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-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2007.





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, 2008.





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 2008 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 quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership has paid $1,572,376 for
Illinois replacement tax.  The state tax was calculated on the gain
resulting from the Operating Partnership selling a building located in
Illinois.

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 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.  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 June 30, 2008, there were
approximately 504 investor limited partners holding 590 outstanding units. An
additional distribution may occur upon dissolution of the Partnership, which is
expected to occur in late 2008 or early 2009.





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.

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 six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $1,679,832 and $65,393,460,
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
June 30, 2008, the amounts receivable from the Operating Partnership for annual
reimbursement of expenses is $60,000, which is included in due from affiliates
in the balance sheet.





As of
June 30, 2008, the Partnership owed distributions to investor limited partners
in the amount of $464,604.  The liability is due to checks that were
issued to investors then voided.  The balance is expected to be repaid
during 2008.





The
Partnership’s liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents decreased by
$4,310,592 to $7,187,261 at June 30, 2008, as compared to December 31,
2007.  This decrease was due to the payment of a liquidation fee in
the amount of $2,850,000 to an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership
also paid $1,572,376 for Illinois replacement tax on the gain from the sale of a
building by the Operating Partnership.  This decrease was reduced by
the distribution received from the operating partnership of $1,679,832, as
offset by distributions made to the Partnership’s investors of
$1,302,100.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by
$22,795 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.





Results of
Operations





Net
income was $1,781,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net
income of $65,862,602 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  The
decrease in net income is primarily due to the Partnership receiving a
distribution of $65,393,460 from the Operating Partnership during the six months
ended June 30, 2007.

Results of Operations
(Continued)





Net
income was $2,042 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net
income of $65,854,432 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The
decrease in net income is primarily due to the Partnership receiving a
distribution of $65,393,460 from the Operating Partnership during the three
months ended June 30, 2007.





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 six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership
earned $30,870 of interest income, of which $11,035 is treated as distributions
retained and disclosed as a noncash activity on the statements of cash
flows.





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
June 30, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial
reporting.

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

Partnership was not imminent as of June 30, 2008 the financial statements are
presented assuming that the Partnership will continue as a going
concern.
