PART I.

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, “we”, “us”, “our”, “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, we have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for Federal and State income tax purposes. See (e) Qualification as a REIT. We own, directly or indirectly, interests in real estate and interests in entities which own real estate.

On December 16, 2016, the “Company” and its newly formed operating partnership, Presidential Realty Operating Partnership LP (“Presidential OP”), entered into an interest contribution agreement (the “Initial Agreement”) with First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated (“FC REIT”), First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership (the “FC OP”), Township Nine Owner, LLC (T9/JV), Capital Station Holdings, LLC, Capital Station Member, LLC, Capital Station 65 LLC and Avalon Jubilee LLC. On January 6, 2017, the Company and the other parties to the Initial Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Initial Agreement (the “Amendment,” and, together with the Initial Agreement, the “Agreement”) and FC OP entered into the Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”) of Presidential OP, as limited partner, with the Company as general partner. The Agreement contemplated that the Company would acquire from FC OP its 31.3333% interest in the owner of a residential community referred to as the “Avalon Property” and 66% percent (the “T9 Transferred Interest”) of its 92% interest (FC/T9 Interest) in the owner of a development property known as the “T9 Property.” The purchase price for the interests is payable in limited partnership interests in Presidential OP (“Presidential OP Units”) convertible under certain conditions into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.

The Company’s acquisition of the interest in the Avalon Property was completed on January 6, 2017. The Avalon Property consists of 251 non-contiguous single-family, residential lots and a 10,000 square foot clubhouse, within the Jubilee at Los Lunas subdivision located in Los Lunas, New Mexico (the “Avalon Property”). At the Closing, in exchange for the contribution to Presidential OP of FC OP’s membership interests in Avalon, FC OP received 4,632,000 Presidential OP Units in, and became a limited partner of, Presidential OP. Such limited partnership interests are convertible, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, into shares of Class B common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the Closing, FC REIT paid $800,000 to Presidential to be used as operating capital.

On March 31, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into a second amendment to the Agreement pursuant to which the T9 Transferred Interest was assigned to PRES-T9 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential OP (PRES-T9). PRES-T9 was admitted as a member of the T9/JV. The Second Amendment also provides for the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to the issuance and delivery of 100% of the Presidential OP Units to be issued in connection with the transaction. Those Presidential OP Units will be held back (the “Holdback Units”) until a new appraisal of the FC/T9 Interest has been obtained and the loan secured by the T9 Properties has been extended or refinanced. The loan is currently in default. Presidential has an opportunity for 30 days to endeavor to obtain an extension or refinancing of the loan. Thereafter, the FC Parties will continue to seek an extension/refinancing of the loan. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing are not obtained within 180 days, then the FC Parties and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either the FC Parties or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Transferred Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.

The number of Presidential OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt (the extended/refinanced loan) at that time. These adjustments could result in a material change in the number of Presidential OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. The final number of Presidential OP Units will be determined by taking the amount of the new appraisal, subtracting therefrom the amount of the extended/refinanced loan and the legal costs and expenses incurred by the Company in securing the extended/refinanced loan and multiplying the amount thereby obtained by 66%.  As a result of the conditional nature of the transfer of the Transferred Interest, the Company will not be reflecting the Transferred Interest in its financial statements until the conditions in the Second Amendment have been satisfied and the applicable number of OP Units has been determined and issued.

In connection with the Agreement, Palisades Pacific Realty Trust, Inc (“Palisades”) became a consultant to the Company to provide services relating to the integration of the First Capital properties (the interests in the Avalon Property and T9 Property) and in connection with potential capital raising activities. The Company paid Palisades $200,000 and reimbursed certain expenses approved by the Company. Palisades notified the Company on March 1, 2017 that they were ceasing to provide services thus terminating the arrangement. Palisades has requested reimbursement of certain other expenses which the Company believes it is not responsible for. 

In connection with and as a condition of the Agreement, on January 6, 2017, the Company entered into various agreements with the officers, directors and Management of the Company to restructure amounts owed to them as well as change the equity compensation due or held by them. The Company entered into an agreement with Signature Group Advisors, LLC (“Signature”), an affiliate of Nickolas W. Jekogian, III, a director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and an adviser to the Company (the “Signature Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) Signature will receive $1,000,000 payable in cash as consideration for sourcing, negotiating and documenting the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (“Transaction Fee”), which will become earned, due and payable upon the closing by the Company or Presidential OP of a preferred stock offering (or similar instrument) of at least $50,000,000 in gross proceeds; and (ii) commencing on the closing for the T9 Property under the Agreement, Signature will be engaged as a consultant to the Company for a four year term. The fee payable to Signature as a consultant (the “Consulting Fee”) will be $500,000 per annum, payable in cash in arrears on each anniversary of the closing for the T9 Property; provided, however, that no portion of the Consulting Fee will be earned or paid unless and until the net asset value of the Company is at least $200,000,000.

On January 6, 2017, the Company and Mr. Alexander Ludwig, our President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Ludwig as of such date in consideration for the issuance of (x) 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company and (y) an option to purchase an additional 550,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The exercise of such option is subject to certain conditions, including that the issuance of any shares of Class B common stock of the Company covered by Mr. Ludwig’s option would not be deemed “Excess Shares” as that term is defined in our certificate of incorporation. The exercise price of the option is $0.00.

On January 6, 2017, Mr. Jekogian entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the (x) cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Jekogian as of such date and (y) termination of his Employment Agreement effective as of such date. Mr. Jekogian will continue as an employee of the Company in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on a month-to-month basis until such time as otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. It is expected that his salary will remain unchanged.

On January 6, 2017, each of Richard Brandt, Robert Feder and Jeffrey Joseph, non-management directors of the Company, and Jeffrey Rogers, a former non-management director of the Company, entered into Issuance and Release Agreements for the issuance of an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company in consideration of the release of the Company’s obligations to pay past due and current director’s fees, of which 90,000 were issued to the current directors for their services in connection with the Agreement.

On January 6, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into an Acknowledgement and Certification (the “Shareholder Certification”) with Mr. Jekogian, The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust (the “Trust”), FC OP and FC REIT, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to, among other things, (i) exchange its shares of Class A stock for shares of Class B stock of the Company upon the occurrence and satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) refrain from taking certain actions, and (iii) vote its shares of Class A stock in favor of certain actions. Pursuant to such Shareholder Certification, the Company agreed not to issue or cause to be issued any additional shares of its Class A stock.

In connection with the foregoing, certain holders of Class A common stock of the Company, representing an aggregate of 49,000 shares of Class A common stock, entered into a Proxy and Option to Purchase with The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust designating The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust as proxy to vote on all matters with respect to their shares. In addition, such agreement granted The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust an option to purchase such shares at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. During the first quarter the Trust exercised its option and purchased 49,000 shares of Class A common stock. The Company was not a party to that agreement.

The shares of Class B common stock of the Company issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement were issued in reliance on the exemption from securities registration requirements contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had a loss from continuing operations. This combined with a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency, has been detrimental to our operations and could potentially affect our ability to meet our obligations and continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of strategies to achieve profitability and to increase working capital by raising debt and/or equity. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

We have only one business segment: our real estate interests. Our principal assets fall into the following categories:

Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a REIT that meets certain requirements is not subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders, if at least 90% of its “real estate investment trust taxable income” (exclusive of capital gains) is so distributed. Since January 1, 1982, the Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT. We sustained losses in 2016 and 2015 and, accordingly, did not pay any dividends in 2016 and 2015.

While we intend to operate in such a manner as to be taxed as a REIT, and to pay dividends in an amount sufficient to maintain REIT status, we cannot promise that we will, in fact, continue to be taxed as a REIT or that the Company will have cash available to pay any dividends that may be required to maintain REIT status. We were not required to pay any dividends in 2016, and believe that we will not be required to pay dividends in 2017 to maintain our REIT status. See (e) Qualification as a REIT and Item 5. - Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

We currently maintain a website at www.presrealty.com. We file annual, quarterly and periodic reports, proxy statements and other information electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which filings are available at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov.) free of charge, or at its public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information about the public reference room.

Our general investment strategy is to continue our REIT status, make investments in real estate assets that offer attractive current yields and, in some cases, potential for capital appreciation. Management plans to utilize its experience in real estate investing to grow our asset base. The Company’s board adopted a new business/investment strategy in March 2017 to focus on assets in the health care sector.

Our investment policy is not contained in or subject to restrictions included in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws and there are no limits in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws on the percentage of assets that it may invest in any one type of asset or the percentage of securities of any one issuer that it may acquire. The investment policy may, therefore, be changed by our Board of Directors of the Company without the concurrence of the holders of its outstanding stock. However, to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must restrict our activities to those permitted under the Code. See (e) Qualification as a REIT.

