feet, five Retail Properties which total approximately 171,000 rentable square feet, six Self-Storage Properties which total approximately 581,000 rentable square feet, one Industrial property of approximately 146,700 rentable square feet, one Multi Residential Property and 79 model home properties.
NetREIT’s properties are located primarily in Southern California, Colorado with a single property located in North Dakota and Wyoming. Our model home properties are located in fourteen states throughout the United States. We do not develop properties but acquire properties that are stabilized or that we anticipate will be stabilized within two years of acquisition. We consider a property to be stabilized once it has achieved an 80% occupancy rate for a full year as of January 1 of such year, or has been operating for three years. Our geographical clustering of assets enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale by servicing a number of properties with less staff, but it also makes us more susceptible to changing market conditions in these discrete geographic areas.
Most of our office and retail properties are leased to a variety of tenants ranging from small businesses to large public companies, many of which do not have publicly rated debt. We have in the past entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements for real estate having net leases that require the tenant to pay all of the operating expense (Net, Net, Net Leases) or pay increases in operating expenses over specific base years.
Most of our office leases are for terms of 3 to 5 years with annual rental increases built into such leases. In general, we have been experiencing decreases in rental rates in many of our submarkets due to continuing recessionary conditions and other related factors when leases expire and are extended. We cannot give any assurance that as the older leases expire or as we add new tenants that rental rates will be equal to or above the current market rates. Also, decreased demand and other negative trends or unforeseeable events that impair our ability to timely renew or re-lease space could have a negative effect on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
The Residential Properties are rented on a short term basis of less than six months for our apartment property and typically 2 to 3 years for our model home leases. The Self-Storage Properties are rented pursuant to rental agreements that are for no longer than 6 months. The Self-Storage Properties are located in markets having other self-storage properties. Competition with these other properties will impact our operating results of these properties, which depends materially on our ability to timely lease vacant self-storage units, to actively manage unit rental rates, and our tenants’ ability to make required rental payments. To be successful, we must be able to continue to respond quickly and effectively to changes in local and regional economic conditions by adjusting rental rates of these properties within their regional market in Southern California. We depend on advertisements, flyers, websites, etc. to secure new tenants to fill any vacancies.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Certain accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as they require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. As a company primarily involved in owning income generating real estate assets, management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. For a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, see note 2 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Federal Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our shareholders 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 shareholders within the prescribed limits. However, taxes will be provided for those gains which are not anticipated to be distributed to shareholders 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.
Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders 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, 2011 and 2010, all distributions were considered return of capital to the shareholders and therefore non-taxable.
We believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
REAL ESTATE ASSETS
Property 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 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 market rents was $295,248 for the year ended December 31, 2011. There was no amortization of above and below market rents in 2010.
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 $451,306 and $343,205 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets require us to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocation, which would impact the amount of our net income.
Sales of Real Estate Assets. Gains from the sale of real estate assets will not be recognized under the full accrual method 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, 2011, management has concluded that there are 17 model home properties aggregating approximately $5.0 million which are considered as held for sale and are included in real estate assets. These homes have mortgage notes payable of approximately $1.6 million. Management has also estimated that, of the homes held for sale, 16 of the home sales would result in an aggregate loss of approximately $399,000 and has recorded the estimated loss included in asset impairment in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
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, 2011 and 2010, was $3,571,924 and $3,014,603, 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. We assess our intangible assets for impairment at least annually.
We are required to perform a test for impairment of other definite and indefinite lived intangible assets at least annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant. Our testing date is the end of our calendar year. Based on our current reviews, no impairment was deemed necessary at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
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, 2011 or 2010.
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. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its model home properties not currently held for sale and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $30,000. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company determined that an impairment existed with respect to its Havana Parker Complex property and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $1 million.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements, and other revenue once all of the following criteria are met:
• | | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
• | | delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
• | | the amount is fixed or determinable; and |
• | | 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. Other tenants pay a fixed rate and these tenant recoveries are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases.
Certain of our leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals. We record as an asset, and include in revenues, 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 in the accompanying 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. Accordingly, we determine, in our judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. We review material deferred rent receivable, as it relates to straight-line rents, on a quarterly basis and take 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 record an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts, we record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable. No such reserves related to deferred rent receivables have been recorded as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.
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.
Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S GAAP and IFRS. This update defines fair value, clarifies a framework to measure fair value, and requires specific disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance will be effective for the Company's interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2012, and applied prospectively. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This new guidance allows entities to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value in order to determine if quantitative testing is required. This qualitative assessment is optional and is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of annual goodwill impairment tests. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is allowed provided the entity has not yet performed its 2011 impairment test or issued its financial statements. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2011-08 and the ASU did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
THE FOLLOWING IS A COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
Our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, interest expense, rental operating expense, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization will significantly increase in future periods as a result of the assets acquired over the last four years and as a result of anticipated growth through future acquisitions of real estate related investments.
RECENT EVENTS HAVING SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISONS
Property Acquisitions
In March 2010, the Company purchased certain tangible and intangible personal property from DMHU, including rights to certain names, trademarks and trade secrets, title to certain business equipment, furnishings and related personal property. DMHU had used these assets 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 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 include DAP II and DAP III in each of which the Company was a 51% limited partner. In the DMHU Purchase, the Company paid the owners of DMHU $300,000 cash and agreed to issue up to 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, depending on the levels of production the Company achieves from its newly formed Model Homes Division over the next three years. The Company also agreed to continue to employ three former DMHU employees and to pay certain obligations of DMHU, including its office lease which expired on September 30, 2010. As Mr. Dubose is a Company director and was the founder and 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 has been accounted for as a business combination. Management performed an analysis of intangible assets acquired with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist and it was determined that $209,000 of the purchase price is attributable to customer relationships and will be amortized over 10 years. The Company also estimated a liability of $1,032,000 associated with the 120,000 shares that it believes will be issued in the future. As a result of this acquisition, total goodwill of $1,123,000 was recorded. The Company’s investment in DAP II and DAP III are consolidated into the financial statements of NetREIT effective March 1, 2010.
The Company has formed its Model Homes Division which pursues investment activities based on DMHU’s business model. The Model Homes Division’s activities will initially include the purchase and leaseback of Model Homes in new residential housing tract developments and providing management services to the 19 Dubose Partnerships. To pursue this business, the Company formed a new subsidiary, NetREIT Advisors and is sponsoring the formation of NetREIT Dubose. NetREIT Dubose invests in Model Homes it purchases from developers in transactions where 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 generally re-leases the Model Home to the homebuilder until such time as it is able to sell the property. NetREIT Dubose conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. NetREIT Advisors serves as the advisor to NetREIT Dubose.
NetREIT Advisors provides management services to the 19 Dubose Partnerships, pursuant to the rights under the management contracts assigned to it by DMHU. For these services, NetREIT Advisors receives ongoing management fees and has the right to receive certain other fees when the respective partnership sells or otherwise disposes of its properties.

Financing
In February 2005, we commenced a private placement offering of up to $50 million of (i) Series AA Preferred Stock and (ii) units, each unit consisting of two shares of our common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 (now $9.87, as adjusted for stock dividends) exercisable as of the date of issuance and expiring if not exercised on or prior to March 31, 2010. Each Unit was priced at $20.00 and the Series AA Preferred Stock was priced at $25.00 per share. A total of 433,204 Units were sold in this offering comprising an aggregate of 433,204 warrants to purchase common stock and 866,408 shares of common stock, and a total of 50,200 shares of the Series AA Preferred Stock were sold in this offering. The Company redeemed all of the shares outstanding in May 2010 at their face or book value.
In October 2006 we terminated our offering of Series AA Preferred Stock and Units, and we commenced a new offering of up to $200 million in shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share. Net proceeds received from this offering, after commissions, due diligence fees, and syndication expenses, were approximately $13.3 million in 2010 and $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net proceeds were primarily used to acquire properties and to expand our administrative staff and support capabilities to levels commensurate with our increasing assets and staff requirements. The Company terminated its capital raising activities under the private placement offering effective December 31, 2011.
Mortgage Loan Receivables
Mortgage loan receivables have been a very minor source of revenue to us since our inception. No mortgage loan receivables were originated over the last two years and as a general policy, we are not in the business of originating mortgage loans.
In connection with the sale of two properties to unrelated tenants in common during 2008, we received mortgage notes receivable totaling $920,216 with interest rates ranging from 6.25% to 6.50% and due dates of October 1, 2013. The loans call for interest only payments and both were current as of December 31, 2011. Both notes are secured by the mortgagee’s interest in the property.
In February 2011, the Company purchased a mortgage note receivable from an unrelated party where the borrower was two of the related income fund Partnerships and one from an unrelated income fund partnership. The amounts outstanding from the related Partnerships were paid off shortly after the Company acquired the note. As of December 31, 2011, there was a balance due from the unrelated income fund of $111,866. The note bears interest at 6.77%, is secured by a model home property and is due on demand.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate total of mortgage notes receivable outstanding was $1,032,082 and $920,216, respectively, or less than 1% of total assets.
