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.
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, Sugarmill Woods, Inc. (“Sugarmill Woods”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sold its largest parcel of real estate, approximately 369 acres located in Hernando County, Florida (“the Property”), to the State of Florida Department of Transportation (“Florida DOT”). The Property was encumbered by secured creditor claims, and the sale of the Property closed on June 21, 2016 for $9,000,000. The Florida DOT acquired the Property in connection with the northward extension of the Suncoast Parkway as part of the Suncoast Parkway, Project 2. On November 29, 2016 Sugarmill Woods sold a small parcel of land in Citrus County, Florida for a nominal amount.
 
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, 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.
 
The proceeds from the sale of the Property of $9,000,000 were received on June 23, 2016 and payment of the primary lender debt totaling $500,000, in principal, and all accrued interest related to such debt totaling $470,000, was made to PGIP LLC (“PGIP”), the holder of the first mortgage note and an affiliate of the Company. In addition, on June 23, 2016, the remaining principal of the collateralized convertible debentures totaling $1,500,000, and a portion of the accrued interest related to such debentures totaling $5,455,000, was paid to the holders of such debentures. Love Investment Company (“LIC”), and Love-1989 Florida Partners, LP (“Love-1989”), each affiliates of Love-PGI Partners, L.P. (“L-PGI), held such collateralized convertible debentures. Prior to December 31, 2016, L-PGI was the Company’s primary preferred stock shareholder. 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.

The Company continues its efforts to dispose of all of its real estate.

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, 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 L-PGI to LIC effective December 31, 2016 as described under Item 1.

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 May1, 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, 2017, to the Company’s knowledge, there were 552 holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock and 418 debenture holders.

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 on-going costs of operation of the Company. With the June 2016 sale of 369 acres to the Florida DOT for $9,000,000, and the sale of the small land parcel in Citrus County, Florida in November 2016, 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, 2017 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, with the June 2016 land parcel sale, the remaining 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 proceeds of the June 2016 property sale were utilized to repay the entire principal of the first mortgage note and related interest accrued thereto, and with respect to the collateralized convertible debentures, to repay the entire principal and a portion of the accrued interest related thereto as follows:

In addition to the convertible subordinated debentures noted above, 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 $1,034,000 and (ii) its 6.0% subordinated convertible debentures which matured in May, 1992, with a remaining face amount of $8,025,000.

Item 7.            
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
 
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 $41,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which is available for final distribution to remaining holders of such debentures who surrender their respective debenture certificates.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 there were no 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures that were surrendered by their respective debenture holders and no funds were utilized from the debenture reserve account.
 
The 6.5% Subordinated convertible debenture balances 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.
 
The cumulative amount due for the 6.5% and 6% subordinated convertible debentures as of December 31, 2017 is as follows:

Item 7. 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
 
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 at least a portion of such claims (especially those with respect to the 6.5% subordinated convertible debentures which matured on June 1, 1991) are 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, 2017 totaled approximately $67,793,000.
 
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, 2017, the Stockholders’ Deficiency of the Company was $90,260,000.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
 
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $8,994,000 to $15,000 compared to revenues of $9,009,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of the sale, by Sugarmill Woods, of the Property to the Florida DOT on June 21, 2016 for $9,000,000, and the sale of a small parcel of land on November 29, 2016 for $5,000. There were no sales of real estate in 2017.
 
Interest income totaled $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to interest income of $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Related party interest income increased by $11,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017 to $13,000 from $2,000 for the comparable period in 2016. The related party interest income for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a 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 on March 6, 2018. The Company received payment of the previous note receivable from LIC on June 23, 2016. Interest income of $2,000, represents interest earned on the Company’s money market account during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The cost of real estate sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $747,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, solely as a result of costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sales of real estate on June 21, 2016 and November 29, 2016. There was no such expense for the comparable period in 2017 because there were no sales of real estate during such period.
 
Interest expense relating to the Company’s current outstanding debt held by non-related parties, increased by $36,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of interest accruing on past due balances which increased at various intervals throughout the year for accrued but unpaid interest.
 
Interest expense-related party decreased by $3,832,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016. Proceeds from the June 2016 Property sale was used by the Company to repay the outstanding principal of the primary lender debt of the $500,000 first mortgage note, which was held by PGIP, and the $1,500,000 collateralized convertible debenture principal, which was held by LIC and Love-1989. With the repayment of such principal, no additional interest expense was accrued with respect to such collateralized debt subsequent to June 23, 2016.

Item 7.      
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
 
Taxes and assessments decreased by $1,000 in 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of lower real estate tax expense due primarily to the sale of the Property sold to the Florida DOT on June 21, 2016.
 