Since 1982, we have operated in a manner intended to permit us to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code. We intend to continue to operate in a manner to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, we cannot promise that we will be able to continue to operate in such a manner or to remain qualified.

In any year that we qualify as a REIT and meet other conditions, including the distribution to stockholders of at least 90% of our “real estate investment trust taxable income” (excluding long-term capital gains but before a deduction for dividends paid), we will be entitled to deduct the distributions that we pay to our stockholders in determining our ordinary income and capital gains that are subject to Federal income taxation (see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Income not distributed is subject to tax at rates applicable to a domestic corporation. In addition, we are 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 our operations to those activities that are permitted under the Code and to the holding of assets that a REIT is permitted to hold.

We cannot promise that we will continue to be taxed as a REIT, that we will have sufficient cash to pay dividends in order to maintain REIT status or that we will make cash distributions in the future. In addition, even if we continue 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.

The real estate business is highly competitive in all respects. In all phases of our business we face competition from companies with greater financial and other resources. To the extent that we seek to acquire additional properties or originate new loans, we face competition from other potential purchasers or lenders with greater financial resources.

Obtaining tenants for our rental property is also highly competitive. We face competition from newer buildings and from property owners who have more financial resources available to them for capital improvements to their properties.

At December 31, 2016, we employed 4 people, two of whom are employed at our executive office and two of whom are employed at an individual property site.

In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluation of our business. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to us, or which we currently consider immaterial, may also impair our business and operations.

We have limited working capital and may not be able to continue as a going concern.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had a loss from continuing operations. This, combined with a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency, has been detrimental to our operations and could potentially affect our ability to meet our obligations and continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of our business plan to achieve profitability and to increase working capital by raising debt and/or equity.

The Company is highly leveraged and may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to pay its debt service and operating expenses. 

The Company’s largest asset and its primary income producing asset, the Mapletree Industrial Center, acts as security for a mortgage loan.  There is no guaranty that the Mapletree Property will continue to generate revenues sufficient to pay the debt service on the loan and, together with other income, to pay the Company’s operating expenses.  If the Company is unable to service the debt, or pay its operating expenses, then the Company will be required to sell the Mapletree Property and may cease to qualify as a REIT. The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.   

Volatility in capital and credit markets, or other unfavorable changes in economic conditions, could adversely impact us.

The capital and credit markets are subject to volatility and disruption. We may not be able to obtain new debt financing or refinance our existing debt on favorable terms or at all, which would adversely affect our liquidity, our ability to make distributions to stockholders and acquire and dispose of assets. Other weakened economic conditions, including job losses and high unemployment rates, could adversely affect rental rates and occupancy levels. Unfavorable changes in economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results.

Additional key economic risks which may adversely affect conditions in the markets in which we operate include the following:

Difficulties of selling real estate could limit our flexibility.

We intend to continue to evaluate the potential disposition of assets which may no longer meet our investment objectives. When we decide to sell an asset, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers in a timely manner as real estate investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly, especially when market conditions are poor. These factors may limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions and may also limit our ability to utilize sales proceeds as a source of liquidity, which would adversely affect our ability to make distributions to stockholders or repay debt.

Competition could limit our ability to lease our properties or increase or maintain rental income.

There are numerous alternatives which compete with our properties in attracting tenants. Some of these other properties may be newer and offer more modern amenities. This competitive environment could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease our present properties as well as on the rents realized.

Our acquisition strategy may not produce the cash flows expected.

We may acquire additional operating properties on a selective basis. Our acquisition activities are subject to a number of risks, including the following:

A portion of any acquisitions we may make in the near future will have to be made through the issuance and/or sale of shares of our common stock and will likely result in our ownership together with other partners. We may not be able to identify suitable partners or properties on terms acceptable to us and may not achieve expected returns or other benefits.

We may change our targeted investments without stockholder consent.

We have no restrictions in our Certificate of Incorporation or other organization documents with respect to the types of investments we may make. We may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities, and we may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines at any time without the consent of our common stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments that we have made in the past. A change in our targeted investments or investment guidelines may increase our exposure to real estate market risk, interest rate risk, default risk and concentration risk, all of which could adversely affect the value of our common stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

A stockholder’s interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional stock.

Our common stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any stock we issue in the future. Therefore, in the event that we (1) sell stock in the future, (2) sell securities that are convertible into stock, (3) issue stock in a private offering, (4) issue stock upon the exercise of options granted to our directors, executives, employees or others, or (5) issue stock to sellers of assets acquired by us in connection with an exchange of limited partnership interests in the our operating partnership, holders of our common stock will experience dilution of their percentage ownership in us. Depending on the terms of such transactions, most notably the price per share, which may be less than the price paid per share in our public or private offerings, and the value of our properties, holders of our common stock might also experience a dilution in the book value per share of their stock.

A stockholder’s interest in us may be diluted if we issue additional units in our operating partnership.

Holders of units of our operating partnership will receive distributions at the same time as the partnership makes distributions to the Company. Units of our operating partnership will generally have the right to exchange their units of the operating partnership for shares of our common stock. In the event we issue additional units in our operating partnership, investors holding our common stock will experience potential dilution in their percentage ownership interest in us. Depending on the terms of such transactions, holders of our common stock might also experience a dilution in the book value per share of their stock.

Our organization documents permit our board of directors to issue stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, with terms that may have priority over the rights of our common stockholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our board of directors may issue, classify and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, and limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any of our preferred stock. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, with terms and conditions that could have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock and convertible or exchangeable securities could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our common stock.

Our stockholders have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks of an investment in us.

Our board’s broad discretion in setting policies and our stockholders’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks of an investment in us.

We have limited assets so that an adverse event occurring with respect to one asset may not be offset by the performance of the remaining assets.

At the end of 2016 we owned one investment: Mapletree Industrial Center. Since the beginning of 2017 we have acquired interests (less than 100%) in two owners of properties that are not expected to generate revenues in the near future. Due to the small number of assets, we are vulnerable to significant losses as a percentage of our assets if there is an adverse effect to one of the properties.

Losses from catastrophes may exceed our insurance coverage.

We carry comprehensive property and liability insurance on our properties, which we believe is of the type and amount customarily obtained on similar real property assets by similar types of owners. We intend to obtain similar coverage for properties we acquire in the future. However, some losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses from floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes, may be subject to coverage limitations. We exercise our discretion in determining amounts, coverage limits, and deductible provisions of insurance to maintain appropriate insurance on our investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. If we suffer a catastrophic loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement value of our lost investment, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the property. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also may reduce the feasibility of using insurance proceeds to replace a property after it has been damaged or destroyed.

Investments through joint ventures involve risks not present in investments in which we are the sole investor.

We have invested, and may continue to invest, as a joint venture partner in joint ventures. These investments involve risks, including the possibility the other joint venture partner may have business goals which are inconsistent with ours, possess the ability to take action or withhold consent contrary to our requests, or become insolvent and require us to assume and fulfill the joint venture’s financial obligations. We and our joint venture partner may each have the right to initiate a buy-sell arrangement, which could cause us to sell our interest, or acquire our joint venture partner’s interest, at a time when we otherwise would not have entered into such a transaction. Each joint venture agreement is individually negotiated, and our ability to operate, finance, and/or dispose of a community in our sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture agreement.

Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present when acquiring real estate directly, including for example:

Tax matters, including failure to qualify as a REIT, could have adverse consequences.

We may not continue to qualify as a REIT in the future. The Internal Revenue Service may challenge our qualification as a REIT for prior years and new legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations, or court decisions may change the tax laws or the application of the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal tax consequences of such qualification.

For any taxable year that we fail to qualify as a REIT and do not qualify under statutory relief provisions:

We may face other tax liabilities in the future which may impact our cash flow. These potential tax liabilities may be calculated on our income or property values at either the corporate or individual property levels. Any additional tax expense incurred would decrease the cash available for cash distributions to our common shareholders, perpetual preferred unit holders, and non-controlling interest holders.

We depend on our key personnel.

Our success depends in part on our ability to attract and retain the services of executive officers and other personnel. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel in the real estate industry, and the loss of key personnel could have an adverse effect on us.

Insufficient cash flows could limit our ability to pay our operating expenses to make required payments for debt obligations or pay distributions to shareholders.

All of our income is derived from rental and other income from our Mapletree property. As a result, our performance depends in large part on our ability to collect rent from tenants, which could be negatively affected by a number of factors, including the following:

Cash flow could be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest with respect to debt financing. In order for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annual dividends to our stockholders equal to a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gains. This requirement limits the cash available to meet required principal payments on our debt.

We may be unable to renew, repay or refinance our outstanding debt.

