Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
June 30, 2022
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 June 30, 2022, 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 (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 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.
Reverse Stock Split. On July 29, 2020, we amended our charter to effect a one-for-two reverse stock split of every outstanding share of our Series A Common Stock. The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.
Additional Offerings & Warrants. Our Form S-3 Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 27, 2021. Under this registration statement, we may offer and sell from time to time, in one or more series, subject to limitation that may apply (such as under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933) various securities of the Company for total gross proceeds of up to $200,000,000. On July 12, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single U.S. institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Common Stock, warrants (“Common Stock Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock and pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock. The shares of Series A Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Form S-3 Registration Statement, with the Common Stock Warrants issued in a concurrent private placement. Each share of Series A Common Stock and accompanying Series A Common Stock Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $5.00, and each share of Common Stock and accompanying Pre-Funded Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $4.99. The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full during August 2021 at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Common Stock Warrants have an exercise price of $5.50 per share, were exercisable upon issuance, and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
In connection with this additional offering, we agreed to issue the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 80,000 shares (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) of Series A Common Stock, representing 4.0% of the Series A Common Stock and shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Placement Agent Warrants were issued in August 2021, post exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $6.25 and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company registered for resale Series A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Common Stock Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued in the July 2021 offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 that was declared effective by the SEC on September 14, 2021.
The Company evaluated the accounting guidance in ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging regarding the classification of the Pre-Funded Warrant, Common Stock Warrants, and Placement Agent Warrants as equity or a liability and ultimately determined that it should be classified as permanent equity. As of June 30, 2022, none of the Common Stock Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants have been exercised.
Warrant Dividend. In January 2022, we distributed five-year listed warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to our Series A Common Stockholders. The Series A Warrants and the shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants were registered on a registration statement that was filed with the SEC and was declared effective January 21, 2022. The Series A Warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SQFTW” on January 24, 2022 and were distributed on that date to persons who held Series A Common Stock and existing outstanding warrants as of the January 14, 2022 record date, or who acquired Series A Common Stock in the market following the record date, and who continued to hold such shares at the close of trading on January 21, 2022. The Series A Warrants give the holder the right to purchase one share of common stock at $7.00 per share, for a period of five years. Should warrantholders not exercise the Series A Warrants during that holding period, the Series A Warrants will automatically convert to 1/10 of a common share at expiration, rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares. On the first day of trading SFQTW closed at $0.17 per warrant with 14,450,069 warrants in the public market.
Preferred Stock Series D. On June 15, 2021, the Company completed its secondary offering of 800,000 shares of our 9.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock") for cash consideration of $25.00 per share to a syndicate of underwriters led by The Benchmark Company, LLC, as representative, resulting in approximately $18.1 million in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 120,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments, which they exercised on June 17, 2021, resulting in approximately $2.7 million in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company. In total, the Company issued 920,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with net proceeds of approximately $20.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company and deferred offering costs. The Company has used these proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, including acquiring additional properties.
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 and may seek a revolving line of credit to provide short-term liquidity. To ensure that we can effectively execute these objectives, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of 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 six months of 2022, total approximately $3.9 million, of which $3.2 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 need to a special purpose acquisition company, or "SPAC", for which we serve as the financial sponsor (as described below in Note 2. Significant Account 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.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of our operations, and cash flows as of, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 due to real estate market flections, available mortgage lending rates and other factors, such as the effects of COVID-19 and its possible influence on our future results.
Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Presidio Property Trust and its subsidiaries, NetREIT Advisors, LLC and Dubose Advisors LLC (collectively, the “Advisors”), and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. The consolidated financial statements also include the results of the NetREIT Partnerships and the Model Home Partnerships. As used herein, references to the “Company” include references to Presidio Property Trust, its subsidiaries, and the partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of (a) Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp. ("Murphy Canyon"), which is a SPAC, for which we serve as the financial sponsor (as described below), and which is deemed to be controlled by us as a result of our 23.5% equity ownership stake, the overlap of three of our executive officers as executive officers of Murphy Canyon, and significant influence that we currently exercise over the funding and acquisition of new operations for an initial business combination ("IBC"). (see Note 2, Variable Interest Entity). All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the NetREIT Partnerships as part of consolidated net income (loss) in 2022 and 2021 and has included the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of equity since inception in February 2010. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interest will be remeasured, with the gain or loss reported in the statement of operations. Management has evaluated the noncontrolling interests and determined that they do not contain any redemption features.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance 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 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Assets and Lease Intangibles. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost, including tenant improvements and lease acquisition costs (including leasing commissions, space planning fees, and legal fees). The Company capitalizes any expenditure that replaces, improves, or otherwise extends the economic life of an asset, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties between the acquired tangible assets and liabilities (consisting of land, buildings, tenant improvements, and long-term debt) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (including the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships), in each case based on their respective fair values.
