P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated condensed 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 two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). P&F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company.

 

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial, retail and automotive 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. In addition, through its Franklin Manufacturing (“Franklin”) division, Florida Pneumatic imports a line of door and window hardware. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”) and through Woodmark International, L.P. (“Woodmark”), a limited partnership between P&F and Countrywide. Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Woodmark is an importer of builders’ hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”), was engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems until it exited that business in October 2005 (see Note 12) through the sale of substantially all of its non-real estate assets. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”), was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders until it exited that business in December 2004 through the sale of certain assets. Green also manufactured a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry until it exited that business in February 2005 through the sale of certain assets and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry until it exited that business in July 2005 through the sale of certain assets. Green has effectively ceased all operating activities (see Note 6). Note 11 presents financial information for the segments of the Company’s business.

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed 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 condensed 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.

The results of operations for Green have been segregated from continuing operations and are reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of earnings as discontinued operations.

 

The unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2004 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as adjusted for discontinued operations. The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with that Report.

 

In preparing its unaudited consolidated condensed 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. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based only on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the effect of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options, unless the effect on earnings is antidilutive.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding reflects the assumed use of proceeds from the hypothetical exercise of any outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The average market value for the period is used as the assumed purchase price.

NOTE 3 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”, 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 SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” 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.

 

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 earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied, as required by SFAS 123.

 

9



 

SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost for its incentive stock option 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, with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted in 2005 and 2004, respectively; no dividends paid; expected volatility of 36.8% and 35.0%; risk-free interest rate of 4.0% and 4.5%; and expected life of 10 years and 9.3 years.

 

Under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s net earnings and its basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

NOTE 4 - FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies, principally Japanese yen. Derivative products, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, are used to hedge the foreign currency market exposures underlying certain debt and forecasted transactions with foreign vendors. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes.

 

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedge item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure of variability in the expected future cash flows that would be attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss (a component of shareholders’ equity) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion and any portion of the derivative instrument excluded from the assessment of effectiveness), is recognized in earnings in the current period. For

 

10



 

derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair market values are recognized in earnings as a component of cost of sales.

 

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 earnings. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of earnings. At September 30, 2005, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2005, to purchase Japanese yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at September 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $1,295,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its cost of sales a net realized loss of approximately $29,000 and a net realized gain of approximately $18,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its cost of sales net realized losses of approximately $119,000 and $65,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had unrealized gains of $122,000 and $60,000 on foreign currency transactions.

 

NOTE 5 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles required recognition through a cumulative adjustment within net income of the period of the change. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005; however, the Statement does not change the specific transition provisions of any existing or future accounting pronouncements. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payments” (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 expresses views of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC’s views regarding the valuation of share-based compensation for public companies. We are currently evaluating the adoption of SFAS 123R and the impact that this statement will have on our results of operations. We intend to apply the principles of SAB 107 in conjunction with our adoption of SFAS 123R.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Assets Retirements Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Furthermore, the uncertainty about the timing and or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize the liability for the fair value of a conditional asset obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We

 

11



 

intend to implement the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of 2006.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, “Inventory Costs,” which is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement amends ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that these items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. In addition, allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion must be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” This statement is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and is effective the first annual period that begins after June 15, 2005 or the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2006. SFAS 123R establishes standards on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS 123R also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We intend to implement the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of 2006.

 

NOTE 6 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Agricultural Products Division

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agricultural APA”), dated as of July 14, 2005, between Green and Benko Products, Inc. (“Benko”), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Agricultural Products Division (the “Agricultural Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the Agricultural APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment. Certain assets of the Agricultural Division were retained by Green, including, but not limited to, certain of the Agricultural Division’s accounts receivable and inventories existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Agricultural Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the Agricultural APA was $530,000, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Agricultural Closing of $225,000; (b) $25,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Agricultural Note 1”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a five (5) month period commencing as of the Agricultural Closing; and (c) $280,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Agricultural Note 1, the “Agricultural Notes”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a four (4) year period commencing as of the Agricultural Closing. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. The obligations of Benko under the Agricultural APA and the Agricultural Notes are guaranteed by each of a principal shareholder and an affiliate of Benko, and partially secured by certain collateral.

