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 (“US 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 consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, as defined below, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. 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, 2022, 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, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the 2022 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.

The Company

P&F, a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1963, conducts its 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”).

Florida Pneumatic

Florida Pneumatic directly, and through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”), Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”), and Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”) imports, manufactures, and markets pneumatic hand tools of its own design, primarily to the retail, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets. Its products include sanders, grinders, drills, saws, and impact wrenches. These tools are similar in appearance and function to electric hand tools, but are powered by compressed air, rather than by electricity or a battery. Air tools, as they are more commonly referred to, generally offer a better power-to-weight ratio than their electrical counterparts. Florida Pneumatic imports and/or manufactures approximately 75 types of pneumatic hand tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000, under the names “Florida Pneumatic,” “Universal Tool”, “Jiffy Air Tool”, AIRCAT, NITROCAT, as well as under the trade names or trademarks of several private label customers. These products are sold to retailers, distributors, manufacturers and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers’ representatives. The AIRCAT and NITROCAT brands of pneumatic tools are sold primarily to the automotive service and repair market (“automotive market”). Users of Florida Pneumatic’s hand tools include industrial maintenance and production personnel, do-it-yourself mechanics, professional automobile mechanics and auto body personnel. Jiffy manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and components primarily to aerospace manufacturers.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

The Company - Continued

Hy-Tech

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures, and markets industrial tools, systems, gearing, accessories, and a wide variety of replacement parts under various brands including ATP, NUMATX, and Thaxton. Hy-Tech produces and sells heavy-duty pneumatic impact tools, grinders, air motors, hydro-pneumatic riveters, hydrostatic test plugs, impact sockets and custom gears, with prices ranging from $300 to $62,000.

Hy-Tech’s “Engineered Solutions” products are sold directly to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM’s”), and industrial branded products are sold through a broad network of specialized industrial distributors serving the power generation, petrochemical, aerospace, construction, railroad, mining, ship building and fabricated metals industries, among others. Hy-Tech works directly with its industrial customers, designing and manufacturing products from finished components to complete turnkey systems to be sold under their own brand names.

Hy-Tech’s “Power Transmission Group”, commonly referred to as “PTG”, produces spiral bevel and straight bevel gears along with a wide variety of other gearing. These products are sold direct to OEMs, end-users and gearbox repair companies. PTG works directly with its customers’ engineering departments to design or redesign gears or gearboxes to optimize a solution for functionality and manufacturability.

Effective January 15, 2022, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech, we acquired substantially all the non-real estate assets comprising the business of Jackson Gear Company (“JGC”), a Pennsylvania-based corporation that manufactures and distributes custom gears and power transmission gear products. This business was consolidated into PTG. and provides added market exposure into the larger gears market.

Nearly all of Hy-Tech brands are manufactured in the United States of America. Hy-Tech markets ATP branded impact sockets, striking wrenches and accessories that are imported from Asia.

COVID-19

The adverse effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, have decreased significantly, compared to the adverse effects the pandemic caused during the prior two years. The Company, however, continues to encounter supply-chain issues, most notably it continues to encounter some shipping / receiving delays of inventory from its Asian suppliers, in turn causing intermittent shortages of inventory. Additionally, while costs associated with international freight have returned to approximately pre-pandemic levels, domestic freight costs remain high. While the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have eased, the Company believes certain adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to some extent. The fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions, and, as a result, present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s results of operations.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

Going Concern Assessment

Management assesses going concern uncertainty to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period,” as defined in US GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, it considers various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and makes certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures, its ability to reduce, delay or curtail cash outflows and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Management has prepared estimates of operations covering the look-forward period and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations, working capital, and its existing credit facility to fund its operations. The Company has contingency plans in which it would further reduce or defer additional expenses and cash outlays, should operations weaken beyond current forecasts.

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business has been considered in these assumptions; however, it is unclear what the full impact of COVID-19 will be in the future or when the Company believes a return to more normal operations may occur.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had borrowing availability on its bank facility of $7,800,000. Lastly, the Company is not in default on any bank covenant and believes its relationship with the bank is good. See Note 8 – Debt, for further discussion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the Company is expected to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Customer Concentration

The Company had one customer that accounted for 22.9% and 24.3% of its consolidated accounts receivable at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Further, this customer accounted for 16.2% and 21.5% of the Company’s consolidated revenue during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. There was no other customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue during these three-month periods.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with US 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, deferred taxes and lease liabilities. Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the Company’s 2022 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 adjusts 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.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Lease Accounting

The Company adheres to the standards set forth in Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases (“ASC Topic 842”). 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.