The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the property was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land, building and building improvements are based on many factors including but not limited to comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area and independent third-party valuations. In estimating the fair values of the tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities acquired, the Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre‑acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.
The value allocated to acquired lease intangibles is based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include but are not limited to the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease, the tenant’s credit quality, and other factors.
The value attributable to the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below-market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Amortization of above and below-market rents resulted in a net increase in rental income of approximately $14,000 and $27,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Amortization of above and below-market rents resulted in a net decrease in rental income of approximately$3,000 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expenses over the remaining term of the respective leases, which range from less than a year to ten years. The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount allocated to unamortized lease origination costs is determined by what the Company would have paid to a third-party to secure a new tenant reduced by the expired term of the respective lease. The amount allocated to tenant relationships is the benefit resulting from the likelihood of a tenant renewing its lease. Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $50,000 and $0.1 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Amortization expenses related to these assets was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Deferred Leasing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with successful property leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized to leasing commission expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases which generally range from one to five years. Deferred leasing costs consist of third-party leasing commissions. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the tenants and economic and market conditions change. If management determines the estimated remaining life of the respective lease has changed, the amortization period is adjusted. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had approximately $21.1 million and $14.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively, of which approximately $4.3 million and $4.7 million represented restricted cash, respectively. The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include money market funds. Cash balances in individual banks may exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). No losses have been experienced related to such accounts. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $13.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in deposits in financial institutions that exceeded the federally insurable limits. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow for Company lenders for properties held as collateral by the lenders. The funds in escrow are for payment of property taxes, insurance, leasing costs and capital expenditures.
Real Estate Held for Sale. Real estate held for sale during the current period is classified as “real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Mortgage notes payable related to the real estate held for sale during the current period are classified as “mortgage notes payable related to real estate held for sale, net” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, one commercial property met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and five model homes were classified as held for sale.
Deferred Offering Costs. Deferred offering costs represent legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our offerings. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have incurred approximately $117,000 and $135,000, at the end of each period. These costs are related to our offering of common and preferred stock in connection with the sponsorship, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Murphy Canyon Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), of a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) initial public offering as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, these costs are related to the preparation of a registration statement. These costs were deferred and recorded as a long-term asset at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Impairments of Real Estate Assets. We regularly review for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Impairment is recognized on a property held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than the carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. The calculation of both discounted and undiscounted cash flows requires management to make estimates of future cash flows including but not limited to revenues, operating expenses, required maintenance and development expenditures, market conditions, demand for space by tenants and rental rates over long periods. Since our properties typically have a long life, the assumptions used to estimate the future recoverability of carrying value requires significant management judgment. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods.
Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Although our strategy is to hold our properties over the long-term, if our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to fair value and such loss could be material.
Fair Value Measurements. Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The guidance requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:
| • | Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| • | Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
When available, we utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement.
Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third-party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third-party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our marketable securities presented on the balance sheet were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices and totaled approximately $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, with a cost basis of approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Earnings per share (“EPS”). The EPS on Common stock has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted stock, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per share of common stock. In accordance with the two-class method, earnings per share have been computed by dividing the net income less net income attributable to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.
Dilutive common stock equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common stock equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common stock shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. Securities that are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common stock, because their inclusion would have been antidilutive, are:

Variable Interest Entity. We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. Our determination of whether an entity in which we hold a direct or indirect variable interest is a VIE is based on several factors, including whether we participated in the design of the entity and the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, and then a quantitative analysis, if necessary.
We analyze any investments in VIEs to determine if we are the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate our direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. A reporting entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is primarily a qualitative approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment.
We consider a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct operating decisions and activities. In addition, we consider the rights of other investors to participate in those decisions. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time we become involved with a variable interest entity and reconsider that conclusion continually. We consolidate any VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary.
The Company is involved in the formation of an entity considered to be Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The Company evaluates the consolidation of this entity as required pursuant to ASC Topic 810 relating to the consolidation of such VIE. The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties have the power to direct activities of the VIE and are exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards of the entity.
