ITEM 1. 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’s principal assets fall into the following three general categories:

  (i) The largest portion of the Company’s assets are equity interests in thirteen rental properties. These properties have an historical cost of $49,739,676, less accumulated depreciation of $9,216,531, resulting in a net carrying value of $40,523,145 at December 31, 2002. See Properties below.
 
  (ii) A substantial portion of the Company’s assets consists of notes receivable, which are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2002 as “Mortgage portfolio: sold properties and other - net”. The $24,653,481 aggregate principal amount of these notes have been reduced by $1,157,565 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) and $6,278,042 of gains on sales which have been deferred. See Notes 1-C, 1-D, 1-E and 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the net carrying value of the Company’s “Mortgage portfolio: sold properties and other” was $17,217,874 at December 31, 2002.
 
  All of the loans included in this category of assets were current at December 31, 2002.
 
  While notes reflected under “Mortgage portfolio: sold properties and other - net” consist primarily of notes received from sales of real properties previously owned by

3


Table of Contents

  the Company, this category of assets also includes loans originated by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $2,875,000 and notes in the aggregate principal amount of $447,803 which relate to sold cooperative apartments.

  (iii) A small portion of the Company’s assets consists of notes receivable in the aggregate principal amount of $1,326,512 resulting from loans made to Ivy Properties, Ltd. (“Ivy”) in connection with the conversion of apartment buildings to cooperative ownership or the sales in 1981 and 1984 by the Company to Ivy of two apartment projects. These loans are reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2002 as “Mortgage portfolio: related parties - net”. The principal amounts of these notes have been reduced by discounts and valuation reserves of $105,669 and deferred gains of $830,927 and, accordingly, these notes have a net carrying value at December 31, 2002 of $389,916. Management believes that it holds sufficient collateral to protect its interests in all of the outstanding loans to Ivy to the extent of the net carrying value of these loans. At December 31, 2002, all of the loans due from related parties were current. See Relationship with Ivy Properties, Ltd., and Notes 3 and 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), 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 “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 2002 were $.64 per share.

In addition, at December 31, 2002, the Company elected to retain $.38 per share of long-term capital gains that the Company had received during 2002 and subsequently paid a capital gains tax of $.13 per share. As a result, each shareholder (i) includes its pro rata share of the designated long-term capital gains in computing its long-term capital gains, (ii) receives a tax credit for its pro rata share of the tax paid by the REIT and (iii) increases the tax basis of its shares by the difference between the amount of capital gains allocated to such shareholder and the tax credit received by the shareholder (see Investment Strategies - Holding of Notes).

Table of Contents

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 the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

At December 31, 2002, the Company employed twelve persons.

(b)  Investment Strategies

The Company’s current overall investment strategy is to make investments in real property which 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 which it may invest in any one type of asset or the percentage of securities of any one issuer which it may acquire. The investment policy may, therefore, be changed by the Directors or Officers of the Company without the concurrence of the holders of its outstanding stock. However, to continue qualifying 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) Equity Properties
 
  The Company’s current investment policy is focused on acquiring additional equity interests in income producing properties, principally moderate income apartment properties in the eastern United States. Although the Company’s present intention is to acquire additional moderate income apartment properties, Presidential has in the past invested in other commercial properties, including office buildings, shopping centers and light industrial properties, and may do so in the future. Geographically, the Company expects to invest primarily in the eastern United States, although Presidential has in the past invested in other locations and may do so in the future. However, the Company’s plans to expand its portfolio of real estate equities may be adversely affected by, among other

5


Table of Contents

  things a) limitations on its ability to obtain funds for investment on satisfactory terms from external sources and b) competition for investment properties from other potential purchasers with greater financial resources.
 
  While it is Presidential’s policy to acquire properties for long term investment, it may from time to time sell its equity interests in such properties.
 
  While Presidential still seeks to use its funds available for investment to acquire equity interests in real estate, under current market conditions 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. Accordingly, the Company has from time to time used its funds available for investment to make loans secured by interests in real estate. See Holding of Notes below.
 
  (ii) Holding of Notes
 
  The Company holds and expects to continue to hold long term mortgage notes obtained from the sales of real property previously owned by the Company. These notes provide for balloon principal payments at varying times. The Company may in appropriate circumstances agree to extend and modify these notes and may make additional loans secured by interests in real property. 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

6


Table of Contents

  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 future 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 has in the last two years made, and may continue to make, additional loans secured by interests in real property. These loans may be “mezzanine” type loans which are secured by subordinate security interests in real property or by ownership interests in entities that own real property, and may include borrower personal guarantees. These loans carry interest rates in excess of rates obtainable on first priority loans. See notes 2 and 3 to the Mortgage portfolio: notes receivable-sold properties and other table under Loans and Investments. Subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Company advanced a mezzanine type loan in the principal amount of $1,500,000 secured by ownership interests in an entity which owns real property and by a personal guarantee from the borrower.
 
  (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 these sources and such unavailability may limit the Company’s ability to make new investments. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

(c) Loans and Investments

The following tables set forth information as of December 31, 2002 with respect to the mortgage loan portfolio resulting from the sale of properties and the loan portfolio due from Ivy.

(1)   The Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage was modified in February, 1999, when the Company sold the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage and substantially all of the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage previously held by the Company. The modification provided for an interest rate of 9.625% per annum through February 17, 2002 and an interest rate of 10.50% per annum thereafter. The note matures on February 18, 2009. The discount on this note was computed at a rate of 18%. To secure this obligation, Presidential obtained subordinate security interests in three apartment properties located in New Jersey as collateral for the note.
 
(2)   In February, 2001, the Company made a $1,100,000 loan which is secured by three apartment properties located in New Jersey (which properties also secure the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage) and by a $750,000 personal guarantee by one of the borrower’s principals. The interest rate is 13% per annum and the note matures on February 18, 2009, but may be prepaid after February 18, 2004.
 
(3)   In July, 2002, the Company made a $1,775,000 loan which is secured by three apartment properties located in New Jersey and a $887,500 personal guarantee from the borrowers. These properties also secure the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage and a $1,100,000 loan to the same borrowers. The interest rate is 11.5% per annum and the note matures in July, 2003.
 
(4)   In April, 2002, the $12,300,000 note secured by a second mortgage on the Encore Apartments in New York, New York was modified at the Company’s request. Under the terms of the modification, Presidential received a principal repayment of $3,750,000 and additional interest of $369,000 (which was due under the terms of the original note). The $8,550,000 balance of the note matures on April 30, 2009. Interest rates on the note are 11% per annum through June 30, 2002, 9% per annum from July 1, 2002 through April 18, 2004, 10% per annum from April 19, 2004 through April 18, 2007 and 10-1/2% per annum from April 19, 2007 through maturity with additional interest of $171,000 due at maturity, which will increase the effective interest rate to 10.17% per annum. The $8,550,000 note is secured by a second mortgage on the Encore apartment property and by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entity owning the Encore Apartments.
 
(5)   Annual interest rate on this note increases by 1% per year, from 8.16% per annum at November 30, 2001 to 11.16% per annum at November 30, 2004.

(6)   These notes are amortizing monthly based on a 20 year term and have balloon payments due at maturity.
 
(7)   The majority of these notes were either assigned by Ivy as a result of the Settlement Agreement with Ivy or were received from purchasers of apartments which Presidential held as foreclosed property.

