1. ORGANIZATION

Organization. Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (formerly known as NetREIT, Inc.) (the “Company”) is incorporated in the State of Maryland and operates as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s portfolio includes the following properties:

 

Fifteen office buildings and two industrial properties (“Office/Industrial Properties”) which total approximately 1,464,000 rentable square feet,

 

Four retail shopping centers and one mixed use property (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 228,000 rentable square feet, and

 

One hundred thirty-nine Model Homes owned by four affiliated limited partnerships and one limited liability company (“Residential Properties”).

The Company operates in the following partnerships during the periods covered by these condensed consolidated financial statements:

 

The Company is the sole General Partner in two limited partnerships (NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP and NetREIT Casa Grande LP), all with ownership in real estate income producing properties. The Company refers to these entities collectively, as the “NetREIT Partnerships”. In June 2016, the Company purchased the 5.99% outside interest in NetREIT Garden Gateway LP.

 

The Company is the general and limited partner in four partnerships that purchase and lease back Model Homes from developers (“Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP”, “Dubose Model Homes Investors #202, LP”, “Dubose Model Homes Investors #203, 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 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 has control of these limited partnerships.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.
