NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

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

 

The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2016 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”). The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Form 10-K.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been reported in U.S. dollars by translating asset and liability amounts of a foreign wholly-owned subsidiary at the closing exchange rate, equity amounts at historical rates and the results of operations and cash flow at the average of the prevailing exchange rates during the periods reported. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation gains or losses. These gains or losses are presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as “Other comprehensive income (loss) - foreign currency translation adjustment”.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to conform to classifications used in the current year. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

 

Customer concentration

 

The Company has two retail customers that, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 accounted for 35.2% and 37.7%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. For the same three and six-month periods in 2016 these two customers accounted for 46.2% and 42.4% of the Company’s revenue.

 

The Company

 

P&F is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. Prior to February 11, 2016 (the “Nationwide Closing Date”), the effective date of the sale of its Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”) subsidiary, P&F operated in two primary lines of business or segments: (i) tools and other products (“Tools”) and (ii) hardware and accessories (“Hardware”). As a result of the sale of Nationwide, which had been reported in the Hardware segment, the Company currently only operates in the Tools business. See Note 2 to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

Tools

 

The Company conducts its Tools business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”), which in turn operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”). Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”) and Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. Effective April 5, 2017, Florida Pneumatic, through a wholly-owned subsidiary purchased substantially all of the operating assets, less certain payables of Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”). See Note 3 for further discussion. The business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech.

 

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the retail, industrial and automotive markets.  Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a product line which includes pipe and bolt dies, pipe taps, wrenches, vises and stands, pipe and tubing cutting equipment, hydrostatic test pumps, and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Lastly as the result of the acquisition of Jiffy, Florida Pneumatic now manufactures pneumatic tools marketed primarily to the aerospace sector.

 

Hy-Tech manufactures and distributes its own line of industrial pneumatic tools. Hy-Tech also produces and markets impact wrenches, grinders, drills, and motors. Further, it also manufactures tools to customer specifications. Its customers include refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, heavy construction enterprises, oil and gas and mining companies. In addition, Hy-Tech manufactures an extensive line of pneumatic tool replacement parts that are sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). It also manufactures and distributes high pressure stoppers for hydrostatic testing fabricated pipe, gears, sprockets, splines and racks.

 

Hardware

 

Prior to the Nationwide Closing Date, the Company conducted its Hardware business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). Countrywide conducted its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nationwide. Nationwide was an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware and accessories, including rollers, hinges, window operators, sash locks, custom zinc castings and door closers. Effective as of the Nationwide Closing Date, Countrywide sold Nationwide to an unrelated third party for approximately $22,200,000. See Note 2 to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in those financial statements.  Certain significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, income taxes and deferred taxes.  Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.  Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate.  As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.  Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The standard reduces complexity in several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal 2017. The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”).  The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value for entities using the first-in-first out method of valuing inventory.  ASU 2015-11 eliminates other measures required by current guidance to determine net realizable value.  ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal 2017.  The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Not Yet Adopted

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, ASC Topic 606, which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. Additional updates to Topic 606 issued by the FASB in 2015 and 2016 include the following:

 

· ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of the new guidance such that the new provisions will now be required for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017;
· ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net);
· ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements;
· ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.

 

The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. The Company intends to use the modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of completing its assessment of any significant contract and assessing the impact the adoption of the new revenue standard and related updates will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Thus far the Company does not believe the adoption of this standard and related updates will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will continue its evaluation of the standards update through the date of adoption. The standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which simplified the testing of goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public companies for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

Other than the aforementioned, the Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standard, if adopted, will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Sale of Nationwide Industries, Inc.

 

Effective as of the Nationwide Closing Date, the Company, as part of its strategic plan to focus on expanding its position in the power-tool and accessories market, sold Nationwide. On this date, P&F, Countrywide, Nationwide and Argosy NWI Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), entered into a Stock Purchase and Redemption Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, after giving effect to certain contributions and redemptions of Nationwide’s common shares (“Nationwide Shares”), the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding Nationwide Shares from Countrywide (the “Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Nationwide Shares acquired in the Acquisition was approximately $22,200,000, before giving effect to an estimated working capital adjustment, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement, of approximately $802,000 in favor of the Buyer. Further, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company placed into escrow $1,955,000 (“escrow funds”), of which $250,000 related to the final working capital adjustment. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the final working capital adjustment amount was determined to be approximately $75,000 in the Company’s favor. As a result, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, the $250,000 portion of the escrow funds was released to the Company, and the final working capital adjustment amount of $75,000 was paid to the Company by the Buyer. In connection with the Acquisition, Countrywide agreed that, should it sell the real property it owned in Tampa, Florida, (the “Premises”) it will contribute an additional $400,000 into the escrow funds. In November 2016, the Premises were sold, and as a result Countrywide contributed the additional $400,000 into the aforementioned escrow funds, which currently aggregate to approximately $2,105,000. After paying closing costs, the net cash received from the Buyer was approximately $18,700,000.

