PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. General - Presidential Realty Corporation ("Presidential" or the "Company"),
a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), is engaged principally in the holding
of notes and mortgages secured by real estate and in the ownership of income
producing real estate. Presidential operates in a single business segment,
investments in real estate related assets.
B. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Presidential Realty Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements include 100%
of the account balances of UTB Associates and PDL, Inc. and Associates Limited
Co-Partnership ("Home Mortgage Partnership"), partnerships in which Presidential
or PDL, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential, is the General Partner.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
C. Net Income Per Share - Basic net income per share data is computed by
dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and
Class B common stock outstanding during each period. Basic net income per share
and diluted income per share are the same for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998. The dilutive effect of stock options is calculated using the
treasury stock method.
D. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for the respective periods have been
reflected. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
E. Management Estimates - In preparing the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, 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.
2. MORTGAGE PORTFOLIO
The Company's mortgage portfolio includes notes receivable - sold properties and
notes receivable - related parties.
Notes receivable - sold properties consist of:
(1) Long-term purchase money notes from sales of properties previously owned by
the Company or notes purchased by the Company. These purchase money notes have
varying interest rates with balloon payments due at maturity.
(2) Notes receivable from sales of cooperative apartment units. These notes
generally have market interest rates and the majority of these notes amortize
monthly with balloon payments due at maturity.
Notes receivable - related parties are all due from Ivy Properties, Ltd. or its
affiliates (collectively "Ivy") and consist of:
(1) Purchase money notes resulting from sales of property or partnership
interests to Ivy.
(2) Notes receivable relating to loans made by the Company to Ivy in connection
with Ivy's cooperative conversion business.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company sold the Fairfield Towers
First Mortgage Note and substantially all of the Fairfield Towers Second
Mortgage Note (the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage Note had been classified as
an impaired loan). The Company also sold the Grant House wraparound mortgage
note which had been classified as an impaired loan. In addition, the Company
received a $317,662 prepayment on its Pinewood mortgage note.
Fairfield Towers
On February 22, 1999, Presidential consummated the sale of its Fairfield Towers
First and Second Mortgage Notes (excluding a $4,000,000 portion of the Second
Mortgage Note, which it retained). At the date of the sale, the Fairfield Towers
First Mortgage Note had an outstanding principal balance of $17,002,695 and a
net carrying value of $13,957,284 after deducting a discount of $3,045,411. The
Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage Note, which was classified as an impaired loan,
had an outstanding principal balance of $14,206,895 and a net carrying value of
$1,311,908 after deducting discount and deferred gain of $12,894,987.
The aggregate purchase price for the First Mortgage Note and the Second Mortgage
Note (excluding the $4,000,000 interest retained by Presidential) was
$21,350,000.
In connection with this transaction, the $4,000,000 portion of the Second
Mortgage Note retained by Presidential was modified to provide for interest at
the rate of 9.625% per annum for the first three years and at the rate of 10.5%
per annum for the remaining seven years. The $4,000,000 outstanding principal
balance is due at maturity on February 18, 2009. To secure this obligation,
Presidential obtained subordinate security interests in three apartment
properties located in New Jersey as collateral for the Note.
As a result of this transaction, Presidential repaid the $10,195,442 outstanding
principal balance of its note payable to Fleet Bank, which had been secured by
Presidential's interest in the First Mortgage Note. Presidential recognized a
gain on sale (before taxes) of $7,617,214 and a net gain on sale of $6,050,740
after accrued taxes of $1,566,474.
Grant House
On January 28, 1999, the Company sold its equity interest in the $3,235,833
Grant House wraparound mortgage note, which had been classified as an impaired
loan. The Company's underlying second mortgage in the outstanding principal
amount of $1,023,593 was sold to the purchaser for a purchase price of $500,000.
The nonrecourse first mortgage which Presidential's second mortgage wrapped
around was assigned to the purchaser. As a result of this transaction,
Presidential wrote off the $2,212,240 balance on the first mortgage and the
related $2,212,240 mortgage debt, $75,000 of the sales proceeds was applied to
accrued and unpaid interest and the Company recognized a gain on sale of
$425,000.
Pinewood
In January, 1999, the Company received a $317,662 principal prepayment on its
$417,662 mortgage note which is secured by 316 apartment units at Pinewood in
Des Moines, Iowa. As a result of the $317,662 prepayment, the Company recognized
a deferred gain on sale of $218,534.
