ITEM I.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


 

 

(a)

General

Presidential Realty Corporation is a Delaware corporation organized in 1983 to succeed to the business of a company of the same name which was organized in 1961 to succeed to the business of a closely held real estate business founded in 1911. The terms “Presidential” or the “Company” refer to the present Presidential Realty Corporation or its predecessor company of the same name and to any subsidiaries. Since 1982 the Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for Federal and State income tax purposes. See Qualification as a REIT. The Company invests in joint ventures that own shopping malls, owns real estate and makes loans secured by interests in real estate.

3



Presidential self-manages the properties that it owns and the property owned by PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”) in which the Company is the general partner and has a 33% partnership interest. At December 31, 2005, the Company employs 27 people, of which 15 are employed at the Company’s home office and 12 are employed at the individual property sites. The Company does not manage the shopping mall properties owned by the joint ventures in which it has invested. Those properties are managed by an affiliate of the Company’s partner in the joint ventures.

The Company’s principal assets fall into the following categories:

(i) Joint ventures. Approximately 51% of the Company’s assets consists of investments in and advances to joint ventures. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method. At December 31, 2005, investments in and advances to joint ventures were $23,291,133. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(ii) Notes receivable. Approximately 22% of the Company’s assets consists of notes receivable, which are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005 as “Mortgage portfolio: sold properties and other - net”. The $10,647,847 aggregate principal amount of these notes has been reduced by $758,388 of discounts (which reflect the difference between the stated interest rates on the notes and the market interest rates at the time the notes were accepted). See Notes 1-B, 1-C, 1-D and 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the net carrying value of the Company’s “Mortgage portfolio: sold properties and other” was $9,889,459 at December 31, 2005.

All of the loans included in this category of assets were current at December 31, 2005.

Notes reflected under “Mortgage portfolio: sold properties and other - net” consist of notes received from sales of real properties previously owned by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $4,565,000, loans originated by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $82,847 that relate to sold cooperative apartments.

4



(iii) Equity interests in rental properties. Approximately 4% of the Company’s assets are equity interests in rental properties. These properties have an historical cost of $6,124,665, less accumulated depreciation of $4,225,223, resulting in a net carrying value of $1,899,442 at December 31, 2005. See Description of Property below.

(iv) Assets related to discontinued operations. Approximately 6% of the Company’s assets are classified as “Assets related to discontinued operations”. This category of assets relates to one operating property, Cambridge Green Apartments in Council Bluffs, Iowa, that is being held for sale. The Company estimates that the sale of this property will close within one year. These assets are carried at the lower of cost (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization) or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are discontinued when the property is classified as a discontinued operation. At December 31, 2005, assets related to discontinued operations were $2,850,245. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

(v) Other investments. Approximately 3% of the Company’s assets are other investments. These investments are with Broadway Real Estate Partners LLC, a private real estate investment and management firm, which invests in high quality office properties in select markets nationwide. At December 31, 2005, other investments were $1,495,000. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and Note 6 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(vi) Notes receivable-related parties. A small portion of the Company’s assets consists of notes receivable in the aggregate principal amount of $271,073 resulting from loans made to Ivy Properties, Ltd. (“Ivy”) in connection with the conversion of apartment buildings to cooperative ownership or the sale in 1981 by the Company to Ivy of an apartment project. These loans are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005 as “Mortgage portfolio: related parties - net”. The principal amounts of these notes have been reduced by discounts and valuation reserves of $61,786 and these notes have a net carrying value at December 31, 2005 of $209,287. Management believes that it holds sufficient collateral to protect its interests in these outstanding loans to Ivy. At December 31, 2005, all of the loans due from related parties were current. See Relationship with Ivy Properties, Ltd. and Notes 3 and 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

5



The Company’s investments in and advances to joint ventures in the amount of $23,291,133 were made to joint ventures controlled by affiliates of David Lichtenstein. At December 31, 2005, in addition to Presidential’s investments in these joint ventures with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein, Presidential has three loans that are due from entities that are controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $9,875,000 with a net carrying value of $9,122,683. Some, but not all, of these loans are guaranteed in whole or in part by Mr. Lichtenstein and all of such loans are in good standing. While the Company believes that all of these loans are adequately secured, a default on some or all of these loans could have a material adverse effect on Presidential’s business and operating results. The $32,413,816 net carrying value of investments in and advances to joint ventures with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein and loans outstanding to entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein constitute 71% of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2005. In 2005, the Company purchased, and is the beneficiary of, a $20,000,000 insurance policy on Mr. Lichtenstein’s life.

Subsequent to year end, the Company received a partial repayment on one of the loans outstanding to entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein. The Company received a partial repayment of $2,425,006 on its $4,500,000 loan secured by ownership interests in entities owning nine apartment properties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and Note 25 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Presidential first met Mr. Lichtenstein, the principal owner of The Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), in 1999 when it sold him its first and second mortgage notes secured by the Fairfield Towers apartment property in Brooklyn, New York. In connection with that transaction, Mr. Lichtenstein assumed the obligation to repay a $4,000,000 note that is still held by the Company. Over the next four years, the Company made four new loans to Mr. Lichtenstein secured by various apartment properties. As Mr. Lichtenstein expanded his business into shopping center properties with the acquisition in 2003 of Prime Retail, Inc., the owner of 36 outlet shopping malls throughout the United States, Presidential saw an opportunity to participate in this new investment area, and in 2004 and 2005 made the joint venture investments referenced above. Presidential may make additional loans to or investments with Mr. Lichtenstein in the future, although there are no commitments to do so at the present time. Lightstone currently owns and manages a diverse portfolio of approximately 20,000 apartment units and

6



27,000,000 square feet of office, industrial and commercial space in twenty-eight states and Puerto Rico.

Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a REIT that meets certain requirements is not subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders, if at least 90% of its “real estate investment trust taxable income” (exclusive of capital gains) is so distributed. Since January 1, 1982, the Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT and has paid regular quarterly cash distributions. Total dividends paid by the Company in 2005 were $.64 per share.

While the Company intends to operate in such a manner as to enable it to be taxed as a REIT, and to pay dividends in an amount sufficient to maintain REIT status, no assurance can be given that the Company will, in fact, continue to be taxed as a REIT, that distributions will be maintained at the current rate or that the Company will have cash available to pay sufficient dividends in order to maintain REIT status. See Qualification as a REIT and Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

 

(b)

Investment Strategies

The Company’s current general investment strategy is to make investments in real property that offer attractive current yields with, in some cases, potential for capital appreciation. The Company’s investment policy is not contained in or subject to restrictions included in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, and there are no limits in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws on the percentage of assets that it may invest in any one type of asset or the percentage of securities of any one issuer that it may acquire. The investment policy may, therefore, be changed by the Board of Directors of the Company without the concurrence of the holders of its outstanding stock. However, to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must restrict its activities to those permitted under the Code. See Qualification as a REIT.

The Company’s current primary investment strategies are as follows:

 

 

 

 

(i)

Loans and Investments in Joint Ventures


 

 

 

The Company has in the last four years utilized a substantial portion of its funds available for investment to make loans secured by interests in real property. These loans have been

7



 

 

 

“mezzanine” type loans, which are secured by subordinate security interests in real property or by ownership interests in entities that own real property. These loans carry interest rates in excess of rates usually obtainable on first priority loans. See notes to the Mortgage Portfolio: Notes Receivable-Sold Properties and Other table under Loans and Investments. In some cases, the Company has, in connection with a loan, obtained an ownership interest in the borrowing entity and, as a result, is entitled to share in the earnings of the borrower. These loans are reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as “Investments in and advances to joint ventures”. The Company expects to make additional loans of this type if the opportunity to do so arises. To date, all of these loans have been made to entities controlled by David Lichtenstein. See Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures.

 

 

 

The Company has over the years held long term mortgage notes which provide for balloon principal payments at varying times. The Company may in appropriate circumstances agree to extend and modify these notes. See the table set forth below under Loans and Investments. It should be noted that there can be no assurance that the balloon principal payments due in accordance with the purchase money notes will actually be made when due.

 

 

 

The capital gains from sales of real properties previously owned by the Company are recognized for income tax purposes on the installment method as principal payments are received. To the extent that any such gain is recognized by Presidential, or to the extent that Presidential incurs a capital gain from the sale of a property, it may, as a REIT, either (i) elect to retain such gain, in which event it will be required to pay Federal and State income tax on such gain, (ii) distribute all or a portion of such gain to shareholders, in which event Presidential will not be required to pay taxes on the gain to the extent that it is distributed to shareholders or (iii) elect to retain such gain and designate it as a retained capital gain dividend, in which event the Company would pay the Federal tax on such gain, the shareholders would be taxed on their share of the undistributed long-term capital gain and the shareholders would receive a tax credit for their share of the Federal tax that the Company paid and increase the tax basis of their stock for the difference between the long-term capital gain and the tax credit. To the extent that Presidential retains any principal payments on notes or proceeds of sale, the proceeds, after payment of any taxes, will be available for

8



 

 

 

investment. Presidential has not adopted a specific policy with respect to the distribution or retention of capital gains, and its decision as to any such gain will be made in connection with all of the circumstances existing at the time the gain is recognized. The Company did not designate any capital gain in 2005 as a retained capital gain dividend.


 

 

 

 

(ii)

Equity Properties


 

 

 

For many years the Company’s investment policy was focused on acquiring equity interests in income producing real estate, principally moderate income apartment properties located in the eastern United States. However, in recent years the Company has not found any such investments that offer rates of return satisfactory to the Company or otherwise meet the Company’s investment criteria. As described in subparagraph (i) above, in recent years the Company has focused its investment activities in making loans secured by interests in real property or by ownership interests in entities that own real property; and in some instances the Company has obtained ownership interests in the properties in connection with its loans. While the Company’s present intention is to continue to seek opportunities to make loans as described above, the Company may in the future acquire equity interests in real estate, including residential properties and commercial properties such as office buildings, shopping centers and light industrial properties.

 

 

 

While it has been Presidential’s policy to acquire properties for long term investment, it has from time to time sold its equity interests in such properties and may do so in the future. Over the past four years, the Company has sold or otherwise disposed of six of its apartment properties and is now planning to sell one additional apartment property. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation – Discontinued Operations.


 

 

 

 

(iii)

Funding of Investments

 

 

 

 

In the past, the Company has obtained funds to make loans and investments from excess cash from operations or capital transactions, loans from financial institutions secured by specific real property or from general corporate borrowings. Such loans have in the past been, and may in the future be, secured by real property and provide for recourse to Presidential. However, funds may not be readily available from

9



 

 

 

these sources and such unavailability may limit the Company’s ability to make new investments. In addition, the Company may face competition for investment properties from other potential purchasers with greater financial resources. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation – Liquidity and Capital Resources.


 

 

(c)

Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures

During 2004 and 2005, the Company made investments in and loans to joint ventures and received ownership interests in these joint ventures. The Company accounts for these investments and loans under the equity method because it exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. These investments are recorded at cost, as investments in and advances to joint ventures, and adjusted for the Company’s share of each venture’s income or loss and increased for cash contributions and decreased for distributions received. Real estate held by such entities is regularly reviewed for impairment, and would be written down to its estimated fair value if impairment were determined to exist. In 2005, no impairments were recorded for this real estate.

The Company purchased the Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia for $27,000,000 in September, 2004. The Company utilized the $12,365,000 net cash proceeds from the sale of its Continental Gardens property in Miami, Florida and the proceeds of a first mortgage loan in the amount of $14,635,000 to acquire this property. Subsequent to closing, the Company obtained an additional advance of $8,326,590 under the first mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan from Lightstone in the amount of $2,600,000, which is secured by a pledge of ownership interests in the entity that owns the Martinsburg Mall. The loan matures on September 27, 2014, and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum. Lightstone Member LLC (“Lightstone I”) manages the property and David Lichtenstein received a 71% ownership interest in the entity that owns the property, leaving the Company with a 29% ownership interest.

