PART I
Item 1.
Business
As used
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the “Company”
refers, unless the context otherwise requires, to PGI Incorporated
and its subsidiaries. The Company’s executive offices are at
212 S. Central, St. Louis, Missouri, 63105, and its telephone
number is (314) 512-8650.
The
Company, a Florida corporation, was founded in 1958, and up until
the mid 1990’s was in the business of building and selling
homes, developing and selling home sites and selling undeveloped or
partially developed tracts of land. Over approximately the last 25
years, the Company’s business focus and emphasis changed
substantially as it has concentrated its sales and marketing
efforts almost exclusively on the disposition of its remaining real
estate. This change was prompted by its continuing financial
difficulties due to the principal and interest owed on its
debt.
The
Company’s remaining land inventory consists of 6 single
family lots, an approximate 7 acre parcel and some other minor
parcels of real estate consisting of easements in Citrus County,
Florida, which are owned through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Sugarmill Woods, Inc. (“Sugarmill Woods”). In addition,
Punta Gorda Isles Sales, Inc. (“PGIS”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, owns 12 parcels of real estate in
Charlotte County, Florida, which total approximately 60 acres, but
these parcels have limited value because of associated
developmental constraints such as wetlands, easements, and/or other
obstacles to development and sale.
As of
December 31, 2018, the Company had no employees, and all services
provided to the Company are through contract services.

Properties
The
Company’s remaining land inventory consists of 6 single
family lots, an approximate 7 acre parcel and some other minor
parcels of real estate consisting of easements in Citrus County,
Florida, which are owned through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Sugarmill Woods. In addition, PGIS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, owns 12 parcels of real estate in Charlotte County,
Florida, which total approximately 60 acres, but these parcels have
limited value because of associated developmental constraints such
as wetlands, easements, and/or other obstacles to development and
sale. The Company continues its efforts to dispose of all of its
real estate.
The
Company believes the properties are adequately covered by
insurance.
Item 3. Legal
Proceedings
The
Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in
the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management
that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and
lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of the Company.

Item 5. Market for
Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters
and
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
There
is no public trading market for the Company’s common equity
securities. There have been no reported transactions in the
Company’s common stock, par value $.10 (the “Common
Stock”), since January 29, 1991, with the exception of the
odd lot tender offer by PGIP LLC (“PGIP”), an affiliate
of the Company, in 2003 which was described previously in the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2004 and the 2,260,706 shares of Common Stock
assigned by Love-PGI Partners, L.P. (“L-PGI”) to Love
Investment Company (“LIC”), an affiliate of L-PGI,
effective December 31, 2016.

No
dividends have ever been paid on the Common Stock, and payment of
dividends on the Common Stock is restricted under the terms of the
two indentures (one of which matured on June 1, 1991 and the other
on May 1, 1992) pursuant to which the Company’s outstanding
subordinated convertible debentures were issued and by the terms of
the Company’s preferred stock. As of December 31, 2018, to
the Company’s knowledge, there were 553 holders of record of
the Company’s Common Stock and 347 debenture
holders.

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
liabilities of the Company exceed the reported value of its assets.
Management’s efforts and activities have been, and continue
to be, to sell assets of the Company to repay its indebtedness and
to pay the ordinary administrative expenditures in keeping an
inactive company in existence. The aggregate remaining land
inventory is less than 70 acres, consisting of multiple parcels
located in two Florida counties. These parcels have limited value
because of associated development constraints such as wetlands,
easements and other obstacles to development and sale. At December
31, 2018 the carrying value of the land inventory was $14,000. The
Company is seeking to realize full market value for such land.
However, certain land parcels may be of so little value and
marketability that the Company may elect not to pay the real estate
taxes on selected parcels, which may eventually result in a defacto
liquidation of such property by subjecting such property to a tax
sale.
In
management’s judgment, the assets will be insufficient to
satisfy much, if any, of the outstanding indebtedness of the
Company. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a “going
concern,” as that term is used for generally accepted
accounting purposes. The asset carrying values shown in the
financial statements, are judged to be reasonable estimates of the
value, when viewed in the context of the entirety of the financial
statements.
The
Company’s financial statement indebtedness includes the: (i)
6.5% subordinated convertible debentures, which matured in June,
1991, with a remaining face amount of $138,000; (ii) its 6.0%
subordinated convertible debentures which matured in May, 1992,
with a remaining face amount of $8,025,000; and (iii) various notes
payable, with a remaining face amount of $1,198,000.
With
respect to the 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures, the
Trustee provided notice of final distribution to the holders of
such debentures on September 2, 2014. In connection with such final
distribution, the Trustee maintained a debenture reserve fund with
a balance of $13,000 and $41,000 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively, which is available for final distribution of $92 per
$1,000 in face amount to remaining holders of such debentures who
surrender their respective debenture certificates.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, $28,000 of the debenture reserve
funds were utilized with $2,000 disbursed in final distribution to
debenture holders and $26,000 disbursed in escheatment to states of
respective debenture holders as debentures with a face amount of
$22,000 were surrendered by debenture holders and $287,000 in face
amount of debentures were effectively surrendered with the
escheatment of respective funds to the states of debenture holders,
respectively. Accordingly, the Company has recognized $281,000 in
forgiveness of debt during the year ended December 31, 2018. In
addition, accrued interest of $594,000 on such debentures that are
considered surrendered was recorded as forgiveness of interest
expense during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no
debentures surrendered or escheated in 2017 and no funds were
utilized from the debenture reserve account.

Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
As of
December 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance on such 6.5%
subordinated convertible debentures that were not surrendered by
the respective holders, or escheated by the Trustee to the states
of residence of the respective holders, equals $138,000 plus
accrued and unpaid interest of $270,000. The outstanding principal
on such respective debentures as of December 31, 2017 was $447,000
plus accrued and unpaid interest of $846,000.
The
6.5% subordinated convertible debenture balances for the years
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

If and
when such remaining debentures are surrendered to the Trustee, the
applicable portion of such principal and accrued interest will
similarly be recorded as debt and interest forgiveness. As the
Company has consistently stated in prior filings, the Company
believes that any potential claims by the respective debenture
holders on such 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures would be
barred under the applicable statutes of limitations.
In
addition to the convertible subordinated debentures noted above,
the Company’s financial statement indebtedness includes its
6.0% subordinated convertible debentures which matured in May,
1992, with a remaining face amount of $8,025,000.

|
Both
issues of subordinated convertible debentures have been in payment
default for over twenty-five years. It is unclear whether any
action on behalf of the bondholders is presently likely, given the
negative net worth of the Company and continuing passage of time.
Further, the Company believes that if claims were to be asserted
with respect to the 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures which
matured on June 1, 1991, they would be barred under the applicable
statutes of limitations.
If such
claims are barred, the Company will likely recognize income in like
amount for income tax purposes, without the receipt of any cash.
Management estimates that the potential income tax liability may be
largely averted by the insolvency exception of the tax laws and the
utilization of the Company’s tax loss carryforwards, which as
of December 31, 2018 totaled approximately
$68,477,000.
Even if
claims by the subordinated convertible debenture holders are barred
in full and there is no cash tax consequence to the Company as a
result of the utilization of the tax loss carry forwards, the
Company would nonetheless have a substantial Stockholders’
Deficiency. As of December 31, 2018, the Stockholders’
Deficiency of the Company was $90,996,000.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2018 decreased by $8,000 to $7,000 compared
to revenues of $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017,
primarily as a result of a decrease in related party interest
income. The related party interest income is the result of the
Company’s investment in a $560,000 short term note with LIC,
which investment was made during the year ended December 31, 2017.
The Company received payment of the outstanding note receivable
from LIC in March, 2018. Related party interest income totaled
$5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $13,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2017. Interest income of $2,000,
represents interest earned on the Company’s money market
account during the years ended December 31, 2018 and
2017.

Interest expense
relating to the Company’s current outstanding debt held by
non-related parties, increased by $28,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017,
primarily as a result of interest accruing on past due balances
which increased at various intervals throughout the year for
accrued but unpaid interest.
The
Company recognized $875,000 in forgiveness of debt and accrued
interest during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Trustee of
the 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures, which matured in
June, 1991, provided notice of final distribution to the holders of
such debentures on September 2, 2014. In connection with such final
distribution, the Trustee designated the remaining balance of the
debenture reserve fund held by the Trustee for final distribution
of $92 per $1,000 in face amount to holders of such debentures who
surrender their respective debenture certificates.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, $28,000 of the debenture reserve
funds were utilized with $2,000 disbursed in final distribution to
debenture holders and $26,000 disbursed in escheatment to states of
respective debenture holders as debentures with a face amount of
$22,000 were surrendered by debenture holders and $287,000 in face
amount of debentures were effectively surrendered with the
escheatment of respective funds to the states of debenture holders,
respectively. Accordingly, the Company has recognized $281,000 in
forgiveness of debt during the year ended December 31, 2018. In
addition, accrued interest of $594,000 on such debentures that are
considered surrendered was recorded as forgiveness of interest
expense during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no
debentures surrendered or escheated in 2017 and no funds were
utilized from the debenture reserve account.

Consulting and
accounting expense was $36,000 and $37,000 for the years ended

2017. In addition, accounting service fees of $33,600 were paid to
LREC in 2018 and 2017.

The
Company recognized an income tax expense of $57,000 during the year
ended December 31, 2017 for the 2016 Alternative Minimum tax on the
2016 gain recognized on the sales of real estate.
The net
loss was $736,000 ($.26 per share loss) for the year ended December
31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $1,566,000 ($.41 per share loss)
for the year ended December 31, 2017 with such difference of
$830,000 being primarily attributable to the forgiveness of debt
and interest of $875,000 in 2018 described above. Included in the
2018 and 2017 loss per share computation is $640,000 ($.12 per
share of Common Stock) of annual cumulative preferred stock
dividends in arrears.

Net
cash used in operating activities was $193,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2018 compared to cash used in operations of $239,000
for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net cash used in operations
consists of cash received from operations less cash expended for
operations.
Cash
received from operations during the year ended December 31, 2018
was $20,000, which represents $2,000
in interest income earned on the Company’s money
market account and $18,000 in related party interest payments
received from the Company’s note receivable with LIC. Cash
received from operations in the year ended December 31, 2017 was
$2,000, which represented interest income earned on the
Company’s money market account.
Cash
expended for operations during the year ended December 31, 2018 was
$213,000 which represents a decrease of $28,000 compared to cash
expended for operations of $241,000 in the year ended December 31,
2017. The decrease primarily is a result of the payment of $57,000
for income taxes during the year ended December 31, 2017 for the
2016 Alternative Minimum tax on the 2016 gain recognized on the
sales of real estate. This decrease is offset by an increase of
$4,000 in real estate taxes paid in the year ended December 31,
2018 due to the payment of 2017 accrued real estate taxes in 2018
and the payment of 2018 real estate tax expense in the year ended
December 31, 2018. In addition, there was an increase of $24,000 in
general and administrative expenses for increased audit and tax
related fees in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
December 31, 2017.
Related
party receivables decreased by $573,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2018 as the Company received the balance of a
short-term note receivable with LIC in March, 2018. The short-term
note receivable with LIC carried interest at 4.5% per annum. During
the year ended December 31, 2017 investing activities utilized
$560,000 of cash, which represented the short-term loan to
LIC.
Other
assets decreased by $29,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018
primarily due to $28,000 of the debenture reserve funds utilized in
final distribution for surrender and escheatment of debentures in
2018 and decreased by $1,000 in deferred charges.

for legal services incurred in connection with the evaluation of
the Company’s business focus alternatives and $8,000 for the
accrual of the current year’s annual administration fees
relating to the 6% subordinated convertible
debentures.
Accrued
real estate taxes decreased by $4,000 at December 31, 2018 compared