(1)   Ivy’s equity in these purchase money notes (which are secured by co-op apartment units at University Towers, New Haven, CT) was transferred to Presidential in 1991 as part of the Settlement Agreement with Ivy (see Relationship with Ivy Properties, Ltd. below). Included in the $78,307 discount on these notes is a valuation reserve of $33,944. This valuation reserve was recorded by the Company in 1997 to reflect a decline in the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.
 
(2)   As part of the Settlement Agreement with Ivy in 1991, certain of Presidential’s outstanding nonrecourse loans (most of which had previously been written down to zero) were consolidated into two notes which currently have an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $4,770,050 and a net carrying value of zero. Presidential does not expect to recover any material principal amounts on these notes. However, to the extent that Presidential does receive payments, such payments will be applied to unpaid and unaccrued interest and recognized as income. During 2002, the Company received interest payments of $195,819 on these notes (see Relationship with Ivy Properties, Ltd. below and Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
(3)   These notes represent a 100% interest in notes receivable held by UTB Associates, a limited partnership in which Presidential has a 66-2/3% interest. These notes are amortized over a period of approximately 28 years from the date of a co-op apartment sale. Included in the $27,362 discount on these notes is a valuation reserve of $9,849. This valuation reserve was recorded by the Company in 1997 to reflect a decline in the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

(d)  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 9 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 which 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.

(e)  Relationship with Ivy Properties, Ltd.

From 1979 to 1989, Presidential made loans to Ivy Properties, Ltd. and its affiliates (“Ivy”) in connection with Ivy’s cooperative conversions of apartment properties in the New York metropolitan area. In 1981, UTB Associates, a partnership controlled by Presidential, sold an apartment property to Ivy in return for purchase money notes. In addition, in 1984, Presidential sold to

12

Ivy its 50% partnership interest in the partnership which owned Overlook Gardens, a 308 unit apartment complex in Alexandria, Virginia for a purchase money note.

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 24,601 additional shares of Class A common stock owned in the aggregate 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.

Jeffrey Joseph is 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.

In November, 1999, these three officers exercised stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 60,000 shares of Class B common stock at an exercise price of $6.125 per share. Presidential made loans totaling $367,500 to these officers for the payment of the purchase price of the 60,000 shares. The loans, which are recourse loans, provide for an interest rate of 8% per annum, mature on November 30, 2004 and are secured by a security interest in the shares. For the year ended December 31, 2002, interest income on these notes was $29,400. These three officers own an aggregate of 96,589 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. In 1999, these officers were granted options to purchase an additional 60,000 shares of Class B common stock.

As a result of the deterioration of the sales market for cooperative apartments in the New York metropolitan area in 1989 and 1990, Ivy defaulted on certain of its outstanding loans from Presidential in 1990 and 1991. In November, 1991, Presidential and Ivy consummated a Settlement Agreement with respect to various outstanding loans to Ivy. The Settlement Agreement was negotiated for Presidential by a committee of three members of the Board of Directors with no

affiliations with the Ivy Principals (the “Independent Committee”) and an officer of Presidential who was not affiliated with the Ivy Principals, and was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors of Presidential.

In connection with the Settlement Agreement, most of Ivy’s subordinate nonrecourse debt to Presidential was consolidated, on modified terms, into two nonrecourse loans (collectively, the “Consolidated Loans”) which were collateralized by substantially all of Ivy’s remaining business assets not otherwise disposed of pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (collectively, the “Consolidated Collateral”) and required payments to be made only from certain proceeds of sale of the Consolidated Collateral. Since substantially all of the Consolidated Collateral has been sold and the sales proceeds used to pay other obligations of Ivy as permitted by the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Presidential does not expect to recover any material principal amounts on the Consolidated Loans. However, in 1996 Presidential and the Ivy Principals agreed to modify the Settlement Agreement to provide that the Ivy Principals will make 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 which acts as a producer of theatrical productions. Scorpio is one of the producers of “The Producers”, a much acclaimed Broadway show which opened in April, 2001, and of “Hairspray”, another highly acclaimed Broadway musical which opened in August, 2002. “The Producers” recouped its original investment on Broadway in November, 2001 and has distributed profits regularly since then. A national tour commenced performances in September, 2002 and additional tours and productions are scheduled. “Hairspray” recouped its original investment on Broadway in March, 2003. A national tour commences performances in September, 2003. Amounts received by Presidential from Scorpio will be applied to unpaid and unaccrued interest on the Consolidated Loans and recognized as income. The Company anticipates that these amounts will 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 2002, Presidential received $8,733 of principal payments and $195,819 of interest on the Consolidated Loans. As of December 31, 2002, the Consolidated Loans had an outstanding principal balance of $4,770,050 and a net carrying value of zero.

The table entitled “Mortgage portfolio: notes receivable - related parties” set forth under Loans and Investments above reflects all loans to Ivy outstanding at December 31, 2002. All of such loans are current under their modified terms. Management believes that it holds sufficient collateral to protect its interests in the loans that remain outstanding to Ivy to the extent of the net carrying value of these loans.

Any transactions relating to the implementation of the terms of the Settlement Agreement, or otherwise involving the Ivy Principals, are subject to the approval of the Independent Committee.

(f)  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. 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. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had an ownership interest in 1,224 apartment units and 410,500 square feet of commercial, industrial and professional space, all of which are carried on the balance sheet at $40,523,145 (net of accumulated depreciation of $9,216,531). The Company has mortgage debt on the majority of these properties in the aggregate principal amount of $37,191,814, all of which is nonrecourse to Presidential with the exception of $211,258 pertaining to the mortgage on the Mapletree Industrial Center property.

Included in the 1,224 apartment units owned by Presidential are 54 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.

In addition, PDL, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential) is the General Partner of PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”). PDL, Inc. and Presidential have an aggregate 31% 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, 2002, the Company’s investment in the partnership was a negative basis of $2,358,164. 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. The negative interest has been classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, captioned “distributions from partnership in excess of investment and earnings”. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s equity in income from the partnership was $295,564.

The chart below indicates the operating results of each of the properties owned by the Company at December 31, 2002 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and, following that, in terms of cash flow from operations.

(1)   The results are calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore reflect the deduction of noncash charges such as depreciation and amortization of mortgage costs.
 
(2)   Cash flow or deficiencies from operations as reflected in the above chart are calculated before deduction of depreciation, valuation adjustments, amortization of mortgage costs and property replacements and additions, but after deduction of mortgage amortization. These results should not be considered as an alternative to income or loss from operations on the GAAP basis as an indicator of the properties’ performance or to cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP. These results do not reflect the cash available to fund cash requirements.
 
(3)   These mortgages amortize monthly with balloon payments due at maturity.
 
(4)   The Crown Court property is subject to a long-term net lease containing an option to purchase commencing in 2009.
 
(5)   Income (loss) from operations and cash flow (deficiency) from operations for Farrington Apartments in 2001 were $(93,881) and $117,725, respectively. Operating results in 2002 were adversely affected compared to 2001 by an increase in vacancy loss and increased operating expenses at the property, especially expenses for insurance, water and sewer and maintenance.
 
(6)   Income (loss) from operations and cash flow (deficiency) from operations for Preston Lake Apartments in 2001 were $(48,365) and $322,564, respectively. Operating results in 2002 were adversely affected compared to 2001 by a substantial reduction in gross rents and an increase in vacancy rates resulting from the weak rental market in the greater Atlanta area and to a lesser extent by increased operating expenses at the property, especially expenses for insurance, utilities and maintenance.