We are subject to the risk that indebtedness on our properties will not be renewed, repaid or refinanced when due or the terms of any renewal or refinancing will not be as favorable as the existing terms of such indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we might be forced to dispose of one or more of the properties on disadvantageous terms, which might result in losses to us. Such losses could have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and pay amounts due on our debt. Furthermore, if a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose on the property, appoint a receiver and exercise rights under an assignment of rents and leases, or pursue other remedies, all with a consequent loss of our revenues and asset value. Foreclosures could also create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, thereby hindering our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements of the Code.

Issuances of additional debt may adversely impact our financial condition.

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rental and occupancy rates of our properties, dividend payment rates to our stockholders, capital expenditures, costs of operations and potential acquisitions. If our capital requirements vary materially from our plans, we may require additional financing earlier than anticipated. If we issue more debt, we could become more leveraged, resulting in increased risk of default on our obligations and an increase in our debt service requirements, both of which could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to access debt and equity capital markets in the future.

Share ownership limits and our ability to issue additional equity securities may prevent takeovers beneficial to shareholders and limits our ability to make investments using our common stock.

For us to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must have 100 or more shareholders during the year and not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals. As defined for federal income tax purposes, the term “individuals” includes a number of specified entities. To minimize the possibility of us failing to qualify as a REIT under this test, our articles of incorporation include restrictions on transfers of our shares and ownership limits. The ownership limits, as well as our ability to issue other classes of equity securities, may delay, defer, or prevent a change in control. These provisions may also deter tender offers for our common shares which may be attractive to you or limit your opportunity to receive a premium for your shares which might otherwise exist if a third party were attempting to effect a change in control transaction.

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits ownership of our common stock by a single holder or group of related holders to 9.2%. Until we can increase the market price of our stock and increase our asset base, the number of shares that can be issued to any single holder or group of related holders adversely affects our ability to use our common stock as the purchase price for new assets. We have issued Presidential OP Units convertible into shares of our common stock but the ability to convert those units is dependent upon the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares.

Our share price will fluctuate.

The market price and trading volume of our common shares are subject to fluctuation due to general market conditions, the risks discussed in this report and other matters, including the following:

The form, timing and/or amount of dividend distributions in future periods may vary and be impacted by economic and other considerations.

The form, timing and/or amount of dividend distributions will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on actual cash from operations, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and other factors as the Board may consider relevant. The Board may modify the form, timing and/or amount of dividends from time to time.

Our common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets OTCQB market which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets OTCQB market, which is a significantly more limited trading market than the New York Stock Exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market. The quotation of the Company’s shares on the OTCQB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCQB, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Due to lower trading volumes in shares of our common stock, there may be a lower likelihood of one’s orders for shares of our common stock being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted at the time of one’s order entry.

Our common stock is thinly traded, so stockholders may be unable to sell at or near asking prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Currently, our common stock is quoted in the Pink Sheets OTCQB market and the trading volume the Company anticipates to develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in unlisted stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending unlisted stocks because they are considered speculative, volatile and thinly traded. The Pink Sheets OTCQB market is an inter-dealer market much less regulated than the major exchanges, and our common stock is subject to abuses, volatility and shorting. Thus, there is currently no broadly followed and established trading market for our common stock. An established trading market may never develop or be maintained. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. Absence of an active trading market reduces the liquidity of the shares traded there.

The trading volume of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, limited and sporadic. As a result of such trading activity, the quoted price for our common stock on the OTCQB may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its fair market value. Further, if we cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of our common stock or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock and as a result, the market value of our common stock likely would decline.

We are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.

Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. This classification would severely and adversely affect any market liquidity for our common stock. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.  In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule required by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth: 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our common stock, if and when our common stock becomes publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our common stock may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our common stock. Our common stock, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our stockholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their common stock.

Newly developed and acquired properties may not produce the cash flow that we expect, which could adversely affect our overall financial performance.

In deciding whether to acquire or develop a particular property, we make assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. If our estimated return on investment proves to be inaccurate, it may fail to perform as we expected. With certain properties, our business plan contemplates reposition or redeveloping that property with the goal of increasing jts cash flow, value or both. Our estimate of the costs of repositioning or redeveloping an acquired property may prove to be inaccurate, which may result in our failure to meet our profitability goals. Additionally, we may acquire new properties not fully leased or developed and the cash flow from those properties may be insufficient to pay the operating expenses and debt service associated with that property until the property is more fully leased or developed. If one or more of these new properties do not perform as expected or we are unable to successfully integrate new properties into our operations, our financial performance and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected.

A concentration of our investments in the healthcare sector may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in that sector.

If our investments are concentrated in the healthcare sector which our new investment/business strategy contemplates, we will be subject to risks inherent in investments in a single type of property and the potential effects on our revenues, and as a result, our cash available for distribution to our stockholders, resulting from a downturn or slowdown in the healthcare sector could be more pronounced then if we had a more fully diversified portfolio.

Tenants of healthcare properties may derive a substantial portion of their income from third-party payors.

Many tenants of healthcare facilities derive a substantial portion of their net operating revenues from third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid programs. These programs are highly regulated by federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and are subject to frequent and substantial change. There are no assurances that payments from governmental payors will remain at levels comparable to current levels or will, in the future, be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to patients eligible for reimbursement under these programs.

As of December 31, 2016, we owned 100% of the Mapletree Industrial Center located in Palmer, Massachusetts.

On September 22, 2016 the Company signed a new sublease for their executive office space under a month to month lease with Nexelus for a monthly rental payment of $1,500 or $18,000 per year. Either party may terminate the sublease upon 30 days prior written notice.

The chart below lists the Company’s properties as of December 31, 2016.

Mapletree Industrial Center – Palmer, Massachusetts

We own 100% of the Mapletree Industrial Center located in Palmer, Massachusetts. This is a multi-tenant rental facility which was originally the Wickwire-Spencer Wire Mill until 1970 at which time it became rental space. The property consists of 31 buildings located on approximately 48 acres. Major tenants include Creative Material Technologies office and lab, Consolidated Lumber Transport office, Australian natural Soapworks, ESSROC Materials (a Portland cement distributor), Michael Houle, JP Mc Carthy & Sons and American Cable Assembly. The property offers traditional office space and industrial/warehouse space along with vacant land with rail access ready for development. The buildings comprise a total of 418,679 square feet, of which 336,259 is rentable. The property has a carrying value of $1,169,459, less accumulated depreciation of $646,770, resulting in a net carrying value of $522,689 at December 31, 2016. 

In the opinion of management, all of our properties are adequately covered by insurance in accordance with normal insurance practices. All real estate owned by us is owned in fee simple interest with title insurance.

There is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Civ. Act. No. 16-cv-08633) an action entitled JFURTI, LLC and JACOB FRYDMAN, Suing Individually and Derivatively and On Behalf of All Similarly Situated Limited Partners and Shareholders in the Name and Right of FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE TRUST INCORPORATED and FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., Plaintiffs, against FORUM PARTNERS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC; RUSSELL C. PLATT; MARBLE 15 SCS; PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION; PRESIDENTIAL REALTY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP; SUNEET SINGAL; JAVIER VANDE STEEG; MICHAEL MCCOOK; FRANK GRANT; RICHARD LEIDER; FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE ADVISORS, LP; FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS, LLC; FIRST CAPITAL BORROWER, LLC; UNITED 25250 TILDEN, LLC; and PHOENIX AMERICAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. Defendants, and FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE TRUST INCORPORATED and FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., Nominal Derivative Defendants. The action has been brought under the Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and for breach of contract and fraudulent conveyance and seeks treble, actual and punitive damages, injunctive relief, an accounting and attorneys’ fees. The amended complaint alleges twenty one causes of action that the defendants engaged in a fraudulent scheme (the “Fraudulent Scheme”) to take control of First Capital REIT (a publicly registered fully reporting 1933 and 1934 Act public company that is organized as a real estate investment trust), and use First Capital REIT to divert monies for their own purposes. The underlying actions alleged against the Company arise from the Company’s transactions and proposed transactions with First Capital REIT. The plaintiff’s seek injunctions against the FC Parties enjoining them from disposing of any assets and setting aside any conveyances that have taken place. The action was initially commenced in November 2016 and the RICO claims were added by way of an amended complaint filed December 29, 2016. On February 17, 2017 a motion to dismiss the complaint was filed on behalf of the Company and other defendants. That motion is still in the briefing stage. The Company believes that as to the Company and its operating partnership, the claims have no merit.

Not applicable.

PART II.

(a) The principal market for our Class A common stock (ticker symbol PDNLA) and our Class B common stock (ticker symbol PDNLB) is the Pink Sheets OTCQB market.

The range of high low bid information for the Class A and Class B common stock for the last two calendar years are set forth below:

(b)  The number of aggregate record holders for the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock at April 7, 2017 was 361 holders.

