Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of consolidation. The accompanying condensed financial statements are
consolidated and include the accounts of NetREIT and its subsidiary, NetREIT 01 LP. As used
herein, the Company refers to NetREIT and NetREIT 01 LP, collectively. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Organization. NetREIT (the Company) was formed and incorporated in the State of California
on January 28, 1999 for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in
income-producing real estate properties. The Company, which qualifies and operates as a
self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, (the Code) commenced operations upon the completion of its private
placement offering 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, residential and self storage
properties located in western United States. The Company also invests in mortgage loans.
As of June 30, 2008, the Companys portfolio of operating properties was comprised of
two office buildings (Office Properties) which encompassed approximately 229,000 rentable
square feet, two retail shopping centers and a 7-Eleven property (Retail Properties) which
encompassed approximately 64,000 rentable square feet, one 39 unit apartment building
(Residential Properties), and two self storage facilities (Self Storage Properties) which
encompassed approximately 210,000 rentable square feet.
On May 1, 2008, NetREIT and the Allen Trust formed NetREIT 01 LP, a California limited
partnership with NetREIT as a general partner, to manage the operation of the Escondido
7-Eleven property. NetREIT contributed its 51.4% interest in the property to the partnership
for its general partner interest. The Allen Trust contributed its 48.6% interest for its
limited partner interest. The Allen Trust limited partnership interest, at its discretion,
is convertible into $719,533 of NetREIT common series A stock at $9.30 per share at anytime
after September 30, 2008. The portion of the results of operations of NetREIT 01 LP for the
period from May 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 attributable to the minority owner were not
significant and is included in rental operating costs in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Companys management in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain information and
footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded
pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and
recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods presented. However, the results of operation for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2008. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys registration
statement on Form 10 for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on May 6, 2008.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the
audited financial statements included in the Form 10.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property Acquisitions. The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in
accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations(SFAS 141) which requires the purchase price of acquired properties be
allocated between the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building,
tenant improvements, 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.
Amounts allocated to land, buildings and improvements are derived from recent tax
assessments after deduction of any intangibles determined by management for the value of
in-place leases, above-market and below-market leases, the value of unamortized lease
origination costs and the value of tenant relationships.
5
Table of Contents
The amount allocated to acquire in-place leases is determined based on managements
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 acquired
in-place leases is included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition related intangible
assets in the balance sheets and amortized over the remaining non-cancelable term of the
respective leases. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company did not have any
amount allocated to acquired in-place leases.
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) managements 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 other assets in the accompanying consolidated 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. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company did not have any deferred rent for above or below market leases.
The total amount of remaining intangible assets acquired, which consists of unamortized lease
origination costs, in-place leases and customer relationship intangible values, are allocated
based on managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease and
the Companys 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 tenants credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those
existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
The land lease acquired has a fixed option cost of $181,710 at termination of the lease in
2062. Management valued the land option at $1,370,000 based on comparable land sales
adjusted for the present value of the payments. The land option value is included in the
accompanying 2008 and 2007 consolidated balance sheets as real estate assets, at cost.
The value of unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expense over the remaining
term of the respective leases, which range from four to seven years. The value of customer
relationship intangibles, which is the benefit to the Company resulting from the likelihood
of an existing tenant renewing its lease, are amortized over the remaining term and any
renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for
intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant
terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the lease origination costs and customer
relationship intangibles is charged to expense. Total amortization expense related to these
assets was $10,493 and $10,493 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and $20,986 and $10,493 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
at June 30, 2008, are acquired origination costs of $170,003 less accumulated amortization of
$52,465.
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 of from 39 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,
including discontinued operations, for buildings and improvements was $279,715 and
$162,040 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $564,043
and $252,852 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses. The 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 its lending activities.
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
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
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 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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had
net deferred leasing costs of approximately $207,360 and $209,000, respectively, which
are included in other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
6
Table of Contents
Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred, including legal fees, origination fees, and
administrative fees, in connection with debt financing are capitalized as deferred
financing costs. Deferred financing costs consist primarily of loan fees which are
amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest
method, over the contractual term of the respective loans. At June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, deferred financing costs were approximately $105,051 and $125,000,
respectively, which are included in other assets, net in the accompanying balance sheets.
Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements, and
other revenue once all of the following criteria are met in accordance with SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition:
| 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. |
In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases (SFAS 13), as amended and
interpreted, minimum annual rental revenue is recognized in rental revenues on a
straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Certain of the Companys leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals,
and generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to record 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 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. 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 tenants 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. The Company has established reserves of $20,072 at June
30, 2008 and had no reserves at December 31, 2007.
Discontinued Operations and Properties. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (SFAS 144), the income or loss and net gain or
loss on dispositions of operating properties and the income or loss on all properties
classified as held for sale are reflected in the statements of operations as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. A property is classified as held for sale when certain
criteria, set forth under SFAS 144, are met. At such time, the Company presents the
respective assets and liabilities separately on the consolidated balance sheets and ceases to
record depreciation and amortization expense. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company did not have any properties classified as held for sale.
The following is a summary of discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007:

Impairment. The Company accounts for the impairment of real estate in accordance with SFAS
144 which requires that the Company review 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 would be
written down to its estimated fair value based on the Companys best estimate of the
propertys discounted future cash flows. There have been no impairments recognized on the
Companys real estate assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
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 stockholders and satisfy certain other organizational
and operating requirements. As a REIT, no provision will be made for federal income taxes
on income resulting from those sales of real estate investments which have or will be
distributed to stockholders within the prescribed limits. However, taxes will be provided
for those gains which are not anticipated to be distributed to stockholders unless such
gains are deferred pursuant to Section 1031. In addition, the Company will be subject to a
federal excise tax which equals 4% of the excess, if any, of 85% of the Companys ordinary
income plus 95% of the Companys capital gain net income over cash distributions, as
defined.
Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ
from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in estimated
useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) on the
investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things.
The Company believes that it has met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Stock Options. In December 2004, the FASB approved the revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and issued the revised SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). In April 2005, the effective date of adoption was
changed from interim periods ending after June 15, 2005 to annual periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R) effectively replaces SFAS 123, and supersedes Accounting
Principle Board Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123(R) was effective for awards that are granted,
modified, or settled in cash for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company
adopted SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective approach. Under the
modified prospective approach, stock-based compensation expense is recorded for the unvested
portion of previously issued awards that remained outstanding at January 1, 2006 using the
same estimate of the grant date fair value and the same attribution method used to determine
the pro forma disclosure under SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) also requires that all share-based
payments to employees after January 1, 2006, including employee stock options, be recognized
in the financial statements as stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value on
the date of grant.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share (Basic EPS)
is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (the numerator)
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the
period. Diluted earnings 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 and dividends on convertible preferred stock. The
computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would
have an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings (loss) per share.

Table of Contents
The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic earnings per common share
computation to the denominator of the diluted earnings per common share computations, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:
Six months | ||||

5,153 | |||
Incremental shares from convertible preferred and warrants |
101,173 | |||

4,489,324 | |||
As a result of net losses available to common stockholders for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 the number of shares used in
Basic EPS and Diluted EPS are the same.
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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ
from those estimates.
Segments. SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information (SFAS 131), establishes standards for the way that public entities report
information about operating segments in their financial statements. 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 8 Segments.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards. In November 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-06, Accounting for Sale of Real Estate Subject to the
Requirements of SFAS 66 When the Agreement Includes a Buy-Sell Clause (EITF 07-06). A
buy-sell clause is a contractual term that gives both investors of a jointly-owned entity
the ability to offer to buy the other investors interest. EITF 07-06 applies to sales of
real estate to an entity if the entity is both partially owned by the seller of the real
estate and subject to an arrangement between the seller and the other investor containing a
buy-sell clause. The EITF concluded the existence of a buy-sell clause does not represent a
prohibited form of continuing involvement that would preclude partial sale and profit
recognition pursuant to SFAS 66. The EITF cautioned the buy-sell clause could represent
such a prohibition if the terms of the buy-sell clause and other facts and circumstances of
the arrangement suggest:
| the buyer cannot act independently of the seller or |
| the seller is economically compelled or contractually required to
reacquire the other investors interest in the jointly owned entity. |
EITF 07-06 is effective for new arrangements in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of EITF 07-6 did not have
a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS 141R), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141).
SFAS 141R expands the definition of a business combination and requires the fair value of
the purchase price of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be
determined on the acquisition date. SFAS 141R also requires that all assets, liabilities,
contingent considerations, and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair
value at the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS 141R requires that acquisition costs
generally be expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods
subsequent to the acquisition date and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset
valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period
impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that SFAS 141R will have on its future financial statements.

Table of Contents
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).
SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP.
The key changes to current practice are (1) the definition of fair value, which focuses on
an exit price rather than an entry price; (2) the methods used to measure fair value, such
as emphasis that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement, as well as the inclusion of an adjustment for risk, restrictions, and credit
standing and (3) the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements, SFAS 157 does not
require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157
has not had a significant impact on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to
apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 has not had a significant impact on the Companys financial
position as a result of operations. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option
to any specific assets or liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidating
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties
other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and
to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation
of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. In
addition, SFAS 160 provides reporting requirements that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS
160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not believe
the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a significant impact on the Companys financial position
or results of operations.

6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain services and facilities are provided to the Company by C.I. Holding Group, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (CI), a small shareholder in the Company and is approximately 35% owned by
the Companys executive management. A portion of the Companys general and administrative
costs are paid by CI and then reimbursed by the Company.
The Company has entered into a property management agreement with CHG Properties, Inc.
(CHG), a wholly owned subsidiary of CI, to manage all of its properties at rates up to 5%
of gross income. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid CHG
total management fees of $54,326 and $25,469, respectively, and $110,676 and $39,040 during
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
During the term of the property management agreement, the Company has an option to acquire
the business conducted by CHG. The option is exercisable, without any consent of the
property manager, its board or its shareholders, with the approval of a majority of the
Companys directors not otherwise interested in the transaction. The option price is shares
of the Company to be determined by a predefined formula based on the net income of CHG
during the 6-month period immediately preceding the month in which the acquisition notice is
delivered. The Company has no intention to exercise the option to acquire CHG.
Prior to the sale of the Rancho Santa Fe Professional Building in October 2007, the Company
leased office space in this property to CI under a lease that provided for future monthly
lease payments of $8,787 per month. The Company received cash for rental income from CI
totaling $27,149 and $8,787 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and received $54,291 and $36,436 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, CI owed the Company $52,273 and
$118,447, respectively, relating to the above lease.