 

In connection with the transaction, Green and Benko entered into an agreement which provides for Benko to purchase from Green 100% of Benko’s requirements for products of the type that constitute

 

12



 

part of Green’s inventory of raw materials and finished goods as of the acquisition date with all purchases by Benko being binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices. The term is for a period of one year from the acquisition date. Benko shall maintain for the benefit of Green an insurance policy insuring the inventory and will bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Benko will also be responsible for all recordkeeping with respect to the inventory. After the expiration of the term, Benko is obligated to provide Green with a list of all unpurchased inventory and return such inventory to Green. Based on the terms of the agreement, Green has effectively entered into an arrangement which provides for a transfer of its inventory to Benko prior to payment, as if it had been sold to Benko, with Green recording it as an other current receivable (based on the cost of the inventory, which approximated $373,000) in the third quarter of 2005. This treatment is based on the fact that Green has effectively transferred control of the inventory to Benko. Benko’s employees maintain control of the inventory as it is located on Benko’s premises and also bears risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Also, all purchases by Benko are binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices with Benko being Green’s only customer for the one-year period.

 

The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $345,000, net of taxes, in the third quarter of 2005.

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Access Division

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Access APA”), dated as of February 2, 2005, between Green and Benko Products, Inc. (“Benko”), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Access Division (the “Access Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the Access APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment, accounts receivable (“Purchased Receivables”), inventory, intellectual property and other intangibles. Certain assets of the Access Division were retained by Green, including, but not limited to, certain of the Access Division’s accounts receivable existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Access Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the Access APA, giving effect to certain adjustments, was approximately $1,756,655, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Access Closing of approximately $880,069; (b) $755,724 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Access Note 1”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a twenty-one (21) month period commencing as of the Access Closing; and (c) $120,862 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Access Note 1, the “Access Notes”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a four (4) month period commencing as of the Access Closing. Benko agreed to pay additional consideration on an annual basis for the two (2) successive twelve (12) month periods commencing as of the Access Closing, dependent on certain sales by Benko, subject to certain other conditions. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. The obligations of Benko under the Access APA and the Access Notes are guaranteed by each of a principal shareholder and an affiliate of Benko, and partially secured by certain collateral.

 

The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $71,000, net of taxes of $36,000, in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Hydraulic Cylinder Division

 

In December 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and other related documents (collectively, the “Cylinder APA”), among P&F, Green and Rosenboom Machine & Tool, Inc. (“RMT”) (an unaffiliated third party), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Hydraulic Cylinder Division to RMT. The assets sold pursuant to the Cylinder APA include, among others, property, machinery and

 

13



 

equipment, raw materials, work-in process inventory and certain intangibles. Green also sold the land and building in which the division was housed to RMT in connection with this transaction. Green received net cash proceeds of approximately $3,679,000 and a promissory note of approximately $686,000 at the closing. In addition, Green may receive additional consideration in the form of commissions through December 2009 based upon certain future sales by RMT. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, Green received approximately $108,000 and $335,000, respectively, in additional consideration. In addition, RMT agreed to hire all Green Hydraulic Cylinder Division employees in Bowling Green, Ohio and, as a result of the transaction, Green has effectively exited the hydraulic cylinder business.

 

In connection with the transaction, Green and RMT entered into an agreement which provides for RMT to purchase from Green 100% of RMT’s requirements for products of the type that constitute part of Green’s inventory of finished goods as of the acquisition date with all purchases by RMT being binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices. The term is for a period of one year from the acquisition date. RMT shall maintain for the benefit of Green the insurance policy insuring the finished goods inventory and will bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. RMT will also be responsible for all recordkeeping with respect to the inventory. After the expiration of the term, RMT is obligated to provide Green with a list of all unpurchased inventory and return such inventory to Green. Based on the terms of the agreement, Green has effectively entered into an arrangement which provides for a transfer of its inventory to RMT prior to payment, as if it had been sold to RMT, with Green recording it as an other current receivable (based on the cost of the inventory which approximated $889,000). This treatment is based on the fact that Green has effectively transferred control of the inventory to RMT. RMT’s employees maintain control of the inventory as it is located on RMT’s premises and also bears risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Also, all purchases by RMT are binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices with RMT being Green’s only customer for the one-year period.

 

The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $88,000, net of taxes of $46,000, in the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

The following amounts related to Green’s Access and Agricultural Divisions have been segregated from the Company’s continuing operations and are reported as assets of discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed balance sheets:

In connection with Countrywide’s acquisition of all of the stock of Nationwide in 2002, the Company had been 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. In July 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and amendment to the purchase agreement with Nationwide’s previous owner regarding such future contingent earnout payments. In connection therewith, the Company made a payment of $1,250,000 in full and final settlement of the outstanding and remaining contingent earnout payments. These contingent earnout payments have been treated as additions to goodwill. During 2005, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $944,000, related to contingent earnout payments.