(c ) Under 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. In 2016 and 2015, the Company did not pay any dividends. Management does not believe that any dividend will be payable in respect to 2016. We cannot promise that we will continue to be taxed as a REIT, or that we will have sufficient cash to pay dividends in order to maintain REIT status. See Item 1. - Business – (e) Qualification as a REIT above.

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

Overview

Presidential 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. Since 1982, we have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for Federal and State income tax purposes. We own, directly or indirectly, interests in real estate and interests in entities which own real estate.

On December 16, 2016, the “Company” and its newly formed operating partnership, Presidential Realty Operating Partnership LP (“Presidential OP”), entered into an interest contribution agreement (the “Initial Agreement”) with First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated (“FC REIT”), First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership (the “FC OP”), Township Nine Owner, LLC (T9/JV), Capital Station Holdings, LLC, Capital Station Member, LLC, Capital Station 65 LLC and Avalon Jubilee LLC. On January 6, 2017, the Company and the other parties to the Initial Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Initial Agreement (the “Amendment,” and, together with the Initial Agreement, the “Agreement”) and FC OP entered into the Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”) of Presidential OP, as limited partner, with the Company as general partner. The Agreement contemplated that the Company would acquire from FC OP its 31.3333% interest in the owner of a residential community referred to as the “Avalon Property” and 66% percent (the “T9 Transferred Interest”) of its 92% interest (FC/T9 Interest) in the owner of a development property known as the “T9 Property.” The purchase price for the interests is payable in limited partnership interests in Presidential OP (“Presidential OP Units”) convertible under certain conditions into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.

The Company’s acquisition of the interest in the Avalon Property was completed on January 6, 2017. The Avalon Property consists of 251 non-contiguous single-family, residential lots and a 10,000 square foot clubhouse, within the Jubilee at Los Lunas subdivision located in Los Lunas, New Mexico (the “Avalon Property”). At the Closing, in exchange for the contribution to Presidential OP of FC OP’s membership interests in Avalon, FC OP received 4,632,000 Presidential OP Units in, and became a limited partner of, Presidential OP. Such limited partnership interests are convertible, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, into shares of Class B common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the Closing, FC REIT paid $800,000 to Presidential to be used as operating capital.

On March 31, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into a second amendment to the Agreement pursuant to which the T9 Transferred Interest was assigned to PRES-T9 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential OP (PRES-T9). PRES-T9 was admitted as a member of the T9/JV. The Second Amendment also provides for the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to the issuance and delivery of 100% of the Presidential OP Units to be issued in connection with the transaction. Those Presidential OP Units will be held back (the “Holdback Units”) until a new appraisal of the FC/T9 Interest has been obtained and the loan secured by the T9 Properties has been extended or refinanced. The loan is currently in default. Presidential has an opportunity for 30 days to endeavor to obtain an extension or refinancing of the loan. Thereafter, the FC Parties will continue to seek an extension/refinancing of the loan. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing are not obtained within 180 days, then the FC Parties and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either the FC or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Transferred Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.

The number of Presidential OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt (the extended/refinanced loan) at that time. These adjustments could result in a material change in the number of Presidential OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. The final number of Presidential OP Units will be determined by taking the amount of the new appraisal, subtracting therefrom the amount of the extended/refinanced loan and the legal costs and expenses incurred by the Company in securing the extended/refinanced loan and multiplying the amount thereby obtained by 66%.  As a result of the conditional nature of the transfer of the Transferred Interest, the Company will not be reflecting the Transferred Interest in its financial statements until the conditions in the Second Amendment have been satisfied and the applicable number of OP Units has been determined and issued.

In connection with the Agreement, Palisades Pacific Realty Trust, Inc (“Palisades”) became a consultant to the Company to provide services relating to the integration of the First Capital properties (the interests in the Avalon Property and T9 Property) and in connection with potential capital raising activities. The Company paid Palisades $200,000 and reimbursed certain expenses approved by the Company. Palisades notified the Company on March 1, 2017 that they were ceasing to provide services thus terminating the arrangement. Palisades has requested reimbursement of certain other expenses which the Company believes it is not responsible for.

In connection with and as a condition of the Agreement, on January 6, 2017, the Company entered into various agreements with the officers, directors and Management of the Company to restructure amounts owed to them as well as change the equity compensation due or held by them. The Company entered into an agreement with Signature Group Advisors, LLC (“Signature”), an affiliate of Nickolas W. Jekogian, III, a director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and an adviser to the Company (the “Signature Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) Signature will receive $1,000,000 payable in cash as consideration for sourcing, negotiating and documenting the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (“Transaction Fee”), which will become earned, due and payable upon the closing by the Company or Presidential OP of a preferred stock offering (or similar instrument) of at least $50,000,000 in gross proceeds; and (ii) commencing on the closing for the T9 Property under the Agreement, Signature will be engaged as a consultant to the Company for a four year term. The fee payable to Signature as a consultant (the “Consulting Fee”) will be $500,000 per annum, payable in cash in arrears on each anniversary of the closing for the T9 Property; provided, however, that no portion of the Consulting Fee will be earned or paid unless and until the net asset value of the Company is at least $200,000,000.

On January 6, 2017, the Company and Mr. Alexander Ludwig, our President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Ludwig as of such date in consideration for the issuance of (x) 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company and (y) an option to purchase an additional 550,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The exercise of such option is subject to certain conditions, including that the issuance of any shares of Class B common stock of the Company covered by Mr. Ludwig’s option would not be deemed “Excess Shares” as that term is defined in our certificate of incorporation. The exercise price of the option is $0.00.

On January 6, 2017, Mr. Jekogian entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the (x) cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Jekogian as of such date and (y) termination of his Employment Agreement effective as of such date. Mr. Jekogian will continue as an employee of the Company in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on a month-to-month basis until such time as otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. It is expected that his salary will remain unchanged.

On January 6, 2017, each of Richard Brandt, Robert Feder and Jeffrey Joseph, non-management directors of the Company, and Jeffrey Rogers, a former non-management director of the Company, entered into Issuance and Release Agreements for the issuance of an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company in consideration of the release of the Company’s obligations to pay past due and current director’s fees, of which 90,000 were issued to the current directors for their services in connection with the Agreement.

On January 6, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into an Acknowledgement and Certification (the “Shareholder Certification”) with Mr. Jekogian, The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust (the “Trust”), FC OP and FC REIT, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to, among other things, (i) exchange its shares of Class A stock for shares of Class B stock of the Company upon the occurrence and satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) refrain from taking certain actions, and (iii) vote its shares of Class A stock in favor of certain actions. Pursuant to such Shareholder Certification, the Company agreed not to issue or cause to be issued any additional shares of its Class A stock.

In connection with the foregoing, certain holders of Class A common stock of the Company, representing an aggregate of 49,000 shares of Class A common stock, entered into a Proxy and Option to Purchase with The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust designating The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust as proxy to vote on all matters with respect to their shares. In addition, such agreement granted The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust an option to purchase such shares at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. During the first quarter the Trust exercised its option and purchased 49,000 shares of Class A common stock. The Company was not a party to that agreement.

The shares of Class B common stock of the Company issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement were issued in reliance on the exemption from securities registration requirements contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder.

We outsource the management of the Mapletree Industrial Center to Signature Community Management a company owned by our CEO.

We obtain funds for working capital and investment from our available cash, operating activities, and refinancing of mortgage loans on our real estate.

On July 28, 2015, Palmer-Mapletree LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $1,750,000 (the “Loan”) at an interest rate of 6.031%. $934,794 of the loan proceeds were used to repay the prior mortgage loan and line of credit on the Mapletree Property. $123,757 of the Loan proceeds was set aside for capital improvements and reserves for the property. We received net proceeds of $585,125. The Loan matures on August 5, 2025 and requires monthly payments of $11,308. The outstanding balance of the loan and mortgage costs at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1,710,651 and $134,706, respectively and $1,740,462 and $150,438, respectively. The Company is required to maintain certain Financial Covenants. The Company was is in compliance with the covenants at December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies

For the 2016, the Company had a loss from continuing operations. This, combined with a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency, has been detrimental to our operations and could potentially affect our ability to meet our obligations and continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of our business plan to achieve profitability and to increase working capital, raising debt and or equity. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

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 difficult, complex and subjective judgments. Management has discussed with the Audit Committee the implementation of the critical accounting policies described below and the estimates required with respect to such policies.

Real Estate

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

The Company reviews its properties for impairment 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 the recoverability of its investment in real estate based on undiscounted cash flow estimates. 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 affecting the property. Considerable judgment is required in making these estimates and changes in these estimates could cause the estimated cash flows to change and impairment could occur. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s net real estate was carried at $522,689. 

