P & F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of P & F Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

P & F Industries, Inc. (“P & F”) conducts its business operations through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”), Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”), Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”) and Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”). P & F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.”

 

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial and retail markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, and through its Franklin Manufacturing (“Franklin”) division. Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Franklin imports a line of door and window hardware. Green is engaged primarily in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders. Green also manufactures a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry. Embassy is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems. Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presents financial information for the segments of the Company’s business.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

7



 

The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2003 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with that Report.

 

In preparing its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

 

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2003, filed as part of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 14, 2003, the Company determined that it needed to revise its provision for taxes on income in previously issued financial statements. This change resulted from the amortization of a deferred tax liability, not previously recorded, related to the acquisition of Nationwide. The Company’s consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 has been restated from the amounts previously reported. The Company has filed an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

 

NOTE 4 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), which was issued to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amended the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

 

8



 

The Company accounts for its stock option awards to its employees under the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company makes pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied, as required by SFAS 123.

 

SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted, and there was no pro forma compensation expense, during the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003.

 

NOTE 5 – FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses through its statement of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of operations. At March 31, 2004, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2004, to purchase yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at March 31, 2004, based on the spot rate, was approximately $2,265,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s corresponding yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded net realized losses of approximately $69,000 on foreign currency transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded net realized gains of approximately $1,000 on foreign currency transactions. At March 31, 2004, the Company had an unrealized loss of approximately $33,000 on foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 6 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective February 1, 2003 for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and July 1, 2003 for variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003 (deferred until the first quarter of 2004). The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any effect on either the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

NOTE 9 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On June 30, 2003, the Company renewed its credit agreement, as amended, with Citibank through July 26, 2004. This agreement includes a revolving credit loan facility, which provides a total of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. At March 31, 2004, there was $4,500,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. There were no open letters of credit at March 31, 2004.

 

Direct borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at either the prime interest rate or LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) plus 1.6%. The prime interest rate at March 31, 2004 was 4.0% and LIBOR was approximately 1.1%. The prime interest rate at March 31, 2003 was 4.25% and LIBOR was approximately 1.3%.

 

The credit agreement also includes a foreign exchange line, which provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2004, based on the spot rate, was approximately $2,265,000.

 

Under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2004, and for the three months then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants. The credit agreement is subject to annual review by the lending bank.

 

The credit agreement also includes a term loan facility, which provides a maximum commitment of $15,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the lending bank’s approval. The Company borrowed $11,500,000 against this facility to finance the acquisition of Nationwide in 2002, and there was $5,000,000 outstanding against this facility at March 31, 2004. There was also a standby letter of credit totaling approximately $186,000 outstanding against this facility at March 31, 2004. This standby letter of credit is used to secure the Economic Development Revenue Bond assumed as part of the acquisition of Green.

 

Certain of the Company’s mortgage agreements require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2004, and for the three months then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

NOTE 10 - WARRANTY LIABILITY

 

The Company offers to its customers warranties against product defects for periods ranging from one year to the life of the product, depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The Company’s typical warranties require it to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. At the time the product revenue is recognized, the Company records a liability for estimated costs under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate, the estimated liability for the product warranties could differ materially from future actual warranty costs.

 

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability, included in other accrued liabilities, for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 were as follows:

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

General

 

Any forward-looking statements contained herein, including those related to the Company’s future performance, are based upon the Company’s historical performance and on current plans, estimates and expectations, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the impact of competition, product demand and pricing. These risks could cause the Company’s actual results for the balance of fiscal year 2004 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

 

Overview

 

The Company’s consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased 0.5%, from $19,481,876 to $19,575,296. Revenues increased at three of the four subsidiaries, with the greatest increase at Embassy.  Substantially offsetting the three increases was an 8.5% decrease in revenues at Florida Pneumatic, resulting primarily from the loss of a major customer in early 2004. Overall gross profit decreased, resulting primarily from a less favorable product mix and the increase in cost of imported product due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus both the yen and euro. Profits decreased overall, from $590,228 to $236,566.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those discussed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased due primarily to lower industrial revenues, resulting from the loss of a major customer in early 2004 of approximately $650,000, lower retail promotion and base sales of approximately $450,000 and decreases in Berkeley tool division and filter sales and commission revenues. This was partially offset by increased sales to the automotive after-market of approximately $300,000. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged.

 

Revenues from hardware increased due to an increase in Nationwide’s revenues of approximately $400,000, reflecting an increase of approximately $650,000 from sales of fencing products.  The increase at Nationwide was partially offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately $160,000 at Franklin, as a significant customer reduced its ordering, because of a plan to reduce inventory carrying levels. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company incurred increases in the price of steel. Effective February 1, 2004, Nationwide began charging fencing product customers an additional 4-5% to cover the increased cost. During April of 2004, the Company began increasing prices to customers at Franklin and to other customers at Nationwide in an effort to cover the cost increases.

 

Revenues from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment increased primarily due to entry into a new market for log splitter cylinders.  Sales of these newly-developed cylinders imported from China accounted for approximately $175,000 of the increase. The overall increase was partially offset by decreased sales in the access product line driven by weakness in the capital goods market. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company incurred increases in the price of steel. During April of 2004, the Company began increasing cylinder prices to customers by 3.8%, the approximate amount of the cost increases.

 

17



 

Revenues from heating products increased due primarily to increased boiler and commercial heating product sales, reflecting continued market penetration with these newer product lines, and increased baseboard and radiant sales, resulting from strong housing starts in the 2004 first quarter. Selling prices of heating products were unchanged, with the exception of a modest price increase for baseboard products during the second quarter of 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company incurred increases in the price of steel, copper and aluminum. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company began increasing prices across all product lines within this segment in amounts that approximate the cost increases.

The decrease in the gross profit percentage from pneumatic tools and related equipment was due primarily to the loss of a major customer noted above with a better than average gross margin and the weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen, partially offset by productivity improvements and cost reductions from suppliers. The increase in the gross profit percentage from hardware products was due primarily to a more favorable product mix and cost savings in material purchases and labor productivity.  The increase in the gross profit percentage from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment was due primarily to increased sales noted above, which increased coverage of fixed expenses, including an increase in sales of imported products. This was partially offset by material cost increases. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from heating equipment was due primarily to lower radiant margins, resulting principally from the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro, and an increase in boiler sales noted above that were at reduced margins.

 

18



 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.1%, from $4,870,825 to $5,071,545, due primarily to increased compensation at Nationwide and, to a lesser extent, to increased professional fees, mainly related to corporate compliance and reporting requirements. These increases were partially offset by substantial decreases resulting from cost-cutting efforts in all of the segments. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 25.0% to 25.9%, due primarily to the increased expenses discussed above.

 

Interest—Net

 

Net interest expense decreased from $187,321 to $123,182, due primarily to lower average borrowings under both the revolving credit and term loan facilities.

 

Taxes on Income

 

The effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were 40.3% and 37.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was due primarily to an increase in expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s cash flows from operations are cyclical, with the greatest demand in the second and third quarters followed by very positive cash flows in the fourth quarter as receivables and inventory trend down. Due to its strong asset base and predictable cash flows, the Company has access to substantial additional capital, if and when needed, based on favorable banking relationships. The Company monitors average days sales outstanding, inventory turns and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs and evaluate return on assets employed.

 

The Company gauges its liquidity and financial stability by the measurements shown in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands):

Cash increased 335.4%, or $.7 million, from $.2 million as of December 31, 2003 to $.9 million as of March 31, 2004. The Company’s debt levels increased from $13.2 million at December 31, 2003 to $14.4 million at March 31, 2004. Total percent of debt to total capitalization increased from 35.8% at December 31, 2003 to 38.7% at March 31, 2004.

 

In connection with Countrywide’s acquisition of all of the stock of Nationwide in 2002, the Company is liable for contingent earnout payments to Nationwide’s previous owner, in amounts equal to 30% of the excess of Nationwide’s earnings, before amortization of intangible assets, interest and taxes, over $2,500,000, for each of the five twelve-month periods subsequent to the acquisition date. These contingent earnout payments have been and will be treated as additions to goodwill. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $30,000, related to contingent earnout payments.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, gross accounts receivable increased by approximately $177,000, with increases of approximately $826,000 and $272,000 at Countrywide and Embassy, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $835,000 and $86,000 at Florida Pneumatic and Green, respectively. The increase at Countrywide was due primarily to an increase in sales in the first quarter of 2004, compared to the fourth quarter of 2003, and for its Franklin division, the timing of shipments. The increase at Embassy was due primarily to an increase in sales in the first quarter of 2004 versus the fourth quarter of 2003. The decrease at Florida Pneumatic was due primarily to improved collections and the timing of retail promotional receipts. The decrease at Green was due primarily to improved collections.

 

Inventories decreased by approximately $845,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, with a decrease of approximately $1,501,000 at Florida Pneumatic, partially offset by increases of approximately $333,000, $227,000 and $96,000 at Countrywide, Green and Embassy, respectively. The decrease at Florida Pneumatic was due primarily to reduced purchases, the loss of a major customer in early 2004 noted above and more efficient ordering levels for safety stock. The increase at Countrywide was due primarily to a concerted effort to support overall growth in the business and preparation for the peak spring season at Nationwide. The increase at Green was due primarily to the timing of inventory receipts and a further investment in inventory for import cylinders. The increase at Embassy was due primarily to the timing of radiant and boiler inventory receipts.

 

During the first quarter of 2004, short-term borrowings increased by $1,500,000, primarily to fund working capital needs.

 

20



 

During the first quarter of 2004, accounts payable decreased by approximately $472,000, with a decrease of approximately $908,000 at Florida Pneumatic, partially offset by increases of $170,000, $165,000 and $101,000 at Embassy, Green and Countrywide, respectively. The decrease at Florida Pneumatic was due primarily to reduced purchases and the timing of payments. The increase at Embassy was due primarily to the timing of purchases. The increase at Green was due primarily to the timing of payments. The increase at Countrywide was due primarily to the timing of purchases.

 

On June 30, 2003, the Company renewed its credit agreement, as amended, with Citibank through July 26, 2004. This agreement provides the Company with various credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions and a foreign exchange line. The credit agreement is subject to annual review by Citibank.

 

The revolving credit loan facility provides a maximum of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility.  At March 31, 2004, there was $4,500,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. There were no open letters of credit at March 31, 2004.

 

The term loan facility provides a maximum commitment of $15,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the lending bank’s approval. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. The Company borrowed $11,500,000 against this facility to finance the acquisition of Nationwide. At March 31, 2004, there was $5,000,000 outstanding against the term loan facility. There was also a standby letter of credit totaling approximately $186,000 outstanding against this facility at March 31, 2004. This standby letter of credit was used to secure the Economic Development Revenue Bond assumed as part of the acquisition of Green.

 

The foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of Japanese yen needed for payments of foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2004, based on the spot rate, was approximately $2,265,000.

 

Under its credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2004 and for the quarter then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

 

Certain of the Company’s mortgage agreements also require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. At March 31, 2004 and for the quarter then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

 

21



 

Capital spending for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $226,000 and $295,000, respectively, which amounts were provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2004 are expected to be approximately $1,200,000, some of which may be financed through the Company’s credit facilities. Included in the expected total for the remainder of 2004 are capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines and replacement of equipment.

 

Operating activities used cash totaling approximately $250,000 and $687,000 during the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively.  The Company believes that cash on hand derived from operations and cash available through borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet its foreseeable working capital needs.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company’s foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of Japanese yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The Company does not purchase forward contracts on New Taiwan dollars or euros. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2004, based on the spot rate, was approximately $2,265,000.

 

The Company, through Florida Pneumatic, imports a significant amount of its purchases from Japan, with payment due in Japanese yen. As a result, the Company is subject to the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company uses a variety of techniques to protect itself from any adverse effects from these fluctuations, including increasing its selling prices, obtaining price reductions from its overseas suppliers, using alternative supplier sources and entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The increase in the strength of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar over the first three months of 2004 had a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations and its financial position. Since March 31, 2004, the relative value of the U.S dollar in relation to the Japanese yen has increased. There can be no assurance as to the future trend of this value. See “Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.”

New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). This interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective February 1, 2003 for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and July 1, 2003 for variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003 (deferred until the first quarter of 2004).  The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any effect on either the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

 

23



 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in international exchange rates and the prices of certain commodities. The Company attempts to reduce the risks related to foreign currency fluctuation by utilizing financial instruments, pursuant to Company policy.

 

The value of the U.S. dollar affects the Company’s results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company’s gross margins and operating expenses. The Company engages in hedging programs aimed at limiting, in part, the impact of currency fluctuations. Using primarily forward exchange contracts, the Company hedges some of those transactions that, when remeasured according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, impact the statement of operations. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of the Company’s programs include volatility of the currency markets and availability of hedging instruments. All currency transactions that are entered into by the Company are components of hedging programs and are entered into not for speculation but for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure. The Company does not buy or sell financial instruments for trading purposes. Although the Company maintains these programs to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, when the U.S. dollar sustains a weakening exchange rate against currencies in which the Company incurs costs, the Company’s costs are adversely affected. The Company has various debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates tied to LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate). Any increase in LIBOR would have an adverse effect on the Company’s interest costs.

 

The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses through its statement of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of operations. At March 31, 2004, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2004, to purchase yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at March 31, 2004, based on the spot rate, was approximately $2,265,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s corresponding yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded net realized losses of approximately $69,000 on foreign currency transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded net realized gains of approximately $1,000 on foreign currency transactions. At March 31, 2004, the Company had an unrealized loss of approximately $33,000 on foreign currency transactions.

 

The potential loss in value of the Company’s net investment in foreign currency forward contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in foreign exchange rates at March 31, 2004 was approximately $247,000.
