1. ORGANIZATION

Organization. Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) is a self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). 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.” The Company’s portfolio includes the following properties:

 

Thirteen office buildings and one industrial property (“Office/Industrial Properties”) which total approximately 1,273,788 rentable square feet;

 

Four retail shopping centers (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 129,254 rentable square feet; and

 

129 model home residential properties (“Model Homes”) leased back to homebuilders owned through four affiliated limited partnerships and one wholly-owned corporation (“Model Home 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 is the general and limited partner in five limited partnerships that purchase Model Homes and lease them back to homebuilders (“Dubose Model Home Investors #202, LP”, “Dubose Model Homes Investors #203, LP”, “Dubose Model Homes Investors #204, LP”, “Dubose Model Homes Investors #205, 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 (“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.

 

Liquidity. The Company’s 16,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable by the Company on August 1, 2019 (“Mandatory Redemption Date”) for $16.0 million in cash. It is management’s intent to obtain additional borrowings under secured or unsecured indebtedness, sell properties, or reduce the rate of distributions to the stockholders in order to obtain proceeds sufficient to settle this obligation. Under the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock financing, if there is an event of default, the investor may exercise various remedies, including a change of control via replacing a majority of the Board of Directors. If we fail to comply with the payment obligations, then we may trigger an event of default.  The terms of our Series B Preferred Stock financing provide that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the investor will have the right to take the unilateral action to, or cause the Company to, among other things:

 

 

Replace property managers and leasing agents;

 

Following 180 days after the Mandatory Redemption Date, sell any property of the Company, except as otherwise required under applicable law and subject to senior liens;

 

Implement all major decisions listed above and in the Investor Agreement, except as otherwise required under applicable law;

 

Refinance, repay or prepay any senior loans of the Company;

 

Cure any default under any senior loans of the Company; and

 

Elect six individuals to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

The ability of our investor to replace a majority of our board of directors upon an event of default would give control of the Company to the investor.  Such a change of control, or the exercise of other rights upon an event of default, could result in a material adverse effect on us, including our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

For the nine months remaining in 2019 and the year ending December 31, 2020, we have $6.3 million and $12.3 million of mortgage notes payable maturing, respectively, related to the model home properties. We plan to refinance a significant portion of the mortgage notes payable or sell the model home properties to repay the mortgage notes payable.