Rental Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes rental revenue on the straight-line basis from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. Certain leases require the tenants to reimburse a pro rata share of real estate taxes, utilities and maintenance costs.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management assesses the collectability of amounts due from tenants and other receivables, using indicators such as past-due accounts, the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history and the ability of the tenant or debtor to meet its payment obligations. Management’s estimate of allowances for doubtful accounts is subject to revision as these factors change. Rental revenue is recorded on the accrual method and rental revenue recognition is generally discontinued when the tenant in occupancy is delinquent for ninety days or more. Bad debt expense is charged for vacated tenant accounts and subsequent receipts collected for those receivables will reduce bad debt expense. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, allowance for doubtful accounts relating to tenant obligations was $2,426 and $790, respectively.

Income Taxes

We operate in a manner intended to enable us to continue to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code. Under those sections, a REIT which meets certain requirements is not subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders, if at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (exclusive of capital gains) is so distributed. As a result of our ordinary tax loss for 2015 there was no requirement to make a distribution in 2016. In addition, no provision for income taxes was required at December 31, 2016. If the Company fails to distribute the required amounts of income to its shareholders, or otherwise fails to meet the REIT requirements, we would fail to qualify as a REIT and substantial adverse tax consequences could result. We believe that we will not be required to pay a dividend in 2017 to maintain our REIT status.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

Revenues increased by $6,859 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of increased occupancy at the Mapletree Industrial Center.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $826,318 compared to $495,377 for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $330,941. The increase was comprised of: (i) an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $87,000, which consists primarily of increased legal and professional fees related the First Capital transaction which was completed on January 6, 2017 (ii) an increase in interest income and fees on mortgage debt incurred in connection with the refinance of the Mapletree property in 2015 and (iii) the decrease in other income of $228,261 from the extinguishment gain recognized on the settlement of the former officers deferred compensation (iv) and a decrease in investment income received from Broadway Partners Fund II of approximately $8,900. This loss was offset by (i) an increase in rental income of $7,059, (ii) and decrease in operating expenses of $9,434.

Balance Sheet

December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015

Net real estate increased by approximately $6,500 as a result of additions and improvements of approximately $51,000 offset by depreciation expense of approximately $45,000, in 2016.

Prepaid expenses decreased by approximately $49,000 primarily as a result of the current year expense of prepaid insurance in connection with the multi-year directors and officers tail policy purchased in 2011 and other insurance expense.

Mortgage escrow increased by approximately $22,000 primarily due to timing of real estate taxes and insurance payments

Accrued liabilities increased by approximately $438,000 primarily due to accrued salary for Nicholas W. Jekogian, CEO as required by his employment contract of $225,000 and $120,000 of accrued expense related to the First Capital transaction and timing of payments at December 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We obtain funds for working capital and investment from our available cash and operating activities, and refinancing of mortgage loans on our real estate.

The Company had a loss from continuing operations at December 31, 2016, combined with a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency, has been detrimental to our operations and could potentially affect our ability to meet our obligations and continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of our strategies to achieve profitability and to increase working capital, raising debt and/ or equity. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

At December 31, 2016, we had approximately $78,400 in available cash, a significant decrease from December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash was due to cash used in operating activities of approximately $284,000, $51,000 used for capital improvements and $30,000 in principal payment on the Mapletree Industrial Center.

In connections with the First Capital transaction in we received $800,000 cash for working capital and expenses related to the transaction.

(a)                 Insurance

The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, auto, workman’s compensation, rental loss and acts of terrorism insurance on its properties. The Company also carries director and officer insurance and a director and officer insurance tail policy. Management believes that its properties are adequately covered by insurance. In 2016, the cost for this insurance was approximately $226,000 including the accretion during the year of $29,000 paid in 2011 for the director and officer insurance tail policy. The Company has renewed its insurance coverage for 2017 and the Company estimates that the premium costs will be approximately $152,000. 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.

(b)                Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities includes interest on the Company’s mortgage portfolio and net cash received from rental property operations. Net cash received from rental property operations was approximately $947,000. Net cash received from rental property operations is before additions and improvements and mortgage amortization.

(c)                 Investing Activities

During 2016, the Company invested approximately $51,000 in additions and improvements to its properties

(d)                Financing Activities 

During 2016, the Company made principal payments of approximately $30,000 in connection with the Mapletree property.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources of the Company.

While we are not required as a smaller reporting company to comply with this Item 7A, we are providing the following general discussion of qualitative market risk.

Our financial instruments consist primarily of notes receivable and mortgage notes payable. Substantially all of these instruments bear interest at fixed rates, so our cash flows from them are not directly impacted by changes in market rates of interest. However, changes in market rates of interest impact the fair values of these fixed rate assets and liabilities. We generally hold our notes receivable until maturity or prepayment and repay our notes payable at maturity or upon sale of the related properties, and, accordingly, any fluctuations in values do not impact our earnings, balance sheet or cash flows. We also have investments in securities available for sale, which are reported at fair value. We evaluate these instruments for other-than-temporary declines in value, and, if such declines were other than temporary, would record a loss on the investments. We do not own any derivative financial instruments or engage in hedging activities.

See Table of Contents to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures or controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that a company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2016. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our President concluded that as of December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

(b) Internal Controls over Financial Reporting 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2016.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. The Company is a smaller reporting company and, as such, management’s report is not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust owns 226,013 shares of Class A common stock and 250,000 shares of Class B common stock. The Trust was formed in September 2009 by Mr. Jekogian for the benefit of family members including Mr. Jekogian's parents, grandparents, wife, sister, children, nieces and nephews. The trustee of the Trust is Mr. Jekogian’s father and Mr. Jekogian remains the protector of the Trust. There is no agreement between the trustee of the Trust and Mr. Jekogian as to how the shares of Class A common stock acquired by the trust will be voted or otherwise dealt with except on January 6, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into the Shareholder Certification with Mr. Jekogian, the Trust, FC OP and FC REIT, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to, among other things, (i) exchange its shares of Class A stock for shares of Class B stock of the Company upon the occurrence and satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) refrain from taking certain actions, and (iii) vote its shares of Class A stock in favor of certain actions. Pursuant to such Shareholder Certification, the Company agreed not to issue or cause to be issued any additional shares of its Class A stock. The terms of the transaction pursuant to which the shares of Class A common stock were acquired by the Trust provide that the Trust will vote its shares of Class A common stock for Mr. Robert Feder and/or Mr. Richard Brandt as directors (subject to their desire to remain as directors); provided that each of them continues to qualify as an independent director under applicable rules, including the rules of any exchange on which either the Class A common stock or the shares of Class B common stock may then be listed and until the occurrence of a Capital Event. “Capital Event” means the receipt by us of at least $20,000,000 in cash or property from a capital raising activity including the following: (a) the sale for cash of shares of the Class A common stock or Class B common stock or securities convertible into shares of the Class A common stock or Class B common stock; (b) the exchange of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock for real estate assets consistent with our status as a REIT; (c) the sale of unsecured subordinated debt instruments issued by us, the proceeds of which may be used to acquire real estate assets which are consistent with our status as a REIT. Mr. Feder died in January 2017.

In connection with the First Capital Transaction, certain holders of Class A common stock of the Company, representing an aggregate of 49,000 shares of Class A common stock, entered into a Proxy and Option to Purchase with Trust designating the Trust as proxy to vote on all matters with respect to their shares. In addition, such agreement granted The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust an option to purchase such shares at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. The Company was not a party to that. Since January 1, 2017, the Trust has acquired those 49,000 Class A shares which are included in the 226,013 Class A shares owned by the Trust. See also a description of the Class A Shareholders Agreement contemplated by the Interest Contribution Agreement described under Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters, Changes in Control.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any director and any executive officer.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has:

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of reports we received, or written representations that no such reports were required for those persons, we believe that, for the year ended December 31, 2016, all statements of beneficial ownership required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission were filed on a timely basis.       

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all officers and employees, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer . The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14 to this report. and is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov . We will provide any person without charge, upon your written request to the company, a copy of such code.

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are Richard Brandt and Jeffrey Joseph. The function of the Audit Committee, which is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act, is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting process of the Company and the audits of the financial statements of the Company. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent (as defined in Section 803A(2) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide). The Board of Directors has adopted a written Charter for the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held four meetings during our last fiscal year.

