PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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 three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a loss from 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 capital through debt and/or equity. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. 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. The results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the respective periods have been reflected. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on March 25, 2015.
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.
PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
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. 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, allowance for doubtful accounts for continuing operations relating to tenant obligations was $4,879 and $9,835, respectively.
Net 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 year. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect, if any, of non-vested shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 anti-dilutive.
Cash
Cash includes cash on hand, cash in banks and cash in money market funds.
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 Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company follows the guidance of the recognition of current and deferred income tax accounts, including accrued interest and penalties, in accordance with ASC 740-10-25. Under this guidance, if the Company’s tax positions in relation to certain transactions were examined and were not ultimately upheld, the Company would be required to pay an income tax assessment and related interest. Alternatively, the Company could elect to pay a deficiency dividend to its shareholders in order to continue to qualify as a REIT and the related interest assessment to the taxing authorities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition or cash flows based on current information.

Rental revenue from the Maple Tree property constituted all of the rental revenue for the Company during the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
| 3. | Investments in Joint Ventures and Partnerships |
In March 2015 we received a distribution from Broadway Partners Fund II in the amount of $2,750. This amount is reported as investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. This investment was previously written off. The Company recognizes income received on the cash basis.The Broadway Partners Fund II distributed the majority of its assets at the end of 2014 and we do not expect to receive any meaningful additional income.
On June 8, 2012, we closed on a mortgage and line of credit for a combined total of $1,000,000 with Country Bank for Savings on the Mapletree Industrial Center. The mortgage is for $500,000 at a 5% interest rate, for a term of 5 years. Thereafter the interest will adjust monthly equal to the bank’s Prime Rate, plus 1% with an interest rate floor of 5%, for a term of 15 years. We received $459,620 of net proceeds. The line of credit is for $500,000, with an interest rate of 1% over the bank’s Prime Rate (4.25% at March 31, 2015). The balance outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $500,000. The line of credit is due on demand. Both the mortgage and the line of credit are secured by the Mapletree Industrial Center, in Palmer, Massachusetts. The outstanding balance of the mortgage at March 31, 2015and December 31, 2014 was $434,218 and $440,654, respectively.
Presidential has elected to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code. A REIT which distributes at least 90% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its shareholders each year by the end of the following year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders.
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 March 31, 2015 the tax years that remain open to examination by the federal, state and local taxing authorities are the 2011 – 2014 tax years and the Company was not required to accrue any liability for those tax years.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a tax loss of approximately $103,000 ($.02 per share) which was all ordinary loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had a tax loss of approximately $209,000 ($.05 per share), which was all ordinary loss.

On May 14, 2015 the Company and the three former officer’s entered into agreements that if the Company were to refinance the Palmer Mapletree property, then they would accept, in lieu of the deferred compensation owed to them in the amount of $563,750, a cash payment of $50,000 each for a total of $150,000 from the proceeds of the refinancing and the right to receive restricted stock upon a registered public offering of the Company’s Class B Common Stock. The amount of restricted stock to be issued to each former officer would be the number of shares valued at the public offering price equal to the difference between the cash paid to them and the amount owed to them. While the Company is seeking to refinance the Palmer Mapletree property, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such refinancing.
During 2014 we paid the former officers of the Company $10,000 each or $30,000 in total in order to extend the due date of the payment from November 8, 2014 to November 8, 2016. The balance owed at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $563,750, respectively and is included in other liabilities.

| 8. | Stock Options and Warrants |
On November 8, 2011, the Company issued 740,000 options at an exercise price of $1.25. A total of 148,000 shares vested six months after the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, compensation expense was $0. Approximately $592,000 will vest upon the achievement of performance milestones.

The Warrant becomes exercisable only upon the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the Company’s consummation of a Capital Event and will expire five and one half years following the date it first becomes exercisable. The Warrant will also terminate if Mr. Jekogian terminates his employment and/or resigns as a director of the Company without “Good Reason” or without the consent of the Company prior to the date the Warrant becomes exercisable.
| 9. | Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 were determined using available market information and various valuation estimation methodologies. Considerable judgment was required to interpret the effects on fair value of such items as future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Also, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. However, we believe reported amounts approximate fair value.

