EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION 180 SOUTH BROADWAY WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK 10605 914-948-1300 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE White Plains, New York April 7, 2005 Jeffrey Joseph, President of Presidential Realty Corporation, a real estate investment trust whose shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange (PDLA and PDLB), announced today that Presidential completed the sale of Fairlawn Gardens, a 112-unit garden apartment property in Martinsburg, West Virginia (the "Property") for a sales price of $3,500,000. The net cash proceeds of sale, after repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the first mortgage encumbering the Property, prepayment fees and other closing expenses were approximately $1,920,000. Prior to closing, the Company received $707,000 of insurance proceeds resulting from fire damage to sixteen apartments at the property and applied those insurance proceeds to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance of the first mortgage. Presidential will recognize a gain for financial reporting purposes from this transaction of approximately $2,330,000 and a gain for tax purposes of approximately $2,300,000. However, Presidential expects to defer the gain for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the provisions of Section 1031 or 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code, although no assurances can be given that Presidential will be able to find a suitable exchange property to complete the tax deferred exchange.
