NetREIT
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetREIT and its subsidiary, Fontana Medical Plaza, LLC (“FMP”). As used herein, the “Company” refers to NetREIT and FMP, collectively. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Organization. NetREIT (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California on January 28, 1999 for the purpose of investing in real estate properties. 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 properties and residential properties located in the western United States.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company owned or had an equity interest in seven office buildings (“Office Properties”) which total approximately 354,000 rentable square feet, three retail shopping centers and a single tenant retail property (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 85,000 rentable square feet, one 39 unit apartment building and one investment in a partnership with residential real estate assets (“Residential Properties”), and two self-storage facilities (“Self-Storage Properties”) which total approximately 210,000 rentable square feet.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Property Acquisitions. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) which requires the purchase price of acquired properties 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 adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

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 condensed 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of below market leases was $29,216 and $35,795, respectively.
The land lease acquired with the World Plaza acquisition in 2007 has a fixed purchase price option cost of $181,710 at the termination of the lease in 2062. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), management valued the land option at its residual value of $1,370,000, based upon comparable land sales adjusted to present value.
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 recruit 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 $91,498 and $119,877 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense related to these assets was $188,206 and $240,085 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Sales of Undivided Interests in Properties.
The Company accounts for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”). Pursuant to SFAS 66, profits from sales will not be recognized under the full accrual method by the Company until certain criteria are met. Profit (the difference between the sales value and the proportionate cost of the partial interest sold) shall be recognized at the date of sale if a sale has been consummated and the following:
  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.
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 related to these assets was $415,446 and $344,253 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Depreciation expense related to these assets was $818,978 and $699,944 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 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. In accordance with SFAS 142, indefinite-lived assets are not amortized. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives. The Company assesses its intangibles and goodwill for impairment at least annually.
In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company is required to perform a test for impairment of intangible assets at least annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant. The Company tests for impairment as of December 31. Based on the last review, no impairment was deemed necessary at December 31, 2008.
Investments in Real Estate Ventures. The Company analyzes its investments in joint ventures to determine whether the joint venture should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidated into the financial statements based on standards set forth under SFAS Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, Statement of Position 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. The Company has determined that the limited partners and/or tenants in common in its real estate ventures have certain protective and substantive participation rights that limit the Company’s control of the investment. Therefore, the Company’s share of its investment in real estate ventures have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in real estate ventures is stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings of real estate ventures is generally recognized based on the Company’s ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate ventures. For the purposes of presentation in the statement of cash flows, the Company follows the “look through” approach for classification of distributions from joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions are reported under operating cash flow unless the facts and circumstances of a specific distribution clearly indicate that it is a return of capital (e.g., a liquidating dividend or distribution of the proceeds from the joint venture’s sale of assets) in which case it is reported as an investing activity.
Management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures may be impaired when events or circumstances indicate that there may be an impairment. An investment is impaired if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. No impairment charges were recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.
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 were no provisions for loan losses during the three or six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.
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.

Table of Contents

Certain of the Company’s 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, included in other assets in the accompanying condensed 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 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 collectibility of tenant receivables and/or 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 balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts was $36,000 as of June 30, 2009. No such allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2008.
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 balance sheets and ceases to record depreciation and amortization expense. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any properties classified as held for sale.
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 Company’s best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows. There have been no impairments recognized on the Company’s real estate assets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Federal Income Taxes. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, for federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its stockholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. As a REIT, no provision will be made for federal income taxes on income resulting from those sales of real estate investments which have or will be distributed to stockholders within the prescribed limits. However, taxes will be provided for those gains which are not anticipated to be distributed to stockholders unless such gains are deferred pursuant to Section 1031. In addition, the Company will be subject to a federal excise tax which equals 4% of the excess, if any, of 85% of the Company’s ordinary income plus 95% of the Company’s capital gain net income over cash distributions, as defined.
Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) on the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things.

The Company believes that it has met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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.
Weighted average shares from share based compensation, shares from conversion of NetREIT 01 LP Partnership, NetREIT Casa Grande LP Partnership and shares from convertible preferred and warrants totaling 1,020,034 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive. Weighted average shares from share based compensation, shares from conversion of NetREIT 01 LP Partnership and shares from convertible preferred and warrants totaling 956,855 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, mortgages receivable, short term investments, tenant receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and mortgage notes payable. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. The Company’s estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, tenant receivables, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s mortgages receivable and mortgage notes payable approximate fair value since the interest rates on these instruments are equivalent to rates currently offered to the Company.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 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; 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.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts in 2008 have been reclassified to conform with the 2009 presentation. Total equity and net loss are unchanged due to these reclassifications.