Revenues
Rental and fee income was $14,077,105 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $10,195,067 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $3,882,038, or 38.1%. The increase in rental income as reported in 2011 compared to 2010 is primarily attributable to:
• | The addition of the 6 properties acquired in 2010 and 2011 and the addition of the model home properties which generated an additional $3,622,286 of rent and fee income in the current year; and |
• | An increase in 2011 revenues of $259,756 for properties owned for a full year in both years. |
Overall rental and fee revenues are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2010 and 2011 for an entire year and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Interest income was $125,662 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $101,885 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $23,777, or 23.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to purchasing a note receivable at a discount in the current year.
Rental Operating Expenses
Rental operating expenses were $4,944,010 for 2011 compared to $4,312,021 for 2010, an increase of $631,989, or 14.7%. The increase in operating expense year over year is primarily attributable to the same reasons that rental revenue increased except that increases in model home revenues do not have a significant amount of rental operating costs. As a result, rental operating costs increase was less significant than the increase in rental and fee income.
Rental operating costs are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning recently acquired assets for entire periods and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, including amortization of deferred finance charges, increased by $1,150,493 in 2011 to $3,194,887, from $2,044,394 in 2010, an increase of 56.3%. The increase in interest expense is attributable to the Company’s growth and, in addition, the Company put loans on four properties that were unencumbered in 2010.
The following is a summary of our interest expense on loans by property for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $434,486 to $3,846,177 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $3,411,691 in 2010. As a percentage of rental fee and other income, general and administrative expenses were 27.3% and 33.5% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In comparing our general and administrative expenses with other REITs that typically do not have employees, you should take into consideration that we are a self administered REIT, which means such expenses are greater for us.
The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2011 was primarily due to the addition of new employees and related expenses from the asset purchase of Dubose Model Homes USA in February 2010 included for the full year in 2011 This new subsidiary began to contribute revenues to the Company in October 2010.
In 2011, our salaries and employee related expenses increased $231,324 to $2,336,441 compared to $2,105,117 in 2010. The increase in salary and employee expenses in 2011 was primarily attributable to the additional personnel related to the acquisition discussed in the paragraph above, a small increase in the number of administrative personnel and general increases awarded to existing employees. Further, non-cash compensation related to the vesting of restricted stock grants to employees was approximately $41,000 greater for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. We anticipate an increase in staff and compensation costs as our capital and portfolio continue to increase. However, we anticipate that these costs as a percentage of total revenue will continue to decline in future years.
Insurance expenses increased by approximately $93,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to health insurance rate increases and workers compensation premium increases.
Legal, accounting and public company related expenses and decreased by approximately $124,000, to $394,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $518,000 during the same period in 2010. The primary reason for the decrease was the fact that legal expenses were approximately $124,000 less in 2011 due to the Company reincorporating from California to Maryland and also due to the formation of several new legal entities to launch our efforts in the purchase and leaseback of model homes in 2010.
Directors’ compensation expense that consisted of non-cash amortization of restricted stock grants vesting was approximately $39,000 higher for the year ended December 31, 2011 over 2010.
Our costs related to acquiring properties increased by approximately $100,000 in 2011 over 2010 to approximately $157,000. In 2011, the Company had three significant acquisitions compared to one in the prior year. The significant acquisitions required additional diligence, legal and accounting costs in addition to the normal recurring costs of a smaller property acquisition.
Bargain Purchase Gain from Tender Offer
In 2010, the Company conducted a tender offer for the purchase of three limited partnerships. As a result of revaluing the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities to market value, the Company recorded $872,152 in other income.
Asset Impairment
As part of our annual review of long-lived assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, during the quarter ending December 31, 2011, management identified indicators of impairment related to our model home properties, primarily properties that were held for sale at a realizable value less than net book value and recorded an impairment of approximately $30,000 and potential losses on sales of model homes of $399,000.
In 2010, management recognized indicators of impairment on its Havana Parker Office complex located in Aurora, Colorado. As a result, management analyzed the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset and determined that such amounts did not exceed the carrying amount of the property, confirming that the property was likely impaired. Based on an internally-prepared fair value evaluation of the property, management determined that an impairment charge of $1,000,000 was required.
Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders
Net loss available to common shareholders in 2011 decreased by $406,893 to $2,616,903, or $0.18 loss per share as compared to net loss available to common shareholders of $3,023,796, or $0.26 loss per share in 2010. The year ended 2011 was another year of substantial growth where we acquired four new properties and formed three new entities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As discussed above under Economic Environment, during 2011, there have been indications of economic improvement and stabilization in the equity markets. However, we expect the market turbulence could continue in the commercial real estate arena as mortgage financing originated over the past five to seven years mature.
We believe that as a result of these negative trends, new mortgage financing will be less favorable as pre-recession days, which may negatively impact our ability to finance future acquisitions. Long-term interest rates remain relatively low by historical standards but we anticipate that interest rates will increase in the next couple of years. On the other hand, we believe the negative trends in the mortgage markets for smaller properties and in some geographic locations have reduced property prices and may, in certain cases, reduce competition for those properties.
Overview
We actively seek investments that are likely to produce income in order to pay distributions as well as long-term gains for our stockholders. Our future sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, mortgages on our unencumbered properties and additional equity securities. Our available liquidity at December 31, 2011 was approximately $24.8 million, including $4.8 in cash and cash equivalents and an estimated borrowing capacity of approximately $20 million from potential mortgages on unencumbered properties.
Our future capital needs include the acquisition of additional properties as we as expand our investment portfolio into other real property sectors, pay down outstanding borrowings and the payment of a competitive distribution to our shareholders. To ensure that we are able to effectively execute these objectives, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of liquidity. Our short term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to pay the debt service on existing mortgages, fund our current operating costs and fund our distribution to stockholders. Our long-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to grow and maintain our portfolio of investments.
We believe that our available liquidity is sufficient to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt service costs on our existing mortgages and fund our operating costs in the near term. We further believe that our cash flow from operations along with the potential financing capital available to us in the future is sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity needs. However, we do not expect that our cash flow from operating activities will be totally sufficient to fund our short term liquidity needs, including the payment of cash dividends at current rates to our shareholders, and instead we expect to fund a portion of these needs from additional borrowings of secured or unsecured indebtedness. We expect to obtain additional mortgages and assumption of existing debt collateralized by some or all of our real property in the future. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, we obtained approximately $5.7 million from new mortgages collateralized by two of our unencumbered properties. In December 2011, we obtained approximately $2.5 million from new mortgages collateralized by two properties.
Equity Capital
Equity capital markets continue to improve. We raised $14.2 million, net of offering costs, during 2011 compared to $13.3 million during 2010. We used the proceeds to acquire additional properties and working capital needs. We issued $1.6 million of a 6.3% Convertible Preferred equity in connection with the acquisition of a $14.5 million property in a DownREIT in December 2011.
Currently, we are seeking a line of credit to facilitate future expansion and anticipate raising capital from an initial public offering thereafter.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $4.9 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to approximately $7.0 million at December 31, 2010. We intend to use this cash to make additional acquisitions, pay debt service costs on our existing mortgages and for general corporate purposes.
Our cash and cash equivalents are held in bank accounts at third party institutions and consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts. During 2011 or 2010, we did not experience any loss or lack of access to our cash or cash equivalents.
Debt
As of December 31, 2011, NetREIT had mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $56.7 million, collateralized by a total of 14 non model home properties with terms at issuance ranging from 3 to 30 years. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2011 was approximately 5.73%. Our debt to book value on these properties is approximately 44.3% and we have eight non model home properties with a net book value of $34.8 million that are unencumbered. We do not have any mortgage debt balloon principal payments due during 2012. Despite the disruptions in the debt market discussed in “Overview” above, we believe that, if we so desire, we will be able to refinance these debts as they come due.
As of December 31, 2011, NetREIT Dubose had 49 fixed-rate mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $5.4 million, collateralized by a total of 49 model home properties, an average of $110,200 per home. These loans generally have a term at issuance of five years. The weighted-average interest rate on these mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2011 was 5.38%. Our debt to net book value on these properties is approximately 49.1%. The Company has guaranteed these promissory notes. The balloon principal payments on the notes payable are in 2015 and 2016 and are typically tied to the sale of the model home securing the debt.
As of December 31, 2011, limited partnerships that the Company has a limited partnership interest in had 18 fixed-rate mortgage note payables in the aggregate principal amount of $3.8 million, collateralized by a total of 28 model home properties, an average of $135,700 per home. The debt to book value on these properties is approximately 42.0%. All of these notes payable have mortgage debt balloon principal payments in 2011 or 2012. All of the free cash flow on these limited partnerships is being held or applied to the loan balances with no distribution to the partners until all homes have been sold. All of the properties will be sold at the end of the lease agreements and we believe that all properties will be sold for more than the mortgage debt balloon amount.