 

The escrow funds, which are classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, are to be released in August 2017, less any claims made against these escrow funds, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company believes that these escrow funds are highly collectible, and that it is more likely than not that with respect to any or all such potential claims made against the Company, these claims will not exceed the minimum dollar threshold amount of $150,000 required under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has therefore included $1,705,000 of the escrow funds in its gain on sale of Nationwide. Should claims made against the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement exceed the minimum threshold, then to the extent such claims are resolved in favor of the Buyer under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the total amount of such claims will be recorded as a loss on sale of Nationwide in future periods.

 

As Nationwide was a substantial and unique business unit of the Company, its sale was a strategic shift. Accordingly, in accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company has classified Nationwide as a discontinued operation in 2016.

 

The net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes in 2016 presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, is comprised of the following:

 

   January 1, 2016
through February
11, 2016
 
     
Revenue  $1,830,000 
Cost of goods sold   1,177,000 
Gross margin   653,000 
Selling and general and administrative expenses   483,000 
Interest expense-net   60,000 
Income before income taxes   110,000 
Income taxes   38,000 
      
Net income  $72,000 

  

The Company recognized a gain of $12,185,000, on the sale of Nationwide during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, which represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying book value of Nationwide. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 the Company incurred an additional $14,000 in expenses related to the sale. For income tax purposes, the Company’s tax basis in Nationwide was greater than the net proceeds, thus resulting in a tax loss. At the applicable tax rate of 34%, this loss has been recorded as a tax benefit of $141,000. This tax benefit may only be applied against future capital gain transactions.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION

 

On April 5, 2017 (the “Jiffy Closing Date”), Bonanza Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary (“Jiffy Buyer”) of Florida Pneumatic, Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Seller”), The Jack E. Pettit—1996 Trust, the sole shareholder of Seller and Jack E. Pettit entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Jiffy Buyer acquired (the “Jiffy Acquisition”) substantially all of the operating assets of Seller for $5,950,000, in addition to the assumption of certain payables and contractual obligations as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The purchase price was $5,950,000, less a post-closing working capital adjustment of $155,000, which was paid by Seller to the Company in June 2017. Additionally, the Seller may be entitled to up to $1,000,000 in additional consideration, which is contingent upon Jiffy achieving certain revenue thresholds and other criteria as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement within two defined measurement periods occurring within approximately the first two years following the Jiffy Closing Date.  Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”) manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and components, primarily sold to aerospace manufacturers.

 

Additionally, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” and together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”) was entered into between Seller and Bonanza Properties Corp. (“Bonanza Properties”), a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Florida Pneumatic, pursuant to which Bonanza Properties purchased certain real property of the Seller. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the purchase price for the real property was $1,050,000.

 

The initial total consideration ($5,950,000 plus $1,050,000) was paid by the Jiffy Buyer to the Seller from funds available under the Revolver, as defined in Note 10, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (defined below), less certain amounts escrowed pursuant to, among others, the terms of the Agreements.

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS (LOSS) 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 to purchase shares of Common Stock. The average market value for the period is used as the assumed purchase price.

 

The following table sets forth the elements of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

 

   Three months ended   Six months ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2017   2016   2017   2016

For diluted earnings (loss) per share -  weighted average common shares outstanding   3,720,000    3,595,000    3,605,000    3,598,000 

 

(1)Dilutive securities consist of “in the money” stock options.

 

At June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were outstanding stock options whose exercise prices were higher than the average market values of the underlying Common Stock for the period. For all periods presented, other than the three months ended June 30, 2017, options are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share. The weighted average of anti-dilutive stock options outstanding was as follows:

At June 30, 2017, there were 103,233 options outstanding issued under the 2012 Plan and 226,000 options outstanding issued under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

Restricted Stock

 

The Company, in May 2017, granted 1,000 restricted shares of its Common Stock to each non-employee member of its Board of Directors, totaling 5,000 restricted shares. The Company determined that the fair value of these shares was $6.17 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. These shares cannot be traded earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date. As such, the Company is ratably amortizing the total non-cash compensation expense of approximately $31,000 in its selling, general and administrative expenses through May 2018.