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 mortgage loans and; as a result, the Company operates in five business segments. See Note 9 “Segment Information”.
Subsequent Events. Events occurring after June 30, 2009 requiring either recognition in these financial statements and/or disclosure in the notes thereto have been considered up through the filing date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, August 12, 2009.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards. In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rational for why that date was selected. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Since SFAS 165 at most requires additional disclosures, adoption did not have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is effective for the Company in the interim period ending September 30, 2009 and it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) as follows: a) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, identifying the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, b) to require ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, rather than only when specific events occur, c) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, d) to amend certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, e) to add an additional reconsideration event when changes in facts and circumstances pertinent to a variable interest entity occur, f) to eliminate the exception for troubled debt restructuring regarding variable interest entity reconsideration, and g) to require advanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management does not believe adoption of SFAS 167 will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2009, the Company invested $981,750 in Dubose Acquisition Partners II, Ltd, a limited partnership formed for the purpose of purchasing model homes with a potential for capital appreciation as well as rental income from the properties.
In April 2009, the Company formed NetREIT Casa Grande Partnership LP. The Company is the managing general partner and one of the three other tenants in common in the property became a limited partner. Both parties contributed their investment in Casa Grande to the partnership. The limited partner has the right to exchange its investment in the partnership into 78,215 shares of common stock of NetREIT in exchange for its investment in the partnership through September 30, 2013, the expiration date of the agreement. The Company has a put option to convert the partner’s equity share in NetREIT Casa Grande Partnership LP to shares of Company common stock at $9.30 per share for up to 78,215 shares upon the earlier of September 30, 2013 or, if sooner, the first anniversary following completion of an initial public offering of shares to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company’s share of earnings for these equity investments for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $594 and the Company had equity in earnings of $11,097 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s share of losses for these equity investments for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $56,104 and the Company had equity in earnings of $17,568 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

5. MORTGAGES RECEIVABLE
Mortgages receivable, together with accrued interest, having a balance due of approximately $2.1 million went into default on January 1, 2009. At December 31, 2008, the Company suspended accruing interest on these loans. In May 2009, the Company acquired title to the property that was securing the mortgages receivable. The property was acquired at a book value of $2.1 million. The property is not an income producing property, is not an integral component of the Company’s real estate asset portfolio and, therefore, is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009.
In connection with acquiring title to this property, the Company has entered into an exclusive option to sell the property. The selling price is equal to the face value of the notes, all accrued interest through the date the Company acquired title to the property, all costs incurred to maintain the property including taxes and insurance plus additional charges equal to 1.75% of the outstanding balance per month from June 2009 through the date the option is exercised. The selling price was set at approximately $2.3 million as of the closing date and increases by a minimum of approximately $41,000 monthly, plus reimbursable expenses, until 18 months from the date the Company acquired title at which time the exclusive option to sell the property expires. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses with respect to this property.

In connection with the sale of two properties in the fourth quarter of 2008 to unrelated tenants in common, the Company received mortgage notes receivable totaling $920,215 with interest rates ranging from 6.25% to 6.50% and due dates of October 15, 2009 for $603,841 and October 1, 2013 for $316,374. The loans call for interest only payments and both loans were current as of June 30, 2009. Both notes are secured by the mortgagee’s interest in the property.
6. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
The following table sets forth the components of mortgage notes payable as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2009     2008  
 
               
Mortgage note payable in monthly installments of $24,330 through July 1, 2016, including interest at a fixed rate of 6.51%, collateralized by the Havana/Parker Complex property.
  $ 3,426,804     $ 3,459,374  
 
               
Mortgage note payable in monthly installments of $71,412 through April 5, 2014, including interest at a fixed rate of 6.08%; collateralized by the leases and office buildings of the Garden Gateway Plaza property. Certain obligations under the note are guaranteed by the executive officers.
    10,195,205       10,670,864  
 
               
Mortgage note payable in monthly installments of $27,088 through February 1, 2012, including interest at a fixed rate of 5.31%; collateralized by the World Plaza property.
    3,452,446       3,522,227  
 
               
Revolving line of credit facility to borrow up to $6,597,500, interest only payments at a fixed rate of 6.25%; principal payable December 10, 2009; collateralized by the Executive Office Park and Regatta Square properties.
    596,750       20,000  
 
               
Mortgage note payable in monthly installments of $25,995 through September 1, 2015, including interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%; collateralized by the Waterman Plaza property.
    3,802,713       3,834,492  
 
           
 
               
 
  $ 21,473,918     $ 21,506,957  
 
           
In October 2008, the Company sold an undivided 5.99% interest in the Garden Gateway Plaza and, as a result, is in default of a covenant on its Garden Gateway loan. Prior to completing the sale, the Company sought the approval and waiver from the lender. The approval was not finalized before completing the sale. As a result, the loan is callable by the lender at any time. The Company has communicated this default to the lender and is attempting to obtain a waiver on this default. The Company is current with respect to payments due under the loan, is performing on all other conditions and covenants of the loan and does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In the event that the lender enforces its rights to call the loan as immediately due and payable that could materially affect the Company’s ability to repay its obligations under the revolving line of credit, such that the revolving line of credit facility may also be considered in default and may give that lender similar enforcement rights to call its loan as immediately due and payable.

The Company is in compliance with all conditions and covenants of its other loans.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain services and facilities are provided to the Company by C.I. Holding Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“CI”), a less than 1% shareholder in the Company, which is approximately 35% owned by the Company’s executive management. A portion of the Company’s 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 of up to 5% of gross income. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid CHG total management fees of $90,108 and $54,326, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid CHG total management fees of $171,603 and $110,676, 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 Company’s 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 six 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.
Beginning in November 2008, the Company took occupancy of Pacific Oaks Plaza in Escondido, California and leased a portion of the building to affiliates. Total rent charged and paid by these affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $12,486. Total rent charged and paid by these affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $24,972.

