The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries. The Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "will," and similar expressions identify statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. Any forward-looking statements contained herein, including those related to the Company's future performance, are based upon the Company's historical performance and on current plans, estimates and expectations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties identified in Item 7. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
ITEM 1. Business
P&F Industries, Inc. ("P&F") is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. P&F conducts its business operations through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation ("Florida Pneumatic"), Countrywide Hardware, Inc. ("Countrywide"), Green Manufacturing, Inc. ("Green") and Embassy Industries, Inc. ("Embassy"). P&F Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the "Company."
Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial, retail and automotive markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division ("Berkley"), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. ("Nationwide"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, through its Franklin Manufacturing ("Franklin") division and through Woodmark International, L.P. ("Woodmark"), a limited partnership owned by P&F and Countrywide. (See Note 2 to the Notes to Financial Statements for information regarding the June 2004 Woodmark acquisition transaction.) Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Franklin imports a line of door and window hardware. Woodmark is an importer of builders' hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. Green was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders until it exited that business in December 2004 through the sale of certain assets. (See Note 3 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) Green also manufactured a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry until it exited that business in February 2005 and continues to market a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry. (See Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the disposition of certain assets related to Green's exit from the access equipment business.) Embassy is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems and boilers. Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presents financial information for the segments of the Company's business.
Florida Pneumatic has one major customer, Sears, Roebuck and Co., that accounted for 20.6%, 22.0% and 22.3% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Home Depot, Inc. is a customer of both Florida Pneumatic and Countrywide, and
1
accounted for 16.5%, 18.1% and 18.3% of consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Revenues derived from countries outside of the United States were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Florida Pneumatic
Florida Pneumatic imports or manufactures approximately fifty types of pneumatic hand tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000, under the names "Florida Pneumatic" and "Universal Tool," as well as under the trade names or trademarks of several private label customers. This line of products includes 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 directly by electricity. Air tools, as they are also called, are generally less expensive to operate, offer better performance and weigh less than their electrical counterparts.
Most of Florida Pneumatic's sales are of pneumatic tools imported from Japan and Taiwan, along with sales of some products imported from mainland China. Florida Pneumatic manufactures high-speed rotary and reciprocating pneumatic tools at its factory in Jupiter, Florida and imports air filters.
Florida Pneumatic's products are sold to distributors, retailers and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives. Users of Florida Pneumatic's hand tools include industrial maintenance and production staffs, do-it-yourself mechanics, automobile mechanics and auto body personnel.
Berkley markets a product line consisting of pipe and bolt dies, pipe taps, pipe and tubing cutter wheels and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Florida Pneumatic markets Berkley's products through industrial distributors and contractors.
The primary competitive factors in the pneumatic tool market are price, service and brand-name awareness.
Three customers accounted for 45.2%, 42.2% and 40.5%, 32.4%, 37.4% and 30.5%, and 1.2%, 9.9% and 12.0% of Florida Pneumatic's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Florida Pneumatic's products are sold off the shelf, and no material backlog of orders exists. The business is not seasonal, but it may be subject to significant periodic changes resulting from holiday sales promotions by customers.
Florida Pneumatic purchases all of its pneumatic tools from a Far East trading company that owns or represents 18 individual factories in Japan, Taiwan and China. Of the total pneumatic tool purchases, approximately 40% are bought from Japan, 45% from Taiwan and 15% from China. There are redundant sources for every product manufactured.
Countrywide
Countrywide conducts its business through Nationwide, Woodmark and Franklin.
Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware, including rollers, hinges, window operators, sash locks, custom zinc castings and door closers.
Most of Nationwide's sales are of products imported from Taiwan and China. Nationwide currently purchases approximately 80% of its product from two foreign suppliers. Although there are redundant sources available for substantially all products manufactured, the loss of either of these existing suppliers could, at least temporarily, adversely affect operating results. Nationwide manufactures rollers, screen doors, hinges and pool enclosure products at its factory in Tampa, Florida.
2
Nationwide's products are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives to distributors, retailers and OEM customers. End users of Nationwide's products include contractors, home builders, pool and patio distributors, OEM/private label customers and general consumers.
One customer accounted for 10.9% of Nationwide's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 while two customers accounted for 13.0% and 10.5%, and 13.0% and 7.6%, of Nationwide's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Nationwide's sales are somewhat seasonal, with revenues increasing approximately 35% during the spring and summer months. The majority of Nationwide's products are sold off the shelf. The backlog at December 31, 2004, of approximately 25% of annual sales, results primarily from blanket customer orders.
The primary competitive factors in Nationwide's business are price, quality, product availability and service.
Woodmark is an importer of iron and wood stair parts and residential plumbing fixtures and other accessories for new construction and home improvement applications.
Woodmark purchases all of its stair parts and kitchen and bath products from a Far East trading company that owns or represents 11 individual factories in China, Taiwan and Indonesia. Of the total stair parts and kitchen and bath products purchases, approximately 68% are bought from China, 26% from Taiwan and 6% from Indonesia. There are redundant sources for every product manufactured.
Woodmark's stair products are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives to a) traditional one- and two-step distributors of construction components who in turn sell to carpenters, home builders and the retail channel, b) distributors who specialize in stair parts and staircase installation and c) stair parts manufacturers who outsource certain components from other manufacturers. Woodmark's residential plumbing fixtures are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives to plumbing wholesalers and distributors, purchasing cooperatives and OEMs in the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industry.
No customer accounted for more than 10% of Woodmark's revenues for the six-month period since its acquisition through December 31, 2004.
The primary competitive factors in Woodmark's business are price, quality and product availability.
Franklin imports and packages approximately 225 types of hardware products, including locksets, deadbolts, door and window security hardware, rope-related hardware products and fire escape ladders. Franklin's products generally range in price from under $1.00 to $30.00, and are sold to retailers, wholesalers and private label accounts through manufacturers' representatives and in-house sales support personnel. Nearly all of Franklin's sales are of products imported from China.
Two customers accounted for approximately 39.2%, 39.2% and 36.9%, and 16.5%, 20.9% and 23.2% of Franklin's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The primary competitive factors in Franklin's business are price, service, skill in packaging and point-of-sale marketing.
Franklin's products are sold off the shelf, and no material backlog of orders exists. Sources of imported products are readily available. Franklin's business is not seasonal.
Green
Green was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders until it exited the cylinder business in December 2004 through the
3
sale of certain of its assets, including property, equipment and certain inventories, to a non-affiliated third party in the industry. (See Note 3 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) Prior to the sale, all of Green's hydraulic cylinders were sold for use as integrated components on a variety of equipment and machinery manufactured by others. This product line accounted for 69% of Green's revenues in 2004.
Until February 2005, Green also manufactured a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical and bulk storage industries. This product line, which accounted for approximately 22% of Green's revenues in 2004, consisted of bridges, platforms, walkways and stairways, constructed of steel or aluminum and generally installed outdoors. In February 2005, Green exited the access equipment business and sold certain of its assets, including equipment, inventories and certain accounts receivable, to a non-affiliated third party. (See Note 15 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Green also markets a small line of diggers used primarily as attachments to small tractors for light farm work. This product line, which accounted for approximately 9% of Green's revenues in 2004, is marketed through farm equipment dealers and wholesalers.
Embassy
Embassy's baseboard heating products are sold nationally, under the Embassy name and under its Panel-Track, Commercial-Pak, Ambassador, System 6 and Hide-a-Vector trademarks, for use in hot-water heating systems installed in single family homes, multi-unit dwellings and commercial and industrial buildings. Embassy's products are sold principally to wholesalers by manufacturers' representatives and in-house sales personnel. Embassy's products are also sold to other manufacturers for incorporation into their products and for distribution on a private-label basis.