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 the majority of the mortgages amortize monthly with balloon payments due at maturity.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

UTB Associates, a partnership in which the Company holds a 66-2/3% interest, was a tenant under a lease (the “Professional Space Lease”) of 24,400 square feet of professional office space at University Towers, a cooperative apartment building in New Haven, Connecticut. From 1999 through 2001, UTB Associates and University Towers Owners Corp., the cooperative corporation, were in litigation regarding the termination of the Professional Space Lease. As a result of the outcome of the litigation, the Professional Space Lease was terminated and operation of the Professional Space Lease property was relinquished to the cooperative corporation as of September 1, 2001. UTB Associates appealed the decision and pending the outcome of the appeal, UTB Associates and the cooperative corporation agreed to settle the various issues involved in the litigation and a settlement was finalized in May, 2002. Under the terms of the settlement, UTB Associates agreed to the termination of the lease and the subleases and the associated tenant improvements were assigned to the cooperative corporation. As a part of the settlement, Presidential transferred its interest in the Towers Shoppers Parcade property, which is used for parking for tenants at the Professional Space Lease property, to the cooperative corporation. UTB Associates and the Company received non-interest bearing notes from the cooperative corporation in the total amount of $850,000 for the transfers of the Professional Space Lease and the Towers Shoppers Parcade property.

Under the terms of the notes, UTB Associates and the Company would receive monthly payments on the notes over a nine-year period in the annual amount of $70,000 and $21,111, respectively, for the first three years and $75,000 and $21,111, respectively, for the last six years. Under the terms of the notes, University Towers Owners Corp. had the right to prepay the notes for a prepayment price equal to the present value of the projected note payments calculated at a discount rate of 3% per annum. University Towers Owners Corp. made eight monthly payments and then repaid the balance of the notes in full in November, 2002. As a result, UTB Associates and the Company received total payments of $757,365 (total monthly payments of $60,741 and a prepayment of $696,624 after a present value discount of $92,635).

UTB Associates received payments of $588,013, recorded a net gain on sale of $284,434 (which includes the minority interest share of $94,830) and amortization of discount of $26,377. The net book value of the assets transferred by UTB Associates to the cooperative

corporation was $212,488. The Company received payments of $169,352, recorded a gain on sale of $153,579 and amortization of discount of $7,627. The net book value of the assets transferred by the Company to the cooperative corporation were $3,146.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As discussed in Note 23 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the 2001 and 2000 Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to account for the Company’s investment in PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited Co-Partnership (“Home Mortgage Partnership”) under the equity method, instead of the previous accounting, which treated the Home Mortgage Partnership as a consolidated subsidiary. In addition, the net amount recognized in the balance sheet for the contractual pension benefit liability has been reclassified to reflect its different components on a gross basis, including an intangible asset and accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effect of this reclassification was to decrease stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2000 by $1,438,680.

The restatement did not affect previously reported net income or earnings per common share, but affected numerous accounts on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. The accompanying management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on such restated financial statements.

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. These estimates require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. The Company’s critical accounting policies are set forth below:

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 those costs or incorrectly estimates the useful lives of its real estate, depreciation expense may be misstated.

24


Table of Contents

The Company reviews each of its properties, including the property held by the 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 fair value based on estimated undiscounted cash flow projections 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. Changes in these estimates could cause the estimated cash flows to change and impairment could occur. As of December 31, 2002, the Company’s net real estate was $40,523,145 and the Home Mortgage Partnership’s net real estate was $4,471,850. No impairments have been recorded on any of these properties.

Mortgage Portfolio

The Company evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal on its $25,979,993 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, for practical purposes, 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. The net mortgage portfolio was $17,607,790 at December 31, 2002, 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 and bad debt expense is charged for vacated tenant accounts. At December 31, 2002, other receivables net of an

25


Table of Contents

allowance for doubtful accounts of $99,249, were $437,984. For the year ended December 31, 2002, bad debt expense (all of which was for tenant obligations) was $78,602, less than 1% of total rental revenues.

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. Contributions for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $740,536, $407,204 and $269,398, respectively. Required contributions for 2003 are approximately $990,000 (see Defined Benefit Plan below). Net periodic benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $508,000, $431,576 and $379,547, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2002 was $4,333,619 and the fair value of the plan assets was $2,498,859. The discount rate for 2002 was 6.5% compared to 7% for the two prior years and the expected rate of return on plan assets was unchanged from 7%. Management continues to evaluate 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. Certain contracts were amended effective January 1, 2002, for three active officers to change the benefit commencement date to four years after they actually retire. Benefits paid for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $435,286, $427,235 and $415,184, respectively. Benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $320,716, $512,680 and $466,147, respectively. The accumulated contractual pension benefit obligation at December 31, 2002 was $2,814,176. The discount rate used for 2002 was 6.5% compared to 7% in the two prior years. 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.

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. The Company has distributed 100% of its REIT taxable income (exclusive of capital gains) for the 2002 year. In addition, at December 31, 2002, the Company designated an undistributed long-term capital gain dividend of $1,425,000 and subsequently paid a $498,750 income tax on that retained gain. Although no assurances can be given, the Company currently expects to distribute all of its remaining 2002 taxable income (after the $1,425,000 retained capital gain) of approximately $2,256,000 ($.60 per share) during 2003 and, accordingly, has made no provisions for income taxes other than the $498,750 for the retained gain. 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.

Results of Operations

     2002 vs 2001

Revenue decreased by $501,569 primarily as a result of decreases in rental revenues and decreases in interest income on mortgages-sold properties and other. These decreases were partially offset by increases in interest income on mortgages-related parties.

Rental revenues decreased by $64,585. Although rental revenues increased by $221,272 at a majority of the Company’s rental properties, rental revenues at Preston Lake Apartments decreased by $285,857 due to an increase in vacancy losses of $85,729 and decreases in rental revenues of $200,128. The rental market in the Tucker, Georgia area continues to be plagued by a struggling economy and in order to increase the occupancy level at this property, the Company has reduced the rental rates for new occupancies.

Interest on mortgages-sold properties and other decreased by $573,045 primarily due to the $255,281 amortization of discount in 2001 on the Woodgate note as a result of the principal payment received on that note in 2001. Interest income and amortization of discount decreased

27


Table of Contents

by $359,835 on the Encore note receivable as a result of the $3,750,000 principal payment received on that note in April, 2002. In addition, interest income on the Westgate note receivable decreased by $50,750 as a result of a decrease in the interest rate, which occurred in August, 2001, in accordance with the terms of the note. The interest rate on the note for the period August 1, 2001 through July 31, 2006 is 6.45% per annum and is based on the yield of United States Treasury bills maturing on July 1, 2006 plus 150 basis points. The prior interest rate was 7.9% per annum. These decreases were offset by interest income of $94,124 earned on a new $1,775,000 loan made in July, 2002 with an interest rate of 11.5% per annum.

Interest on mortgages - related parties increased by $142,085 primarily as a result of an increase of $152,342 in payments of interest income received on the Consolidated Loans. Payments on the Consolidated Loans are based on a percentage of operating cash flows of an entity related to the debtor.

Costs and expenses increased by $197,787 primarily due to increases in rental property operating expenses and real estate tax expenses, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $63,653 primarily as a result of decreases of $170,580 in contractual pension and postretirement benefits expenses, as a result of an amendment extending the pension benefit commencement date for three active officers from age 65 to age 69, or four years after they actually retire, if later. These decreases were offset by increases of $76,424 in defined benefit plan expenses and an increase of $24,248 in professional services.