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Share-Based Incentive Plans
Stock Options.
Each of these options was awarded pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Flexible Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The exercise price and number of shares under option have been adjusted to give effect to stock dividends declared by the Company. There have not been any stock options granted since June 2005.
The following table summarizes employee stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2009:
                 
            Weighted

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2009, the options outstanding and exercisable had an exercise price of $8.64. The expiration date of the remaining options outstanding is June 2010.
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 $20,176 at June 30, 2009.
Share-Based Incentives. 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 beginning in January 2007. The nonvested shares have voting rights and are eligible for dividends paid to common shares. The share awards vest in equal annual installments 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 a 5% stock dividend since granted. The value of granted nonvested restricted stock issued during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled $418,900 and $278,710, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, dividends of $11,434 and $11,228 were paid on the nonvested shares, respectively. The nonvested restricted shares will vest in equal installments over the next two to four and a half years.
Cash Dividends. Cash dividends declared per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $0.30 and $0.295, respectively. The dividend paid to stockholders of the Series AA Preferred for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $21,962 and $21,963, respectively. The dividend paid to stockholders of the Series AA Preferred for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $43,925, 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, 2009, the net proceeds from the sale of 1,120,405 shares of common stock was $9,467,133. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the net proceeds from the sale of 1,230,110 shares of common stock was $10,354,616.
9. SEGMENTS
The Company’s five reportable segments consists of mortgage loan activities and the four types of commercial real estate properties for which the Company’s decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Residential Properties, 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.

Item 2. 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion relates to our condensed consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Statements contained in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to materially differ from those projected. Some of the information presented is forward-looking in nature, including information concerning projected future occupancy rates, rental rate increases, project development timing and investment amounts. Although the information is based our current expectations, actual results could vary from expectations stated in this report. Numerous factors will affect our actual results, some of which are beyond our control. 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 requirements under federal securities laws to disclose material information. For a discussion of important risks related to our business, and an investment in our securities, including risks that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from results and events referred to in the forward-looking information Item 1A and Item 7 included in the Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Economic Outlook
Beginning in the Fall of 2007 and throughout 2008 and 2009, the U.S. and global economy entered a serious recession. The current economic environment is characterized by a severe residential housing slump, depressed commercial real estate valuations, weak consumer confidence, rising unemployment and concerns regarding stagflation, deflation and inflation. Numerous financial systems around the world have become illiquid and banks have become less willing to lend to other banks and borrowers. Uncertainty remains in terms of the depth and duration of these adverse economic conditions.
The conditions described above have created an environment of limited financing alternatives for acquiring properties as lending institutions have cut back on making loans and tightened credit standards. Continued market volatility could impact our liquidity, financial condition and our ability to finance future property acquisitions. There are indications of some stabilization in the markets; however, we do not know if the adverse conditions affecting real estate will again intensify or the full extent to which the economic disruption will continue to affect us. If these market conditions continue, they may further limit our ability to timely refinance maturing liabilities and access to the capital markets to meet liquidity needs. A consumer-led economic slowdown has had a meaningful impact on most retailers, causing many companies, both national and local, to cease or curtail operations or declare bankruptcy. We have seen these economic conditions broadly across all of our markets.
These macro-trends have made it more difficult for us to achieve our objectives of growing our business through maintaining and/or increasing occupancy rates and putting downward pressure on existing rents at renewals. As an example, reductions in occupancy have adversely affected our rental income and caused us to increase bad debt expense, thereby negatively affecting our year over year same property rental income, which was down 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008 and down 16.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
NetREIT (which we sometimes refer to as “we,” “us” or the “Company”) operates as a self-administered REIT headquartered in the Pacific Oaks Plaza, in the City of Escondido in San Diego County, California. We have been in a growth stage having increased capital by approximately 42.7% to $55.5 million at June 30, 2009 from $38.9 million at June 30, 2008. Our investment portfolio, consisting primarily of real estate assets, net; lease intangibles, net, a land purchase option; and investments in real estate ventures, increased by approximately 66.7% to $73.0 million at June 30, 2009 from $43.8 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in capital and the increase in the real estate investment portfolio was made possible by the increase in net proceeds from the sale of common stock of approximately $24.5 million during the twelve month period ended June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company owned or had an equity interest in seven office buildings (“Office Properties”) which total approximately 354,000 rentable square feet, three retail shopping centers and a single tenant retail property (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 85,000 rentable square feet, one 39 unit apartment building and one investment in a partnership with residential real estate assets (“Residential Properties”), and two self-storage facilities (“Self-Storage Properties”) which total approximately 210,000 rentable square feet.
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 that we anticipate will be stabilized in the first year following our acquisition of the property. 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 year amounts. Most of our leases are for terms of three to five years with annual rental increases built into the leases.
Our residential and self storage properties that we currently own are rented under short term agreements of six months or less. 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 continue 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. We depend on advertisements, flyers, web sites, etc. to secure new tenants to fill any vacancies.

Current Developments and Trends
As mentioned above, real estate financing and sales markets are experiencing severe illiquidity, disruptions and uncertainty. These are trends which we first began experiencing in the Fall of 2007. We expect this trend may continue throughout 2009 and possibly beyond.
We believe uncertainty in the real estate financing market will continue to make mortgage financing more difficult to obtain, which may affect our ability to finance future property acquisitions. All three acquisitions during the six month period ended June 30, 2009 were obtained for cash and draws on our existing line of credit.
Illiquidity in the credit markets and negative trends in many other sectors of the U.S. economy have disrupted and depressed the real estate market, reducing the number of buyers and competition for properties. We believe that these trends will continue to depress the real estate market sales volumes and prices. This may present the Company opportunities to purchase properties at lower prices provided the Company does not need to rely on new mortgage financing. We are currently looking for properties we can acquire for cash or assume existing debt.
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 as banks and other institutional lenders have adopted more conservative lending practices. 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 that fluctuations in interest rates have on the values of our portfolio.
Increases in inflation generally will have a negative impact on our properties to the extent that tenant leases do not provide for rent increases in response to increase in inflation rates. 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.
General economic conditions and the resulting impact on market conditions or a downturn in our tenant’s businesses may adversely affect the value of our assets. Periods of economic slowdown or recession in the U.S., declining demand for leased properties and/or market values of real estate assets could have a negative impact on the value of our assets, including the value of our properties and related building and tenant improvements. If we were required under GAAP to write down the carrying value of any of our properties due to impairment, or if as a result of an early lease termination we were required to remove and dispose of material amounts of tenant improvements that are not reusable to another tenant, our financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.