Hot-water heating systems operate by heating water in a boiler and circulating it through the copper tubing in the baseboard along the perimeter of the space to be heated. Attached to the copper tubing are numerous closely-spaced aluminum fins that dissipate the heat. Sections are two to ten feet in length, project several inches from the wall and rise less than a foot from the floor. These sections may be combined for longer installations. Embassy's baseboard contains patented plastic tracks, which ease handling and reduce operating noise.
Embassy also imports a line of radiant heating systems. These systems are different from baseboard heating systems in that the radiant heating systems radiate heat provided by hot water circulating through plastic tubing, which is generally installed beneath the surface of the floor. These systems include the tubing, manifolds, controls and installation supplies. Embassy also provides computer software that aids in the design of the system. Sales of radiant heating products accounted for approximately 20.5%, 21.0% and 20.6% of Embassy's total heating equipment revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of Embassy's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 or 2002.
Baseboard and radiant heating systems differ from forced hot-air and electric heating systems. Forced hot-air systems, utilizing sheet metal ducts, carry excessive dust and noise throughout the home. Ineffective spot heating also occurs as a result of the relatively small terminal registers at the end of each duct. Conversely, baseboard hot water perimeter heating minimizes noise while blanketing exterior walls in each room with convection heat. By design, both radiant and baseboard heating systems also avoid sudden temperature fluctuations that happen with the "on and off" cycling typical of hot-air blowers. Radiant heat offers the additional benefit of comfortably heated floors, while minimizing the noise and dirt common with hot-air ducted heat. Electric heating systems are generally more expensive to operate than baseboard and radiant heating systems. Radiant heating systems are generally the most expensive of these systems to install and therefore tend to be installed more often in custom and higher priced homes. Because Embassy's products are used primarily in new installations, its sales are related to housing starts.
4
The primary competitive factors in the baseboard and radiant heating market are quality, price, service and brand-name awareness.
Embassy's baseboard heating products are sold off the shelf, and no material backlog of orders exists. Raw materials are readily available. The business is somewhat seasonal, with approximately 55% of Embassy's heating equipment revenues coming in the last six months of the year.
Employees
The Company employed 257 persons as of December 31, 2004, including six at corporate headquarters. Countrywide had no employees. Florida Pneumatic had 65 employees, Nationwide had 34 employees, Woodmark had 53 employees and Green had 27 employees. These employees are not represented by a union. Embassy had 72 employees, including 40 factory workers who are covered by a single-employer union contract that expires on November 30, 2007. The Company believes that its relationships with its employees are satisfactory. In February 2005, Green exited its access equipment business and reduced its workforce by 25 employees.
ITEM 2. Properties
In connection with the acquisition of Nationwide in 2002, Countrywide purchased the real property and the improvements thereon in which Nationwide conducts its business. Countrywide leases part of its facility to a non-affiliated tenant. Florida Pneumatic and Embassy each own the plant facilities that they occupy. Countrywide owns the plant facility occupied by Nationwide. Each of these facilities is subject to a mortgage. Woodmark leases its two plant facilities from non-affiliated landlords with lease terms expiring in June 2008 and May 2010, respectively. Green sold its plant facility in December 2004.
Florida Pneumatic's 72,000 square foot plant facility is located in Jupiter, Florida. Nationwide's 56,250 square foot plant facility is located in Tampa, Florida. Woodmark's 60,000 square foot plant facility is located in Plano, Texas and its 46,000 square foot plant facility is located in Austell, Georgia. Embassy's 75,000 square foot plant facility is located in Farmingdale, New York. Each facility either provides adequate space for the operations of the respective subsidiary for the foreseeable future or can be modified or expanded to provide additional space. The Company's executive offices are located in Embassy's facility in Farmingdale, New York.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various actions brought about in the ordinary course of conducting its business. The Company does not believe that any of these actions are material to the financial position of the Company.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries. The Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "will," and similar expressions identify statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. Any forward-looking statements contained herein, including those related to the Company's future performance, are based upon the Company's historical
7
performance and on current plans, estimates and expectations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties identified below. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results for the 2005 fiscal year and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to:
- •
- The strength of the retail economy in the United States. The Company's business is subject to economic conditions in its major markets, including recession, inflation, deflation, general weakness in retail, industrial, and housing markets.
- •
- The Company's ability to maintain mutually beneficial relationships with key customers. The Company has several significant customers, including two customers that, in the aggregate, constituted approximately 37% of its consolidated revenues for 2004. The loss of either of these significant customers or a material negative change in the Company's relationships with these significant customers could have an adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations.
- •
- Adverse changes in currency exchange rates or raw material commodity prices. A significant amount of the Company's products are manufactured outside the United States and purchased in the local currency. As a result, the Company is exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the United States dollar. The Company believes its most significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese yen, the New Taiwan dollar, and, to a lesser extent, the euro.
- •
- Unforeseen inventory adjustments or changes in purchasing patterns by major customers and the resultant impact on manufacturing volumes and inventory levels. The Company makes its purchasing decisions based upon a number of factors including an assessment of market needs and preferences, manufacturing lead times and cash flow considerations. To the extent that the Company's assumptions result in inventory levels being too high or too low, there could be a negative impact on its financial position and results of operations.
- •
- Unforeseen interruptions in the manufacturing ability of certain foreign suppliers. Although the Company believes there are redundant sources available and does maintain multiple sources for certain of its products, there may be costs and delays associated with securing such sources and there can be no assurance that such sources would provide the same quality of product at similar prices.
- •
- Market acceptance of the new products introduced in 2004 and other products scheduled for introduction in 2005, as well as the level of sales generated from these new products relative to expectations, based on existing investments in productive capacity and commitments by the Company to fund advertising and product promotions in connection with the introduction of these new products.
- •
- The ability of certain subsidiaries of the Company to generate future cash flows sufficient to support the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets related to those subsidiaries.
- •
- Increased competition. The domestic markets in which the Company sells products are highly competitive on the basis of price, quality, availability, post-sale service and brand-name
8
- •
- Price reductions taken by the Company in response to customer and competitive pressures, as well as price reductions or promotional actions taken in order to drive demand that may not result in anticipated sales necessary to offset the associated costs.
- •
- Interest rate fluctuations and other capital market conditions.
- •
- The effects of litigation and product liability exposures, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- •
- Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations, and environmental laws, in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
- •
- The impact of unforeseen events, including war or terrorist activities, on economic conditions and consumer confidence.
awareness. A number of competing companies are well-established manufacturers that compete on a global basis.
This listing is not intended to be all-inclusive. There can be no assurance that the Company has correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting its business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely impact the Company. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
OVERVIEW
The Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased 32.9% to $103.6 million, compared to $78.0 million for the 2003 fiscal year. Although revenues increased at all subsidiaries, the greatest increase was at Countrywide, resulting primarily from the inclusion of $19.7 million in revenues from Woodmark, acquired on June 30, 2004, and to an increase in sales in the fencing product line of Nationwide. Overall gross profit margin decreased from 33.2% to 31.0% even as the revenue volume increased principally due to a) the inclusion of Woodmark, which had an overall gross margin lower than the Company's 2003 average, b) increases in the cost of raw materials, particularly steel, and c) the increased cost of imported product due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen, the New Taiwan dollar ("NTD") and the euro. Profits improved overall, when comparing earnings from continuing operations, from $3,913,741 to $4,238,245, or approximately 8.3%.
KEY INDICATORS
Economic Measures
Key economic measures relevant to the Company include the cost of metals, especially various types of steel, aluminum and copper. Also important is the value of the dollar in relation to the Japanese yen, the NTD and, to a lesser extent, the euro, as the Company spends approximately $20 million in these currencies annually. Key elements for the demand for the Company's products include retail sales and housing starts, especially in the northeast and south.
