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.

Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
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.
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 7.
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 $270,000.
The 6.5% subordinated convertible debenture balances for the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
2019 2018
($ in thousands)
Original face value $1,034 $1,034
Outstanding debenture principal balance 138 138
Face value of debentures surrendered
- 22
Face value of debentures escheated - 287
Accrued and unpaid interest balance 279 270
Debenture reserve account balance 13 13
Debenture reserve funds utilized
in payment of final distribution - 2
Debenture reserve funds utilized
in escheatment to states of debenture holders - 26
Forgiveness of debt - 281
Forgiveness of interest - 594
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.

Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (continued)
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 $8,025,000.
The cumulative amount due for the 6.5% and 6% subordinated convertible
debentures as of December 31, 2019 is as follows:
Principal Unpaid
Amount Due Interest
($ in thousands)
6.5% Subordinated debentures due June 1, 1991 $138 $279
6% Subordinated debentures due May 1, 1992 8,025 26,791
$8,163 $27,070
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.
Costs and Expenses
Costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $829,000

2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of
interest accruing on past due balances which increased at various intervals
throughout the year for accrued but unpaid interest.

Item 7.
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

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.

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 year ended December 31, 2018 was $20,000, which

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

Item 7.
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.

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.