At March 31, 1999, all of the notes in the Company's mortgage portfolio are
current with the exception of the Mark Terrace mortgage note, which is secured
by 172 unsold cooperative apartment units at Mark Terrace Apartments, Bronx, New
York. The annual interest on the Mark Terrace note is due in advance in February
of each year. The 1999 interest payment of $115,774 has not been received and
the Company has accrued interest income of $28,943 for the period. The
outstanding principal balance of the note is $2,244,000 and the net carrying
value of the note is $1,479,941 after deducting a discount and deferred gain of
$764,059. The Company anticipates that the annual interest payment will be
received in the second quarter of 1999.
3. REAL ESTATE
Real estate is comprised of the following:
March 31, December 31,
1999 1998
----------- ------------
Land $ 5,454,549 $ 5,454,549
Buildings and leaseholds 29,261,542 29,008,677
Furniture and equipment 252,503 240,431
----------- -----------
Total real estate $34,968,594 $34,703,657
=========== ===========
4. MINORITY PARTNERS' INTEREST
Presidential is the General Partner of UTB Associates and PDL, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Presidential, is the General Partner of Home Mortgage
Partnership. Presidential has a 66-2/3% interest in UTB Associates, and
Presidential and PDL, Inc. have an aggregate 26% interest in Home Mortgage
Partnership. As the General Partner of these partnerships, Presidential and PDL,
Inc., respectively, exercise effective control over the business of these
partnerships, and, accordingly, Presidential consolidates these partnerships in
the accompanying financial statements. The minority partners' interest reflects
the minority partners' equity in the partnerships.
The minority partners' interest in the Home Mortgage Partnership is a negative
interest and therefore, minority partners' interest is a net asset on the
Company's financial statements. The negative basis for each partner's interest
in the Home Mortgage Partnership is due to the refinancing of the mortgage on
the property and the distribution of the proceeds to the partners. The mortgage
debt, which is included in the Company's financial statements, is substantially
in excess of the net carrying amount of the property, but the estimated fair
value of the property is significantly greater than the mortgage debt. Thus, the
asset recorded as minority partners' interest should be realized upon sale of
the property.
Minority partners' interest is comprised of the following:
March 31, December 31,
1999 1998
---------- ----------
Home Mortgage Partnership $7,883,107 $7,735,342
UTB Associates (188,347) (182,599)
---------- ----------
Total minority partners' interest $7,694,760 $7,552,743
========== ==========
5. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The cost and fair value of securities available for sale are as follows:
March 31, December 31,
1999 1998
---------- ----------
Cost $4,379,288 $1,259,057
Gross unrealized gains 9,318 23,433
Gross unrealized losses (58,553) (7,756)
---------- ----------
Fair value $4,330,053 $1,274,734
========== ==========
During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, there were no sales of
securities available for sale.
6. MORTGAGE DEBT
In January, 1999, the Company refinanced the mortgage on its Cambridge Green
property. The existing mortgage balance of $3,120,190 was paid from the proceeds
of the new $3,195,500 mortgage. The new mortgage bears interest at the rate of
6.65% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $20,358,
and matures on October 1, 2029.
As a result of the refinancing of this mortgage, the Company wrote off $166,756
of unamortized mortgage costs and paid a prepayment penalty fee of $31,200
relating to the prior mortgage.
7. NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK
In connection with the Company's purchase of the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage
in 1996, the Company obtained a bank loan from Fleet Bank, N.A. The note, which
was due to mature on October 30, 2001, was secured by a collateral assignment of
the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage and was nonrecourse to Presidential except
for a limited guarantee.
Presidential sold the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage in February, 1999 and
repaid the outstanding principal balance of the note to Fleet Bank from the
proceeds of the sale. The outstanding principal balance at the date of the sale
was $10,195,442.
The Company has an unsecured $250,000 line of credit from a lending
institution. The interest rate is 1% above the prime rate and the line of
credit expires in February, 2000. Presidential pays a 1% annual fee for the line
of credit. At March 31, 1999, no advances are outstanding on this line of
credit.
