Organization and Basis of Presentation	1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION 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/industrial, retail, self-storage and residential properties located in the western United States. As of December 31, 2013, including properties held for sale, the Company owned or had an equity interest in eleven office buildings and one industrial building ("Office Properties") which total approximately 786,000 rentable square feet, four retail shopping centers ("Retail Properties") which total approximately 186,000 rentable square feet, seven self-storage facilities ("Self-Storage Properties") which total approximately 652,000 rentable square feet, and 77 Model Homes owned by four limited partnerships ("Residential Properties"). The Company is the sole 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 six 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". During 2012, DAP III, Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3, Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4 and Dubose Model Home Income Fund #5 sold all their model home assets. DAP III and Dubose Model Home Income Fund #5 were dissolved before the end of 2012. Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3 and Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4 each has an investment in DAP II, its one remaining asset. Dubose Model Home Investors Fund #113, LP has one model home remaining as of December 31, 2013. The limited partnerships have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company in accordance with guidelines attributable to variable interest entities. 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 used 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, at acquisition, 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, in accordance with an earn-out provision, issued approximately 39,000 shares of Company Common Stock, as a result of the level of production the Company achieved from new model home acquisitions over the three year period ended February 28, 2013. The Company also agreed to employ three former DMHU employees. As Mr. Dubose is a Company director and was the founder, 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 was accounted for as a business combination. Management performed an analysis of intangible assets acquired and it was determined that $209,000 of the purchase price is attributable to customer relationships which is being amortized over 10 years. The Company had anticipated that the full earn-out would have been achieved and estimated a liability of $1,032,000 associated with the 120,000 shares that it believed would have been issued during the three year earn-out period. As a result, the total purchase price of $1,332,000 was allocated between goodwill of $1,123,000 and intangible assets of $209,000. In 2012, the Company reduced the liability and recognized a gain of $691,000 for the difference of the anticipated earn-out to the actual earn-out. The limited partnerships have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company in accordance with guidelines attributable to variable interest entities since their acquisition. 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 its 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 also raised outside investor capital through a Private Placement Memorandum ("PPM") that was closed on December 31, 2013. NetREIT Dubose sold approximately 924,000 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, or $8.0 million under the initial offering. NetREIT Advisors, LLC also provides management services to one remaining Model Home Partnership, pursuant to rights under the management contracts assigned to it by DMHU. This partnership is 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. 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. Income Fund #5 sold its last model home in 2012 and the partnership was liquidated. Income Funds #3 and #4 have also sold all of their model homes before the end of 2012. These two funds only remaining asset is a minority ownership of DAP II. 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 sole 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 initially invested $250,000 to capitalize the 201 Partnership and has raised $2,750,000 in outside investor capital through the sale of 60 limited partner units at $50,000 per unit. As of December 31, 2013, the 201 Partnership has raised the maximum $3.0 million 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, as a result, the National City Partnership is included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. In March 2013, Dubose Advisors sponsored the formation of Dubose Model Home Investors #202, LP. ("202 Partnership"), a California limited partnership. Dubose Advisors is the sole general partner and advisor to the 202 partnership.

The 202 Partnership intends to raise up to $5 million from outside investors. The Company has determined that the entities described above, where it owns less than 100%, meets the tests to be considered variable interest entities ("VIE's"), as defined and, as a result, all of these entities have been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the point that it was determined to be VIE. In addition, the Company believes that it has significant control of these limited partnerships and directs the significant activities of the limited partnerships through NetREIT, the Parent Company. Effective January 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to consummate the merger acquisition of CHG Properties, Inc. ("CHG"), a California corporation.

The Company determined the fair market value of CHG to be $1.9 million and the transaction was reviewed and unanimously approved by the independent Directors of the Board. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company formed NTR Property Management, Inc. ("NTR"), a California corporation (note 5). NTR functions as the sole in-house property manager for the Company after the merger, reducing the Company's property management expense by the marked-up charges previously paid to CHG. The Company acquired the existing infrastructure, experienced personnel, and computer systems which were assigned to and assumed by NTR. Management has determined that the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination. Of the $1.9 million purchase price, $600,000 has been allocated to customer contracts and/or relationships. This asset is being amortized over a ten year period. The remaining purchase price of approximately $1.3 million has been recorded as goodwill. Management will conduct an impairment review on an annual basis in connection with its properties impairment review. Both of these assets, net of amortization, are included in "Other assets, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