Each of these options was awarded pursuant to the Companys 1999 Flexible Incentive Plan
(the Plan). The following table summarizes the stock option activity. The exercise price
and number of shares under option have been adjusted to give effect to stock dividends
declared by the Company.

At June 30, 2008, the options outstanding and exercisable had exercise prices ranging from
$7.20 to $8.64, with a weighted average price of $8.10, and expiration dates ranging from
June 2009 to June 2010 with a weighted average remaining term of 1.63 years.
The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. The aggregate intrinsic value of
options outstanding, all of which are exercisable, was $51,531 at June 30, 2008.
Share-Based Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a
restricted stock award program under the Plan in December 2006 for the purpose of attracting
and retaining officers, key employees and non-employee board members. The Board has granted
nonvested shares of restricted common stock on January 1, 2007 and 2008. The nonvested
shares have voting rights and are eligible for dividends paid to common shares. The share
awards vest in equal annual installments over the 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 a 5% stock dividend since
granted. The value of granted nonvested restricted stock issued during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled $278,710 and $126,070, respectively. During the six months
ended June 30, 2008 none of the shares vested. During the three months ended June 30, 2008
and the six months ended June 30, 2008 dividends of $5,597 and $11,223 were declared on the
nonvested shares, respectively. The nonvested restricted shares will vest in equal
installments over the next two to five years.
Cash Dividends. Cash dividends declared per common share for the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.295 and $0.30, respectively. The dividend paid to stockholders
of the Series AA Preferred for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 was $21,963, and for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 was $43,926 or an annualized portion of the 7% of the
liquidation preference of $25 per share.
Sale of Common Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 the net proceeds for the
sale of 1,230,110 shares of common stock was $10,354,616.

8. SEGMENTS
The Companys five reportable segments consists of mortgage loan activities and the four
types of commercial real estate properties for which the Companys decision-makers
internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Residential Properties,
Office Properties, Retail Properties and Self Storage Properties and Real Estate 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 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 Companys summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1).
There is no intersegment activity.
The following tables reconcile the Companys segment activity to its combined results of
operations and financial position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
and as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Real Estate Acquisition. On July 9, 2008, the Company closed its purchase and acquired the
Executive Office Plaza property in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The property, which consists
of a total of 65,084 sq. ft. of office space, was purchased for $10,150,000, of which
$6,597,000 was paid from proceeds of a fixed rate revolving line of credit loan. This
credit facility is secured by the Executive Office Park and Regatta Square properties, bears
a fixed interest rate of 6.25% per annum, and is due June 2011. Included in deposits on
potential acquisitions in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30,
2008, are deposits of $182,150 for the acquisition.
On
August 12, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the
Waterman Plaza property in San Bernardino, California. The property
consists of a newly constructed retail/office building of
approximately 21,800 rentable square feet and approvals for an
additional 2,300 square foot building. The purchase price was
$7,350,000 of which the Company borrowed $3,850,000 under a seven
year bank loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.5%.
Sale of Common Stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2008 and through August 7, 2008, the Company
has sold 213,866 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share.

These include the timing and strength of national and regional economic growth, the strength of
commercial and residential markets, competitive market conditions, and fluctuations in availability
and cost of construction materials and labor resulting from the effects of worldwide demand, future
interest rate levels and capital market conditions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on this information, which speaks only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except to the extent we are required to do so in connection with our ongoing

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
NetREIT (which we sometimes refer to as we, us or the Company) operates as a
self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in San Diego County,
California. We have been in a growth stage having increased capital by approximately 90% to $39.5
million at June 30, 2008 from $20.8 million at June 30, 2007. Our investment portfolio increased
by approximately 87% to $47 million at June 30, 2008 from $25.1 million at June 30, 2007. During
the six months ended June 30, 2008 rental income increased by approximately 127% from $1.1 million
to $2.5 million due to the increase in the number of properties owned during those periods. At
June 30, 2008, we owned 2 office building properties, 2 retail strip centers, 1 single user retail
store, 1 residential apartment building, 2 self storage properties and three mortgage loans. While
at June 30, 2007, on a continuing operations basis, we owned two office building properties, one
single user retail store and one residential apartment building.
Our properties are located primarily in Southern California and Colorado. These areas have above
average population growth. The clustering of our assets enables us to reduce our operating costs
through economies of scale by servicing a number of properties with less staff. We do not develop
properties but acquire properties that are stabilized or anticipate they will be in the first year
of operations. A property is considered to be stabilized once it has achieved an 80% occupancy rate
for a full year as of January 1, or has been open for three years. We are actively communicating
with real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties for potential acquisitions in
an effort to build our portfolio.
Most of our office and retail properties we currently own 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 (Triple Net Leases) or pay increases in operating expenses over specific base years. Most
of our leases are for terms of 3 to 5 years with annual rental increases built into the leases.
Our residential and self storage properties that we currently own are rented pursuant to rental
agreements that are for no longer than 6 months. Our self storage properties are located in
markets that have multiple self storage properties from which to choose. Competition will impact
our property results. Our operating results of these properties depend materially on our ability
to lease available self storage units, to actively manage unit rental rates, and on the ability of
our tenants to make required rental payments. We believe that we will be able to respond quickly
and effectively to changes in local and regional economic conditions by adjusting rental rates by
concentration of these properties in one region of Southern California and under the regional
management of one regional property manager. We depend on advertisements, flyers, web sites, etc.
to secure new tenants to fill any vacancies.