8. INCOME TAXES
Presidential has elected to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the
Internal Revenue Code. A REIT which distributes at least 95% of its real estate
investment trust taxable income to its shareholders each year by the end of the
following year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on
that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company had taxable income (before
distributions to stockholders) of approximately $1,738,000 ($.48 per share),
which included approximately $777,000 ($.21 per share) of capital gains. This
amount will be reduced by approximately $199,000 ($.06 per share) of the 1998
distributions that were not utilized in reducing the Company's 1997 taxable
income and by any eligible 1999 distributions that the Company may elect to
utilize as a reduction of its 1998 taxable income.
As previously stated, in order to retain REIT status, Presidential is required
to distribute 95% of its REIT taxable income (exclusive of capital gains). As
of March 31, 1999, Presidential has distributed all but $.04 per share of the
required 95% of its 1998 REIT taxable income. In addition, although no
assurances can be given, it is the Company's present intention to distribute all
of its 1998 taxable income and therefore, no provision for income taxes was made
at December 31, 1998.
Furthermore, the Company had taxable income (before distributions to
stockholders) for the three months ended March 31, 1999 of approximately
$3,398,000 ($.94 per share), which included approximately $3,497,000 ($.97 per
share) of capital gains. This amount will be reduced by 1999 distributions
that were not utilized in reducing the Company's 1998 taxable income and by
any eligible 2000 distributions that the Company may elect to utilize as a
reduction of its 1999 taxable income.
Presidential intends to continue to maintain its REIT status. The Company
intends to retain the $3,560,000 capital gain from the sale of the Fairfield
Towers Mortgage Notes and, accordingly, has accrued $1,566,474 for Federal and
State income taxes. Retaining this capital gain will not affect Presidential's
REIT status.
Presidential has, for tax purposes, reported the gain from the sale of certain
of its properties using the installment method.
9. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company's only element of other comprehensive income is the change in the
unrealized gain (loss) on the Company's securities available for sale. Thus,
comprehensive income, which consists of net income plus or minus other
comprehensive income, for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$6,951,889 and $704,528, respectively.
10. TREASURY STOCK
In March, 1999, three directors of the Company were each given 1,000 shares of
the Company's Class B common stock as partial payment for directors fees for the
1999 year. Such shares had been held in treasury at an average cost of
approximately $13.54 per share. The average market value for the previous month
of the Class B common stock, on which the fees were based, was $7.17 per share.
As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded $21,510 in prepaid
directors fees (to be amortized during 1999) based on the average market value
of the stock. Treasury stock was reduced by a cost of $40,618 and additional
paid-in capital was charged $19,108 for the excess of the cost over the market
value. In addition, on March 24, 1999, an executive of the Company was given
7,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock at a market price of $7.0625
per share (the closing price of the stock on the date of issuance). The Company
recorded a salary expense of $49,438, reduced treasury stock by a cost of
$94,780 and charged additional paid-in capital $45,342 for the excess of the
cost over the market value.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Presidential is not a party to any material legal proceedings. The Company may
be a party to routine litigation incidental to the ordinary course of its
business. In the opinion of management, all of the Company's properties are
adequately covered by insurance in accordance with normal insurance practices.
The Company is not aware of any environmental issues at any of its properties,
with the exception of the environmental expenses incurred in prior years at its
Mapletree Industrial Center property in Palmer, Massachusetts. The presence,
with or without the Company's knowledge, of hazardous substances at any of its
properties could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results and
financial condition.
PRESIDENTIAL REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
Results of Operations
Financial Information for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue increased by $91,596 primarily as a result of increases in rental income
and investment income. These increases were offset by decreases in interest on
mortgages-sold properties and interest on mortgages-related parties.
Rental income increased by $236,295 primarily as a result of rental income of
$237,628 at the Sunwood Apartments property, which was purchased in August
of 1998.
Investment income increased by $82,594 primarily as a result of increased
dividend income on securities available for sale.
Interest on mortgages-sold properties decreased by $102,548 primarily due to the
sale of the Fairfield Towers First Mortgage in February of 1999, which decreased
interest income by $183,296. This decrease was partially offset by the $39,569
of interest received on the $4,000,000 unsold portion of the Fairfield Towers
Second Mortgage and a $30,000 interest payment received on the Fairfield Towers
Second Mortgage prior to the sale.