The Board of Directors has determined that Richard Brandt, a member of the Audit Committee, is financially sophisticated as defined by Section 803B(2)(a)(iii) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. The Board does not believe that it is necessary to have a member of the Audit Committee who meets the definition of a financial expert pursuant to Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K because all of the members of the Audit Committee satisfy the NYSE Amex requirements for Audit Committee membership applicable to NYSE Amex listed companies and, as mentioned above, all the members of the Audit Committee are financially sophisticated individuals as defined by the NYSE Amex Company Guide. In addition, all members of the Audit Committee have been members for at least ten years and are familiar with the business and accounting practices of the Company. The Charter of the Audit Committee is filed as Exhibit A to the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 15, 2009, filed with the SEC on April 27, 2009, and is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

Compensation discussion and analysis

The Company has a Compensation Committee consisting of two independent directors. The Compensation Committee has designed compensation packages for its executive offers which are heavily weighted towards equity compensation realizable upon transactions that raise capital to the Company or which bring assets into the Company. It’s key components are stock options, the value of which are directly tied to the performance of our executives.

Employment Agreements and Stock Option Agreements

Alexander Ludwig On November 8, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ludwig pursuant to which we employ Mr. Ludwig as President and Chief Operating Officer. The employment agreement has a term of eighteen months and may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors for “cause” or by Mr. Ludwig for “good reason,” each as defined in the employment agreement. Mr. Ludwig receives a base salary of $225,000 per annum. Commencing with our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 and for each fiscal year thereafter during the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Ludwig will have the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to $200,000, with the amount determined by the Compensation Committee in its absolute discretion.

On January 8, 2014, the Company and Mr. Alexander Ludwig, a Director, President, Chief Operating Office and Principal Financial Officer of the Company entered into an amendment to Mr. Ludwig’s employment agreement dated November 8, 2011. The amendment provides for (i) the extension of the employment term from May 3, 2013 to December 31, 2015, (ii) continuation of Mr. Ludwig’s base salary through the balance of the term at the rate of $225,000 per annum, (iii) removal of the $200,000 cap on the amount of any annual bonus that might be awarded Mr. Ludwig, (iv) the issuance of a “Transaction Warrant” to Mr. Ludwig upon the occurrence of a Capital Event, and (v) an increase in severance benefits from three months to six months in the event of a termination of Mr. Ludwig’s employment following a change of control or a termination for “good reason” as defined in the employment agreement.

Mr. Ludwig’s employment agreement, as amended, expired at December 31, 2015 but the board agreed to continue Mr. Ludwig’s employment on the same terms as the agreement until otherwise terminated by the board.

On January 6, 2017 as part of the First Capital transaction the Company and Mr. Ludwig our President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Ludwig as of such date in consideration for the issuance of (x) 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company and (y) an option to purchase an additional 550,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The exercise of such option is subject to certain conditions, including that the Company has consummated an equity offering, capital raise or such other offering such that the issuance of any shares of Class B common stock of the Company covered by Mr. Ludwig’s option would not be deemed “Excess Shares” as that term is defined in the certificate of incorporation of the Company. The exercise price is $0.00.

Mr. Ludwig will continue to provide consulting services to and receive compensation from Signature. As a result, Mr. Ludwig may be subject to conflicts of interest. Mr. Ludwig has agreed to keep the independent directors of the Board advised of his activities for and compensation from Signature.

Compensation of Directors

The Directors received 90,000 shares of Class B common stock each on January 6, 2017 as compensation for their services during 2016 and 2015.

As of April 7, 2017, there were 442,533 shares of Class A common stock and 4,746,147 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

The following tables set forth certain information regarding our Class A and Class B common stock beneficially owned as of April 14, 2017, for (i) each stockholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each named executive officer and director, and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group.  A person is considered to beneficially own any shares: (i) over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or (ii) of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days through an exercise of stock options or warrants. Unless otherwise indicated, voting and investment power relating to the shares shown in the table for our directors and executive officers is exercised solely by the beneficial owner or shared by the owner and the owner’s spouse or children.

For purposes of these tables, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 14, 2017.  For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 14, 2017 is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.

Security Ownership of Management

As of April 14, 2017, the directors and executive officers of Presidential owned beneficially the following amounts and percentages of the Class A and Class B common stock of Presidential:

Except as set forth in the notes to the table, each of the owners of the shares set forth in the table has the sole voting and dispositive power over such shares except that any such owner has no voting or dispositive power over shares the beneficial ownership of which is disclaimed.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

The following table sets forth information as of the date noted in the footnotes about persons, (whose ownership of our common stock is set forth in the previous table), who, to our knowledge, as of April 7, 2017, beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of our outstanding shares of common stock determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company’s management knows of no other persons owning beneficially more than 5% of either the outstanding Class A common stock or the outstanding Class B common stock of the Company.

Changes in Control

The holders of Class A shares have the right to elect two thirds of our board of directors. Accordingly the holders of a majority of the Class A shares can exercise significant control over the Company. The BBJ Irrevocable Family Trust holds a majority of the Class A shares. On January 6, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into the Shareholder Certification with Mr. Jekogian, Trust, FC OP and FC REIT, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to, among other things, (i) exchange its shares of Class A stock for shares of Class B stock of the Company upon the occurrence and satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) refrain from taking certain actions, and (iii) vote its shares of Class A stock in favor of certain actions. Pursuant to such Shareholder Certification, the Company agreed not to issue or cause to be issued any additional shares of its Class A stock.

The Interest Contribution Agreement provides for a Class A Shareholders Agreement which will provide that (i) subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Presidential following the Closing for the T9 Property (and the shareholders of Class A stock of Presidential if determined necessary or appropriate by the Board), the holders of the Class A Controlling Stock will agree to exchange the Class A Controlling Stock for $5,000,000 of newly issued Class B Shares of Presidential upon the earlier to occur of (a) Presidential having achieved total stabilized net asset value of not less than $200,000,000 or (b) eighteen (18) months from the Closing for the Avalon Property; and (ii) the agreement of the holders of the Class A Controlling Stock (x) not to transfer, lien or encumber the Class A Controlling Stock, (y) not to take any action that would interfere with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that may be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; (iii) to vote in favor of changing the name of Presidential to another name selected by the FC Parties; (iv) to vote in favor of changing the domicile of Presidential as may be determined by the FC Parties; (v) to vote in favor of either cancelling the Class A Shares or converting the Class A Shares into common Class B shares (vi) to vote in favor of the election or appointment of two (2) new board members Serge Kasada and Richard Shea.

Either of these agreements could result in a change in control of the Company.

Independent Directors

The Board has determined that Richard Brandt and Jeffrey Joseph, are independent directors pursuant to Section 803A(2) of the NYSE MKT LLC Company Guide.

Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties  

Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the relationship between Mr. Jekogian, who is Chairman of the Company’s board of directors and chief executive officer of the Company, and signature of which Mr. Jekogian is the owner and chief executive officer. Mr. Ludwig, a Director, our President, Chief Operating Officer and Principal Financial Officer, also provides consulting services to and receives compensation from Signature. All of our directors and officers have fiduciary duties to manage the Company in a manner beneficial to our stockholders. At the same time, Mr. Jekogian and Mr. Ludwig may also owe fiduciary duties to Signature. The independent directors of the Board will review all transactions between the Company and Signature and the activities of Mr. Jekogian and Mr. Ludwig.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that no director, officer of or employee to the corporation past, present or future, shall be personally liable to the corporation or any of its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the liability of a director for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law and for the payment of dividends is not so eliminated.  The corporation shall advance or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by an affected officer, director or employee without regard to the above limitations, or any other limitation which may hereafter be enacted to the extent such limitation may be disregarded if authorized by the Articles of Incorporation.

Audit Fees

The following table presents fees billed for professional services rendered by Baker Tilly Vichow Krause LLP (“Baker Tilly”) for the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and fees for other services rendered by Baker Tilly during those periods.

All audit-related services, tax services and other services in 2016 and 2015 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided by our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

On an on-going basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may also delegate the ability to pre-approve audit and permitted non-audit services to one or more of its members, provided that any pre-approvals are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders, Audit Committee and Board of Directors

Presidential Realty Corporation

New York, NY

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Presidential Realty Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Presidential Realty Corporation as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the company has changed its method of accounting for the presentation of debt issuance costs due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements’ plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Organization

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

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Considerations

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had a loss from operations and accumulated deficit. This combined with a history of operating losses and working capital deficiency, has been detrimental to our operations and could potentially affect our ability to meet our obligations and continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful execution of strategies to achieve profitability, and increase working capital by raising debt and/or equity. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results.

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 thirty-nine years for buildings and improvements 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 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 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.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Presidential Realty Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Rental Revenue Recognition

The Company acts as lessor under operating leases. Rental revenue is recorded on the straight-line basis from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to existing leases, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. Certain leases require the tenants to reimburse a pro rata share of real estate taxes, utilities and maintenance costs. 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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company assesses the collectability 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. Any subsequent recovery of tenant receivable that were previously reserved is recorded as a reduction in the provision of bad debt expense. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance relating to tenant receivables was $2,426 and $790, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net loss per share data is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding (excluding non-vested shares) during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect, if any, of non-vested shares. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average shares outstanding as used in the calculation of diluted loss per share do not include 740,000, of outstanding stock options and 1,700,000 of outstanding warrants, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand, cash in banks and cash in money market funds. Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investment which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less.