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 its real estate portfolio. 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 our ability to generate necessary cash flows in order 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, 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. Management’s evaluation of our potential for generating cash flows includes an assessment of the long-term sustainability of our real estate portfolio. During this growth stage, past funding of distributions to our shareholders exceeded our cash flows from operations. We anticipate that as we acquire additional properties our revenues will increase at a faster rate than our general and administrative expenses due to efficiencies of scale. We therefore believe that distributions to our shareholders will be funded by cash flows from operations.
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, to a limited extent, 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 shareholders.
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 consolidated 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 10-Q.
Property Acquisitions. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which requires the purchase price of acquired properties 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 adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
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.

Table of Contents

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 condensed 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of below market leases was $29,216 and $35,795, respectively.
The land lease acquired with the World Plaza acquisition in 2007 has a fixed purchase price option cost of $181,710 at the termination of the lease in 2062. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), management valued the land option at its residual value of $1,370,000, based upon comparable land sales adjusted to present value. The amount is included as land purchase option on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the strike price of the option and the recorded cost of the land purchase option is approximately $1.2 million. The land purchase option was determined to be a contract based intangible associated with the land. This asset has an indefinite life and is treated as a non-amortizable asset.
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 recruit 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 $91,498 and $119,877 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense related to these assets was $188,206 and $240,085 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 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 Undivided Interests in Properties. The Company accounts for profit recognition on sales of real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”). Pursuant to SFAS 66, profits from sales will not be recognized under the full accrual method by the Company until certain criteria are met. Profit (the difference between the sales value and the proportionate cost of the partial interest sold) shall be recognized at the date of sale if a sale has been consummated and the following:
  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.
The Company did not have sales of undivided interests in its real estate in the three or six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company did not have sales of undivided interests in its real estate in the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company had 2 partial sales of undivided interests in properties in the six months ended March 31, 2008. In both cases, the criteria for meeting the full accrual method were met.
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 related to these assets was $415,446 and $344,253 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Depreciation expense related to these assets was $818,978 and $699,944 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
We have to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income, because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of these investments. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. We take several factors into consideration when assigning the useful life associated with building and improvements. Our acquisitions are subject to a great deal of due diligence before we complete a purchase. As a part of the due diligence we have expert third parties perform site inspections and, in most cases, we will also have the property appraised by a third party expert. Through these efforts and management’s judgment we determine what the expected remaining useful life to be at the time we acquire the property.
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. In accordance with SFAS 142, indefinite-lived assets are not amortized. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives. The Company assesses its intangibles for impairment at least annually.
In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company is required to perform a test for impairment of intangible assets at least annually, and more frequently as circumstances warrant. The Company tests for impairment as of December 31. Based on the last review, no impairment was deemed necessary at December 31, 2008.

Projections of future cash flows require us to estimate the expected future operating income and expenses related to the real estate and its related intangible assets and liabilities as well as market and other trends. The use of inappropriate assumptions in our future cash flows analyses would result in an incorrect assessment of future cash flows and fair values of the real estate and its related intangible assets and liabilities and could result in the overstatement of the carrying values of our real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities and an overstatement of our net income.
Investments in Real Estate Ventures. The Company analyzes its investments in joint ventures to determine whether the joint venture should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidated into the financial statements based on standards set forth under SFAS Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, Statement of Position 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. The Company has determined that the limited partners and/or tenants in common in its real estate ventures have certain protective and substantive participation rights that limit the Company’s control of the investment. Therefore, the Company’s share of its investment in real estate ventures have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in real estate ventures is stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings of real estate ventures is generally recognized based on the Company’s ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate ventures. For the purposes of presentation in the statement of cash flows, the Company follows the “look through” approach for classification of distributions from joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions are reported under operating cash flow unless the facts and circumstances of a specific distribution clearly indicate that it is a return of capital (e.g., a liquidating dividend or distribution of the proceeds from the joint venture’s sale of assets) in which case it is reported as an investing activity.
Management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures may be impaired when events or circumstances indicate that there may be an impairment. An investment is impaired if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. To the extent impairment has occurred, and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. No impairment charges were recognized for the three or six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.
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 Company’s 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, included in other assets in the accompanying condensed 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 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 collectibility of tenant receivables and/or 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 balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $36,000 as of June 30, 2009. No such allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2008.