Despite the disruptions in the debt market discussed in “Overview” above, we believe that we will be able to refinance maturing debts on or before scheduled maturity dates.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $1.3 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $709,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase during the year of approximately $600,000 was primarily due to an increase in net operating income of our properties of approximately $2 million due to the acquisitions acquired during 2010 and 2011. However the increase in properties’ operating activities was offset by increase in working capital needs of approximately $1.4 million. Approximately $341,000 of the working capital increase was due to proceeds in escrow from sale of real estate at year end that was paid to us early in January 2012. The remaining increase was due to an increase in bank impound required on Yucca Valley Retail acquisition of approximately $122,000 and approximately $900,000 increase in leasing commissions and loan fees paid in 2011.
Although the cash from operating activities did not cover the cash portion of the distribution to our stockholders of approximately $3.6 million, we anticipate that with the inclusion of the recent acquisitions and the anticipated acquisitions that the cash provided by operating activities will cover the cash distribution to shareholders in the near future.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately and $31.7 million during the year ended December 30, 2011. During this period, the Company acquired the Dakota Bank Buildings for $9.6 million, raw land adjacent to our Sparky’s Rialto Self-Storage facility for approximately $0.4 million, the Yucca Valley Retail center for approximately $6.8 million, the Sunrise Self-Storage for $2.2 million and the Port of San Diego Complex for $14.5 million, less the non-cash component of the purchase of approximately $1.6 million. In addition, we spent approximately $1 million on capital expenditures of existing properties. Furthermore, we acquired an interest in a model home partnership for approximately $0.5 and NetREIT Dubose acquired 23 homes for $5.6 million. The Dubose Partnerships sold 22 model homes during the period for proceeds of $8.5 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $22.6 million, consisting of $21.4 to acquire two properties and 26 model homes, invested $0.8 million in a model home limited partnership and paid $300,000 to purchase DMHU.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $27.6 million. The financing activities consisted of approximately $14.2 million net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $29.6 million, proceeds from noncontrolling interests net of distributions to noncontrolling interests of $0.7 million and a decrease in stock issuance costs of $0.2 million. The proceeds were offset by reduction in mortgage notes payable of $13.3 million ($5.7 million in connection with the sale of the 22 model homes and $3.2 million payoff of a mortgage), cash distributions to shareholders of $3.6 million and the repurchase of common stock of $0.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $18.5 million, which consisted of approximately $13.3 million net proceeds from the sale and issuance of our common stock and approximately $9.8 million in proceeds from mortgage notes payable used to finance the acquisition of two properties. These proceeds were offset by payments on mortgage notes payable, the redemption of preferred stock and distributions to stockholders of approximately $1.0, $1.3 and $2.8 million, respectively.
Contractual Obligations
The following table provides information with respect to the maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our secured debt and interest payments on our fixed and variable rate debt at December 31, 2011 and provides information about the minimum commitments due in connection with our ground lease obligation.

Other Liquidity Needs
We are not contractually bound to make regular quarterly dividend distributions to our common stock holder, however we are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we intend to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to our common shareholders from cash flow from operating activities. We are not contractually bound to make regular quarterly dividend distributions to our common stock holders. We may be required to use borrowings or other sources of capital, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status. In the past, as noted above, we have distributed cash amounts in excess of our taxable income resulting in a return of capital to our shareholders, and we currently have the ability to refrain from increasing our distributions while still meeting our REIT requirement for 2012. If our net cash provided by operating activities and gains on sale of real estate (assuming we are successful in selling any of our properties) do not exceed our intended distributions to our common shareholders, we would have to borrow funds to pay the distribution or reduce or eliminate the distribution. We consider market factors and our historical and anticipated performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining our distribution levels.
Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including contingent obligations.
Capital Expenditures, Tenant Improvements and Leasing Costs
We currently project that during 2012 we could spend $500,000 to $1,000,000 in capital improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs for properties within our portfolio. Capital expenditures may fluctuate in any given period subject to the nature, extent, and timing of improvements required to the properties. We may spend more on gross capital expenditures during 2012 compared to 2011 due to rising construction costs and the anticipated increase in property acquisitions in 2012. Tenant improvements and leasing costs may also fluctuate in any given year depending upon factors such as the property, the term of the lease, the type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We compute FFO using the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) reduced by gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property and extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to shareholders and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
The following table presents our FFO for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is FFO indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In addition, FFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as capital expenditures and payments of debt, each of which may impact the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders.