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.
We outsource the management of the Mapletree Industrial Center to Signature Community Management.
We obtain funds for working capital and investment from our available cash, operating activities and refinancing of mortgage loans on our real estate.
On June 8, 2012, we closed on a mortgage and line of credit for a combined total of $1,000,000 with Country Bank for Savings on the Mapletree Industrial Center. The mortgage is for $500,000 at a 5% interest rate, for a term of 5 years. Thereafter the interest will adjust monthly equal to the bank’s Prime Rate, plus 1% with an interest rate floor of 5%, for a term of 15 years. We received $459,620 of net proceeds. The line of credit is for $500,000, with an interest rate of 1% over the bank’s Prime Rate (4.25% at March 31, 2015). The balance outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $500,000. The line of credit is due on demand. Both the mortgage and the line of credit are secured by the Mapletree Industrial Center, in Palmer, Massachusetts. The outstanding balance of the mortgage at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $434,218 and $440,654, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a loss from 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 management’s successful execution of our business plan to achieve profitability, and to increase working capital by raising capital through 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 and repairs and maintenance are charged to rental property operating expenses as incurred. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The useful life of each property, as well as the allocation of the costs associated with a property to its various components, requires estimates by management. If management incorrectly estimates the allocation of those costs or incorrectly estimates the useful lives of its real estate, depreciation expense may be miscalculated.
The Company reviews each of its properties 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 March 31, 2015, the Company’s net real estate was carried at approximately $545,000.
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.
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 the three months ended March 31, 2015, there is no requirement to make a distribution for the first quarter of 2015. In addition, no provision for income taxes was required at March 31, 2015.
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Rental revenue | | $ | 230,942 | | | $ | 219,264 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Operating expenses | | $ | 152,648 | | | $ | 151,539 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) | | $ | (158,900 | ) | | $ | (264,902 | ) |
Rental revenues increased by $11,678 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, as a result of increased rental occupancy at the Mapletree Industrial Center. Management has successfully increased occupancy to 97.7% as of May 2015.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $158,900 as compared to a loss of $264,902 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately $106,000. The decrease is comprised of (i) a reduction in general and administrative expenses of approximately $43,000, which consists of decreases in professional fees and administrative salaries, (ii) a decrease in stock based compensation of $123,000, (iii) increased rental income of approximately $12,000, off-set by a reduction in investment income received from Broadway Partners Fund II of approximately $70,000. Operating expense at the Mapletree Industrial Center remained consistent compared to the prior year.
Balance Sheet
March 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014
Net real estate decreased by $11,052 primarily as a result of depreciation expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 on the MapleTree Industrial Center.
Prepaid expenses decreased by $16,696 primarily due to accretion of the directors and officers tail policy purchased in 2011.
Accrued liabilities increased by $69,781 primarily due to accrued salary for Nicholas W. Jekogian, CEO as required by his employment contract.
Other liabilities increased by $14,763 primarily due to higher tenant security deposits and prepaid rent.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We obtain funds for working capital and investment from our available cash.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a loss from 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.
At March 31, 2015, we had $389,507 in available cash, a decrease of $53,106 from $442,613 available at December 31, 2014. This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to cash used in operating activities of $45,576, cash used in investing activities of $1,094, and $6,436 of principal payments made on the Mapletree Industrial Center mortgage.
Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities includes interest on the Company’s mortgage portfolio and net cash received from rental property operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash received from interest and amortization on the Company’s mortgage portfolio was $605. Net cash received from rental property operations was approximately $65,000. Net cash received from rental property operations is before additions and improvements and mortgage amortization. Cash received from investment activities was $2,750 from Broadway Partners Fund II.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
While we are not required, as a smaller reporting company, to comply with this Item 3, 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, herein referred to as the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The purpose of disclosure controls is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
| (b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer also conducted an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, herein referred to as internal control, to determine whether any changes in internal control occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that may have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