 

The Company, in May 2016, granted 1,000 restricted shares of its Common Stock to each non-employee member of its Board of Directors, totaling 5,000 restricted shares. The Company determined that the fair value of these shares was $8.72 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. These shares could not have been traded earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date. As such, the Company ratably amortized the total non-cash compensation expense of approximately $44,000 in its selling, general and administrative expenses through May 2017.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that can be assessed at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments valuation.

 

The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

 

The fair value of the Prepaid expenses and other current assets consists primarily of escrowed funds from the sale of Nationwide, which was estimated to be the same as its carrying value, based on Level 3 inputs. The Company believes the escrow will be released to the Company in August 2017, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the Seller of Jiffy, of $692,000, included in Other liabilities was determined applying Level 3 inputs. The fair value of this contingent consideration will be adjusted quarterly.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed quarterly for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

NOTE 10 – DEBT

 

In October 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with an affiliate of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”, or the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for a Revolver Loan (“Revolver”), borrowings under which are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, mortgages on its real property (“Real Property”), inventory and equipment. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries. Revolver borrowings will bear interest at either LIBOR (“London InterBank Offered Rate”) or the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, the interest rate, either LIBOR or Base Rate, which is added to the Applicable Margin, is at the option of the Company. The Company is limited as to the number of LIBOR borrowings.

 

Contemporaneously with the Jiffy Acquisition, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, effective as of the Jiffy Closing Date (the “Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”), with Capital One. The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement amended and restated the previous amendment to the Credit Agreement.

 

The Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the maximum amount the Company can borrow under the Revolver Commitment (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) to $16,000,000, subject to certain borrowing base criteria, and (2) modifying certain borrowing base criteria as well as financial and other covenants.

 

The Company provides Capital One with, among other things, monthly financial statements, and monthly borrowing base certificates. The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Company believes it is in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

 

SHORT–TERM BORROWINGS

 

The Company had no revolver borrowings at December 31, 2016; however, primarily as the result of the acquisition discussed in Note 3, of Jiffy on April 5, 2017, the Company’s Revolver balance increased to $4,537,000 at June 30, 2017. The Applicable Margins added to LIBOR borrowings at June 30, 2017 was 1.75%, compared to 1.50% at December 31, 2016. The Applicable Margins added to the Base Rate (Prime rate) borrowings at June 30, 2017 was 0.75% and 0.50% at December 31, 2016.

 

The Company purchases vehicles for use by its UAT salesforce. The current portion of the balance due relating to these vehicles is $4,000 at June 30, 2017 and $13,000 at December 31, 2016.

LONG –TERM BORROWINGS

 

The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a Term Loan A, which is secured by mortgages on the Company’s Real Property, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Term Loan A borrowings can be at either LIBOR, or at the Base Rate, or a combination of the two plus the Applicable Margins. The Applicable Margin added to LIBOR borrowings at June 30, 2017 was 1.75% and 1.50% at December 31, 2016. Applicable Margin for borrowings at the Base Rate (Prime rate) for the same timeframes was 0.75% and 0.50%, respectively. A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Nationwide repaid all but $100,000 of Term Loan A. This balance is being borrowed at the LIBOR Rate, and is included in Long-term debt, less debt issue costs on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

In accordance with ASU 2015-03, the Company reduced its long-term debt by $9,000 and $12,000, respectively, relating to debt issue costs as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

NOTE 11 – DIVIDEND PAYMENTS

 

On May 10, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors, in accordance with their dividend policy, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, which was paid on May 26, 2017, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2017. The total amount of this dividend payment was approximately $180,000. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company has paid approximately $360,000 in dividends.

 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On August 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company’s management to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. This repurchase plan is expected to go into effect during the third quarter of 2017 and expires after 12 months.

 

The repurchases are expected to be made from time to time through a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), and potentially through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Act. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors, including trading volume, timing and other constraints specified in the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of its Class A Common Stock, payable on August 25, 2017 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2017.