FFO for 2011 increased by $1,955,672, or 463.18%, to $2,377,895 as compared to $422,223 in 2010.
For the year December 31, 2010, FFO was materially affected by the increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.6 million, a 38% increase. FFO has also been affected by lower yields on our investment of excess cash balances. We anticipate FFO to improve as we continue to acquire properties and earn rental revenues on properties recently acquired without substantial increases in general and administrative expenses.
Inflation
Since the majority of our leases require tenants to pay most operating expenses, including real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and increases in common area maintenance expenses, we do not believe our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation would be material.
Segments Disclosure
Our reportable segments consist of mortgage activities and the four types of commercial real estate properties for which our decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Residential Properties, Office Properties, Retail Properties and Self-Storage Properties. We also have certain corporate level activities including accounting, finance, legal administration and management information systems which are not considered separate operating segments.
Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of our 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. There is no intersegment activity.
See the accompanying financial statements for a Schedule of the Segment Reconciliation to Net Income Available to Common Shareholders.
Not required.
The financial statements required by this item are filed with this report as described under Item 15.
None.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-14(c). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting as such report is not required for non-accelerated filers such as the Company pursuant to certain federal legislation enacted in July 2010.

To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of NetREIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NetREIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NetREIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NetREIT, Inc. and Subsidiaries
1. ORGANIZATION
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, retail, self-storage and residential properties located in the western United States. As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned or had an equity interest in nine office buildings and one industrial building (“Office Properties”) which total approximately 690,000 rentable square feet, four retail shopping centers and a 7-Eleven property (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 171,000 rentable square feet, six self-storage facilities (“Self-Storage Properties”) which total approximately 581,000 rentable square feet, one 39 unit apartment building and 78 model homes investments owned by six limited partnerships (“Residential Properties”).
The Company is a 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 eight 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”.
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. DMHU had used these assets 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 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 agreed to issue up to 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, depending on the levels of production the Company achieves from its newly formed Model Home REIT over the next three years. The Company also agreed to employ three former DMHU employees and to pay certain obligations of DMHU, including its office lease which expired on September 30, 2010. As Mr. Dubose is a Company director and was the founder and 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 has been accounted for as a business combination. Management performed an analysis of intangible assets acquired with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist and it was determined that $209,000 of the purchase price is attributable to customer relationships which will be amortized over 10 years. The Company also estimated a liability of $1,032,000 associated with the 120,000 shares that it believes will be issued in the future. As a result of this acquisition, total goodwill of $1,123,000 was recorded. The Company’s investment in DAP II and DAP III have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements of NetREIT effective March 1, 2010.
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 newly formed 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.
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 has also commenced raising outside investor capital through a Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”). NetREIT Dubose intends to sell 1 million shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, or $10 million under the initial offering. The Company also has the option to increase the maximum offering amount to 2 million shares or $20 million. Through December 31, 2011, NetREIT Dubose has raised approximately $1.1 million.
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. As of December 31, 2011, there were approximately 251,000 shares outstanding of which approximately 111,000 have been issued to parties other than NetREIT, Inc.
NetREIT Advisors, LLC also provides management services to the 19 Model Home Partnerships, pursuant to rights under the management contracts assigned to it by DMHU. These partnerships are 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. The Company acquired approximately 74% of Income Fund #3 for $475,997 in cash and 39,827 shares for a total combined cost of $874,263. The Company acquired approximately 71% of Income Fund #4 for $343,074 in cash and 49,132 shares for a total combined cost of $834,394. The Company acquired approximately 67% of Income Fund #5 for $77,822 in cash and 23,931 shares for a total combined cost of $317,136. 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, including one month of operations and twelve months of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
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 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 has initially invested $250,000 to capitalize the 201 Partnership and has commenced raising $1,750,000 in outside investor capital through the sale of 35 limited partner units at $50,000 per unit. As of December 31, 2011, the 201 Partnership has raised approximately $868,000.
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 will consolidate it into its consolidated financial statements.
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 and III (collectively “the Partnerships”) NetREIT Advisors, LLC (“Advisors”), NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. and its subsidiary, NetREIT Dubose Model Home LP, Dubose Dubose Advisors LLC, Model Home Income Funds 3, 4, 5, 113 LTD and Dubose Model Home Investors #201 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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Prior to formation of the Partnerships, the properties owned by those partnerships were held as tenants in common (“TIC”) with the other investors and accounted for using the equity method due to substantive participation rights of the TIC (Note 4). Upon formation of the Partnerships in 2009 and 2010, NetREIT became the sole general partner in each of these partnerships and the rights of the other partners were limited to certain protective rights. As a result of the change in the Company’s ability to influence and control the Partnerships, they are now accounted for as subsidiaries of the Company and are fully consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in FMP, the Partnerships, and the Income Funds as part of consolidated net loss in 2011 and 2010 and includes the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of shareholders’ 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 Real Estate Investment Trust (“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 shareholders 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 shareholders within the prescribed limits. However, taxes will be provided for those gains which are not anticipated to be distributed to shareholders 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 shareholders 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, 2011 and 2010, because of net losses, all distributions were considered return of capital to the shareholders 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, 2011 and 2010.
