1. ORGANIZATION

Organization. Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), with holding in office, industrial, retail and model home properties. We were incorporated in the State of California on September 28, 1999, and in August 2010, we reincorporated as a Maryland corporation. In October 2017, we changed our name from “NetREIT, Inc.” to “Presidio Property Trust, Inc.” Through Presidio Property Trust, Inc., its subsidiaries and its partnerships, we own 13 commercial properties in fee interest, two of which we own partial interests in through our holdings in various affiliates in which we serve as general partner, member and/or manager.

The Company or one of its affiliates operates the following partnerships during the periods covered by these condensed consolidated financial statements:

• The Company is the sole general partner and a limited partner in two limited partnerships (NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP and NetREIT Casa Grande LP), all with ownership interests in entities that own income producing real estate.  The Company refers to these entities collectively as the "NetREIT Partnerships"

• The Company is the general and/or limited partner in six limited partnerships that purchase model homes and lease them back to homebuilders (Dubose Model Home Investors #202, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #203, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #204, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #205, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #206, LP and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, LP). The Company refers to these entities collectively as the “Model Home Partnerships”.

The Company has determined that the limited partnerships in which it owns less than 100% should be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company directs their activities and has control of such limited partnerships.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT in any taxable year and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. We are subject to certain state and local income taxes.

We, together with one of our entities, have elected to treat our subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. 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.

Initial Public Offering. On  October 6, 2020, we completed an initial public offering ("IPO"), selling 500,000 shares of our Series A Common Stock at $5.00 per share. Proceeds from our IPO were $2.0 million after deducting approximately $0.5 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and fees and before giving effect to $0.5 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. Incremental costs of $0.5 million that were directly attributable to issuing new shares were deducted from equity in the Consolidated Statements of Equity, while costs that were not directly related to issuing new shares of $0.5 million were expensed in deferred offering costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operation. We utilized the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Reverse Stock Split. On July 29, 2020, we amended our charter to effect a one-for-two reverse stock split of every outstanding share of our Series A Common Stock. The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

Liquidity. On September 17, 2019 the Company executed a Promissory Note (the “Polar Note”) pursuant to which Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund, executed a loan in the principal amount of $14.0 million to the Company. The Note bore interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum and requires monthly interest-only payments. On September 1, 2020, we extended the maturity of the Polar Note from October 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, at which time the entire outstanding principal balance of $8.8 million and accrued and unpaid interest was to be due and payable. On September 30, 2020 we paid a renewal fee of 4% on the unpaid principal balance of the Polar Note. The Company used the proceeds of the Polar Note to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the Polar Note was approximately $7.7 million. During the first quarter of 2021, prior to maturity, the Polar Note was paid in full mainly from available cash on hand and proceeds of property sales.

Principal payments due on our mortgage notes payables, during the last nine months of 2021, total approximately $11.3 million, of which $4.4 million is related to model home properties, and approximately $5.8 million is related to our World Plaza property ("World Plaza"), the loan for which contains an additional one-year extension feature.  Management expects that the loan secured by World Plaza, which is scheduled to sell to an unrelated third party in the second quarter of 2021, will be paid in full within the one-year extension period.  Management also expects certain model home properties will be sold, and the underlying mortgage notes will be paid off with sales proceeds while other mortgage notes will be refinanced.

As the Company continues its operations, it may re-finance or seek additional financing; however, there can be no assurance that any such re-financing or additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. Management believes that the combination of working capital on hand and the ability to refinance commercial and model home mortgages will fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited interim financial statements.