At the end of 2003 and through 2004, the Company experienced an increase in the cost of most types of steel and aluminum and products predominantly comprised of steel. This was first attributed to the tariffs imposed on imported steel, but more recently has been driven by excess demand in Asia.
9
Most tariffs appear to have eased and, thus, should not impact the cost of steel going forward; however, it is unclear if or when the demand-driven price increase will dissipate.
During 2004, the value of the U.S. dollar decreased in relation to the euro, the Japanese yen and the NTD. When comparing the change in the weighted average value of the Company's foreign currency purchases in 2004 compared to 2003, the decrease in the value of the dollar was approximately 9.3% in relation to the euro, approximately 5.4% in relation to the Japanese yen and approximately 2.1% in relation to the NTD. The net weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the Japanese yen and the NTD in 2004 resulted in an increase in the cost of imported product from Europe, Japan and Taiwan of approximately $731,000. Although there can be no certainty, the Company does not expect these rates to return to the early 2004 levels in the next year.
In 2004, retail sales improved over 2003, and strong housing demand continued in the northeast and south. Any change in the trend for these indicators in 2005 is likely to have an impact on results.
Operating Measures
Key operating measures utilized by the Company to manage its operating segments are orders, sales, development projects pipeline, potential customer lists, 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 for each operating segment.
Financial Measures
Key financial measures utilized by the Company to evaluate the results of its business include: sales, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses, earnings before interest, taxes and bonus, operating cash flows and capital expenditures, return on sales, return on assets, days sales outstanding and inventory turns. These measures are reviewed at monthly, quarterly and annual intervals and compared to historical periods as well as established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detailed sections for each operating segment.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain of these accounting policies require the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets and warranty reserves. The Company bases its estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company's critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company sells its goods on terms which transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, typically shipping point, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods. Revenue recognition from product sales occurs when all factors are met, including transfer of title and risk of loss, which occurs either upon shipment by the Company or upon
10
receipt by customers at the location specified in the terms of sale. Other than standard product warranty provisions, the Company's sales arrangements provide for no other, or insignificant, post-shipment obligations. The Company does offer rebates and other sales incentives, promotional allowances or discounts, from time to time and for certain customers, typically related to customer purchase volume, all of which are fixed or determinable and are classified as a reduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale. The Company periodically evaluates whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, the Company has experienced little, if any, sales returns. If the Company believes there are potential sales returns, the Company would provide any necessary provision against sales.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Analysis of customer history, financial data and the overall economic environment is performed. In addition, balances outstanding for more than 90 days are evaluated for possible inclusion in the accounts receivable reserve. Collection agencies are also utilized.
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. The Company also records as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and the Company's assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in the creditworthiness of any of these customers could have a material affect on the Company's results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2004 was adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The inventory balance, which includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs, is recorded net of an allowance for obsolete or unmarketable inventory. Such allowance is based upon both historical experience and management's understanding of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand. In addition, items in inventory in excess of one year's usage are compared to the allowance for adequacy. If the actual amount of obsolete or unmarketable inventory significantly exceeds the estimated allowance, the Company's cost of sales, gross profit and net earnings would be significantly affected.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company's operational policy for the assessment and measurement of any impairment in the value of goodwill and other intangible assets that is other than temporary is to evaluate at least annually, with the help of independent third-party appraisers if necessary, the recoverability and remaining life of its goodwill and other intangible assets to determine their fair value. The methodologies to be used to estimate fair value include the use of estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, earnings and cash flows. If the fair value of any of these assets is determined to be less than its carrying value, the Company will reflect the impairment of any such assets through a reduction in its carrying value, in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.
11
On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews changes in market conditions, among other factors, that could have a material impact on its estimates of fair value in order to reassess the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company's annual impairment test, done as of November 30, 2004, indicated that the fair values exceeded the carrying amounts and, as a result, no adjustment for impairment was deemed necessary.
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which requires that goodwill not be amortized, but tested annually for impairment. The Company adopted SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and, in accordance therewith, ceased amortizing its goodwill as of that date.
The Company had its goodwill tested for impairment, effective January 1, 2002, during the second quarter of 2002. The impairment tests performed required that the Company determine the fair market value of its reporting units for comparison to the carrying value of their net assets to assess whether any impairment existed. The methodologies used to estimate fair market value involved the use of estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, earnings and cash flows.
The Company's earnings forecast for Green, which reflected the extremely weak market conditions in the hydraulic cylinder business, resulted in the fair market value of Green's goodwill, as determined by an independent third-party appraiser, being lower than its carrying value as of December 31, 2001. Accordingly, in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded, retroactive to January 1, 2002, an after-tax impairment charge of approximately $3.2 million, which is reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle resulting from the adoption of SFAS 142.
ACQUISITIONS
Results of operations reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements are included from the dates of the respective acquisitions, reflecting only eight months in 2002 for Nationwide and only six months in 2004 for Woodmark.
Nationwide Industries, Inc.
On May 3, 2002, Countrywide acquired all of the stock of Nationwide for approximately $10,452,000, plus an additional payment in 2002 for a working capital adjustment of approximately $259,000. In addition to the cash paid at the closing, the Company is liable for contingent earnout payments to Nationwide's previous owner, in amounts equal to 30% of the excess of Nationwide's earnings, before amortization of intangible assets, interest and taxes, over $2,500,000, for each of the five twelve-month periods subsequent to the acquisition date. These contingent earnout payments have been and will be treated as additions to goodwill. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of Nationwide's historical financial performance. This acquisition was financed through the term loan facility available under the Company's credit agreement. (See Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $6,968,000, including approximately $259,000 related to the working capital adjustment described above, approximately $561,000 related to acquisition costs and acquisition-related expenses, approximately $150,000 related to contingent earnout payments and approximately $972,000 related to a deferred tax liability associated with intangible assets that were part of the acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $489,000 and $351,000, respectively, related primarily to contingent earnout payments. (See Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
12
On May 24, 2002, in connection with the acquisition of Nationwide, Countrywide also purchased, for $2,500,000, the real property and the improvements thereon in which Nationwide conducts its business. This purchase was financed primarily through a mortgage loan, in the amount of $2,024,000, from a bank.
Woodmark International L.P.
On June 30, 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of such date, Woodmark, a Delaware limited partnership owned by P&F and Countrywide, acquired certain assets (the "Purchased Property") comprising the business of the former Woodmark International L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the former Stair House, Inc., a Georgia corporation (collectively, the "Sellers"), and assumed certain of the Sellers' related liabilities. Woodmark paid $31,898,000 to acquire the Purchased Property, which purchase price consisted primarily of $27,160,000 in cash and certain subordinated notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,408,000. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of Woodmark's historical financial performance. Subject to certain conditions, Woodmark also agreed to pay additional cash consideration to the Sellers after the third or the fifth anniversary of the closing of the acquisition if certain financial targets described in the Asset Purchase Agreement are met. The acquisition of the Purchased Property was financed through the Company's senior credit facility. (See Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $8,840,000 in other identifiable intangible assets, principally related to the value of customer relationships, and approximately $12,675,000 of goodwill through December 31, 2004. (See Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Green Manufacturing, Inc.—Hydraulic Cylinder Division
In December 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and other related documents (collectively, the "Agreement"), among P&F, Green and Rosenboom Machine & Tool, Inc. ("RMT") (an unaffiliated third party), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Hydraulic Cylinder Division to RMT. The assets sold pursuant to the Agreement include, among others, property, machinery and equipment, raw materials, work-in process inventory and certain intangibles. Green also sold the land and building in which the division was housed to RMT in connection with this transaction. Green received net cash proceeds of approximately $3,679,000 and a promissory note of approximately $686,000 at the closing. In addition, Green may receive additional consideration based upon certain future sales by RMT. In addition, RMT has agreed to hire all Green Hydraulic Cylinder Division employees in Bowling Green, Ohio and, as a result of the transaction, Green has effectively exited the hydraulic cylinder business.