Consulting and accounting expense was $37,000 and $38,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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. In addition, accounting service fees of $33,600 were paid to LREC in 2017 and 2016.
 
Legal and professional expenses decreased by $56,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016. Additional legal expenses were incurred in 2016 in connection with the evaluation of the Company’s business alternatives. Other professional expenses of $18,000 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2017 relating to environmental remediation services incurred for a parcel in Citrus County, Florida.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $8,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in tax fees for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $11,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. In addition, insurance expense decreased by $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the sale of the Property on June 23, 2016. There was also a decrease in general administrative expenses of $1,000 as a result of lower stock transfer agent fees relating to common stock for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016.
 
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.
 
 A net loss of $1,566,000 ($.41 per share loss) was incurred for the year ended December 31, 2017. This compared to net income of $2,892,000 ($.42 per share-basic) realized for the year ended December 31, 2016, which included a gain of $8,258,000 from sales of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2016. Included in the 2017 and 2016 income and loss per share computation is $640,000 ($.12 per share of Common Stock) of annual cumulative preferred stock dividends in arrears.

Cash received from operations during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $2,000, which represents interest income earned on the Company’s money market account. Cash received from operations in the year ended December 31, 2016 was $9,009,000, which represented $9,005,000 received from real estate sales, $2,000 in interest income earned on the Company’s money market account and $2,000 in related party interest payments received from the Company’s note receivable with LIC.
 
Cash expended for operations during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $241,000, which represents a decrease of $5,994,000 compared to cash expended for operations of $6,235,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease primarily is a result of payments of $5,925,000 for accrued related party interest paid on collateralized debt and payments of $122,000 for costs of real estate sales in the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Related party receivables increased by $573,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, due to two short-term notes receivable with LIC of $560,000 and accrued interest receivable of $13,000. The short-term loans to LIC bears interest at 4.5% per annum with an original maturity date of December 31, 2017; however, extended to December 31, 2018. The short-term notes receivable were subsequently paid in full during March, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2016 investing activities provided $183,000 of cash, which primarily consisted of $178,000 of net principal repayments of the Company’s short-term note with LIC, in addition to restricted cash of $5,000 from PGIP, the first mortgage lender, which was released upon the sale of property and satisfaction of the primary lender debt obligation owed to PGIP.

Item 7.    
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
 
Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2,000,000 for principal repayments consisting of $500,000 in primary lender debt paid to PGIP and $1,500,000 in collateralized convertible debentures paid to LIC and Love-1989. There were no financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
Related party receivables increased by $573,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the short-term note receivable with LIC of $560,000 and accrued interest receivable of $13,000. The short-term loan to LIC bears interest at 4.5% per annum. The Company received payment of the outstanding note receivable on March 6, 2018.
 
Liabilities were $91,048,000 at December 31, 2017 compared to $89,708,000 at December 31, 2016, reflecting the following changes:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
 
There was an increase of $1,361,000 of accrued interest relating to the Company’s outstanding debt during the year ended December 31, 2017. 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.
 
The Company’s stockholders’ deficiency increased to $90,260,000 at December 31, 2017 from a $88,694,000 stockholders’ deficiency at December 31, 2016, reflecting the 2017 operating loss of $1,566,000.

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, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, 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, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PGI INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
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 on-going costs of operation of the Company. The potential values of the land parcels held for sale has been difficult to assess. With the 2016 sale of 369 acres to the Florida DOT for $9,000,000, the remaining land inventory are 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, with the 2016 land parcel sale, the remaining 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.

PGI INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (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
 
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 servies. We anticipate adopting this standard using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have a material 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.

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. Interest on the debentures accrued at the rate of fourteen percent compounded quarterly.

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 debt with its primary lender, its notes payable and its 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.

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, 2017. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017 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.
 
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.

Item 9A.    
Controls and Procedures (continued)
 
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, 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, 2017, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Item 10. 
Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance.
 
The following information, regarding executive officers and directors of the Company, is as of March 23, 2018.
 
Name and Age
 
Position with Company and Business Experience During the Last Five Years
 
 
 
Laurence A. Schiffer
(age 78)
 
Director of the Company since April 1987; President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company since February 1994; Vice Chairman of the Board since May 1987; President and Chief Executive Officer of Love Real Estate Company and Love Investment Company since 1973; Manager of PGIP since 1995; member of the Real Estate Board of Metropolitan St. Louis and the National Association of Real Estate Boards.
 
 
 
Andrew S. Love
(age 74)
 
 
Director and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors since May 1987; Secretary since February 1994; Chairman of the Board of Love Real Estate Company and Secretary of Love Investment Company since 1973; Partner in St. Louis based law firm of Bryan, Cave, McPheeters & McRoberts until 1991; Manager of PGIP since 1995.
 