NOTE 9 - 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, which costs are estimated based on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as 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, were as follows:

NOTE 10 – CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company received 6,418 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the exercise of options to purchase 14,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The value of these shares was recorded at $107,241.

 

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company has organized its business into three reportable business segments: tools and other products, hardware and heating products. The Company is organized around these three distinct operating

 

16



 

segments, each of which has very different end users. For reporting purposes, Florida Pneumatic and Franklin are combined in the “Tools and other products” segment, Woodmark and Nationwide are combined in the “Hardware” segment and Embassy represents the “Heating products” segment. The Franklin Manufacturing division, formerly included in the hardware segment, relocated its operations to Florida Pneumatic in the first quarter of 2005 and is now included in the “Tools and other products” segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change. The primary reasons for taking this action were for, among other things, synergies between the companies in the retail channel, principally selling to the same significant customer, and other operational synergies. The Company evaluates segment performance based primarily on segment operating income.

 

The following presents financial information by segment for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. Segment operating income excludes general corporate expenses, interest expense and income taxes. Identifiable assets are those assets directly owned or utilized by the particular business segment.

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Embassy APA”), dated as of October 11, 2005, among the Company, Embassy, Mestek, Inc. (“Mestek”) and Embassy Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mestek (“EMI”), Embassy sold substantially all of its operating assets to EMI. The assets sold pursuant to the Embassy APA include, among others, machinery and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and certain intangibles. Certain assets were retained by Embassy, including, but not limited to, cash and title to any real property owned by Embassy at the consummation of the sale to EMI. The consideration paid by EMI for the assets acquired pursuant to the Embassy APA was $8,000,000, subject to a closing adjustment, plus the assumption of certain liabilities and obligations of Embassy by EMI.

 

Pursuant to a lease, dated as of October 11, 2005, between Embassy, as landlord and EMI, as tenant, Embassy has agreed to lease certain space (approximately 60,000 rentable square feet) in the building located at 300 Smith Street, Farmingdale, NY to EMI in connection with the operation of EMI’s business, at an annual rental rate of $480,000, payable in monthly installments of $40,000 each.

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

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

 

General

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries. The Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. 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. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties identified below. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. 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.

 

All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results for the 2005 fiscal year and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:

 

The strength of the retail economy in the United States. The Company’s business is subject to economic conditions in its major markets, including recession, inflation, deflation, general weakness in retail, industrial, and housing markets.

 

The Company’s ability to maintain mutually beneficial relationships with key customers. The Company has several significant customers, including two customers that, in the aggregate, constituted approximately 28% of its consolidated revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. The loss of either of these significant customers or a material negative change in the Company’s relationships with these significant customers could have an adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations.

 

Adverse changes in currency exchange rates or raw material commodity prices. A significant amount of the Company’s products are manufactured outside the United States and purchased in the local currency. As a result, the Company is exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the United States dollar. The Company believes its most significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese yen, the Taiwan dollar, and, to a lesser extent, the euro. In addition, the Company purchases a significant amount of products from China for which it pays in U.S. dollars. As a result of the recent and potential future revaluations of the Chinese renminbi, the Company may have additional adverse exposure related to the price of future purchases.

 

19



 

Unforeseen inventory adjustments or changes in purchasing patterns by major customers and the resultant impact on manufacturing volumes and inventory levels. The Company makes its purchasing decisions based upon a number of factors including an assessment of market needs and preferences, manufacturing lead times and cash flow considerations. To the extent that the Company’s assumptions result in inventory levels being too high or too low, there could be a negative impact on its financial position and results of operations. During the second and third quarters of 2005, one of the Company’s significant customers decreased its purchasing levels in order to reduce its overall inventory levels. This pattern, which we expect to continue through the end of fiscal 2005, is expected to increase our inventory in the near term and decrease revenues and related profits from that customer. We are unable at this time, however, to quantify the impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

Unforeseen interruptions in the manufacturing ability of certain foreign suppliers. Although the Company believes there are redundant sources available and does maintain multiple sources for certain of its products, there may be costs and delays associated with securing such sources and there can be no assurance that such sources would provide the same quality of product at similar prices.

 

Market acceptance of the new products introduced in 2004 and 2005 and other products scheduled for introduction during 2005, as well as the level of sales generated from these new products relative to expectations, based on existing investments in productive capacity and commitments by the Company to fund advertising and product promotions in connection with the introduction of these new products.

 

The ability of certain subsidiaries of the Company to generate future cash flows sufficient to support the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets related to those subsidiaries.

 

Increased competition. The domestic markets in which the Company sells products are highly competitive on the basis of price, quality, availability, post-sale service and brand-name awareness. A number of competing companies are well-established manufacturers that compete on a global basis.