In connection with the transaction, Green and RMT entered into an agreement which provides for RMT to purchase from Green 100% of RMT's requirements for products of the type that constitute part of Green's inventory of finished goods as of the acquisition date with all purchases by RMT being binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices. The term is for a period of one year from the acquisition date. RMT shall maintain for the benefit of Green the insurance policy insuring the finished goods inventory and will bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. RMT will also be responsible for all recordkeeping with respect to the inventory. Within 5 days of the expiration of the term, RMT is obligated to provide Green with a list of all unpurchased inventory and return such inventory to Green. Based on the terms of the agreement, Green has effectively entered into an arrangement which provides for a transfer of its inventory to RMT prior to payment, as if it had been sold to RMT, with Green recording it as an other current receivable (based on the cost of the inventory which approximated $889,000). This treatment is based on the fact that Green has effectively
13
transferred control of the inventory to RMT. RMT's employees maintain control of the inventory as it is located on RMT's premises and also bears risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Also, all purchases by RMT are binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices with RMT being Green's only customer for the one-year period.
The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $134,000 ($88,000 net of tax) in the fourth quarter of 2004.
The following amounts related to the sale of Green's Hydraulic Cylinder Division assets have been segregated from the Company's continuing operations and are reported as assets of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2004 Compared to 2003
Revenues
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:
Year ended December 31, | Consolidated | Pneumatic tools and related equipment | Hardware | Access/ Agricultural products | Heating products | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

% increase | 32.9% | 5.0% | 111.8% | 20.7% | 11.7% | ||||||||||
14
Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased due primarily to: increases in retail promotions, new product introductions and base sales of approximately $2,085,000, $1,755,000 and $236,000, respectively, from two major retailers; increases in sales to the automotive after-market of approximately $1,381,000, of which $968,000 related to sales from new product introductions; increases in catalog sales of approximately $496,000; and increases in sales of OEM products of approximately $578,000, primarily from the addition of a new product. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $3,914,000 attributable to the loss of a major customer in early 2004 and the reduction of sales commission revenues of approximately $311,000 related to a product no longer being sold. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged.
Revenues from hardware increased significantly as a result of the acquisition of Woodmark, which recorded approximately $19,721,000 in revenues during second half of 2004. Moreover, Nationwide's revenues increased by approximately $1,989,000, or 13.7%, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $2,194,000 in sales of fencing products, which was partially offset by decreases in OEM sales of approximately $251,000. The increase in revenues in this segment was also partially offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately $166,000, or 3.6%, at Franklin, related to a significant customer that reduced its ordering. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company incurred increases in the price of steel. Effective February 1, 2004, Nationwide began charging fencing product customers an additional 4-5% to cover the increased cost. During April of 2004, the Company began increasing prices to customers at Franklin and to other customers at Nationwide in an effort to cover the cost increases.
Revenues from Access/Agricultural products increased $815,000 due primarily to a relationship begun in the second quarter of 2004 with a reseller that generated new orders in the access product line, as well as a general improvement in that market.
Revenues from heating products increased approximately $1,133,000 due primarily to increased radiant and boiler sales of approximately $554,000, reflecting continued market penetration with these newer product lines, as well as increased baseboard sales resulting from the continued strength of new housing starts in 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company incurred increases in the price of steel, copper and aluminum. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company began increasing selling prices across all product lines within this segment in amounts that approximate the cost increases.
All revenues are generated in U.S. dollars and are not impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:
Year ended December 31, | Consolidated | Pneumatic tools and related equipment | Hardware | Access/ Agricultural products | Heating products | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

33.2% | 33.9% | 34.5% | 23.7% | 31.2% | |||||||||||
The decrease in the gross profit percentage from pneumatic tools and related equipment was due primarily to the impact of the weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen and the New Taiwan dollar, the loss of a major customer with a better-than-average gross margin and by a less favorable product mix, offset by other cost reductions and productivity improvements. The decrease in
15
the gross profit percentage from hardware products was due primarily to the inclusion of Woodmark, whose gross profit percentage of 31.1% was less than this segment's 2003 average. The gross profit percentage for the remaining companies that comprised the hardware products segment was 34.8%. The gross profit percentage increased slightly compared with the prior year due to a more favorable product mix in its OEM business. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from Access/Agricultural products was due primarily to increases in raw material costs which were not able to be recovered through increased selling prices. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from heating equipment was due primarily to increases in steel and other raw material costs, lower radiant margins resulting principally from the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro and a less favorable product mix for commercial product, partially offset by improved overhead absorption and labor efficiency for baseboard products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $4,735,683, or 25.1%, from $18,884,868 to $23,620,551. SG&A expenses increased due primarily to the inclusion of $2,688,651 of expenses related to Woodmark in the second half of the year, increased compensation resulting from a change in executive personnel at Nationwide and, to a lesser extent, to increased compensation tied to higher profitability and increases related to professional fees, mainly related to corporate compliance and reporting requirements. These increases were partially offset by decreases resulting from cost-cutting efforts in all of the segments. However, due to increases in revenues, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 24.2% to 22.8%.
Interest—Net
Net interest expense increased $464,410, or 64.5%, from $720,116 to $1,184,526, due primarily to the amounts borrowed under the Company's term loan facility to finance the Woodmark acquisition transaction on June 30, 2004, as well as the issuance and assumption of certain notes related thereto. Interest expense on borrowings under the term loan facility increased by approximately $444,000 and interest expense on the acquisition-related notes approximated $57,000. Interest expense on borrowings under the Company's revolving credit loan facility decreased by approximately $8,000, as lower average borrowings were offset by higher average interest rates.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were 41.7% and 37.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was due primarily to an increase in expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, including executive compensation in excess of $1,000,000. (See Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
2003 Compared to 2002
Revenues
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

% increase (decrease) | 12.5% | 6.3% | 44.0% | (6.2 | )% | 4.1% | |||||||||
16
Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased due primarily to strong promotions of approximately $6,100,000 by two major retailers and an increased penetration in the automotive after-market of approximately $400,000, partially offset by reduced selling prices to a significant customer, a base sales volume decrease of approximately $1,200,000 and lower industrial revenues of approximately $600,000. Contributing to the industrial segment decrease was the pending loss of a major customer, expected to occur in early 2004, that generated approximately $4,500,000 in revenues in 2003. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged, with the exception of prices to a significant customer, which were substantially reduced early in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Revenues from hardware increased due primarily to the inclusion of Nationwide for the entire year in 2003, as opposed to only eight months in 2002. Nationwide's revenues increased approximately $6,400,000, including an increase of approximately $4,000,000 from sales of fencing products. The increase at Nationwide was partially offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately $600,000 at Franklin, as a significant customer declared bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2003 and another significant customer reduced its ordering, because of its decreased volume, in the last three quarters of 2003. Selling prices of hardware products were unchanged.
Revenues from Access/Agricultural products decreased due primarily to decreased sales in the access product line driven by weakness in the capital goods market. Selling prices within this segment were unchanged.
Revenues from heating products increased due primarily to increased boiler and radiant sales in the second half of 2003, reflecting continued market penetration with these newer product lines, and increased baseboard sales, resulting from strong housing starts in the northwest. In addition, in 2002, several large customers reorganized their distribution methods, which allowed their inventory levels to fall to exceptionally low levels, and these levels were returned to normal in 2003, affecting all product lines within this segment. Selling prices of heating products were unchanged, with the exception of a modest price increase for baseboard products during the second quarter of 2003.