Interest on mortgages-related parties decreased by $109,548 primarily as a
result of decreases in interest on the Consolidated Loans of $52,282 and
decreases in interest on the Overlook loan of $56,988. The decrease in interest
on the Overlook loan is a result of principal prepayments received in 1998.
Costs and expenses increased by $426,468 primarily due to increases in rental
property operating expenses, interest on mortgages and amortization of mortgage
costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense
on note payable and a decrease in minority interest share of partnership income.
Rental property operating expenses increased by $130,797 primarily as a result
of the addition of the Sunwood Apartments property which increased operating
expenses by $76,957. In addition, operating expenses at the Cambridge Green
property increased by $54,760.
Interest on mortgages increased by $218,168 primarily as a result of a $109,462
increase in mortgage interest expense on the Home Mortgage Plaza property
mortgage. In April, 1998 the Company refinanced the $10,788,825 mortgage for a
new $17,500,000 mortgage. In addition, the acquisition of the Sunwood
Apartments property increased mortgage interest expense by $79,467 and the new
mortgage on the Fairlawn Gardens property which was obtained in March, 1998,
increased mortgage interest expense by $34,885.
Amortization of mortgage costs increased by $184,479 primarily as a result of
the write-off of unamortized mortgage costs of $166,756 and the $31,200
prepayment penalty fee associated with the prior mortgage on the Cambridge Green
property. In January, 1999, the Cambridge Green property mortgage was refinanced
and the mortgage costs relating to the prior mortgage were written off.
Interest on note payable and other decreased by $99,182 primarily as a result of
the repayment of the note payable in February, 1999.
Minority interest share of partnership income decreased by $43,350 as a result
of a decrease in partnership income on the Home Mortgage Plaza property.
Net gain from sales of properties, notes and securities are sporadic (as they
depend on the timing of sales or the receipt of installments or prepayments on
purchase money notes). In 1999, the net gain from sales of properties, notes and
securities was $6,718,968 compared with $63,569 in 1998. In the 1999 period, the
Company recognized a deferred gain of $6,050,740 (which is net of taxes of
$1,566,474) from the sale of the Fairfield Towers First and Second Mortgages.
The Company also recognized a deferred gain of $425,000 from the sale of the
Grant House wraparound mortgage note. In addition, the Company recognized a
deferred gain of $218,534 from the sale of the Pinewood property as a result of
the $317,662 principal prepayment received on that note. As a result of
principal payments received on the Overlook loan and the Fairfield Towers Second
Mortgage (prior to the Fairfield sale), the Company also recognized deferred
gains of $5,228 and $19,466, respectively. In the 1998 period, the Company
recognized a gain of $40,435 from the sale of a cooperative apartment at
Sherwood House. In addition, the Company recognized deferred gains of $6,359 and
$16,775, respectively, from principal payments received on the Overlook loan and
the Fairfield Towers Second Mortgage.
Balance Sheet
Net mortgage portfolio decreased by $15,231,822 primarily as a result of the
sale of the Fairfield Towers First and Second Mortgage Notes, the sale of the
Grant House wraparound mortgage note and the principal prepayment received on
the Pinewood note receivable. The sale of the Fairfield Towers First and Second
Mortgages resulted in a net decrease of $12,999,827, the sale of the Grant House
wraparound mortgage note resulted in a net decrease of $2,224,287 and the
principal prepayment of $317,662 received on the Pinewood note receivable
resulted in a net decrease of $99,128 after recognizing a deferred gain of
$218,534.
Securities available for sale increased by $3,055,319 as a result of purchases
of $3,120,231 in marketable equity securities, primarily interest-bearing
corporate preferred stocks, offset by a $64,912 decline in the fair value of
securities available for sale.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $7,767,414 primarily as a result of the
$9,711,157 received from the sale of the Fairfield Towers First and Second
Mortgages, the $425,000 received from the sale of the Grant House wraparound
mortgage and the $317,662 principal prepayment received on the Pinewood note
receivable.
Wrap mortgage debt on sold properties decreased by $2,310,963 primarily due to
the sale of the Grant House wraparound mortgage note. As a result of this sale,
the $2,212,240 nonrecourse first mortgage which Presidential's second mortgage
wrapped around was assigned to the purchaser.