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

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

 

Business

 

P&F and each of its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company. Prior to February 11, 2016, (the “Nationwide Closing Date”) the effective date of the sale of its Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”) subsidiary, P&F operated in two primary lines of business or segments: (i) tools and other products (“Tools”) and (ii) hardware and accessories (“Hardware”). As a result of the sale of Nationwide, the Company currently only operates in the Tools segment. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

Tools

 

The Company conducts its Tools business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”), which in turn operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”). Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”) and Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. Effective April 5, 2017, we purchased substantially all of the operating assets, less certain payables of Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”). See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech.

 

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the retail, industrial and automotive markets. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a product line which includes pipe and bolt dies, pipe taps, wrenches, vises and stands, pipe and tubing cutting equipment, hydrostatic test pumps, and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Lastly, as the result of the acquisition of Jiffy, Florida Pneumatic now manufactures pneumatic tools marketed primarily to the aerospace sector.

 

Hy-Tech manufactures and distributes its own line of industrial pneumatic tools. Hy-Tech also produces and markets impact wrenches, grinders, drills, and motors. Further, it also manufactures tools to customer specifications. Its customers include refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, heavy construction enterprises, oil and gas and mining companies. In addition, Hy-Tech manufactures an extensive line of pneumatic tool replacement parts that are sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). It also manufactures and distributes high pressure stoppers for hydrostatic testing fabricated pipe, gears, sprockets, splines and racks.

 

Hardware

 

Prior to the Nationwide Closing Date, we conducted our Hardware business through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). Countrywide conducted its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nationwide. Nationwide was an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware and accessories, including rollers, hinges, window operators, sash locks, custom zinc castings and door closers. On the Nationwide Closing Date, Countrywide sold Nationwide to an unrelated third party for approximately $22,200,000. See Note 2 to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

KEY INDICATORS  

 

Economic Measures  

 

Much of our business is driven by the ebbs and flows of the general economic conditions in both the United States and, to a lesser extent, abroad. We focus on a wide array of customer types including, but not limited to large retailers, aerospace manufacturers, large and small resellers of pneumatic tools and parts, and automotive related customers. We tend to track the general economic conditions of the United States, industrial production and general retail sales.

 

A key economic measure relevant to us is the cost of the raw materials in our products. Key materials include metals, especially various types of steel and aluminum. Also important is the value of the United States Dollar (“USD”) in relation to the Taiwanese dollar (“TWD”), as we purchase a significant portion of our products from Taiwan. Purchases from Chinese sources are made in USD, however, if the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (“RMB”), were to be revalued against the USD, there could be a negative impact on the cost of our products. Additionally, we closely monitor the fluctuation in the Great British Pound (“GBP”) to the USD, and the GBP to TWD, both of which has had an impact on our consolidated results in 2017. In addition, we monitor the number of operating rotary drilling rigs in the United States, as a means of gauging oil production, which is a key factor in our sales into the oil and gas exploration and extraction sector.

 

The cost and availability of a quality labor pool in the countries where products and components are manufactured, both overseas as well as in the United States, could materially affect our overall results.

 

 21 

 

 

Operating Measures  

 

Key operating measures we use to manage our operations are: orders; shipments; development of new products; customer retention; inventory levels and productivity. These measures are recorded and monitored at various intervals, including daily, weekly and monthly. To the extent these measures are relevant; they are discussed in the detailed sections below.

 

Financial Measures  

 

Key financial measures we use to evaluate the results of our business include: various revenue metrics; gross margin; selling, general and administrative expenses; earnings before interest and taxes; operating cash flows and capital expenditures; return on sales; return on assets; days sales outstanding and inventory turns. These measures are reviewed at monthly, quarterly and annual intervals and compared to historical periods as well as established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detailed sections below for each operating segment.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the 2016 Form 10-K. Certain of these accounting policies require us 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, we evaluate estimates, including, but not limited to those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserves and taxes and deferred taxes. We base our 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. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.  Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Key factors or events impacting our second quarter 2017 results of operations were:

 

Acquisition of the Jiffy Air Tool, Inc.’s business

 

Decline in Florida Pneumatic’s Retail and Automotive revenue

 

Improved gross margins at Hy-Tech – (increase of 11.2 percentage points from second quarter 2016)

 

Expenses related to the Jiffy Acquisition

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Continuing operations

 

Unless otherwise discussed elsewhere in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our relationships with our key customers and suppliers remain satisfactory. The global oil and gas exploration and extraction have been the primary market of Hy-Tech, which until recently has begun to show signs of improving. Further, there remains a persistent weakness in the other markets that Hy-Tech serves, most notably power generation and construction.

