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

At June 30, 2022, 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 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 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, 2021 filed on March 31, 2022.

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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is the primary beneficiary, generally as a result of having the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and holding variable interest that convey to the Company the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

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

Investments in Joint Venture

The Company has an equity investment in a joint venture and accounts for this investment using the fair value method of accounting.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing of space at our Mapletree Property, which primarily consist of monthly base rents in addition to the reimbursement of utilities. Other rental revenues, which are included as a component of rental revenue, primarily include fees related to build-out or other services performed by the Company on the property.

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( ASC 606) effective January 1, 2018, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements, as the majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized under ASC 840, Leases, and subsequently ASC 842, Leases, upon its adoption, which are scoped out of ASC 606. ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires us to recognize for certain of our revenue sources the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s other rental revenues recognized in accordance with ASC 606 are recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. Such revenues are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) effective January 1, 2019, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. As a lessor, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (as amended by subsequent ASUs) did not change the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s rental revenues. Revenues from the leasing of space at our property to tenants includes (i) lease components, including fixed and variable lease payments, and nonlease components which include reimbursement of electric expense and (ii) reimbursement of real estate taxes. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease and nonlease components of our operating lease agreements and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842.

Revenues derived from fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable period of the lease, together with renewal options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. We commence rental revenue recognition when the underlying asset is available for use by the lessee. Revenue derived from the reimbursement of real estate taxes and electric expense are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred, which did not change as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

The Company assess the collectability of lease receivables (including future minimum rental payments) both at commencement and throughout the lease term. If our assessment of collectability changes during the lease term, any difference between the revenue that would have been received under the straight-line method and the lease payments that have been collected will be recognized as a current period adjustment to rental revenue. Rental revenue associated with leases where collectability has been deemed less than probable is recognized on a cash basis in accordance with ASC 842. 

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 allowance of bad debt. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance relating to tenant receivables was $6,220 and $6,235, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share data is computed by dividing net income (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 (loss) 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 and six months ended June 30, 2022, the weighted average shares outstanding as used in the calculation of diluted loss per share do not include 550,000, of outstanding stock options, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average shares outstanding as used in the calculation of diluted income per share does not include 550,000 of outstanding stock options as those shares are contingent and all the necessary conditions are not satisfied as of June 30, 2021.

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 an expense, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which typically equals the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.

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.

The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expect to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions within the United States of America. The Company remains subject to examination in all tax jurisdictions until the applicable statutes of limitation expire. As of June 30, 2022, the tax years after 2019 remain subject to examination. The Company did not record unrecognized tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update requires immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (“CECL”). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred. The new model is applicable to all financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, for public entities qualifying as smaller reporting companies. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements and does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Real estate is comprised of the following:

Rental revenue is from our Mapletree Property which constituted all of the rental revenue for the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Presidential has elected to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code. A REIT which it 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.

These net operating losses may be available in future years to reduce taxable income when and if it is generated. These loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2027 and are available to offset 100% of taxable income. Net operating losses generated in 2018 and thereafter will be available to offset 80% of taxable income beginning in 2021. Under the Cares Act, taxpayers with NOLs arising in tax years beginning in 2018, 2019 and 2020 can carry them back five years.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a tax loss of approximately $6,000 and $123,000 ($.00 per share) and ($.02 per share), respectively, which was all an ordinary loss.

There is pending in the Supreme Court of the state of New York county of New York (Index No. 656191/2017) an action entitled MLF3 NWJ LLC filed in October of 2017, against Nickolas W. Jekogian, III, Presidential Realty Corporation, Presidential Realty Operating Partnership LP, First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated, First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership, Nickolas W. Jekogian, JR. as trustee of The BBJ Family Irrevocable Trust, Alexander Ludwig, Signature Group Advisors LLC, Richard Brandt, Marjorie Feder as Executrix of the Estate of Robert Feder, Jeffrey F. Joseph, Jeffrey Rogers.

The litigation is related to actions taken by Mr. Jekogian individually on a real estate project and personal guarantee that predated his involvement with the Company.  The Plaintiff had received a judgment against Mr. Jekogian for approximately $1,500,000, in addition to attorneys’ fees, and had filed a lien on assets owned individually by Mr. Jekogian including certain options and warrants to purchase stock in the Company. When the Company entered into the Contribution Agreement with FC REIT in January of 2017, Mr. Jekogian surrendered these options and warrants to purchase stock in the Company as part of the transaction. The Plaintiff is arguing that they had a lien on Mr. Jekogian’s options and warrants in the Company and that the actions taken by the Company, its Officers and Directors, in entering into the Contribution Agreement with FC REIT fraudulently conveyed their interests in the options and warrants owned by Mr. Jekogian and damaged their position. The Company, its Officers and Directors, named in this action had no involvement in this personal matter relating to Mr. Jekogian and answered the complaint in February of 2018 stating that it had no merit.   Since that time, the Company has received no additional notification that the action against the Company, its Officers and Directors is moving forward.   The Company believes that as to the Company, Officers and Directors, the claims have no merit.

The following summarizes the outstanding and vested stock option activity as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021: 

ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). The standards generally require the use of one or more valuation techniques that include the market, income or cost approaches. The standards also establish market or observable inputs as the preferred source of values when using such valuation techniques, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Non-Financial asset that is measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet consists of a real estate partnership investment. The tables below aggregate the fair values of the non-financial assets by their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Investment in Avalon Jubilee, LLC

Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates. These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, current and anticipated market conditions, and industry publications. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of this real estate partnership investment.

The inputs above are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit. Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of the investment. The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows. Therefore, a change in the fair value of the investment resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values. The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of real estate investments that are classified as Level 3.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables and accrued expenses and other liabilities are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

At June 30, 2022, the $1,567,695 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgage payable is greater than their $1,508,085 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs of $48,179), assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.34% based on the 3.2 year remaining term to maturity of the mortgage

At December 31, 2021, the $1,598,382 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgage payable is greater than their $1,529,570 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs of $56,045), assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.62% based on the 3.8 year remaining term to maturity of the mortgage.

The fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