Rental property operating expenses increased by $228,995 primarily as a result of a $103,266 increase in repairs and maintenance expense. In addition, insurance expense increased by $55,118, bad debt expense increased by $37,464, and fuel and utilities increased by $37,514.

Real estate tax expense increased by $36,215 primarily as a result of increased real estate taxes on five properties.

Other income increased by $46,956 primarily as a result of a $33,583 increase in equity in income of partnership. During 2002, the Company purchased an additional 4% interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership increasing its ownership interest from 27% to 31%. The increase in partnership interest increased the Company’s share of net income from the partnership. In addition, investment income increased by $13,373 primarily as a result of increased cash investments.

Income from continuing operations before net gain from sales of properties and securities decreased by $651,339, from $1,190,177 in 2001 to $538,838 in 2002. The $651,339 decrease was primarily a result of a $430,960 net decrease in interest income on the Company’s mortgage portfolio (sold properties and other and related parties) as discussed above. In addition, income from rental property operations decreased by $326,890. The decrease in income from rental property operations was primarily the result of increased losses on the Preston Lake Apartments property and on the Farrington Apartments property. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease of $63,653 in general and administrative expenses and an increase of $33,583 of equity in income of partnership.

Net gain from sales of properties consists primarily of recognition of deferred gains from sales in prior years. The recognition of such gains is sporadic (as it depends on the timing of sales or the receipt of installments or prepayments on purchase money notes). In 2002, the net gain from sales of properties was $3,873,119 compared with $1,198,428 in 2001:

Balance Sheet

Net mortgage portfolio increased by $1,197,861 primarily as a result of a $1,775,000 loan made in July, 2002. The $1,775,000 loan is secured by three apartment properties in New Jersey and a $887,500 personal guarantee from the borrowers. The loan has an interest rate of 11.50% per annum and matures in July, 2003. This increase was partially offset by principal payments of $352,000 received on the Mark Terrace note and principal payments of $281,678 received on sold co-op apartment notes. In addition, in April, 2002, the Company received a $3,750,000 principal payment on the $12,300,000 Encore note receivable and as a result, mortgage receivables and deferred gains on sales each decreased by $3,750,000 (a net effect of zero on the mortgage portfolio) and a $3,750,000 deferred gain was recognized in gain from sales of properties and securities on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At December 31, 2001 assets related to discontinued operations were $6,494,951 and liabilities related to discontinued operations were $4,786,739. These assets and liabilities were related to the Sunwood Apartments property, the University Towers Professional Space Lease property and the Towers Shoppers Parcade property, which were all sold in 2002.

Prepaid expenses and deposits in escrow increased by $132,847 as a result of increases of $134,897 in deposits in escrow.

Other receivables decreased by $286,663 primarily as a result of the receipt in 2002 of the $369,000 of additional interest due on the Encore note receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $4,950,544 primarily as a result of the receipt of the $3,807,643 net proceeds from the sales of discontinued operations in 2002 and a principal repayment of $3,750,000 received on the Encore note. These increases were partially offset by a $1,775,000 loan made in July, 2002, a $255,500

purchase of an additional 4% interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership and the $221,694 of distributions to the minority partners of UTB Associates.

Other assets decreased by $112,000 primarily as a result of the $84,301 decrease in intangible assets for the defined benefit plan and the contractual pension plan.

Contractual pension and postretirement benefits liabilities decreased by $293,973 primarily as a result of an amendment effective January 1, 2002 to change the benefit commencement date for three active officers from age 65 to age 69, or four years after they actually retire, if later.

Defined benefit plan liability increased by $757,850 primarily due to an increase in the projected benefit obligation as a result of losses in the pension plan asset portfolio, increased benefit levels and a decrease in the discount rate from 7% to 6.5%.

The Company designated an undistributed capital gain dividend of $1,425,000 for the taxable year ended December 31, 2002. As a result, $498,750 has been accrued for federal income taxes payable on the $1,425,000 undistributed long-term capital gain.

Distributions from partnership in excess of investment and earnings decreased by $268,084. In 2002, the Company purchased an additional 4% partnership interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership for a purchase price of $255,500, received distributions of $282,980 and recorded its share of income of $295,564.

Other liabilities increased by $102,293 primarily as a result of increases in deferred revenues and tenant security deposits.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $888,233 primarily as a result of an increase of $1,003,002 in the unrecognized loss relating to the defined benefit plan liability partially offset by a decrease of $113,967 in the unrecognized loss relating to the contractual pension liability.

Results of Operations

     2001 vs 2000

Revenue increased by $1,213,708 primarily as a result of increases in rental revenue and interest income on mortgages-sold properties and other.

31


Table of Contents

Rental revenue increased by $1,119,881 primarily as a result of the purchase of Farrington Apartments and Preston Lake Apartments in March, 2000. Rental revenue increased by $912,733 for these two properties. In addition, rental income increased by $207,148 at other properties.

Interest on mortgages-sold properties and other increased by $97,763 primarily due to the $255,281 amortization of discount on notes, which resulted from the $1,175,500 principal payment received on the Woodgate note receivable that had been secured by the Windsor at Arbors property in Alexandria, Virginia. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $156,001 in amortization of discounts on notes receivable.

Costs and expenses increased by $1,180,514 primarily due to increases in a majority of all categories of costs and expenses as set forth below.

General and administrative expenses increased by $387,024 primarily as a result of increases in salary expense of $182,289 of which $127,221 pertains to increases in executive bonuses pursuant to existing contracts and $55,068 pertains to increases in salaries. Contractual pension and defined benefit plan expenses increased by $98,562, insurance expense increased by $45,445, professional fees and computer expenses increased by $42,072 and franchise tax expense increased by $10,120.

Rental property operating expenses increased by $124,642 primarily as a result of increased operating expenses of $76,297 at the Farrington Apartments and Preston Lake Apartments which were owned for only nine months in 2000 and for the entire year in 2001. In addition, at other properties, insurance expense increased by $54,034.

Interest expense on mortgage debt increased by $353,907. The increase in interest expense on mortgage debt for Farrington Apartments and Preston Lake Apartments was $400,752. This increase was partially offset by a $29,246 decrease in interest expense on mortgage debt as a result of the repayment of the mortgage on the Building Industries Center property in May of 2000.

Real estate tax expense increased by $105,518. The increase in real estate tax expense which is attributable to the acquisition of Farrington Apartments and Preston Lake Apartments was $99,146.

Depreciation expense on real estate increased by $196,251. The increase in depreciation expense which is attributable to the acquisition of Farrington Apartments and Preston Lake Apartments was $186,028.

Amortization of mortgage costs increased by $7,980. The increase in amortization of mortgage costs which is attributable to the acquisition of Farrington Apartments and Preston Lake Apartments was $9,055.

Investment income decreased by $113,001 primarily as a result of lower interest rates and the sale of securities during 2000.

Net gain from sales of properties and securities consists primarily of recognition of deferred gains from sales in prior years. The recognition of such gains is sporadic (as it depends on the timing of sales or the receipt of installments or prepayments on purchase money notes). In 2001, the net gain from sales of properties and securities was $1,198,428 compared with a net loss of $5,027 in 2000:

Income from discontinued operations increased by $242,310 from a loss of $9,880 in 2000 to income of $232,430 in 2001. The increase of $242,310 was primarily a result of increased income of $168,050 on the Sunwood Apartments property as a result of increases of $202,475 in rental revenue. In addition, the University Towers Professional Space Lease property income increased by $74,341 from a loss of $44,772 in 2000 to income of $29,569 in 2001. This increase was a result of a $129,005 decrease in professional fees, partially offset by decreases in rental revenue of $116,275 and decreases of $29,150 in depreciation and minority interest share of partnership income.

