Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

March 31, 2017

1. ORGANIZATION

Organization. NetREIT (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California in January 1999 for the purpose of investing in real estate properties. Effective August 2010, NetREIT merged into NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, with NetREIT, Inc. becoming the surviving Corporation. As a result of the merger, NetREIT is now incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company qualifies and operates as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and commenced operations with capital provided by its private placement offering of its equity securities in 1999. The Company’s portfolio includes the following properties:

The following partnership activity occurred during the periods covered by these condensed consolidated financial statements:

The Company has determined that the entities described above, where it owns less than 100%, should be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company directs their activities and believes that it controls these limited partnerships through NetREIT, the Parent Company.

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 is 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 are 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 is 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. The Company believes that it has met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

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 tax deprecation methods used to compute the carrying value (basis) on the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, all distributions paid were considered return of capital to the stockholders as we reported a taxable net loss during the period.

The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed any significant interest or penalties for tax positions by any major tax jurisdictions.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2017 and amended on April 20, 2017.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying 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") for interim financial statement and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of our operations, and cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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, 2017. 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, 2016. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at year ended December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2017 and amended on April 20, 2017.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company controls or of which it is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants’ ability to pay. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Asset Impairments. We review the carrying value of each of our real estate properties quarterly to determine if circumstances indicate an impairment in the carrying value of these investments exists. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, management did not believe any impairment reserve was required.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously presented consolidated financial statements and condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of consolidated operations or equity.

Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016 -02 changes the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. This update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company is still evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-18 and its impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

8.  SERIES B MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In August 2014, the Company closed on a private placement offering of its mandatorily redeemable Series B Preferred Stock. The financing, was funded in installments and completed on December 24, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had issued 35,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities and therefore the related dividend payments are treated as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Series B preferred stock has a $0.01 par value and a $1,000 liquidation preference. The Series B preferred stock shall be redeemed through a cash payment of the face value of the shares outstanding at redemption. The preferred return on the funds invested is 14% and shall be paid on a monthly basis. The Series B Preferred Stock is scheduled to be redeemed on August 1, 2017; however, the Company has two one year options to extend the redemption date. The Company incurred approximately $3.1 million in legal and underwriting costs related to this transaction. These costs have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. Amortization expense totaling approximately $254,000 and $254,000 was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The unamortized deferred stock costs totaled $338,000 and $592,000 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

During 2016, the Company redeemed 300 shares in June, 1,000 shares in July and 1,000 shares in August for a total of $2.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company redeemed 1,000 shares for $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2017, the remaining outstanding share balance was 31,700.  On August 1, 2017, the redemption date, $31.7 million is due with two one year options to extend the redemption date at a cost of .05% per extension.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 8,990,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of the Preferred Stock, to determine the designation of any such series, and to determine or alter the rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock including the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price, and liquidation preference.

Common Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) $0.01 par value and 1,000 shares of Series B Common Stock $0.01 par value. The Common Stock and the Series B Common Stock have identical rights, preferences, terms and conditions except that the Series B Common Stockholders are not entitled to receive any portion of Company assets in the event of Company liquidation. There have been no Series B Common Stock shares issued. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption and it does not have any preference, conversion, exchange or pre-emptive rights. The articles of incorporation contain a restriction on ownership of the Common Stock that prevents one person from owning more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

In October 2006, the Company commenced a private placement offering of its common stock. Through December 31, 2011 when the offering was closed, the Company conducted a self-underwritten private placement offering and sale of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10 per share. This offering was made only to accredited investors (and up to thirty-five non-accredited investors) pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No public or private market currently exists for the securities sold under this offering.

