FORM 10-Q MARCH 31, 2009

1. General

The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership’s accounting and financial reporting policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments in interim periods considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the Partnership’s results of operations for an interim period and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2009.

2. Investment in Operating Partnership

The Partnership accounts for its investment in Presidential Towers, Ltd. (the “Operating Partnership”) using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recorded at cost, increased or decreased by the Partnership’s share of income or losses, and decreased by distributions. Equity in the loss of the Operating Partnership is no longer recognized once the investment balance reaches zero.

3. Taxable Income

The Partnership’s taxable income for 2009 is not expected to differ from that for financial reporting purposes.

No provision or benefit for Federal income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners individually.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership has paid $2,735 for Illinois replacement tax. The state tax was calculated on rental income reported by the Operating Partnership.

FORM 10-Q MARCH 31, 2009

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The matters discussed in this Form 10-Q contain certain forward-looking information and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) The discussion of the Partnership’s business and results of operations, including forward-looking information pertaining to such matters does not take into account the effects of any changes to the Partnership’s business and results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein.

This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in the report.

General

On January 24, 2008, the Partnership received a distribution from the Operating Partnership of $1,679,832. This leaves the Operating Partnership with approximately $1,000,000 in its bank account to satisfy contingent obligations. Once these obligations are satisfied, it is expected that the Operating Partnership will distribute any remaining funds and liquidate.

On February 27, 2008, the Managing General Partner distributed cash proceeds to the limited partners in the aggregate amount of $1,302,100 which equates to $2,206.95 per investment unit. As of March 31, 2009, there were approximately 485 investor limited partners holding 590 outstanding units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership’s primary source of liquidity is distributions from Presidential Towers Ltd., an Illinois limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As a result of a significant restructuring of the ownership and debt of the Operating Partnership that was finalized in April 1995, the Partnership currently holds a 19.998% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Partnership is responsible for paying various administrative costs associated with monitoring the Partnership’s investment in the Operating Partnership, and paying various professional fees associated with the affairs of the Partnership.

PRESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATES I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

FORM 10-Q MARCH 31, 2009

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

The Operating Partnership made a distribution to the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 of $0 and $1,679,832, respectively. In connection with the April 1995 restructuring, the Partnership is entitled to receive a reimbursement from the Operating Partnership for its administrative expenses and professional fees up to an annual maximum of $30,000 as well as its allocable share of all distributions after a preferred return to TKI Presidential Partners (“TKI”), which preferred return was satisfied in 2001. In addition, the Operating Partnership distributes to the Partnership an amount equal to the amount of income allocated to the Partnership by the Operating Partnership in each year. Accordingly, depending on the Operating Partnership’s operating results, it is expected that the Partnership will receive annual distributions from the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2009, the amounts receivable from the Operating Partnership for annual reimbursement of expenses is $120,000 which is included in due from affiliates in the balance sheet. However, due to the uncertainty of collection from the Operating Partnership, the partnership has fully reserved against the receivable of $120,000.

The Partnership issued distribution checks to two former investors who had not notified the Partnership that they had sold their respective LP interests. As of March 31, 2009, amounts receivable from the former investors is $3,310, which is included in due from investor limited partners on the balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2009, the Partnership owed distributions to investor limited partners in the amount of $241,116. The liability is due to checks that were issued to investors then voided. The balance is expected to be repaid during the year ending December 31, 2009.

The Partnership’s liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents decreased by $108,187 to $6,986,406 at March 31, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008. This decrease was due to the payment of distributions owed to investor limited partners of $106,677. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $11,634 for payments made for audit and accounting fees. It is expected that so long as the Partnership’s administrative expenses do not exceed $30,000 in any year, unless the Operating Partnership makes a distribution, the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents will remain relatively constant until the Operating Partnership is liquidated.

The Partnership’s liquid assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The Partnership did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements in any of the years as presented.

FORM 10-Q MARCH 31, 2009

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Net loss was $49,876 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to net income of $1,779,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net income to net loss is primarily due to the Partnership receiving a distribution of $1,679,832 from the Operating Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Also, the Partnership reserved the balance of $120,000 receivable from the Operating Partnership, and recorded it as bad debt expense which is included in other expenses on the statements of operations. The amount of bad debt expense was offset by an expense reimbursement receivable from the Operating Partnership recorded in the amount of $60,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and included in other expenses on the statement of operations.

The Partnership is entitled to receive interest income at 18 percent per annum on investor notes from defaulted investors. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of defaulted investor notes, the Partnership recognizes interest income only as collections are made from the final anticipated distributions due to defaulted investors. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership earned $17,745 of interest income, all of which has been fully reserved.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

None.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s General Partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Partnership carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Fund’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a – 14(c). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in the Partnership’s periodic SEC filings.

Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

Item 5. Other Information

On March 7, 2007 the Operating Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Project. The sale closed on April 18, 2007, resulting in a cash distribution of $65,393,460 to the Partnership. The Managing General Partner has reserved $5,000,000 intended to cover any unforeseen liabilities. After repayment of debt, expenses incurred by the Operating Partnership in connection with the sale, and costs and fees payable by the Partnership in connection with the transaction, the Managing General Partner distributed cash proceeds to the limited partners on May 18, 2007, in the aggregate amount of $56,227,336, which equates to $94,239.56 per investment unit for individuals and $98,032.69 for non-individuals. On January 24, 2008, the Partnership received a distribution from the Operating Partnership of $1,679,832. This leaves the Operating Partnership with approximately $1,000,000 in its bank account to satisfy contingent obligations. On February 27, 2008, the Managing General Partner distributed cash proceeds to the limited partners in the aggregate amount of $1,302,100 which equates to $2,206.95 per investment unit. However, as the dissolution of the Partnership was not imminent as of March 31, 2009 the financial statements are presented assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going concern.