In September, 2004, the Company made a $8,600,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone I in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone I of four shopping malls, namely the Shenango Valley Mall in Hermitage, Pennsylvania; the West Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania; the Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland, Tennessee and the Mount Berry Square Mall in Rome, Georgia (the “Four Malls”). The loan is secured by the ownership interests in the entities that own the Four Malls and the Company received a 29% ownership interest in these entities. The loan matures on September 27, 2014 and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum.

10



In December, 2004, the Company made a $7,500,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone Member II LLC (“Lightstone II”) in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone II of the Brazos Outlets Center Mall in Lake Jackson, Texas and the Shawnee Mall in Shawnee, Oklahoma (the “Shawnee/Brazos Malls”). The loan is secured by the ownership interests in the entities that own the Shawnee/Brazos Malls and the Company received a 29% ownership interest in these entities. The loan matures on December 23, 2014 and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum.

In July, 2005, the Company made a $9,500,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone Member III LLC (“Lightstone III”) in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone III of the Macon Mall in Macon, Georgia and the Burlington Mall in Burlington, North Carolina (the “Macon/Burlington Malls”). The loan is secured by the ownership interests in the entities that own the Macon/Burlington Malls and the Company received a 29% ownership interest in these entities. The loan matures on June 30, 2015 and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum.

(a)

These properties collateralize both the $3,875,000 loan and the $1,500,000 loan.

 

 

(b)

These loans were made to various companies that are controlled by David Lichtenstein. Some, but not all, of these loans are guaranteed in whole or in part by Mr. Lichtenstein.

 

 

(c)

Notes received from the sales of cooperative apartments. Interest rates and maturity dates vary in accordance with the terms of each individual note.

13



 

 

(1)

This note, which was received by the Company in connection with the sale of the Fairfield Towers mortgages in 1999, is collateralized by security interests in the ownership interests in entities that own various properties located in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The discount on this note was computed at a rate of 18%.

 

 

 

(2)

In February, 2003, the Company made a $1,500,000 loan collateralized by ownership interests in Reisterstown Square Associates, LLC, which owns Reisterstown Apartments in Baltimore, Maryland, and by a personal guarantee from the borrower. The loan matures on January 31, 2008. The loan had an annual interest rate of 10.50% until January 31, 2005 and thereafter, the interest rate changes every six months to a rate equal to 800 basis points above the six month LIBOR rate, with a minimum rate of 10.50% per annum. At December 31, 2005, the annual interest rate was 12.17%.

 

 

(3)

Under the terms of the Mark Terrace note, the borrower has annual options to extend the maturity date from November 29, 2005 to November 29, 2008 at the interest rate of 9.16% per annum until maturity. In October, 2005, the borrower exercised its first annual option to extend the maturity date to November 29, 2006. As a result, the Company will receive a principal payment of $100,000 in 2006. If the borrower exercises its remaining options to extend the note, the Company will receive additional principal payments of $100,000 on each of November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2005, the note is collateralized by 85 unsold cooperative apartments at the Mark Terrace property. As apartments are sold, the Company receives principal payments ranging from $20,000 to $35,000 per unit depending upon the size of the unit. In 2005, the Company received principal payments of $110,000 for units that were sold in 2005.

 

 

(4)

In October, 2003, the Company made a $4,500,000 loan collateralized by ownership interests in nine apartment properties located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The loan matures on October 23, 2013 and basic interest accrues at an annual rate of 11.50% through October 23, 2007 and at 11% per annum from October 24, 2007 to maturity. For the first five years of the loan, a portion of the basic interest equal to 2% per annum is deferred and is payable on the fifth anniversary of the loan. In addition to the basic interest accruing on the loan, the Company is entitled to receive additional interest equal to 25% of any net sales or refinancing proceeds resulting

14



 

 

 

from sales or refinancing of the nine properties. Subsequent to year end, the first mortgages on the properties were refinanced and Presidential received $2,425,006 of net refinancing proceeds in repayment of a portion of its loan principal and $215,750 in payment of the deferred interest to date, leaving an outstanding principal balance of $2,074,994. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and Note 25 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


 

 

(e)

Qualification as a REIT

Since 1982, the Company has operated in a manner intended to permit it to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code. The Company intends to continue to operate in a manner to permit it to qualify as a REIT. However, no assurance can be given that it will be able to continue to operate in such a manner or to remain qualified.

In any year that the Company qualifies as a REIT and meets other conditions, including the distribution to stockholders of at least 90% of its “real estate investment trust taxable income” (excluding long-term capital gains but before a deduction for dividends paid), the Company will be entitled to deduct the distributions that it pays to its stockholders in determining its ordinary income and capital gains that are subject to federal income taxation (see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Income not distributed is subject to tax at rates applicable to a domestic corporation. In addition, the Company is subject to an excise tax (at a rate of 4%) if the amounts actually or deemed distributed during the year do not meet certain distribution requirements. In order to receive this favorable tax treatment, the Company must restrict its operations to those activities that are permitted under the Code and to restrict itself to the holding of assets that a REIT is permitted to hold.

No assurance can be given that the Company will, in fact, continue to be taxed as a REIT; that distributions will be maintained at the current rate; that the Company will have sufficient cash to pay dividends in order to maintain REIT status or that it will be able to make cash distributions in the future. In addition, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, the Board of Directors has the discretion to determine whether or not to distribute long-term capital gains and other types of income not required to be distributed in order to maintain REIT tax treatment.

Relationship with Ivy Properties, Ltd.

The Company holds nonrecourse purchase money notes receivable from Ivy Properties, Ltd. and its affiliates (“Ivy”) relating to properties sold to Ivy, as well as nonrecourse notes receivable relating to loans made to Ivy in connection with Ivy’s former cooperative conversion business, or as a result of settlement of disputes between Ivy and the Company, all of which transactions and settlement negotiations occurred between 1989 and 1996. In the aggregate, the notes receivable from Ivy had a carrying amount of $271,073 as of December 31, 2005, and a net carrying amount of $209,287, after deducting discounts. Two of the notes have an outstanding principal balance of $4,770,050 at December 31, 2005 (the “Consolidated Loans”). These notes were received by the Company in 1991 for nonrecourse loans that had been previously written off by the Company. Accordingly, these notes were recorded at zero except for a small portion of the notes that was adequately secured and was repaid in 2002. Presidential received interest of $385,476 and $585,327 from Ivy during 2005 and 2004, respectively, on all of the notes receivable from Ivy.

Ivy is owned by Thomas Viertel, Steven Baruch and Jeffrey Joseph (the “Ivy Principals”), who are the sole partners of Pdl Partnership, which owns 198,735 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result of the ownership of these shares and 27,601 aggregate additional shares of Class A common stock owned individually by the Ivy Principals, Pdl Partnership and the Ivy Principals have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of approximately 47% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of the Company, which class of stock is entitled to elect two-thirds of the Board of Directors of the Company. By reason of such beneficial ownership, the Ivy Principals are in a position substantially to control elections of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, these three officers own an aggregate of 153,149 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.

Jeffrey Joseph is the Chief Executive Officer, the President and a Director of Presidential. Thomas Viertel, an Executive Vice President and the Chief Financial Officer of Presidential, is the son of Joseph Viertel, a Director and a former President of Presidential, and the nephew of Robert E. Shapiro, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a former President of Presidential. Steven Baruch, an Executive Vice President of Presidential, is the cousin of Robert E. Shapiro and Joseph Viertel.

16



Since 1996, the Ivy Principals have made payments on the Consolidated Loans in an amount equal to 25% of the operating cash flow (after provision for certain reserves) of Scorpio Entertainment, Inc. (“Scorpio”), a company owned by two of the Ivy Principals that acts as a producer of theatrical productions, including “The Producers” and “Hairspray”, two successful productions that have recouped their original investments and have been distributing profits since 2001 and 2003, respectively. Amounts received by Presidential from Scorpio are applied to unpaid and unaccrued interest on the Consolidated Loans and recognized as income. The Company anticipates that these amounts may continue to be significant over the next several years. However, the continued profitability of any theatrical production is by its nature uncertain and management believes that any estimate of payments from Scorpio on the Consolidated Loans for future periods is too speculative to project. During 2005, Presidential received $354,000 of interest payments on the Consolidated Loans. The Consolidated Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Chase Prime rate, which was 7.25% at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, the unpaid and unaccrued interest was $3,103,816 and such interest is not compounded.

Any transactions relating to or otherwise involving Ivy and the Ivy Principals were and remain subject to the approval by a committee of three members of the Board of Directors with no affiliations with the owners of Ivy.

See Note 3 and 21 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on transactions with related parties. For further historical information about the loan transactions with Ivy, reference is made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

 

(g)

Competition

The real estate business is highly competitive in all respects. In attempting to expand its portfolio of owned properties, the Company will be in competition with other potential purchasers for properties and sources of financing, most of whom will be larger and have greater financial resources than the Company. In addition, in attempting to make loans secured by interests in real estate, the Company may be competing with other real estate lenders who may be willing to make loans at more favorable rates. As a result of such competition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain opportunities for new investments at attractive rates of return.

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had an ownership interest in 154 apartment units and 410,500 square feet of commercial, industrial and professional space, all of which are carried on its balance sheet at $1,899,442 (net of accumulated depreciation of $4,225,223). The Company has mortgage debt on the majority of these properties in the aggregate principal amount of $3,647,603, all of which is nonrecourse to Presidential with the exception of $1,154,451 secured by the mortgage on the Building Industries Center property and $145,788 secured by the mortgage on the Mapletree Industrial Center property.

Included in the 154 apartment units owned by Presidential are 49 cooperative apartment units. Although it may from time to time sell individual or groups of these apartments, Presidential intends to continue to hold them as rental apartments.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company also has an ownership interest in one apartment property that is being held for sale and is classified as assets related to discontinued operations. At December 31, 2005, the carrying value of this property was $2,718,244 (net of accumulated depreciation of $1,634,554) and the mortgage debt, which is nonrecourse to Presidential, was $2,917,285.

This mortgage amortizes monthly with a balloon payment due at maturity.

19



In the opinion of management, all of the Company’s properties are adequately covered by insurance in accordance with normal insurance practices. All real estate owned by the Company is owned in fee simple with title generally insured for the benefit of the Company by reputable title insurance companies.

The mortgages on the Company’s properties have fixed rates of interest and amortize monthly with the exception of the Building Industries Center mortgage, which has a balloon payment of $1,072,906 due at maturity.

During 2004 and 2005, Presidential invested in and made loans to various entities that own and operate shopping center malls throughout the United States. In addition to interest payable on the loans at the rate of 11% per annum, the Company also received a 29% ownership interest in these various entities (see Description of Business – Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures above). Presidential accounts for these investments in and advances to joint ventures under the equity method. At December 31, 2005, investments in and advances to joint ventures was $23,291,133.

The Company is the general partner of PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”) and has an aggregate 33% general and limited partner interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership. The Home Mortgage Partnership owns and operates an office building, with 211,000 square feet of commercial space, located in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. Presidential accounts for its investment in this partnership under the equity method. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s investment in the partnership had a negative basis for financial reporting purposes of $2,208,990. The negative basis was a result of distributions received from the partnership in excess of investments and earnings, and not a result of partnership operating losses.

