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 $59,000.
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 Payable (continued):
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.

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.
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
2016..
The
remaining accrued interest is $52,915,000 as of December 31, 2019
and 2018.

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.
There
were no significant transactions in the fourth quarter of
2019.

Commitments and Contingencies:
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.

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, 2019 and
2018, the carrying value of the Company’s assets was
approximately $336,000 and $553,000 respectively. Consulting fees

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