Stock Dividend. In September 2011, the Board of Directors declared a 5% dividend payable in Company common to shareholders of record on December 2, 2011. The shares were issued in December 2011. All loss per share calculations are based on adjusted shares for the stock dividend as if the shares were issued at the beginning of the first period presented.
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 market rents was $295,248 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Amortization of above and below market rents for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $65,272. Amortization of above and below market rents are included in rental income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
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 $451,306 and $343,205 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Land Purchase Option. The land lease acquired as a part of the World Plaza acquisition in 2007 has a fixed purchase price option cost of $181,710 at the termination of the lease in 2062. Management valued the land option at its residual value of $1,370,000, based upon comparable land sales adjusted to present value. The difference between the strike price of the option and the recorded cost of the land purchase option is approximately $1.2 million. Management has determined that exercise of the option is considered probable. The land purchase option was determined to be a contract based intangible asset associated with the land. As a result, this asset has an indefinite life and is treated as a non-amortizable asset. The amount is included as real estate assets and lease intangibles, net on the accompanying balance sheets.
Acquisition of Dubose Model Home Income Funds #3 LTD, Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4 LTD and Dubose Model Income Fund #5 LTD and Dubose Model Home Investors Fund #113 (“MH Income Funds”). In November 2010, the Company acquired a significant ownership interest in the MH Income Funds #3, #4 and #5 for a combination of cash and Company stock. The Company recognized bargain purchase gain of $872,152 based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In November 2011, the Company acquired MH Investors Fund #113 through a tender offer whereby the former investors had the option to sell their investment in MH Investors Fund #113 to the 201 Partnership for cash or exchange their interests in MH Investors Fund #113 for an interest in the 201 Partnership. Approximately 55% of the investors exchanged their interest in MH Income Fund #113 for an ownership interest in the 201 Partnership. Two investors, representing about 10% sold out for cash and one partner representing 35% of the MH Investors Fund #113 elected to remain as an investor in MH Investors Fund #113.
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, 2011, management has concluded that there are 17 model home properties aggregating approximately $5.0 million which are considered as held for sale and are included in real estate assets. These homes have mortgage notes payable of approximately $1.6 million. Management has also estimated that, of the homes held for sale, 16 of the home sales would result in a loss of approximately $399,000 and has recorded the estimated loss included in asset impairment in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
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, 2011 and 2010, was $3,571,924 and $3,014,603, 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, 2011 and 2010.
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, 2011 and 2010.
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. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company determined that an impairment existed in its model home properties not currently held for sale and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $30,000. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company determined that an impairment existed with respect to its Havana Parker Complex property and, as a result, recorded an asset impairment of $1 million.
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, 2011 and 2010.
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, 2011, the Company had approximately $2.9 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.
Deferred Common Stock Issuance Costs. Common stock issuance costs including distribution fees, due diligence fees, syndication and wholesaling costs, legal and accounting fees, and printing are capitalized before sale of the related stock and then netted against gross proceeds when the stock is sold. Deferred stock issuance costs relating to a subsidiary of the Company are included in other assets in the accompany consolidated balance sheets.
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, 2011 and 2010, the balance of allowance for possible uncollectible tenant receivables included in other assets, net was $124,000 and $277,000, respectively.
Deferred Leasing Costs. 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $843,000 and $406,000, respectively, which are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Total amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $126,000 and $181,000, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred, including legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees, in connection with debt financing 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, 2011 and 2010, deferred financing costs were approximately $554,000 and $196,000, respectively, which are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Total amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $137,000 and $44,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Other Real Estate Owned. The Company acquired a property consisting of undeveloped land in Escondido, CA through foreclosure proceedings in May 2009. At the time we acquired title to the property we entered into an exclusive option with the borrower to sell the property back at our investment plus additional expenditures and interest charges through the date the original borrower purchased back the property. The option expired in late 2010. The Company has not actively engaged in the attempted sale of the property while management studies the best use options for the property.