Sales of Undivided Interests in our properties
The Company made no sales of real estate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Sales of undivided interests in earlier periods are described below by property:
The investors in the properties described below are held as limited partners or tenants in common and have been granted certain protective and participating rights that limit the Company’s control over investment in the property. As a result, the Company’s remaining investment in these properties is included on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in investment in real estate ventures and accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, the results from operations of the properties are accounted for on a “net” basis where the Company’s share of net operating income from the properties are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations under the caption equity in earnings (losses) of real estate ventures.
Casa Grande Apartments
In March 2008, the Company sold an undivided 54.9% interest in the Casa Grande Apartments located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The purchasers paid approximately $1.0 million, net of transaction costs, in cash.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Rental Income and Rental Operating Costs before net down for Properties Accounted for Under the Equity Method:
The Company currently has four properties that it has sold partial interests in and the investors have certain protective and participating rights of ownership that prevents the Company from reporting the results of operations from these properties on a gross rental income and rental operating cost basis. Instead, under the equity method, the Company reports only its share of net income based upon its pro rate share of its investment in the less than wholly owned property.
We consider this computation to be an appropriate supplemental measure of comparable period to period rental income and rental operating costs. Accounting for rental income and rental operating costs changed to the equity method at the point in time that we sold partial undivided interests in these four properties. Our calculations of “grossed-up” rental income may be different from calculations used by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to the equity method under GAAP.
The following table reflects the adjustments made to reconcile from the equity method used to the actual results had the Company reported based on total gross rental income and rental operating costs of all properties including properties less than 100% owned.

Revenues
Rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,311,223 compared to $1,198,888 for same period in 2008, an increase of $112,335. However, on a “grossed-up” basis, rental income increased to $1,951,103 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,270,338 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $680,765, or 53.6%. The increase in rental income as reported in 2009 compared to 2008 is primarily attributable to:
   
A decrease in rental income as reported due to partial sales of properties owned which was excluded from rental income resulted in a decrease of reported rental income of $542,546 in the three months ended June 30, 2009.
 
   
The properties acquired by NetREIT prior to the end of 2007 and included for full three month periods generated $547,796 of rental income during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $656,341 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $108,545. Rental income decreased by approximately 10% due to occupancy rates and another 3% due to decreases in rental rates. The balance of the decline was due to other non-recurring events.
 
   
Properties acquired after June 30, 2008 contributed an additional $763,427 in rental income in the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Rental income is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired in 2008 and early 2009 for an entire year and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Interest income from mortgage loans accounted for $14,738 of total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $64,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $50,104. One of the borrower’s, with an aggregate principal balance of $1.9 million, went into default on January 1, 2009. As a result of the default, the Company suspended the accrual of additional interest income on the loans at December 31, 2008. The Company acquired title to the property in May 2009 and has entered into an exclusive option to sell the property back to the borrower. The selling price is equal to the face value of the notes, all accrued interest through the date the Company acquired title to the property, all costs incurred to maintain the property including taxes and insurance plus additional charges equal to 1.75% of the outstanding balance per month from June 2009 through the date the option is exercised. The selling price was set at approximately $2.3 million as of the closing date and increases by a minimum of approximately $41,000 monthly, plus reimbursable expenses, until 18 months from the date the Company acquired title at which time the exclusive option to sell the property expires. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses with respect to this property.

Due to the low interest rates earned on short-term investments, the Company has been using available funds to pay down its line of credit facility with funds we might otherwise have kept in short term investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we made principal payments on the outstanding balance of this loan of $5.4 million using the excess cash we had normally invested in short term investments in the past.
Rental Operating Costs
Rental operating costs were $612,538 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $584,147 for same period in 2008, an increase of $28,391, or 4.9%. The increase in rental operating costs in 2009 compared to 2008 is primarily attributable to the same reasons that rental income increased. Due to the partial sales of undivided interests in four of the properties, rental operating costs of $261,578 were excluded for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $32,433 excluded in the same period in 2008. Rental operating costs on a “grossed-up” basis as a percentage of “grossed-up” rental income was 44.8% and 48.5% for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in rental operating costs as a percentage of rental income is primarily attributable to the addition of the Morena Office Center in January 2009. For the quarter, Morena’s operating costs as a percentage of income was 25.8%. 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 decreased by $49,683 or 18.1%, to $224,623 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $274,306 for the same period in 2008. The primary reason for the decrease is attributable to interest expense on the Garden Gateway property that has been reclassified to equity in earnings (losses) of real estate ventures. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, interest on the Garden Gateway loan was $157,308. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the average balance of the mortgage loans on five of the properties was $23.5 million while the average for the same three months in 2008 on three properties was $17.9 million. We anticipate interest expense to increase as a result of the increase in loan balances during 2008 and for an entire year 2009 and the interest expense on financing future acquisitions.
The following is a summary of our interest expense on loans included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30:
                 