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.

Accounting for Stock Awards

The Company recognizes the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments as stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the stock award and options, is recognized as expense, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which typically equals the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense was $0 in 2016 and 2015.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach requiring the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes and for net operating loss and other carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets based on the likelihood of realization.

Mortgage costs

The Company amortize mortgage costs over the life of the loan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, which requires the presentation of debt issuance costs as a reduction of the debt liability on the balance sheet, consistent with the accounting for debt discounts. Amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts are each recorded as non-cash interest expense over the life of the respective debt instrument. The presentation of debt issuance costs as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 has been reclassified to conform to this guidance.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The new guidance addresses management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements, however it may affect future disclosures.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous leases standard, Leases (Topic 840). The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”).  ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and the impact on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" (ASU 2016-15. The new guidance clarifies eight cash flow classification issues where current GAAP was either unclear or has no specific guidance. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may elect to early adopt ASU 2016-15 in any interim period. If an entity early adopts it must adopt all eight of the amendments in the same period and if early adopted in an interim period any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the year. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 will be applied using the modified retrospective transition method for each period presented. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on the classification of certain items on its statements of cash flows.

Real estate is comprised of the following:

Rental revenue is from our only property Palmer Maple Tree which constituted all of the rental revenue for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

We received distributions from Broadway Partners Fund II in the amount of $0 and $8,900 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This amount is reported as investment income on the statement of operations at December 2015. This investment was previously written off. The Company recognizes income received on the cash basis. The Broadway Partners Fund II was closed at the end of 2014 and we do not expect any income from this investment in the future.

On July 28, 2015, Palmer-Mapletree LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $1,750,000 (the “Loan”) at an interest rate of 6.031%. $934,794 of the loan proceeds were used to repay the prior mortgage loan and line of credit on the Mapletree Property. $123,757 of the Loan proceeds was set aside for capital improvements and reserves for the property. We received net proceeds of $585,125. The Loan matures on August 5, 2025 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $11,308. The loan is presented net of unamortized mortgage costs, the outstanding balance of the loan and mortgage costs at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1,710,651 and $134,706, respectively and $1,740,462 and $150,438, respectively. The Company is required to maintain certain Financial Covenants. The Company was in compliance with the covenants at December 31, 2016.

Maturities of Mortgage payments for the next five years are as follows:

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 any of its taxable income as long as they distribute the required amounts to its shareholders.

ASC 740 prescribes a more likely than not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken. If the Company’s tax position in relation to a transaction was not likely to be upheld, the Company would be required to record the accrual for the tax and interest thereon. As of December 31, 2016, the tax years that remain open to examination by the federal, state and local taxing authorities are the 2012 – 2016 tax years and the Company was not required to accrue any liability for those tax years.

The Company has accumulated a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $20,900,000 expiring from 2028 through 2036.

It is expected that his salary will remain unchanged.

Alexander Ludwig –On January 8, 2014, the Company and Mr. Alexander Ludwig, a Director, President, Chief Operating Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company entered into an amendment to Mr. Ludwig’s employment agreement dated November 8, 2011. The amendment provides for (i) the extension of the employment term from May 3, 2013 to December 31, 2015, (ii) continuation of Mr. Ludwig’s base salary through the balance of the term at the rate of $225,000 per annum, (iii) removal of the $200,000 cap on the amount of any annual bonus that might be awarded Mr. Ludwig.

Mr. Ludwig’s employment agreement, as amended, expired at December 31, 2015 but the board agreed to continue Mr. Ludwig’s employment on the same terms as the agreement until otherwise terminated by the board.

The exercise of such option is subject to certain conditions, including that the Company has consummated an equity offering, capital raise or such other offering such that the issuance of any shares of Class B common stock of the Company covered by Mr. Ludwig’s option would not be deemed “Excess Shares” as that term is defined in the certificate of incorporation of the Company. The exercise price is $0.00.

On November 8, 2011, the Company and Signature Community Management (“Signature”), (an entity owned by our CEO) entered into a Property Management Agreement pursuant to which the Company retained Signature as the exclusive, managing and leasing agent for the Company’s Mapletree Property. Signature receives compensation of 5% of monthly rental income actually received from tenants at the Mapletree Property. The property Management Agreement renewed for a one year term on November 8, 2016 and will automatically renew for one year terms until it is terminated by either party upon written notice. The Company incurred management fees of approximately $40,000 and $40,500 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

On November 8, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Management Agreement with Signature pursuant to which the Company engaged Signature to oversee the Mapletree Property. Signature will receive an asset management fee of 1.5% of the monthly gross rental revenues collected for the Mapletree Property. The Asset Management Agreement renewed for a one year term on November 8, 2016 and will automatically renew for one year terms until it is terminated by either party upon written notice. The Company incurred asset management fees of approximately $12,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Prior to September 22, 2016 the Company subleased their executive office space under a month to month lease with Signature for a monthly rental payment of $1,100 or $13,200 per year. The Company incurred $9.900 and $13,200 in rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

On September 22, 2016 the Company signed a new sublease for their executive office space under a month to month lease with Nexelus for a monthly rental payment of $1,500 or $18,000 per year.

The Company incurred total rent of $14,400 and $13,200 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

On July 28, 2015 the Company successfully refinanced the Mapletree Property and made payments of $50,000 each and issued the option agreements to each of three former officers. The options call for the issuance of a number of shares of restricted stock based on the value at the public offering price equal to the balance due of $413,750. The options vest upon the consummation of an underwritten registered public offering of the Company’s Class B Common Stock with gross proceeds of not less than $20,000,000. The options expire 5 years from the grant date. The underlying shares of the exercised options must be held for a period of 180 days, therefore a discount for lack of marketability was applied. The Company recorded an extinguishment of debt gain of $228,261 based on the carrying value of the deferred compensation of $413,750 and the fair value of the options issued of $185,489.

These options were valued using a monte carlo model valuation methodology. The model embodies relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumption used in the monte carlo model to value these options were, the following: Exercises price - $1.00; Term - 5 years; Discount for lack of marketability - 29.19%; Volatility - 108.6%; Risk-free interest rate - 1.61%; Dividend rate - 0%.

In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to litigation from time to time. Except as discussed below, there is no current, pending or, to our knowledge, threatened litigation or administrative action to which we are a party or of which our property is the subject (including litigation or actions involving our officers, directors, affiliates, or other key personnel, or holders of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of such party) which in our opinion has, or is expected to have, a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition or operations.

There is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Civ. Act. No. 16-cv-08633) an action entitled JFURTI, LLC and JACOB FRYDMAN, Suing Individually and Derivatively and On Behalf of All Similarly Situated Limited Partners and Shareholders in the Name and Right of FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE TRUST INCORPORATED and FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., Plaintiffs, against FORUM PARTNERS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC; RUSSELL C. PLATT; MARBLE 15 SCS; PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION; PRESIDENTIAL REALTY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP; SUNEET SINGAL; JAVIER VANDE STEEG; MICHAEL MCCOOK; FRANK GRANT; RICHARD LEIDER; FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE ADVISORS, LP; FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS, LLC; FIRST CAPITAL BORROWER, LLC; UNITED 25250 TILDEN, LLC; and PHOENIX AMERICAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. Defendants, and FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE TRUST INCORPORATED and FIRST CAPITAL REAL ESTATE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., Nominal Derivative Defendants. The action has been brought under the Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and for breach of contract and fraudulent conveyance and seeks treble, actual and punitive damages, injunctive relief, an accounting and attorneys’ fees. The amended complaint alleges twenty one causes of action that the defendants engaged in a fraudulent scheme (the “Fraudulent Scheme”) to take control of First Capital REIT (a publicly registered fully reporting 1933 and 1934 Act public company that is organized as a real estate investment trust), and use First Capital REIT to divert monies for their own purposes. The underlying actions alleged against the Company arise from the Company’s transactions and proposed transactions with First Capital REIT. The plaintiff’s seek injunctions against the FC Parties enjoining them from disposing of any assets and setting aside any conveyances that have taken place. The action was initially commenced in November 2016 and the RICO claims were added by way of an amended complaint filed December 29, 2016. On February 17, 2017 a motion to dismiss the complaint was filed on behalf of the Company and other defendants. That motion is still in the briefing stage. The Company believes that as to the Company and its operating partnership, the claims have no merit.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash.

The Company generally maintains its cash in money market funds with financial 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.

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 11, no shares of common stock of Presidential are reserved.

