Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying 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.
Federal Income Taxes | 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, because of net losses, all distributions were considered return of capital to the stockholders and therefore non-taxable. The Company believes that it has met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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 interest or penalties for tax positions by any major tax jurisdictions.
Sales of Real Estate Assets | Sales of Real Estate Assets. Gains from the sale of real estate assets will not be recognized under the full accrual method by the Company until certain criteria are met. Gain or loss (the difference between the sales value and the cost of the real estate sold) shall be recognized at the date of sale if a sale has been consummated and the following criteria are met:
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. As of June 30, 2014, Management has concluded that there are 26 Model Home properties aggregating approximately $9.9 million which are considered as held for sale and are included in real estate assets. These homes have mortgage notes payable of approximately $4.9 million.
Impairment | Impairment. The Company reviews 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 is written down to its estimated fair value based on the Company's best estimate of the property's discounted future cash flows. Based on the review, no impairment was deemed necessary at June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Loss Per Common Share | Loss Per Common Share. Basic loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (the "numerator") by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the "denominator") during the period. Diluted loss 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. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per share. The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic loss per common share computation to the denominator of the diluted loss per common share computations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:
| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |
Adjusted weighted average shares used for diluted EPS |  |  | 16,829,933 |  |  |  | 15,986,632 |  |  |  | 16,768,211 |  |  |  | 16,072,826 |
Weighted average shares from share based compensation, shares from conversion of NetREIT 01 LP Partnership, Casa Grande LP Partnership, NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP Partnership, NetREIT Garden Gateway LP Partnership, NetREIT National City Partners LP Partnership and shares from stock purchase warrants with respect to a total of 1,356,093 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 1,382,433 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates | 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 consolidated 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 and the provision for possible loan losses with respect to mortgages receivable and interest. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Segments | Segments. The Company acquires and operates income producing properties including office properties, residential properties, retail properties and self-storage properties and, as a result, the Company operates in four business segments. See Note 7 "Segment Information".
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements are issued.
Reclassifications | Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates | Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU No. 2014-08"). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; and c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for properties that are classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or subsequent to January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation described above. Additionally, any gain or loss on sale of real estate that does not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be presented, on the statements of operations, below income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations.