Table of Contents

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. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the financial statements, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements. 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 or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a supplemental measure of operating performance and along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash requirements.

FFO, as calculated in accordance with the NAREIT definition, is summarized in the following table:

(1)  In 2002, 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 in addition to funds from operations. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and its management and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect the demand for apartments or commercial space, availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the terms and availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and environment/safety requirements.

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, which was not utilized during 2002, 2001 or 2000.

At December 31, 2002, Presidential had $6,738,768 in available cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $4,950,544 from the $1,788,224 at December 31, 2001. This increase in cash and cash equivalents

35


Table of Contents

was due to cash provided by operating activities of $1,960,283 and investing activities of $10,580,188, offset by cash used in financing activities of $7,589,927.

During 2002, the Company paid cash distributions to shareholders of $2,390,579 which exceeded cash flows from operating activities by $430,296. In 2002, the Company received $4,352,243 of balloon payments on its mortgage portfolio and net proceeds of $3,807,643 from sales of discontinued operations. 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 2002, 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. In 2002, the Company retained $1,425,000 of taxable capital gain and subsequently paid a $498,750 tax on that gain (see Sale of Sunwood Apartments below).

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 expects to maintain the $.64 dividend rate in 2003, 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 2002, the cost for this insurance was approximately $514,000. The Company has renewed its insurance coverage for 2003, and the increase in premium costs is approximately 14%. Although the Company has been able to obtain terrorism coverage on its properties in the past, this coverage may not be available in the future.

Defined Benefit Plan

In 2002, the Company made contributions of approximately $741,000 for its Defined Benefit Plan and paid benefits of approximately $415,000. Pursuant to its actuary’s estimates, the contribution requirements in 2003 will be approximately $990,000, an increase of approximately $249,000. The increase in pension plan contributions is required as a result of losses to the pension plan asset portfolio over the last three years and increased benefit levels in 2002.

Loan Modification

The Company’s $12,300,000 note secured by a second mortgage on the Encore Apartments in New York, New York was due to mature on June 29, 2002. In April, 2002, the Company modified the terms of this note. Under the terms of the modification, Presidential received a $3,750,000 principal repayment, a $21,375 commitment fee on the $8,550,000 outstanding balance and additional interest of $369,000 (which was due under the terms of the original note). The $8,550,000 balance of the $12,300,000 note was modified to extend the maturity date from June 29, 2002 to April 30, 2009 and to provide for interest payable monthly at annual interest rates of 11% through June 30, 2002, 9% from July 1, 2002 through April 18, 2004, 10% from April 19, 2004 through April 18, 2007 and 10 1/2% from April 19, 2007 through maturity. Presidential will also receive an additional interest payment of $171,000 at maturity, which will increase the effective interest rate for the modified loan term to 10.17% per annum. This modification was initiated by the Company for business reasons, and not as a result of borrower financial difficulties. This loan is not considered to be impaired under GAAP.

Consolidated Loans

Presidential holds two nonrecourse loans (the “Consolidated Loans”) which were collateralized by substantially all of the remaining assets of Ivy Properties, Ltd. and its affiliates (“Ivy”). At December 31, 2002, 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. Scorpio is one of the producers of “The Producers”, a much acclaimed Broadway show which opened in April, 2001, and of “Hairspray”, another highly acclaimed Broadway musical which opened in August, 2002. “The Producers” recouped its original investment on Broadway in November, 2001 and has distributed profits regularly since then. A national tour commenced performances in September, 2002 and additional tours and productions are scheduled. “Hairspray” recouped its original investment on Broadway in March, 2003. A national tour commences performances in September, 2003. Amounts received by Presidential from Scorpio will be applied to unpaid and unaccrued interest on the Consolidated Loans and recognized as income. The Company anticipates that these amounts will 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. Presidential received payments of $195,819 in 2002, $43,477 in 2001 and $2,940 in 2000 of interest income on the Consolidated Loans.

Professional Space Lease Property

UTB Associates, a partnership in which the Company holds a 66-2/3% interest, was a tenant under a lease (the “Professional Space Lease”) of 24,400 square feet of professional office space at University Towers, a cooperative apartment building in New Haven, Connecticut. UTB Associates and University Towers Owners Corp., the cooperative corporation, had been in litigation regarding the termination of the Professional Space Lease, and in September, 2001, the court terminated the Professional Space Lease which resulted in the operation of the Professional Space Lease property being relinquished to the cooperative corporation. UTB Associates appealed the decision and pending the outcome of the appeal, UTB Associates and the cooperative corporation reached an agreement to settle the various issues involved in the litigation and a settlement was finalized in May, 2002. Under the terms of the settlement, UTB Associates agreed to the cancellation of the lease and the cooperative corporation received rights to the subleases and the associated tenant improvements. As a part of the settlement, Presidential transferred its interest in the Towers Shoppers Parcade property, which is used for parking for tenants at the Professional Space Lease property, to the cooperative corporation. UTB Associates and the Company received non-interest bearing notes from the cooperative corporation in the total amount of $850,000 for the transfers of the Professional Space Lease and the Towers Shoppers Parcade property.

Table of Contents

UTB Associates and the Company were to receive monthly payments on the notes over a nine-year period in the amount of $70,000 per year and $21,111 per year, respectively, for the first three years and $75,000 per year and 21,111 per year, respectively, for the last six years. However, after receipt of eight monthly payments, the notes were repaid in full. Under the terms of the notes, the prepayment price was equal to the present value of the projected note payments calculated at a discount rate of 3% per annum. UTB Associates and the Company received total payments of $757,365 (total monthly payments of $60,741 and a prepayment of $696,624 after a present value discount of $92,635).

In connection with the above transactions, UTB Associates received cash payments of $588,013, recorded a gain on sale of $284,434 (including $94,830 of minority interest share) and recorded amortization of discount of $26,377. The net book value of the assets transferred was $212,488 and expenses of sale were $64,714.

As a result of the transfer of the Towers Shoppers Parcade property, the Company received $169,352 in cash payments, recorded a gain on sale of $153,579 and amortization of discount of $7,627. The net book value of the assets transferred was $3,146 and expenses of sale were $5,000.

Income from operations and gain from sales have been recorded in Discontinued Operations.

Sale of Sunwood Apartments

On August 30, 2002, the Company consummated the sale of its Sunwood Apartments property in Miami, Florida to Sunwood Development LLC for a sales price of $8,000,000 pursuant to a contract for the sale executed in February, 2002. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the $4,641,879 first mortgage loan, a brokerage fee of $240,000 and other expenses of sale of $39,139, were $3,078,982. Presidential had intended to purchase an exchange property pursuant to a tax free exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, Presidential did not find a suitable property in the allotted time frame and the proceeds from the sale were released from escrow.

The taxable capital gain from the sale of Sunwood Apartments property is approximately $1,844,000 ($.49 per share). In addition to its regular annual cash distribution of $.64 per share, Presidential elected to designate an undistributed capital gain

39


Table of Contents

dividend of $1,425,000 ($.38 per share) pursuant to Code Section 857(b)(3)(D), and subsequently paid federal income taxes of $498,750 ($.13 per share) on the retained dividend. Accordingly, each shareholder will (i) include its pro rata share of the retained capital gain in computing its long-term capital gain, (ii) receive a tax credit for its pro rata share of the tax paid by Presidential and (iii) increase the tax basis of its shares by the difference between the amount of the capital gain allocated to it and the tax credit received.