13

Cash Dividends. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company paid cash dividends, net of reinvested stock dividends, of approximately $1,172,000 and $1,065,000, respectively, or at a rate of $0.40 per share on an annualized basis.  As the Company expects to report net taxable losses for the year ended December 31, 2017, and on a cumulative basis, the cash dividends paid are expected to be a return of capital to the stockholders rather than a distribution of earnings.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that allows stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of Company common stock. The Company has registered 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan. The dividend reinvestment plan became effective on January 23, 2012. The purchase price per share is 95% of the price the Company was formerly selling its shares or $9.50 per share. No sales commission or dealer manager fee will be paid on shares sold through the dividend reinvestment plan. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Any such amendment, suspension or termination will be effective upon a designated dividend record date and notice of such amendment, suspension or termination will be sent to all Participants at least thirty (30) days prior to such record date. As of March 31, 2017 approximately $16.9 million or approximately 1,777,469 shares of common stock have been issued under the dividend reinvestment plan to date.

10.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases a portion of its corporate headquarters at Pacific Oaks Plaza in Escondido, California to entities 100% owned by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Rental income recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $7,000 and $7,000, respectively.  

11. SEGMENTS

The Company’s reportable segments consist of the four types of commercial real estate properties for which the Company’s decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Office/Industrial/Medical Properties, Residential Properties and Retail 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 accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2.  There is no inter segment activity.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI for its segments as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, asset management fees, impairments and provision for bad debt). NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non-property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, real estate acquisition fees and expenses and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company uses NOI to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate investments and to make decisions about resource allocations.

14

The following tables reconcile the Company’s segment activity to its results of operations and financial position as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

(1)  Includes lease intangibles and the land purchase option related to property acquisitions.

(2)  Includes land, buildings and improvements, current receivables, deferred rent receivables and deferred leasing costs and other      related intangible assets, all shown on a net basis.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion relates to our financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, footnotes and to Cautionary Statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

The Company operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT.  The Company acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of real estate assets including industrial, office, retail and model home leased residential properties located throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2017, the Company owned or had an equity interest in:

NetREIT’s office, industrial, medical and retail properties are located primarily in Southern California and Colorado, with four properties located in North Dakota. Our geographical clustering of assets enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale by servicing a number of properties with less staff, but it also makes us more susceptible to changing market conditions in these discrete geographic areas.  We do not develop properties but acquire properties that are stabilized or that we anticipate will be stabilized within two or three years of acquisition. We consider a property to be stabilized once it has achieved an 80% occupancy rate for a full year as of January 1 of such year, or has been operating for three years.

Most of our office and retail properties are leased to a variety of tenants ranging from small businesses to large public companies, many of which do not have publicly rated debt. We have in the past entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements for real estate having net leases that require the tenant to pay all of the operating expense (NNN Leases) or pay increases in operating expenses over specific base years. Decreased demand and other negative trends or unforeseeable events that impair our ability to timely renew or re-lease space could have a negative effect on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Our Model Homes are typically leased for 2 to 3 years to the home developer on a triple net lease.  Under a triple net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property.  We seek to diversify our portfolio by commercial real estate segments to reduce the adverse effect of a single under-performing segment, geographic market and/or tenant. We further supplement this at the tenant level through our credit review process, which varies by tenant class.  For example, our commercial and industrial tenants tend to be corporations or individual owned businesses.  In these cases, we typically obtain financial records, including financial statements and tax returns, and run credit reports for any prospective tenant to support our decision to enter into a rental arrangement. We also typically obtain security deposits from these commercial entities. Our Model Home business tenants are typically substantial home developers with established credit histories. These tenants are subject to financial review and analysis prior to entering into a sale-leaseback transaction. Our ownership of the underlying property provides a further means to avoiding significant credit losses.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS IN 2017 AND 2016

Acquisitions – We did not acquire any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We acquired the following properties during the year ended December 31, 2016:

17

Dispositions - We review our portfolio of investment properties for value appreciation potential on an ongoing basis, and dispose of any properties that no longer satisfy our requirements in this regard. The proceeds from any such property sale, after repayment of any associated mortgage, are available for investing in properties that we believe will have a much greater likelihood of future price appreciation. We disposed of the following properties during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016:
