PRINCETON AMERICAN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. The statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. 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. In the opinion of management, the financial statements
reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature) which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of
operations for the six months ended November 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10K-SB for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000.
2. CANCELLATION OF OUTSTANDING SHARES AND ISSUANCE OF NEW SHARES
On September 15, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court ordered Princeton American and
its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust ("AST") to cancel
all outstanding Princeton American share certificates and issue new
share certificates reflecting the allowed interest of shareholders
under the Plan of Reorganization for Princeton American and the Court's
prior orders. The Court further ordered that Princeton American and AST
are not subject to any claim based upon the cancellation of outstanding
share certificates and the issuance of new certificates in accordance
with the Court's orders. The final order became final and
non-appealable on September 29, 2000.
Princeton American is in the process of implementing the Court's order, and
new share certificates will be issued for the allowed interests as soon
as reasonably practicable. In connection with the issuance of new
certificates, Princeton American has also initiated a process to change
its trading symbol. Effective as of October 9, 2000, the trading
symbol, PELT, has been officially cancelled, and no further trades will
be made under that symbol. After new certificates have been issued to a
majority of those shareholders possessing an allowed interest, a new
trading symbol will be issued to Princeton American.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained in this report discuss future
expectations, contain projections of results of operations or financial
condition or state other "forward-looking" information. Those statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the
statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was
derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that may cause actual
results to differ from forward-looking statements and projections include, for
example:
- a downturn in the Phoenix, Arizona real estate market,
particularly one which would adversely affect commercial lease
rates;
- an adverse result in the Weiss or other litigation referred to
in this report;
- any change in tax laws which would change the Company's
ability to utilize its tax loss carryforward or the inability
under existing tax laws for the full utilization of such tax
loss carryforward;
- an inability of the Company to regain listed or trading status
on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, NASDAQ, the American
Stock Exchange, or some other recognized market or exchange;
- certain operations of the Company, including the formation of
alliances with other entities, will remain under the
jurisdiction of and be subject to the confirmation and
approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The decisions of the
Bankruptcy Court, with respect to Company operations retained
under its jurisdiction, could affect the business of the
Company;
- the inability of the Company to secure renewals of existing
leases at commercially reasonable rates or to promptly replace
tenants following the expiration of existing leases;
- the effect of changing economic conditions; and
- other risks which may be described in our future filings with
Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not promise to
update forward-looking information to reflect actual results
or changes in assumptions or other factors that could affect
those statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Since the filing of the 10QSB for the first quarter ended August 31, 2000,
Management has focused on:
- Continuing settlement negotiations with Harry and Irene Weiss with
respect to their claim which is currently the subject of several
appeals by both parties in the Federal District Court of Arizona and
the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. On December 11, 2000, pursuant to
stipulated agreement of the parties, Federal District Judge Paul G.
Rosenblatt remanded the Weiss issues before his court for a settlement
mediation before Bankruptcy Court Judge Charles G. Case II. The
mediation proceedings are set before Judge Case on January 19,
2001. There is no assurance that the mediation process will be
successful.
- Leasing of suite 200 at 4908 North 22nd Street, Phoenix, Arizona. A
lease of the second floor (10,000 square feet) of this office building
was entered into with Alliance Investors, LLC, a residential
development company on December 5, 2000. Alliance has 420 employees
(with 44 in the Phoenix office) and over a billion dollars of real
estate under management. The lease is for five years at an average
annual rate of $20.44 per square foot for a total of $ 1,046,960 in
revenues to Princeton over the term of the lease. Occupancy is
scheduled for February 1, 2001. When this tenant completes its move in,
the building will be fully leased with projected revenues of $390,312
annually. Alliance will continue to occupy suites 210 and 250 at the
Camelback address formerly leased to BRE (Alliance's predecessor) until
it moves into its new quarters at 4808 North 22nd Street. Princeton is
required under the terms of the lease to provide $70,000 of tenant
improvements in the form of reduced rent over a period of ten months
commencing May 1, 2001.
- Leasing of vacant spaces at 2222 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, Arizona.
With the pending move of Alliance Investors, LLC to the 4808 North 22nd
Street facility, Princeton has been marketing suites 200, 210 and 250.
The Company has presented a draft for the lease of suites 200 and 210
to United Title Company. Upon execution of the lease, United Title will
occupy these spaces effective February 1, 2001. The lease is for five
years at an average annual rate of $ 23.00 per square foot for a total
of $ 607,430 in revenues to the Company over the term of the lease.
Princeton is required under the terms of the lease to provide
approximately $12,000 in tenant improvements in the form of reduced
rent during a portion of the first year of the lease.
Suite 250 has been offered to Nationwide Vision Centers. Negotiations
are ongoing at this time and are based upon terms similar to the United
Title lease. It is expected that a lease with this clinic will be
concluded in time for the tenant to occupy this space during the second
or third month of this calendar year.
- Implementing the adjustments of outstanding shares and shareholders. On
September 15, 2000, The Bankruptcy Court entered its Order: (1)
Approving Cancellation Of Outstanding
-7-
10
Share Certificates and Issuance Of New Certificates, and (2) Barring
Claims. A copy of the Order is contained in the Form 8-K set forth in
Item 6 hereof.
Pursuant to the Order, American Stock Transfer & Trust has been
directed to cancel all outstanding shares of the Company. As of October
9, 2000, Princeton's trading symbol "PELT" has been officially
cancelled and no further trades will be made under that symbol. On
October 10, 2000, notice was mailed to those shareholders possessing an
allowed interest, requesting that the cancelled share certificates be
returned to the Company to be replaced by new certificates as
authorized by the Order. Once this process is completed, Princeton will
have approximately 15,000,000 shares issued and outstanding. The
Company has applied to the NASD for registration of the Company's
shares for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board Market
(OTCBB). It is anticipated that a new trading symbol will be issued by
the NASD if Princeton's application is approved.
THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
NOVEMBER 30, 1999
We believe that our cash position of $ 8,238 as of November 30, 2000,
coupled with the increased revenues resulting from the lease-up of 4808
North 22nd Street, and the leasing to United Title and Nationwide
Vision Centers of the spaces at 2222 East Camelback Road (to be vacated
by Alliance Investors, LLC) will be sufficient to continue operations
for the next twelve months under bankruptcy court supervision.
The company is required to pay all unsecured and administrative claims
(aggregating $679,289, but not including the Weiss claim) in order to
emerge from bankruptcy proceedings. In order to raise the capital
necessary to accomplish this, we plan to either: (1) Sell 4808 North
22nd Street or (2) refinance both office buildings. Either of these
alternatives (or a combination thereof) should produce sufficient funds
to discharge these obligations. Efforts are ongoing to sell the 4808
building. We have had a tentative commitment from a lender to refinance
both buildings, pending resolution of outstanding bankruptcy issues.
