Business
GENERAL
As used
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the “Company” or
“PGI” 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 30
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.
QUALIFICATION
AS INACTIVE REGISTRANT FOR SEC PURPOSES
In early 2019, the Board of
Directors of PGI concluded that PGI met and continues to meet all
of the conditions under which a registrant may be deemed an
“Inactive Entity” as that term is defined or
contemplated in Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X and as the term
“Inactive Registrant” is further contemplated in the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation
Finance’s Financial Reporting Manual section 1320.2. Under
Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X, the financial statements required
thereunder with respect to an Inactive Registrant for purposes of
reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including
but not limited to annual reports on Form 10-K, may be unaudited. A
representative of PGI informally discussed its view that PGI is an
Inactive Registrant with a staff member of the Chief
Accountant’s Office in the Division of Corporation Finance in
February 2019.
As an
Inactive Registrant, PGI currently intends to continue to timely
file Annual Reports on Forms 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), including this Form 10-K, as
well as Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and any other required
reports. PGI currently intends to include in such Annual Reports
all annual consolidated financial statements required to be
included therein pursuant to Regulation S-X. However, PGI will
include annual consolidated financial statements that have been
reviewed by a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(“PCAOB”) registered public accounting firm rather than
audited.
3
Item
1.
Business (continued)
PGI has
engaged Milhouse & Neal to be the PCAOB registered public
accounting firm that has reviewed its annual consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and its
quarterly consolidated financial statements included in its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for its fiscal quarters ended
March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. PGI currently
intends to include reviewed consolidated financial statements in
its Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K that it currently intends to file for
its applicable fiscal periods hereafter.
PGI
meets all of the conditions in Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X for an
“Inactive Registrant” which are:
(a)
Gross receipts not
in excess of $100,000;
(b)
Not purchasing or
selling any of its own stock or granted options
therefor;
(c)
Expenditures for
all purposes not in excess of $100,000;
(d)
No material change
in the business has occurred during the fiscal year;
(e)
No securities
exchange or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
entity requires the entity to furnish audited financial
statements.
As the
Company reviews its circumstances, it has met the conditions as an
Inactive Registrant since 2017.
The
Company, formerly a Florida residential developer, is dormant with
less than 70 acres of remaining landholdings, much of which has
little value due to various restrictions. The Company’s
consolidated financial statements show it has a Stockholders’
Deficiency of $92.6 million as of December 31, 2019. BKD, the
Company’s PCAOB registered public accounting firm until the
date the Company filed its Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018 which was
February 25, 2019, expressed a “going concern” opinion
with respect to the Company for its Fiscal 2018 financial
statements and had expressed such opinions for many years
previously. PGI has had no trading of its securities in many years.
Any future real estate transactions by the Company will be limited,
uncertain as to timing and as to value. Ultimately, PGI expects
that proceeds from sales of its remaining real estate, if any, will
provide some minimal recoveries for PGI’s senior debtholders.
PGI has been an SEC registrant for over 40 years.
As an
Inactive Registrant, PGI currently intends to continue to provide
comprehensive updates through its SEC filings.

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.

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

subordinated convertible debentures were issued and by the terms of
the Company’s preferred stock. As of December 31, 2019, to
the Company’s knowledge, there were 548 holders of record of
the Company’s Common Stock and 347 debenture

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, 2019 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.
In
early 2019, the Board of Directors of PGI concluded that PGI met
and continues to meet all of the conditions under which a
registrant may be deemed an “Inactive Entity” as that
term is defined or contemplated in Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X and
as the term “Inactive Registrant” is further
contemplated in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
Division of Corporation Finance’s Financial Reporting Manual
section 1320.2. Under Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X, the financial
statements required thereunder with respect to an Inactive
Registrant for purposes of reports pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, including but not limited to annual reports
on Form 10-K, may be unaudited. A representative of PGI informally
discussed its view that PGI is an Inactive Registrant with a staff
member of the Chief Accountant’s Office in the Division of
Corporation Finance in February 2019.
As an
Inactive Registrant, PGI currently intends to continue to timely
file Annual Reports on Forms 10-K with the SEC, including this Form
10-K, as well as Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and any other
required reports. PGI currently intends to include in such Annual
Reports all annual consolidated financial statements required to be
included therein pursuant to Regulation S-X. However, PGI will
include annual consolidated financial statements that have been
reviewed by a PCAOB registered public accounting firm rather than
audited. PGI has engaged Milhouse & Neal to be the PCAOB
registered public accounting firm that has reviewed its annual
consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K and its quarterly consolidated financial statements
included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed for its fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30,
2019. PGI currently intends to include reviewed consolidated
financial statements in its Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K that it
currently intends to file for its applicable fiscal periods
hereafter.

