SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our common stock. You should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and unaudited pro forma financial information, each included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Offering Circular to “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Stack-It Storage, Inc.
 
Our Company
 
Stack-it Storage, Inc. has historically been a small, public oil and gas production company operating under a predecessor name (Caprock Oil, Inc.) in Houston, Texas.  In May 2015, we sold the majority of our oil and gas properties and repaid all of our property related debt.  In July 2015, we changed our name from Caprock Oil, Inc. to Stack-it Storage, Inc. as a prelude to our transition into the self-storage business.  In August 2015, we reached a binding agreement to acquire our initial self-storage facility near Lake Houston in Harris County, Texas, for a purchase price of $1,500,000.  We closed the transaction in October 2015.  We are considering a substantial expansion of that facility to commence in 2016.
 
Once we have completed the integration of the Lake Houston storage facility, we plan to undertake a program to acquire additional self-storage facilities.  For this acquisition program, we are expecting to seek fully operational self-storage facilities with at least 30,000 net rentable square feet, located primarily in the south and southwest.  We are currently targeting the acquisition of up to thirteen such self-storage facilities, with total capacity of as much as 700,000 net rentable square feet, within the next 12 to 24 months.  We are projecting continuing growth in subsequent years through our acquisition program.  Our ability to execute on this expansion program is entirely dependent on our ability to raise sufficient financing in this offering.  If we are only able to complete the minimum offering, we will be required to raise additional financing in the future in order to execute on our expansion strategy.
 
In order to supplement our existing management team, we have entered into a contract with Donald Jones Consulting Services, LLC (“DJCS”) to manage our daily storage operations at Lake Houston as well as the other storage assets that we may acquire.  DJCS was established in 2004 and is dedicated to self-storage management.  It provides direct management support to self-storage owners and has been a top 100 management company since 2011.  DJCS currently manages 20 self-storage facilities and has two fulltime regional managers with over 18 years of combined experience.  In addition to management services at Lake Houston, DJCS assisted in the due diligence review process and will advise on the Lake Houston expansion plan.
 
On December 30, 2015, the Company sold the equity ownership of its two main oil and gas subsidiaries to affiliates of a minority shareholder for a total sales price of $50,000, thus completing its exit from the oil and gas business. The sales price was represented by a promissory note payable by the purchaser to the Company with a term of 2 years. The note accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum until maturity (if the NYMEX future oil price does not close at $80 per barrel for 20 consecutive trading prior to maturity, the note is redeemable at maturity for $5,000). One of the subsidiaries sold in this transaction was the owner of the operated oil and gas fields in Texas at the time such properties were sold to another company in May 2015. Primarily due to the extinguishment of liabilities remaining after the May 2015 sale of those properties, the Company expects to report a gain of approximately $600,000 on the December 2015 sale for the fourth quarter of 2015. The other subsidiary included in the December 2015 sale was the owner of non-operated oil and gas properties in Louisiana. 
 
In early March 2016, we entered into preliminary negotiations with the developer of a 100 acre business park located in Montgomery County, Texas, to acquire a partially developed self-storage facility within the business park for a purchase price of approximately $5,000,000. We expect to execute a non-binding agreement with the seller shortly providing for us to acquire the self-storage facility for that approximate amount, subject to the completion of our due diligence review of the acquisition target and our obtaining satisfactory debt and equity financing, as needed in order to complete the acquisition. If we are successful in that regard, we would expect to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to fund some or all of the equity portion of the financing. As of the date hereof, we have not commenced any due diligence on this potential acquisition, nor have we begun to explore whether the necessary debt portion of the financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. As such, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to complete the foregoing acquisition.