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
The
increase in accrued interest of $793,000 represents interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $1,388,000 less
$594,000 in forgiveness of interest relating to the 6.5%
convertible subordinated debentures that were surrendered or
escheated in 2018. There was no payment of interest during the year
ended December 31, 2018. The accrued interest relating to
convertible subordinated debentures increased due to the additional
accrual of interest on the nonpayment of previously accrued
interest on the Company’s debentures (see Note 8 to the
consolidated financial statements under Item 8). The notes payable
and convertible subordinated debentures, including accrued
interest, are past due.
Convertible
subordinated debentures payable decreased by $309,000 during the
year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of 6.5% subordinated
convertible debentures in face amount of $22,000 that were
surrendered in 2018 and $287,000 in face amount of debentures that
were effectively surrendered with escheatment of respective
debenture funds to the states of debenture holders.
The
Company’s stockholders’ deficiency increased to
$90,996,000 at December 31, 2018 from a $90,260,000
stockholders’ deficiency at December 31, 2017, reflecting the
2018 operating loss of $736,000.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company has no Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, “Presentation of
Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern”, is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and, accordingly,
this is discussed in Footnote 2 to the financial
statements.
ASU No.
2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606)”, is effective for fiscal years beginningafter December
15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and
accordingly, this is discussed in Footnote 2 to the financial
statements.
Forward Looking Statements
The
discussion set forth in this Item 7, as well as other portions of
this Form 10-K, may contain forward-looking statements. Such
statements are based upon the information currently available to
management of the Company and management’s perception thereof
as of the date of the Form 10-K. When used in this Form 10-K, words
such as “anticipates,” “estimates,”
“believes,” “appears”,
“expects,” and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means
of identifying such statements. Such statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties. Actual results of the Company’s
operations could materially differ from those forward-looking
statements. The differences could be caused by a number of factors
or combination of factors including, but not limited to: changes in
the real estate market in Florida and the counties in which the
Company owns any property; the overall national economy and
financial markets; institution of legal action by the bondholders
for collection of any amounts due under the subordinated
convertible debentures (notwithstanding the Company’s belief
that at least a portion of such actions might be barred under
applicable statute of limitations); changes in management strategy;
and other factors set forth in reports and other documents filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time
to time.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
position of PGI Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
deficiency and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”). In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has a significant accumulated deficit and is in default of
certain sinking fund and interest payments on its convertible
subordinated debentures. These matters raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plans in this regard to these
matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
based on our audits.
We are
a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due
to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a
test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1.
Nature of Business and Going Concern
PGI
Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Company), a Florida corporation,
was founded in 1958, and up until the mid 1990’s was in
business of building and selling homes, developing and selling home
sites and selling undeveloped or partially developed tracts of
land. Over approximately the last 25 years, the Company’s
business focus and emphasis changed substantially as it has
concentrated its sales and marketing efforts almost exclusively on
the disposition of its remaining real estate.
The
Company has a significant accumulated deficit and is in default of
certain sinking fund and interest payments on its convertible
subordinated debentures (Note 8).
The
Company’s major efforts and activities have been, and
continue to be, to sell assets of the Company to repay its
indebtedness and to pay the ordinary administrative expenditures in
keeping an inactive company in existence. The aggregate remaining
land inventory is less than 70 acres, consisting of multiple
parcels located in Florida counties. These parcels have limited
value because of associated development.constraints such as
wetlands, easements and other obstacles to development and sale.
The potential values of the land parcels held for sale has been
difficult to assess as the remaining land inventory is difficult to
sell and difficult to value. While the Company will seek to realize
full market value for each remaining asset, the amounts realized
may be at substantial variance from its present financial statement
carrying value. Certain of these assets may be of so little value
and marketability that the Company may elect not to pay the real
estate taxes on selected parcels, which may eventually result in a
defacto liquidation of such property by subjecting such property to
a tax sale.
In
management’s judgment, the assets will be insufficient to
satisfy much, if any, of the outstanding indebtedness and there
will be no recoveries by the shareholders. Consequently, there is
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern within one year after the date that the financial
statements are issued. The asset carrying values shown in the
financial statements, are judged to be reasonable estimates of the
value, when viewed in the context of the entirety of the financial
statements.

Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after eliminating all
significant inter-company transactions.