During 2005, two tenants at the building vacated a total of 52,088 square feet of office space at the expiration of their leases in order to take occupancy of their own newly constructed office buildings and subsequent to year end another tenant vacated 30,299 square feet of office space in order to take occupancy of its newly constructed office building. As a result, at December 31, 2005, the vacancy rate at the building was 33% and at March 15, 2006, the vacancy rate was approximately 48%. Because of the relatively weak rental market in the Hato Rey area, the Company expects that it will take some time to find tenants for the vacant space and that until a substantial portion of the vacant space is rented, the property will

20



operate at a loss. In addition, the Home Mortgage Partnership has decided to undertake a program of repairs and improvements to the building that is expected to cost approximately $1,255,000. The Company has agreed to lend up to $1,000,000 to the Home Mortgage Partnership (and has the right to lend an additional $1,000,000) to pay for the cost of improvements to the building and fund any negative cash flows from the operation of the property. The loan, which will be advanced from time to time as funds are needed, will bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum, with interest and principal to be paid out of the first positive cash flow from the property or upon a refinancing of the first mortgage on the property.

ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

Presidential Realty Corporation is taxed for federal income tax purposes as a real estate investment trust. Presidential owns real estate directly and through joint ventures and makes loans secured by interests in real estate.

          Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures

On July 7, 2005, Presidential made a $9,500,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone Member III (“Lightstone III”) in connection with the purchase by Lightstone III of two shopping mall properties. The loan bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum and is due on June 30, 2015. As part of the loan transaction, Presidential obtained a 29% ownership interest in the entities owning the two shopping malls.

The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method.

          Other Investments

During 2005, the Company invested $1,495,000 with Broadway Real Estate Partners, LLC (“Broadway Partners”) in connection with two investment opportunities. The first investment is for $1,000,000, which money is being held in escrow pending investment into Pickwick Preferred Equity Lender LLC. Pending such investment, the Company is receiving interest at the rate of 11.43% per annum. The second investment is a commitment by the Company to invest $1,000,000 in Broadway Partners Parallel Fund A, a blind pool of investment capital sponsored by Broadway Partners. The Company has advanced $495,000 of this commitment and the balance of the commitment, at December 31, 2005, is $505,000. The Company accounts for this investment at cost.

          Real Estate Loans

During 2005, the Company received principal repayments on its mortgage portfolio of $8,755,093, of which $8,550,000 pertains to the Encore Apartments note receivable that was prepaid in March, 2005.

23



          Rental Property Operations

The Company’s income from rental property operations increased during 2005 as a result of increased rental revenues and lower operating expenses at most of its properties, especially the Mapletree Industrial Center property.

          Discontinued Operations

On January 26, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Farrington Apartments property for a sales price of $9,325,966. The net cash proceeds of sale were $1,592,580.

On April 4, 2005, the Company consummated the sale of its Fairlawn Gardens property for a sales price of $3,500,000. The net cash proceeds of sale were $1,906,896.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to sell the Cambridge Green property located in Council Bluffs, Iowa and has classified this property as a discontinued operation.

          Management Company

In October of 2004, the Company began to self-manage its properties through Fourth Floor Management Corp. (“FFMC”), a 100% owned subsidiary of Presidential Realty Corporation. FFMC also manages the property owned by PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”) in which the Company is the general partner and has a 33% partnership interest. As a result of managing its own properties through FFMC, the Company will achieve cost savings for management fee expenses and rental lease commission expenses and will receive management fee income and rental lease commission income from the Home Mortgage Partnership. These savings will be partially offset by increases in salary expenses for administrative personnel at the home office. The employees at the individual property sites are employed directly by FFMC and the salary expenses for rental property operations have remained the same.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures.

24



These estimates require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Management has discussed with the Company’s Audit Committee the implementation of the critical accounting policies described below and the estimates required with respect to such policies.

          Real Estate

Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Additions and improvements are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are charged to rental property operating expenses as incurred. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The useful life of each property, as well as the allocation of the costs associated with a property to its various components, requires estimates by management. If management incorrectly estimates the allocation of those costs or incorrectly estimates the useful lives of its real estate, depreciation expense may be miscalculated.

The Company reviews each of its properties, including the property held by PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”), for impairment at least annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances warrant. If impairment were to occur, the property would be written down to its estimated fair value. The Company assesses impairment based on undiscounted cash flow estimates that utilize appropriate capitalization rates. The future estimated cash flows of a property are based on current rental revenues and operating expenses, as well as the current local economic climate of the property. Considerable judgment is required in making these estimates and changes in these estimates could cause the estimated cash flows to change and impairment could occur. As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s net real estate was $1,899,442 and the Home Mortgage Partnership’s net real estate was $3,905,347. During 2005, no impairments were recorded on any of these properties.

          Assets and Liabilities Related to Discontinued Operations

Assets related to discontinued operations are carried at the lower of cost (net of accumulated depreciation and amortization) or fair value less costs to sell. An operating property is classified as held for sale and, accordingly, as a discontinued operation when, in the judgment of management, a sale that will close within one year is probable. The Company discontinues depreciation and amortization when a property is classified as a discontinued operation. At December 31, 2005, assets related to discontinued operations were $2,850,245.

25



The Company estimates the value of a property held for sale to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. During 2005, no impairment charges have been recorded for the property held for sale.

Liabilities related to assets held for sale consist primarily of the $2,917,285 nonrecourse mortgage debt on the property, which will either be assumed by the purchaser or repaid from the proceeds of the sale. At December 31, 2005, total liabilities related to discontinued operations were $2,996,423 (see Discontinued Operations below).

          Mortgage Portfolio

The Company evaluates the collectibility of both accrued interest and principal on its $10,918,920 mortgage portfolio to determine whether there are any impaired loans. If a mortgage loan were considered to be impaired, the Company would establish a valuation allowance equal to the difference between a) the carrying value of the loan, and b) the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan at its effective interest rate, or at the estimated fair value of the real estate collateralizing the loan. Although, a loan modification could be an indicator of a possible impairment, the Company has in the past, and may in the future, modify loans for business purposes and not as a result of debtor financial difficulties. Income on impaired loans is recognized only as cash is received. All loans are current as to payment of principal and interest according to their terms, as modified, and no loans have been classified as impaired.

          Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management assesses the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and other receivables, using indicators such as past-due accounts, the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history and the ability of the tenant or debtor to meet its payment obligations. Management’s estimate of allowances for doubtful accounts is subject to revision as these factors change. Rental revenue is recorded on the accrual method and rental revenue recognition is generally discontinued when the tenant in occupancy is delinquent for ninety days or more. Bad debt expense is charged for vacated tenant accounts and subsequent receipts collected for those receivables will reduce bad debt expense. At December 31, 2005, other receivables, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $104,305, were $422,353. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, bad debt expense for continuing operations relating to tenant obligations was $7,200 and $30,645, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded a bad debt expense in 2004 in the amount of

26



$269,585 for receivables due from an unaffiliated property management company that had been managing the Company’s properties.

          Pension Plans

The Company maintains a qualified Defined Benefit Pension Plan, which covers substantially all of its employees. The plan provides for monthly retirement benefits commencing at age 65. The Company makes annual contributions that meet the minimum funding requirements and the maximum contribution levels under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company was not required to make any contributions to the plan in 2005, but did make the maximum tax deductible contribution of $165,906 in February of 2006 for the 2005 tax year. Contributions for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $2,551,446. There are no required contributions for 2006, but the Company may make a maximum tax deductible contribution in 2006 of approximately $389,000. Net periodic benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $465,162 and $465,407, respectively. The projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2005 was $7,377,008 and the fair value of the plan assets was $7,453,100. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the discount rate used in computing the projected benefit obligation was 5.41% and 5.66%, respectively. The expected rate of return on plan assets was 7% for both years. Management regularly reviews the plan assets, the actuarial assumptions and the expected rate of return. Changes in actuarial assumptions, interest rates or changes in the fair value of the plan assets can materially affect the benefit obligation, the required funding and the benefit costs.

In addition, the Company has contractual retirement agreements with certain active and retired officers providing for unfunded pension benefits. The Company accrues on an actuarial basis the estimated costs of these benefits during the years the employee provides services. The benefits generally provide for annual payments in specified amounts for each participant for life, commencing upon retirement, with an annual cost of living increase. Benefits paid for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $473,837 and $459,290, respectively. Benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $416,539 and $414,053, respectively. The projected contractual pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2005 was $2,835,963. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the discount rate used in computing the projected benefit obligation was 5.41% and 5.66%, respectively. Changes in interest rates and actuarial assumptions, amendments to the plan and life expectancies could materially affect benefit costs and the contractual accumulated pension benefit obligation.

27



          Income Taxes

The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Code. Under those sections, a REIT which meets certain requirements is not subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders, if at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (exclusive of capital gains) is so distributed. As a result of its ordinary tax loss for 2005, there is no requirement to make a distribution in 2006. In addition, although no assurances can be given, the Company currently expects that it will not have to pay Federal income taxes for 2005 because its present intention is to distribute all of its 2005 taxable income (including capital gain) during 2005 and 2006. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made at December 31, 2005. If the Company failed to distribute the required amounts of income to its shareholders, or otherwise fails to meet the REIT requirements, it would fail to qualify as a REIT and substantial adverse tax consequences could result.

          2005 vs 2004

Revenues decreased by $1,077,881 primarily as a result of decreases in interest income on mortgages-sold properties and other and interest income on mortgages-related parties. These decreases were partially offset by increases in rental revenues and other revenues.

Rental revenues increased by $122,677 as a result of increases at all of the rental properties.

Interest on mortgages-sold properties and other decreased by $1,324,709. As a result of $17,550,000 in repayments on notes receivable in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, interest income on those notes decreased by $1,336,312 in the 2005 period.

Interest on mortgages-related parties decreased by $209,044 primarily as a result of a decrease of $194,750 in payments of interest income received on the Consolidated Loans (see below).

Other revenues increased by $333,195 primarily as a result of a $256,500 prepayment fee received on the repayment of the Encore Apartments note receivable and an additional $25,000 fee in connection with the Encore repayment. In addition, other revenues increased by $103,671 for fees earned by the Company’s management company for third party owned properties. These increases were partially offset by a $60,000 prepayment fee received on the repayment of the Newcastle note receivable in 2004.

Costs and expenses increased by $51,194 primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by decreases in rental property operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by $80,180 primarily as a result of a $152,842 increase in salary expense, of which $83,956 pertains to new employees hired in connection with the property management company formed in October, 2004 and $68,886 pertains to annual salary increases. In addition, professional fees increased by $99,287 and postretirement benefit costs increased by $90,096. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $254,698 in bad debt expense. In 2004, the Company wrote off to bad debt expense a $269,585 receivable due from an unaffiliated property management company.

29



Rental property operating expenses decreased by $40,730 primarily as a result of a $44,007 decrease in property management fees. During the 2004 period, management fees were paid to a third party management company. As of October 1, 2004, the Company self-managed its properties and had no management fee expense in 2005.

Other income decreased by $916,428 primarily as a result of the $771,852 increase in the equity in the loss of joint ventures. The Company purchased these investments in joint ventures in the third and fourth quarters of 2004 and in the third quarter of 2005 (see Liquidity and Capital Resources – Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures below). In addition, equity in income of partnership decreased by $291,494 due to lower earnings of the Home Mortgage Partnership, as a result of a higher vacancy rate at its property (see Liquidity and Capital Resources – Home Mortgage Partnership below). These decreases were partially offset by a $146,918 increase in investment income attributable to higher interest rates and higher cash balances.

Income from continuing operations before net gain from sales of properties decreased by $2,043,184 from income of $161,350 in 2004 to a loss of $1,881,834 in 2005. This decrease was primarily a result of decreases in revenues of $1,077,881, the increase in the equity in the loss of joint ventures of $771,852 and the decrease in the equity in the income of partnership of $291,494.

Net gain from sales of properties consists of recognition of deferred gains from sales in prior years. The recognition of deferred gains from sales in prior years depends on the receipt of installments or prepayments of purchase money notes. In 2005, the net gain from sales of properties was $3,241,540 compared to $2,991,850 in 2004.