    2009     2008  
Interest on Havana/Parker Complex

At June 30, 2009, the weighted average interest rate on our mortgage loans of $21,473,918 was 6.10%.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $193,633 to $518,790 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $325,157 for the same period in 2008. In 2008, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total gross revenue, including rental income from joint ventures, was 26.6%, compared to 25.6% for the same period in 2008. In comparing our general and administrative expenses with other REITs you should take into consideration that we are a self administered REIT. Accordingly, prior to the adoption of SFAS 141R in 2009, 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 estate acquired.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, our salaries and employee related expenses increased $66,118 to $213,443 compared to $147,325 for the same three months in 2008. The increase in salary and employee expenses in 2009 was primarily attributable to the Company hiring a general counsel in late December 2008 and a vice president-finance in late February 2009. Further, non-cash compensation related to restricted stock grants to employees was approximately $15,000 additional expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008. We anticipated 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 in future periods. Insurance expenses increased by approximately $24,000 due to the additional personnel, the addition of key man life insurance, the addition of directors and officers liability insurance and general insurance rate increases.
Legal, accounting and public company related expenses and for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $133,841, compared to $118,634 during the same period in 2008, an increase of $15,207, or 12.8%. The increase is due to the additional costs associated with the restatement of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the first two quarters of 2008 as well as the additional efforts involved with complying with SEC rules and regulations.
Our occupancy and office related expenses increased approximately $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the increase in personnel and the building costs associated with the September 2008 acquisition of the Company’s corporate headquarters.
Directors’ compensation expense that consisted of non-cash amortization of restricted stock grants was approximately $24,300 additional expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $537,419, or $0.07 loss per share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to loss of $382,877, or $0.08 loss per share, during the same period in 2008. The increase in net loss is due primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses and an increase in depreciation expense. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will not increase in the future to the same degree and we estimate that the past and continued growth in our investment portfolio will significantly reduce or eliminate the loss.
The net loss of $515,457 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 adjusted for $661,299 in depreciation and amortization expense, including depreciation expense on real estate ventures, was income of $145,842. Net loss of $360,914 for the same three months in 2008 adjusted for $484,866 in depreciation and amortization expense, including depreciation expense on real estate ventures, was income of $123,952.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Rental Income and Rental Operating Costs before net down for Properties Accounted for Under the Equity Method:
The Company currently has four properties that it has sold partial interests in and the investors have certain protective and participating rights of ownership that prevents the Company from reporting the results of operations from these properties on a gross rental income and rental operating cost basis. Instead, under the equity method, the Company reports only its share of net income based upon its pro rate share of its investment in the less than wholly owned property.
We consider this computation to be an appropriate supplemental measure of comparable period to period rental income and rental operating costs. Accounting for rental income and rental operating costs changed to the equity method at the point in time that we sold partial undivided interests in these four properties. Our calculations of “grossed-up” rental income may be different from calculations used by other companies. This information should not be considered as an alternative to the equity method under GAAP.

Rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,544,793 compared to $2,439,711 for same period in 2008, an increase of $105,082. However, on a “grossed-up” basis, rental income increased to $3,829,156 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $2,534,947 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $1,294,209, or 51.1%. The increase in rental income as reported in 2009 compared to 2008 is primarily attributable to:
   
A decrease in rental income as reported due to partial sales of properties owned which excluded from rental income resulted in a decrease of reported rental income of $1,136,769 in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
   
The properties acquired by NetREIT prior to the end of 2007 and included for full six month periods generated $1,127,582 of rental income during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $1,302,939 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $175,357. Rental income decreased by approximately 9% due to occupancy rates and another 3% due to decreases in rental rates. The balance of the decline was due to other non-recurring events.
 
   
Properties acquired after June 30, 2008 contributed an additional $1,417,208 in rental income in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Rental income is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired in 2008 and early 2009 for an entire year and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Interest income from mortgage loans accounted for $29,314 of total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $124,145 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $94,831. As discussed above, a borrower with an aggregate principal balance of $1.9 million went into default on January 1, 2009. As a result of the default, the Company suspended the accrual of additional interest income on the loans at December 31, 2008. The Company acquired title to the property in May 2009 and has entered into an exclusive option to sell the property back to the borrower. The selling price is equal to the face value of the notes, all accrued interest through the date the Company acquired title to the property, all costs incurred to maintain the property including taxes and insurance plus additional charges equal to 1.75% of the outstanding balance per month from June 2009 through the date the option is exercised. The selling price was set at approximately $2.3 million as of the closing date and increases by a minimum of approximately $41,000 monthly, plus reimbursable expenses, until 18 months from the date the Company acquired title at which time the exclusive option to sell the property expires. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses with respect to this property.

Due to the low interest rates earned on short-term investments, the Company has been using available funds to pay down its line of credit facility with funds we might otherwise have kept in short term investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we made principal payments on the outstanding balance of this loan of $8.3 million using the excess cash we had normally invested in short term investments in the past.
Rental Operating Costs
Rental operating costs were $1,195,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,217,550 for same period in 2008, a decrease of $21,662, or 1.8%. The decrease in rental operating costs in 2009 compared to 2008 is primarily attributable to the partial sales of undivided interests in four of the properties, rental operating costs of $261,578 were excluded for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $32,433 excluded in the same period in 2008. Rental operating costs on a “grossed-up” basis as a percentage of “grossed-up” rental income was 44.9% and 49.5% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in rental operating costs as a percentage of rental income is primarily attributable to the addition of the Morena Office Center in early January 2009. For the six months, Morena’s operating costs as a percentage of income was 27.2%. 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 decreased by $118,673 or 20.8%, to $451,179 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $569,852 for the same period in 2008. The primary reason for the decrease is attributable to interest expense on the Garden Gateway property that has been reclassified to equity in earnings (losses) of real estate ventures. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, interest expense on the Garden Gateway loan was $322,522. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the average balance of the mortgage loans on five of the properties was $24.3 million while the average for the same six months in 2008 on four properties was $17.9 million. We anticipate interest expense to increase as a result of the increase in loan balances during 2008 and for an entire year 2009 and the interest expense on financing future acquisitions.

In 2008, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total gross revenue, including rental income from joint ventures, was 27.9%, compared to 23.0% for the same period in 2008. In comparing our general and administrative expenses with other REITs you should take into consideration that we are a self administered REIT.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our salaries and employee related expenses increased $127,647 to $414,538 compared to $286,891 for the same three months in 2008. The increase in salary and employee expenses in 2009 was primarily attributable to the Company hiring a general counsel in late December 2008 and a vice president-finance in late February 2009. Further, non-cash compensation related to restricted stock grants to employees was approximately $29,000 additional expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008. Insurance expenses increased by approximately $53,000 due to the additional personnel, the addition of key man life insurance, the addition of directors and officers liability insurance and general insurance rate increases. We anticipated an increase in staff, compensation and insurance costs as our capital and portfolio continue to increase. However, we anticipate that these costs as a percentage of total revenue will decline in future periods.
Legal, accounting and public company related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $287,262, compared to $176,425 during the same period in 2008, an increase of $110,837, or 62.8%. The increase is due to the additional costs associated with the restatement of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the first two quarters of 2008 as well as the additional efforts involved with complying with SEC rules and regulations.
Our occupancy and office related expenses increased approximately $78,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the increase in personnel and the building costs associated with the September 2008 acquisition of the Company’s corporate headquarters.
Directors’ compensation expense that consisted of non-cash amortization of restricted stock grants was approximately $48,600 additional expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008.