All revenues are generated in U.S. dollars and are not impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The decrease in the gross profit percentage from pneumatic tools and related equipment was due primarily to the lower-margin promotional sales noted above, the impact of the price concessions effective in the fourth quarter of 2002 also noted above and the weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen, partially offset by productivity improvements and cost reductions from suppliers. The increase in the gross profit percentage from hardware products was due primarily to the inclusion of Nationwide's higher margin OEM business for all of 2003, as opposed to only eight months in 2002, a more favorable product mix and cost savings in material purchases and labor productivity. The
17
decrease in the gross profit percentage from Access/Agricultural products was due primarily to decreased access sales noted above, which reduced coverage of fixed expenses, and an increase in sales of imported products that were at lower margins. The increase in the gross profit percentage from heating equipment was due primarily to improved overhead absorption and labor efficiency for baseboard products, partially offset by lower radiant margins resulting principally from the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated SG&A expenses increased 11.6%, from $16,926,446 to $18,884,868, due primarily to increased costs associated with the 12.5% increase in revenues noted above, increases in marketing support and expenses related to promotional sales at Florida Pneumatic and, to a lesser extent, to increased compensation tied to higher profitability and increases related to additional reporting and control requirements. These increases were partially offset by substantial decreases resulting from cost-cutting efforts in all of the segments. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased from 24.4% to 24.2%, due primarily to the increase in revenues.

Net interest expense decreased from $730,698 to $720,116, due primarily to lower interest rates on the Company's borrowings under both its revolving credit and term loan facilities, as well as on a refinanced mortgage. Average borrowings under the Company's term loan facility, which resulted from the acquisition of Nationwide on May 3, 2002, were lower in 2003 than in 2002, but these amounts were outstanding for all of 2003, as opposed to only eight months in 2002. Partially offsetting the overall decrease was an increase in 2003 over 2002 in the average borrowings under the Company's revolving credit loan facility.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were 37.5% and 37.0%, respectively. (See Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash flows from operations are cyclical, with the greatest demand in the second and third quarters followed by positive cash flows in the fourth quarter as receivables and inventories trend down. Due to its strong asset base, predictable cash flows and favorable banking relationships, the Company believes it has adequate access to capital, if and when needed. The Company monitors average days sales outstanding, inventory turns and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs and evaluate return on assets employed.
The Company gauges its liquidity and financial stability by the measurements shown in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands):
| December 31, | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | |||
Working Capital | $29,530 | $20,960 | $19,779 | |||

On June 30, 2004, Woodmark acquired certain assets comprising the business of the former Woodmark International L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the former Stair House, Inc., and assumed certain related liabilities. (See Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
18
Cash increased $976,460 from $213,409 as of December 31, 2003 to $1,189,869, as of December 31, 2004. The Company's debt levels increased from $13,249,537 at December 31, 2003 to $38,910,078 at December 31, 2004, due primarily to the financing of the aforementioned acquisition. The Company's total percent of debt to total book capitalization increased from 26.4% at December 31, 2003 to 46.9% at December 31, 2004.
In connection with Countrywide's acquisition of all of the stock of Nationwide in 2002, the Company is liable for contingent earnout payments to Nationwide's previous owner, in amounts equal to 30% of the excess of Nationwide's earnings, before amortization of intangible assets, interest and taxes, over $2,500,000, for each of the five twelve-month periods subsequent to the acquisition date. These contingent earnout payments have been and will be treated as additions to goodwill. During 2004, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $489,000, related to contingent earnout payments.
In connection with the Woodmark acquisition transaction, the Company is liable for additional payments to the sellers. The amount of these payments, which would be made as of either June 30, 2007 or June 30, 2009, are to be based on increases in earnings before interest and taxes, for the year ended on the respective date, over a base of $5,100,000. Woodmark has the option to make a payment as of June 30, 2007 in an amount equal to 48% of this increase. If Woodmark does not make this payment as of June 30, 2007, the Sellers may demand payment as of June 30, 2009 in an amount equal to 40% of the increase. Any such additional payments will be treated as additions to goodwill.
Cash provided by operating activities for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $4,951,000, $4,972,000 and $5,786,000, respectively. The Company believes that cash on hand derived from operations and cash available through borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet its foreseeable working capital needs.
During 2004, gross accounts receivable increased by approximately $3,622,000 in the aggregate and approximately $463,000, or 3.8%, exclusive of the Woodmark acquisition transaction. Increases (decreases) were approximately $3,244,000, $1,103,000, $(701,000) and $(24,000) at Countrywide, Green, Florida Pneumatic and Embassy, respectively. The increase at Countrywide was due primarily to the addition of Woodmark's gross accounts receivable of $3,260,000. The increase in gross accounts receivable at Green is due primarily to the increase in sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to the fourth quarter of 2003.The decrease in Florida Pneumatic's gross accounts receivable resulted from stronger-than-expected fourth quarter collections and the timing of certain promotions compared to the prior year.
During 2004, inventories increased by approximately $9,209,000 in the aggregate and approximately $3,376,000 exclusive of the Woodmark acquisition transaction. Increases (decreases) were approximately $9,176,000, $841,000, $(868,000) and $60,000 at Countrywide, Green, Florida Pneumatic and Embassy, respectively. The increase at Countrywide was due primarily to the addition of Woodmark's inventories of $7,891,000. Inventory increases at Green and Embassy are primarily to support overall growth in the business. Inventory levels at Florida Pneumatic decreased as a result of the timing of inventory purchases.
During 2004, short-term borrowings increased by $1,000,000 primarily to fund working capital needs.
During 2004, accounts payable increased by approximately $53,000 in the aggregate and decreased approximately $164,000 exclusive of the Woodmark acquisition transaction. Increases (decreases) were approximately $378,000, $(126,000), $(162,000) and $(37,000) at Countrywide, Green, Florida Pneumatic and Embassy, respectively. The increase at Countrywide was due primarily to the addition of Woodmark's accounts payable of $305,000. The decreases at Green, Florida Pneumatic and Embassy were due primarily to the timing of payments associated with inventory purchases.
19
On June 30, 2004, in conjunction with the Woodmark acquisition transaction, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Citibank and another bank. This agreement provides the Company with various credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions and a foreign exchange line. The credit agreement is subject to annual review by the banks. (See Notes 7 and 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The revolving credit loan facility provides a maximum of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. At December 31, 2004, there was $4,000,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility, and there were no open letters of credit.
The term loan facility provides a maximum commitment of $34,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the approval of the lending banks. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. The Company borrowed $29,000,000 against this facility to finance the Woodmark acquisition transaction, and there was $27,000,000, including amounts rolled over from the prior term loan facility, outstanding against the term loan facility at December 31, 2004.
The foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of Japanese yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding under the foreign exchange line at December 31, 2004, based on that day's closing spot rate, was approximately $2,792,000.
Under its credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At December 31, 2004, and for the year then ended, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants. Certain of the Company's mortgage agreements also require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company received a waiver for the one covenant with which it was not in compliance. Such mortgage agreement was amended and at December 31, 2004, and for the quarter then ended, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants.
Capital spending was approximately $1,115,000, $979,000 and $3,943,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which amounts were provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for 2005 are expected to be approximately $680,000, some of which may be financed through the Company's credit facilities. Included in the expected total for 2005 are capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines and replacement of equipment.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company's foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of foreign currencies needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The Company has not purchased forward contracts on New Taiwan dollars or euros. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2004, based on that day's closing spot rate, was approximately $2,792,000.
The Company, through Florida Pneumatic, imports a significant amount of its purchases from Japan, with payment due in Japanese yen. As a result, the Company is subject to the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company uses a variety of techniques to protect itself from any adverse effects from these fluctuations, including increasing its selling prices, obtaining price reductions from its overseas suppliers, using alternative supplier sources and entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The increase in the strength of the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar from 2003 to 2004 had a negative effect on the Company's results of operations and its financial position. Since December 31, 2004, the relative value of the U.S dollar in relation to the Japanese yen has increased
20
slightly. There can be no assurance as to the future trend of this value. (See "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.")