Current Developments and Trends
Credit and real estate financing markets have experienced significant deterioration beginning
in the second half of 2007. We expect this trend may continue throughout 2008 and market
turbulence could increase in the commercial real estate arena.
As a result of this deterioration, we believe mortgage financing will continue to be more
difficult to obtain, which may affect our ability to finance future acquisitions. We have obtained
financing on satisfactory terms for the potential acquisitions we have under contract. However, we
have experienced challenges in obtaining financing in the amounts related to purchase price or the
rates that were available 2 or 3 years ago. We believe this may reduce the competition for
properties that we bid on reducing the price of those properties.
Although long-term interest rates remain relatively low by historical standards, there has
been a significant increase in the credit spreads across the credit spectrum. Increases in credit
spreads or deterioration in individual tenant credit may lower the appraised values of properties.
We generally enter into three to five year leases with our tenants to mitigate the impact of
fluctuations in interest rates on the values of our portfolio.
Despite slow economic growth rates in recent periods, inflation rates in the United States
have continued to rise. Increases in inflation are sometimes associated with rising long-term
interest rates, which may have a negative impact on the value of the portfolio we own. To mitigate
this risk, our leases generally have fixed rent increases or 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 amount of our properties and seeking to increase the value of our
real estate. Management focuses on improving underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts,
including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively replacing assets in order to increase the
overall value in our real estate portfolio. Managements ability to increase assets depends on our
ability to raise capital and our ability to identify appropriate investments.
Managements evaluation of operating results includes evaluating our ability to generate
necessary cash flow in order to fund distributions to our shareholders. Managements assessment of
operating results therefore gives less emphasis to the effects of unrealized gains and losses,
which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows,
and to other non-cash charges such as depreciation and impairment charges. Managements evaluation
of cash flow includes and assessment of the long-term sustainability of our real estate portfolio.
In the past the funding of distributions exceeded operating results, however, we believe that with
the anticipated increase in the investment assets the cash flow from operations will fund the
distribution to our shareholders because there will not be a corresponding increase in general and
administrative expenses compared to the increased net operating income from the new properties.
Management focuses on measures of cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from
financing activities in its evaluation of our capital resources. Investing activities typically
consist of the acquisition or disposition of investments in real property or mortgage receivables
and the funding of capital expenditures with respect to real properties. Financing activities
primarily consist of the proceeds from sale of stock, borrowings and repayments of mortgage debt
and the payment of distributions to our stockholders.
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. 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 condensed consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10Q.
Principles of consolidation. The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include
the accounts of NetREIT and its subsidiary, NetREIT 01 LP. As used herein, the Company refers to
NetREIT and NetREIT 01 LP, collectively. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents
Property Acquisitions. The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with
Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations which requires the
purchase price of acquired properties be allocated between the acquired tangible assets and
liabilities, consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, 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, the value of unamortized lease origination costs and the value of
tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements, and other
revenue once all of the following criteria are met in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
Topic 13, Revenue Recognition:
| 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. |
In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases (SFAS 13), as amended and interpreted,
minimum annual rental revenue is recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the
term of the related lease.
Certain of the Companys leases currently contain rental increases at specified intervals, and
generally accepted accounting principles require the Company to record 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 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. 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 tenants 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. The Company has established
reserves of $20,072 at June 30, 2008 and had no reserves at December 31, 2007.
THE FOLLOWING IS A COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our results of operations for the three or six months ended June 30, 2008 are not indicative of
those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, interest income from real estate
loans receivable, interest expense, rental operating expense, general and administrative expense
and depreciation and amortization will significantly increase in future periods as a result of
operations from assets acquired during 2007 and 2008 for an entire period and as a result of
anticipated future acquisitions of real estate investments.
RECENT EVENTS HAVING SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISONS
Assets Purchased
We purchased the Havana/Parker Complex, a 115,000 square foot office building complex consisting of
three buildings on three separate parcels, in Colorado Springs, Colorado on March 21, 2007. Hence
only three months of the results of operation for this property is included in the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to a full period in 2008.
Subsequent to March 31, 2007, we purchased Regatta Square, a 6,000 square foot strip center in
Denver, Colorado (October 31, 2007); the World Plaza Center, a 55,000 square foot strip center in
San Bernardino, California (September 21, 2007); Palm Self-Storage, a 61,000 square foot self
storage facility in Highland, California (November 19, 2007); and Joshuas Self-Storage, a 150,000
square foot self storage facility in Hesperia, California (December 10, 2007). Hence the results
of operations for these properties are included in the three months and six months ended June 30,
2008 but not in the 2007 comparable periods.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company portfolio of operating properties was comprised of two office
buildings (Office Properties) which encompassed approximately 229,000 rentable square feet, three
retail centers or stores (Retail Properties) which encompassed approximately 64,000 rentable
square feet, one 39 unit residential apartment (Residential Properties) and two self storage
facilities (Self Storage Properties) which encompassed approximately 210,000 rentable square
feet. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, no properties were acquired.