2.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue and Profit Recognition Change in Accounting
Principle
In May
2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606)” which requires entities to
recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is
transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in
exchange for those goods or services. We adopted this standard
using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU
2014-09 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
Acreage
Sales
of undeveloped and developed acreage tracts are recognized, net of
any deferred revenue and valuation discount.
Land Inventory
Land
inventory is stated at cost.
Cash
The
Company’s cash accounts exceed federally insured limits by
approximately $276,000.
3.
Interest Income:
Interest income
totaled $7,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
interest income of $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Related party interest income decreased by $8,000 during the year
ended December 31, 2018 to $5,000 from $13,000 for the comparable
period in 2017. The related party interest income is the result of
the Company’s investment in a $560,000 short term note with
LIC, which investment was made during the year ended December 31,
2017. The Company received payment of the outstanding note
receivable from LIC in March, 2018. Interest income of $2,000,
represents interest earned on the Company’s money market
account during the years ended December 31, 2018 and
2017.

The
Trustee of the 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures, which
matured in June 1991, with an original face amount of $1,034,000,
provided notice of a final distribution to holders of such
debentures on September 2, 2014. In connection with such final
distribution, the Trustee has maintained a debenture reserve fund
with a balance of $13,000 and $41,000 as of December 31, 2018 and
2017, respectively, available for distribution to holders of such
debentures who surrender their respective debenture
certificates.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, $28,000 of the debenture reserve
funds were utilized with $2,000 disbursed in final distribution to
debenture holders and $26,000 disbursed in escheatment to states of
respective debenture holders as debentures with a face amount of
$22,000 were surrendered by debenture holders and $287,000 in face
amount of debentures were effectively surrendered with the
escheatment of respective funds to the states of debenture holders,
respectively. Accordingly, the Company has recognized $281,000 in
forgiveness of debt during the year ended December 31, 2018. In
addition, accrued interest of $594,000 on such debentures that are
considered surrendered was recorded as forgiveness of interest
expense during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no
debentures surrendered or escheated in 2017 and no funds were
utilized from the debenture reserve account.

Subordinated Convertible
Debentures Payable (continued):
As of
December 31, 2018, the outstanding principal balance on such 6.5%
subordinated convertible debentures that were not surrendered by
the respective holders, or escheated by the Trustee to the states
of residence of the respective holders, equals $138,000 plus
accrued and unpaid interest of $270,000. The outstanding principal
on such respective debentures as of December 31, 2017 was $447,000
plus accrued and unpaid interest of $846,000.

If and
when such remaining debentures are surrendered to the Trustee, the

similarly be recorded as debt and interest forgiveness. As the
Company has consistently stated in prior filings, the Company
believes that any potential claims by the respective debenture
holders on such 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures would be
barred under the applicable statutes of limitations.
Since
issuance, $650,000 and $152,000 of the 6.5% and 6% debentures,
respectively, have been converted into common stock. This
conversion feature is no longer in effect.
The
Company is in default of certain sinking fund and interest payments
on both subordinated convertible debentures totaling $8,163,000 and
$8,472,000 in principal plus accrued and unpaid interest of
$25,744,000 and $25,032,000 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

Subordinated Convertible
Debentures Payable (continued):
The
debentures are not collateralized and are not subordinate to each
other, but are subordinate to senior indebtedness ($1,198,000 at
December 31, 2018 and 2017). Payment of dividends on the
Company’s common stock is restricted under the terms of the
two indentures pursuant to which the outstanding debentures are
issued.
In
order to maximize the amounts realized for the debt holders, the
Company has been and intends to continue to seek buyers for the
remaining landholdings. No assurances are offered regarding the
timing of or the values to be realized from future land
sales.
9.
Convertible Debentures
Payable:
In May
2008, LIC purchased $703,000 in principal amount of the
Company’s convertible debentures from the previous debenture
holder. The balance of the outstanding convertible debentures in
the amount of $797,000, were held by Love-1989. The debentures held
by Love-1989 and LIC were secured by a second mortgage behind PGIP
on the 366 acres retained by the Company and a security interest
behind that held by PGIP in the restricted proceeds escrow. The
total debentures balance of $1,500,000 carried a maturity date of
July 8, 1997 and were in default as of December 31, 2015 and paid
off in 2016. Interest on the debentures accrued at the rate of
fourteen percent compounded quarterly. The Company’s primary
lender credit agreements prohibit the payment of interest until
such time as the primary lender loans are repaid. The convertible
debentures and a portion of the accrued interest were paid in
2016.
The
remaining accrued interest is $52,915,000 as of December 31, 2018
and 2017.