 

Price reductions taken by the Company in response to customer and competitive pressures, as well as price reductions or promotional actions taken in order to drive demand that may not result in anticipated sales necessary to offset the associated costs.

 

Interest rate fluctuations and other capital market conditions.

 

The effects of litigation and product liability exposures, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations, and environmental laws, in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.

 

The impact of unforeseen events, including war or terrorist activities, on economic conditions and consumer confidence.

 

20



 

This listing is not intended to be all-inclusive. There can be no assurance that the Company has correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting its business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely impact the Company. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Business

 

P&F Industries, Inc. (“P&F”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. P&F conducts its business operations through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). P&F Industries, Inc. 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, retail and automotive 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. In addition, through its Franklin Manufacturing (“Franklin”) division, Florida Pneumatic imports a line of door and window hardware. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, and through Woodmark International, L.P. (“Woodmark”), a limited partnership owned by P&F and Countrywide. Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Woodmark is an importer of builders’ hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”), was engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems and boilers until it exited that business in October 2005 (see Note 12) through the sale of substantially all of its non-real estate assets. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”), was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders until it exited that business in December 2004 through the sale of certain assets. Green also manufactured a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry until it exited that business in February 2005 through the sale of certain assets and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry until it exited that business in July 2005 through the sale of certain assets (see Note 6). Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements presents financial information for the segments of the Company’s business.

 

Overview

 

On June 30, 2004, Woodmark acquired certain assets comprising the business of the former Woodmark International L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the former Stair House, Inc., and assumed certain related liabilities. The Company’s consolidated results of operations include the results of operations for Woodmark for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 within its hardware business segment. In addition, the Company’s consolidated results of operations present Green as discontinued operations.

 

21



 

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 decreased $1,940,000, or 5.6%, from $34,589,000 to $32,649,000. Revenues increased approximately $1.1 million, or 7.5%, at Countrywide, which includes revenues at Woodmark and Nationwide. Woodmark had third quarter revenues of $10,706,000, increasing $221,000, or 2.1%, and Nationwide reported revenues of $5,116,000, increasing $890,000, or 21.1%. Revenues at Florida Pneumatic decreased $3,080,000, or 18.1%, to $13,933,000 from the comparable prior-year period primarily due to decreases in base product sales and reduction in retail promotions in the period. Revenues at Embassy were essentially flat. Gross profit decreased $265,000, or 2.7%, for the quarter primarily due to decreased revenues. Consolidated earnings from continuing operations decreased $406,000, or 24.7%, from $1,641,000 to $1,235,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain of these accounting policies require the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets and warranty reserves. The Company bases its estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these 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, 2004.

 

ACQUISITION

 

For acquisitions, results of operations are included in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

 

Woodmark International L.P.

 

On June 30, 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of such date, Woodmark, a Delaware limited partnership owned by P&F and Countrywide, acquired certain assets (the “Purchased Property”) comprising the business of the former Woodmark International L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the former Stair House, Inc., a Georgia corporation (collectively, the “Sellers”), and assumed certain of the Sellers’ related liabilities. Woodmark paid $31,898,000 to acquire the Purchased Property, which purchase price consisted primarily of $27,160,000 in cash and certain subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,408,000. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of Woodmark’s historical financial performance. Subject to certain conditions, Woodmark also agreed to pay additional cash consideration to the Sellers after the third or the fifth anniversary of the closing of the acquisition if certain financial targets described in the Asset Purchase Agreement are met. The acquisition of the Purchased Property was financed through the Company’s senior credit facility.

 

22



 

As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $8,840,000 in other identifiable intangible assets, principally related to the value of customer relationships, and approximately $12,675,000 of goodwill through September 30, 2005.

 

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Agricultural Products Division

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agricultural APA”), dated as of July 14, 2005, between Green and Benko Products, Inc. (“Benko”), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Agricultural Products Division (the “Agricultural Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the Agricultural APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment. Certain assets of the Agricultural Division were retained by Green, including, but not limited to, certain of the Agricultural Division’s accounts receivable and inventories existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Agricultural Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the Agricultural APA was $530,000, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Agricultural Closing of $225,000; (b) $25,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Agricultural Note 1”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a five (5) month period commencing as of the Agricultural Closing; and (c) $280,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Agricultural Note 1, the “Agricultural Notes”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a four (4) year period commencing as of the Agricultural Closing. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. The obligations of Benko under the Agricultural APA and the Agricultural Notes are guaranteed by each of a principal shareholder and an affiliate of Benko, and partially secured by certain collateral.

