1. ORGANIZATION

 

Organization. Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), with holdings 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 12 commercial properties in fee interest, two of which we own as a partial interest in various affiliates, in which we serve as general partner, member and/or manager, and a special purpose acquisition company as noted below.

 

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 limited partner in two limited partnerships (NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP and NetREIT Casa Grande LP), both of which, at  March 31, 2023, had ownership interests in an entity that owns income producing real estate.  The Company refers to these entities collectively as the "NetREIT Partnerships".
   
 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 Home Investors #203, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #204, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #205, LP, and Dubose Model Home Investors #206, 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 of 1986, as amended (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 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 certain of 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 tax jurisdictions.

 

Liquidity. The Company's anticipated future sources of liquidity may include existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, refinancing of existing mortgages, future real estate sales, new borrowings, and the sale of equity or debt securities.  Future capital needs include paying down existing borrowings, maintaining our existing properties, funding tenant improvements, paying lease commissions (to the extent they are not covered by lender-held reserve deposits), and the payment of dividends to our stockholders. The Company is also seeking investments that are likely to produce income and achieve long-term gains in order to pay dividends to our stockholders. To ensure that we can effectively execute these objectives, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of liquidity.  If necessary the Company could seek a revolving line of credit to provide short-term liquidity.

 

Short-term liquidity needs include paying our current operating costs, satisfying the debt service requirements of existing mortgages, completing tenant improvements, paying leasing commissions, and funding dividends to stockholders.  Future principal payments due on mortgage notes payables, during the last three months of 2023, total approximately $4.4 million, of which $3.3 million is related to model home properties.  Management expects certain model home properties can be sold, and that the underlying mortgage notes will be paid off with sales proceeds while other mortgage notes can be refinanced, as the Company has historically been able to do in the past.  Additional principal payments will be made with cash flows from ongoing operations.  The mortgage note payable for 300 N.P. was an amortizing loan with a balloon payment of $2.2 million due at maturity, on June 11, 2022.  The Company paid this note in full on May 11, 2022 with available cash on hand.  Additionally, the Company has committed to provide additional funds, or obtain financing, if needed to a special purpose acquisition company, or "SPAC", for which we serve as the financial sponsor (as described below in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies).

 

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 and/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.