Capital Stock:
Effective December
31, 2016, L-PGI liquidated and assigned the 2,260,706 shares of
common stock of the Company and 1,875,000 shares of preferred stock
of the Company, that were held by L-PGI to LIC, in conjunction with
settling its remaining indebtedness. LIC was the general partner of
L-PGI and is owned, directly or indirectly, by Andrew S. Love and
Laurence A. Schiffer, which are the directors and executive
officers of the Company.
In
March 1987, the Company sold, in a private placement, 1,875,000
shares of its Class A cumulative convertible preferred stock to
L-PGI for a purchase price of $7,500,000 cash ($4.00 per share).
The Company also converted $500,000 of indebtedness owed to a
corporation owned by the Company’s former Chairman of the
Board of Directors and members of his family into 125,000 shares of
the cumulative convertible preferred stock.
The
holders of the preferred stock are entitled to one vote per share
and, except as provided by law, will vote as one class with the
holders of the common stock. Class A preferred stockholders are
also entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of
$.32 per share, an effective yield of 8%. Dividends accrued for an
initial two year period and, at the expiration of this period,
preferred stockholders had the option of receiving accumulated
dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, in cash
(unless prohibited by law or contract) or common stock. At December
31, 2018 cumulative preferred dividends in arrears totaled
$15,155,000 ($640,000 of which related to the year ended December
31, 2018). On May 15, 1997 preferred dividends accrued through
April 25, 1995 totaling $4,260,000 were paid in the form of
2,000,203 shares of common stock.
As of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, the preferred stock is callable or
redeemable at the option of the Company at $4.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, the preferred stock will
be entitled to preference of $4.00 per share plus accrued and
unpaid dividends in the event of liquidation of the
Company.
At
December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had reserved 3,756,000
common shares for the conversion of preferred stock.

Related Party Transactions (continued):
The
Company has a Management Consulting Agreement with LREC. As a
consultant to the Company and in addition to the above services,
LREC provides other services including, but not limited to,
strategic planning, marketing and financing as requested by the
Company. In consideration for these consulting services, the
Company pays LREC a quarterly consulting fee of one-tenth of one
percent of the carrying value of the Company’s assets, plus
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. As of December 31, 2018 and
2017, the carrying value of the Company’s assets was
approximately $553,000 and $788,000 respectively. Consulting fees
were $3,000 and $4,000 in 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of both
December 31, 2018 and 2017, a total of $1,000 of unpaid fees had
accrued under this agreement.
During
2017, the Company invested in a short-term note receivable of
$560,000 with LIC, bearing interest of 4.5% per annum with an
original maturity of December 31, 2017, which was extended one year
through December 31, 2018. The interest receivable on the related
party note receivable was $13,000 at December 31, 2017. The Company
received payment of the outstanding note receivable from LIC in
March 2018 of $578,000, including the note receivable balance of
$560,000 and accrued interest receivable of $18,000.

family made an uncollateralized loan to the Company, which at
December 31, 2018 and 2017 had an outstanding principal balance of
$176,000 plus accrued interest of $464,000 and $452,000, totaling
an outstanding balance of $640,000 and $628,000, respectively.
Interest accrued on this loan was $12,000 and $11,000 in 2018 and
2017, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instrument for which it is
practicable to estimate that value:
Cash:
The
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
Receivables:
The
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term
maturity of those receivables.
Accounts
Payable:
The
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term
maturity of those debts.
Debt:
It was
not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s
notes payable and its subordinated convertible debentures because
these debts are in default causing no basis for estimating value by
reference to quoted market prices or current rates offered to the
Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.
The
estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments

Item 9. Changes in
and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
As
disclosed in Form 8-K filed December 6, 2018, the Company received
confirmation on November 30, 2018 that BKD LLP (“BKD”),
the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm,
declined to stand for re-engagement effective on the date in 2019
that the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal
year ended December 31, 2018 (“Fiscal 2018”). There
were no disagreements with BKD on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure. The Board of Directors of the Company
is in the process of conducting a search to determine the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for
the period subsequent to the Company’s Fiscal 2018.
.
Item 9A. Controls
and Procedures
The
Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) under the supervision and with the participation of the
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”) of the Company. Based on this
evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December
31, 2018. There have been no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting during the
Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Management of PGI
Incorporated (the “Company”) is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the
Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
32
Item 9A. Controls
and Procedures (continued)
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal
control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations, including the possibility of human error and the
circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even an
effective system of internal control over financial reporting can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management has
assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the
framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework. Based on that assessment, management concludes that, as
of December 31, 2018, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting is effective.

Executive officers
of the Company are appointed annually by the Board of Directors to
hold office until their successors are appointed and
qualify.
The
directors of the Company have determined that the Company does not
have an audit committee financial expert serving on its board of
directors (which acts as the Company’s audit committee). In
addition, the Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies
to its principal executive officer and principal financial officer
(principal accounting officer). The Company’s decision not to
adopt a code of ethics or to have an audit committee financial
expert are primarily attributable to the following reasons: (i) as
a result of its continuing financial difficulties due to amounts
owed on its debt, the Company is focused almost exclusively on the
disposition of its remaining real estate; (ii) as described in Item
5, there have been no reported transactions in the Company’s
Common Stock since January 29, 1991, other than the odd lot tender
offer in 2003, the assignment of the 2,260,706 shares of Company
Common Stock by L-PGI to LIC in 2016, and the 2017 quotations;
(iii) the board of directors of the Company consists of only two
directors and these two directors are also the only executive
officers of the Company; and (iv) the same person serves as the
Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial
officer.
34
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
The
Company was not furnished any Forms 3, 4 or 5, or any amendments
thereto, during our most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, the
Company is not aware of any officer, director or beneficial owner
of more than 10 percent of the Company’s registered
securities that failed to file on a timely basis Forms 3, 4 and 5
required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, during fiscal year ended 2018.
Item 11. Executive
Compensation
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
is Mr. Laurence A. Schiffer. Because of the Company’s
impaired financial condition, it does not compensate in any manner
Mr. Schiffer or Mr. Love, the Company’s only other executive
officer, for the services they perform for the Company in that
capacity or in their capacity as directors of the Company.
Management services are provided to the Company by Love Real Estate
Company (“LREC”), which is an affiliate of Love
Investment Company, pursuant to that certain Management Consulting
Agreement by and between the Company and LREC dated March 25, 1987
(the “Management Agreement”). Mr. Schiffer and Mr. Love
are employees of, and receive an annual salary from LREC. Neither
the Company nor LREC maintains records, which would allow either of
them to attribute any portion of the remuneration Mr. Schiffer
receives from LREC to the management services he performs for the
Company. See Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related
Party Transactions, and Director Independence” for additional
information about the Management Agreement.
Neither
Mr. Schiffer nor Mr. Love received fees from any source directly
attributable to their services as directors of the Company during
2018.
Item 12. Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related
Stockholder Matters
The
table below provides certain information as of February 25, 2019
regarding the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock and the
Class A cumulative convertible preferred stock (the
“Preferred Stock”) by each person known by the Company
to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of either the
Common Stock or the Preferred Stock, each director of the Company
(which persons are also the Company’s only executive
officers), and by virtue of the foregoing, the directors and
executive officers of the Company as a group.