 

We have elected not to renew our supply agreement with Sears, which will expire on September 30, 2017. While Sears remains at or close to complying with its payment terms to Florida Pneumatic, this difficult decision was based on a number of factors including Sears’ continuing financial difficulties, the sale of the Craftsman brand to Stanley Black & Decker and our level of working capital exposure in relation to our return on that investment pertaining to Sears. It is anticipated that our Sears inventory exposure should be eliminated by September 30, 2017 and that all accounts receivable should be collected by December 31, 2017. However, at the present time, there can be no assurance that we will fully recover our working capital exposure.

 

We believe in the near future that some more technically advanced battery operated hand tools will begin to satisfy certain customer applications where pneumatic tools have typically been used.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Continuing operations - (Continued)

 

Other than the aforementioned, there are no major trends or uncertainties that had, or we could reasonably expect could have a material impact on our revenue, nor was there any unusual or infrequent event, transaction or any significant economic change that materially affected our results of operations.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, we sold Nationwide to an unrelated third party for approximately $22,200,000. As a result of this transaction, Nationwide’s 2016 results are reported under discontinued operations. Please see Note 2 - Discontinued Operations, to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

As discussed in Note 3 - Acquisition, to our consolidated financial statements, effective April 5, 2017 we acquired the Jiffy business. We believe Jiffy’s aerospace based revenue will be a significant component of Florida Pneumatic’s future revenue, and as such we will present and discuss “aerospace” revenue independent of Florida Pneumatic’s other lines of business going forward.

 

Ninety-six percent of the decline in Florida Pneumatic’s second quarter 2017 Retail revenue was due primarily to the reduction in shipments to Sears this quarter, compared to the same period in 2016. As discussed above, we elected not to renew an agreement with Sears, which is to expire on September 30, 2017. We believe the decline in Automotive revenue this quarter compared to the same three-month period in 2016 was the result of a major automotive parts distributor adjusting their inventory levels. Additionally, contributing to the lower Automotive revenue, was a decline in revenue from our UAT division headquartered in the United Kingdom, where its revenue declined approximately $171,000 when comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. Lastly, our Industrial/catalog revenue increased slightly, compared to the same period a year ago; we believe that activity in this sector has begun to improve, however no assurance can be given that this trend will continue.

 

With respect to our year to date results, 91% of the decline in our Retail revenue was due primarily to the reduction in shipments to Sears, compared to the same period in 2016. During the first six months of 2016 there was a roll-out of new tools to The Home Depot, which did not occur in 2017, accounting for the decline in year-to-date revenue from The Home Depot. When comparing our Automotive revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, more than 82% of the decline occurred during the fiscal second quarter and was discussed previously. Our Industrial/catalog revenue, while sluggish during the first three months of 2017, has begun to see slight improvement during the second quarter of 2017. The acquisition of Jiffy has enabled us to approach the aerospace sector with a much stronger brand. As a result, our six-month revenue for this sector, has expanded nearly eight-fold.

 

Hy-Tech

 

Hy-Tech focuses primarily on the industrial sector of the pneumatic tools market.  Hy-Tech manufactures and markets its own value-added line of air tools and parts, including the ATSCO product line, as well as distributes a complementary line of sockets, which in the aggregate are referred to as “ATP”. Hy-Tech Machine also manufactures products primarily marketed to the mining, construction and industrial manufacturing sectors. These products along with gears, sprockets, splines, and hydraulic stoppers are aggregated as “Other”.

Significant components contributing to the increase in second quarter 2017 ATP revenue, compared to the same period in 2016, include growth in Hy-Tech’s ATP parts business and a resurgence in activity from a large customer acquired in the ATSCO acquisition that had placed little to no orders for several quarters. Additionally, in 2016 we began to pursue alternate markets where we believed we could exploit our manufacturing expertise, and develop different applications for our tools, motors and accessories. We believe the development of this new marketing strategy will provide an opportunity to generate revenue from the new markets in 2017 and beyond. Revenue from these new markets during the second quarter of 2017 was approximately $298,000. Although Hy-Tech’s second quarter 2017 revenue has increased compared to the first quarter of 2017, we believe that there continues to be an excess inventory of tools and spare parts in the distribution channels. Additionally, we believe that the turn-around activities in the oil and gas sector continue to lag, compared to historic levels, further negatively impacting Hy-Tech’s revenue. Lastly, we believe lower-priced imported tools and spare parts are also adversely impacting the marketplace. Lastly, Hy-Tech has recently begun to develop a new marketing strategy that is intended to re-energize the gear and hydraulic stopper business.

