Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PGI Incorporated (“PGI”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10 - Q and therefore do not include all disclosures necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, as they have for many years.

The Company 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.
