Presidential Realty Corporation, a real estate investment trust whose shares are traded on the NYSE AMEX LLC (PDLB) and the over the counter market (PDNLA), is engaged principally in the ownership of income-producing real estate and in the holding of notes and mortgages secured by real estate or interests in real estate.
 
Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010:
 
The Company’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.33 per share (basic) compared to a net loss of $0.35 per share (basic) for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Continuing Operations:
 
Loss from continuing operations was $0.20 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a loss of $0.36 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease in loss of $0.16 per share is primarily attributable to an $0.08 per share decrease in the Company’s share of the loss from joint ventures and a $0.04 additional gain recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2010 in connection with the settlement of several joint venture loans.
 
Discontinued Operations:
 
The total income from discontinued operations was $0.53 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $0.01 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The three months ended September 30, 2010 included a gain of $0.52 per share from the sale of the Building Industries Center property in White Plains, New York.
 
Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010:
 
The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.07 per share (basic) compared to net income of $1.20 per share (basic) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Continuing Operations:
 
Loss from continuing operations was $0.70 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to income of $0.20 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease in income of $0.90 per share is primarily attributable to a $1.18 per share gain recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 in connection with the settlement of several joint venture loans.  As previously disclosed and more fully described in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement on February 27, 2009 with its joint venture partners with respect to defaults on three of the Company’s mezzanine loans.  This decrease in income is partially offset by a $0.13 per share decrease in the Company’s share of the loss from joint ventures and a $0.04 per share additional gain recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 in connection with the settlement of several joint venture loans.

The total income from discontinued operations was $0.63 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.00 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a gain of $0.52 per share from the sale of the Building Industries Center property in White Plains, New York and a gain of $.09 per share from the sale of four cooperative apartment units in New York, New York.  The nine months ended September 30, 2009 included a gain of $.95 per share from the sale of the Crown Court property in New Haven, Connecticut.
 
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
 
As the Company has previously disclosed, it has considered various strategic alternatives in an effort to maximize shareholder value, including a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in a single transaction followed by a liquidation of the Company.  To date, no appropriate opportunity has been identified, although the Board of Directors and management continue to seek and consider potential strategic transactions.  In August, 2010, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in which, among other matters, it presented its plan of liquidation proposal and the shareholders meeting was originally scheduled for October 26, 2010.  After filing the preliminary proxy statement, the Company continued to discuss potential strategic alternatives with interested parties but, as of the date hereof, no firm proposal has been presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration.  Therefore, the Company intends to make final changes to the preliminary proxy statement and currently expects to holds it Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which the shareholders will consider approval of a plan of liquidation in the first quarter of 2011.  Notwithstanding its intention to request such shareholder approval, the Board of Directors reserves the right to consider other strategic alternatives.