 

The fluctuation in Hy-Tech’s revenue for the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was primarily due to the decline in ATP revenue from a large customer that was acquired in the ATSCO acquisition greatly reducing its purchases in the first quarter of 2017, compared to its purchases during the first quarter of 2016. The decision by this customer to cease placing orders began sometime in mid-2016. However, as discussed above this customer began to purchase products during the second quarter of 2017. Further, shipments of the very low gross margin tools declined, contributing to the reduction in ATP revenue. A major component of Hy-Tech’s revenue is derived from the oil and gas sector. Currently, oil and gas sector revenue accounts for approximately 30% to 35% of Hy-Tech’s total revenue. This revenue stream is driven by a number of factors, such as, the number of off-shore rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico, “turn-arounds” or plant maintenance activities and, to a lesser extent, land rigs. We believe the lag in turn-around activities and a growing presence of lower-priced imported tools and spare parts are impacting this marketplace. Further, as discussed earlier, Hy-Tech is currently pursuing alternate markets where it believes it can exploit its manufacturing expertise, and develop different applications for its tools, motors and accessories. Revenue from these new sources during the first six months of 2017 was approximately $501,000, and is included in the ATP grouping. At June 30, 2017, Hy-Tech had more than $590,000 in open orders for products within this new initiative. Lastly, Hy-Tech’s total backlog at June 30, 2017, increased approximately 65%, compared to its backlog at June 30, 2016.

Florida Pneumatic’s second quarter of 2017 gross margin declined when compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to customer and product mix. There were no significant changes in our cost structure or selling price. Jiffy’s gross margin approximates that of Florida Pneumatic’s other non-retail product lines.

 

Florida Pneumatic’s overall gross margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 is essentially the same as the gross margin for the same period in 2016.

 

Hy-Tech’s 2017 second quarter gross margin increased 11.2 percentage points, a 56.3% improvement over the same period a year ago. Factors contributing to the positive change include, among other things: (a) in the second quarter of 2016, we reviewed certain components of Hy-Tech’s inventory and determined that it was necessary to lower the carrying value, which resulted in lower gross margin and gross profit, (b) during the second quarter of 2016, Hy-Tech’s overhead absorption was diminished primarily due to reduced manufacturing, negatively impacting that quarter’s results, and (c) lastly, during the first six months of 2016, we were shipping a line of very low gross margin tools to a major customer. During the second quarter of 2017, shipments for the low gross margin tools declined compared to the prior year. Additional factors contributing to the improvement in Hy-Tech’s gross margin include such things as improved overhead absorption as manufacturing activity has increased, inventory turns are healthier, which in turn reduces charges for slow moving inventory, and the sale of the low margin tools has been lower this year compared to the prior year. However, there is a balance of these low margin tools that we believe will be shipped sometime during 2017; however it is difficult to predict exactly when this customer will request the completion of the order.

 

Hy-Tech’s gross margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, improved 5.9 percentage points, when compared to the same period a year ago. In addition to the primary factors to this improvement discussed above, gross margin on the products being sold under its new marketing initiative are slightly below its historical range. However we believe that as volume of these products increases, manufacturing expertise will improve, thus increasing margin.

 

Selling and general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, (“SG&A” or “operating expenses”) include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead and certain engineering expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Continuing operations - (Continued)

 

During the second quarter of 2017, our SG&A was $5,366,000, compared to $5,154,000 for the same three-month period in 2016. The increase was due in large part to acquisition of Jiffy in April 2017, which added approximately $450,000 to our SG&A. Other significant components of the change include: (i) a $33,000 reduction in non-Jiffy compensation expenses, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives, associated payroll taxes and employee benefits; (ii) a decrease in variable expenses of $208,000, due primarily to lower Retail revenue; (iii) a decrease in corporate related expenses of $40,000; and (iv) a reduction in amortization and depreciation expenses of $69,000, due mostly to the reduction in Hy-Tech’s intangible assets, which were written down in 2016. The reductions were partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $172,000, most of which was incurred as the result of the Jiffy acquisition.