The Company issued to Mr. Nicholas W. Jekogian our CEO a Warrant in January 2014 to purchase 1,700,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share in exchange for the complete cancellation of $425,000 of deferred compensation accrued under Mr. Nicholas W. Jekogian’s employment agreement.

On November 8, 2011, the Company issued 740,000 options at an exercise price of $1.25. A total of 148,000 shares vest six months after the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value was $0.00. The remaining options vest upon the achievement of performance milestones. Options vesting on the achievement of performance milestones will not be recognized as compensation until such milestones are deemed probable of achievement. The Company has approximately $592,000 of unrecognized compensation expense respectively, related to unvested share-based compensation awards. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 compensation expense was $0. Approximately $592,000 will vest upon the achievement of performance milestones.

See Note 13 subsequent events for cancelations and modification of options and warrants.

The weighted-average fair value per share of the options granted is $1.00 estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their generally short maturities. Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities the carrying value of long-term debt approximates the fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

On August 15, 2012 the stockholders approved the 2012 Incentive Plan which reserves 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock for distribution to executive officers (including executive officers who are also directors), employees, directors, independent agents, consultants and attorneys in accordance with the 2012 Plan’s terms. The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards (collectively, “Awards”): (a) stock options and (b) restricted stock. Awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The maximum number of shares of Class B common stock with respect to which incentive stock options may be granted to any one individual in any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 in fair market value as determined at the time of grant. If any outstanding Award is canceled, forfeited, delivered to us as payment for the exercise price or surrendered to us for tax withholding purposes, shares of Class B common stock allocable to such Award may again be available for Awards under the 2012 Incentive Plan.

In 2005, shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2005 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan provided that a total of 115,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock may be issued to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, to provide incentive compensation. The 2005 Plan was administered by the Compensation Committees of the Company’s Board of Directors, which had the authority, among other things, to determine the terms and conditions of any award under the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan expired on June 15, 2015.

The following is a summary of the Company’s activity for the 2012 and 2005 Plans in 2016 and 2015:

Future minimum annual base rental revenue for the next five years for commercial real estate owned at December 31, 2016, and subject to non-cancelable operating leases is as follows:

On December 16, 2016, the “Company” and its newly formed operating partnership, Presidential Realty Operating Partnership LP (“Presidential OP”), entered into an interest contribution agreement (the “Initial Agreement”) with First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated (“FC REIT”), First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership (the “FC OP”), Township Nine Owner, LLC (T9/JV), Capital Station Holdings, LLC, Capital Station Member, LLC, Capital Station 65 LLC and Avalon Jubilee LLC. On January 6, 2017, the Company and the other parties to the Initial Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Initial Agreement (the “Amendment,” and, together with the Initial Agreement, the “Agreement”) and FC OP entered into the Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”) of Presidential OP, as limited partner, with the Company as general partner. The Agreement contemplated that the Company would acquire from FC OP its 31.3333% interest in the owner of a residential community referred to as the “Avalon Property” and 66% percent (the “T9 Transferred Interest”) of its 92% interest (FC/T9 Interest) in the owner of a development property known as the “T9 Property.” The purchase price for the interests is payable in limited partnership interests in Presidential OP (“Presidential OP Units”) convertible under certain conditions into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.

The Company’s acquisition of the interest in the Avalon Property was completed on January 6, 2017. The Avalon Property consists of 251 non-contiguous single-family, residential lots and a 10,000 square foot clubhouse, within the Jubilee at Los Lunas subdivision located in Los Lunas, New Mexico (the “Avalon Property”). At the Closing, in exchange for the contribution to Presidential OP of FC OP’s membership interests in Avalon, FC OP received 4,632,000 Presidential OP Units in, and became a limited partner of, Presidential OP. Such limited partnership interests are convertible, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, into shares of Class B common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the Closing, FC REIT paid $800,000 to Presidential to be used as operating capital.

On March 31, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into a second amendment to the Agreement pursuant to which the T9 Transferred Interest was assigned to PRES-T9 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential OP (PRES-T9). PRES-T9 was admitted as a member of the T9/JV. The Second Amendment also provides for the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to the issuance and delivery of 100% of the Presidential OP Units to be issued in connection with the transaction. Those Presidential OP Units will be held back (the “Holdback Units”) until a new appraisal of the FC/T9 Interest has been obtained and the loan secured by the T9 Properties has been extended or refinanced. The loan is currently in default. Presidential has an opportunity for 30 days to endeavor to obtain an extension or refinancing of the loan.

Thereafter, the FC Parties will continue to seek an extension/refinancing of the loan. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing are not obtained within 180 days, then the FC Parties and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either the FC Parties or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Transferred Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.

The number of Presidential OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt (the extended/refinanced loan) at that time. These adjustments could result in a material change in the number of Presidential OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. The final number of Presidential OP Units will be determined by taking the amount of the new appraisal, subtracting therefrom the amount of the extended/refinanced loan and the legal costs and expenses incurred by the Company in securing the extended/refinanced loan and multiplying the amount thereby obtained by 66%.  As a result of the conditional nature of the transfer of the Transferred Interest, the Company will not be reflecting the Transferred Interest in its financial statements until the conditions in the Second Amendment have been satisfied and the applicable number of OP Units has been determined and issued.

In connection with the Agreement, Palisades Pacific Realty Trust, Inc (“Palisades”) became a consultant to the Company to provide services relating to the integration of the First Capital properties (the interests in the Avalon Property and T9 Property) and in connection with potential capital raising activities. The Company paid Palisades $200,000 and reimbursed certain expenses approved by the Company. Palisades notified the Company on March 1, 2017 that they were ceasing to provide services thus terminating the arrangement. Palisades has requested reimbursement of certain other expenses which the Company believes it is not responsible for.

In connection with and as a condition of the Agreement, on January 6, 2017, the Company entered into various agreements with the officers, directors and Management of the Company to restructure amounts owed to them as well as change the equity compensation due or held by them. The Company entered into an agreement with Signature Group Advisors, LLC (“Signature”), an affiliate of Nickolas W. Jekogian, III, a director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and an adviser to the Company (the “Signature Agreement”) pursuant to which (i) Signature will receive $1,000,000 payable in cash as consideration for sourcing, negotiating and documenting the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (“Transaction Fee”), which will become earned, due and payable upon the closing by the Company or Presidential OP of a preferred stock offering (or similar instrument) of at least $50,000,000 in gross proceeds; and (ii) commencing on the closing for the T9 Property under the Agreement, Signature will be engaged as a consultant to the Company for a four year term. The fee payable to Signature as a consultant (the “Consulting Fee”) will be $500,000 per annum, payable in cash in arrears on each anniversary of the closing for the T9 Property; provided, however, that no portion of the Consulting Fee will be earned or paid unless and until the net asset value of the Company is at least $200,000,000.

On January 6, 2017, the Company and Mr. Alexander Ludwig, our President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Ludwig as of such date in consideration for the issuance of (x) 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company and (y) an option to purchase an additional 550,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company. The exercise of such option is subject to certain conditions, including that the issuance of any shares of Class B common stock of the Company covered by Mr. Ludwig’s option would not be deemed “Excess Shares” as that term is defined in our certificate of incorporation. The exercise price of the option is $0.00.

On January 6, 2017, Mr. Jekogian entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement for the (x) cancellation of all stock options and warrants held by Mr. Jekogian as of such date and (y) termination of his Employment Agreement effective as of such date. Mr. Jekogian will continue as an employee of the Company in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on a month-to-month basis until such time as otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion. It is expected that his salary will remain unchanged.

On January 6, 2017, each of Richard Brandt, Robert Feder and Jeffrey Joseph, non-management directors of the Company, and Jeffrey Rogers, a former non-management director of the Company, entered into Issuance and Release Agreements for the issuance of an aggregate of 450,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company in consideration of the release of the Company’s obligations to pay past due and current director’s fees, of which 90,000 were issued to the current directors for their services in connection with the Agreement.

On January 6, 2017, the Company and Presidential OP entered into an Acknowledgement and Certification (the “Shareholder Certification”) with Mr. Jekogian, The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust (the “Trust”), FC OP and FC REIT, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to, among other things, (i) exchange its shares of Class A stock for shares of Class B stock of the Company upon the occurrence and satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) refrain from taking certain actions, and (iii) vote its shares of Class A stock in favor of certain actions. Pursuant to such Shareholder Certification, the Company agreed not to issue or cause to be issued any additional shares of its Class A stock.     

In connection with the foregoing, certain holders of Class A common stock of the Company, representing an aggregate of 49,000 shares of Class A common stock, entered into a Proxy and Option to Purchase with The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust designating The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust as proxy to vote on all matters with respect to their shares. In addition, such agreement granted The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust an option to purchase such shares at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. During the first quarter the trust exercised its option and purchased 49,000 shares of Class A common stock. The Company was not a party to that agreement.
