Item 1. Business - - ------- --------
GENERAL
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 offices are at 8120 South Suncoast Boulevard, Homosassa, Florida 34446 and its' executive offices are located at 515 Olive Street, Suite 1400, St. Louis, Missouri 63101, and its telephone number is (314) 982-0780.
The Company, founded in 1958, engages in the business of building and selling homes, developing and selling homesites and selling undeveloped or partially developed tracts of land.
The Company sells homes and homesites for cash. Substantially all of the real estate sold or presently offered for sale by the Company is situated within Sugarmill Woods, one of its planned communities in west central Florida. Homesites are offered for sale at an office located within Sugarmill Woods.
The Company obligated itself to develop its platted homesites by specified dates in its offering statements and property reports filed with various governmental agencies. Development of homesites includes grading, installing streets and drainage, and where applicable, water distribution systems, sewage collection and treatment systems, seawalls, waterways, common grounds or other amenities. The Company has completed the development obligations for all sold homesites. Land and improvement inventories are reported in the Company's financial statements at the lower of historical cost or estimated market value.
As of January 1, 1995 the Company employed a total of 7 persons in the capacities indicated: 6 in executive, administrative and office capacities; 1 in sales and promotional work.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview of Company Communities - - -------------------------------
Although the Company has developed several thousand lots in southwest Florida during its 37-year history, its current community development activities are located in Citrus County, Florida, in the community of Sugarmill Woods.
Sugarmill Woods is located five miles south of Homosassa Springs and 60 miles north of Tampa. The Sugarmill Woods area consists of rolling hills covered by cypress, oak and pine trees. Sugarmill Woods lies within the "Nature Coast" area which offers both fresh and salt water fishing and hunting in a state forest. There are public beaches, picnic areas and fishing and camping facilities in the immediate vicinity. Several rivers in the area provide access

Overview of Company Communities (continued) - - -------------------------------------------
to the Gulf of Mexico. Sugarmill Woods is located on U.S. 19; U.S. 98 runs diagonally through its southern portion. Single family homesites in Sugarmill Woods generally range in size from 10,000 to 24,000 square feet.
Sugarmill Woods commenced sales operations in 1974. The subdivision is platted into 20,550 homesites, and as of December 31, 1994 the Company retained ownership of approximately 4,800 acres of undeveloped land or 7,236 undeveloped lots and 740 acres of undeveloped commercial property.
In July 1992 the Company sold the remainder of its then developed Sugarmill Woods homesite inventory to its primary bank lender (the Secured Lender Transaction, see Item 7 and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8).
In April of 1994 the Company sold the remainder of its developed Southern Woods inventory to its primary lender (the Second Secured Lender Transaction, see Item 7 and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8).
All Sugarmill Woods homesites are subject to restrictive covenants, including minimum building requirements, which are designed to ensure that the homes are of high quality and well maintained. In addition to the restrictive covenants, local governmental entities have established zoning regulations which stipulate minimum allowance setbacks, square footage and lot sizes, and also require adherence to land use policies.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Although in prior years the Company has operated various amenities in support of community development activities, the Company is currently in one dominant industry segment--community development.
SALES AND MARKETING
The focus of the Company's ongoing sales operations has been and will be concentrated at its Sugarmill Woods project.
The Company in the past offered resale homesites for sale only at an on-site location. Direct mail, newspapers, magazines, radio, television and highway signboards are utilized to advertise its homesites and homes. Sales are generated by 6 independent contractors.
In mid-1990 the Company decided to concentrate on rebuilding an off-site broker network to market its Sugarmill Woods developed inventory. The Company executed non-exclusive broker agreements

SALES AND MARKETING (Continued)
with master brokers located in 16 states and one master broker with sales forces in the Netherlands, Germany, Britain, Belgium, Switzerland and France. With the sale of its developed homesite inventory, the off-site program was terminated in July 1992. The Company is continuing its marketing efforts to sell two of the undeveloped, platted Sugarmill Woods Villages comprising approximately 4,800 acres in bulk. These villages represent approximately 7,236 undeveloped lots.
HOMESITE SALES CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Historically, substantially all of the Company's homesite sales were made pursuant to agreement for deed installment sales contracts whereby the Company retained title to the homesite until the contract was paid in full. However, during mid-1990 the Company, in anticipation of requirements from the regulatory agencies, changed to selling under a deed, note and mortgage. The deed, note and mortgage program conveys title to the purchaser within 60 days from the sale date, which the Company considers to be positive from a marketing viewpoint. However, should the purchaser default on the mortgage terms it will be necessary for the Company to go through statutorily required foreclosure proceedings at a considerably greater expense than incurred in cancellation of an agreement for deed. Since the Company cannot reasonably estimate the increase in such foreclosure costs, no provision is made related to these sales. The Company does not conduct a credit investigation of its purchasers because homesite purchasers have no personal liability and the Company is not entitled to a personal or deficiency judgment against the purchaser.
While engaged in installment sales, the Company offered lots for sale to residents of the United States for a 10% down-payment, 10% interest, principal and interest payable over 10 years. Sales to residents of foreign countries require a 20% down payment, 8.5% interest payable over 10 years.
- 5 -
HOMESITE SALES CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCELLATION POLICY (Continued)
Effective January 1, 1990, the Company adopted the installment method of profit recognition for all homesite sales. The installment method defers a portion of the gross profit at point of sale and recognizes the deferred profit as principal payments on contracts are received (see Item 7 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8).
The mortgage deed currently being utilized has a 30 day grace period with notice provision for delinquent payments. Upon expiration of the 30 days the unpaid balance of the mortgage may be accelerated by the Company. Monies paid by the purchaser may be retained by the Company as liquidated damages.
With the July 1992 Secured Lender Transaction (see Item 7 and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8), the Company has sold all of its contracts receivable. The Secured Lender Transaction was without recourse. However, in prior years the Company sold or exchanged receivables on real estate sales. The receivables were sold or exchanged with recourse to the Company if a receivable becomes more than 90 to 120 days delinquent (see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8).
LAND INVENTORY
The Company believes its land inventory is adequate to support its community development activities and intends to offer for sale all or a portion of approximately 4,800 acres of its unimproved Citrus County land inventory.
- 6 -
COMPETITION
The Company's business is highly competitive. The Company competes primarily on the basis of location and quality of its homesites and homes, and the quality of related amenities. A large supply of homesites and other subdivided land in Florida and other states is being offered for sale. There are several land development companies, some of which have greater sales and financial resources than the Company, operating in the same counties as the Company. In the sale of homes, the Company competes with many local builders and contractors and with several major building companies, some of which have greater sales and financial resources than the Company.
Adverse market conditions resulting from general or local economic conditions, increased raw material and labor costs, increased interest rates, over-building, increased regulation and the availability of acceptable mortgage financing, all of which are beyond the control of the Company, may individually or collectively have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company plans, engineers and oversees the development of its communities. With the completion of its Sugarmill Woods Oak Village subdivision in 1989, the Company has no remaining contractual development obligations other than maintenance obligations until roads are accepted by local governmental entities.
REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
In the Company's projects, the nature and extent of improvements, zoning and related matters are subject to the approval of and regulation by various governmental bodies, including city, county, regional and other regulatory agencies of the State of Florida and the Federal government. Sales activities are regulated not only by the State of Florida and the Federal government, but also by the states in which sales are made or solicited.
Prior to obtaining approval of plats for recording in a county (a prerequisite to the sale of homesites), the Company must either complete various improvements or post a bond with the appropriate regulatory agency to ensure their completion.
Additionally, the Company has been required to post cash bonds and at December 31, 1994 approximately $784,000 was held in escrow to collateralize bonds executed by the Company in favor of various Florida counties, the State of Florida and certain other states. The cash bonds are required in connection with obtaining approvals to sell homesites and maintaining water quality in certain waterways constructed by the Company.
- 7 -
REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (Continued)
In connection with the sale of Florida real estate, the State of Florida Division of Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes, ("Division") requires all sales contract documents, all sales literature and accompanying data to be filed with it. Also, the real estate itself must be qualified for sale by the Division. All of the Company's promotional material and all of its subdivisions presently being offered for sale and requiring registration have been so qualified.
In addition to Florida, certain states impose additional or different requirements. These requirements include inspection of properties by appropriate authorities, approval of sales literature, disclosures to purchasers of specified information, assurances of future improvements, approval of terms of sale and delivery to purchasers of a report describing the property. The Company presently has homesites registered for sale in Florida. The remainder of Sugarmill Woods is registered in Florida and 8 other states where registration is required. Regulation of land sales and subdivision development has become increasingly stringent. In the past the Company has limited or refrained from advertising and selling in certain states where the expense and delay associated with regulatory compliance outweigh the anticipated economic benefits.
The Company's homesite sales are also subject to Federal regulation. The Federal Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act (the "Land Sales Act") requires developers to file with the Office of Interstate Land Sales Registration a "Statement of Record", including a "Property Report" disclosing material information regarding the property offered. The Property Report must be delivered to each purchaser prior to the execution of the sales contract and the purchaser has seven days within which to rescind the contract. A purchaser may also rescind any purchase contract, or may sue to recover damages, resulting from any sale in violation of the Land Sales Act or the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (sometimes referred to as the "Truth in Lending Act"), which requires disclosures to purchasers as to finance charges and other matters in credit transactions.
The Company also is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmentally related matters and is required to obtain various permits in its development activities. Despite the Company's success in the past in obtaining necessary permits for its projects, it can be anticipated that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed upon the Company. Although the Company cannot accurately predict the impact of these requirements, they might result in time-consuming and costly compliance programs, discontinuance of certain operations and substantial expenditures for pollution and water quality control.
- 8 -
REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS (Continued)
In addition, the continued effectiveness of permits already granted is dependent upon many factors, some of which are outside the Company's control, such as changes in policies, rules and regulations, and their interpretation and application, within governmental agencies.
With the completion of the Sugarmill Woods Oak Village development work, the Company has fulfilled its contractual development obligations to its customers. The Company, however, still owns approximately 4,800 acres of platted, undeveloped property for which it may have to apply for permits in the future should its efforts to sell all or a portion of this property not be successful. If such permits are sought and are denied, the Company might not be able to develop the property as planned which could impact the property's value. However, permitting problems which would materially adversely affect the Company are not anticipated.
Many of the Federal and State regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company's activities have broad discretionary powers to enforce and interpret the statutes and regulations which they administer, including powers to: enjoin or suspend sales advertising and other sales practices; require additional disclosures in sales literature and property reports; require construction and installation of additional facilities; and revoke licenses and permits relating to the Company's business activities. The issuance of orders of suspension by one or more of such regulatory authorities simultaneously affecting all or a major portion of the Company's properties would materially adversely affect the Company's operations. In addition, the orders of one regulatory authority may conflict with those of another, thereby complicating compliance.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

Item 2.
Item 2. Properties - - ------- ----------
The Company's primary investments in properties relates to its Sugarmill Woods project. The Company generally has fee simple title to these properties, but substantially all of the Company's properties are encumbered by mortgages under either its primary lender agreement or other financing arrangements (see Item 7 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8).

Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings - - ------- -----------------
The Company is a party to a number of lawsuits incidental to the normal operation of its business.

PART II -------
Item 5.
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related - - ------- ------------------------------------------------- Stockholder Matters -------------------
The Company's Common Stock was traded on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. ("AMEX") (trading symbol--PGA) until January 4, 1991 at which time the Company consented to the removal of its Common Stock and 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures from the AMEX. Subsequent to the AMEX de-listing the Company attempted to establish relations with a brokerage firm who would serve as a market maker for the Common Stock. Based on information received from The National Quotation Bureau, Inc., there have been no reported transactions in the Company's Common Stock since January 29, 1991. During the period January 1, 1991 through January 29, 1991 the high and low bid price for the Common Stock was $.03 and the high and low offer price was $.10. No dividends have ever been paid on the Common Stock, and payment of dividends is restricted under the terms of the two indentures pursuant to which the Company's outstanding debentures are issued. As of December 31, 1994 there were 712 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock and 518 debenture holders.

PRELIMINARY NOTE
The description of the Company's business in this Annual Report on Form 10-K focuses on its traditional core business of selling individual homes and homesites and the construction of residences. Readers should understand as they read the report, however, that at such time the Company is not presently pursuing its core business until its debt obligations have been substantially eliminated. The reason the Company is no longer pursuing its core business is set forth with more particularity below.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the Company's business focus and emphasis changed substantially as it concentrated its sales and marketing efforts almost exclusively on the disposition in bulk of its undeveloped, platted, residential real estate. This change was prompted by its continuing financial difficulties due to the principal and interest owed on its debt and managements' conclusion that a bulk sale was the best way to reduce the Company's debt service obligations. If the Company is successful in its sale of this undeveloped land, its remaining inventory will consist of undeveloped commercial property. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to effect a bulk sale. Assuming a bulk sale occurs, the Company intends to decide at that point whether it will pursue the development and sale of the commercial property in accordance with its traditional core business plans or whether it will attempt to sell such property in bulk. That decision will depend, in part, on whether the Company believes it can generate more revenue by developing and selling individual commercial properties or by selling in bulk.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Due to the low level of real estate sales, the Company was unable to make the interest payments scheduled to begin in August 1993. The Company experienced a serious threat to its ability to continue operations because of the Company's inability to generate sufficient sales from its new Southern Woods community. Fortunately, the Company was able to close a major transaction during 1994 with its secured lender, more fully discussed below, which enabled the Company to obtain an extension and reduction of its primary debt.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994 increased by $611 thousand to $5.5 million compared to revenues of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993 decreased by $5.3 million to $4.9 million compared to revenues of $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1992. A net loss of $1.3 million ($.59 per share) was incurred
- 12 -
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
for 1994 compared to a net loss of $3.0 million ($1.11 per share) for 1993 and a net loss of $2.9 million ($1.08 per share) for 1992. Included in the 1994, 1993 and 1992 earnings per share computation is $640,000 ($.19 per share of Common Stock) of annual cumulative preferred stock dividends in arrears.
In April 1994 the Company entered into a series of agreements wherein the Company sold the remainder of its Southern Woods developed homesites inventory (approximately 72 homesites), the remainder of the undeveloped acreage of Southern Woods (approximately 200 acres) and 162 prepaid water and sewer connections in exchange for a $2.4 million reduction in the principal due to its primary lender, a net $310,000 reduction in accrued interest due to the primary lender, the satisfaction of $362,000 in other liabilities and additional closing costs of $71,000 (the "Second Secured Lender Transaction"). Included in other income for 1994 is $1.5 million gain related to the sale of the Southern Woods development which represents the excess fair market value over carrying value.
The resulting principal and interest payable to its primary lender, due to the sale of Southern Woods, retains a maturity date of July 8, 1997. Effective with the closing, the Company's interest rate has been reduced from the default rate of prime plus 5% to prime plus 1.5%. The primary lender has granted the Company a moratorium until May 1995 on any principal and interest payments other than release payments associated with the sale of properties. On May 1, 1995 the Company must pay all accrued interest due as of that date as well as pay the 1993 and 1994 property taxes owed on any properties serving as collateral for the primary debt, estimated in total at approximately $700,000. Failure to remit these amounts on May 1, 1995 will result in an event of default under the loan documents.
Included in the 1992 earnings is a $1.4 million gain related to the sale of the remainder of its Citrus County developed homesite inventory (approximately 1,300 homesites), 440 acres of Citrus County undeveloped property, its Sugarmill Woods sales office and $4.7 million in receivables on homesite sales in exchange for a $13.7 million reduction in collateralized liabilities and a $2.2 million reduction in uncollateralized liabilities to the Company's primary lender (the "Secured Lender Transaction").
During the Secured Lender Transaction 350 acres were conveyed to Love-PGI Partners, L.P., holders of a portion of the Company's collateralized convertible debentures. The remainder of the assets sold within the Secured Lender Transaction and the Second Secured Lender Transaction (referred to jointly as the Secured Lender Transactions) were sold without recourse to subsidiaries of the Company's primary lender, BancFlorida, a Naples, Florida based federal savings and loan association ("BancFlorida").
During 1994 the Company's primary lender merged with First Union Corporation of Florida ("First Union").
- 13 -
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The $1.5 million and $1.4 million gain associated with these transactions are included in other income in the December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1992 consolidated statement of operations, respectively.
Real Estate Activities - - ----------------------
Home Sales - - ----------
Home sales are recorded at closing. Consequently, there is a several month time lag between contract date and revenue recognition.
- 14 -
Home Sales (continued) - - ----------------------
New home sales decreased from 34 for 1992 to 27 in 1993 and to 14 in 1994, reflecting the impact of the recession on home sales as well as increased competition from other builders in Sugarmill Woods and Southern Woods.
Home sales gross profit margins for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were .68%, 2.6% and 7.0%, respectively. The 1994 and 1993 gross profit decline is due to a higher overhead percentage allocated to jobs as total construction volume decreased while overhead remained fairly constant.
The Company believes the current economic conditions and increased competition will continue to negatively impact housing sales during 1995 and that the Company will not experience a substantial improvement in either home sales volume or gross profit margins. In response to this outlook, the Board of Directors approved to temporarily suspend the new home construction operation in Sugarmill Woods.
Effective July 1, 1994, the Company assigned its interest in the remaining home contracts to another builder in the Sugarmill Woods area, retaining only the rental and resale homesite division as an operating entity. Since the home building division required a substantial amount of accounting and administrative support which was not treated as direct overhead, the Company was able to reduce its work force by 9 people.
Homesite Sales - - --------------
With the closing of the Second Secured Lender Transaction, the Company's homesite sales efforts came to an end during the middle part of 1994. After the sale of the Southern Woods development the Company was left with only a few undeveloped homesites. As a result homesite sales decreased $259,000 from $499,000 in 1993 to $240,000 during 1994. The Company does not expect significant homesite sale income for 1995.
Also, effective January 1, 1990, the Company implemented the installment method of homesite sales reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 66 "Accounting for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. 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 intercompany transactions.
Revenue and Profit Recognition - - ------------------------------
Homesites ---------
Prior to July 1992, homesites were generally sold under contracts for deed or deed, note and mortgage which provide for a down payment and monthly installments, including interest, for periods up to ten years. Prior to 1990 income from sales of homesites was recorded when minimum down payment (including interest) and other requirements were met. However, because of collectibility problems with certain off-site broker/foreign sales programs, effective January 1, 1990, the Company adopted the installment method of profit recognition in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate".
Homes Units -----------
Home sales are recorded at closing.
Acreage -------
Sales of undeveloped and developed acreage tracts are recognized, net of any deferred revenue and valuation discount, when minimum down payment and other requirements are met.
Provision for Cancellations - - ---------------------------
For sales prior to January 1, 1990, the Company provided for estimated future cancellations of receivables on real estate sales by charges to operations based on historical collection experience and analysis of delinquencies. Balances related to cancelled receivables are charged to the allowance for cancellations.
Land and Improvement Inventories - - --------------------------------
Land held for sale to customers is stated at cost, which is not in excess of estimated net realizable value. Homesite costs are allocated to projects based on area methods, which consider square footage, future improvement costs and frontage.
- 31 -
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Property and Equipment - - ----------------------
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Gains or losses resulting from the disposition of property and equipment are respectively included in other income or other expense.
Per Share Data - - --------------
Primary loss per share is computed by dividing net loss, after including dividends on the Company's preferred stock, by the average number of common shares. For this purpose, the Company's cumulative convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures are not deemed to be common stock equivalents but outstanding vested stock options are considered as such. The average number of common shares outstanding was 3,317,216 for 1994, 1993 and 1992.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - - -------------------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Reclassifications - - -----------------
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the 1992 financial statements to conform to the 1993 presentation.
2. Secured Lender Transactions: ----------------------------
In April 1994 the Company entered into a series of agreements (the Second Secured Lender Transaction) wherein the Company sold the remainder of its Southern Woods developed homesites inventory (approximately 72 homesites), the remainder of the undeveloped acreage of Southern Woods (approximately 200 acres) and 162 prepaid water and sewer connections in exchange for a $2.4 million reduction in the principal due to its primary lender, a net $310,000 reduction in accrued interest due to the primary lender, the satisfaction of $362,000 in other liabilities and additional closing costs of $71,000 (the "Second Secured Lender Transaction"). Included in other income for 1994 is a $1.5 million gain related to the sale of the Southern Woods development which represents the excess of fair market value over carrying value of assets exchanged.
In July 1992 the Company entered into a series of agreements (the Second Secured Lender Transaction) executed on July 8, 1992 and closed on July 11, 1992, wherein the Company sold the remainder of its Citrus County developed homesite inventory (approximately 1,300 homesites), 440 acres of Citrus County undeveloped property, its Sugarmill Woods sales office and $4.7 million in receivables on homesite sales in exchange for a $13.7 million reduction in collateralized liabilities and a $2.2 million reduction in uncollateralized liabilities.

2. Secured Lender Transactions: (Continued) ----------------------------------------
The 1,300 homesites, 90 acres, the sales office and the receivables were sold without recourse to subsidiaries of the Company's primary lender, BancFlorida, a Naples, Florida based federal savings and loan association ("BancFlorida"). The remaining 350 acres were conveyed to Love-PGI Partners, L.P., holders of a portion of the Company's collateralized convertible debentures. In addition to the closing proceeds, the Company has received $649,000 as of December 31, 1994 with $11,000 yet to be received for working capital from BancFlorida as receivable payments were collected by BancFlorida on the acquired portfolio and remitted to the Company. The $1.4 million gain associated with these transactions is included in other income in the December 31, 1992 consolidated statement of operations.
3. Real Estate Sales - and Other Income: -------------------------------------
4. Restricted Cash: ----------------
Restricted cash included cash and certificates of deposit pledged to agencies in various states and local Florida governmental units related to land development and environmental matters, escrowed receipts related to pledged receivables on real estate sales and the servicing of sold receivables and, as a result of sales agreements and Company policies, customer payments and deposits related to home site and housing contracts.

5. Receivables on Real Estate Sales: ---------------------------------
Stated interest rates for contracts receivable on homesite sales, as well as contracts and mortgages receivable on acreage sales, ranged up to 10% with payment terms varying from seven to ten years. The weighted average interest rate for such receivables outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 9.4% and 8.9%, respectively.
The Company generally considers receivables on real estate sales delinquent if the scheduled installment payment is over 30 days past due. At December 31, 1994 and 1993 delinquent receivables approximated $871,000 and $857,000, respectively.
Contracts receivable on homesite sales and contracts and mortgages receivable on acreage sales have been discounted to yield an effective interest rate of 14%. Contracts receivable on homesite sales recorded under the installment method have not been discounted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
5. Receivables on Real Estate Sales: (Continued) ---------------------------------------------
In March 1988 the Company sold contracts receivable on homesite sales totaling approximately $9,246,000, before consideration of a related unamortized valuation discount of approximately $1,197,000 at the time of the sale. For financial reporting purposes this transaction has been treated as a financing transaction (see Note 10), since the Company may be required to repurchase the contracts receivable on homesite sales under conditions other than the recourse provision of the sales agreement. At December 31, 1994, and 1993, contracts receivable on homesite sales of approximately $2,187,000 and $2,898,000, respectively, and related unamortized valuation discount of approximately $107,000 and $175,000, respectively, related to this transaction have been included in the Company's reported receivables on real estate sales.
At December 31, 1994, 63% of the Company's gross receivables from real estate sales were generated by a broker in two geographic regions, certain districts in New York City and Taiwan. These sales were under contract for deed with terms similar to sales to other customers. This concentration of credit risk has been considered by management in determining the allowance for cancellations.

10. Credit Agreements - Primary Lender and Notes and Mortgages ---------------------------------------------------------- Payable: (Continued) --------------------
At December 31, 1994 assets collateralizing the Company's credit agreements with its primary lender and notes and mortgages payable were carried at $11,406,000, of which $2,310,000 represented gross receivables on real estate sales, $19,000 represented other receivables, $8,958,000 represented land and improvement inventories, and $119,000 represented property and equipment.
The overall weighted average interest rate for the Company's credit agreements with its primary lender and all remaining notes and mortgages was approximately 9.6% for 1994 and 8.9% for 1993.
As discussed in Note 5, the Company's March 1988 sale of receivables on real estate sales has been treated as a financing transaction for financial reporting purposes since the Company may be required to repurchase these receivables under conditions other than the recourse provision of the sales agreement. Principal and interest payments are recorded by the Company based on the collections from receivables applicable to the sale and the application of the 12 1/4% interest rate used to calculate this sale's discounted present value. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the outstanding principal balance for this financing transaction was approximately $ 2,253,000 and $2,855,000, respectively, and based on estimated collections of the associated receivables on real estate sales, full repayment should be made by 1999.
The Company's credit agreement with its primary lender matured May 30, 1991. Effective July 1, 1991, the primary lender began charging the Company at the default rate, prime plus 5%. In July 1992 the Company sold to its primary lender the remainder of its Citrus County undeveloped property, its Sugarmill Woods sales office and $4.7 million in receivables on homesite sales in exchange for a $9.7 million principal reduction and the payment of $2.7 million in interest due on its primary lender debt. In addition to the debt reduction, the Company received a 5-year extension of the maturity date of the remaining debt, an interest rate reduction to prime plus 1-1/2% with an interest moratorium until August 1, 1993 and the utilization of up to $670,000 for working capital as receivable payments are collected by BancFlorida on the acquired portfolio and remitted to the Company.
In August of 1993 the Company was unable to make its debt payment and again defaulted on its primary lender debt. In April 1994 the Company entered into a series of agreements wherein the Company sold the remainder of its Southern Woods developed homesites inventory (approximately 72 homesites), the remainder of the undeveloped acreage of Southern Woods (approximately 200 acres) and 162 prepaid water and sewer connections in exchange for a $2.4 million reduction in the principal due to its primary lender, a net $310,000 reduction in accrued interest due to the primary lender, the satisfaction of $362,000 in other liabilities and additional closing costs of

$71,000 (the "Second Secured Lender Transaction"). Included in other income for 1994 is $1.5 million gain related to the sale of the Southern Woods development which represents the excess fair market value over carrying value.
Although substantially all of the Company's real and personal property including all of the stock of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries remains pledged as collateral, the Company negotiated agreements with it's mortgage holders to allow the Company to sell part of it's land holdings without requiring full payment of the secured debt.
The resulting principal and interest payable to its primary lender, due to the sale of Southern Woods, retains a maturity date of July 8, 1997. Effective with the closing, the Company's interest rate has been reduced from the default rate of prime plus 5% to prime plus 1.5%. The primary lender has granted the Company a moratorium until May 1995 on any principal and interest payments other than release payments associated with the sale of properties. On May 1, 1995 the Company must pay all accrued interest due as of that date as well as pay the 1993 and 1994 property taxes owed on any properties serving as collateral for the primary debt, estimated in total of approximately $700,000. Failure to remit these amounts on May 1, 1995 will result in an event of default under the loan documents.
On May 1, 1995 a payment is due to the Company's primary lender which if not paid will be a default under the loan agreement. At that time approximately $700,000 will be due. This amount represents the interest accumulated since the April 1994 Second Secured Lender Transaction plus the 1993 and 1994 real estate taxes on the Citrus County Property. After this date, the Company will be required to pay interest of approximately $40,000 to $50,000 monthly until July, 1997 when the loan will be due in full. These interest payments are in addition to principal payments that are required as major land sales take place. The Company continues to discuss an extension of the May 1, 1995 deadline with its primary lender or a third party investor/buyer but has not been able to structure an agreement.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the Company's business focus and emphasis changed substantially as it concentrated its sales and marketing efforts almost exclusively on the disposition in bulk of its undeveloped, platted, residential real estate. This change was prompted by its continuing financial difficulties due to the principal and interest owed on its debt and managements' realization that a bulk sale was the best way to reduce the Company's debt service obligations. If the Company is successful in its sale of this undeveloped land, its remaining inventory will consist of undeveloped commercial proeprty. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to effect a bulk sale. Assuming a bulk sale occurs, the Company intends to decide at that point whether it will pursue the development and sale of the commercial property in accordance with its traditional core business plans or whether it will attempt to sell such property in bulk. That decision will depend, in part, on whether the Company believes it can generate more revenue by developing and selling individual commercial properties or by selling in bulk.

11. Convertible Subordinated Debentures Payable: --------------------------------------------
Since issuance, $650,000 and $152,000 of the 6-1/2% and 6% debentures, respectively, have been converted.
The Company is currently in default of certain sinking fund and interest payments on both convertible subordinated debentures, $9,059,000 in principal plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling $2,772,000 at December 31, 1994.
The debentures are not collateralized and are not subordinated to each other, but are subordinated to senior indebtedness ($12,752,000 at December 31, 1994). 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 satisfy the obligation to debenture holders, the Company has been and intends to continue to:
- actively seek buyers for all or a portion of the undeveloped acreage; - search for additional sources of equity; and - determine if potential merger or joint venture candidates exist.
No assurances can be made that the Company can achieve any of the three above alternatives.
12. Convertible Debentures Payable: -------------------------------
In July and September 1989, the Company sold $1,282,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, of convertible debentures to a partnership affiliated with the Company's preferred shareholder. In connection with the July 1992 Secured Lender Transaction in partial consideration for the conveyance of 350 acres of property, the principal amount due to convertible debenture holders was reduced by $782,000 and accrued interest thereon was reduced by $389,000 leaving a balance of $1,500,000. The debentures, with a maturity of July 8, 1997 accrue interest at 14% compounded quarterly. The Company's primary lender credit agreements, however, prohibit the payment of interest until such time as the primary lender loans are repaid. Each month, to the extent interest on the Convertible

Debentures is not paid in cash, the number of shares into which the Convertible Debentures are convertible will increase. If no interest is paid prior to maturity, at maturity the Convertible Debentures purchased on July 24, 1989, will be convertible into 868,788 shares and those purchased on September 29, 1989, will be convertible into 1,726,568 shares, or a total of 2,595,356 shares of common stock. The debentures are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.72 per share. The conversion price may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.
Accrued interest was $1,616,000 and $1,215,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The debentures are collateralized by a second mortgage on an approximately 650 acre tract of land in Citrus County, Florida.
13. Income Taxes: -------------
Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires a change from the deferred method to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Under the deferred method, deferred taxes were recognized using the tax rate applicable to the year of the calculation and were not adjusted for subsequent changes in the tax rates. Based on the Company's current tax status and current tax laws, adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had an operating loss carryforward of approximately $28,000,000 which will expire at various dates through 2009. In addition, the Company had unused investment tax credits of approximately $731,000 which will expire at varying dates through 2000.

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%.

At December 31, 1994 cumulative preferred dividends in arrears totaled $4,056,000 ($640,000 of which related to the year ended December 31, 1994).
The preferred stock was convertible at the option of the holders into common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.41 per share (equivalent to 1.66 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock), subject to adjustment in certain events. As a result of the 1989 issuance of the convertible debentures payable, the conversion price was adjusted to $2.13 per share.

16. Quarterly Results: (Continued) ------------------------------
- As a result of reduced land (see note 18) prices, local competition and the McQueen Transaction the Company has provided $250,000 for land cost reductions. This includes a $99,000 adjustment to the 1994 Net Realizable Value of land in Charlotte County, Florida. Further, the Company has reduced by $78,000 a contingent contract asset account which has been uncollected since the 1992 Secured Lender Transaction.
17. Commitments and Contingencies: ------------------------------
The Company is a party to a number of lawsuits incidental to the normal operation of its business. Two of these lawsuits filed in 1994 involve Sugarmill Woods, Inc. This first case involves a home Sugarmill Woods, Inc. built in 1991 that has a potential claim against Sugarmill Woods, Inc. of $65,000. At this time the outcome of the litigation cannot be determined.
The second case involves Sugarmill Woods, Inc. and Citrus County County Tax Collector. In 1994, Citrus County County Tax Collector denied agricultural exemption status for the undeveloped Sugarmill Woods property and the Company was forced to sue the County to reclaim the tax benefit. At this time the outcome of the litigation cannot be determined.
The aggregate outstanding balances of receivables sold or exchanged with recourse by the Company, not including those receivables associated with the March 1988 financing transaction previously discussed in Notes 5 and 9, totaled approximately $618,000, $872,000, and $1,970,000 at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Based on its collection experience with such receivables, the Company maintained an allowance at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 classified in other liabilities, of approximately $300,000 for the recourse provisions related to all receivables sold.
Under the terms of the receivables sale agreements the Company must repurchase contracts greater than 90 days past due or exchange current contracts owned by the Company. The repurchase price is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the delinquent contract plus accrued interest. At December 31, 1994, sold contracts receivable greater than 90 days past due totaled approximately $32,000. The related accrued interest is considered immaterial.
The Company currently leases office space for its corporate headquarters and its administrative operations, certain office equipment, and model homes under operating leases. During 1994, 1993 and 1992 the Company incurred expenses of $113,000, $216,000, and $240,000, respectively, related to these leases.

18. Related Party Transactions: ---------------------------
In January, 1994 the Company's President, Paula McQueen (see Note 16), retired after 28 years of employment. Pursuant to the terms of an Employment Agreement executed on March 27, 1987, the Company owed termination pay in the amount of $50,000, $13,000 for services rendered during the month of January 1994, as well as reimbursement for business expenses incurred by the employee. In order to conserve its operating cash, the Company negotiated an agreement whereby property was transferred at its appraised value in full satisfaction of the amount due. The property transferred was subject to approximately $11,000 in delinquent and current year taxes, as well as closing costs. The Company transferred additional Lots and $6,400 in furniture in lieu of the cash payment of these closing costs. The additional lots were transferred at the same value as that paid by third party purchasers of comparable property. The value of the furniture was equal to 50% of its 1989 acquisition cost and exceed that which the Company would have realized in a sale of the furniture to a third party purchaser.
The Company continued to utilize the services of the retired President subsequent to her termination. During 1994 a certified public accounting firm in which the former President is a partner rendered services totaling $47,437. Again, to conserve operating cash, the Company negotiated an agreement whereby property was transferred at the same prices paid by third party purchasers for comparable property. Additional property to cover the cost of delinquent and current year taxes, as well as transfer costs was also conveyed at the same value paid by third party purchasers for comparable property.

In consideration for these consulting services, the Company will pay Love Company 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, 1994 the book value of the Company's assets was approximately $16.0 million. Consulting fees totaling $54,000, $69,000, and $108,000 were accrued during 1994, 1993, and 1992 but have not yet been paid. In connection with the July 1992 Secured Lender Transaction, accrued management fees were reduced by $1,042,000 as partial consideration for the conveyance of the 350 acres of property transferred to Love-PGI Partners, L.P. ("L-PGI"). The consulting agreement will continue in effect until terminated upon 90 days prior written notice by a majority vote of the Company's directors who have no financial interest in Love Company or in any Love Company affiliated entity.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions (Continued) - - -------- ----------------------------------------------------------
Love-1989 Florida Partners, L.P., a Missouri limited partnership ("New Partnership"), which is affiliated with L-PGI, purchased $1,282,000 of the Company's convertible debentures at face amount on July 24, 1989. The convertible debentures, and all accrued interest at 14% per annum thereon, are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.72 per share. Upon issuance, the convertible debentures were convertible into 745,611 shares of common stock. On September 29, 1989, the New Partnership purchased an additional $1,000,000 of convertible debentures at face amount which were convertible into 581,395 shares of common stock. The convertible debentures are collateralized by a second mortgage on approximately 650 acres of Company owned property.
The Company's primary lender credit agreements, however, prohibit the payment of interest on the convertible debentures until such time as the primary lender loans are repaid. Each month, to the extent interest on the convertible debentures are not paid in cash, the number of shares into which the convertible debentures are convertible will increase. If no interest is paid prior to maturity, at maturity the convertible debentures purchased by the New Partnership on July 24, 1989, will be convertible into 868,788 shares and those purchased on September 29, 1989, will be convertible into 1,726,568 shares, or a total of 2,595,356 shares of common stock.
The New Partnership's purchase of the convertible debentures was funded by a loan from L-PGI. The New Partnership has since repaid the debt in full, in part by transferring $782,000 of the convertible debentures purchased on July 24, 1989, to L-PGI. In connection with the July 1992 Secured Lender Transaction as partial consideration for the conveyance of 350 acres of property, L-PGI's convertible debenture was reduced by $782,000 principal and $389,000 accrued interest. The maturity date on all of the remaining Convertible Debentures was extended to July 8, 1997.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company made payments of $21,000, $38,000 and $63,000, respectively, for insurance premiums to Hilb, Rogal & Hamilton Company of Tampa Bay, whose Executive Vice President and major stockholder, John W. Veghte, was a director of the Company until his resignation in June 1993.
In April 1985 the Company sold its former administration building located in Punta Gorda, Florida to McCo, Inc. ("McCo"), a corporation owned and operated by the husband of Mrs. Paula McQueen, the Company's former President and Secretary and Treasurer and subsequently entered into a leaseback of a portion of the building on terms similar to those negotiated by other tenants. During 1994, 1993 and 1992 the Company paid $58,000, $135,000 and $200,000 to McCo for rent, common area costs and utilities related to this leased office space.
In 1985 a corporation owned by Alfred M. Johns, the former Chairman, and his family made an uncollateralized loan to the Company which at December 31, 1994 had an outstanding balance, excluding accrued interest, of $176,000.
The Company believes that the foregoing transactions were on terms comparable to those which would have been obtained from unaffiliated persons.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Our report on the consolidated financial statements of PGI Incorporated and subsidiaries is included on page 25 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In connection with our audits of such financial statements, we have also audited the related financial statement schedules listed in the index on page 60 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In our opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein.
The accompanying financial statement schedule have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 10, the Company is in default on the payment of interest on its primary lender credit agreements. As discussed in note 11, the Company is in default on the payment of principal and interest on its convertible subordinated debentures. The Company does not currently have the availability of funds to pay the primary lender accrued interest, to retire the convertible subordinated debentures or to pay the related accrued interest. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in notes 10 and 11. The financial statement schedules do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
