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 and related products 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.

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 (“OEMs”), 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 directly 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, have decreased significantly, compared to the adverse effects the pandemic caused during the prior two years. The Company, however, continues to encounter intermittent supply-chain issues, most notably shipping and receiving delays of inventory from its Asian suppliers, in turn causing shortages of inventory. While the negative effects that the Company was encountering during the COVID-19 pandemic in general have eased, it is difficult for the Company to be certain that the inventory issue discussed above is in fact COVID-19 related.

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.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had borrowing availability on its bank facility of $9,324,000. 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 24.7% and 24.3% of its consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Further, this customer accounted for 18.1% and 27.1% of the Company’s consolidated revenue during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and 17.1% and 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. There was no other customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue during these 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. 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 June 30, 2023.
The Company considers any options to extend the term of a lease when measuring the right-of-use lease asset.
For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $237,000 and $474,000, respectively, in operating lease expense, and $240,000 and $471,000, respectively, for the same three and six-month periods in 2022.
The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows reconciled to the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, there were no accounting pronouncements or other authoritative guidance issued or that became effective, that had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 presented. 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:

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 could not have been traded earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date. The Company ratably amortized 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 June 30, 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:
● | extended the expiration date to February 8, 2027; and |
● | eliminated a $1,600,000 Capex Loan line of credit. |
Under the terms of Amendment No. 10, to the Credit Agreement, dated April 12, 2022, the Company began applying Secured Overnight Financing Rate, (“SOFR”) SOFR rates instead of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, (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 June 30, 2023, short-term or Revolver borrowing was $5,340,000, compared to $7,570,000 at December 31, 2022. The average balance of short-term borrowings during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, were $7,060,000 and $7,173,000, respectively, compared to $11,544,000 and $10,855,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued
OVERVIEW
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, significant factors that impacted our results of operations were the:
● | Significant improvement in gross margin at both Hy-Tech and Florida Pneumatic. |
● | Decline in Florida Pneumatic’s Retail revenue. |
● | 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 and related products 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”), 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued
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 revenue recognition, 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.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Although much less than during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we continue to encounter delays in receiving inventory from our Asian suppliers, which leads to intermittent shortages of inventory. Our ocean and domestic freight costs, which had increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, are slowly approaching pre-pandemic levels.
DOMESTIC TRANSPORTATION COSTS
Although domestic transportation costs and associated issues discussed in prior filings have improved, compared to the prior year, they remain above pre-pandemic levels. The availability of port to warehouse transportation services has also improved compared to 2022.
At the present time, we believe that some or all of the above-mentioned uncertainties may continue for some time. 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.
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 the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, have not been 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, a Jiffy customer, 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 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 shipments, 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 an additional version 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 the number of unit sales and thus overall revenue in this category. However, Automotive gross margin improved as a result of this change. With respect to our Retail revenue, during the second quarter of 2022 we shipped a stocking rollout, with no such new product rollout occurring during 2023. Additionally, The Home Depot (“THD”) continued its efforts that began earlier this year of: a) reducing the number of individual stock keeping units offered, as well as the quantity of each; b) reducing the display area of their pneumatic tools, and c) 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 36.0% when comparing the second quarter of 2023 to the same period in 2022. This improvement was driven by, among other factors, increased demand for new consumable parts, that Jiffy has begun to market, and improved market conditions in both the commercial and military aviation. Lastly, we believe the fall-off in Industrial revenue was driven by economic uncertainty and concerns of rising inflation and concerns of a possible recession.
Florida Pneumatic’s six-month revenue analysis is quite similar to that of its second quarter 2023. When compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, Automotive revenue declined 12.6%, due primarily to our revised pricing and marketing changes put into effect mid-2022. As will be discussed later in this discussion and analysis, this change contributed to an overall improvement in Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin. The significant factors causing the decline in our Retail revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 was the product rollout that occurred in the second quarter of 2022 with no such event occurring during 2023. This year-over-year decline was also driven by THD’s decisions to lower its inventory of floor display space this year. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, Aerospace revenue increased 34.6%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The improvement was driven by resurgence in both the commercial and military components of the Aerospace sector, and increased demand for the new, consumable parts that Jiffy has begun to market.

The net improvement in Hy-Tech’s revenue this quarter, compared to the same three-month period in 2022, was driven by the 10% growth of PTG’s revenue. This improvement is due to improved manufacturing efficiency and an increase in new business. Additionally, its OEM revenue improved 5.3%, due primarily to improving market conditions. The above improvements were partially offset by a decline in its ATP revenue. This decline in ATP revenue is attributable to our decision to focus our marketing efforts on OEM and PTG product offerings. 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 25.4% year-to-date increase in Hy-Tech’s total revenue was primarily driven by its first quarter results. The approximate $1.2 million increase in OEM revenue 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2023, increased 45.7% when compared to the same period in the prior year. This improvement was driven by the acquisition of the Jackson Gear Company business 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.

Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, improved compared to the same period in the prior year principally due to a shift away from their lower margin Retail and Automotive product lines to the higher margin, Industrial and Aerospace categories. Further, during the latter half of 2022, we raised prices in all product categories, which contributed to the improved gross margin.
During the second fiscal quarter of 2023 Hy-Tech’s gross margin increased 8.1 percentage points, when compared to the same period in 2022. This improvement was due primarily to product/customer mix. Additionally, as was the case for our first quarter 2023 results, Hy-Tech continued to pursue cost and expense reductions, and coupled with revisions in pricing structure, enabled Hy-Tech to improve its blended gross margin, thus contributing to the overall gross margin improvement.
As with its results for the quarter, Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, improved compared to the same period in the prior year principally due to a shift away from their lower margin product lines to the higher margin, categories. Further, during the latter half of 2022, we raised prices in all product categories, which contributed to the improved gross margin. This change in marketing strategy and pricing adjustments led to a 4.3 percentage point year-to-date improvement over the same period in the prior year.
The improvement in Hy-Tech’s six-month gross margin is due primarily to product/customer mix. Further, during this period, Hy-Tech was able to reduce manufacturing costs and expenses. Also as noted above, beginning in 2022, Hy-Tech modified its pricing structure, which enabled Hy-Tech to improve its gross margin. Additionally, Hy-Tech will continue to focus on improving manufacturing overhead absorption, particularly at its PTG facility.

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 second quarter of 2023, our SG&A was $5,368,000 compared to $5,479,000, incurred during the same three-month period in 2022. Significant components to the net change include a) compensation expenses increased $6,000; b) stock-based compensation decreased $38,000; c) professional fees and other expenses (i.e. accounting, legal, consulting, etc.) had net increase of $186,000; and d) variable expenses declined $281,000. 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.
Our SG&A for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, was $10,543,000, compared to $10,652,000 for the same six-month period a year ago. Key components of this net decline include among other things a reduction in variable expenses of $315,000, due primarily to lower Retail sales, and lower stock-based compensation of $39,000. The above-mentioned reductions were partially offset by increases in compensation expenses of $112,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $70,000, and $100,000 of professional fees and other expenses.
OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME) - net
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a net expense of $4,000, which was primarily due to a loss on the disposal of equipment. 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. The ERTC income is subject to federal and local tax.
Other expense recorded during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, consisted primarily of adjustments to the fair value of certain assets during the second quarter of 2022.

INTEREST – NET-Continued
The most significant factor causing the increase in our short-term borrowings interest expense this quarter, compared to the same three-month period in 2022, was the increase 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 June 30, 2023, was 2.10% applied to all SOFR borrowings and 1.10% applied to Base Rate borrowings. The Applicable Margins that were added to LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, were 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively. Driven by the general increase in the cost of short-term borrowing rates, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the SOFR ranged from 4.76% to 5.15%, compared to LIBOR, which we were using during the second quarter of 2022 that ranged from 0.43% to 1.51%. The Prime Rate during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, ranged from 8.00% to 8.25%, compared to a range of 3.5% to 4.00%, during the same period a year ago.
The average balance of short-term borrowings during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, were $7,060,000, and $11,544,000, respectively.
As discussed in Note 8, in late March 2023, we and the Bank amended the Credit Agreement, and as a result, we wrote off the balance of the unamortized debt issue cost as of the date of Amendment No.11 during the first quarter of 2023. The Debt issue costs incurred in connection with the above-referenced Amendment No. 11, are being amortized through the expiration date of credit Agreement, which is February 2027.
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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, were approximately 33.4% and 32.5%, respectively, and for the same periods in 2022, the effective tax rates were a tax expense of 138.2% and a tax benefit of 3.0%, 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 source of funds is our Revolver loan with our Bank.
We gauge our liquidity and financial stability by various measurements, some of which are shown in the following table:
| June 30, 2023 |
| December 31, 2022 | |||
Working capital | $ | 21,245,000 | $ | 20,838,000 | ||

Credit Agreement
Our Credit Agreement is discussed 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 June 30, 2023, there was approximately $9,324,000 available to us under the Revolver arrangement.
Cash Flows
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $4,234,000, compared to cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, of $1,154,000. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our consolidated cash balance was $657,000, and $667,000, 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 June 30, 2023, was 11.2%, compared to 15.3% at December 31, 2022.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we used $1,682,000 for capital expenditures, compared to $923,000 during the same period in the prior year. Capital expenditures currently planned for the remainder of 2023 are approximately $1,300,000, which we expect will be financed through the Credit Facility.
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 believe we could obtain additional funds based on the value of our real property and believe the borrowing under the current Agreement could be increased.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued
IMPACT OF INFLATION
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, with respect to our cost of inventory, we encountered price increases in raw materials, 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 June 30, 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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