Table of Contents
On May 1, 2008, NetREIT and its co-owner, a non-related person, formed NetREIT 01 LP, a California
limited partnership with NetREIT as a general partner, to manage the operation of the Escondido
7-Eleven property. NetREIT contributed its 51.4% interest in the property to the partnership for
its general partner interest, and the co-owner contributed its 48.6% interest for the limited
partner interest. The limited partner, in its discretion, may convert its limited partner interest
into $719,533 of NetREIT common stock at $9.30 per share at anytime after September 30, 2008.
After December 31, 2012, NetREIT may, but is not obligated to, exchange its common stock for the
limited partner interest on the same terms. The portion of the results of operations of NetREIT 01
LP for the period from May 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 attributable to the minority owner were not
significant and is included in rental operating costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
Sale of real estate
There were no dispositions of real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2008. On March 17,
2008, the Company sold a 54.92% interest in the apartment building located in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The two purchasers paid $1,028,083, net of transaction costs, in cash. The interest in the property
was transferred pursuant to a Code Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transaction, whereby, the
Company causes the sale proceeds to be held by an independent facilitator to purchase other
properties. For financial reporting purposes, during the six months ended June 30, 2008 the gain
on sale of $605,539 is shown on the consolidated statement of operations. We anticipate selling
interests in other properties to buyers who need a Code Section 1031 tax deferred exchange during
in the future.
Financing
In October 2006, we commenced a new private placement offering of $200 million of our common stock
at $10.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering, after commissions, due diligence fees, and
syndication expenses, were approximately $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
In addition, we received approximately $1.0 million from proceeds of sale of real estate. The net
proceeds were primarily used as follows: $4.4 million to pay off the mortgage on the Hesperia
property; $0.3 million to improve properties and $0.62 million to pay dividends.

Revenue
Rental revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,270,338
versus $716,481 for same period in 2007, an increase of $553,857, or 77%. The increase in rental
revenue in 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to:
| The four properties acquired by NetREIT in 2007, which generated $586,716 of rent
revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2008. |
| Same property rents generated on three properties during the three months of 2008
and 2007 decreased by $33,479 or 4.9% primarily due to a decrease in occupancy in our
office building in Aurora, Colorado. The decrease resulted basically from one large
tenant that ceased business. |
Rental revenue is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical
periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during late 2007 for an entire year and future
acquisitions of real estate assets. Four of the properties acquired in 2007 were purchased in the
third and fourth quarters of 2007. On annualized basis the rental revenue of these four properties
will increase revenues by approximately $1,100,000 during the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
On July 9, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the Executive Office Plaza, consisting
of four buildings in Colorado Springs, Colorado encompassing approximately 65,000 rentable square
feet for $10,150,000. We estimate that rental revenue will increase by approximately $375,000
during the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
On
August 12, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of the
Waterman Plaza property in San Bernardino, California. The property
consists of a newly constructed retail/office building of
approximately 21,800 rentable square feet and approvals for an
additional 2,300 square foot building. The purchase price was
$7,350,000 of which the Company borrowed $3,850,000 under a seven
year bank loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.5%. We estimate that
rental revenue will increase by approximately $200,000 during the
third and fourth quarter due to this acquisition.
We
currently have one properties under contract to purchase that would increase annual rental
revenues by approximately $60,000. On May 8, 2008, the Company entered into a contract to purchase the Escondido Office Building
located in Escondido, California for $4,850,000. This property consists of approximately 16,000
rentable square feet. The Company paid a deposit of $150,000 into escrow for this acquisition,
which amount is included in deposits on potential acquisitions in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008. This transaction is expected to close in September
2008. Our purchase of this properties is contingent upon obtaining satisfactory financing and our
approval of title and the propertys physical condition.
Interest income from mortgage loans was a new activity in the latter part of the 2nd
quarter of 2007 and accounted for approximately $64,842 of interest income during the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to $360 during the same period ended June 30, 2007. We do not
anticipate making any more mortgage loans.
The remainder of the interest in 2008 is from cash equivalents which decreased to $33,000 in 2008
from $88,000 in 2007. The average balance of cash equivalents held during the three months of 2008
was approximately $3,300,000 compared to $5,900,000 during the same period in 2007 and the rates
earned on short term investments of cash decreased from a range of 3-4% in 2007 to 1-2% in 2008.
The cash equivalent balance fluctuates depending on the closing dates of acquisitions that are hard
to anticipate. Due to the low rates on short term investments we have arranged a line of credit in
connection with the acquisition of the office building complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado of
$6,597,500 at a fixed rate of 6.25%. We expect to reduce this loan with excess cash and increase
the loan as we close additional acquisitions thereby increasing the yield on excess cash in the
future.