Following the completion of the Murphy Canyon IPO, we determined that Murphy Canyon is a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") in which we have a variable interest because we participated in its formation and design, manage the significant activities, and Murphy Canyon does not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We have also determined that Murphy Canyon's public stockholders do not have substantive rights, and their equity interest constitutes temporary equity, outside of permanent equity, in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A. As such, we have concluded that we are currently the primary beneficiary of Murphy Canyon as a VIE, as we have the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity, as well as the power to direct a majority of the activities that significantly impact Murphy Canyon's economic performance. Since we are the primary beneficiary, Murphy Canyon is consolidated into our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.
Shares Subject to Possible Redemption. The Company accounts for common stock issued by the SPAC, (which is consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements), that is subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Under ASC 480, shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable shares of common stock (including shares of common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as shareholders’ equity.
All of the Public Shares of Murphy Canyon SPAC (Class A Common Shares) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, the Public Shares are presented as temporary equity, outside the shareholder's equity section of the Company's June 30, 2022 balance sheet.
Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants which were classified as permanent equity as described below), the proceeds and initial carrying value of Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was allocated in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Murphy Canyon Class A common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. In addition, because it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, we have the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. We have elected to recognize the accretion resulting from changes in redemption value immediately during the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.
Warrant Instruments SPAC. Murphy Canyon accounts for warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 480 and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Under ASC 815-40 and ASC 840 warrants that meet the criteria for equity treatment are recorded in stockholder’s equity. The warrants are subject to re-evaluation of the proper classification and accounting treatment at each reporting period. If the warrants no longer meet the criteria for equity treatment, they will be recorded as a liability and remeasured each period with changes recorded in the statement of operations. The warrants meet the criteria for classification as equity because they are not exercisable until after the SPAC business combination is completed, at which point the common shares are no longer redeemable and because they are indexed to Murphy Canyon's common stock and meet the other criteria for equity classification. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.
Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, amendedin February 2020 with ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. While ASU 2016-13 was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, the issuance of ASU 2020-02 has allowed for the delay in adoption for certain smaller public companies and is now effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Retrospective adjustments shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and does not believe it will have a material impact on the financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this guidance with no impact on our financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This ASU clarifies how the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions is determined. Prior to its issuance, there was diversity in practice as to whether the effects of a contractual restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security should be considered in measuring the security’s fair value. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual sale restriction should not be considered in measuring fair value. It also requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. ASU 2022-03 takes effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Periodically, the Company
may sell an option in the marketable securities it holds to unrelated
third parties for the right to purchase certain securities held within its investment portfolios (“covered call options”). These option transactions are designed primarily to increase the total return associated with holding the related securities as earning assets by using fee income generated from these options. These transactions are
not designated as hedging relationships pursuant to accounting guidance ASC
815 and, accordingly, changes in fair values of these contracts, are reported in other income (expense). There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction
not to achieve its objectives. A transaction in options or securities
may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events. When we write a covered call option, we forgo, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but retain the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The writer of an option has
no control over the time when it
may be required to fulfill its obligation before the sold option expires, and once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it must deliver the underlying security in exchange for the strike price.
As of June 30, 2022, we owned common shares of 13 different publicly traded REITs and an immaterial amount of written covered call options in six of those same REITs. The gross fair market value on our publicly traded REIT securities was $989,654, with written covered call options totaling $5,453. As of June 30, 2022, the net fair value of our publicly traded REIT securities was $984,201 based on the June 30, 2022 closing prices. As of December 31, 2021, we owned common shares of 19 different publicly traded REITs and an immaterial amount of covered call options in ten of those same REITs. The gross fair market value on our publicly traded REIT securities was $1,529,185, with covered call options totaling $14,702. As of December 31, 2021, the net fair value of our publicly traded REIT securities was $1,514,483 based on the December 31, 2021 closing prices.

8. NOTES PAYABLE
On April 22, 2020, the Company received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan of $10,000 from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to provide economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. This loan advance is not required to be repaid, has no stipulations on use, and has been recorded as fees and other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during fiscal 2020. On August 17, 2020, we received an additional Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") of $150,000, for which principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months from the date of issuance, and interest accrues at 3.75% per year. The loan matures on August 17, 2050. We have used the funds for general corporate purposes to alleviate economic injury caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which economic injury included abating or deferring rent to certain tenants (primarily retail tenants).