The Company had three properties that were classified as discontinued operations during 2005: the Farrington Apartments property in Clearwater, Florida, which was sold in January of 2005, the Fairlawn Gardens property in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which

30



was sold in April of 2005, and the Cambridge Green property, which was designated as held for sale during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources – Discontinued Operations below).

Balance Sheet

Net real estate decreased by $2,360,287 primarily as a result of the $2,389,387 reclassification of net real estate related to the Cambridge Green property, which was reclassified from net real estate to assets related to discontinued operations in 2005. In addition, in 2005 the Company purchased additions and improvements to the properties of $154,283 and recorded depreciation of $125,183.

Net mortgage portfolio decreased by $5,361,514 as a result of the repayment of the Encore Apartments note receivable. In March, 2005, the Company received repayment of its $8,550,000 note secured by a

31



mortgage on Encore Apartments in New York, New York. As a result, mortgage receivables decreased by $8,550,000 and deferred gains on sale decreased by $3,241,540 (a net effect of $5,308,460 on the mortgage portfolio) and a deferred gain of $3,241,540 was recognized. In connection with the prepayment of this note, the Company also received a prepayment fee of $256,500, other fees of $25,000 and an additional interest payment of $171,000.

Assets related to discontinued operations decreased by $8,185,762 from $11,036,007 at December 31, 2004 to $2,850,245 at December 31, 2005. Due to the sales of the Farrington Apartments and the Fairlawn Gardens properties in 2005, assets related to discontinued operations decreased by $11,036,007. The reclassification of the Cambridge Green property to discontinued operations in 2005 increased assets related to discontinued operations by $2,850,245.

Investments in and advances to joint ventures increased by $6,076,770 primarily as a result of the $9,500,000 investment made in the Macon and Burlington Malls in July of 2005. This increase was partially offset by distributions of $2,505,239 received by the Company (of which $2,171,889 was interest at the rate of 11% on loans advanced to the joint ventures in the aggregate principal amount of $25,600,000 and $333,350 was a return on investment) and $880,685 of equity in the loss from the joint ventures.

In 2005, the Company invested $1,495,000 in other investments (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below).

Prepaid expenses and deposits in escrow decreased by $474,438 primarily as a result of decreases of $492,080 in deposits in escrow, partially offset by increases of $17,642 in prepaid expenses.

Prepaid defined benefit plan costs decreased by $465,162 as a result of the $465,162 net periodic benefit costs for 2005.

Other receivables decreased by $355,645 primarily as a result of a decrease in accrued interest receivable of $196,584, decreases in net tenant accounts receivable of $68,673 and decreases of $90,388 in miscellaneous receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $792,470 primarily as a result of the $9,002,500 cash received from the prepayment, additional interest and fees on the Encore Apartments note receivable repayment; net cash proceeds of $1,592,580 from the sale of the Farrington Apartments property and net cash proceeds of

32



$1,906,896 (after first mortgage repayment of $1,411,670) from the sale of the Fairlawn Gardens property, which were partially offset by disbursements of $9,500,000 for investment in joint ventures, $1,495,000 for other investments, $664,854 for additions and improvements and $65,000 for the purchase of an additional 1% interest in the Home Mortgage Plaza partnership.

Other assets decreased by $150,152 primarily as a result of the reclassification of $139,398 from other assets to assets related to discontinued operations.

Mortgage debt decreased by $3,090,323 primarily as a result of the reclassification of $2,965,810 from mortgage debt to liabilities related to discontinued operations.

Liabilities related to discontinued operations decreased by $6,856,499. As a result of the 2005 sales of the Farrington Apartments and Fairlawn Gardens properties, liabilities related to discontinued operations decreased by $9,852,922. These decreases were offset by a $2,996,423 increase resulting from the reclassification of $2,917,285 of mortgage debt and $79,138 of other liabilities related to the Cambridge Green property, which is classified as discontinued operations.

Accrued liabilities decreased by $171,369 primarily as a result of decreases in accrued rental property expenses of $106,717 and decreases of $64,652 in accrued general and administrative expenses.

Accounts payable increased by $97,930. This increase in accounts payable is a result of payment timing and not from insufficient cash flows.

Other liabilities decreased by $68,530 primarily as a result of the reclassification of $79,393 of tenants’ security deposits to liabilities related to discontinued operations.

In July, 2005, three independent directors of the Company each received 1,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock as partial payment for directors’ fees for the 2005 year. The shares were valued at $8.35 per share, which was the market value of the Class B common stock at the grant date, and, accordingly, the Company recorded $25,050 in prepaid directors’ fees based on the market value of the stock. The Company recorded additions to the Company’s Class B common stock of $300 at par value of $.10 per share and $24,750 to additional paid-in capital. In addition, in August, 2005, an executive of the Company was awarded 11,000

33



restricted shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, of which 10,000 were granted and accrued for in 2004 and 1,000 were granted in 2005 (subject to shareholder approval of the proposed 2005 Restricted Stock Plan, which was obtained in June, 2005). The 10,000 shares were valued at $7.51 per share and the 1,000 shares were valued at $9.04 per share, which were the respective market values of the Class B common stock at the grant date. Accordingly, the Company recorded salary expense of $75,100 in 2004 and $9,040 in 2005. In 2005, the Company recorded additions to the Company’s Class B common stock of $1,100 at par value of $.10 per share and $83,040 to additional paid-in capital.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $79,503 primarily as a result of an adjustment of $80,257 for contractual pension benefits.

Funds From Operations

Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties (including properties classified as discontinued operations), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate. FFO is calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of FFO. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Management believes that FFO is helpful to investors as supplemental performance measures because these measures exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs.

(1) In 2005 and 2004, the Company decided to maintain its cash dividend at the annual rate of $.64 per share despite the fact the dividends paid exceeded funds from operations. As a result of balloon payments received on the Company’s mortgage portfolio and proceeds from sales of properties, the Company had funds available to it for distribution to shareholders notwithstanding the fact that distributions exceeded funds from operations in those periods. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to carry on its existing business and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, to pay the dividends required to maintain REIT status in the foreseeable future. Except as discussed herein, management is not aware of any other trends, events, commitments or uncertainties that will have a significant effect on liquidity.

Presidential obtains funds for working capital and investment from its available cash and cash equivalents, from operating activities, from refinancing of mortgage loans on its real estate equities or from sales of such equities, and from repayments on its mortgage portfolio. The Company also has at its disposal a $250,000 unsecured line of credit from a lending institution. At December 31, 2005, there was no outstanding balance due under the line of credit.

35



At December 31, 2005, Presidential had $2,878,237 in available cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $792,470 from the $2,085,767 at December 31, 2004. This increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to cash provided by operating activities of $2,470,810 and cash provided by investing activities of $2,818,697, offset by cash used in financing activities of $4,497,037.

During 2004, the Company paid cash distributions to shareholders that exceeded cash flows from operating activities. Periodically the Company receives balloon payments on its mortgage portfolio and net proceeds from sales of discontinued operations and other properties. These payments are available to the Company for distribution to its shareholders or the Company may retain these payments for future investment. The Company may in the future, as it did in 2004, pay dividends in excess of its cash flow from operating activities if management believes that the Company’s liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to pay such dividends.

To the extent that payments received on its mortgage portfolio or payments received from sales are taxable as capital gains, the Company has the option to distribute the gain to its shareholders or retain the gain and pay Federal income tax on it.

The Company does not have a specific policy as to the retention or distribution of capital gains. The Company’s dividend policy regarding capital gains for future periods will be based upon many factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s present and projected liquidity, its desire to retain funds available for additional investment, its historical dividend rate and its ability to reduce taxes by paying dividends. While the Company maintained the $.64 dividend rate in 2005, no assurances can be given that the present dividend rate will be maintained in the future.

          Insurance

The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, flood (where necessary), extended coverage, rental loss and acts of terrorism insurance on all of its properties. Management believes that all of its properties are adequately covered by insurance. In 2005, the cost for this insurance was approximately $187,000. The Company has renewed its insurance coverage for 2006 and the Company estimates that the premium costs will be approximately $192,000 for 2006. Although the Company has been able to obtain terrorism coverage on

36



its properties in the past, this coverage may not be available in the future.

          Consolidated Loans

Presidential holds two nonrecourse notes (the “Consolidated Loans”) from Ivy Properties, Ltd. and its affiliates (“Ivy”). At December 31, 2005, the Consolidated Loans have an outstanding principal balance of $4,770,050 and a net carrying value of zero. Pursuant to existing agreements between the Company and the Ivy principals, the Company is entitled to receive, as payments of principal and interest on the Consolidated Loans, 25% of the cash flow of Scorpio Entertainment, Inc. (“Scorpio”), a company owned by two of the Ivy principals (Steven Baruch, Executive Vice President of Presidential, and Thomas Viertel, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Presidential) to carry on theatrical productions. Amounts received by Presidential from Ivy will be applied to unpaid and unaccrued interest on the Consolidated Loans and recognized as income. The Company anticipates that these amounts may continue to be significant over the next several years. However, the continued profitability of any theatrical production is by its nature uncertain and management believes that any estimate of payments from Ivy on the Consolidated Loans for future periods is too speculative to project. Presidential received payments of $354,000 in 2005 and $548,750 in 2004 of interest income on the Consolidated Loans. The Consolidated Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Chase Prime rate, which was 7.25% at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, the unpaid and unaccrued interest was $3,103,816 and such interest is not compounded.

          Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities includes interest on the Company’s mortgage portfolio, net cash received from rental property operations and distributions received from a partnership and joint ventures. In 2005, cash received from interest on the Company’s mortgage portfolio was $2,122,593 and distributions received from the partnership and joint ventures were $26,922 and $2,505,239, respectively. Net cash received from rental property operations was $425,089. Net cash received from rental property operations is net of distributions from partnership operations to minority partners but before additions and improvements and mortgage amortization.

37



          Investing Activities

Presidential holds a portfolio of mortgage notes receivable. During 2005, the Company received principal payments of $8,755,093 on its mortgage portfolio, of which $8,711,194 represented prepayments and balloon payments.

In March, 2005, the Company received prepayment of its $8,550,000 Encore Apartments note receivable which was due to mature on April 30, 2009. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $3,241,540 which had previously been deferred. In connection with the prepayment, the Company received a prepayment fee of $256,500, other fees of $25,000 and additional interest of $171,000.

Prepayments and balloon payments are sporadic and cannot be relied upon as a regular source of liquidity.

In July, 2005, the Company made a $9,500,000 loan to Lightstone Member III LLC (“Lightstone III”) in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone III of two shopping malls (see Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures below).

During 2005, the Company received $875,434 of net proceeds from a fire insurance settlement pertaining to the Fairlawn Gardens property.

During 2005, the Company invested $664,854 in additions and improvements to its properties, of which approximately $503,000 pertains to discontinued operations. It is projected that additions and improvements in 2006 will be approximately $150,000.

In January, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Farrington Apartments property in Clearwater, Florida, resulting in net proceeds of sale of $1,592,580 (see Discontinued Operations below).

In April, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Fairlawn Gardens property in Martinsburg, West Virginia resulting in net proceeds of sale of $1,906,896 (see Discontinued Operations below).

On May 24, 2005, the Company invested $1,000,000 with Broadway Real Estate Partners, LLC (“Broadway Partners”), which money is being held in escrow pending investment into Pickwick Preferred Equity Lender LLC (“Pickwick”). While the money is being held in escrow, the Company received interest payments at the rate of 8% per annum from May 24, 2005 through May 31, 2005 and at the rate of 11.43% per

38



annum thereafter. The $1,000,000 is scheduled to be invested in 2006.

