Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

  (a)  
Previous independent registered public accounting firm

  (i)  
On August 28, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of NetREIT (the “Company”), on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries, dismissed J.H. Cohn LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
  (ii)  
The reports of J.H. Cohn LLP on the Company’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, the report filed with the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as amended July 29, 2009 contained a reference to Note 7 and stated that the Company was not in compliance with certain terms of certain loan agreements.
  (iii)  
The change of independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
  (iv)  
In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through August 28, 2009, there have been no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with J.H. Cohn LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of J.H. Cohn LLP, would have caused them to make reference to such disagreements in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.
  (v)  
During the two most recent fiscal years and through August 28, 2009, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) with J.H. Cohn LLP.
  (vi)  
The Company requested that J.H. Cohn LLP furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree.  A copy of J.H. Cohn LLP’s letter, dated September 3, 2009, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