Since September 2021, we have issued five promissory notes to our majority owned subsidiary Dubose Model Home Investors 202 LP and Dubose Model Home Investors 204 LP for the refinancing of five model home properties in Texas and Wisconsin, for approximately $1.1 million with an interest rate of 3.0% per annum and maturity dates in November 2022 and December 2022. These notes payable and note receivable, including interest expense and interest income related to this promissory note, are eliminated through consolidation on our financial statements.
On August 17, 2021, we issued a promissory note to our majority owned subsidiary NetREIT Highland for the acquisition of the Mandolin property in Houston, Texas, for $1.56 million with an interest rate of 4.0% per annum and a maturity date of August 17, 2022. This note payable and note receivable, including interest expense and interest income related to this promissory note, were eliminated through consolidation on our financial statements. During April 2022, this loan was refinanced with a loan from a third-party bank totaling $3.7 million, with the proceeds being used to pay back our $1.56 million promissory note.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
Litigation. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits or legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s properties are presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is there any material threatened litigation.
Environmental Matters. The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Further, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that the Company believes would require additional disclosure or recording of a loss contingency.
Financial Markets. The Company monitors concerns over economic recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rate increases, policy priorities of the U.S. presidential administration, trade wars, labor shortages, or inflation may contribute to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and markets. Additionally, concern over geopolitical issues may also contribute to prolonged market volatility and instability. For example, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries. The U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions have imposed severe economic sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests, have removed Russia from the SWIFT system, and have threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is unknown. We have not currently experienced a direct material impact to our Company or operations; however, we will continue to monitor the financial markets for events that could impact our commercial real estate properties.
Sponsorship of Special Purpose Acquisition Company. On January 7, 2022, we announced our sponsorship, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Murphy Canyon Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), of a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) initial public offering. The SPAC raised $132,250,000 in capital investment to acquire businesses in the real estate industry, including construction, homebuilding, real estate owners and operators, arrangers of financing, insurance, and other services for real estate, and adjacent businesses and technologies targeting the real estate space, which we may refer to as “Proptech” businesses. We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, owned approximately 23.5% of the issued and outstanding stock in the entity upon the initial public offering being declared effective and consummated (excluding the private placement units described below), and that following the completion of its initial business combination that the SPAC will operate as a separately managed, publicly traded entity. The SPAC offered 132,250,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant. The warrants were evaluated using the guidance in ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" and we concluded that the warrants are indexed to Murphy Canyon's common stock and meets the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity.
The SPAC's ability to complete a business combination may be extended in additional increments of three months up to a total of six (6) additional months from the closing date of the offering, subject to the payment into the Trust Account by the Sponsor (or its designees or affiliates) of the sum of $1,322,500, representing the sum of $0.10 per share of Common Stock sold to Public Stockholders, and which extension payments, if any, shall be added to the Trust Account. The Company has committed to provide additional funds if needed to make such a deposit for the extension.
The Murphy Canyon IPO, of 13,225,000 units (“Units”) and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the (“Public Shares”), closed on February 7, 2022, raising gross proceeds for Murphy Canyon of $132,250,000, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. In connection with the IPO, we purchased, through the Sponsor, 754,000 placement units (the “placement units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,540,000. The Sponsor has agreed to transfer an aggregate of 45,000 placement units (15,000 each) to each of Murphy Canyon’s independent directors. These proceeds were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Murphy Canyon public shareholders and are included in Investments held in Trust in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022. In connection with the initial public offering, Murphy Canyon incurred $7,738,161 in issuance costs, including $2,645,000 of underwriting discounts and commission, $4,628,750 of deferred underwriting fees and $464,411 of other offering costs. These costs were allocated to temporary and permanent equity and offset against the proceeds.
Immediately following the IPO, Murphy Canyon began to evaluate acquisition candidates in the real estate industry, including construction, homebuilding, real estate owners and operators, arrangers of financing, insurance, and other services for real estate, and adjacent businesses and technologies targeting the real estate space with an aggregate combined enterprise value of approximately $300 million to $1.2 billion. Murphy Canyon’s goal is to complete its initial business combination (“IBC”) within one year of its IPO. We expect Murphy Canyon to operate as a separately managed, publicly traded entity following the completion of the IBC, or “De-SPAC”.
10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of the Preferred Stock, to determine the designation of any such series, and to set the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each series of Preferred Stock.