 

In connection with the transaction, Green and Benko entered into an agreement which provides for Benko to purchase from Green 100% of Benko’s requirements for products of the type that constitute part of Green’s inventory of raw materials and finished goods as of the acquisition date with all purchases by Benko being binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices. The term is for a period of one year from the acquisition date. Benko shall maintain for the benefit of Green an insurance policy insuring the inventory and will bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Benko will also be responsible for all recordkeeping with respect to the inventory. After the expiration of the term, Benko is obligated to provide Green with a list of all unpurchased inventory and return such inventory to Green. Based on the terms of the agreement, Green has effectively entered into an arrangement which provides for a transfer of its inventory to Benko prior to payment, as if it had been sold to Benko, with Green recording it as an other current receivable (based on the cost of the inventory, which approximated $373,000) in the third quarter of 2005. This treatment is based on the fact that Green has effectively transferred control of the inventory to Benko. Benko’s employees maintain control of the inventory as it is located on Benko’s premises and also bears risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Also, all purchases by Benko are binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices with Benko being Green’s only customer for the one-year period.

 

Green has effectively ceased all operating activities. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $345,000, net of taxes, in the third quarter of 2005.

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Access Division

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Access APA”), dated as of February 2, 2005, between Green and Benko Products, Inc. (“Benko”), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Access Division (the “Access Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the Access APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment, accounts receivable (“Purchased Receivables”), inventory, intellectual property and other intangibles. Certain assets of the Access Division were retained by Green, including, but not limited to, certain of the Access Division’s accounts receivable existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Access Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the Access APA, giving effect to certain adjustments, was approximately $1,756,655, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Access Closing of approximately $880,069; (b) $755,724 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Access Note 1”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a twenty-one (21) month period commencing as of the Access Closing; and (c) $120,862 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Access Note 1, the “Access Notes”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a four (4) month period commencing as of the Access Closing. Benko agreed to pay additional consideration on an annual basis for the two (2) successive twelve (12) month periods commencing as of the Access Closing, dependent on certain sales by Benko, subject to certain other conditions. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. The obligations of Benko under the Access APA and the Access Notes are guaranteed by each of a principal shareholder and an affiliate of Benko, and partially secured by certain collateral.

 

The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $71,000, net of taxes of $36,000, in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Hydraulic Cylinder Division

 

In December 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and other related documents (collectively, the “Cylinder APA”), among P&F, Green and Rosenboom Machine & Tool, Inc. (“RMT”) (an unaffiliated third party), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Hydraulic Cylinder Division to RMT. The assets sold pursuant to the Cylinder APA include, among others, property, machinery and equipment, raw materials, work-in process inventory and certain intangibles. Green also sold the land and building in which the division was housed to RMT in connection with this transaction. Green received net cash proceeds of approximately $3,679,000 and a promissory note of approximately $686,000 at the closing. In addition, Green may receive additional consideration in the form of commissions through December 2009 based upon certain future sales by RMT. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, Green received approximately $108,000 and $335,000, respectively, in additional consideration. In addition, RMT has agreed to hire all Green Hydraulic Cylinder Division employees in Bowling Green, Ohio and, as a result of the transaction, Green has effectively exited the hydraulic cylinder business.

 

In connection with the transaction, Green and RMT entered into an agreement which provides for RMT to purchase from Green 100% of RMT’s requirements for products of the type that constitute part of Green’s inventory of finished goods as of the acquisition date with all purchases by RMT being binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices. The term is for a period of one year from the acquisition date. RMT shall maintain for the benefit of Green the insurance policy insuring the finished goods inventory and will bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. RMT will also be responsible for all recordkeeping with respect to the inventory. After the expiration of the term, RMT is obligated to provide Green with a list of all unpurchased inventory and return such inventory to Green. Based on the terms of the agreement, Green has effectively entered into an

arrangement which provides for a transfer of its inventory to RMT prior to payment, as if it had been sold to RMT, with Green recording it as an other current receivable (based on the cost of the inventory which approximated $889,000). This treatment is based on the fact that Green has effectively transferred control of the inventory to RMT. RMT’s employees maintain control of the inventory as it is located on RMT’s premises and also bears risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Also, all purchases by RMT are binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices with RMT being Green’s only customer for the one-year period.

 

The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $88,000, net of taxes of $46,000, in the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

The following amounts related to Green’s Access and Agricultural Divisions have been segregated from the Company’s continuing operations and are reported as assets of discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed balance sheets:

Revenues from tools and other products decreased due primarily to approximately $1,685,000 less in retail promotions in the period, as well as a decrease in base sales of approximately $1,676,000, offset by an increase of approximately $282,000 related to new product introductions. Base sales decreased as a result of decreased purchasing activity of approximately $797,000 from a significant customer as part of a program to reduce its overall inventory levels, as well as a decrease in automotive revenues of approximately $477,000. Revenues from our automotive customers have decreased due primarily to the lack of inventory-stocking accounts that were obtained in 2004, as well as no significant new product introductions in this area in 2005. In addition, the Franklin Manufacturing division, formerly included in the hardware segment, relocated its operations to Florida Pneumatic in the first quarter of 2005 and is now included in the “Tools and other products” segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change. The primary reasons for taking this action were for, among other things, synergies between the companies in the retail channel, principally selling to the same significant customer, and other operational synergies. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged.

 

Revenues from hardware increased at both Woodmark and Nationwide. Woodmark’s revenues increased $221,000, or 2.1%. Revenues from the sale of staircase components continue to increase, benefiting from strong new housing starts. These revenues have more than offset weakness in demand for our kitchen and bath products sold into the mobile home and remodeling markets. Moreover, Nationwide’s revenues increased by approximately $890,000, or 21.1%, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $446,000 in sales of fencing products, as well as increases in our OEM hardware products of $390,000, which were due primarily to the addition of new OEM customers.

 

Revenues from heating products remained relatively unchanged for the quarterly period. Revenues from baseboard products decreased slightly despite increases in housing starts, especially in the northeast. This was due primarily to decreased construction activity in the New York City area, which represents a significant market for us. Our boiler sales increased due to the timing of certain jobs. Selling prices of certain baseboard heating products and boilers were increased late in the first quarter to offset rising costs of materials. Such price increases, which averaged approximately 7%, impacted revenues reported in the period by approximately $200,000. (See Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.)

All revenues are generated in U.S. dollars and are not impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The increase in the gross profit percentage from tools and other products was due primarily to the impact of lower margins related to greater retail promotional sales in the prior-year period, partially offset by the weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Taiwan dollar compared to the prior-year period. The increase in the gross profit percentage from hardware was due primarily to a favorable product mix in fencing revenues and a shift by Nationwide to lower-cost suppliers for some products, partially offset by some cost increases from Asian suppliers due to increases in the cost of metals. The gross profit percentage from heating products was essentially unchanged.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $342,000, or 5.0%, from approximately $6,848,000 to approximately $7,190,000. SG&A expenses increased due primarily to increased personnel-related expenses from additional personnel and west-coast expansion at Countrywide to support growth, increased freight costs due to fuel surcharges and sales territory expansion and increases related to professional fees principally for certain non-recurring M&A activities and corporate compliance and reporting requirements, offset by a reduction in certain warranty expenses. Due to decreases in revenues in the period and that certain SG&A expenses are fixed, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 19.8% to 22.0%.

 

Interest - Net

 

Net interest expense increased $112,000, or 25.6%, from approximately $437,000 to approximately $549,000, due primarily to higher average borrowings under the revolving credit loan facility to finance working capital requirements, as well as higher average interest rates during the period. Interest expense on borrowings under the term loan facility increased by approximately $48,000. Interest expense on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility increased by approximately $59,000.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates applicable to earnings from continuing operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were 42.2% and 42.5%, respectively.

Revenues from tools and other products decreased due primarily to a decrease in base sales of approximately $3,513,000 during the nine-month period, offset by an increase of approximately $2,083,000 related to new product introductions. Base sales decreased as a result of decreased purchasing activity of approximately $2,326,000 from two significant customers ($1,627,000 from one significant customer as part of a program to reduce its overall inventory levels), as well as a decrease in automotive revenues of approximately $762,000. Revenues from our automotive customers have decreased due primarily to the lack of inventory-stocking accounts that were obtained in 2004, as well as no significant new product introductions in this area in 2005. In addition, the Franklin Manufacturing division, formerly included in the hardware segment, relocated its operations to Florida Pneumatic in the first quarter of 2005 and is now included in the “Tools and other products” segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect this change. The primary reasons for taking this action were for, among other things, synergies between the companies in the retail channel, principally selling to the same significant customer, and other operational synergies. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged.