Note payable to bank decreased by $10,395,361 primarily as a result of the sale
of the Fairfield Towers First and Second Mortgages. The note payable, which had
been secured by Presidential's interest in the First Mortgage Note, was repaid
from the proceeds of the sale of the Fairfield Towers First and Second
Mortgages.
Net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale decreased by $64,912
as a result of the decrease in the fair value of securities available for sale.
Treasury stock decreased by $135,139. In March, 1999, three directors of the
Company were each given 1,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock as
partial payment for 1999 directors fees. In addition, an officer of the Company
was given 7,000 shares of the Company's Class B common stock as additional
compensation. Such shares had been held in treasury at an average cost of $13.54
per share.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company has completed its assessments of its information technology systems
("IT") and its non-information technology systems ("NIT") for Year 2000
compliance. All Year 2000 sensitive systems have been updated and date
sensitivity testing is in progress, with a target completion date of September,
1999. Requests have been sent and responses have been received for Year 2000
compliance confirmations from tenants, mortgagors, third party vendors and the
Company's property management company. All responses that have been received by
the Company have verified Year 2000 compliance or completion of compliance in a
timely manner.
At March 31, 1999, there were no additional costs to be incurred in relation to
the Year 2000 compliance. At December 31, 1998, the Company had capitalized
$32,393 for replacement of equipment and had expensed $4,789 for the upgrading
of its systems. The estimated costs to complete date sensitivity testing and
further assessments of third party vendors are minimal.
The Company does not anticipate any problems in the testing of its IT systems
and will be Year 2000 compliant. The responses that the Company has received
indicate that the financial institutions, utility companies and major suppliers
of services which are utilized by the Company are or will be Year 2000
compliant. However, the Company's business operations could be affected if these
third party vendors fail to become Year 2000 compliant. The effect of
non-compliance by these third party vendors is not determinable at this time. If
a supplier of goods or services were to fail to become Year 2000 compliant, the
Company would obtain these goods or services from another source. However, the
failure of utility companies (electric, gas, water and telephone) to become Year
2000 compliant could have an adverse effect on the operations of the Company's
properties. These services are not readily available from other sources but
should be available in some form. The Company does not anticipate that the Year
2000 issue will have an adverse effect on the ability of its mortgagors or
tenants to make payments due to the Company in a timely fashion.
As a result of the Company's evaluation of its systems and third party
vendor systems, no formal contingency plan is required.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such
forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or
current expectations of the Company and its management and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, the
following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other
things affect the demand for apartments or commercial space, availability and
creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the terms and
availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets including,
among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real estate
development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives; and
environment/safety requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity and capital
resources to carry on its existing business and, barring any unforeseen
circumstances, to pay the dividends required to maintain REIT status in the
foreseeable future. The Company is seeking to expand its portfolio of real
estate equities and plans to utilize for this purpose a portion of its available
funds and additional funds that the Company may receive from balloon payments
due on the Company's note receivable as they mature, as well as funds that may
be available from external sources. However, the Company's plans to expand its
portfolio of real estate equities may be adversely affected by limitations on
its ability to obtain funds for investment on satisfactory terms from external
sources. Except as discussed herein, management is not aware of any other
trends, events, commitments or uncertainties that will have a significant effect
on liquidity.
Presidential obtains funds for working capital and investment from its
available cash and cash equivalents, from securities available for sale, from
operating activities, from refinancing of mortgage loans on its real estate
equities, and from the sales of or repayments on its mortgage portfolio. The
Company also has at its disposal a $250,000 unsecured line of credit from a
lending institution.
At March 31, 1999, Presidential had $9,531,879 in available cash and cash
equivalents, an increase of $7,767,414 from the $1,764,465 at December 31, 1998.
This increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to cash provided by operating
activities of $1,375,694 and investing activities of $17,821,270, offset by cash
used in financing activities of $11,429,550.
Operating Activities
Presidential's principal source of cash from operating activities is from
interest on its mortgage portfolio, which was $888,356 in 1999, net of interest
payments on wrap mortgage debt and note payable. In 1999, net cash received from
rental property operations was $747,453 , which is net of distributions from
partnership operations to minority partners but before additions and
improvements and mortgage amortization.
Investing Activities
Presidential holds a portfolio of mortgage notes receivable, which consist
primarily of notes arising from sales of real properties previously owned by the
Company. Some of these notes wrap around underlying mortgage debt (the
"Underlying Debt") which is paid by Presidential only out of funds received on
its mortgage portfolio relating to the Underlying Debt. During 1999, the Company
received principal payments of $691,723 on its mortgage portfolio (net of any
principal payments attributable to the Underlying Debt), of which $659,143
represented prepayments, which are sporadic and cannot be relied upon as a
regular source of liquidity.
On February 22, 1999, Presidential consummated the sale of its Fairfield Towers
First and Second Mortgage Notes (excluding a $4,000,000 portion of the Second
Mortgage Note, which it retained).
The First Mortgage Note, which had an outstanding principal balance at the date
of sale of $17,002,695, was acquired by Presidential in October, 1996 at a
discount of $3,500,000. The Second Mortgage Note, which had an outstanding
principal balance at the date of sale of $14,206,895, was obtained by
Presidential when it sold the Fairfield Towers apartment property in 1984.
The aggregate purchase price for the First Mortgage Note and the Second Mortgage
Note (excluding the $4,000,000 interest retained by Presidential) was
$21,350,000. In connection with this transaction, the $4,000,000 portion of the
Second Mortgage Note retained by Presidential was modified to provide for
interest payments at the rate of 9.625% ($385,000) per annum for the first three
years and at 10.5% ($420,000) per annum for the remaining seven years. The
outstanding principal balance of $4,000,000 is due at maturity in 2009. To
secure this obligation, Presidential obtained subordinate security interests in
three apartment properties located in New Jersey as collateral for the Note.
Presidential repaid the $10,195,442 outstanding principal balance of its bank
note payable, which had been secured by Presidential's interest in the First
Mortgage Note. After payment of the bank loan and expenses related to the
transaction, but before payment of any income tax on the capital gain,
Presidential retained approximately $10,111,000 from the sale. Presidential
expects to pay approximately $1,567,000 of taxes on the retained capital gain
and invest the balance of approximately $8,544,000 in rental apartment
properties. Presidential recognized a gain on sale of $7,617,214 (before accrued
taxes of $1,566,474).
In January, 1999, the Company sold its equity portion in the $3,235,833
wraparound mortgage note secured by the Grant House apartment building located
in White Plains, New York. Presidential assigned the $2,212,240 nonrecourse
first mortgage note to the purchaser and received $500,000 for the sale of its
$1,023,593 equity portion of the wraparound mortgage note. As a result of this
transaction, the Company wrote off the $2,212,240 outstanding balance on the
first mortgage and the related $2,212,240 mortgage debt, and recognized a gain
on sale of $425,000.
During 1999, the Company invested $267,844 in additions and improvements to its
properties.
The Company also holds a portfolio of marketable equitable securities which
increased by $3,055,319, primarily as a result of the $3,120,231 purchase of
interest-bearing corporate preferred stocks, offset by a decrease in the fair
value of securities of $64,912.
Financing Activities
The Company's indebtedness at March 31, 1999, consisted of $42,055,240 of
mortgages (including $2,357,499 of underlying indebtedness on properties not
owned by the Company but on which the Company holds wraparound mortgages). The
mortgage debt, which is secured by individual properties, is nonrecourse to the
Company with the exception of the $269,089 Mapletree Industrial Center mortgage,
which is secured by the property and a guarantee of repayment by
Presidential. In addition, some of the Company's mortgages provide for personal
liability for damages resulting from specified acts or circumstances, such as
for environmental liabilities and fraud. Generally, mortgage debt repayment is
serviced with cash flow from the operations of the individual properties. During
1999, the Company made $105,600 of principal payments on mortgage debt on
properties which it owns.
In January, 1999, Presidential refinanced the mortgage on its Cambridge Green
property. The existing $3,120,190 mortgage was paid from the proceeds of the new
$3,195,500 mortgage. The new mortgage bears interest at the rate of 6.65% per
annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $20,358, and
matures on October 1, 2029.
The mortgages on the Company's properties are self-liquidating at fixed rates of
interest with the exception of the mortgages on Fairlawn Gardens, Home Mortgage
Plaza, Building Industries Center, Sunwood Apartments and Continental Gardens.
During 1999, Presidential declared and paid cash distributions of $576,651 to
its shareholders and received proceeds from its dividend reinvestment and share
purchase plan of $24,969.