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, 2011 and 2010, deferred rent receivable totaled approximately $756,900 and $361,500, 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, the Company records an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts or records a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable. No such reserves have been recorded as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
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 shareholders (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:
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Weighted average shares used for Basic EPS | | | 14,190,786 | | | | 11,771,524 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Effect of dilutive securities: | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Adjusted weighted average shares used for diluted EPS | | | 14,190,786 | | | | 11,771,524 | |
___________
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 National City Partners, LP and warrants with respect to a total of 1,373,372 and 1,042,532 shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, 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, 2011 and 2010.
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 five 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates. In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S GAAP and IFRS. This update defines fair value, clarifies a framework to measure fair value, and requires specific disclosures of fair value measurements. The guidance will be effective for the Company's interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2012, and applied prospectively. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This new guidance allows entities to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value in order to determine if quantitative testing is required. This qualitative assessment is optional and is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of annual goodwill impairment tests. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is allowed provided the entity has not yet performed its 2011 impairment test or issued its financial statements. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2011-08 and the ASU did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
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.

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In September 2005, the Company commenced a private placement offering of Units and Convertible Series AA Preferred Stock. The Units consisted of 2 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase 1 share of common stock at $12 ($9.87 per share adjusted for stock dividends). In October 2006, the Company closed that offering and commenced a private placement offering of only its common stock. Through December 31, 2011, when the offering was closed, the Company was conducting a self-underwriting private placement offering and sale of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10 per share. This offering was being made only to accredited investors and up to thirty-five non-accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No public or private market currently exists for the securities sold under this offering. There currently is no plan to initiate a market for the stock. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company received gross proceeds from the sale of common shares of $17,214,142 and $16,376,206, respectively.
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 Shareholders 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, 2011 and 2010, there were 15,287,998 and 13,051,372 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.
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 December 31, 2011, 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 191,756 shares of common stock would be issuable upon conversion of all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock.
The Company may also elect to mandatorily redeem some or all of the preferred stock at any time upon proper notice at the liquidation preference amount plus any unpaid accrued dividends.
Shareholder Warrants. Warrants were issued in connection with private placements of common stock Units during 2005 and 2006 pursuant to the terms of the respective subscription agreements. Each warrant entitled the registered holder to purchase one share of Series A common stock at the exercise price of $12 per share ($9.38 per share adjusted for stock dividends) during the period commencing upon issuance and continuing through the close of business on March 31, 2010. Unexercised warrants at the expiration date automatically converted into a one-tenth share of common stock, or 52,778 shares of NetREIT Series A common stock.
Broker Dealer Warrants. Warrants will be 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 shareholders. 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 shareholders 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. Adjusted for stock dividends, the partner has the rights to exchange interests in the partnership for up to 56,866 shares of Company common stock.

In October 2009, NetREIT and five 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 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 191,775 shares of NetREIT Series A common stock.
Employee Retirement and Share-Based Incentive Plans
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 has granted nonvested shares of restricted common stock annually commencing on January 1, 2007. 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 2011 totalled approximately $448,400.The value of granted nonvested restricted stock issued during 2010 totalled $461,100. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 49,805 shares vested and $387,642 was recorded as compensation expense. During the year ended December 31, 2010, 23,607 shares vested and $322,067 was recorded as compensation expense. The remaining 63,777 nonvested restricted shares will vest in equal instalments over the next two to four years.
A table of non-vested restricted shares granted and vested since December 31, 2009 is as follows:

Cash Dividends. During 2011 and 2010, the Company paid cash dividends net of reinvested stock dividends of $3,582,252 and $2,836,516, respectively. As the Company incurred net losses in both 2011 and 2010, these cash dividends represent a return of capital to the stockholders rather than a distribution of earnings. Cash dividends declared per common share for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.57 and $0.57, respectively. The Company paid cash dividends on the Series AA Preferred Stock of $34,447 through May 2010 when the Series AA shares were redeemed.

Litigation. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s properties are presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is there any material threatened litigation.
Environmental Matters. The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Further, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that the Company believes would require additional disclosure or recording of a loss contingency.
9. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of tenants comprising the Company’s rental revenue. No single tenant accounted for 10% or more of total rental income for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
10. 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, Self-Storage Properties and Mortgage Loans. 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, 2011 and 2010.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2012, the limited partner of NetREIT 01, LP (the “Partnership”) that owns the Seven 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 agreed to buy 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 is $8.44 per share. After conversion, our interest in the Partnership increased to approximate 77% interest in the Partnership.
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.
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.
