Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 23, 2011, Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of P&F Industries, Inc. (the “Registrant”) received a payment of approximately $702,000 (the “Payment”) relating to a dispute over the sale by Embassy of certain real property arising under the Contract of Sale (the “Agreement”) between Embassy and J. D’Addario & Company, Inc. (“D’Addario”), dated January 13, 2006, as amended. The payment was made pursuant to the Amended Judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Suffolk County, dated August 2, 2011 and entered August 4, 2011.
Embassy is also seeking to appeal such decision insofar as it did not include an additional payment by D’Addario of pre-judgment interest at the New York statutory rate of nine percent, which would have aggregated approximately $225,000. Neither the Registrant nor Embassy can predict whether such appeal will be granted and if such appeal is granted, what the outcome of such appeal would be.