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 and the assignment of the 2,260,706 shares of Company Common Stock by L-PGI to LIC in 2016; (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.

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 2017.
 
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 2017.
 
Item 12.

The table below provides certain information as of March 23, 2018 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.

Item 13.      
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
 
The outstanding principal of the primary lender debt of $500,000 and all accrued interest totaling $470,000 was paid to PGIP, the holder of the first mortgage note and an affiliate of the Company on June 23, 2016, upon receipt of proceeds from the sale of the Property to the Florida DOT. The primary lender debt was secured by substantially all of the Company’s real estate. PGIP became the primary lender in March 1996, with the assignment by First Union, the Company’s former primary bank lender, of all its right, title and interest in and to the loan documents. PGIP is 100% owned by Hallmark Investment Corporation (“HIC”). Messrs. Love and Schiffer own approximately 90% of all the issued and outstanding voting stock of HIC and serve as the directors and officers of HIC. HIC along with Messrs. Love and Schiffer are the managers of PGIP. See also Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 
37
 
 
The restricted proceeds escrow of $5,000 associated with the primary lender debt with PGIP was released on June 28, 2016, subsequent to the sale of the Property and satisfaction of the primary lender debt obligation owed to PGIP. The respective escrow agreement permits funds to be paid (i) as requested by PGI and agreed to by PGIP, or (ii) as deemed necessary and appropriate by PGIP to protect its interest in the remaining real estate, including its right to receive principal and interest payments on the indebtedness, or (iii) to PGIP to pay any other obligations owed to PGIP by the Company.
 
In 1989, the Company sold an aggregate $2,282,451 principal amount of the Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”) in a private placement to Love-1989 Florida Partners, L.P. (“Love-1989”). The controlling general partner of Love-1989 is Love Investment Company (“LIC”), which is owned by Mr. Love, Love family members and trusts and Mr. Schiffer. The above purchase by Love-1989 of the Debentures was funded in part with a loan from L-PGI. Love-1989 repaid the debt to L-PGI in full, in part by transferring a portion of the Debentures held by Love-1989 to L-PGI. In July 1992, as partial consideration for the Company’s conveyance of 350 acres of property to L-PGI, the Company retired $782,451 in principal amount of the Debentures held by L-PGI together with $389,000 in accrued interest. The maturity date on all of the remaining Debentures was extended to July 8, 1997.
 
The Debentures were in part collateralized by a second mortgage in favor of Love-1989 on 650 acres of the property owned by the Company, which was sold in May 1998. The 350 acres transferred to L-PGI as described above were also included in the property sold. Messrs. Love and Schiffer caused the Company to grant a second mortgage on the remaining 366 acre parcel of property located in Hernando County, Florida to Love-1989 and in their capacities as control persons of Love-1989, they caused Love-1989 to release its second mortgage on the 650 acres of the property sold and they caused the Company to grant a security interest to the Debenture holders (including, without limitation, Love-1989) behind that held by PGIP in the restricted proceeds escrow which is under the control of Messrs. Love and Schiffer since they and a company they control are the managers of PGIP.
 
In May 2008, LIC purchased $703,050 in principal amount of Debentures from the previous debenture holder. The total of $1,500,000 of Debentures have carried a maturity date of July 8, 1997 and interest on the Debentures has accrued at the rate of fourteen percent compounded quarterly.
 
On June 23, 2016, the remaining principal of collateralized convertible debentures totaling $1,500,000 and a portion of the accrued interest related to such debentures totaling $5,455,000 was paid to the current holders of such debentures, LIC, and Love-1989, each affiliates of L-PGI. There was no interest expense with respect to such collateralized debt subsequent to June 23, 2016. See Note 9 and Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.
 
The Company maintains its administration and accounting offices with the offices of LREC in St. Louis, Missouri. LREC, a Missouri Corporation, is owned by Mr. Love and Mr. Schiffer, and is located at 212 South Central Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63105. A fee of $2,800 per month was accrued in 2017 and 2016 and the Company made payments of $33,600 to LREC in 2017 and 2016, for the services described in the next paragraph. There were no accrued accounting service fees as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
 
The following is a list of services provided by LREC during 2017:
 
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.
 
 
39
 
 
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.
 
Effective as of March 25, 1987, the Company entered into the 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, 2017 and 2016, the book value of the Company’s assets was $788,000 and $1,014,000. Consulting fees accrued and paid were $4,000 in both 2017 and 2016. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.
 
The Company invested in a short-term note receivable of $560,000 with LIC during 2017, bearing interest at 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 is $13,000 at December 31, 2017. The Company received payment of the outstanding note receivable in March, 2018.
 
The Company received payments of $178,000 for an outstanding note receivable balance from LIC during the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest income on this note receivable was $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
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 Amex Equities’ 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.