Rental Operating Expenses
Rental operating expense from continuing operations was $635,454 for the three months ended June
30, 2008 versus $338,170 for same period in 2007, an increase of $297,284, or 88%. The increase in
operating expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is attributable primarily to the same reasons that
rental revenue increased. However, the operating expense as a percentage rental income was 50%
for 2008 versus 47% in 2007. The increase in number of properties and diversification of type of
properties has resulted in the higher operating expense percentage. In particular the operating
expenses of the self storage properties added in 2008 averaged approximately 56% due to the
increased administrative demands of such properties compared to office or retail properties.
Rental operating expenses are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to
historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2007 for an entire period and
future acquisitions or real estate assets.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by $48,153 or 21% during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to the same period in 2007 due to the higher average outstanding borrowings. During the three
months ended June 30, 2008, the average mortgage loans on three of the properties was $17.9 million
compare to $14.5 million on the two properties during the three months ended June 30, 2007. We
anticipate interest expense to increase as a result of the increase in loan balance during 2007 for
an entire year 2008 and the interest expense on future acquisitions. In addition, we will borrow
funds to acquire both of the properties we currently have under contract.
The following is a summary of our interest expense on loans, including the interest and
amortization of deferred financing costs reported in the discontinued operations on the statement
of operations for the three months ended June 30,:

At June 30, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on our mortgage loans of $17,853,578 was 6.01%
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $183,932 to $325,157 during the
three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $141,225 during the same period in 2007. In 2008,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 25.6% as compared to
19.7% in 2007. In comparing our general and administrative expenses with other REITs one should
take into consideration that we are a self administered REIT and, therefore, these expenses are
usually higher. Accordingly, all of our expenses related to acquisitions, due diligence performed
by our officers and employees is charged as general and administrative expense as incurred rather
than being capitalized as part of the cost of real property acquired. The increase in general and
administrative expenses during 2008 and 2007 was primarily due to the increase in our capital, the
size of our real estate portfolio and the requirement that the Company register with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC). The primary increase was in employee costs and professional fees
related to the registration. During the three months in 2008 employee and director compensation
was approximately $163,000 compared to $73,000 during the same period in 2007. The number of
full-time administrative employees at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 8 and 6, respectively. 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 decline.
Approximately $89,000 of the increase was due to the cost of the 2007 audit and the need to
re-audit 2006 to meet the filing requirements of the SEC and the cost of engaging a Sarbane Oxley
consulting firm to perform a risk assessment and analysis of the Companys internal control in
order to meet the requirements of a company registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 (the 1934 Act). Approximately $20,000 of the increase was due to legal expenses in
connection with the filing or the registration statement and other reports with the SEC. We expect
these expenses to decrease due to the one time charge for re-audit of 2006, and the original risk
assessment however the audit fee will increase as we add more properties.

Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Stockholders
Net loss available to common stockholders was $199,911 during the three months ended June 30, 2008,
as compared to a loss of $17,388 during the same period in 2007. The increase in the loss is
primarily related to the increase in general and administrative expenses. The general and
administrative expenses will not increase to the same degree and we estimate that the addition of
the property acquired subsequent to June 30 and the properties under contract will make up the
deficit.

Revenues
Rental revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,534,947
versus $1,075,197 for same period in 2007, an increase of $1,459,750, or 136%. The increase in
rental revenue in 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to:
| The four properties acquired by NetREIT in 2007, which generated $1,165,349 of
rent revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2008. |
| The Havana/Parker Complex acquired in March 2007 which generated $826,393 in 2008
compared to $481,454 in 2007, an increase of $344,939. |
| Same property rents generated during the six months of 2008 and 2007 decreased by
$51,248 or 9% primarily due to a decrease in occupancy of the Garden Gateway Plaza.
The decrease resulted basically from one large tenant that ceased business. |
Rental revenues are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical
periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during late 2007 for an entire year, the July
9th acquisition of the Havana/Parker Complex and the pending acquisitions of real estate
assets. Four of the properties acquired in 2007 were purchased in the third and fourth quarters of
2007. On annualized basis the rental revenues of these four properties will increase revenues by
approximately $1,100,000 during the third and fourth quarters of 2008.
Interest income from mortgage loans was a new activity during the six months in 2007 and accounted
for approximately $124,145 of interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
$2,116 during the same period ended June 30, 2007. We do not anticipate making any more mortgage
loans.
The remainder of the interest income in 2008 is from cash equivalents which decreased to $48.3
thousand in 2008 compared to $137.6 thousand in 2007. The average balance of cash equivalents held
during the six months of 2008 was approximately $5.4 million compared to $6.7 million during the
same period in 2007 and the rates earned on short term investments of cash decreased from
approximately 4% in 2007 to 2% in 2008. The cash equivalent balance fluctuates depending on the
closing dates of acquisitions that are hard to anticipate. Due to the low rates on short term
investments we have arranged a line of credit in connection with the acquisition of the
Havana/Parker Complex of $6,597,500 at a fixed rate of 6.25%. We expect to reduce this loan with
excess cash and increase the loan as we close additional acquisitions thereby increasing the yield
on excess cash in the future.
Rental Operating Expenses
Rental operating expense from continuing operations was $1,283,388 for the six months ended June
30, 2008 compared to $554,487 for same period in 2007, an increase of $728,901, or 131.5%. The
increase in operating expense in 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily attributable to the same
reasons that rental revenue increased. However, the operating expense as a percentage rental
income was 50.6% for 2008 versus 51.6% in 2007. The increase in number of properties and
diversification of type of properties has resulted in the higher operating expense percentage. In
particular the operating expenses of the self storage properties added in 2008 averaged
approximately 56% due to the increased administrative demands of such properties compared to office
or retail properties. Rental operating expenses are expected to continue to increase in future
periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2007
for an entire period and future acquisitions or real estate assets.
Interest Expense
Interest and financing expense increased by $255,083 or 81% during the six months ended June 30,
2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to the higher average outstanding borrowings and an
increase in the effective rate including amortization of financing costs by .5%. During the six
months ended June 30, 2008, the average mortgage loans on three of the properties was approximately
$17.9 million while during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the average mortgage loans on two
properties was $10.9, an increase of 64%. We anticipate interest expense to increase as a result of
the increase in loan balance during 2007 for an entire year 2008 and the interest expense on future
acquisitions.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $265,920 to $581,869 during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $315,949 during the same period in 2007. In 2008, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 23% as compared to 29% in 2007.
In comparing our general and administrative expenses with other REITs one should take into
consideration that we are a self administered REIT and, therefore, these expenses are usually
higher. Accordingly, all of our expenses related to acquisitions, due diligence performed by our
officers and employees is charged as general and administrative expense as incurred rather than
being capitalized as part of the cost of real acquired. The increase in general and
administrative expenses during 2008 and 2007 was primarily due to the increase in our capital, the
size of our real estate portfolio and the requirement to become registered under the 1934 Act. The
primary increase was in employee costs and professional fees. During the six months in 2008,
employee and director compensation was approximately $317,000 compared to $201,000 during the same
period in 2007. The number of full-time employees at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 8 and 6,
respectively. 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 decline. Approximately $130,000 of the increase was due to SEC filing expenses, the
audit expense for the 2007 audit and the need to re-audit 2006 to meet the SEC requirements and the
expense of hiring a Sarbane Oxley consulting firm to advise us on risk assessment and analysis of
the companys internal control in order to meet the requirements of a 1934 Act registered company.
Approximately $28,000 of the increase was due to legal expense in connection with filing the
registration and other reports with the SEC. We expect these expenses to decrease due to the one
time charge for re-audit of 2006 and the original risk assessment and the first time filing expense
portion of the SEC filings, however the audit fee will increase as we add more properties.
Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Stockholders
Net income available to common stockholders was $216,303 during the six months ended June 30, 2008,
as compared to a loss of $98,642 during the same period in 2007. The net income in 2008 included a
gain on sale of real estate that if excluded there would have been a loss of $389,236. The net
loss in 2007 include income from discontinued operation that if excluded there would have been a
loss of $230,181. The increase in the loss during a time that revenue from properties increased is
due to the increase in general and administrative expenses. We do not expect the general and
administrative expenses to increase to the same degree and we estimate that the addition of the
property acquired subsequent to June 30 and the properties under contract will make up the deficit.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Interest Coverage Ratio
Our interest coverage ratio for 2008 was 1.53 times and for 2007 was 2.62 times. Interest coverage
ratio is calculated as: the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) divided
by interest expense, including interest recorded to discontinued operations. We consider interest
coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a companys ability to meet its
interest expense obligations. Our calculations of interest coverage ratio may be different from
the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. This
information should not be considered as an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures.

Our fixed charge coverage ratio for 2008 was 1.38 times and for 2007 was 3.84 times. Fixed charge
coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as interest coverage ratio, except that
preferred stock dividends are also added to the denominator. We consider fixed charge coverage
ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a companys ability to make its interest and
preferred stock dividend payments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2008, we had approximately $10.2 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $4.9
million at December 31, 2007. We used approximately $3.3 million on July 9, 2008 to close the
purchase of the office complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado and will need approximately $3 million
to close the Waterman Plaza and Escondido Office Building properties. We expect to obtain
additional mortgages collateralized by some or all of our real property in the future. We expect
the funds from operations; additional mortgages and securities offerings will provide us with
sufficient capital to make additional investments and to fund our continuing operations for the
foreseeable future. We also anticipate issuing additional equity securities in order to obtain
additional capital.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately
$49,000, which consisted of net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of 54.9%
interest in the Casa Grande Apartments offset primarily by $0.3 million of funds spent on capital
improvements to newly acquired properties and $0.8 million for deposits on potential acquisitions
as compared to net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 of
approximately $16 million which consisted primarily of the purchase of the Havana/Parker Complex of
$15 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately
$5.3 million, which primarily consisted of $10.4 million net proceeds from issuance of common stock
offset by $4.6 million of principal repayments of the mortgage on the Hesperia property and other
mortgage payments and dividend payments of approximately $0.6 million. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $19.1 million, which
consisted of the proceeds received from the long-term financing of the Colorado Springs property
totaling $11 million, the net proceeds from the offering of common stock and preferred stock of
approximately $8.5 million partially offset by dividend payments of approximately $.4 million.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2008 was approximately $118,000 primarily as a result
of net income before depreciation expense of $868,000, less the gain on sale of a 45.18% interest
in the Casa Grande Apartments for approximately $606,000.

Future Capital Needs
During 2008 and beyond, we expect to complete additional acquisitions of real estate. We intend to
fund our contractual obligations and acquire additional properties in 2008 by borrowing a portion
of purchase price and collateralizing the mortgages with the acquired properties or from the net
proceeds of issuing additional equity securities. We may also use these funds for general
corporate needs. If we are unable to make any required debt payments on any borrowings we make in
the future, our lenders could foreclose on the properties collateralizing their loans, which could
cause us to lose part or all of our investments in such properties. In addition, we need
sufficient capital to fund our dividends in order to meet these obligations.
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-rate debt at June 30, 2008 and
provides information about the minimum commitments due in connection with our ground lease
obligation and purchase commitment at June 30, 2008. Our secured debt agreements contain covenants
and restrictions requiring us to meet certain financial ratios and reporting requirements.
Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants or restrictions could result in the full or
partial principle balance of such debt becoming immediately due and payable. We were in compliance
with all our debt covenants and restrictions at June 30, 2008.