On June 15, 2021, the Company completed its secondary offering of 800,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock for cash consideration of $25.00 per share to a syndicate of underwriters led by Benchmark, as representative, resulting in approximately $18.1 million in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 120,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments, which they exercised on June 17, 2021, resulting in approximately $2.7 million in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company. In total, the Company issued 920,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with net proceeds of approximately $20.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company and deferred offering costs. The Series D Preferred Stock is listed and trading on The Nasdaq Capital market under the symbol SQFTP. The Company has used these proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, including acquiring additional properties. Below are some of the key terms of the Series D Preferred Stock:
Dividends:
Holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 9.375% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.34375 per annum per share). Dividends will be payable monthly on the 15th day of each month (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), provided that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a business day, then the dividend that would otherwise have been payable on that Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding business day without adjustment in the amount of the dividend.
Voting Rights:
Holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights. However, if the Company does not pay dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock for eighteen or more monthly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive), the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with the holders of all other classes or series of the Company’s preferred stock it may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Series D Preferred Stock in the election referred to below) will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until the Company pays, or declares and sets apart funds for the payment of, all dividends that it owes on the Series D Preferred Stock, subject to certain limitations.
In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock the Company may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) is required at any time for the Company to (i) authorize or issue any class or series of its stock ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (ii) to amend any provision of the Company charter so as to materially and adversely affect any rights of the Series D Preferred Stock or to take certain other actions.
Liquidation Preference:
In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets the Company has legally available for distribution to its stockholders, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of its stock the Company may issue ranking senior to the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of the Company’s common stock or any other class or series of the Company’s stock it may issue that ranks junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights.
In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Company’s available assets are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of the Company’s stock that it issues ranking on parity with the Series D Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Redemption:
Commencing on or after June 15, 2026, the Company may redeem, at its option, the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at a cash redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including the redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2026, upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the Company may redeem, at its option, the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or part, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including the redemption date. The Series D Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, will not be subject to any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption, and will not be convertible into or exchangeable for any of our other securities.
In accordance with the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series D monthly dividend has been approved by the Board of Directors through June 2022 in the amount of $0.19531 per share payable on the 15th of every month to stockholders of record of Series D Preferred Stock as of the last day of the prior month. Total dividends paid to Series D Preferred stockholders during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Common Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock, 1,000 shares of Series B Common Stock, and 9,000,000 shares of Series C Common Stock (collectively, the "Common Stock") each with $0.01 par value per share. Each class of Common Stock has identical rights, preferences, terms, and conditions except that the holders of Series B Common Stock are not entitled to receive any portion of Company assets in the event of the Company's liquidation. No shares of Series B or Series C Common Stock have been issued. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote. Shares of our Common Stock are not subject to redemption and do not have any preference, conversion, exchange, or preemptive rights. The Company’s charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of the Common Stock that prevents one person from owning more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
On July 12, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single U.S. institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Common Stock, Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Stock Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $5.00, and each share of Common Stock and accompanying Pre-Funded Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $4.99. The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full during August 2021 at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Common Stock Warrants have an exercise price of $5.50 per share, were exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
In connection with this additional offering, we agreed to issue the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 80,000 shares of Series A Common Stock, representing 4.0% of the Series A Common Stock and shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Placement Agent Warrants were issued in August 2021, post exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $6.25 and will expire five years from the date of issuance.
The Company evaluated the accounting guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815 regarding the classification of the Pre-Funded Warrant, Common Stock Warrants, and Placement Agent Warrants as equity or a liability and ultimately determined that it should be classified as permanent equity. As of June 30, 2022, none of the Common Stock Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants have been exercised.
Stock Repurchase Program. On September 17, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10 million of outstanding shares of our Series A Common Stock. During September 2021, the Company was able to purchase 18,133 shares at an average price of $3.73692 per share, plus commission of $0.035 per share, for a total cost of $68,396. During December 2021, the Company was able to purchase 11,588 shares at an average price of $3.6097 per share, plus commission of $0.035 per share, for a total cost of $42,235. No repurchases were made during the first quarter of 2022, and during the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company was able to purchase 10,411 shares at an average price of $2.9698 per share, including transaction costs, for a total cost of $30,919. These shares will be treated as authorized and unissued in accordance with Maryland law and shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity at cost. While we will continue to pursue value creating investments, the Board believes there is significant embedded value in our assets that is yet to be realized by the market. Therefore, returning capital to stockholders through a repurchase program is an attractive use of capital currently.