When the investment in Pickwick is made, the Company will own a 12.05% interest in a limited liability company whose sole asset is an $8,300,000 note receivable secured by certain ownership interests in an office building in Greenwich, Connecticut. Presidential is entitled to receive $9,525 of interest per month on its investment and when the $8,300,000 loan is repaid, Presidential will receive $974,335 in full liquidation of its investment.

Presidential also has agreed to invest $1,000,000 in Broadway Partners Parallel Fund A, a blind pool of investment capital sponsored by Broadway Partners, through redemption of its membership interest in Pickwick. Presidential’s commitment will be called on from time to time by Broadway Partners as it requires funds to make real estate investments. However, Presidential has the right, provided it gives written notice within seven days of such request, to fund its obligations from other capital resources. At December 31, 2005, Presidential had advanced $495,000 of its commitment from its own capital resources and the balance of Presidential’s commitment was $505,000.

In 2005, the Company purchased an additional 1% interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership for a purchase price of $65,000. At December 31, 2005, the Company owned a 33% limited and general partnership interest.

          Financing Activities

The Company’s indebtedness at December 31, 2005, consisted of $3,647,603 of mortgage debt. The mortgage debt is collateralized by individual properties. The $2,347,364 mortgage on the Crown Court property is nonrecourse to the Company, whereas the $1,154,451 Building Industries Center mortgage and the $145,788 Mapletree Industrial Center mortgage are recourse to Presidential. In addition, some of the Company’s mortgages provide for Company liability for damages resulting from specified acts or circumstances, such as for environmental liabilities and fraud. Generally, mortgage debt repayment is serviced with cash flow from the operations of the individual properties. During 2005, the Company made $189,437 of principal payments on mortgage debt.

The mortgages on the Company’s properties are at fixed rates of interest and will fully amortize by periodic principal payments, with the exception of the Building Industries Center mortgage, which

39



has a balloon payment of $1,072,906 due at maturity in January, 2009.

In March, 2005, the Company made a prepayment of $707,588 on the Fairlawn Gardens first mortgage debt from the proceeds of a fire insurance settlement and repaid the $1,411,670 outstanding balance in May, 2005 from the proceeds of the sale of the property.

During 2005, the Company received $153,000 upon the exercise of stock options by an officer of the Company.

During 2005, Presidential declared and paid cash distributions of $2,456,304 to its shareholders and received proceeds from its dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan of $127,462.

          Discontinued Operations

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, income (loss) from discontinued operations includes the Farrington Apartments property, which was sold in January, 2005, the Fairlawn Gardens property, which was sold in April, 2005 and the Cambridge Green property, which was designated as held for sale during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. In addition, income (loss) from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 included the Continental Gardens property, the Preston Lake Apartments property and three cooperative apartments, which were all sold during the year ended December 31, 2004.

On January 26, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Farrington Apartments property in Clearwater, Florida for a sales price of $9,325,966, of which $1,720,000 was paid in cash and the $7,605,966 balance was paid by the assumption by the purchaser of the first mortgage on the property. In connection with the closing, Presidential gave the purchaser a $300,000 credit against the purchase price for hurricane damage sustained by the property prior to closing and retained the insurance proceeds of $260,405. The loss from the sale for financial reporting purposes was $11,580.

On April 4, 2005, the Company consummated the sale of its Fairlawn Gardens property in Martinsburg, West Virginia for a sales price of $3,500,000. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the $1,411,670 outstanding principal balance of the first mortgage, prepayment fees and other closing expenses, were $1,906,896. Prior to closing, in March, 2005, the Company received $707,588 of insurance proceeds resulting from fire damage to sixteen apartments at the property in 2004 and applied those proceeds to pay down a

40



portion of the outstanding balance of the first mortgage prior to the sale. In November, 2005, the Company received $167,846 of additional insurance proceeds related to the same fire and these proceeds were included in the gain on the sale of the property. The gain on sale for financial reporting purposes was $2,434,789. The gain for Federal income tax purposes resulting from this transaction was $2,436,859 and is being treated by the Company as a gain resulting from an involuntary conversion of property under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the gain will be deferred pursuant to the provisions of Section 1033.

The Company consummated the sale of its Continental Gardens property in June, 2004, for a sales price of $21,500,000. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the $7,543,612 first mortgage loan and prepayment penalty of $919,522, brokerage fees of $411,610 and other expenses of sale of $498,639, were $12,126,617, all of which was used to purchase an exchange property pursuant to a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (see Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures below). The gain from sale for financial reporting purposes was $11,008,520.

In February, 2004, as a result of continuing operating losses at Preston Lake Apartments in Tucker, Georgia, the Company decided not to make the monthly payment due February 1, 2004 on the first mortgage note secured by the property. The holder of the first mortgage commenced foreclosure proceedings and Presidential consented to the appointment of a receiver for the property and did not contest the foreclosure sale. On May 4, 2004, the property was sold in a foreclosure sale by the holder of the first mortgage. The Company recorded a gain on the foreclosure sale for financial reporting purposes of $248,697.

The Company owns a small portfolio of cooperative apartments located in New York and Connecticut. These apartments are held for the production of rental income and are not generally marketed for sale. However, from time to time, the Company will receive purchase offers for some of these apartments or decide to market specific apartments and will make sales if the purchase price is acceptable to management. In 2004, the Company sold three of these cooperative apartments. The gain from the sales of these apartments for financial reporting purposes was $913,945 and the net cash proceeds of sale were $1,015,828.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to sell the Cambridge Green property, a 201-unit apartment property in Council Bluffs, Iowa. For the year ended December 31, 2005, gross revenues

41



were $1,043,671 and loss from operations was $472,997 (which includes depreciation expense of $160,257). At December 31, 2005, the carrying value of the property was $2,718,244 (net of accumulated depreciation of $1,634,554) and the outstanding mortgage balance was $2,917,285. The interest rate on the mortgage is 6.65% per annum and the mortgage matures in October, 2029.

Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures

During 2004 and 2005, the Company made investments in and loans to joint ventures and received ownership interests in these joint ventures.

The Company purchased the Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia for $27,000,000 in September, 2004 and subsequent to closing received a mezzanine loan from The Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”) in the amount of $2,600,000, which is secured by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entity that owns the

42



Martinsburg Mall. The loan matures on September 27, 2014, and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum. Lightstone Member LLC (“Lightstone I”) manages the property and David Lichtenstein received a 71% ownership interest in the entity owning the property, leaving the Company with a 29% ownership interest.

In September, 2004, the Company made an $8,600,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone I in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone I of four shopping malls, namely the Shenango Valley Mall, in Hermitage, Pennsylvania; the West Manchester Mall, in York, Pennsylvania; the Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland, Tennessee; and the Mount Berry Square Mall in Rome, Georgia (the “Four Malls”). The loan is secured by the ownership interests in the entities that own the Four Malls and the Company received a 29% ownership interest in these entities. The loan matures on September 27, 2014 and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum.

The Martinsburg Mall and the Four Malls are subject to a $105,000,000 nonrecourse first mortgage loan.

In December, 2004, the Company made a $7,500,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone Member II LLC (“Lightstone II”) in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone II of the Brazos Outlets Center Mall in Lake Jackson, Texas and the Shawnee Mall in Shawnee, Oklahoma (the “Shawnee/Brazos Malls”). The loan is secured by the ownership interests in the entities that own the properties and the Company received a 29% ownership interest in these entities. The loan matures on December 23, 2014 and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum. The Shawnee/Brazos Malls are subject to a $39,500,000 nonrecourse first mortgage loan.

On July 7, 2005, the Company made a $9,500,000 mezzanine loan to Lightstone Member III LLC (“Lightstone III”) in connection with the acquisition by Lightstone III of two shopping malls, namely the Macon Mall, an enclosed two-story regional mall located in Macon, Georgia with 764,208 square feet of gross leasable area (and an additional 682,160 square feet of department store space in the mall area owned by four department stores), and the Burlington Mall, an enclosed single story regional mall located in Burlington, North Carolina with 416,442 square feet of gross leasable area (the “Macon/Burlington Malls”). The loan is secured by the ownership interests in the entities that own the properties and the Company received a 29% ownership interest in these entities. The loan matures on June 30, 2015, and the interest rate on the loan is 11% per annum. The Macon/Burlington Malls are subject to a nonrecourse

43



first mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan in the aggregate original principal amount of $158,850,000.

The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method. At December 31, 2005, investments in and advances to joint ventures are as follows:

(1) The Company’s share of the loss of joint ventures for the Martinsburg Mall is determined after the deduction for the interest expense at the rate of 11% per annum on the outstanding $2,600,000 loan from Lightstone.

(2) Interest income earned by the Company at the rate of 11% per annum on the outstanding $8,600,000 loan from the Company to Lightstone I is included in the calculation of the Company’s share of the loss of joint ventures for the Four Malls.

(3) The Company’s share of the income of joint ventures for the Shawnee/Brazos Malls is determined after interest income at the rate of 11% per annum on the outstanding $7,500,000 loan from Presidential to Lightstone II.

(4) Interest income earned by the Company at the rate of 11% per annum on the outstanding $9,500,000 loan from the Company to Lightstone III is included in the calculation of the Company’s share of the loss of joint ventures for the Macon/Burlington Malls.

As a result of the Company’s use of the equity method of accounting with respect to its investments in and advances to the joint ventures, the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 reflects 29% of the income (loss) of

44



the joint ventures. The equity in the loss of joint ventures of $880,685 for the year ended December 31, 2005 is after deductions in the aggregate amount of $3,967,231 for the Company’s 29% of noncash charges (depreciation of $2,256,368, amortization of deferred financing costs of $463,513 and amortization of in-place lease values of $1,247,350). Notwithstanding the income (loss) from the joint ventures, the Company is entitled to receive its interest at the rate of 11% per annum on its $25,600,000 of loans to the joint ventures. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company received distributions from the joint ventures in the amount of $2,505,239, which included payments of interest in the amount of $2,171,889 and return on investment in the amount of $333,350.

The Lightstone Group is controlled by David Lichtenstein. At December 31, 2005, in addition to Presidential’s investments of $23,291,133 in these joint ventures with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein, Presidential has three loans that are due from entities that are controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $9,875,000 with a net carrying value of $9,122,683. Some, but not all, of these loans are guaranteed in whole or in part by Mr. Lichtenstein and all of such loans are in good standing. While the Company believes that all of these loans are adequately secured, a default on some or all of these loans could have a material adverse effect on Presidential’s business and operating results. Subsequent to year end, the Company received partial prepayment on one of the loans outstanding to entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein. The Company has a $4,500,000 loan secured by ownership interests in entities owning nine apartment properties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The first mortgages on these properties were refinanced and Presidential received $2,425,006 of net refinancing proceeds in repayment of a portion of its loan principal and $215,750 in payment of the deferred interest to date, leaving an outstanding principal balance of $2,074,994.

The $32,413,816 net carrying value of investments in and advances to joint ventures with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein and loans outstanding to entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein constitute 71% of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2005.

          Home Mortgage Partnership

At December 31, 2005, the Company has an aggregate 33% general and limited partnership interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership. The Home Mortgage Partnership owns and operates an office building in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.

45



During 2005, two tenants at the building vacated a total of 52,088 square feet of office space at the expiration of their leases in order to take occupancy of their own newly constructed office buildings and subsequent to year end another tenant vacated 30,299 square feet of office space in order to take occupancy of its newly constructed office building. As a result, at December 31, 2005, the vacancy rate at the building was 33% and at March 15, 2006, the vacancy rate was approximately 48%. Because of the relatively weak rental market in the Hato Rey area, the Company expects that it will take some time to find tenants for the vacant space and that until a substantial portion of the vacant space is rented, the property will operate at a loss. In addition, the Home Mortgage Partnership has decided to undertake a program of repairs and improvements to the building that is expected to cost approximately $1,255,000. The Company has agreed to lend up to $1,000,000 to the Home Mortgage Partnership (and has the right to lend an additional $1,000,000) to pay for the cost of improvements to the building and fund any negative cash flows from the operation of the property. The loan, which will be advanced from time to time as funds are needed, will bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum, with interest and principal to be paid out of the first positive cash flow from the property or upon a refinancing of the first mortgage on the property.

          Contractual Commitments

The Company also has contractual commitments for pension and postretirement benefits. The contractual pension benefits generally provide for annual payments in specified amounts for each participant for life, commencing upon retirement, with an annual adjustment for an increase in the consumer price index. The contractual benefit plans are not funded. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company paid $473,837 for pension benefits and $66,857 for postretirement benefits. The Company expects that payments for these contractual benefits will be $564,000 in 2006.

In addition, the Company has a contractual commitment to invest $505,000 in Broadway Partners Parallel Fund A and a commitment to lend up to $1,000,000 to the Home Mortgage Partnership.

          Environmental Matters

The Company is not aware of any environmental issues at any of its properties. The presence of hazardous substances at any of its properties could have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During 2005, the Company was required to implement the new Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, (Revised 2004) – “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, which the Company previously adopted. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first interim and annual reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March, 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 clarifies that the term “Conditional

47



Asset Retirement Obligation” refers to a legal obligation (pursuant to existing law or contract) to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The Company adopted FIN 47 as required effective December 31, 2005, and the initial application of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In May, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3”. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June, 2005, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. EITF Issue No. 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or a similar entity. It became effective for all newly formed limited partnerships and for any pre-existing limited partnerships that modify their partnership agreements after June 29, 2005. General partners of all other limited partnerships will apply the consensus no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-5 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of notes receivable and mortgage notes payable. Substantially all of these

48



instruments bear interest at fixed rates, so the Company’s cash flows from them are not directly impacted by changes in market rates of interest. Changes in market rates of interest impact the fair values of these fixed rate assets and liabilities. However, because the Company generally holds its notes receivable until maturity or prepayment and repays its notes payable at maturity or upon sale of the related properties, any fluctuations in values do not impact the Company’s earnings, balance sheet or cash flows. Nevertheless, since some of the Company’s mortgage notes payable are at fixed rates of interest and provide for yield maintenance payments upon prepayment prior to maturity, if market interest rates are lower than the interest rates on the mortgage notes payable, the Company’s ability to sell the properties securing the notes may be adversely affected and the net proceeds of any sale may be reduced as a result of the yield maintenance requirements. The Company does not own any derivative financial instruments or engage in hedging activities.

The $105,000,000 nonrecourse first mortgage loan secured by the Martinsburg Mall and the Four Malls, and the $39,500,000 nonrecourse first mortgage loan secured by the Shawnee/Brazos Malls (see Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures above), carry interest rates that change monthly based on the London Interbank Offered Rate and mature in October, 2006 and January, 2007, respectively, subject to the borrower’s right to extend the maturity dates for three additional one year terms. As a result, any material increase in interest rates could adversely affect the operating results of the joint ventures and their ability to make the required interest payments on the Company’s $8,600,000 and $7,500,000 mezzanine loans to those entities. The interest rate on the first mortgages secured by the Martinsburg Mall and the Four Malls in fact increased from 5.70% per annum at December 31, 2004 to 7.98% per annum at December 31, 2005 and the interest rate on the first mortgages secured by the Shawnee/Brazos Malls increased from 4.90% per annum at December 31, 2004 to 7.18% per annum at December 31, 2005. The Company believes that these first mortgages will either be extended in accordance with their terms or refinanced prior to the maturity date of their initial terms.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


 

 

(a)

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in this report.

 

 

(b)

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


 

 

ITEM 8B.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is delinquent in its federal securities law filing obligations because it has not filed the required financial information as an Exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K with respect to its investment in five shopping mall properties in September, 2004. The financial information relates to operations of the properties for calendar year 2003 and the nine months ended September, 2004 prior to the Company’s investment in the properties. The Company was unable to obtain the financial information from the seller of the properties. This delinquency will be cured with the filing of this Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, which includes audited financial statements for the properties for the period from the acquisition of the Company’s interest in the properties until December 31, 2005. During the period of delinquency in its filing obligations, Presidential’s dividend reinvestment plan for its Class B Common Stock continued pursuant to the terms of its Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan but shareholders were not able to make optional cash payments to acquire shares under the Plan. Since the delinquency will be cured upon the filing of this Form 10-KSB, shareholders will once again be able to purchase additional shares under the terms of the Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Presidential Realty Corporation
White Plains, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Presidential Realty Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Presidential Realty Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Presidential Realty Corporation (“Presidential” or the “Company”), is operated as a self-administrated, self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). The Company is engaged principally in the ownership of income producing real estate and in the holding of notes and mortgages secured by real estate. Presidential operates in a single business segment, investments in real estate related assets.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Real Estate – Real estate is stated at cost. Generally, depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which range from twenty to fifty years for buildings and from three to ten years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and renewals and replacements are capitalized. The Company reviews each of its property investments for possible impairment at least annually, and more frequently if circumstances warrant. Impairment of properties is determined to exist when estimated amounts recoverable through future operations on an undiscounted basis are below the properties’ carrying value. If a property is determined to be impaired, it is written down to its estimated fair value.

B. Mortgage Portfolio – Net mortgage portfolio represents the outstanding principal amounts of notes receivable reduced by discounts and/or deferred gains. The primary forms of collateral on all notes receivable are real estate and ownership interests in entities that own real property, and may include borrower personal guarantees. The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of both accrued interest on and principal of its notes receivable to determine whether they are impaired. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms of the loan. The Company also considers loan modifications as possible indicators of impairment, although all modifications during the two years ended December 31, 2005 have been at the Company’s request for business purposes and not as a result of debtor financial difficulties. When a mortgage loan is considered to be impaired, the Company establishes a valuation allowance equal to the difference between

65



a) the carrying value of the loan, and b) the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan at its effective interest rate, or at the estimated fair value of the real estate collateralizing the loan. Income on impaired loans, including interest, and the recognition of deferred gains and unamortized discounts, is recognized only as cash is received. The Company currently has no loans that are impaired according to their terms as modified.

C. Sale of Real Estate – Presidential complies with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. Accordingly, the gains on certain transactions have been deferred and are being recognized on the installment method until such transactions have complied with the criteria for full profit recognition. At December 31, 2005, all deferred gains have been recognized.

D. Discounts on Notes Receivable – Presidential assigned discounted values to long-term notes received from the sales of properties to reflect the difference between the stated interest rates on the notes and market interest rates at the time of acceptance. Such discounts are being amortized using the interest method.

E. Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Presidential Realty Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements include 100% of the account balances of UTB Associates, a partnership in which Presidential is the general partner and owns a 75% interest (see Note 9).

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

F. Investments in Unconsolidated Partnerships and Joint Ventures – The Company has equity investments in partnerships and joint ventures. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting because although it may exercise significant control over some of these entities, it does not control these entities. These investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of each entity’s income or loss and adjusted for cash contributions or distributions. Real estate held by such entities is regularly reviewed for impairment, and would be written down to its estimated fair value if impairment were determined to exist. See Notes 5 and 8.

G. Rental Revenue Recognition – The Company acts as lessor under operating leases. Rental revenue is recorded on the accrual method.

66



Recognition of rental revenue is generally discontinued when the rental is delinquent for ninety days or more, or earlier if management determines that collection is doubtful.

H. Net Income Per Share – Basic net income per share data is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options outstanding. The dilutive effect of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. As of November 10, 2005, all outstanding stock options were either exercised or expired (see Note 17).

I. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in banks and money market funds.

J. Benefits – The Company follows SFAS Nos. 87, 106 and 132 in accounting for pension and postretirement benefits (see Notes 18 and 19).

K. Management Estimates – The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of income and expense for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

L. Accounting for Stock Options – The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and elected to continue to account for employee stock-based compensation as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The Company has not granted any stock options in the last two years and no further options will be granted (see Note 17). For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, there would have been no additional compensation expense if the Company had applied the fair value based method of accounting to its existing options because all options were vested.

M. Discontinued Operations – The Company complies with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that the

67



results of operations, including impairment, gains and losses related to the properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold be presented as discontinued operations in the statements of operations for all periods presented and the assets and liabilities of properties intended to be sold are to be separately classified on the balance sheet. Properties designated as held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell and are not depreciated.

N. Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In December of 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

O. New Accounting Pronouncements – In December of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, (Revised 2004) – “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, which the Company previously adopted. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first interim and annual reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March of 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 clarifies that the term “Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation” refers to a legal obligation (pursuant to existing law or contract) to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset

68



retirement obligation. The Company adopted FIN 47 as required effective December 31, 2005, and the initial application of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In May of 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3”. SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June of 2005, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights”. EITF Issue No. 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner controls, and should consolidate, a limited partnership or a similar entity. It became effective for all newly formed limited partnerships and for any pre-existing limited partnerships that modify their partnership agreements after June 29, 2005. General partners of all other limited partnerships will apply the consensus no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-5 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

P. Reclassification – Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to discontinued operations in order to conform with the 2005 presentation.

Prepayments, Payoffs and Modifications

On March 9, 2005, the Company received prepayment of its $8,550,000 Encore Apartments note receivable which was due to mature on April 30, 2009. As a result of the prepayment of this note, the Company recognized a $3,241,540 gain from the sale of the property, which had previously been deferred. The long-term capital gain for tax purposes, which was being recognized on the installment method, was approximately $5,548,000.

In connection with the prepayment, the Company received an additional interest payment of $171,000, a prepayment fee of $256,500 and other fees of $25,000.

Under the terms of the Mark Terrace note, the borrower has annual options to extend the maturity date from November 29, 2005 to November 29, 2008 at an interest rate of 9.16% per annum until maturity. In October, 2005, the borrower exercised its first annual option to extend the maturity date of the note to November 29, 2006. As a result, the Company will receive a principal payment of $100,000 in 2006. If the borrower exercises its remaining options to extend the note, the Company will receive additional principal payments of $100,000 on each of November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2005, the note is collateralized by 85 unsold cooperative apartments at the Mark Terrace property. As apartments are sold, the Company receives principal payments ranging from $20,000 to $35,000 per unit depending upon the size of the unit. During 2005 and 2004, the Company received $110,000 and $235,000, respectively, in principal payments on the Mark Terrace note and the balance of the note at December 31, 2005 was $590,000.

In December, 2004, the Company accepted prepayment of $3,000,000 on three of its notes and released its security interest in one of the three New Jersey properties collateralizing the notes. The Company agreed to accept prepayment so that it could use the amounts prepaid to fund a portion of the new $7,500,000 mezzanine loan which it made on December 23, 2004 secured by ownership interests in two shopping malls. The $3,000,000 prepayment was allocated to repayment of loans previously made in the amounts of $1,100,000 and $1,775,000, with the remaining $125,000 amount allocated to the Fairfield Towers loan. The $3,875,000 outstanding principal amount of the Fairfield Towers loan remains collateralized by the two New Jersey properties and by the borrower’s personal guarantee up to the maximum amount of $1,647,500. In November, 2005, this loan was further collateralized by ownership interests in the entities owning Pinewood Chase Apartments in Suitland, Maryland, Reisterstown Apartments in

73



Baltimore, Maryland and Plaza Village Apartments in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. In addition, these ownership interests further collateralize a $1,500,000 loan. The additional collateral was added in exchange for permitting the borrower to refinance the existing first mortgages on the original collateral properties.

In October, 2004, the Company received prepayment of its $6,000,000 Newcastle Apartments note receivable which was due to mature on July 31, 2006. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $2,991,850 which had been previously deferred. In connection with the prepayment, the Company received a prepayment fee of $60,000.

On January 26, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Farrington Apartments property in Clearwater, Florida for a sales price of $9,325,966, of which $1,720,000 was paid in cash and the $7,605,966 balance was paid by the assumption by the purchaser of the first mortgage on the property. In connection with the closing, Presidential gave the purchaser a $300,000 credit against the purchase price for hurricane damage sustained by the property prior to closing and retained the insurance proceeds of $260,405. The loss from the sale for financial reporting purposes was $11,580.

On April 4, 2005, the Company consummated the sale of its Fairlawn Gardens property in Martinsburg, West Virginia for a sales price of $3,500,000, pursuant to a contract of sale, as amended, executed in February, 2005. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the $1,411,670 outstanding principal balance of the first mortgage, prepayment fees and other closing expenses, were $1,906,896. Prior to closing, in March, 2005, the Company received $707,588 of insurance proceeds resulting from fire damage to sixteen apartments at the property in 2004 and applied those proceeds to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance of the first mortgage prior to the sale. In November, 2005, the Company received $167,846 of additional insurance proceeds related to the same fire and these

75



proceeds were included in the gain on the sale of the property. The gain on sale for financial reporting purposes was $2,434,789. The gain for Federal income tax purposes resulting from this transaction is $2,436,859 and is being treated by the Company as a gain resulting from an involuntary conversion of property under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the gain will be deferred pursuant to the provisions of Section 1033.

On June 29, 2004, the Company consummated the sale of its Continental Gardens property in Miami, Florida for a sales price of $21,500,000. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the $7,543,612 first mortgage loan and prepayment penalty of $919,522, brokerage fees of $411,610 and other expenses of sale of $498,639, were $12,126,617, all of which was used to purchase an exchange property pursuant to a tax-free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (see Note 5). The gain from sale for financial reporting purposes was $11,008,520.

In February, 2004, as a result of continuing operating losses at Preston Lake Apartments in Tucker, Georgia, the Company decided not to make the monthly payment due February 1, 2004 on the first mortgage note secured by the property. The outstanding principal balance of the mortgage debt on February 1, 2004 was $13,595,028. The mortgage note was nonrecourse and the Company had no personal liability for repayment of the indebtedness. The holder of the first mortgage commenced foreclosure proceedings and Presidential consented to the appointment of a receiver for the property and did not contest the foreclosure sale. On May 4, 2004, the property was sold in a foreclosure sale by the holder of the first mortgage. The Company recorded a gain on the foreclosure sale for financial reporting purposes of $248,697.

In the first quarter of 2004, the Company sold three cooperative apartment units which were located in the New York metropolitan area. The gain from the sales of those apartments for financial reporting purposes was $913,945 and the net cash proceeds of the sales were $1,015,828.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to sell the Cambridge Green property, a 201-unit apartment property in Council Bluffs, Iowa. For the year ended December 31, 2005, gross revenues were $1,043,671 and loss from operations was $472,997 (which includes depreciation expense of $160,257). At December 31, 2005, the carrying value of the property was $2,718,244 (net of accumulated depreciation of $1,634,554) and the outstanding mortgage balance was $2,917,285. The interest rate on the mortgage is 6.65%

76



per annum and the mortgage matures in October, 2029. The Company estimates that the fair value less costs to sell are in excess of the carrying value of the property.

The combined assets and liabilities of the Farrington Apartments and the Fairlawn Gardens properties at December 31, 2004 and the assets and liabilities of the Cambridge Green property at December 31, 2005 are segregated in the consolidated balance sheets.

As a result of the Company’s use of the equity method of accounting with respect to its investments in and advances to the joint

80



ventures, the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 reflects 29% of the income (loss) of the joint ventures. The equity in the loss of joint ventures of $880,685 for the year ended December 31, 2005, is after deductions in the aggregate amount of $3,967,231 for the Company’s 29% of noncash charges (depreciation of $2,256,368, amortization of deferred financing costs of $463,513 and amortization of in-place lease values of $1,247,350). Notwithstanding the income (loss) from the joint ventures, the Company is entitled to receive its interest at the rate of 11% per annum on its $25,600,000 of loans to the joint ventures. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company received distributions from the joint ventures in the amount of $2,505,239, which included payments of interest in the amount of $2,171,889 and return on investment in the amount of $333,350.

The equity in the loss of joint ventures of $108,833 for the year ended December 31, 2004, is after deductions in the aggregate amount of $616,830 for the Company’s 29% of noncash charges (depreciation of $287,970, amortization of deferred financing costs of $86,420 and amortization of in-place lease values of $242,440). The equity in the loss of joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2004, was for the period September 10, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company received distributions from joint ventures in the amount of $168,178 all of which were interest payments received on the outstanding loans to the joint ventures.

The Lightstone Group is controlled by David Lichtenstein. At December 31, 2005, in addition to Presidential’s investments of $23,291,133 in these joint ventures with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein, Presidential has three loans that are due from entities that are controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $9,875,000 with a net carrying value of $9,122,683. Some, but not all, of these loans are guaranteed in whole or in part by Mr. Lichtenstein and all of such loans are in good standing. While the Company believes that all of these loans are adequately secured, a default on some or all of these loans could have a material adverse effect on Presidential’s business and operating results.

The $32,413,816 net carrying value of investments in and advances to joint ventures with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein and loans outstanding to entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein constitute 71% of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2005.

6. OTHER INVESTMENTS

On May 24, 2005, the Company invested $1,000,000 with Broadway Real Estate Partners, LLC (“Broadway Partners”), which money is being held in escrow pending investment into Pickwick Preferred Equity Lender LLC (“Pickwick”). While the money is being held in escrow, the Company received interest payments at the rate of 8% per annum from May 24, 2005 through May 31, 2005 and at the rate of 11.43% per annum thereafter. The $1,000,000 is scheduled to be invested in Pickwick in 2006. The Company earned interest income of $68,395 in 2005, of which $9,525 was accrued at December 31, 2005.

When the investment in Pickwick is made, the Company will own a 12.05% interest in a limited liability company whose sole asset is an $8,300,000 note receivable secured by certain ownership interests in an office building in Greenwich, Connecticut. Presidential is entitled to receive $9,525 of interest per month on its investment and when the $8,300,000 loan is repaid, Presidential will receive $974,335 in full liquidation of its investment.

Presidential also has agreed to invest $1,000,000 in Broadway Partners Parallel Fund A, a blind pool of investment capital sponsored by Broadway Partners, through redemption of its membership interest in Pickwick. Presidential’s commitment will be called on from time to time by Broadway Partners as it requires funds to make real estate investments. However, Presidential has the right, provided it gives written notice within seven days of such request, to fund its obligations from other capital resources. At December 31, 2005, Presidential had advanced $495,000 of its commitment from its own capital resources and the balance of Presidential’s commitment was $505,000. The Company accounts for this investment at cost.

7. MORTGAGE DEBT

All mortgage debt is secured by individual properties. The $2,347,364 mortgage on the Crown Court property in New Haven, Connecticut is nonrecourse to the Company, whereas the $1,154,451 mortgage on the Building Industries Center property in White Plains, New York and the $145,788 mortgage on the Mapletree Industrial Center property in Palmer, Massachusetts are recourse to Presidential.

8. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM PARTNERSHIP IN EXCESS OF INVESTMENT AND EARNINGS

PDL, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential) is the general partner of PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”). The Home Mortgage Partnership owns and operates an office building in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. Presidential and PDL, Inc. have an aggregate 33% general and limited partner interest in Home Mortgage Partnership at December 31, 2005. This percentage has increased since the 31% owned at December 31, 2003 as a result of the acquisition of an additional 1% interest in August, 2004 for a purchase price of $73,000 and the acquisition of an additional 1% interest in March, 2005 for a purchase price of $65,000. The Company accounts for its investment in this partnership under the equity method, because it exercises significant influence, but not control, over the partnership’s affairs.

The Company’s interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership has a negative basis and therefore is classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, under the caption

83



“distributions from partnership in excess of investment and earnings”. The negative basis is solely due to the refinancing of the mortgage on the property owned by the partnership and the distribution of the proceeds to the partners in excess of their investment in prior years, and not due to partnership operating losses.

Net income of the Home Mortgage Partnership decreased during 2005 as a result of two tenants vacating a total of 52,088 square feet of office space at the expiration of their leases. Subsequent to year end another tenant vacated 30,299 square feet of office space. In

84



addition, the Home Mortgage Partnership has decided to undertake a program of repairs and improvements to the building that is expected to cost approximately $1,255,000. The Company has agreed to lend up to $1,000,000 to the Home Mortgage Partnership (and has the right to lend an additional $1,000,000) to pay for the cost of improvements to the building and fund any negative cash flows from the operation of the property. The loan, which will be advanced from time to time as funds are needed, will bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum, with interest and principal to be paid out of the first positive cash flow from the property or upon a refinancing of the first mortgage on the property.

9. MINORITY INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIP

Presidential is the general partner of UTB Associates, a partnership in which Presidential has a 75% interest. As the general partner of UTB Associates, Presidential exercises control over this partnership through its ability to manage the affairs of the partnership in the ordinary course of business, including the ability to approve the partnership’s budgets, and through its significant equity interest. Accordingly, Presidential consolidates this partnership in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The minority interest reflects the minority partners’ equity in the partnership.

10. LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has an unsecured $250,000 line of credit from a lending institution. The interest rate on the line of credit is 1% above the prime rate. There were no borrowings under this line of credit during 2005 and there are no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2005.

11. INCOME TAXES

Presidential has elected to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code. A REIT which distributes at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its shareholders each year by the end of the following year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders.

Upon filing the Company’s income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2004, Presidential applied all of its available 2004 stockholders’ distributions and further elected to apply (under Section 858 of the Internal Revenue Code) approximately $131,000 of

85



its year 2005 stockholders’ distributions to reduce its taxable income for 2004 to zero.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had taxable income (before distributions to stockholders) of approximately $4,035,000 ($1.04 per share), which is comprised of capital gains of $6,151,000 ($1.59 per share) and an ordinary loss of $2,116,000 ($.55 per share). This taxable income will be reduced by the $2,331,000 ($.60 per share) of its 2005 distributions that were not utilized in reducing the Company’s 2004 taxable income. In addition, the Company may elect to apply any eligible year 2006 distributions to reduce its 2005 taxable income.

As previously stated, in order to maintain REIT status, Presidential is required to distribute 90% of its REIT taxable income (exclusive of capital gains). As a result of the ordinary tax loss for 2005, there is no requirement to make a distribution in 2006. In addition, although no assurances can be given, the Company currently expects that it will not have to pay Federal income taxes for 2005 because its present intention is to distribute all of its 2005 taxable income (including capital gain) during 2005 and 2006. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made at December 31, 2005.

Presidential has, for tax purposes, reported the gain from the sale of certain of its properties using the installment method.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Presidential has a commitment to invest $505,000 in Broadway Partners Parallel Fund A (see Note 6).

In addition, Presidential has a commitment to lend up to $1,000,000 to the Home Mortgage Partnership (see Note 8).

Presidential is not a party to any material legal proceedings. The Company may from time to time be a party to routine litigation incidental to the ordinary course of its business.

In the opinion of management, all of the Company’s properties are adequately covered by insurance in accordance with normal insurance practices. The Company is not aware of any environmental issues at any of its properties. The presence of hazardous substances at any of its properties could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

86



13. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of its mortgage portfolio and cash and cash equivalents.

The Company’s mortgage portfolio consists of long-term notes receivable collateralized by real estate located in seven states (primarily Virginia, New Jersey and Maryland). The real estate collateralizing these notes, consisting primarily of moderate income apartment properties and, to a lesser extent, cooperative apartment units, has at a minimum an estimated fair value equal to the net carrying value of the notes.

Included in the mortgage portfolio at December 31, 2005 are three collateralized loans made to different companies, all of which are controlled by the same individual, David Lichtenstein. Some, but not all, of these loans, are guaranteed in whole or in part by Mr. Lichtenstein. The aggregate net carrying value of all of the outstanding loans made by Presidential to companies controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein is approximately $9,123,000 and all of such loans are in good standing. In addition, the Company has invested a total of $27,038,410 with entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein in transactions relating to seven shopping mall properties in 2004 and two shopping mall properties in 2005. In 2005, the Company purchased, and is the beneficiary of, a $20,000,000 insurance policy on Mr. Lichtenstein’s life.

Furthermore, the $105,000,000 nonrecourse first mortgage loan secured by five of the shopping mall properties and the $39,500,000 nonrecourse first mortgage loan secured by two of the shopping mall properties carry interest rates which change monthly based on the London Interbank Offered Rate and mature in October, 2006 and January, 2007, respectively, subject to the borrower’s right to extend the maturity dates for three additional one year terms. As a result, any material increase in interest rates could adversely affect the operating results of the joint ventures and their ability to make the required interest payments on the Company’s $8,600,000 and $7,500,000 mezzanine loans to those entities. The interest rate on the first mortgages secured by the Martinsburg Mall and the Four Malls in fact increased from 5.70% per annum at December 31, 2004 to 7.98% per annum at December 31, 2005 and the interest rate on the first mortgages secured by the Shawnee/Brazos Malls increased from 4.90% per annum at December 31, 2004 to 7.18% per annum at December 31, 2005. The Company believes that these first mortgages will

87



either be extended in accordance with their terms or refinanced prior to the maturity date of their initial terms.

The Company generally maintains its cash in money market funds with high credit quality financial institutions. Periodically, the Company may invest in time deposits with such institutions. Although the Company may maintain balances at these institutions in excess of the FDIC insurance limit, the Company does not anticipate and has not experienced any losses.

14. COMMON STOCK

The Class A and Class B common stock of Presidential have identical rights except that the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to elect two-thirds of the Board of Directors and the holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to elect one-third of the Board of Directors.

Other than as described in Note 16 and Note 17, no shares of common stock of Presidential are reserved.

16. STOCK COMPENSATION

On June 15, 2005, shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2005 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provides that a total of 115,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock may be issued to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, to provide incentive compensation. The 2005 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Pension Committees of the Company’s Board of Directors, which have the authority, among other things, to determine the terms and conditions of any award under the 2005 Plan (including the vesting schedule applicable to the award, if any). The Board of Directors may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan will terminate on June 15, 2015, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors.

88



In July, 2005, three independent directors of the Company each received 1,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock as partial payment for directors’ fees for the 2005 year. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded an amount for directors’ fees based on the $8.35 per share market value of the Class B common stock at the grant date. The Company recorded additions to the Company’s Class B common stock of $300 at par value of $.10 per share and $24,750 was added to additional paid-in capital.

In addition, in August, 2005, an executive of the Company was awarded 11,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, of which 10,000 were granted and accrued for in 2004 and 1,000 were granted in 2005 (subject to shareholder approval of the 2005 Plan). The 10,000 shares were valued at $7.51 per share and the 1,000 shares were valued at $9.04 per share, which were the respective market values of the Class B common stock at the grant date. Accordingly, the Company recorded salary expense of $9,040 in 2005 and $75,100 in 2004. In 2005, the Company recorded additions to the Company’s Class B common stock of $1,100 at par value of $.10 per share and $83,040 to additional paid-in capital.

17. STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 1999, the Company adopted a Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Stock Option Plan”). The 1999 Stock Option Plan provided that options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock may be issued prior to December 31, 2003 to the Company’s key employees at exercise prices equal to the market value on the date the option is granted. On November 10, 1999, options to purchase a total of 60,000 shares were granted to three of the Company’s officers at an exercise price of $6.375 per share. On November 9, 2005, 24,000 of the options were exercised and the Company received $153,000. The Company recorded additions to the Company’s Class B common stock of $2,400 at par value of $.10 per

89



share and $150,600 was added to additional paid-in capital. The remaining 36,000 options were not exercised and expired on November 10, 2005. No other options have been granted, exercised or cancelled under this plan and no further options can be granted under this plan.

18. CONTRACTUAL PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Presidential has employment contracts with several active and retired officers and employees. These contracts provide for annual pension benefits and other postretirement benefits such as health care benefits. The pension benefits generally provide for annual payments in specified amounts for each participant for life, commencing upon retirement, with an annual adjustment for an increase in the consumer price index. The Company accrues on an actuarial basis the estimated costs of these benefits during the years the employee provides services. Periodic benefit costs are reflected in general and administrative expenses. The contractual benefit plans are not funded. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the contractual benefit plans.

The assumed health care cost trend rate at December 31, 2005 was 10.50% for medical and 14% for prescription drugs, decreasing gradually each successive year until it reaches 5% by the year 2017.

The following tables summarize the actuarial costs of the contractual pension and postretirement benefits:

19. DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which covers substantially all of its employees. The plan provides monthly retirement benefits commencing at age 65. The monthly benefit is equal to the sum of (1) 7.15% of average monthly compensation multiplied by the total number of plan years of service (up to a maximum of 10 years), plus (2) .62% of such average monthly compensation in excess of one-twelfth of covered compensation multiplied by the total number of plan years of service (up to a maximum of 10 years). The Company makes annual contributions that meet the minimum funding requirements and the maximum contribution limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. Periodic pension costs

are reflected in general and administrative expenses. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the plan.

The Company periodically reviews its assumptions for the rate of return on the plan’s assets. The assumptions are based primarily on the long-term historical performance of the assets of the plan. Differences in the rates of return in the near term are recognized as gains or losses in the period that they occur.

20. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

Presidential maintains a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, stockholders may reinvest cash dividends and make optional cash payments to purchase Class B common stock without incurring any brokerage commission or service charge. Additionally, the price of Class B common stock purchased with reinvested cash dividends will be discounted by 5% from the average of the high and low market prices of the five days immediately prior to the dividend payment date, as reported on the American Stock Exchange.

Class B Common Shares issued under the Plan are summarized below:

The Company is delinquent in its federal securities law filing obligations because it has not filed the required financial information as an Exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K with respect to its investment in five shopping mall properties in September, 2004. The financial information relates to operations of the properties for calendar year 2003 and the nine months ended September, 2004 prior to the Company’s investment in the properties. The Company was unable to obtain the financial information from the seller of

96



the properties. This delinquency will be cured with the filing of the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, which includes audited financial statements for the properties for the period from the acquisition of the Company’s interest in the properties until December 31, 2005. During the period of delinquency in its filing obligations, Presidential’s dividend reinvestment plan for its Class B Common Stock continued pursuant to the terms of its Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan but shareholders were not able to make optional cash payments to acquire shares under the Plan. Since the delinquency will be cured upon the filing of the Form 10-KSB, shareholders will once again be able to purchase additional shares under the terms of the Plan.

21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the exercise of stock options in November, 1999, the Company loaned $367,500 in the aggregate to three of its officers to pay for the purchase of the stock. The recourse notes, secured by the stock, bore interest at 8% per annum, payable quarterly, and the principal was repaid in 2004 prior to the maturity date of November 30, 2004. Presidential recognized interest income on these notes of $14,636 during 2004.

As shown in Note 3, the Company holds nonrecourse purchase money notes receivable from Ivy, relating to properties sold to Ivy in prior years, as well as nonrecourse notes receivable relating to loans made to Ivy in connection with Ivy’s former cooperative conversion business. In the aggregate, the loans receivable from Ivy had a carrying amount of $271,073 as of December 31, 2005, and a net carrying amount of $209,287, after deducting discounts. Presidential received interest of $385,476 and $585,327 from Ivy during 2005 and 2004, respectively, on these loans.

In addition, in 2005 and 2004, Presidential recognized $1,497 and $10,690, respectively, of income representing the amortization of discounts on notes receivable.

Two of the notes have an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $4,770,050 at December 31, 2005. These notes were received by the Company in 1991 for nonrecourse loans that had been previously written off by the Company. Accordingly, these notes were recorded at zero except for a $155,584 portion of the notes that was adequately secured and which was repaid in 2002. In 1996, the Company and Ivy agreed that the only payments required under the terms of the note would be in an amount equal to 25% of the operating cash flow (after provision for certain reserves) of

97



Scorpio Entertainment, Inc. (“Scorpio”), a company owned by two of the owners of Ivy. Scorpio acts as a producer of theatrical productions. The Company received interest payments on these notes of $354,000 and $548,750 during 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company does not expect to recover any material principal amounts on these notes; amounts received from Scorpio will be applied to unpaid, unaccrued interest and recognized as income when received. At December 31, 2005, the unpaid and unaccrued interest was $3,103,816.

All outstanding loans to Ivy at December 31, 2005 are current in accordance with their modified terms. Management believes that Presidential holds sufficient collateral to protect its interests in the loans that remain outstanding from Ivy to the extent of the net carrying value of these loans.

The loans to Ivy were subject to various settlement agreements and modifications in previous years. Ivy is owned by three officers of the Company, who also hold beneficial ownership of an aggregate of approximately 47% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock of the Company, which class of stock is entitled to elect two-thirds of the Board of Directors of the Company. Because of the relationship between the owners of Ivy and the Company, all transactions with Ivy are negotiated on behalf of the Company, and subject to approval, by a committee of three members of the Board of Directors with no affiliations with the owners of Ivy.

22. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been determined using available market information and various valuation estimation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the effects on fair value of such items as future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Also, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.

Net carrying value is net of discounts and deferred gains where applicable.

The fair value estimates presented above are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since December 31, 2005 and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented above.

Fair value methods and assumptions are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The estimated fair value approximates carrying value, due to the short maturity of these investments.

Notes Receivable – The fair value of notes receivable has been estimated by discounting projected cash flows using current rates for similar notes receivable.

Mortgage Debt – The fair value of mortgage debt has been estimated by discounting projected cash flows using current rates for similar debt.

23. FUTURE MINIMUM ANNUAL BASE RENTS

The above table assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed and tenant renewal options are not exercised, therefore neither renewal rentals nor rentals from replacement tenants are included. The above table does not reflect the annual base rental revenue for residential apartments owned, as the leases for residential apartment units are usually for one year terms.

Net income for the first quarter of 2005 includes a provision for income taxes of $1,941,661 which reduced the recognition of the deferred gain on sale of properties. In March, the Company received payment on its $8,550,000 Encore Apartment notes receivable and recognized a $3,241,540 gain from the sale of property, which had previously been deferred. The tax accrual of $1,941,661 was based on management’s intention, at that time, to retain all of the $5,548,000 taxable long-term capital gain from the sale and declare an undistributed capital gain dividend. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company made the decision not to designate and retain this gain, thereby reversing the tax accrual, which increased the recognition of deferred gain on sales of properties from $1,299,879 to $3,241,540. This increase was offset by an increase of $986,165 in loss from continuing operations before recognition of deferred gains on sales and a $197,238 increase in the loss from discontinued operations.

 

 

(3)

Net income for the second quarter of 2004 includes the recognition of a gain of $11,008,520 from the sale of the Continental Gardens property.

25. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Subsequent to year end, the Company received a partial prepayment on one of the loans outstanding to entities controlled by Mr. Lichtenstein. The Company has a $4,500,000 loan secured by ownership interests in entities owning nine apartment properties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The first mortgages on these properties were refinanced and Presidential received $2,425,006 of net refinancing proceeds in repayment of a portion of its loan principal and $215,750 in payment of the deferred interest to date, leaving an outstanding principal balance of $2,074,994.