Acquisition costs related to property acquisitions were approximately $34,000 in 2009 as a result of the change related to SFAS 141R requiring such expenses be expensed when incurred rather than capitalized as additional purchase price of the property acquired.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1,220,644, or $0.17 loss per share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to a loss of $150,525, or $0.03 loss per share, during the same period in 2008. The increase in net loss is due primarily due to the prior year including a gain on sale of real estate of $605,539 as well as increases in general and administrative expenses and depreciation expense. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will not increase in the future to the same degree and we estimate that the past and continued growth in our investment portfolio will significantly reduce or eliminate the loss.
The net loss of $1,176,719 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 adjusted for $1,322,590 in depreciation and amortization expense, including depreciation expense on real estate ventures, was income of $145,871. Net loss of $106,600 for the same six months in 2008 adjusted for $979,118 in depreciation and amortization expense, including depreciation expense on real estate ventures, was income of $872,518.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Interest Coverage Ratio
Our interest coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.48 times and for the same period in 2008 was 1.34 times. Interest coverage ratio is calculated as: the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) divided by interest expense. We consider interest coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s 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 liquidity measures under generally accepted accounting principles.
The following is a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities on our statements of cash flows to our interest coverage amount for the six months ended June 30:

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
Our fixed charge coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.34 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 1.24 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 company’s ability to make its interest and preferred stock dividend payments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity Sources
Our general strategy is to maintain a conservative balance sheet and to seek to create a capital structure that allows for financial flexibility and diversification of capital resources. We manage our capital structure to reflect a long-term investment approach. We believe our conservative leverage provides us with financial flexibility and enhances our ability to obtain additional sources of liquidity as needed.
We believe that our current projected liquidity requirements for 2009 will be satisfied using cash flow generated from operating activities from the currently owned properties and projected acquisitions, the line of credit and depending upon market conditions, proceeds from disposition of non-strategic assets.
As of June 30, 2009, we had borrowings of approximately $0.6 million outstanding under our line of credit and additional borrowing capacity of approximately $6.0 million. We have five properties with a net book value of $25.1 million that are not pledged as collateral for a secured loan at June 30, 2009.
Future Capital Needs
During 2009 and beyond, we expect to complete additional acquisitions of real estate. We intend to fund our contractual obligations and acquire additional properties 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.

Financing
In October 2007, we commenced a 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 $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Capitalization
As of June 30, 2009, our total debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 20.9% and our total debt and liquidation value of our preferred equity as a percentage of total market capitalization was 22.1%, which was calculated based on the offering price per share of our common stock of $10.00 under the current private placement offering.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2009, we had $695,335 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2008. Due to the decrease in interest rates earned on money market accounts and short term investments, we made arrangements with a bank to extend credit on the acquisition of the Executive Office Park on a credit line of $6,597,500, whereby, we can reduce the loan with our excess cash and draw on it when we need it for acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we took out advances of approximately $8.9 million to partially fund operations, property acquisitions and investments in real estate ventures and we paid the loan down by approximately $8.3 million from funds from operations and from the net proceeds received from the sale of equity securities. If the market will allow, we expect to obtain additional mortgages collateralized by some or all of our real property for future acquisitions. We anticipate to continue issuing equity securities in order to obtain additional capital. 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.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities is generally used to acquire new properties and for non-recurring capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $11.7 million, compared to $0.03 million cash provided by investing activities for the same period in 2008. The significant investing activities during 2009 were the acquisition of three properties for approximately $11.1 million. In 2009, the Company acquired the Morena Office Center for $6.6 million, the Fontana Medical Plaza for $1.9 million and the Rangewood Medical Office Building for $2.6 million. These properties were acquired with the cash on hand and a draws on the line of credit of $7.8 million. Investing activities also included an investment in a real estate limited partnership of approximately $1.0 million and approximately $200,000 spent on building improvements.

Our net cash flow for financing activities is generally impacted by our capital raising activities net of dividends and distributions paid to common and preferred stockholders.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $7.9 million, compared to $5.3 million in for the same six months in 2008. The financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted primarily of net draws on the line of credit facility net of principal repayments on all loans of $0.03 million and net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $9.5 million reduced by dividends paid of $1.3 million.
Our sale of a 5.99% interest in Garden Gateway Plaza resulted in our breach of our covenant not to transfer an interest in this property under the Garden Gateway Plaza loan documents. We sold this undivided interest without first receiving the lender’s consent or waiver. In late June 2009, we submitted our written request to the lender for its consent and waiver both for this transfer and our proposed transfer of the entire property to a newly formed limited partnership, for which we would be sole general partner and the majority limited partner. In its latest response, the lender has requested a waiver fee of one quarter of one percent (approximately $27,000) and our reimbursement of its legal expenses. We are awaiting the lender’s review of the property’s status and its requested legal structure for its consent and waiver. Based on the lender’s response thus far, we expect to resolve this matter at a cost of less than $50,000. We believe it is in the lender’s best interests not to declare a default and accelerate payment of this otherwise fully performing loan. In the event we cannot reach agreement and the lender does accelerate payment of the loan, we believe we have the financial resources to pay the loan. We could do so by using our cash on hand, additional borrowings under our present credit facility and, as necessary, funds from additional financing secured by one or more of our other unencumbered properties.

Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operating activities is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectibility of rent and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating expenses and other general and administrative costs.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $302,948, compared to $33,727 cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is in cash used in operating activities is the result of the net loss in 2009 which was primarily attributable to increased general and administrative expenses and the decrease in rental income from the Havana/Parker Complex and other properties as more fully discussed above.

The Company sold an undivided 5.99% interest in the Garden Gateway Plaza and, as a result, is in default of a covenant on its Garden Gateway loan. See also “Liquidity Sources — Financing Activities” above.
The Company is in compliance with all conditions and covenants of its other loans.
Capital Commitments
We currently project that we could spend an additional $100,000 to $400,000 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. As of June 30, 2009, we have impounds with lending institutions of approximately $163,000, included in restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, reserved for these tenant improvement, capital expenditures and leasing costs.
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.
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 and gains from sale of real estate. 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 2009. We consider market factors, our historical and anticipated performance from recent and projected acquisitions in addition to REIT requirements in determining our distribution levels. On July 31, October 31, 2008 and April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2009, we paid regular quarterly cash dividends to stockholders of $0.14775, $0.1485 $0.15 and $0.15 per common share, a total of $5.4 million of which $3.0 million was reinvested. This dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of approximately $0.60 per share. In addition, on July 10, October 10, 2008, January 10 and April 10, 2009, we paid the quarterly distributions to our Series AA Preferred stockholders of $87,850 of which approximately $6,000 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 and possibly from proceeds from the proceeds from the 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, 2009, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including contingent obligations.
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 in accordance with the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) computed 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 or 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.

The following table presents our FFO, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

FFO should not be considered as alternative to net income (loss), as an indication of our performance, nor is FFO indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. 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 stockholders.
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.
Recently issued Accounting Standards In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rational for why that date was selected. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Since SFAS 165 at most requires additional disclosures, adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification is effective for the Company in the interim period ending November 30, 2009 and it does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) as follows: a) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, identifying the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, b) to require ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, rather than only when specific events occur, c) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, d) to amend certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, e) to add an additional reconsideration event when changes in facts and circumstances pertinent to a variable interest entity occur, f) to eliminate the exception for troubled debt restructuring regarding variable interest entity reconsideration, and g) to require advanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management does not believe adoption of SFAS 167 will have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
SEGMENTS DISCLOSURE.
The Company’s reportable segments consist of mortgage activities and the four types of commercial real estate properties for which the Company’s 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’s chief operating decision makers evaluate 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 the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a Schedule of the Segment Reconciliation to Net Income Available to Common Stockholders.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
In our filings on Form 10 and Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2008, the Company restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2008 to correct certain errors relating to the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). Pursuant to SFAS 141, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to land, buildings, tenant improvements and identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases, unamortized leasing commissions, value of above or below market leases, tenant relationships and value associated with a land purchase option based upon respective market values. The Company determined that the initial process of estimating fair values for acquired in-place leases did not include all components of such valuation and it did not value the tenant relationships.
In addition, the Company did not properly account for its remaining interests in its 7-11 property following the sale of an undivided 48.66% interest in the property. This accounting treatment is based on standards set forth under SFAS Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, A.I.C.P.A Statement of Position 78-9, “Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights. Due to the protective and substantive participation rights of the tenant in common, the ongoing accounting for the Company’s investment should have been under the equity method of accounting. In the previously issued financial statements, the Company had used the proportional interest consolidation method.
Following such reconsideration, we have concluded that we did not correctly apply generally accepted accounting principles as they related to accounting for acquisitions under SFAS 141 and our investment in real estate ventures because our accounting staff did not have adequate training or expertise on the proper application of the specific accounting principles at the time the financial statements contained in the 2007 Form 10 were originally prepared and filed. As a result of this inadequacy, we have further concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the application of generally accepted accounting principles as they related to accounting for acquisitions and, as a result, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

However, we have concluded that the lack of adequate training or expertise of our accounting staff was limited to the application of SFAS 141 and accounting for investments in real estate ventures and the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and related inadequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures did not otherwise affect the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, because we did not identify the above-described material weakness until the third quarter of 2008, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in the periods covered by, and as asserted in, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31 and June 30 and September 30, 2008.
During 2008, we made a number of improvements to our internal accounting resources through the addition of a Vice President Finance with over 30 years experience in finance and accounting including the application of SFAS 141 and accounting for investments in real estate ventures in an effort to minimize financial reporting deficiencies in the future. Therefore, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have determined that the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the related inadequacy in our disclosure controls and procedures that existed as of September 30, 2008 have since been remedied.
The misapplication of SFAS 141 and accounting for investments in real estate ventures had no effect to the total acquisition costs of the properties involved and there was no effect to cash. However, the effect of the restatement for the property acquisitions was to increase depreciation and amortization expense since the values have been reclassified to shorter lived assets. The effect of the accounting for investments in real estate ventures was a reclassification of assets and liabilities to the line item investment in real estate ventures on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and to reclassify rental income and rental operating costs to equity in earnings of real estate ventures.
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 June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than the changes described above under “Controls and Procedures.”