PGI has been an SEC registrant for over 40 years.
As an

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 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
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.

Item

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no 6.5% subordinated
convertible debentures that were surrendered or escheated by their
respective debenture holders and no funds were utilized from the
debenture reserve account. 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.
As of
December 31, 2019, 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 $279,000. The outstanding principal
on such respective debentures as of December 31, 2018 was $138,000
plus accrued and unpaid interest of $270,000.
The
6.5% subordinated convertible debenture balances for the years
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

If and
when such remaining debentures are surrendered to the Trustee, or
escheated to the states of residence of the respective debenture
holders, the applicable portion of such principal and accrued
interest will similarly be recorded as debt and accrued 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

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.
The
cumulative amount due for the 6.5% and 6% subordinated convertible
debentures as of December 31, 2019 is as follows:

|
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, 2019 totaled approximately
$68,966,000.
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, 2019, the Stockholders’
Deficiency of the Company was $92,564,000.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Revenues for the
year ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $3,000 to $4,000 compared
to revenues of $7,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018,
primarily as a result of a decrease in related party interest
income. The related party interest income for the year ended
December 31, 2018 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. Interest income on the Company’s money
market account decreased by $1,000 during the year ended December
31, 2019 from the comparable period in 2018 due to the declining
account balance. Other income of $3,000, received during the year
ended December 31, 2019 represents a recovery of a lot lien
receivable recorded in 1999 which has been fully provided for
cancellation. There was no other income during the year ended
December 31, 2018.

relating to the Company’s current outstanding debt held by

which increased at various intervals throughout the year for

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
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 2019 and no funds were
utilized from the debenture reserve account.
Taxes
and assessments were $5,000 during the years ended December 31,
2019 and 2018.
Consulting and
accounting expense was $35,000 and $36,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A quarterly consulting
fee is paid to Love Real Estate Company (“LREC”), an
affiliate of LIC, of one-tenth of one percent of the carrying value
of the Company’s assets, which decreased in 2019 compared to
2018. In addition, accounting service fees of $33,600 were paid to
LREC in 2019 and 2018.
Legal
and professional expenses decreased by $30,000 during the year
ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018 as

and Results of Operations (continued)
General
and administrative expenses decreased by $39,000 during the year
ended December 31, 2019, compared to the year ended December 31,
2018, primarily as a result of a $30,000 decrease in fees relating
to the filing of the Company’s periodic reports in 2019 as an
inactive registrant and a decrease of $9,000 in the 6% subordinated
convertible debenture fees in 2019.
The net
loss was $1,568,000 ($.42 per share loss) for the year ended
December 31, 2019 compared to a net loss of $736,000 ($.26 per
share loss) for the year ended December 31, 2018. Included in the
2019 and 2018 loss per share computation is $640,000 ($.12 per
share of Common Stock) of annual cumulative preferred stock
dividends in arrears.

consists of cash received from operations less cash expended for

in interest income earned on the Company’s money
market account and $3,000 in miscellaneous income from a recovery
of a lot lien receivable recorded in 1999 which had been fully
provided for cancellation. Cash received from operations in the

in interest income earned on the Company’s money market
account and $18,000 in related party interest payments received

Cash

$221,000 which represents an increase of $8,000 compared to cash
expended for operations of $213,000 in the year ended December 31,
2018. There was an increase of $21,000 in legal and professional
expenditures which included legal expenses relating to the year
ended December 31, 2018 which were included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses as of December 31, 2018. This increase is offset
by decreases in cash expended for operations during the year ended
December 31, 2019 of $4,000 in real estate taxes paid, a decrease
of $2,000 in consulting and accounting expenditures and a decrease
of $7,000 in general and administrative expenditures related to the
filing of the Company’s periodic reports in 2019 as an
inactive registrant.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
Accrued
interest increased due to no payment of interest expense during the
year ended December 31, 2019. The accrued interest relating to
convertible subordinated debentures increased due to the additional
accrual of interest and no payment 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.
The
Company’s stockholders’ deficiency increased to
$92,564,000 at December 31, 2019 from a $90,996,000
stockholders’ deficiency at December 31, 2018, reflecting the
2019 net loss of $1,568,000.

The
Company has no Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

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.

Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of PGI Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Results of Review of Financial Information
We have
reviewed the consolidated statements of financial position of PGI
Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019
and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations and
cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency for the years then
ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
financial statements). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of
any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying
financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Basis for Review Results
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. A review of financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with standards of the PCOAB, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 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.
Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1, the Company has a significant accumulated deficit and is in
default of certain sinking fund and interest payments on its
convertible subordinated debentures and, as a result, substantial
doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and
conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are
also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. Our conclusion is not modified with respect to this
matter.

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.
2.
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.

INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(continued)
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 $59,000.
3.
Revenues:
Revenues totaled
$4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to revenues of
$7,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interest income on the
Company’s money market account decreased by $1,000 during the
year ended December 31, 2019 from the comparable period in 2018 due
to the declining account balance. There was no related party
interest income during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to
$5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 due to 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. Other income of $3,000, received during
the year ended December 31, 2019 represents a recovery of a lot
lien receivable recorded in 1999 which has been fully provided for
cancellation. There was no other revenue during the year ended
December 31, 2018.

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 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, available for distribution to holders of such
debentures who surrender their respective debenture
certificates.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no 6.5% subordinated
convertible debentures that were surrendered or escheated by their
respective debenture holders and no funds were utilized from the
debenture reserve account. 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.

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 $279,000. The outstanding principal
on such respective debentures as of December 31, 2018 was $138,000

If and

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 in
principal plus accrued and unpaid interest of $27,070,000 and
$25,744,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
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, 2019 and 2018). 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.

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. In 2016
the 366 acres were sold and the primary lender obligation to PGIP
was respectively paid, in addition to the convertible debentures
principal of $1,500,000 and a portion of the accrued interest.
Interest on the debentures accrued at the rate of fourteen percent
compounded quarterly until the principal was paid in

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, 2019 cumulative preferred dividends in arrears totaled
$15,795,000 ($640,000 of which related to the year ended December
31, 2019). 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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, the Company had reserved 3,756,000
common shares for the conversion of preferred stock.

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

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.

$176,000 plus accrued interest of $477,000 and $464,000, totaling
an outstanding balance of $653,000 and $640,000, 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
are as follows:

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”). The Form
10-K for Fiscal 2018 was filed on February 25, 2019. There were no
disagreements with BKD on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure.
In
April 2019, the Company engaged the accounting firm of Milhouse
& Neal, LLP as independent accountants for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2019.
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, 2019. There have been no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting during the
Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019 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.
36
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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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.
38
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 has any outstanding equity awards at
December 31, 2019. The Company does not have a compensation plan or
individual compensation arrangement under which its equity
securities may be issued.
Neither
Mr. Schiffer nor Mr. Love received fees from any source directly
attributable to their services as directors of the Company during
2019.

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.
40
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. In 2016
the 366 acres were sold and the primary lender obligation to PGIP
was respectively paid, in addition to the convertible debentures
principal of $1,500,000 and a portion of the accrued interest.
Interest on the debentures accrued at the rate of fourteen percent
compounded quarterly until the principal was paid in
2016.
The
remaining accrued interest is $52,915,000 as of December 31, 2019
and 2018.
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 2019 and 2018 and the Company made payments of $33,600
to LREC in 2019 and 2018, for the services described in the next
paragraph. There were no accrued accounting service fees as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The
following is a list of services provided by LREC during
2019:
1.
Maintain books of
original entry;
2.
Prepare quarterly
and annual SEC filings;
3.
Coordinate the
quarterly reviews;
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.
41
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 services listed on the previous
page, 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, 2019 and
2018, the book value of the Company’s assets was $336,000 and
$553,000. Consulting fees were $2,000 and $3,000 in 2019 and 2018,
respectively. 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 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.