The carrying value of the Sunwood Apartments property was $6,009,837 (net of accumulated depreciation of $611,303). Presidential has, for financial reporting purposes, recognized a gain from the sale (after a $498,750 provision for income taxes) of $1,142,734. For the year ended December 31, 2002, this property had gross revenues of $749,790 and operating income of $180,085. Income from operations and the gain from sale have been recorded in Discontinued Operations.

     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 partnership, which were $3,195,188, $1,553,587 and $282,980 in 2002, respectively. 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.

     Investing Activities

Presidential holds a portfolio of mortgage notes receivable. During 2002, the Company received principal payments of $4,478,370 on its mortgage portfolio, of which $4,352,243 represented prepayments and balloon payments. Prepayments and balloon payments are sporadic and cannot be relied upon as a regular source of liquidity.

Presidential made a $1,775,000 mortgage loan in July, 2002. The loan has an interest rate of 11.5% per annum and the entire principal balance is due at maturity in July, 2003.

During 2002, the Company invested $399,568 in additions and improvements to its properties. It is projected that additions and improvements in 2003 will be approximately at the same level. In 2002, the Company also purchased an additional 4% interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership for a purchase price of $255,500.

Subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Company made a $1,500,000 loan secured by ownership interests in Reisterstown Town Square Associates, LLC, which owns Reisterstown Apartments in Baltimore, Maryland, and a personal guarantee from the borrower. The loan matures on January 31, 2008 and has an annual interest rate of 10.50% for the first three years and fluctuates thereafter with a base of 10.50% per annum.

     Financing Activities

The Company’s indebtedness at December 31, 2002, consisted of $37,191,814 of mortgage debt. The mortgage debt, which is collateralized by individual properties, is nonrecourse to the Company with the exception of the $211,258 Mapletree Industrial Center mortgage, which is collateralized by the property and a guarantee of repayment by Presidential. In addition, some of the Company’s mortgages provide for personal 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 2002, the Company made $414,397 of principal payments on mortgage debt.

The mortgages on the Company’s properties are at fixed rates of interest. With the exception of three mortgages which are self-liquidating, the remaining mortgages have balloon payments due at maturity as follows:

                                 
    Outstanding   Maturity   Interest   Balloon
Property   Balance   Date   Rate   Payment

 
 
 
 
Continental Gardens
  $ 7,698,869     Aug.,  2007     8.16 %   $ 7,158,323

During 2002, Presidential declared and paid cash distributions of $2,390,579 to its shareholders and received proceeds from its dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan of $122,629.

     Discontinued Operations

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which requires that

41


Table of Contents

the operations of properties that have been sold or are being held for sale be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented and properties that are being held for sale be designated as assets “held for sale” on the balance sheet.

During 2002, the Company sold the University Towers Professional Space Lease, the Towers Shopping Parcade property and the Sunwood Apartments property. Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $201,766, $232,430 and $(9,880), respectively. Net gain from the sales of discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $1,485,917. The net gain from sales includes a provision for income taxes of $498,750.

At December 31, 2001, assets related to discontinued operations were $6,494,951 and liabilities related to discontinued operations were $4,786,739, all of which were sold during 2002.

Cash from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was as follows: cash provided by operating activities was $256,168, $418,064 and $172,967, cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $8,440,716, $(22,533) and $(103,119) and cash used in financing activities was $4,685,886, $66,780 and $64,461, respectively.

     Contractual Commitments

The Company’s significant contractual commitments are its liabilities under mortgage debt which are payable as follows:

In addition, the Company 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, 2002, the Company paid $435,286 for pension benefits and $54,623 for postretirement benefits.

     Environmental Matters

The Company is not aware of any environmental issues at any of its properties. The presence, with or without the Company’s knowledge, of hazardous substances at any of its properties could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

     Accounting Pronouncements

In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (effective January 1, 2003). SFAS No. 143 requires the recording of the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. Implementation of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections”. SFAS No. 145, among other things, rescinds SFAS No. 4 “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt”, and accordingly, the reporting of gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt as extraordinary items will only be required if they meet the specific criteria for extraordinary items included in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations”. The rescission of SFAS No. 4 is effective January 1, 2003. Management believes that adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In July, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (effective January 1, 2003). SFAS No. 146 replaces current accounting literature and requires the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In December, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. This statement

43


Table of Contents

amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. Adoption of the provisions of the Statement in 2003 will not have any impact since the Company will continue to use the intrinsic value method as set forth in APB No. 25. The Company has not granted any stock options during the last three years.

In November of 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 “Guarantors’ Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. The interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure provisions of this Interpretation are effective for the Company’s December 31, 2002 financial statements; the Company has no guarantees requiring disclosure under this Interpretation. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company does not believe that the initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January of 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. This Interpretation clarifies the application of existing accounting pronouncements to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of the Interpretation will be immediately effective for all variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and the Company will need to apply its provisions to any existing variable interests in variable interest entities by no later than the third quarter of 2003. The Company believes that it does not hold any investments in entities that will be deemed variable interest entities and, accordingly, that the implementation of this Interpretation will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of mortgage notes receivable and mortgage notes payable. Substantially all of these 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 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. The Company does not own any derivative financial instruments or engage in hedging activities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders
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, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the foregoing Table of Contents. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth herein.

As discussed in Note 1, on January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

As discussed in Note 23, the accompanying 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements have been restated.

PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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.

B.     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 leaseholds 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.

C.     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 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 three years ended December 31, 2002 have been at the Company’s request for business purposes and not as a result of debtor financial difficulties. When the mortgage loan is considered to be impaired, the Company establishes a valuation allowance equal to the difference between a) the carrying value of the loan, and b) the present value of the

Table of Contents

expected cash flows from the loan at its effective interest rate, or, for practical purposes, 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.

D.     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 are deferred and are being recognized on the installment method until such transactions have complied with the criteria for full profit recognition.

E.     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.

F.     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 66-2/3% interest (see Note 7).

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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

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 16 and 17).

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 complies with the additional disclosures required when necessary by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, but has 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 three years.

M.     Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002. Implementation of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. On January 1, 2002, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. This statement requires that the operations 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 properties intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet. Under this pronouncement, the operations of properties sold prior to January 1, 2002 are not reclassified as discontinued operations.

N.     New Accounting Pronouncements – In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (effective January 1, 2003). SFAS No. 143 requires the recording of the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. Implementation of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections”. SFAS No. 145, among other things, rescinds SFAS No. 4 “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt”, and accordingly, the reporting of gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt as extraordinary items will only be required if they meet the specific criteria for extraordinary items included in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations”. The rescission of SFAS No. 4 is effective January 1, 2003. Management believes that adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In July, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (effective January 1, 2003). SFAS No. 146 replaces current accounting literature and requires the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In December, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. This statement amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. Adoption of the provisions of the Statement in 2003 will not have any impact since the Company will continue to use the intrinsic value method as set forth in APB No. 25.