As permitted under ASC Topic 842, if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company uses its best judgement when determining the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term to the lease payments in a similar currency.

The Company’s operating leases include vehicles, office space and the use of real property. The Company has not identified any new material finance leases during the three -month period ended March 31, 2023.

The Company considers any options to extend the term of a lease when measuring the Right-of-Use lease asset.

For the three -month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had $237,000 and $232,000, respectively, in operating lease expense.

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows reconciled to the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities:


	As of March 31, 2023
2023 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2023)	$	602,000
2024		918,000
2025		816,000
2026		691,000
2027		719,000
Thereafter		2,728,000
Total operating lease payments		6,474,000
Less imputed interest		(1,132,000)
Total operating lease liabilities	$	5,342,000

Weighted average remaining lease term		7.7	years
Weighted average discount rate		5.0	%

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are detailed in its 2022 Form 10-K. The following tables present the Company’s revenues recognized under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS /(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based only on the weighted 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 anti-dilutive.

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) income per common share:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2023		2022
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:
Net income (loss)	$	337,000	$	(618,000)

Dilutive securities (1)		—		—
Denominator for diluted earnings (loss) per share - weighted average common shares outstanding		3,195,000		3,169,000

(1)Dilutive securities consist of the “in the money” stock options. There were no “in the money” stock options at March 31, 2023. In the event of a loss, options are considered anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Restricted Stock

On May 25, 2022, the Company granted 1,250 restricted shares of its Common Stock to each non-employee member of its Board of Directors, totaling 6,250 restricted shares. The Company determined that the fair value of these shares was $5.50 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. The Company ratably amortizes the total non-cash compensation expense of approximately $34,000 to selling, general and administrative expenses during the period beginning May 2022 through May 2023.

NOTE 4 – 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 instrument’s valuation.

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

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, 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.

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 8 – 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, as amended and restated in April 2017, and further amended from time-to-time, among other things, provides the ability to borrow funds under a $16,000,000 revolver line (“Revolver”), subject to certain borrowing base criteria. Revolver borrowings are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real property, among other things. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries.

On March 24, 2023, the Company and the Bank entered into Amendment No. 11 (“Amendment 11”) to the Credit Agreement, which among other things:

●

revised the expiration date to February 8, 2027; and

●

eliminated a $1,600,000 Capex Loan line of credit.

Until the effective date of Amendment No. 10, to the Credit Agreement April 12, 2022, at the Company’s option, Revolver borrowings would bear interest at either LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the terms are defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Company was subject to limitations on the number of LIBOR borrowings. Under the terms Amendment No. 10, the Company began applying SOFR rates instead of LIBOR. The Company will continue to be subject to the number of SOFR borrowings. The change from LIBOR to SOFR did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2023, short-term or Revolver borrowing was $7,602,000, compared to $7,570,000 at December 31, 2022. The average balance of short-term borrowings during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, were $7,287,000, and $10,157,000, respectively.

The Company provides Capital One with monthly borrowing base certificates, and in certain circumstances, it is required to deliver monthly financial statements and certificates of compliance with various financial covenants. Should an event of default occur the interest rate would increase by two percent per annum during the period of default, in addition to other remedies provided to Capital One.

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and at December 31, 2022, Applicable Margin Rates, as defined in the Credit Agreement were 2.10% and 1.10%, respectively for SOFR and Base Rate borrowings. Additionally, at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there was approximately $7,800,000 and $7,687,000, respectively, available to the Company under its Revolver arrangement.

NOTE 9 – DIVIDENDS

On March 20, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend policy under which the Company intends to declare a cash dividend to the Company’s stockholders in the amount of $0.20 per share per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments. In conjunction therewith, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2023. This dividend was paid on April 6, 2023.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

OVERVIEW

During the first quarter of 2023, significant factors that impacted our results of operations were the:

●

Significant improvement in Hy-Tech revenue and gross margins;

●

Stronger gross margin at Florida Pneumatic;

●

Reduced operating expense;

●

Higher interest rates.

OUR BUSINESS

Florida Pneumatic

Florida Pneumatic directly, and through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”), Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”), and Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”) imports, manufactures, and markets pneumatic hand tools of its own design, primarily to the retail, industrial, automotive, and aerospace markets. Its products include sanders, grinders, drills, saws, and impact wrenches. These tools are similar in appearance and function to electric hand tools, but are powered by compressed air, rather than by electricity or a battery. Air tools, as they are more commonly referred to, generally offer better performance, and weigh less than their electrical counterparts. Florida Pneumatic imports and/or manufactures approximately 75 types of pneumatic hand tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000, under the names “Florida Pneumatic,” “Universal Tool”, “Jiffy Air Tool”, AIRCAT, NITROCAT, as well as under the trade names or trademarks of several private label customers. These products are sold to retailers, distributors, manufacturers and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers’ representatives. The AIRCAT and NITROCAT brands of pneumatic tools are sold primarily to the automotive service and repair market (“automotive market”). Users of Florida Pneumatic’s hand tools include industrial maintenance and production personnel, do-it-yourself mechanics, professional automobile mechanics and auto body personnel. Jiffy manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and components primarily to aerospace manufacturers.

Hy-Tech

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures, and markets industrial tools, systems, gearing, accessories and a wide variety of replacement parts under various brands including ATP, NUMATX, and Thaxton. Hy-Tech produces and sells heavy-duty pneumatic impact tools, grinders, air motors, hydro-pneumatic riveters, hydrostatic test plugs, impact sockets and custom gears, with prices ranging from $300 to $62,000.

Hy-Tech’s “Engineered Solutions” products are sold directly to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM’s”), and industrial branded products are sold through a broad network of specialized industrial distributors serving the power generation, petrochemical, aerospace, construction, railroad, mining, ship building and fabricated metals industries. Hy-Tech works directly with its industrial customers, designing and manufacturing products from finished components to complete turnkey systems to be sold under their own brand names.

Hy-Tech’s Power Transmission Group, or PTG, is a custom gear, gearbox and power transmission system manufacturer located in Punxsutawney, PA. In addition to manufacturing a broad range of standard and custom gears for manufacturers in a wide variety of industries, PTG reverse engineers existing gears as well as designs new gears, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies, including 3D imaging and Gleason Gear modeling software.

Effective January 15, 2022, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech, we acquired substantially all the non-real estate assets comprising the business of Jackson Gear Company (“JGC”), a Pennsylvania-based corporation that manufactures and distributes custom gears and power transmission gear products. This business was consolidated into PTG and provides added market exposure into the larger gears market.

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 can have an impact on the consolidated results.

We consider tariffs a key economic measure, as a significant portion of products imported by Florida Pneumatic and to a lesser degree, Hy-Tech, are subject to these tariffs. Further, we monitor transportation costs, specifically ocean freight rates, which has materially fluctuated since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lastly, 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.

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; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; 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 to established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in detail below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the 2022 Form 10-K, and in the notes to these consolidated financial statements. Certain of these accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, including, but not limited to those related to inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, 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.

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN

Although much less than during the first quarter of 2022, we continue to encounter delays in receiving inventory from our Asian suppliers, which leads to intermittent shortages of inventory. Our ocean freight costs, which had increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic have recently returned to pre-pandemic levels. The above factors continued in the first quarter of 2023 to impact our results. Lastly, we believe the following international supply chain issues have also negatively impacted our 2023 results:

●

Increased price of fuel;

●

Shortage of shipping containers;

●

Congestion at the ports in Asia and the United States.

At the present time, we believe that some or all of the above-mentioned supply chain disruptions will likely continue for some time in fiscal 2023. While we believe that most of the related costs associated with the issues discussed above have been factored into our selling price, there is no assurance that we will be able to pass through any future additional direct costs or costs incurred related to our international supply chain issues in the future.

DOMESTIC TRANSPORTATION COSTS

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, supply chain conditions continued to improve yielding lower domestic transportation costs. The availability of port to warehouse transportation services has improved significantly compared to 2022 and associated domestic freight rates have continued to moderate although rising fuel costs (diesel) have tempered rate reductions.

IMPACT OF INFLATION/GEOPOLITICAL ISSUES

We believe that the current and projected levels of inflation, as well as a possible economic recession will likely continue to have an effect on our manufacturing and operating costs. At the present time, we are unable to reasonably estimate the impact inflation and geo-political issues will have on our results of operations for the foreseeable future.

We believe that our results of operations and financial condition during 2023 were not materially impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict; however, we cannot predict what impact this conflict may have on our results in the future.

BOEING

Sales of aircraft by Boeing have been depressed since the two 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. Further, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all 737 MAX aircraft for several quarters. These events, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic reduced Boeing’s aircraft production levels to well below those prior to the pandemic and the grounding. In 2019, Boeing produced 52 737 MAX aircraft per month. It is currently still producing significantly below that level. Per Boeing, it plans to return to those levels in 2025 and expects to add a fourth 737 MAX production line in 2024. We believe that these stated plans along with the return of the Boeing 787 aircraft, which has also had production delays to full production, will be beneficial to P&F’s aerospace sales in the next several years.

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES – Continued

TECHNOLOGIES

We believe that over time, several newer technologies and features will have a greater effect on the market for our traditional pneumatic tool offerings. So far, the greatest impact has been on the automotive aftermarket with the advent of advanced cordless operated tools. Currently, we do not offer a cordless tool to the automotive aftermarket. However, with respect to the industrial market, we have developed for one of our largest OEM customers a tool mechanism that is incorporated into a major line of their cordless power tools. These tools have been in full production with our supplied system for several years and our sales of these products have continued to grow over that time. We continue to analyze the practicality of developing or incorporating newer technologies in our tool platforms for other markets as well. This includes adding our internally developed mechanisms to existing cordless power sources as well as producing complete cordless tool systems. In addition, we have recently developed a cordless installation tool for the aerospace market. We have begun taking orders for this product and we expect to introduce other versions later in 2023.

OTHER MATTERS

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

Automotive revenue declined this quarter, compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to an across-the-board price increase in all distribution channels in order to address rising input costs. This change in pricing strategy led to a decline in number of unit sales and thus overall revenue in this category. However, Automotive gross margin improved as a result of this change. The primary factors contributing to the 15.6% decline in our Retail revenue were: a) a decision by The Home Depot (“THD”) to reduce in-store inventory levels; b) a reduction in display area at THD stores; c) a net reduction in the number of items being offered by THD this quarter compared to the same three-month period in 2022, and d) increased pressure from on-line distributors, as well as and other “brick and mortar” retailers expanding their presence in this product line. Partially offsetting the above-mentioned declines our Aerospace revenue improved 35.7% when comparing the first quarter of 2023 and 2022. This improvement was driven by, among other factors, increased demand for new, limited life parts that JIFFY has begun to market, and an overall increase in demand throughout the sector for standard drilling, installation and torque control tools. Lastly, our Industrial revenue increased primarily due to improved general market conditions.

The $1.1 million increase in OEM revenue this quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2022, was driven by growth in certain markets that are served by a number of Hy-Tech’s OEM customers. The markets served by our customers include multiple industrial applications, as well as the tool rental market. PTG revenue for the first three months of 2023 more than doubled its revenue reported for the same period a year ago. This improvement was driven by the acquisition of the Jackson Gear Company business that we acquired in January 2022. The increase in Hy-Tech’s Other revenue was due to stronger NUMATX and general machining revenue growth this quarter, compared to the same three-month period in 2022. The modest decline in ATP revenue is attributable to our decision to focus our marketing efforts on OEM and PTG product offerings.

As percent of respective revenue		36.5	%		32.2	%		4.3	%	pts

During the first quarter of 2023, Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin improved compared to the same period in the prior year principally due to a shift away from the lower margin product lines, Retail and Automotive, to the higher margin, industrial and aerospace categories. Additionally, during 2022, we raised prices in all product categories.

The improvement in Hy-Tech’s gross margin is due primarily to its overall product/customer mix. Additionally, cost and expense reductions, coupled with revisions in pricing structure, enabled Hy-Tech to improve its blended gross margin, thus contributing to the overall gross margin improvement. We continue to focus on improving manufacturing overhead absorption, particularly at our PTG facility. While always ongoing, we expect the process of integrating the Jackson Gear Company acquisition to be effectively complete by approximately mid-2023.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities costs, 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.

During the first quarter of 2023, our SG&A was $5,175,000 compared to $5,173,000, incurred during the same three-month period in 2022. Significant components to the net change include: a) compensation expenses increased $223,000, due to several factors, among them being the additional staffing added throughout the Company, increased wages primarily related to retention incentives and annual wage adjustments and increases in company-wide bonus/incentive/performance accruals; b) increased depreciation and amortization of $51,000; c) professional fees and expenses decreased $140,000, due primary to legal, accounting and other fees incurred in connection with the JGC acquisition during the first quarter of 2023 not recurring in the first quarter of 2023; and d) variable expenses declined $131,000. Variable expenses include among other items, commissions, freight out, travel, advertising, shipping supplies and warranty costs. Driving this decline was lower advertising and shipping costs at Florida Pneumatic, caused primarily by lower Retail revenue this quarter and a reduction in discretionary Automotive advertising expenses, compared to the same period a year ago.

OTHER INCOME

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we recognized a gain of $21,000 from the sale of fully depreciated equipment. Additionally, as a result of final resolution of our Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) filing, we recorded an additional $15,000 as Other Income. This income is subject to federal and local tax.

INTEREST - NET

	2023		2022		Amount		%
Interest expense attributable to:
Short-term borrowings	$	124,000	$	48,000	$	(76,000)	(158.3)	%
Amortization expense of debt issue costs		19,000		4,000		(15,000)	(375.0)

Total	$	109,000	$	52,000	$	(57,000)	(109.6)	%

The most significant factor causing the increase in our short-term borrowings interest expense was the growth in the SOFR and prime rates. Most of our borrowings are SOFR plus Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin, as defined in our Credit Agreement, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was 2.10% applied to all SOFR borrowings and 1.60% applied to Base Rate borrowings. The Applicable Margins that was added to LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, were 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the SOFR rates ranged from 4.43% to 4.86%, compared to LIBOR rates, which we were used during the first quarter of 2022, that ranged from 0.10% to 0.47%. Further, the prime rate, which is the interest rate used for Base Rate borrowings before the Applicable Margin, during the first three months of 2023 ranged from 7.5% to 8.0%, compared to prime rates ranging from 3.25% to 3.50% during the same three-month period in 2022.

The amortization expense incurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 is related to the debt issue costs associated with Amendment 11 to our Credit Agreement.

The average balance of short-term borrowings during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, were $7,287,000, and $10,157,000, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

At the end of each interim reporting period, we compute an effective tax rate based upon our estimated full year results. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, were approximately a tax provision rate of 31.8% and tax benefit rate 13.4%, respectively. The effective tax rates for all periods presented were impacted primarily by state taxes, and non-deductible expenses.

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, existing working capital 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:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Working capital	$	21,073,000	$	20,838,000
Current ratio		2.57 to 1		2.44 to 1
Shareholders’ equity	$	42,184,000	$	41,956,000

Credit Agreement

Our Credit Agreement is discussed in detail in Note-8 to our consolidated financial statements. As discussed therein, we and the Bank entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility that, among other things, extended the expiration date to February 8, 2027.

At March 31, 2023, there was approximately $7,800,000 available to us under the Revolver arrangement.

Cash flows

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $790,000, compared to cash used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, of $3,972,000. At March 31, 2023, and 2022, our consolidated cash balance was $561,000, and $642,000, respectively. We operate under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. As a result, all domestic cash receipts are remitted to Capital One lockboxes. Thus, nearly all cash on hand represents funds to cover checks issued but not yet presented for payment.

Our total debt to total book capitalization (total debt divided by total debt plus equity) at both March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, was 15.3%.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we used $905,000 for capital expenditures, compared to $380,000 during the same period in the prior year. Capital expenditures currently planned for the remainder of 2023 are approximately $2,400,000, which we expect will be financed through the Credit Facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued

Cash Flows - Continued

The major portion of these planned capital expenditures will be for new metal cutting equipment, tooling and information technology hardware and software.

Our liquidity and capital are primarily sourced from the Credit Agreement, described in Note 8 – Debt, to our consolidated financial statements, and cash from operations.

Should the need arise whereby the current Credit Agreement is insufficient, we could obtain additional funds based on the value of our real property, and we believe the borrowing under the current Agreement could be increased.

Customer concentration

Refer to Note 1 – Business and summary of accounting policies – Customer Concentration for a detailed discussion.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, with respect to our cost of inventory, we encountered price increases in raw materials, imported parts and tools, ocean freight and labor. Additionally, our operating costs continue to encounter cost/price increases. It is difficult to accurately determine what portion of the above referenced increases are attributable to inflation. We have been able to pass through most of the above-mentioned price increases, however we cannot predict our ability to continue this practice, nor to what degree. We intend to continue to actively manage the impact of inflation on our results of operations; however, we cannot reasonably estimate possible future impacts at this time.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There were no new accounting standards or pronouncements that became effective during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, that had a material impact on our Consolidated financial statements.

We do not believe that any 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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023, the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective 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 ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