 

Revenues from hardware increased as a result of the acquisition of Woodmark in 2004, which recorded approximately $30,615,000 in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared with $10,485,000 for the comparable prior-year period which represented only one quarter of operational activity. Revenues from the sale of staircase components continue to increase, benefiting from strong new housing starts. These revenues have more than offset weakness in demand for our kitchen and bath products sold into the mobile home and remodeling markets. Moreover, Nationwide’s revenues increased by approximately $2,515,000, or 19.2%, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $1,155,000, or 14.4%, in sales of fencing products, and increases in our OEM and patio hardware products of $1,072,000, or 37.1%, and $325,000, or 14.6%, respectively, which were due primarily to the addition of new OEM customers and to greater sale of patio products resulting from reconstruction following the hurricanes in Florida last year.

 

Revenues from heating products decreased $165,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Revenues from baseboard products did not increase despite increases in housing starts, especially in the northeast. This was due primarily to decreased construction activity in the New York City area during the second quarter of 2005, which represents a significant market for us. Sales of our other heating products, excluding boilers, were also below comparable prior-period levels. Our boiler sales increased due to the timing of certain jobs. Selling prices of certain baseboard heating products and

 

28



 

boilers were increased late in the first quarter to offset rising costs of materials. Such price increases, which averaged approximately 7%, impacted revenues reported in the period by approximately $350,000. (See Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.)

 

All revenues are generated in U.S. dollars and are not impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The decrease in the gross profit percentage from tools and other products was due primarily to the impact of decreased base product business which has higher margins than those related to retail promotional sales, as well as the weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Taiwan dollar compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from hardware was due primarily to the inclusion of Woodmark for nine months in 2005 versus three months in 2004, whose gross profit percentage of approximately 31.5% was less than this segment’s comparable prior-year period average. The gross profit percentage for Nationwide, the other company in the hardware segment was 39.0%. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from heating products was due primarily to increases in steel and other raw material costs, prompting an increase in certain selling prices late in the first quarter.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,714,000, or 22.6%, from approximately $16,404,000 to approximately $20,119,000. SG&A expenses increased due primarily to the inclusion of $2,947,000 of expenses in the first half of 2005 related to Woodmark, increased compensation tied to higher profitability, increased personnel-related expenses resulting from increasing revenues, increased freight costs due to fuel surcharges and sales territory expansion, offset by a reduction in certain warranty expenses. However, due to increases in revenues and that certain SG&A expenses are fixed, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 23.9% to 22.4%.

 

Interest - Net

 

Net interest expense increased approximately $781,000, or 112%, from approximately $697,000 to approximately $1,478,000, due primarily to the amounts borrowed under the Company’s term loan facility to finance the Woodmark acquisition transaction on June 30, 2004, as well as the issuance and assumption of certain notes related thereto. Interest expense on borrowings under the term loan facility increased by approximately $530,000. Interest expense on the acquisition-related notes, which was for nine months in 2005 and three months in 2004, increased by approximately $91,000. Interest expense on

 

29



 

borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility increased by approximately $164,000, as a result of both higher average borrowings and higher average interest rates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates applicable to earnings from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were 42.2% and 41.3%, respectively. The decrease 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 positive cash flows in the fourth quarter as receivables and inventories trend down. Due to its strong asset base, predictable cash flows and favorable banking relationships, the Company believes it has adequate access to capital, if and when needed. 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:

Cash decreased $28,000, from $1,190,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $1,162,000, as of September 30, 2005. The Company’s debt levels increased, from $38,910,000 at December 31, 2004 to $41,967,000 at September 30, 2005, primarily to fund working capital needs. The Company’s total percent of debt to total book capitalization decreased from 48.6% at December 31, 2004 to 48.1% at September 30, 2005.

 

In connection with Countrywide’s acquisition of all of the stock of Nationwide in 2002, the Company was 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. In July 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and amendment to the purchase agreement with Nationwide’s previous owner regarding such future contingent earnout payments. In connection therewith, the Company made a payment of $1,250,000 in full and final settlement of the outstanding and remaining contingent earnout payments. These payments have been treated as additions to goodwill. During 2005, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $944,000, related to contingent earnout payments. (See Note 8 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.)

 

In connection with the Woodmark acquisition transaction, the Company is liable for additional payments to the sellers. The amount of these payments, which would be made as of either June 30, 2007 or June 30, 2009, are to be based on increases in earnings before interest and taxes, for the year ended on the respective date, over a base of $5,100,000. Woodmark has the option to make a payment as of June 30, 2007 in an amount equal to 48% of this increase. If Woodmark does not make this payment as of June

 

30



 

30, 2007, the Sellers may demand payment as of June 30, 2009 in an amount equal to 40% of the increase. Any such additional payments will be treated as additions to goodwill.

 

In October 2005, the Company sold substantially all of the operating assets, excluding real estate, of Embassy for $8,000,000, subject to a closing adjustment, plus the assumption of certain liabilities and obligations of Embassy by the buyer. Embassy received net cash proceeds of $7,200,000 at closing, with $800,000 held in escrow subject to post-closing adjustments and certain indemnification provisions. The Company has used the proceeds to reduce its term loan by $3,500,000 and to reduce the amount outstanding under its revolving credit facility by $3,500,000.

 

The Company has received nearly $17 million to date, including approximately $13 million in 2005 and approximately $4 million in 2004, in cash related to the sale and liquidation of certain assets of Green and Embassy. The Company anticipates generating additional cash in the future from the possible sale of Embassy’s former operating facilities, as well as the collection of various notes and possible receipt of certain contingent consideration over the next several years related to certain of the Company’s recent dispositions.

 

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,958,000 and $814,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, 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.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, gross accounts receivable increased by approximately $3,574,000 in the aggregate. Increases (decreases) were approximately $3,614,000, $1,669,000, $164,000 and $(1,873,000) at Florida Pneumatic, Countrywide, Embassy and Green, respectively. These changes were all primarily related to the respective companies’ sales volume for the period, with the exception of Green, whose reduction was principally related to the collection of outstanding accounts receivable from the discontinued operations of each of its operating divisions.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, inventories increased by approximately $4,260,000 in the aggregate. Increases (decreases) were approximately $4,041,000, $402,000, $249,000 and $(432,000) at Florida Pneumatic, Countrywide, Embassy and Green, respectively. The increase in inventories at Florida Pneumatic was due primarily to the stocking of inventory related to anticipated sales promotions with its two major customers and, in the case of Green, from the discontinuance of the business. Overall, inventory levels fluctuate quarter-to-quarter due to the timing of purchases, actual sales and anticipated sales levels.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, short-term borrowings increased by $7,500,000, primarily to fund working capital needs.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, accounts payable increased by approximately $374,000 in the aggregate. Increases (decreases) were approximately $425,000, $50,000, $2,000 and $(103,000) at Florida Pneumatic, Countrywide, Embassy and Green, respectively. These changes were all due primarily to the timing of payments associated with inventory purchases and, in the case of Green, from the discontinuance of the business.

 

On June 30, 2004, in conjunction with the Woodmark acquisition transaction, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Citibank and another bank. This agreement provides the Company with various credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions and a foreign

 

31



 

exchange line. The credit agreement is subject to annual review by the banks. An amendment to the credit agreement, dated June 24, 2005, extended the term of the agreement through June 30, 2006.

 

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 September 30, 2005, there was $11,500,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility, and there were no open letters of credit.

 

The term loan facility provides a maximum commitment of $34,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the approval of the lending banks. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. The Company borrowed $29,000,000 against this facility to finance the Woodmark acquisition transaction, and there was $22,800,000 outstanding against the term loan facility at September 30, 2005.

 

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 to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding under the foreign exchange line at September 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $1,295,000.

 

Under its credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. Certain of the Company’s mortgage agreements also require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.

 

Capital spending for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $434,000 and $944,000, respectively, which amounts were provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 2005 are expected to be approximately $180,000, some of which may be financed through the Company’s credit facilities. Included in the expected total for 2005 are capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines, geographic expansion to the west coast and replacement of equipment.

 

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 foreign currencies needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The Company has not purchased forward contracts on New Taiwan dollars or euros. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at September 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $1,295,000.

 

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 from 2004 to 2005 had a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations and its financial position. Since December 31, 2004, the relative value of the U.S dollar in relation to the Japanese yen has increased, particularly in the second and third quarters. There can be no assurance as to the future trend of this value. (See “Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”)

Item 3.                                             Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. and international exchange rates, the prices of certain commodities and currency rates as measured against the U.S. dollar and each other. 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 financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company’s gross margins through its inventory purchases and operating expenses through realized foreign exchange gains or losses. 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 contracts 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 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 September 30, 2005, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2005, to purchase Japanese yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at September 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $1,295,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s corresponding yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses a net realized loss of approximately $29,000 and a net realized gain of approximately $18,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses net realized losses of approximately $119,000 and $65,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had unrealized gains of $122,000 and $60,000 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 currency exchange rates at September 30, 2005 was approximately $151,000.

 

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. In addition to affecting operating results, adverse changes in interest rates could impact the Company’s access to capital, certain merger and acquisition strategies and the level of capital expenditures.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximate fair value as of September 30, 2005

because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for long-term debt approximate fair value as of September 30, 2005 because, in general, the interest rates underlying the instruments fluctuate with market rates.

 

Item 4.                                             Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

An evaluation was performed, under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934).

Changes in internal controls

 

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