In November of 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 “Guarantors’ Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. The interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure provisions of this Interpretation are effective for the Company’s December 31, 2002 financial statements; the Company has no guarantees requiring disclosure under this Interpretation. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The

63


Table of Contents

Company does not believe that the initial recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January of 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. This Interpretation clarifies the application of existing accounting pronouncements to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of the Interpretation will be immediately effective for all variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and the Company will need to apply its provisions to any existing variable interests in variable interest entities by no later than the third quarter of 2003. The Company believes that it does not hold any investments in entities that will be deemed variable interest entities and, accordingly, that the implementation of this Interpretation will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

O.     Reclassification – Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation for discontinued operations.

Loans, Payoffs and Prepayments

In July, 2002, the Company made a $1,775,000 loan secured by three apartment properties located in New Jersey and an $887,500 personal guarantee from the borrowers. The loan requires monthly interest payments at the rate of 11.5% per annum and the entire principal amount is due at maturity in July, 2003. In February, 2001, the Company made a $1,100,000 loan secured by the same three apartment properties located in New Jersey and by a $750,000 personal guarantee by one of the borrower’s principals. The loan requires monthly interest payments at the rate of 13% per annum and the entire principal amount is due at maturity in February, 2009. The three properties in New Jersey also secure the $4,000,000 Fairfield Towers loan.

During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company received $352,000, $529,262 and $98,738, respectively, in principal payments on its Mark Terrace notes receivable resulting in the recognition of previously deferred gains of $462,250 and $96,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The payments were made in connection with the sales by the sponsor of the cooperative apartment units at the Mark Terrace property and the release of these units from the Company’s security interest.

In January, 2001, the Company received payment in full on its $1,175,500 Woodgate note receivable that had been secured by the Windsor at Arbors property in Alexandria, Virginia. As a result, the Company recognized $255,281 of unamortized discount and $684,991 of deferred gain.

Subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Company made a $1,500,000 loan secured by ownership interests in Reisterstown Town Square Associates, LLC, which owns Reisterstown Apartments in Baltimore, Maryland, and a personal guarantee from the borrower. The loan matures on January 31, 2008 and has an annual interest rate of 10.50% for the first three years and fluctuates thereafter with a base of 10.50% per annum.

Modifications

In April, 2002, the $12,300,000 New Haven note secured by a second mortgage on the Encore Apartments in New York, New York was modified at the Company’s request. Under the terms of the modification, Presidential received a principal repayment of $3,750,000 and additional interest of $369,000 (which was due under the terms of the original note). The $8,550,000 balance of the $12,300,000 note was modified to extend the maturity date from June 29, 2002 until

April 30, 2009 and to provide for interest payable monthly at annual rates of 11% through June 30, 2002, 9% from July 1, 2002 through April 18, 2004, 10% from April 19, 2004 through April 18, 2007 and 10-1/2% from April 19, 2007 through maturity and additional interest of $171,000 due at maturity, which will increase the effective interest rate to 10.17% per annum. The $8,550,000 note is secured by a second mortgage on the Encore apartment property and by a pledge of the ownership interests in the entity owning the Encore Apartments. In connection with the modification, Presidential received a $21,375 commitment fee and recognized a previously deferred gain of $3,750,000, which is included in net gain from sales of properties and securities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On August 30, 2002, the Company consummated the sale of its Sunwood Apartments property in Miami, Florida to Sunwood Development LLC for a sales price of $8,000,000 pursuant to a contract for the sale executed in February, 2002. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the $4,641,879 first mortgage loan, a brokerage fee of $240,000 and other expenses of sale of $39,139, were $3,078,982. The carrying value of the Sunwood Apartments property was $6,009,837 (net of accumulated deprecation of $611,303). Presidential has, for financial reporting purposes, recognized a gain from the sale of $1,142,734 net of Federal taxes of $498,750.

In May, 2002, UTB Associates, a consolidated partnership in which the Company holds a 66-2/3% interest, finalized a settlement of certain litigation issues with University Towers Owners Corp. UTB Associates was a tenant under a lease (the “Professional Space Lease”) of 24,400 square feet of professional office space at University Towers, a cooperative apartment building in New Haven, Connecticut. Since 1999, UTB Associates and University Towers Owners Corp., the cooperative corporation, had been in litigation regarding the termination of the Professional Space Lease. In September, 2001, the court terminated the Professional Space Lease and, as a result, effective September 1, 2001, operation of the Professional Space Lease property was relinquished to the cooperative corporation. UTB Associates appealed the decision and pending the outcome of the appeal, UTB Associates and the cooperative corporation reached an agreement to settle the various issues involved in the litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, UTB Associates agreed to the termination of the lease and the subleases and the associated tenant improvements were assigned to the cooperative corporation. In return, UTB Associates was to receive payments from the cooperative corporation (that effectively began April 1, 2002 under the terms of

69


Table of Contents

a $660,000 non-interest bearing promissory note) over a nine-year period in the amount of approximately $5,833 per month for the first three years and $6,250 per month for the last six years. As part of the settlement, Presidential transferred to the cooperative corporation its interest in the Towers Shoppers Parcade property which is used for parking for tenants at the professional space property and in return was to receive under the terms of a $190,000 non-interest bearing promissory note a monthly payment of approximately $1,759 for the next nine years starting April 1, 2002. However, in November, 2002, the notes due from University Towers Owners Corp. were repaid in full. Under the terms of the notes, the prepayment price was equal to the present value of the projected note payments calculated at a discount rate of 3% per annum. As a result, UTB Associates and the Company received a total prepayment of $696,624 after a discount of $92,635.

The net book value of the assets transferred to the cooperative corporation in May, 2002 was $212,488 and $3,146 by UTB Associates and Presidential, respectively. After closing costs, UTB Associates recorded a gain on sale of $284,434 (including the minority interest share of $94,830) and amortization of discount of $26,377. Presidential recorded a gain on sale of $153,579 and amortization of discount of $7,627.

The assets and liabilities of these properties are segregated in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2001. The components are as follows:

6.     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 partnership owns and operates an office building in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. Presidential and PDL, Inc. have an aggregate 31% general and limited partner interest in Home Mortgage Partnership at December 31, 2002. This interest has increased from 26% owned prior to 2001 as a result of a 1% interest acquired for a purchase price of $50,000 in 2001 and a 4% interest acquired for $255,500 in 2002. The Company accounts for its

71


Table of Contents

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 is a negative interest and therefore, is classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, captioned “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 prior years, and not due to partnership operating losses.

Summary financial information for Home Mortgage Partnership is as follows:

7.     MINORITY INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIP

Presidential is the General Partner of UTB Associates, a partnership in which Presidential has a 66-2/3% interest. Subsequent to December 31, 2002, Presidential acquired an additional 8-1/3% interest in UTB Associates for a purchase price of $37,763. As the General Partner of UTB Associates, Presidential exercises effective 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 financial statements. The minority interest reflects the minority partners’ equity in the partnership.

8.     LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has an unsecured $250,000 line of credit from a lending institution. The interest rate is 1% above the prime rate and the line of credit expires in February, 2004. Presidential pays a 1% annual fee for the line of credit. There were no borrowings under this line of credit during 2002, 2001 and 2000.

9.     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.

73


Table of Contents

Upon filing the Company’s income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2001, Presidential applied its available 2001 stockholders’ distributions and elected to apply (under Section 858 of the Internal Revenue Code) approximately $838,000 ($.22 per share) of its 2002 stockholders’ distributions to reduce its taxable income for 2001 to zero.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had taxable income (before distributions to stockholders) of approximately $5,234,000 ($1.40 per share), which included approximately $4,935,000 ($1.32 per share) of capital gains. This amount will be reduced by $1,425,000 ($.38 per share) of undistributed capital gains designated as paid under Section 857(b)(3)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code (see below) and by the $1,553,000 ($.42 per share) of its 2002 distributions that were not utilized in reducing the Company’s 2001 taxable income. In addition, the Company may elect to apply any eligible year 2003 distributions to reduce its 2002 taxable income.