Capital Commitments
We currently project that we could spend an additional $500,000 to $800,000 in capital
improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs for properties within our stabilized portfolio
during the next twelve months, depending on leasing activity. Capital expenditures may fluctuate
in any given period subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain
our properties, the term of the leases, the type of leases, the involvement of external leasing
agents and overall market conditions. We have impounds with lending institutions of $500,000,
included in Restricted Cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, reserved for
these tenant improvement, capital expenditures and leasing costs.

Other Liquidity Needs
We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual
basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we intend to
continue to make, but have not contractually bound ourselves to make, regular quarterly
distributions to common stockholders and preferred stockholders from cash flow from operating
activities. All such distributions are at the discretion of our Board. We may be required to use
borrowings, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status. We
have historically distributed amounts in excess of the taxable income resulting in a return of
capital to our stockholders, and currently have the ability to not increase our distributions to
meet our REIT requirement for 2008. We consider market factors and our historical and anticipated
performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining our distribution levels. On April 30
and July 31, 2008, we paid a regular quarterly cash dividends to
stockholders of $0.147 and $0.14775 per common share, a total of
$1,325,521 of which $683,132 was reinvested. This dividend is
equivalent to an annual rate of $0.588 per share. In addition, on April 10 and July 10, 2008 we
paid the quarterly distributions to our Series AA Preferred stockholders of $43,926 of which $6,400
was reinvested.
We believe that we will have sufficient capital resources to satisfy our liquidity needs over the
next twelve-month period. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity needs, which may include
principal repayments of our debt obligations, capital expenditures, distributions to common and
preferred stockholders, and short-term acquisitions through retained cash flow from operations,
proceeds from the proceeds from disposition of non-strategic assets.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, which will include additional properties
through additional issuance of common stock, long-term secured borrowings. We do not intend to
reserve funds to retire existing debt upon maturity. We presently expect to refinance such debt at
maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of common stock as market conditions permit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2008, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including
contingent obligations.
Capital Expenditures, Tenant Improvements and Leasing Costs
Capital expenditures may fluctuate in any given period subject to the nature, extent, and timing of
improvements required to be made to the properties. We anticipate spending more on gross capital
expenditures during 2008 compared to 2007 due to rising construction costs and the anticipated
increase in asset purchases in 2008, however, we do not anticipate any significant capital
expenditures.
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
define FFO as net income or loss available to common stockholders computed in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 if the proceeds are available for distribution to shareholders 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.

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.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring
fair value under GAAP. The key changes to current practice are (1) the definition of fair value,
which focuses on an exit price rather than an entry price; (2) the methods used to measure fair
value, such as emphasis that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement, as well as the inclusion of an adjustment for risk, restrictions, and credit standing
and (3) the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements, SFAS 157 does not require any new
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company
adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 has not had a significant impact on
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value to improve financial reporting by providing
entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to
facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurements attributes for similar
types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 has not had a significant impact
on the Companys financial position as a result of operations. The Company did not elect to apply
the fair value option to any specific assets or liabilities.
In November 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-06, Accounting
for Sale of Real Estate Subject to the Requirements of SFAS 66 When the Agreement Includes a
Buy-Sell Clause (EITF 07-06). A buy-sell clause is a contractual term that gives both investors
of a jointly-owned entity the ability to offer to buy the other investors interest. EITF 07-06
applies to sales of real estate to an entity if the entity is both partially owned by the seller of
the real estate and subject to an arrangement between the seller and the other investor containing
a buy-sell clause. The EITF concluded the existence of a buy-sell clause does not represent a
prohibited form of continuing involvement that would preclude partial sale and profit recognition
pursuant to SFAS 66. The EITF cautioned the buy-sell clause could represent such a prohibition if
the terms of the buy-sell clause and other facts and circumstances of the arrangement suggest:
| the buyer cannot act independently of the seller or |
| the seller is economically compelled or contractually required to
reacquire the other investors interest in the jointly owned entity. |

The adoption of EITF 07-06 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141R
expands the definition of a business combination and requires the fair value of the purchase price
of an acquisition, including the issuance of equity securities, to be determined on the acquisition
date. SFAS 141R also requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent considerations, and
contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition dater. In
addition, SFAS 141R requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred,
restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date and changes
in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties
after the measurement period impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 141R will have on its future financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidating
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent,
the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling
equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. In addition, SFAS 160 provides reporting
requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the
interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is
prohibited. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a significant impact on
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
SEGMENTS DISCLOSURE.
The Companys reportable segments consist of the four types of commercial real estate properties
for which the Companys decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial
results: Residential Properties, Office Properties, Retail Properties and Self Storage Properties.
The Company also has certain corporate level activities including accounting, finance, legal
administration and management information systems which are not considered separate operating
segments.
The Company 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. There is no
intersegment activity.
See notes to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a Schedule of the
Segment Reconciliation to Net Income Available to Common Stockholders.

Not applicable.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms and that suck information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
management recognizes 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
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls
and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of June
30, 2008, the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of
that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level.
There have been no significant changes that occurred during the quarter covered by this report in
our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation
referenced above that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