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company believes that the effects of changing prices and inflation on its financial position and its results of operations are immaterial.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Although it is difficult to identify precisely the portion of capital expenditures or other costs attributable to compliance with environmental laws and regulations, the Company does not expect such expenditures or other costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial position and its results of operations.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
At December 31, 2004, the Company had certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments, as set forth in the following tables:

- (a)
- The Company entered into a credit agreement with Citibank and another bank. This agreement includes a revolving credit loan facility, which provides a total of $12,000,000 for direct borrowings, with various sublimits for letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and equipment loans. Direct borrowings under the revolving credit loan facility are secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) plus the currently applicable loan margin or the prime interest rate. The credit agreement also includes a foreign exchange line, which provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. The amounts shown in the table include expected interest payments, which were calculated on the basis of the Company's borrowing rate of 4.02% at December 31, 2004. (See Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
- (b)
- Long-term debt includes a term loan, notes payable related to the Woodmark acquisition and mortgage loans. The amounts shown in the table include expected interest payments. For long-term debt not subject to a pre-determined fixed rate of interest, the expected interest payments were calculated on the basis of the Company's borrowing rate of 4.17% at December 31, 2004. (See Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
21
- (c)
- The Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the "officer") that provides for a minimum annual salary of $675,000, subject to increases in base compensation as the Board of Directors may from time to time grant to him and to receive such bonuses as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may allocate to him. The officer is expected to receive an annual salary of $861,000 for the year ending December 31, 2005. (See Note 13 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
- (d)
- The Company enters into contractual arrangements for purchase commitments in the ordinary course of business to ensure adequate levels of inventories, including raw material and sourced products. (See Note 13 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 1 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this report.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. and international exchange rates, the prices of certain commodities and currency rates as measured against the U.S. dollar and each other. The Company attempts to reduce the risks related to foreign currency fluctuation by utilizing financial instruments, pursuant to Company policy.
The value of the U.S. dollar affects the Company's financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company's gross margins through its inventory purchases and operating expenses through realized foreign exchange gains or losses. The Company engages in hedging programs aimed at limiting, in part, the impact of currency fluctuations. Using primarily forward exchange contracts, the Company hedges some of those transactions that, when remeasured according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, impact the statement of operations. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of the Company's programs include volatility of the currency markets and availability of hedging instruments. All currency contracts that are entered into by the Company are components of hedging programs and are entered into not for speculation but for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure. The Company does not buy or sell financial instruments for trading purposes. Although the Company maintains these programs to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, when the U.S. dollar sustains a weakening exchange rate against currencies in which the Company incurs costs, the Company's costs are adversely affected.
The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses through its statement of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of operations. At December 31, 2004, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2005, to purchase Japanese yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at December 31, 2004, based on that day's closing spot rate, was approximately $2,792,000, which was the approximate value of the Company's corresponding yen-denominated accounts payable. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses a net realized gain (loss) of approximately $(96,000), $105,000 and ($120,000), respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2004, the Company had no material unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.
The potential loss in value of the Company's net investment in foreign currency forward contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates at December 31, 2004 was approximately $308,000. (See Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
22
The Company has various debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates tied to LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate). Any increase in LIBOR would have an adverse effect on the Company's interest costs. In addition to affecting operating results, adverse changes in interest rates could impact the Company's access to capital, certain merger and acquisition strategies and the level of capital expenditures.
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximate fair value as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for long-term debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 because, in general, the interest rates underlying the instruments fluctuate with market rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
P&F Industries, Inc.
Farmingdale, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of P&F Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. We have also audited the schedule listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of P&F Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of P&F Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
P&F Industries, Inc. ("P&F") conducts its business operations through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation ("Florida Pneumatic"), Countrywide Hardware, Inc. ("Countrywide"), Green Manufacturing, Inc. ("Green") and Embassy Industries, Inc. ("Embassy"). P&F Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the "Company."
Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial, retail and automotive markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division ("Berkley"), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. ("Nationwide"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, through its Franklin Manufacturing ("Franklin") division and through Woodmark International, L.P. ("Woodmark"), a limited partnership between P&F and Countrywide. (See Note 2 to the Notes to Financial Statements for information regarding the June 2004 Woodmark acquisition transaction.) Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Franklin imports a line of door and window hardware. Woodmark is an importer of builders' hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. Green was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders until it exited that business in December 2004 through the sale of certain assets. (See Note 3.) Green also manufactured a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry until it exited that business in February 2005 and continues to manufacture a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry. (See Note 15 regarding disposition of certain assets related to Green's exit from the access equipment business.) Embassy is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems. Note 14 presents financial information for the segments of the Company's business.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Certain of these accounting policies require the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
34
Reclassifications
Certain prior years' amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company sells its goods on terms which transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, typically shipping point, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods. Revenue recognition from product sales occurs when all factors are met, including transfer of title and risk of loss, which occurs either upon shipment by the Company or upon receipt by customers at the location specified in the terms of sale. Other than standard product warranty provisions, the Company's sales arrangements provide for no other, or insignificant, post-shipment obligations. The Company does offer rebates and other sales incentives, promotional allowances or discounts, from time to time and for certain customers, typically related to customer purchase volume, all of which are fixed or determinable and are classified as a reduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale. The Company periodically evaluates whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, the Company has experienced little, if any, sales returns. If the Company believes there are potential sales returns, the Company would provide any necessary provision against sales.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company generally does not bill customers for shipping and handling costs. Expenses for shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and totaled approximately $1,646,000, $1,527,000 and $1,422,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximate fair value as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for long-term debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 because, in general, the interest rates underlying the instruments fluctuate with market rates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products to retailers, distributors and original equipment manufacturers involved in a variety of industries, including heating, hardware, tools and mobile equipment. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, and although the Company generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from customers in certain circumstances.
Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. The Company also records additional allowances based on certain percentages of aged receivables, based on historical experience and the Company's assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual
35
collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in the credit worthiness of any of these customers or any other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers could have a material affect on the Company's results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all reasonable attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2004 was adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash in overnight money market instruments with high quality financial institutions, which, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure in any one financial instrument. The Company principally sells its products domestically to customers in diversified industries and therefore, has no other significant concentrations of credit risk other than with two major customers (see Note 14).
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The inventory balance, which includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs, is recorded net of an allowance for obsolete or unmarketable inventory. Such allowance is based upon both historical experience and management's understanding of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand. If the actual amount of obsolete or unmarketable inventory significantly exceeds the estimated allowance, the Company's cost of sales, gross profit and net earnings would be significantly affected.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by the straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 10-30 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 3-12 years |
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of these assets may not be recoverable. In that regard, the Company will assess the recoverability of such assets based upon estimated undiscounted cash flow forecasts. If an asset impairment is identified the asset is written down to fair value based on discounted cash flow or another fair value measure.
Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Accounting Change
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which requires that goodwill not be amortized, but that goodwill and other intangible assets be tested annually for impairment. The Company adopted SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and, in accordance therewith, ceased amortizing its goodwill as of that date. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over a period ranging from five to fifteen years.
36
The Company's operational policy for the assessment and measurement of any impairment in the value of goodwill and other intangible assets that is other than temporary is to evaluate annually, with the help of independent third-party appraisers if necessary, the recoverability and remaining life of its goodwill and other intangible assets to determine the fair value of these assets. The methodologies to be used to estimate fair value include the use of estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, earnings and cash flows. If the fair value of any of these assets is determined to be less than its carrying value, the Company will reflect the impairment of any such asset through a reduction in its carrying value, in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.