As previously stated, in order to retain REIT status, Presidential is required to distribute 90% of its REIT taxable income (exclusive of capital gains). As of December 31, 2002, Presidential has distributed all of the required 90% ($.07 per share) of its 2002 REIT taxable income exclusive of capital gains.

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 857(b)(3)(D), Presidential elected to designate and retain net long-term capital gains of $1,425,000 received in 2002. Presidential subsequently paid a $498,750 income tax on this retained capital gain. Each shareholder (i) includes its pro rata share ($.38 per share) of the Company’s retained capital gain in computing its long-term capital gain, (ii) receives a tax credit for its pro rata share ($.13 per share) of the tax paid by Presidential and (iii) increases the tax basis of its shares ($.25 per share) by the difference between the amount of the capital gain allocated to it and the tax credit received. In addition, although no assurances can be given, the Company currently expects to distribute all of its remaining 2002 taxable income (after the $1,425,000 retained capital gain) of approximately $2,256,000 ($.60 per share) during 2003 and, accordingly, has made no provisions for income taxes other than the $498,750 for the retained gain.

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

10.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Presidential is not a party to any material legal proceedings. The Company may 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, with or without the Company’s knowledge, of hazardous substances at any of its properties could h ave an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

11.     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 four states (primarily New York and New Jersey). The real estate securing 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.

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.

12.     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 15, no shares of common stock of Presidential are reserved.

13.   DISTRIBUTIONS ON COMMON STOCK

For income tax purposes, distributions paid on common stock are allocated as follows:

                         
    Total   Taxable   Taxable
Year   Distribution   Ordinary Income   Capital Gain
             
2002
  $ 0.64     $ 0.10     $ 0.54  
2001
    0.64       0.48       0.16  
2000
    0.64       0.04       0.60  

Designated Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains:

In addition, on December 31, 2002, the Company elected to retain $0.38 per share of long-term capital gains received in 2002. This undistributed long-term capital gain of $0.38 per share is taxable to shareholders as a long-term capital gains distribution. Shareholders will receive a tax credit of $0.13 per share and should increase the tax basis of their shares by $0.25 per share.

14.   STOCK COMPENSATION

During the first quarter of each year, three directors of the Company each receive 1,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock as partial payment for directors’ fees for the year. As a result of these transactions, the Company records an amount for directors’ fees based on the market value of the Class B common stock at the grant date, records additions to the Company’s Class B common stock of $300 at par value of $.10 per share and the balance is added to additional paid-in capital.

Stock compensation activity for the three years ended December 31, 2002 was as follows:

                 
    Market Value   Total
Year   per Share   Directors' Fees
   
 
2002
  $ 6.511     $ 19,533  
2001
    5.645       16,935  
2000
    6.075       18,225  

15.     STOCK OPTION PLANS

In 1999, the Company adopted a Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Stock Option Plan”). The 1999 Stock Option Plan provides that

76


Table of Contents

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 60,000 shares were granted to three of the Company’s officers at an exercise price of $6.375 per share. All of the options are exercisable at December 31, 2002 and expire on November 10, 2005. No other options have been granted, exercised or cancelled under this plan. The Company has agreed that to the extent that any of the existing stock options held by these officers are either exercised or lapse, the Company will grant new options in the amount of the stock options that have either been exercised or lapse, which new options will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Class B common stock on the date that the new option is actually granted, will have a term of six years from the date such new option is granted and will be otherwise subject to the terms of the 1999 Stock Option Plan or any successor plan.

16.   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 contracts were amended effective January 1, 2002 to change the benefit commencement date for three active officers to four years after they actually retire. 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 prior assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 8% for 1999, decreasing gradually each successive year to 5% in 2002. The revised assumed health care cost trend rate at December 31, 2001 was 11% for 2001, decreasing gradually each successive year until it reaches 5% by the year 2013.

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

17.   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.

19.   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, bear interest at 8% per annum, payable quarterly, and the principal is due at maturity on November 30, 2004. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, Presidential recognized interest income on these notes of $29,400, $29,400 and $29,481, respectively.

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 $1,326,512 as of December 31, 2002, and a net carrying amount of $389,916, after deducting discounts and deferred gains. Presidential received interest of $345,090, $195,444 and $164,512 from Ivy during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, on these loans.

In addition, in 2002, 2001 and 2000, Presidential recognized $782, $8,343 and $32,333, respectively, of income representing the amortization of discounts on notes receivable.

One of the notes has an outstanding principal balance of $4,770,050 at December 31, 2002. This note was received by the Company in 1991 for nonrecourse loans that had been previously written off by the Company. Accordingly, this note was recorded at zero except for a $155,584 portion of the note that was adequately secured and, as of December 31, 2002, has been repaid. 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 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 $8,733 of principal payments and $195,819 of interest on this loan during 2002, $15,961 of principal payments and $43,477 of interest during 2001 and $14,565 of principal payments and $2,940 of interest during 2000. The Company does not expect to recover any material principal amounts on this note; amounts received from Scorpio will be applied to unpaid, unaccrued interest and recognized as income when received.

All outstanding loans from Ivy at December 31, 2002 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 from 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.

20.   ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been determined using available market information and various valuation estimation methodologies. Considerable judgement 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.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of financial instruments:

                                   
      December 31, 2002   December 31, 2001

    37,192       38,051       37,606       38,738  

  (1)   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, 2002 and 2001. 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, 2002 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.

21.   FUTURE MINIMUM ANNUAL BASE RENTS

Future minimum annual base rental revenue for the next five years for commercial real estate owned at December 31, 2002, and subject to non-cancelable operating leases is as follows:

         
Year Ending December 31,        
2003
  $ 858,849  
2004
    354,138  
2005
    154,387  
2006
    107,820  
2007
    28,303  
 
   
 
Total
  $ 1,503,497  
 
   
 

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.

  (1)   Amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the reclassification from revenues to discontinued operations for the Sunwood Apartments property, the University Towers Professional Space Lease property and the Towers Shoppers Parcade property, which were sold during 2002. In addition, adjustments have been made to present investment income as other income, rather than as a part of revenues.
 
      The amounts have also been adjusted to reflect the restatement of the amounts for Home Mortgage Partnership to equity in income of partnership (see Note 23).
 
  (2)   Net income for the second quarter of 2002 includes the recognition of a previously deferred gain of $3,750,000 from the 1984 sale of the New Haven property as a result of a $3,750,000 partial principal payment received on the note.
 
  (3)   Earnings per common share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of quarterly earnings per share may not equal the total computed for the year, as is the case in 2002.

23.   RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the issuance of the 2001 financial statements, the Company determined that its investment in the Home Mortgage Partnership should be accounted for under the equity method, instead of the previous accounting, which treated the Home Mortgage Partnership as a consolidated subsidiary. The equity method was deemed to be appropriate due to certain provisions in the partnership agreement which prevent the Company from exercising unilateral control over the Home Mortgage Partnership. As a result, the 2001 and 2000 financial statements have been restated. In addition, the net amount recognized in the balance sheet for the contractual pension benefit liability has been reclassified to reflect its different components on a gross basis, including an intangible asset and accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effect of this reclassification was to decrease stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2000 by $1,438,680.

The restatement did not affect previously reported net income or earnings per common share, but affected numerous accounts on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, the most significant of which are summarized below:
