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 its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”), Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”), Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”) and Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”). 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. Embassy is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems. 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 and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry until it exited that business in July 2005. Green has effectively ceased all operating activities. (See Notes 6 and 12 regarding disposition of certain assets related to Green’s exit from the hydraulic cylinder, access equipment and agricultural equipment businesses.) 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.

 

7



 

The results of operations for Green’s Hydraulic Cylinder and Access divisions 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 (Unaudited) 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

 

9



 

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.

 

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. No options were granted, and there was no pro forma compensation expense, during the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

 

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 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 June 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 June 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $3,073,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and

 

10



 

2004, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses a net realized gain of approximately $12,000 and a net realized loss of approximately $14,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses net realized losses of approximately $90,000 and $83,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had unrealized gains of $76,000 and $27,000 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 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.

 

11



 

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 as of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. 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. – Access Division

 

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

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the APA was approximately $1,837,715, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Closing of approximately $880,069; (b) $836,783 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Note 1”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a twenty-one (21) month period commencing as of the Closing; and (c) $120,862 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Note 1, the “Notes”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a four (4) month period commencing as of the Closing. Benko agreed to pay additional consideration on an annual basis for the two (2) successive twelve (12) month periods commencing as of the 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 APA and the 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 “Agreement”), 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 Agreement 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

 

12



 

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- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, Green received approximately $119,000 and $227,000, 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. Within 5 days of 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 division 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 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 2005, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $359,000, related to contingent earnout payments. In July 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and amendment to purchase agreement with Nationwide’s previous owner regarding future contingent earnout payments. In connection therewith, the Company made a payment of $1,250,000 in full and final settlement of the remaining contingent earnout payments.

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company has organized its business into four reportable business segments: tools and other products, hardware, agricultural equipment and heating products. The Company is organized around these four distinct operating 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, Green represents the “Agricultural equipment” 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- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Segment operating income excludes general corporate expenses, interest expense

 

15



 

and income taxes. Identifiable assets are those assets directly owned or utilized by the particular business segment.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “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 “Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment, intellectual property and other intangibles. Certain assets of the Division were retained by Green, including, but not limited to, certain of the Division’s accounts receivable and inventories existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the APA was $530,000, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Closing of $225,000; (b) $25,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Note 1”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a five (5) month period commencing as of the Closing; and (c) $280,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Note 1, the “Notes”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a four (4) year period commencing as of the Closing. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. The obligations of Benko under the APA and the 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 the insurance policy insuring the finished goods 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. Within 5 days of 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 expects to record a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of 2005.

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, 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.

 

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 26% of its consolidated revenues for the six-month period ended June 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.

 

  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

 

18



 

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 quarter 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 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.

 

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

 

19



 

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 its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”), Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”), Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”) and Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”). 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. Embassy is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems and boilers. 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 and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry until it exited that business in July 2005. (See Notes 6 and 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements regarding disposition of certain assets related to Green’s exit from the hydraulic cylinder, access equipment and agricultural equipment businesses.) 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 six months ended June 30, 2005 within its hardware business segment. In addition, the Company’s consolidated results of operations present Green’s hydraulic cylinder and access divisions as discontinued operations.

 

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased $12,802,000, or 70.8%, from $18,089,000 to $30,891,000. Revenues increased at three of the four subsidiaries, with the greatest increase at Countrywide, which includes revenues at Woodmark and Nationwide. Woodmark, which was acquired by the Company on June 30, 2004, had second quarter revenues of $9,919,000 and Nationwide reported a $701,000, or 12.6%, increase in revenues. Revenues at Florida Pneumatic increased $2,317,000, or 24.0%, from the comparable prior-year period primarily due to the certain retail

 

20



 

promotions in the period and increases from new product introductions, offset by a decrease in base sales. There was a $157,000, or 6.5%, decrease in revenues at Embassy. Gross profit increased for the quarter, due primarily to increased revenues. Gross profit increases were offset, in part, due to increases in the cost of raw materials and the cost of imported product due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the yen and Taiwan dollar compared to the prior-year period. Consolidated earnings from continuing operations increased $616,000, or 76.2%, from $809,000 to $1,425,000 for the quarter ended June 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.

 

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 June 30, 2005.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Agricultural Division

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “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 “Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment, intellectual property and other intangibles. Certain assets of the Division were retained by Green, including, but not limited to, certain of the Division’s accounts receivable and inventories existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the APA was $530,000, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Closing of $225,000; (b) $25,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Note 1”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a five (5) month period commencing as of the Closing; and (c) $280,000 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Note 1, the “Notes”), dated July 14, 2005, payable in equal monthly amounts over a four (4) year period commencing as of the Closing. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. The obligations of Benko under the APA and the 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 the insurance policy insuring the finished goods 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. Within 5 days of 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 expects to record a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $500,000 in the third quarter of 2005.

 

Green Manufacturing, Inc. – Access Division

 

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “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 “Division”) to Benko. The assets sold pursuant to the APA include, among others, certain machinery and equipment, accounts receivable (“Purchased Receivables”), inventory, intellectual property and other intangibles. Certain assets of the Division were retained by Green, including, but not

 

22



 

limited to, certain of the Division’s accounts receivable existing at the consummation of the sale to Benko (the “Closing”).

 

The purchase price paid by Benko in consideration for the assets acquired pursuant to the APA was approximately $1,837,715, consisting of (a) a payment to Green at Closing of approximately $880,069; (b) $836,783 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (“Note 1”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a twenty-one (21) month period commencing as of the Closing; and (c) $120,862 payable pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note (collectively with Note 1, the “Notes”), dated February 2, 2005, payable in various amounts over a four (4) month period commencing as of the Closing. Benko agreed to pay additional consideration on an annual basis for the two (2) successive twelve (12) month periods commencing as of the Closing, dependent on certain sales by Benko, subject to certain other conditions. In addition, Benko assumed certain of Green’s contractual obligations. Pursuant to the APA, and subject to certain conditions, Benko has the option to return, and Green must purchase, certain delinquent Purchased Receivables. The obligations of Benko under the APA and the 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 “Agreement”), 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 Agreement 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- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, Green received approximately $119,000 and $227,000, 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. Within 5 days of 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

 

23



 

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 division 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 increased due primarily to approximately $2,791,000 in retail promotions in the period, as well as an increase of approximately $798,000 related to new product introductions, offset by a decrease in base sales of approximately $1,159,000. Base sales decreased as a result of decreased purchasing activity of approximately $587,000 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 $190,000. 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 significantly as a result of the acquisition of Woodmark, which recorded approximately $9,919,000 in revenues during the second quarter of 2005. 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 $701,000, or 12.6%, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $264,000 in sales of fencing products, and increases in our OEM and patio hardware products of $284,000, or 26.2%, and $153,000, or 19.4%, 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 agricultural equipment increased primarily due to the addition of a new customer.

 

Revenues from heating products decreased $157,000, or 6.5%, for the quarterly period. 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, which represents a significant market for us. In addition, certain customers bought inventory ahead of the price increases that were instituted late in the first quarter. Our boiler sales increased due to the timing of certain jobs and we remain actively engaged in the bidding process for several large projects, the nature of which can cause revenues to fluctuate quarter to quarter. 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 $150,000.

 

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 lower margins related to retail promotional sales, as well as the weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen and 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, whose gross profit percentage of approximately 31.8% 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 40.2% for the second quarter of 2005. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from agricultural equipment was due primarily to increases in raw material costs which were not able to be recovered through increased selling prices, as well as increased costs associated with the temporary outsourcing of our manufactured products. The increase in the gross profit percentage from heating products was due primarily to a favorable product mix and the impact of an increase in certain selling prices late in the first quarter which partially offset increases in steel and other raw material costs.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $1,971,000, or 40.2%, from approximately $4,902,000 to approximately $6,873,000. SG&A expenses increased due primarily to the inclusion of $1,503,000 of expenses related to Woodmark, increased compensation of approximately $286,000 tied to higher profitability and increases related to professional fees, mainly related to corporate compliance and reporting requirements, increased personnel-related expenses resulting from increasing revenues, offset by a reduction in certain warranty expenses. However, due to increases in revenues and considering that certain SG&A expenses are fixed, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 27.1% to 22.2%.

 

Interest - Net

 

Net interest expense increased $363,000, or 263%, from approximately $139,000 to approximately $502,000, 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 $249,000 and interest expense on the acquisition-related notes approximated $34,000. Interest expense on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility increased by approximately $73,000, as a result of both higher average borrowings and higher average interest rates.

 

Taxes on Income

 

The effective tax rates applicable to earnings from continuing operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were 43.0% and 39.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was

due primarily to an increase in expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Revenues from tools and other products increased due primarily to approximately $1,829,000 in incremental retail promotions during the six-month period, as well as an increase of approximately $1,801,000 related to new product introductions, offset by a decrease in base sales of approximately $1,405,000 and the loss of a significant customer in late 2003. Base sales decreased as a result of decreased purchasing activity of approximately $830,000 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 $286,000. 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.

Revenues from hardware increased significantly as a result of the acquisition of Woodmark, which recorded approximately $19,910,000 in revenues during the first half of 2005. 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 $1,624,000, or 18.4%, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $709,000 in sales of fencing products, and increases in our OEM and patio hardware products of $642,000, or 32.7%, and $273,000, or 16.5%, 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 agricultural equipment increased primarily due to the addition of a new customer.

 

Revenues from heating products decreased $205,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. Revenues from baseboard products did not increase despite increases in housing starts, especially

 

27



 

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, including boilers, were also below comparable prior-period levels. However, we have actively engaged in the bidding process for several large projects, the nature of which can cause revenues to fluctuate quarter to quarter. 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 $150,000.

 

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 hardware was due primarily to the inclusion of Woodmark, whose gross profit percentage of approximately 33.2% 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 38.7%. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from agricultural equipment was due primarily to increases in raw material costs which were not able to be recovered through increased selling prices, as well as increased costs associated with the temporary outsourcing of our manufactured products. 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 $3,417,000, or 35.7%, from approximately $9,584,000 to approximately $13,001,000. SG&A expenses increased due primarily to the inclusion of $2,947,000 of expenses related to Woodmark, increased compensation of approximately $499,000 tied to higher profitability and increases related to professional fees, mainly related to corporate compliance and reporting requirements, increased personnel-related expenses resulting from increasing revenues, offset by a reduction in certain warranty expenses and certain non-recurring legal expenses that were incurred in the prior year. However, due to increases in revenues and considering that certain SG&A expenses are fixed, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 27.4% to 22.3%.

 

28



 

Interest - Net

 

Net interest expense increased $669,000, or 257%, from approximately $260,000 to approximately $929,000, 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 $482,000 and interest expense on the acquisition-related notes approximated $67,000. Interest expense on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility increased by approximately $105,000, as a result of both higher average borrowings and higher average interest rates.

 

Taxes on Income

 

The effective tax rates applicable to earnings from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were 42.1% and 38.9%, 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 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 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Cash increased $1,243,000, from $1,190,000 as of December 31, 2004 to $2,433,000, as of June 30, 2005. The Company’s debt levels increased, from $38,910,000 at December 31, 2004 to $39,745,000 at June 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 47.6% at June 30, 2005.

 

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 first half of 2005, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $359,000, related to contingent earnout payments. In July 2005, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and amendment to purchase agreement with Nationwide’s previous owner regarding future contingent earnout payments. In connection therewith, the Company made a payment of $1,250,000 in full and final

 

29



 

settlement of the remaining 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, 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.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $74,000 and $1,438,000 for the six-month periods ended June 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 first half of 2005, gross accounts receivable increased by approximately $355,000 in the aggregate. Increases (decreases) were approximately $1,548,000, $(1,715,000), $802,000 and $(280,000) at Countrywide, Green, Florida Pneumatic and Embassy, 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 its hydraulic cylinder and access equipment divisions.

 

During the first half of 2005, inventories increased by approximately $4,565,000 in the aggregate. Increases (decreases) were approximately $4,245,000, $122,000, $261,000 and $(63,000) 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. Overall, inventory levels fluctuate quarter-to-quarter due to the timing of purchases, actual sales and anticipated sales levels.

 

During the first half of 2005, short-term borrowings increased by $4,500,000, primarily to fund working capital needs.

 

During the first half of 2005, accounts payable increased by approximately $1,668,000 in the aggregate. Increases (decreases) were approximately $1,651,000, $81,000, $(85,000) and $21,000 at Florida Pneumatic, Countrywide, Embassy and Green, respectively. These changes were all due primarily to the timing of payments associated with inventory purchases.

 

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 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 June 30, 2005, there was $8,500,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility, and there were no open letters of credit.

 

30



 

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 $23,500,000 outstanding against the term loan facility at June 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 June 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $3,073,000.

 

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 June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.

 

Capital spending for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $293,000 and $650,000, respectively, which amounts were provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 2005 are expected to be approximately $400,000, 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 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 June 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $3,073,000.

 

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 quarter. There can be no assurance as to the future trend of this value. (See “Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”)

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

See Note 5 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report.

 

31



 

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 June 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 June 30, 2005, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $3,073,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s corresponding yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses a net realized gain of approximately $12,000 and a net realized loss of approximately $14,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses net realized losses of approximately $90,000 and $83,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had unrealized gains of $76,000 and $27,000 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 June 30, 2005 was approximately $355,000.

 

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 June 30, 2005 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported

 

32



 

for long-term debt approximate fair value as of June 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). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 (this “Report”), in timely alerting them to all material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries that is required to be included in this Report.

 

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.