In connection with the Company's implementation of SFAS 142 with respect to its Green reporting unit, a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $3,239,000, net of tax, was recorded at January 1, 2002 and is reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of operations as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company has adopted a policy to review each reporting unit for impairment using a discounted cash flow approach that uses forward-looking assumptions regarding market share, revenues and costs for each reporting unit as well as appropriate discount rates. The write-down of goodwill shown as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 was determined using the forward-looking assumptions that were available to us on January 1, 2002. In 2003 and 2004, the Company again reviewed each reporting unit for impairment and no further impairment was identified. The estimates used were consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company was using to manage the underlying business.
Warranty Liability
The Company offers its customers certain warranties against product defects for periods ranging from one year to the life of the product, depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The Company's typical warranties require it to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. At the time the product revenue is recognized, the Company records a liability for estimated costs under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, the estimated liability for the product warranties could differ materially from future actual warranty costs.
Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated Federal tax return. P&F Industries, Inc. and each of its subsidiaries file separate state and local tax returns.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of such change.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based only on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the effect of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options, unless the effect on earnings is antidilutive.
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding reflects the assumed use of
37
proceeds from the hypothetical exercise of any outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The average market value for the period is used as the assumed purchase price.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

There were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 stock options whose exercise prices were higher than the average market values for the respective periods. These options are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per share. The weighted average anti-dilutive options outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were 20,453, 181,207 and 189,000, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", which was issued to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
38
In addition, SFAS 148 amended the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
The Company accounts for its stock option awards to its employees under the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company makes pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied, as required by SFAS 123.
SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for its incentive stock option plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | |||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.5% | — | 4.3% | |||
Volatility | 35.0% | — | 56.9% | |||
Expected life (years) | 9.3 | — | 8.5 |
The weighted-average fair value of options for which the exercise price equaled the market price on the grant date was $4.43 and $4.20 in 2004 and 2002, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of options for which the exercise price exceeded the market price on the grant date was $2.50 and $3.07 in 2004 and 2002, respectively. No options were granted in 2003.
Under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net earnings (loss) and its basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Treasury stock is recorded at net acquisition cost. Gains and losses on disposition are recorded as increases or decreases to additional paid-in capital with losses in excess of previously recorded gains charged directly to retained earnings.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies, principally Japanese yen. Derivative products, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, are used to hedge the foreign currency market exposures underlying certain debt and forecasted transactions with foreign vendors. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedge item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure of variability in the expected future cash flows that would be attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss (a component of shareholders' equity) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion and any portion of the derivative instrument excluded from the assessment of effectiveness), is recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair market values are recognized in earnings as a component of cost of goods sold.
The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses through its statement of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of operations. At December 31, 2004, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2005, to purchase Japanese yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at December 31, 2004, based on that day's closing spot rate, was approximately $2,792,000, which was the approximate value of the Company's yen-denominated accounts payable. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded in its selling, general and administrative expenses a net realized gain (loss) of approximately $(96,000), $105,000 and ($120,000), respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2004, the Company had no material unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payment." This statement is a revision of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supercedes APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R establishes standards on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This statement requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS 123R also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The adoption of this statement is not
40
expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We intend to implement this statement in our third quarter of 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, "Inventory Costs," which is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement amends ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that these items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal". In addition, allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion must be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 153 amends APB 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions", which is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in APB 29 included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have an materialeffect on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 03-13, "Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations." This guidance is applied to a component of an enterprise that is either disposed of or classified as "held for sale" in fiscal periods after December 15, 2004. The application of this guidance was adopted in December 2004, as permitted, and had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued EITF 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share," which is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. This consensus addresses when contingently convertible instruments should be included in diluted earnings per share. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2004, the FASB issued EITF 04-10, "Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds." The consensus addresses the issue of how an enterprise should evaluate the aggregation criteria in paragraph 17 of SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," when determining whether operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds may be aggregated. The effective date of this issue has been delayed and is anticipated to occur in 2005 to coincide with the final issuance of the FSP (FASB Staff Position), which will provide guidance in determining whether two or more operating segments have similar economic characteristics. However, earlier adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS
Nationwide Industries, Inc.
On May 3, 2002, Countrywide acquired all of the stock of Nationwide for approximately $10,452,000, plus an additional payment in 2002 for a working capital adjustment of approximately $259,000. In addition to the cash paid at the closing, the Company is liable for contingent earnout payments to Nationwide's previous owner, in amounts equal to 30% of the excess of Nationwide's
41
earnings, before amortization of intangible assets, interest and taxes, over $2,500,000, for each of the five twelve-month periods subsequent to the acquisition date. These contingent earnout payments have been and will be treated as additions to goodwill. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of Nationwide's historical financial performance.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $6,968,000, including approximately $259,000 related to the working capital adjustment described above, approximately $561,000 related to acquisition costs and acquisition-related expenses, approximately $150,000 related to contingent earnout payments and approximately $972,000 related to a deferred tax liability associated with intangible assets that were part of the acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded net additions to goodwill of approximately $489,000 and $351,000, respectively, related primarily to contingent earnout payments.
This acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141, "Business Combinations." Nationwide is engaged in the business of importing and manufacturing door, window and fencing hardware. The Company completed its acquisition of Nationwide in order to expand its presence in the domestic residential hardware market.
This acquisition was financed through the term loan facility available under the Company's credit agreement, as described in Note 9.
On May 24, 2002, in connection with the acquisition of Nationwide, Countrywide also purchased, for $2,500,000, the real property and the improvements thereon in which Nationwide conducts its business. This purchase was financed primarily through a mortgage loan, in the amount of $2,024,000, from a bank.
The consolidated financial statements presented in this report include the combined results of operations of Countrywide and Nationwide for the period from May 4, 2002 through December 31, 2004.
The following table presents the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired and the amount allocated to goodwill:
Current and other assets | $ | 4,115,000 | ||||
Property and equipment | 860,000 | |||||
Identifiable intangible assets: | ||||||
Customer list | 1,900,000 | |||||

Total fair value of net assets acquired | 4,454,000 | |||||
Goodwill | 6,968,000 | |||||
Total purchase price | $ | 11,422,000 | ||||
The employment agreement and the customer list have each been assigned a useful life of five years for accounting purposes. The amortization of these intangible assets is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is not amortized for either financial reporting or tax purposes.
Woodmark International L.P.
On June 30, 2004, Woodmark, a Delaware limited partnership owned by P&F and Countrywide, acquired certain assets comprising the business of the former Woodmark International L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the former Stair House, Inc., a Georgia
42
corporation (collectively, the "Sellers"), and assumed certain of the Sellers' related liabilities (the "Woodmark acquisition transaction"). Woodmark is an importer of builders' hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. As a result of this transaction, Countrywide has significantly increased its purchasing power and geographic distribution. Woodmark also agreed to make additional payments to the Sellers. The amount of these payments, which would be made as of either June 30, 2007 or June 30, 2009, are to be based on increases in earnings before interest and taxes, for the year ended on the respective date, over a base of $5,100,000. Woodmark has the option to make a payment as of June 30, 2007 in an amount equal to 48% of this increase. If Woodmark does not make this payment as of June 30, 2007, the Sellers may demand payment as of June 30, 2009 in an amount equal to 40% of the increase. Any such additional payments will be treated as additions to goodwill. The acquisition was financed through the Company's senior credit facility with Citibank, described in Note 9. The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the results of operations for Woodmark for the period from July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004.