Cash Dividends on Common Stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of approximately $1.3 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company declared and paid approximately $1.0 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company intends to continue to pay dividends to our common stockholders on a quarterly basis, and on a monthly basis to holders of our Series D Preferred Stock going forward, but there can be no guarantee the Board of Directors will approve any future dividends. The following is a summary of distributions declared per share of our Series A Common Stock and for our Series D Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Warrant Dividend. In January 2022, we distributed the Series A Warrants to our Series A Common Stockholders. The Series A Warrants and the shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants were registered on a registration statement that was filed with the SEC and was declared effective January 21, 2022. The Series A Warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SQFTW” on January 24, 2022 and were distributed on that date to persons who held shares of common stock and existing outstanding warrants as of the January 14, 2022 record date, or who acquired shares of Series A Common Stock in the market following the record date, and who continued to hold such shares at the close of trading on January 21, 2022. The Series A Warrants give the holder the right to purchase one share of Series A Common Stock at $7.00 per share, for a period of five years. Should warrantholders not exercise the Series A Warrants during that holding period, the Series A Warrants will automatically convert to 1/10 of a share of Series A Common Stock at expiration, rounded down to the nearest number of whole shares.
Partnership Interests. Through the Company, its subsidiaries, and its partnerships, we own 12 commercial properties in fee interest, two of which we own partial interests in through our holdings in various affiliates in which we serve as general partner, member and/or manager. Each of the limited partnerships is referred to as a “DownREIT.” In each DownREIT, we have the right, through put and call options, to require our co-investors to exchange their interests for shares of our Common Stock at a stated price after a defined period (generally five years from the date they first invested in the entity’s real property), the occurrence of a specified event or a combination thereof. The Company is a limited partner in five partnerships and sole stockholder in one corporation, which entities purchase and leaseback model homes from homebuilders.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) that allowed stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company registered 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the DRIP. The purchase price per share used in the past was 95% of the price the Company sold its shares, or $19.00 per share. No sales commission or dealer manager fees were paid on shares sold through the DRIP. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the DRIP at any time. Any such amendment, suspension or termination is effective upon a designated dividend record date and notice of such amendment, suspension or termination is sent to all participants at least thirty (30) days prior to such record date. The DRIP became effective on January 23, 2012, was suspended on December 7, 2018 and adopted on October 6, 2020 in connection with our IPO, and updated to reflect a change in transfer agent and registrar. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $17.4 million or approximately 917,074 shares of Common Stock have been issued under the DRIP. No shares were issued under the DRIP since it was suspended in 2018.
11. SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company maintains a restricted stock incentive plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining officers, employees, and non-employee board members. Share awards generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-to-ten-year period from date of issuance. Non-vested shares have voting rights and are eligible for any dividends paid to common shares. The Company recognized compensation cost for these fixed awards over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, using the straight-line method. Prior to our IPO, the value of non-vested shares was calculated based on the offering price of the shares in the most recent private placement offering of $20.00, adjusted for stock dividends since granted and assumed selling costs, which management believed approximated fair market value as of the date of grant. Upon our IPO, the value of non-vested shares granted is generally calculated based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant.
During our Annual Stockholders meeting, held on May 26, 2022, the Company's 2017 Incentive Award Plan was amended to increase the available shares for issuance from 1.1 million to 2.5 million.
A summary of the activity for the Company’s restricted stock was as follows:
Outstanding shares: | | Common Shares | |
| | | | |
Balance at December 31, 2021 | | | 295,471 | |
Granted | | | 389,823 | |
Forfeited | | | (11,780 | ) |
Vested | | | (95,947 | ) |
Balance at June 30, 2022 | | | 577,567 | |
The non-vested restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022 will vest over the next one to six years.
Share-based compensation expense was approximately $0.6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022, future unrecognized stock compensation related to unvested shares totaled approximately $2.6 million.
12. SEGMENTS
The Company’s reportable segments consist of three types of real estate properties for which the Company’s decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Office/Industrial Properties, Model Home Properties and Retail Properties. The Company also has certain corporate-level activities including accounting, finance, legal administration, and management information systems which are not considered separate operating segments. There is no material inter-segment activity.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI for its segments as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, asset management fees, impairments and provision for bad debt). NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non-property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, real estate acquisition fees and expenses and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company uses NOI to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate investments and to make decisions regarding allocation of resources.
The following tables compare the Company’s segment activity to its results of operations and financial position as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021:

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements
