PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. General - Presidential Realty Corporation ("Presidential" or the "Company"),
a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), is engaged principally in the holding
of notes and mortgages secured by real estate and in the ownership of income
producing real estate.
B. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Presidential Realty Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
include 100% of the account balances of UTB Associates and PDL, Inc. and
Associates Limited Co-Partnership ("Metmor Plaza Associates"), partnerships in
which Presidential is the General Partner.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
C. Earnings Per Common Share - Per share data is based on the weighted average
number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding and common
stock equivalents during each period.
D. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the respective periods
have been reflected. These financial statements and accompanying notes should
be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996.
E. Management Estimates - In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated
balance sheets and income and expense for the period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
F. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - The Financial Accounting
Standards Board has recently issued several new accounting pronouncements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share,
and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure"
establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital
structure. These two standards will be applied by the Company in the fourth
quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. These two standards will be applied by
the Company in its 1998 financial statements.
Management of the Company does not believe that these new standards will have
a material effect on the Company's reported operating results, per share
amounts, financial position or cash flows.
2. MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO
The Company's mortgage portfolio includes notes receivable - sold properties
and notes receivable - related parties and includes both accrual and impaired
loans.
Notes receivable - sold properties consist of:
(1) Long-term purchase money notes from sales of properties previously owned by
the Company. These purchase money notes have varying interest rates with
balloon payments due at maturity. Also included in this category is the
Fairfield Towers First Mortgage which the Company purchased in the fourth
quarter of 1996.
(2) Notes receivable from sales of cooperative apartment units. Substantially
all of these notes were either received from Ivy Properties, Ltd. or its
affiliates (collectively "Ivy") in connection with a settlement agreement
between the Company and Ivy executed in November, 1991 (the "Settlement
Agreement") or from sales of foreclosed cooperative apartments received from
Ivy pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (see Note 4). These notes generally
have market interest rates and the majority of these notes amortize monthly
with balloon payments due at maturity.
Notes receivable - related parties are all due from Ivy and consist of:
(1) Purchase money notes resulting from sales of property or partnership
interests to Ivy.
(2) Notes receivable relating to loans made by the Company to Ivy in connection
with Ivy's cooperative conversion business.
In January, 1997, the Company modified its Woodland notes receivable, extending
the maturity date from 2000 to 2005, with interest rates increasing in 2002
from 9% to 9.25%. In March, 1997, the Company received prepayment of its
$1,074,200 Cedarbrooke note receivable resulting in the recognition of income
from the amortization of discount of $382,796 and recognition of a deferred
gain on sale of $472,497. In addition, in March and May, 1997, the Company
advanced an additional $600,018 and $2,400,000, respectively, on the Fairfield
Towers First Mortgage to the owners of the unsold condominium units to be used
for payment of a portion of the unpaid real estate taxes (and interest accrued
thereon) on these condominium units (see Note 8). In July, 1997, the Company
modified its $1,175,500 Woodgate note receivable, reducing the maturity date
from 2015 to 2007, with interest rates of 8.25% through 1999 and 9.25%
thereafter.
In September of 1997, the Company extended and modified its $6,250,000
Presidential Park note receivable. This note, which had previously been
modified and extended in August of 1994 and which was due to mature on July 31,
2001, was extended until July 31, 2006. The interest rate will remain at 6%
per annum through July 31, 1999. Thereafter, the interest rate will be at a
rate equal to two hundred basis points in excess of the yield on specified
Treasury bills, but not less than 7-1/2% per annum from August 1, 1999 through
July 31, 2001. From August 1, 2001 through maturity the interest rate will be
at a rate equal to one hundred fifty basis points in excess of the yield on
specified Treasury bills. In connection with the current modification, the
borrower made a $100,000 principal payment on the note reducing the outstanding
principal balance to $6,150,000.
At September 30, 1997, all of the notes in the Company's mortgage portfolio are
current with the exception of the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage (sold
properties) and the Overlook loan (related parties), which are classified as
impaired loans. These two loans are in the aggregate amount of $16,087,838 and
have a net carrying value of $1,404,764 after deducting discounts of $7,701,567
and deferred gains of $6,981,507. The Company has determined that no
allowances for credit losses are required for these loans because the net
carrying value of these loans is less than the fair value of the underlying
collateral. The Company recognizes income on the impaired loans only to the
extent that such income is actually received. The average recorded investment
in impaired loans during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September
30, 1996 was $16,162,040 and $16,592,845, respectively.
There have been no significant changes in the status of the impaired loans
since December 31, 1996. Condominium sales at the Fairfield Towers property
have continued and an additional 17 units were sold during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
The following table reflects the activity in impaired loans:

4. FORECLOSED PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1996, Presidential owned 53 cooperative apartment units which
it had received from Ivy in satisfaction of certain loans due Presidential.
These cooperative apartment units are located at four locations: Towne House,
New Rochelle, N.Y. (39 units); 6300 Riverdale Avenue, Bronx, N.Y. (8 units);
Sherwood House, Long Beach, N.Y. (3 units) and 330 W. 72nd St., New York, N.Y.
(3 units).
At December 31, 1996, these cooperative apartment units were reported as
foreclosed properties on Presidential's consolidated balance sheet. The
Company now intends to hold these cooperative apartment units as rental
property and, accordingly, reclassified them from foreclosed properties to
real estate effective January 1, 1997.
The net carrying value of the foreclosed properties reclassified to real estate
on January 1, 1997 was as follows:
Towne House $404,337
6300 Riverdale Avenue 76,196
Sherwood House 59,246
330 W. 72nd Street 48,904
--------
Total net carrying value $588,683
========
Loss from operations of foreclosed properties for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 consisted of the following:
Towne House $ 2,081
6300 Riverdale Avenue 11,996
Sherwood House 4,936
Hastings Gardens (1) 8,357
-------
Total loss $27,370
=======
(1) The cooperative apartments at Hastings Gardens, Hastings, N.Y. were sold in
September, 1996 resulting in a gain of $22,490.
5. MINORITY PARTNERS' INTEREST
Presidential is the General Partner of UTB Associates and Metmor Plaza
Associates, partnerships in which in 1996 Presidential had a 66-2/3% interest
and a 25% interest, respectively. In January, 1997, Presidential acquired an
additional 1% interest in Metmor Plaza Associates for a purchase price of
$60,000, which increased its interest in this partnership to 26%. As the
General Partner of these partnerships, Presidential exercises effective control
over the business of these partnerships, and, accordingly, has included 100% of
the account balances of these partnerships in the accompanying financial
statements. The minority partners' interest reflects the minority partners'
equity in the partnerships.
Included in the Company's mortgage debt is a mortgage note payable by the
Metmor Plaza Associates partnership which is substantially in excess of the
historical cost of the property. This was due to a refinancing of the original
mortgage note on the building and subsequent distribution of these proceeds to
the partners. This event resulted in a negative partnership interest for each
partner and a negative minority partners' interest on the Company's books. The
estimated fair value of the building is significantly greater than the mortgage
debt and the minority partners' interest is expected to be recovered when the
building is sold and the partnership is liquidated.
Minority partners' interest is comprised of the following:
September 30, December 31,
1997 1996
------------- ------------
Metmor Plaza Associates $3,983,589 $4,036,858
UTB Associates (188,377) (206,834)
---------- ----------
Total minority partners' interest $3,795,212 $3,830,024
========== ==========
6. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The Company's investments are in marketable equity securities consisting of
stocks of listed corporations. The Company does not acquire securities for
purposes of engaging in trading activities and, as a result, the Company's
investments are classified as securities available for sale in accordance with
SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Disposition of such securities may be appropriate for either
liquidity management or in response to changing economic conditions.
The cost and fair value of securities available for sale are as follows:
September 30, December 31,
1997 1996
------------ ------------
Cost $374,610 $926,194
Gross unrealized gains 40,586 71,033

7. MORTGAGE DEBT
In July, 1997, the Company completed the refinancing of the mortgage on its
Continental Gardens property. The existing mortgage of $7,771,546 was repaid
from the proceeds of a new $8,120,000 mortgage. The new mortgage bears
interest at the rate of 8.16% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal
and interest of $60,490 and matures in August, 2007 with a $7,158,323 balloon
payment due at maturity.
8. NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK
The Company obtained an $8,650,000 bank loan in the fourth quarter of 1996 from
Fleet Bank, N.A. ("Fleet") in connection with the purchase of the Fairfield
Towers First Mortgage. The note, which matures on October 30, 2001, is secured
by a collateral assignment of the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage and is
nonrecourse to Presidential except for a limited guarantee, the amount of
which reduces as the principal balance is reduced. This limited guarantee was
$1,434,514 at September 30, 1997. The interest rate is variable and is based
at the Company's election on either the bank's prime rate plus 1%, a cost of
funds rate plus 3%, or various LIBOR rates plus 3%. The note amortizes monthly
based on a 9.25% interest rate for a 25 year term. In addition, upon the sale
of condominium units, the Company is required to make principal payments to
Fleet in an amount equal to the amount of principal payments received by the
Company on the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage. In March and May, 1997, the
Company received additional advances of $600,018 and $1,899,982, respectively,
on this loan from Fleet. These advances were obtained to substantially
reimburse the Company for its $600,018 and $2,400,000 advances on the Fairfield
Towers First Mortgage (see Note 2). At September 30, 1997 payments on the
Fleet note payable were current. The outstanding note balance at September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was $10,663,224 and $8,642,600, respectively.
In January, 1997, the Company obtained a $250,000 line of credit from Citibank,
N.A. The interest rate is 1% above the prime rate and the line of credit
expires in January, 1998. Presidential paid a 1% annual fee for the line of
credit. At September 30, 1997, no advances are outstanding on this line of
credit.
9. INCOME TAXES
Presidential elected to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust effective
January 1, 1982 under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under
those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 95% 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,
1996, Presidential applied its available 1996 stockholders' distributions and
elected to apply (under Section 858 of the Internal Revenue Code) all but
approximately $557,000 of its 1997 stockholders' distributions to reduce its
taxable income for 1996 to zero.
Furthermore, the Company had taxable income (before distributions to
stockholders) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 of approximately
$2,094,000 ($.59 per share), which included approximately $1,378,000 ($.39 per
share) of capital gains. This amount will be reduced by the $557,000 of its
1997 distributions that were not utilized in reducing the Company's 1996
taxable income and by any eligible 1998 distributions that the Company may
elect to utilize as a reduction of its 1997 taxable income.
Presidential intends to continue to maintain its REIT status and although no
assurances can be given at this time, the Company expects that it will not have
to pay Federal income taxes for 1997 because its present intention is to
distribute all of its 1997 taxable income during 1997 and 1998. Therefore, no
provision for income tax has been made at September 30, 1997.
Presidential has, for tax purposes, reported the gain from the sale of certain
of its properties using the installment method.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has incurred costs for environmental site investigations and the
related response action outcome for potentially hazardous drums found at one
site on its Mapletree Industrial Center property in Palmer, Massachusetts. In
1996, the site investigation at this disposal site had been completed and as a
result, in the third quarter of 1996, the Company accrued $120,500 to complete
further site investigations and cleanup costs at this site. This work, which
started in February, 1997, is scheduled to be accomplished over the next four
years. At September 30, 1997, there have been no changes to the 1996 estimated
costs. Actual costs incurred may vary from these estimates due to the inherent
uncertainties involved.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE NINE AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996
Results of Operations
Financial Information for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income increased by $969,807 from $9,603,789 in 1996 to $10,573,596 in 1997
primarily as a result of an increase in interest on mortgages-sold properties,
partially offset by decreases in rental income, interest on wrap mortgages and
investment income.
Rental income decreased by $259,736 from $6,419,504 in 1996 to $6,159,768 in
1997 primarily as a result of decreases of $480,122 at the Metmor Plaza
property, of which $118,645 is the result of lease cancellation fees received
in 1996, $263,987 is the result of increased vacancy loss in 1997 and
$91,919 pertains to decreases in office rental income in 1997. In addition,
rental income decreased by $76,628 at the Cambridge Green and Crown Court
properties. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $297,590
as a result of the reclassification of the operations of foreclosed properties
into rental property operations in 1997.
Interest on mortgages-sold properties increased by $1,458,600 from $1,653,430
in 1996 to $3,112,030 in 1997 primarily due to interest income of $1,153,914
from the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage, which the Company purchased in the
fourth quarter of 1996. In addition, the 1997 period had an increase of
$512,194 from amortization of discounts on notes, of which $382,796 pertains to
the Cedarbrooke note which was prepaid in March, 1997. These increases were
partially offset by decreases in interest income of $141,266 as a result of the
prepayments in 1997 and 1996 on the Cedarbrooke, Town House and Hoboken notes
and a decrease in interest income of $52,051 on the Fairfield Towers Second
Mortgage.
Interest on wrap mortgages decreased by $71,846 from $1,048,207 in 1996 to
$976,361 in 1997 primarily as a result of a $56,250 decrease in interest
income on the Grant Manor purchase money mortgage.
Investment income decreased by $135,183 from $240,630 in 1996 to $105,447 in
1997 primarily as a result of decreased dividend income on securities
available for sale.
Costs and expenses increased by $721,774 from $8,339,788 in 1996 to $9,061,562
in 1997 primarily due to increases in interest on note payable, rental property
operating expenses, depreciation expense and amortization of mortgage costs.
These increases were offset by a decrease in minority interest share of
partnership income.
Interest on note payable and other increased by $668,772 from $106,278 in 1996
to $775,050 in 1997 primarily as a result of the note payable to Fleet Bank,
N.A. ("Fleet") obtained in the fourth quarter of 1996.
Rental property operating expenses increased by $237,243 from $2,857,844 in
1996 to $3,095,087 in 1997 primarily as a result of the reclassification of
foreclosed properties operations to rental property operations which resulted
in an increase in rental property operating expenses of $298,383. In addition,
there were increases in operating expenses of $53,244 at the Kent Terrace
property and $35,362 at the Continental Gardens property. These increases were
partially offset by decreases in operating expenses of $140,293 at the
Mapletree Industrial Center property primarily as a result of environmental
expenses of $120,500 recorded in 1996.
Depreciation expense increased by $59,674 from $484,302 in 1996 to $543,976 in
1997 primarily as a result of the additions and improvements made at the Kent
Terrace, Metmor Plaza and Continental Gardens properties.
Amortization of mortgage costs increased by $149,207 from $98,041 in 1996 to
$247,248 in 1997 as a result of the $146,097 write-off of unamortized mortgage
costs associated with the prior Continental Gardens mortgage. The mortgage on
the Continental Gardens property was refinanced in July, 1997 and the prior
mortgage was repaid from the proceeds of the new mortgage.
Minority interest share of partnership income decreased by $369,791 from
$655,189 in 1996 to $285,398 in 1997 as a result of a decrease in
partnership income on the Metmor Plaza property.
Loss from operations of foreclosed properties was $27,370 in 1996. In 1997,
foreclosed properties were reclassified to real estate and their operations are
now included in rental property operations.
Net gain from sales of properties and securities are sporadic (as they depend
on the timing of sales or the receipt of installments or prepayments on
purchase money notes). In 1997, the net gain from sales of properties and
securities was $562,658 compared with $890,055 in 1996. In the 1997 period,
the Company recognized $472,497 of deferred gain from the sale of the
Cedarbrooke property as a result of a $1,074,200 principal prepayment received
on that note. In addition, the Company recognized deferred gains of $57,166
and $17,840, respectively, from principal payments received on the Fairfield
Towers Second Mortgage and the Overlook loan. In the 1996 period, the Company
recognized $773,258 of deferred gain from the sale of the Town House property
as a result of the $1,000,000 principal prepayment received on that note. In
addition, during 1996, the Company recognized deferred gains of $49,990 and
$66,311, respectively, from the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage and the
Overlook loan.
Financial Information for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income increased by $377,455 from $3,084,437 in 1996 to $3,461,892 in 1997
primarily as a result of increases in interest on mortgages-sold properties and
rental income, partially offset by decreases in interest on wrap mortgages and
investment income.
Rental income increased by $48,223 from $2,071,259 in 1996 to $2,119,482 in
1997 primarily as a result of an increase of $102,131 due to the reclassifica-
tion of the operations of foreclosed properties into rental property operations
in 1997. In addition, rental income increased by $75,424 at the Kent Terrace
property as a result of the upgrading and rerenting program at the property.
These increases were partially offset by decreases of $134,726 at the Metmor
Plaza property resulting from increased vacancy loss of $113,642 and decreases
of $14,539 in office rental income.
Interest on mortgages-sold properties increased by $438,926 from $490,978 in
1996 to $929,904 in 1997 primarily due to interest income of $420,428 from
the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage, which the Company purchased in the fourth
quarter of 1996.
Interest on wrap mortgages decreased by $23,996 from $348,124 in 1996 to
$324,128 in 1997 primarily as a result of an $18,750 decrease in interest
income on the Grant Manor purchase money mortgage.
Investment income decreased by $80,218 from $98,445 in 1996 to $18,227 in
1997 primarily as a result of decreased dividend income on securities
available for sale.
Costs and expenses increased by $411,455 from $2,813,934 in 1996 to $3,225,389
in 1997 primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses,
interest on note payable, real estate tax expense, depreciation expense and
amortization of mortgage costs. These increases were offset by a decrease in
minority interest share of partnership income.
General and administrative expenses increased by $49,954 from $533,608 in
1996 to $583,562 in 1997 primarily due to a $58,662 increase in salary expense,
of which $50,329 pertained to an increase in accrued executive bonuses. This
increase was partially offset by a $10,287 decrease in franchise tax expense.
Interest on note payable and other increased by $262,544 from $35,426 in 1996
to $297,970 in 1997 primarily as a result of the note payable to Fleet obtained
in the fourth quarter of 1996.
Real estate tax expense increased by $38,284 from $195,888 in 1996 to $234,172
in 1997 primarily as a result of an increase in real estate taxes of $34,779 on
the Cambridge Green property.
Depreciation expense increased by $26,188 from $164,361 in 1996 to $190,549 in
1997 primarily as a result of additions and improvements at the Kent Terrace,
Metmor Plaza and Continental Gardens properties.
Amortization of mortgage costs increased by $145,866 from $33,906 in 1996 to
$179,772 in 1997 as a result of the $146,097 write-off of unamortized mortgage
costs associated with the prior Continental Gardens mortgage. The mortgage on
the Continental Gardens property was refinanced in July, 1997 and the prior
mortgage was repaid from the proceeds of the new mortgage.
Minority interest share of partnership income decreased by $109,796 from
$179,538 in 1996 to $69,742 in 1997 as a result of a decrease in partnership
income on the Metmor Plaza property.
Loss from operations of foreclosed properties was $9,897 in 1996. In 1997,
foreclosed properties were reclassified to real estate and their operations are
now included in rental property operations.
Net gain from sales of properties and securities are sporadic (as they depend
on the timing of sales or the receipt of installments or prepayments on
purchase money notes). In 1997, the net gain from sales of properties and
securities was $54,785 compared with $33,962 in 1996. In the 1997 period,

principal payments received on the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage and the
Overlook loan. In the 1996 period, the Company recognized deferred gains of
$28,402 and $5,560, respectively, from principal payments received on the

Balance Sheet
Net mortgage portfolio increased by $2,391,427 from $28,388,917 at December 31,
1996 to $30,780,344 at September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the
result of advances to the owners of the Fairfield Towers property in the
aggregate amount of $3,000,018, which was added to the indebtedness secured by
the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage. This increase was offset by payments of
$388,273 received on the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage and a net decrease of
$218,907 resulting from the prepayment in March, 1997 of the $1,074,200
principal balance of the Cedarbrooke note receivable, which also resulted in
the amortization of discount of $382,796 and the recognition of deferred gain
of $472,497.
Real estate increased by $2,098,306 from $25,369,405 at December 31, 1996 to
$27,467,711 at September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of
the January 1, 1997 reclassification of foreclosed properties having a net
carrying value of $588,683 to real estate. The Company also recorded additions
and improvements of $553,045 to the Kent Terrace property and $371,339 to the
Metmor Plaza property. Additions and improvements recorded to other properties
were $585,239.
Note payable to bank increased by $2,020,624 from $8,642,600 at December 31,
1996 to $10,663,224 at September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the
result of an additional $2,500,000 advanced by Fleet offset by principal
payments made of $479,376.
Accounts payable increased by $204,333 from $271,126 at December 31, 1996 to
$475,459 at September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of an
increase of $212,681 in rental property accounts payable and is due to the
timing of the receipt of invoices as well as the scheduling of payments.
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 and from
repayments of its mortgage portfolio. The Company also has at its disposal a
$250,000 line of credit from Citibank, N.A., which it obtained in January,
1997.
At September 30, 1997, Presidential had $1,170,846 in available cash and cash
equivalents, a decrease of $221,289 from December 31, 1996. This decrease in
cash and cash equivalents was due to cash provided by operating activities of
$2,326,743 being exceeded by cash used in investing activities ($1,633,349)
and financing activities ($914,683).
Operating Activities
Presidential's principal source of cash from operating activities is from
interest on its mortgage portfolio, which was $2,359,755 in 1997, net of
interest payments on wrap mortgage debt and note payable. In 1997, net cash
received from rental property operations was $854,398, which is net of
distributions to minority partners but before additions and improvements and
mortgage amortization.
Investing Activities
Presidential holds a portfolio of mortgage notes receivable which consist
primarily of notes arising from sales of real properties previously owned by
the Company. Some of these notes wrap around underlying mortgage debt (the
"Underlying Debt") which is paid by Presidential only out of funds received on
its mortgage portfolio relating to the Underlying Debt. During 1997, the
Company received principal payments of $1,896,879 on its mortgage portfolio
(net of any principal payments attributable to the Underlying Debt), of which
$1,709,294 represented prepayments, which are sporadic and cannot be relied
upon as a regular source of liquidity.
During 1997, the Company advanced an additional $3,000,018 under the Fairfield
Towers First Mortgage which was used by the owners of the property to pay a
portion of unpaid real estate taxes (and interest accrued thereon) on the
unsold Fairfield Towers condominium units which secure the mortgage
indebtedness.
The Company also holds a portfolio of marketable equity securities which
decreased by $560,110 during 1997, to $415,098, due primarily to security
sales.
During 1997, the Company invested $1,373,328 in additions and improvements to
its properties, which includes $553,045 of additions and improvements at the
Kent Terrace property and $371,339 at the Metmor Plaza property. At September
30, 1997, the upgrading and rerental program at the Kent Terrace property has
been substantially completed and the renovations to the vacant office suites at
the Metmor Plaza property are approximately seventy-five percent completed.
Financing Activities
The Company's indebtedness at September 30, 1997, consisted of $31,693,080 of
mortgages (including $5,266,736 of underlying indebtedness on properties not
owned by the Company but on which the Company holds wraparound mortgages).
The mortgage debt, which is secured by individual properties, is nonrecourse
to the Company with the exception of the $286,706 Mapletree Industrial Center
mortgage, which is secured by the property and a guarantee of repayment by
Presidential. Generally, mortgage debt repayment is serviced with cash flow
from the operations of the individual properties. During 1997, the Company
has made $435,575 of principal payments on mortgage debt on properties which
it owns. The Company refinanced the mortgage on its Continental Gardens
property in Miami, Florida in July of 1997 and the prior mortgage of
$7,771,546 was paid from the proceeds of the new $8,120,000 mortgage.
The mortgage matures in August, 2007 with a balloon payment of
$7,158,323 due at maturity. The mortgage requires monthly payments of
principal and interest in the amount of $60,490 and has an interest rate of
8.16% per annum. The mortgages on the Company's properties are
self-liquidating at fixed rates of interest with the exception of the mortgages
on Metmor Plaza, Building Industries Center and Continental Gardens.
The Company's indebtedness at September 30, 1997 includes a $10,663,224 bank
loan payable to Fleet. This loan was obtained in the fourth quarter of 1996 in
connection with the acquisition of the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage. The
note, which matures on October 30, 2001, is nonrecourse to Presidential except
for a limited guarantee, the amount of which reduces as the principal balance
is reduced and was limited to $1,434,514 at September 30, 1997. The interest
rate is variable and is based at the Company's election on either the bank's
prime rate plus 1%, a cost of funds rate plus 3%, or various LIBOR rates plus
3%. The note amortizes monthly based on a 9.25% interest rate for a 25 year
term with additional principal payments due upon the sale of condominium units.
During 1997, the Company made principal payments of $479,376 and received
additional advances of $2,500,000 from Fleet which were added to the bank loan.
These advances were obtained in order to allow Presidential to advance
$3,000,018 on the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage.
During 1997, Presidential declared cash distributions of $2,138,126 (including
$535,864 payable in the fourth quarter) to its shareholders and received
proceeds from dividend reinvestments of $133,531.
Fairfield Towers
The Company's financial performance and liquidity in 1997 and subsequent years
will be affected by the results of the condominium conversion of Fairfield
Towers Apartments in Brooklyn, New York by the owner of that property and the
rental operations of the unsold condominium units. At September 30, 1997, the
outstanding principal balances on the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage and the
Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage were $17,262,611 and $14,538,278,
respectively. The Fairfield Towers First Mortgage provides for monthly
interest payments of 1% above Fleet's prime rate and principal repayments prior
to maturity upon the sale of individual condominium units. Until the Fairfield
Towers First Mortgage is repaid, Presidential will receive basic interest on
the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage only out of net cash flow from operations
of the property and release payments upon the sale of each condominium unit in
the amount of $3,000 per unit. All unpaid basic interest and additional
interest (which is based on percentages of gross sales proceeds) will be
deferred until after repayment of the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage.
In June of 1994, the owners of the Fairfield Towers property closed the first
sales of the condominium units pursuant to the conversion of the property to
condominium status. At September 30, 1997, a total of 152 units had been sold
and 1,000 units remained to be sold, the majority of which are occupied as
rental units.
The success of the condominium conversion could be adversely affected by the
existence of unpaid real estate taxes and interest accrued thereon in the
approximate amount, as of December 31, 1996, of $4,800,000 owed by the owners
of the property. Approximately $3,000,000 of this amount arose prior to the
condominium conversion of the property and was covered by a deferred payment
agreement with the City of New York which required payments as condominium
units were sold. However, as a result of the slower than projected pace of
sales, the term of the deferred payment agreement expired. In 1997, the
Company advanced an additional $3,000,018 to the owners of the property to be
used to pay a portion of the unpaid real estate taxes and interest (thus
reducing the $4,800,000 to $1,800,000), which amount was added to the
indebtedness secured by the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage, and Fleet advanced
$2,500,000 to Presidential to substantially reimburse it for its $3,000,018
advance.
Environmental Matters
At September 30, 1997, the Company is continuing with its environmental project
for the investigation and removal of potentially hazardous drums found at one
site on its Mapletree Industrial Center property in Palmer, Massachusetts.
Accrued liabilities for environmental matters have been recorded in operating
expenses when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount
of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are exclusive of
claims against third parties and have not been discounted. Actual costs
incurred may vary from these estimates due to the inherent uncertainties
involved. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of
amounts provided which may result from the resolution of this matter will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, liquidity or the
cash flow of the Company. In 1996, the site investigation at this site had
been completed and, as a result, during the third quarter of 1996, the Company
accrued an additional $120,500 in order to complete further site investigations
and cleanup costs at this disposal site. This work, which started in February,
1997, is scheduled to be accomplished over the next four years. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, there were no environmental costs charged to
operations.
