NetREIT (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California on January 28, 1999 for the purpose of investing in real estate properties. Effective August 4, 2010, NetREIT, a California Corporation, merged into NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation with NetREIT, Inc. becoming the surviving Corporation. As a result of the merger, NetREIT is now incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company qualifies and operates as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and commenced operations with capital provided by its private placement offering of its equity securities in 1999.

The Company invests in a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. The primary types of properties the Company invests in include office, retail, self-storage and residential properties located in the western United States. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned or had an equity interest in nine office buildings and one industrial building (“Office Properties”) which total approximately 690,000 rentable square feet, four retail shopping centers and a 7-Eleven property (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 171,000 rentable square feet, six self-storage facilities (“Self-Storage Properties”) which total approximately 581,000 rentable square feet, one 39 unit apartment building and 70 model homes investments owned by six limited partnerships (“Residential Properties”).

The Company is a General Partner in five limited partnerships (NetREIT 01 LP, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP, NetREIT Casa Grande LP, NetREIT Garden Gateway LP and NetREIT National City Partners, LP) and is the sole Managing Member in one limited liability company (Fontana Medical Plaza, LLC) all with ownership in real estate income producing properties. In addition, the Company is a limited partner in eight partnerships that purchase and leaseback model homes from developers (Dubose Acquisition Partners II and III or “DAP II and DAP III,” “Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3, LTD.,”, “Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4, LTD.,” “Dubose Model Home Income Fund #5, LTD.”, Dubose Model Home Investors Fund #113, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, LP). We refer to these entities collectively, as the “Partnerships”.

In March 2010, the Company purchased certain tangible and intangible personal property from Dubose Model Homes USA (“DMHU”), including rights to certain names, trademarks and trade secrets, title to certain business equipment, furnishings and related personal property. DMHU had used these assets in its previous business of purchasing model homes for investment in new residential housing tracts and initially leasing the model homes back to their developer. In addition, the Company also acquired DMHU's rights under certain contracts, including contracts to provide management services to 19 limited partnerships sponsored by DMHU and for which a DMHU affiliate serves as general partner (the “Model Home Partnerships”). These partnerships included DAP II and DAP III of which the Company was a 51% limited partner in each at the time of the acquisition. The Company paid the owners of DMHU $300,000 cash and agreed to issue up to 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock, depending on the levels of production the Company achieves from its newly formed Model Home REIT over the next three years. The Company also agreed to employ three former DMHU employees and to pay certain obligations of DMHU, including its office lease which expired on September 30, 2010. As Mr. Dubose is a Company director and was the founder and former president and principal owner of DMHU and certain of its affiliates, this transaction was completed in compliance with the Company's Board's Related Party Transaction Policy. The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination. Management performed an analysis of intangible assets acquired with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist and it was determined that $209,000 of the purchase price is attributable to customer relationships which will be amortized over 10 years. The Company also estimated a liability of $1,032,000 associated with the 120,000 shares that it believes will be issued in the future. As a result of this acquisition, total goodwill of $1,123,000 was recorded. The Company's investment in DAP II and DAP III have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements of NetREIT effective March 1, 2010.

 

In 2010, the Company formed a new subsidiary, NetREIT Advisors, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, and sponsored the formation of NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. (“NetREIT Dubose”), a Maryland corporation. NetREIT Dubose, a proposed REIT, invests in Model Homes it purchases from developers in transactions whereby the developer leases back the Model Home under a short term lease, typically one to three years in length. Upon expiration of the lease, NetREIT Dubose seeks to re-lease the Model Home until such time as it is able to sell the property. NetREIT Dubose owns substantially all of its assets and conduct its operations through a newly formed operating partnership called NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, LP (“Operating Partnership”) which is a wholly-owned Delaware limited partnership. NetREIT Advisors, LLC serves as advisor to NetREIT Dubose.

 

NetREIT Dubose is authorized to issue up to 25 million shares of $0.01 shares of stock. Of these authorized shares, 20 million are common stock and 5 million are preferred stock. The Company capitalized NetREIT Dubose with $1.2 million cash in exchange for a convertible promissory note, which was converted to NetREIT Dubose common stock on September 30, 2010. NetREIT Dubose has also commenced raising outside investor capital through a Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”). NetREIT Dubose intends to sell 1 million shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, or $10 million under the initial offering. The Company also has the option to increase the maximum offering amount to 2 million shares or $20 million. Through March 31, 2012, NetREIT Dubose has raised approximately $1.3 million from outside investors.

As of March 31, 2012, there were approximately 268,000 shares outstanding of which approximately 128,000 have been issued to parties other than NetREIT, Inc.

 

NetREIT Advisors, LLC also provides management services to the 19 Model Home Partnerships, pursuant to rights under the management contracts assigned to it by DMHU. These partnerships are in the process of liquidating assets towards an end of life. For these services, NetREIT Advisors, LLC receives ongoing management fees and has the right to receive certain other fees when the respective partnership sells or otherwise disposes of its properties.

In September 2010, the Company commenced three tender offers for the purchase of outstanding limited partnerships units of Dubose Model Home Income Funds #3, 4 & 5. The offerings closed effective November 30, 2010. The Company acquired approximately 74% of Income Fund #3 for $475,997 in cash and 39,827 shares for a total combined cost of $874,263. The Company acquired approximately 71% of Income Fund #4 for $343,074 in cash and 49,132 shares for a total combined cost of $834,394. The Company acquired approximately 67% of Income Fund #5 for $77,822 in cash and 23,931 shares for a total combined cost of $317,136. As a result of the Company acquiring control of these three limited partnerships, their financial statements have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning in December 2010.

 

In August 2011, the Company formed Dubose Advisors, LLC (“Dubose Advisors”) a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, and sponsored the formation of Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP. (“201 Partnership”), a California limited partnership. Dubose Advisors is the general partner and advisor to the 201 partnership. The 201 Partnership invests in Model Homes it purchases from developers in transactions whereby the developer leases back the Model Home under a short term lease, typically one to three years in length similar to NetREIT Dubose. The Company has initially invested $250,000 to capitalize the 201 Partnership and has commenced raising $1,750,000 in outside investor capital through the sale of 35 limited partner units at $50,000 per unit. As of March 31, 2012, the 201 Partnership has raised approximately $1,067,000 from outside investors.

In December 2011, the Company completed the formation of a California limited partnership, NetREIT National City Partners, LP (“National City Partnership”), whereby an unrelated limited partner contributed its fee interest in two adjacent multi-tenant industrial properties located in National City, California. The Company refers to the property as the Port of San Diego Complex. The Company contributed $465,975 cash and 1,649.266 shares of $1,000 liquidation value, 6.3% convertible preferred stock to capitalize the limited partnership. In addition, the Company contributed $2.9 million cash which was used to pay down the mortgage loan assumed by the Partnership to a balance of $9.5 million after the paydown. After completing the transactions discussed above, NetREIT has an approximate 75% interest in the National City Partnership as the sole general partner and will consolidate it into its consolidated financial statements.