 

Our SG&A for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 was $10,413,000, compared to $10,173,000 for the same period in 2016. As noted above the most significant component to the net increase was the addition of Jiffy’s SG&A of $450,000. Other significant components include reductions in: (i) non-Jiffy compensation expenses of $45,000; (ii) variable expenses of $220,000 due primarily to lower Retail revenue; (iii) depreciation and amortization of $176,000, due mostly to the reduction in Hy-Tech’s intangible assets, which were written down in 2016; and (iv) corporate related expenses of $104,000. The reductions were partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $438,000, which include fees and expenses related to the Jiffy acquisition and recruitment fees for executive positions at Hy-Tech.

 

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets

 

During the second quarter of 2016, we determined that an interim impairment analysis of the goodwill recorded in connection with Hy-Tech and ATSCO was necessary. As a result of the aforementioned, it was determined that Hy-Tech's short and long-term projections at that time had indicated an inability to generate sufficient discounted future cash flows to support the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets necessitating the impairment charge. Accordingly, adhering to current accounting literature, we recorded an impairment charge of $8,311,000 relating to goodwill and other intangible assets during the second quarter of 2016.

 

Other income – net

 

The real property that generated $18,000 and $32,000 of Other income – net during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, was sold in November 2016. As such, there is no income of a similar nature for 2017. Other income of $24,000 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 is due to the receipt of the balance of an escrow related to the sale of the real property that was located in Tampa, Florida and used by Nationwide Industries Inc. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Primarily the result of the sale of Nationwide and the real property located in Tampa, Florida, occurring in February and November 2016, respectively, our total bank borrowings, during the first quarter of 2017, were minimal. However, as discussed in Note 3 - Acquisition, to our consolidated financial statements, on April 5, 2017, we purchased the net assets of Jiffy and real property located in Carson City, Nevada. The funding for this transaction was from our Revolver Loan, which is our short-term borrowing. As the result, our short-term interest expense incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 increased over the second quarter of 2016.

 

In accordance with accounting guidance we have reported our short-term and term loan interest expense incurred during the period January 1, 2016 through February 11, 2016, which was the effective date of sale of Nationwide, in Discontinued operations. Further, as the result of the Company and Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”, or the “Bank”) agreeing to significantly modify the Credit Agreement, as defined below, we were required to write down and recognized as interest expense, the debt issue costs associated with the then existing Credit Agreement. As such, $38,000 is included in amortization expense of debt issue costs in our interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the sale of Nationwide. See Liquidity and Capital Resources elsewhere in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section for further information regarding our bank loans.

 

Our average balance of short-term borrowings during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $6,011,000 and $3,073,000, respectively, compared to $2,978,000 and $4,103,000, respectively, during the same periods in 2016.

 

Income taxes

 

At the end of each interim reporting period, we estimate an effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit applicable to continuing operations, on a year-to-date basis, and may change in subsequent interim periods. As a result, our effective tax rate applicable to continuing operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2017 was 0% and 35.3%, respectively. For the same periods in 2016 our effective tax rate applicable to continuing operations was 34.3%. The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods were affected primarily by state taxes, non-deductible expenses and foreign tax rate differentials.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Discontinued operations - 2016

 

Nationwide’s results of operations in our consolidated financial statements and Note 2, presents their revenue and cost of goods sold for the period January 1, 2016 through February 11, 2016. The SG&A incurred during the same period includes that of Nationwide plus $19,000 of expenses incurred at the corporate level that is specifically attributable to Nationwide. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we included, as part of discontinued operations, all interest expense incurred attributable to our Bank borrowings during the period January 1, 2016 through February 11, 2016. We recognized a gain of $12,171,000, on the sale of Nationwide. This gain represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying value of Nationwide. 

  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We monitor such metrics as days’ sales outstanding, inventory requirements, inventory turns, estimated future purchasing requirements and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs, as well as evaluate return on assets. Our primary sources of funds are operating cash flows and our Revolver Loan (“Revolver”) with our Bank.

 

We gauge our liquidity and financial stability by various measurements, some of which are shown in the following table:

 

   June 30, 2017   December 31, 2016 
Working Capital  $24,291,000   $28,373,000 
Current Ratio   3.49 to 1    5.60 to 1 
Shareholders’ Equity  $47,387,000   $47,590,000 

 

Credit facility

 

In October 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with an affiliate of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”, or the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for Revolver borrowings, which are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, mortgages on its real property (“Real Property”), inventory and equipment. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries.

 

At our option, Revolver borrowings will bear interest at either LIBOR (“London InterBank Offered Rate”) or the Base Rate, as the term is defined in the Credit Agreement, plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The interest rate, either LIBOR or Base Rate, which is added to the Applicable Margin, is at our option. We are limited in the number of LIBOR borrowings.

 

Contemporaneously with the acquisition of the Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. business discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, effective as of the Closing Date (the “Jiffy Amendment”), with Capital One. The Jiffy Amendment amended and restated the previous amendment to the Credit Agreement.

 

The Jiffy Amendment, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the maximum amount we can borrow under the Revolver Commitment (as defined) from $10,000,000 to $16,000,000, subject to certain borrowing base criteria, and (2) modifying certain borrowing base criteria as well as financial and other covenants.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES – (Continued)

 

The net funds of approximately $18,700,000 provided by the sale of Nationwide in 2016 were used to pay down the Revolver, Capex loans and the Term Loan A; however, we and the Bank agreed to have $100,000 remain outstanding under the Term Loan A, rather than pay it off in full, thus providing the Company and Capital One the ability to potentially increase future term loan borrowings more efficiently and at lower costs.

 

Primarily the result of the Jiffy acquisition, our Revolver borrowing at June 30, 2017 increased to $4,537,000, compared to no short term borrowings at December 31, 2016. Revolver borrowings can be at either LIBOR or at the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement with Capital One. Applicable LIBOR Margins in effect at June 30, 2017, was 1.75%, compared to 1.50% at December 31, 2016. The Applicable Base Rate Margins in effect as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were 0.75% and 0.50%, respectively.

 

Cash flows

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, our net cash decreased to $1,269,000 from $3,699,000 at December 31, 2016.   Our total bank debt at June 30, 2017, driven by the Jiffy acquisition, which was discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, was $4,637,000, compared to $100,000 at December 31, 2016. The total debt to total book capitalization (total debt divided by total debt plus equity) at June 30, 2017 was 8.9%, compared to 0.2% at December 31, 2016.

 

In March 2016, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of a dividend policy under which the Company intends to declare quarterly cash dividends to its stockholders in the amount of $0.05 per quarter. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, our Board of Directors voted to approve the payment of two quarterly dividends. As such, in February 2017, and May 2017, we paid a $0.05 per share dividend to the shareholders of record as of February 6, 2017, and May 22, 2017. The aggregate of such dividend payments was approximately $360,000. Our Board of Directors expects to maintain the dividend policy, however, the future declaration of dividends under this policy is dependent upon several factors, which includes such things as our overall financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors our board may deemed relevant.  

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, we used $358,000 for capital expenditures, compared to $766,000 during the same period in the prior year.  Capital expenditures for the balance of 2017 are expected to be approximately $560,000, some of which may be financed through our credit facilities or financed through independent third party financial institutions. The remaining 2017 capital expenditures will likely be for machinery and equipment, tooling and computer hardware and software.

 

We believe that net cash flows from operations, available borrowings under our current Credit Facility should provide sufficient cash to fund our consolidated cost structure for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. Additionally, we anticipate the receipt in August 2017 of approximately $2.1 million that has been held in escrow in connection with the sale of Nationwide.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES – (Continued)

 

Customer concentration

 

Florida Pneumatic has two customers, Sears and The Home Depot that, in the aggregate, at June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, accounted for 48.1% and 53.5%, respectively of our accounts receivable. To date, these customers remain at or close to complying with their payment terms. Further, these two customers in the aggregate, accounted for 35.2% and 37.7%, respectively, of our revenue for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to 46.2% and 42.4% for the same three and six-month periods in 2016.

 

As previously mentioned we have elected not to renew an agreement with Sears, which will terminate September 30, 2017. We believe the loss of Sears’s revenue will have a negative impact on our financial condition, but will not affect our ability to remain a going concern. 

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Refer to Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting standards and pronouncements.

 

We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other than the aforementioned, we do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standard, if adopted, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

We are currently evaluating what if any impact there will be on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows upon the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and related updates thereto.

 

Other than the aforementioned, we do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standard, if adopted, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated, as of June 30, 2017, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, which were designed to be effective at the reasonable assurance level. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at that date.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