As of
December 31, 2018, the Company did not have a compensation plan or
individual compensation arrangement under which its equity

Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
Independence
The
Company’s primary preferred shareholder is LIC which is
primarily owned and managed by Andrew S. Love and Laurence A.
Schiffer. Messrs. Love and Schiffer serve as the executive officers
and directors of the Company. See also Note 14 to the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
36
In May
2008, LIC purchased $703,000 in principal amount of the
Company’s convertible debentures from the previous debenture
holder. The balance of the outstanding convertible debentures in
the amount of $797,000, were held by Love-1989. The debentures held
by Love-1989 and LIC were secured by a second mortgage behind PGIP
on the 366 acres retained by the Company and a security interest
behind that held by PGIP in the restricted proceeds escrow. The
total debentures balance of $1,500,000 carried a maturity date of
July 8, 1997 and were in default as of December 31, 2015 and paid
off in 2016. Interest on the debentures accrued at the rate of
fourteen percent compounded quarterly. The Company’s primary
lender credit agreements prohibit the payment of interest until
such time as the primary lender loans are repaid. The convertible
debentures and a portion of the accrued interest were paid in
2016.
The
remaining accrued interest is $52,915,000 as of December 31, 2018
and 2017.
PGIP is
owned and managed by Hallmark Investment Corporation. Messrs. Love
and Schiffer are directors and executive officers of HIC and own
90% of all the issued and outstanding voting stock of
HIC.
The
Company maintains its administration and accounting offices with
the offices of LREC in St. Louis, Missouri. LREC, a Missouri
Corporation, is owned by LIC, and is located at 212 South Central
Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63105. A fee of $2,800 per month was
accrued in 2018 and 2017 and the Company made payments of $33,600
to LREC in 2018 and 2017, for the services described in the next
paragraph. There were no accrued accounting service fees as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017.
The
following is a list of services provided by LREC during
2018:
1.
Maintain books of
original entry;
2.
Prepare quarterly
and annual SEC filings;
3.
Coordinate the
annual audit;
4.
Assemble
information for tax filing, review reports as prepared by tax
accountants and file same;
5.
Track shareholder
records through transfer agent;
6.
Maintain policies
of insurance against property and liability exposure;
7.
Handle day-to-day
accounting requirements; and
8.
Provide telephone
and computer service.
37
Although an amount
is paid to LREC as reimbursement for expenses and as a fee for
providing management services to the Company, neither the Company
nor LREC maintain records which would allow them to attribute any
portion of the aforementioned monthly fee to reimbursement of
particular expenses or to payment for the management services
performed for the Company by individual employees of LREC,
including Messrs. Love and Schiffer.
The
Company has a Management Agreement with LREC. As a consultant to
the Company and in addition to the above services, LREC provides
other services including, but not limited to, strategic planning,
marketing, and financing as requested by the Company. In
consideration for these consulting services, the Company pays LREC
a quarterly consulting fee of one-tenth of one percent of the book
value of the Company’s assets, plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the book value of the
Company’s assets was $553,000 and $788,000. Consulting fees
were $3,000 and 4,000 in 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of
December 31, 2018 and 2017, a total of $1,000 of unpaid fees had
accrued under the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement
will continue in effect until terminated upon 90 days prior written
notice by a majority vote of the Company’s
directors.
Mr.
Schiffer and Mr. Love receive a salary from LREC, such salary
compensates them for their services to LREC, which provides
consulting services for numerous other entities affiliated with the
Company, and none of the amount earned by LREC under the Management
Agreement is intended to be allocated or attributable to any
officer or employee, including Mr. Schiffer, of LREC. No part of
Mr. Schiffer’s annual salary from LREC is directly
attributable to the management services he performs for the Company
as an employee of LREC pursuant to the Management
Agreement.
During
2017, the Company invested in a short-term note receivable of
$560,000 with LIC, bearing interest of 4.5% per annum with an
original maturity of December 31, 2017, which was extended one year
through December 31, 2018. The interest receivable on the related
party note receivable was $13,000 at December 31, 2017. The Company
received payment of the outstanding note receivable from LIC in
March 2018 of $578,000, including the note receivable balance of
$560,000 and accrued interest receivable of $18,000.
The
Company believes that the affiliated transactions are on terms
comparable to those which would be obtained from unaffiliated
persons.
Neither
of the two directors of the Company is independent pursuant to the
definition of “independent director” set forth in the
NYSE American Company Guide because both of them are executive
officers of the Company. The Company does not have a separate
designated audit, compensation or nominating committee or committee
performing similar functions.