The purchase price for this acquisition, negotiated on the basis of Woodmark's historical financial performance, was as follows:
Cash paid at closing from borrowings under term loan | $ | 27,160,000 | |
Additional purchase price for working capital adjustment | 340,000 | ||
Notes payable | 3,408,000 | ||
Direct acquisition costs | 990,000 | ||
Total purchase price | $ | 31,898,000 | |
The following table presents the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired and the amount allocated to goodwill:
Current and other assets | $ | 10,437,000 | ||||

Identifiable intangible assets: | ||||||
Customer relationships | 7,260,000 | |||||

Total fair value of net assets acquired | 19,223,000 | |||||
Goodwill | 12,675,000 | |||||
Total purchase price | $ | 31,898,000 | ||||
The Company obtained an independent third-party valuation of the identifiable intangible assets. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including the value of the identifiable intangible assets, has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill will be amortized, for fifteen years, for tax purposes but not for financial reporting purposes. The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets are based on current information and are subject to change. The intangible assets subject to amortization will be amortized over fifteen years for tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes and have been assigned useful lives as follows:
Customer relationships | 15 years | |
Vendor relationship | 10 years | |
Trademark | Indefinite |

NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In December 2004, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and other related documents (collectively, the "Agreement"), among P&F, Green and Rosenboom Machine & Tool, Inc. ("RMT") (an unaffiliated third party), Green sold certain of its assets comprising its Hydraulic Cylinder Division to RMT. The assets sold pursuant to the Agreement include, among others, property, machinery and equipment, raw materials, work-in process inventory and certain intangibles. Green also sold the land and building in which the division was housed to RMT in connection with this transaction. Green received net cash proceeds of approximately $3,679,000 and a promissory note of approximately $686,000 at the closing. In addition, Green may receive additional consideration based upon certain future sales by RMT. In addition, RMT has agreed to hire all Green Hydraulic Cylinder Division employees in Bowling Green, Ohio and, as a result of the transaction, Green has effectively exited the hydraulic cylinder business.
In connection with the transaction, Green and RMT entered into an agreement which provides for RMT to purchase from Green 100% of RMT's requirements for products of the type that constitute part of Green's inventory of finished goods as of the acquisition date with all purchases by RMT being binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices. The term is for a period of one year from the acquisition date. RMT shall maintain for the benefit of Green the insurance policy insuring the finished goods inventory and will bear the entire risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. RMT will also be responsible for all recordkeeping with respect to the inventory. Within 5 days of the expiration of the term, RMT is obligated to provide Green with a list of all unpurchased inventory and return such inventory to Green. Based on the terms of the agreement, Green has effectively entered into an arrangement which provides for a transfer of its inventory to RMT prior to payment, as if it had been sold to RMT, with Green recording it as an other current receivable (based on the cost of the inventory which approximated $889,000). This treatment is based on the fact that Green has effectively transferred control of the inventory to RMT. RMT's employees maintain control of the inventory as it is located on RMT's premises and also bears risk of loss, theft, destruction or any damage to the inventory. Also, all purchases by RMT are binding and non-cancelable at pre-established prices with RMT being Green's only customer for the one-year period.
The Company recognized a gain on the sale of these assets of approximately $134,000 ($88,000 net of tax) in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $819,000 and $532,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the years in the period ending December 31, 2009 is estimated to be as follows 2005—$1,105,000; 2006—$1,105,000; 2007—$750,000; 2008—$573,000; and 2009—$573,000. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 11.6 years and 3.5 years at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 7—SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
On June 30, 2004, in conjunction with the Woodmark acquisition transaction, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Citibank and another bank. This agreement includes a revolving credit loan facility, which provides a total of $12,000,000 for direct borrowings, with various sublimits for letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. The credit agreement expires in June 2005 and is subject to annual review by the lending banks. The credit agreement also includes a term loan facility, as described in Note 9.
Direct borrowings under the revolving credit loan facility are secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at either LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) plus the currently applicable loan margin or the prime interest rate. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the applicable loan margin added to LIBOR was 1.6%. At December 31, 2004, the prime interest rate and the LIBOR rate were 5.25% and approximately 2.42%, respectively. At December 31, 2003, the prime interest rate and the LIBOR rate were 4.0% and approximately 1.2%, respectively. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, there was $4,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively, outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings during 2004 and 2003 were 4.30% and 4.11%, respectively. There were no commitments at December 31, 2004 for open letters of credit.
46
The credit agreement also includes a foreign exchange line, which provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of foreign currencies needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding under the foreign exchange line at December 31, 2004, based on that day's closing spot rate, was approximately $2,792,000.
Under the terms of the Company's credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At December 31, 2004, and for the year then ended, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.
NOTE 8—WARRANTY LIABILITY
Changes in the Company's warranty liability, included in other accrued liabilities, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

- These mortgages payable relate to the land and buildings of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Property with a net book value of approximately $4,482,911 at December 31, 2004 is pledged as collateral.
- (b)
- This bond was assumed by the Company as part of the acquisition of Green and was secured by a standby letter of credit.
The aggregate amounts of the long-term debt scheduled to mature in each of the years ended December 31 are approximately as follows: 2005—$3,062,000; 2006—$4,777,000; 2007—$8,213,000;
48
2008—$4,795,000; 2009—$5,805,000; 2010—$5,481,000; and 2011 and thereafter—$2,777,000. Interest expense on long-term debt was approximately $895,000, $406,000 and $539,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company's credit agreement also includes a term loan facility, which provides a maximum commitment of $34,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the approval of the lending banks. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. Direct borrowings under the term loan are secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at either LIBOR plus the currently applicable loan margin or the prime interest rate. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the applicable loan margin added to LIBOR was 1.75%. The Company borrowed $29,000,000 against this facility to finance the Woodmark acquisition transaction, and there was $27,000,000 outstanding against the term loan facility at December 31, 2004. The credit agreement expires in June 2005 and is subject to annual review by the lending banks.
Certain of the Company's mortgage agreements require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. During the second and third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company received a waiver for the one covenant with which it was not in compliance. Such mortgage agreement was amended and at December 31, 2004, and for the quarter then ended, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants.
NOTE 10—CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company purchased 47,691 and 18,600 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock, at costs of $322,340 and $117,336, respectively, in connection with a program to repurchase shares. In September 2004, the Company extended this program until September 30, 2005 for the purchase of up to 150,000 shares of Class A common stock. No shares were repurchased in 2004.
In July 2002, the Company issued to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company 12,774 unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company recorded the fair market value of these shares, $89,163, as compensation expense. During 2004 and 2002, the Company issued to various employees options to purchase an aggregate of 166,000 shares and 221,100 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock.
In connection with its Stockholder Rights Plan, the Company entered into a Rights Agreement (as amended) and distributed as a dividend to each holder of Class A Common Stock a preferred stock purchase right. These rights entitle the stockholders, in certain circumstances, to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $10. The Stockholder Rights Plan, which expired in August 2004 and was extended by the Company until August 2014, is intended to protect, among other things, the interests of the Company's stockholders in the event the Company is confronted with coercive or unfair takeover tactics.
NOTE 11—STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's 2002 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Current Plan") authorizes the issuance, to employees and directors, of options to purchase a maximum of 1,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. These options must be issued within ten years of the effective date of the Plan and are exercisable for a ten year period from the date of grant, at prices not less than 100% of the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Options granted to any 10% stockholder are exercisable for a five year period from the date of grant, at prices not less than 110% of the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The Current Plan is the successor to the Company's 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Plan").

One of P&F's subsidiaries also participates in a multi-employer pension plan. This plan provides defined benefits to all union workers. Contributions to this plan are determined by the union contract. The Company does not administer the plan funds and does not have any control over the plan funds. The amounts recognized as pension expense for this plan were approximately $30,000, $31,000 and $33,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(b) Effective as of May 30, 2001, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the "officer"). The employment agreement provides for the officer to serve as President of the Company, or in such other capacity as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, for a term expiring on May 30, 2008, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of the employment agreement. Pursuant to the employment agreement, the officer will receive a minimum annual salary of $675,000 and is also eligible to receive such increases in base compensation as the Board of Directors may from time to time grant to him and to receive such bonuses as the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may allocate to him.
