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 (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company conducts its business operations through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries. Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation ("Florida Pneumatic") is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial and retail markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division, a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Green Manufacturing, Inc. ("Green") is engaged primarily in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders. Green also manufactures a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry. Embassy Industries, Inc. ("Embassy") is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems. Embassy also imports a line of door and window hardware items through its Franklin Manufacturing hardware division. Note 4 presents financial information for the segments of the Company's business. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year, since the operations of some of the Company's subsidiaries are seasonal in nature. 7 <Page> P & F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ========================================== BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) The consolidated balance sheet information for December 31, 2000 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with that Report. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 Consolidated revenues decreased 24.7%, from $21,844,757 to $16,448,858. Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased 27.2%, from $12,543,705 to $9,134,963, due primarily to the cancellation of two special fall promotions by one customer, as well as to a reduction in prices to another large customer. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged from the prior year, with the exception of prices to the foregoing customer, which were reduced by an average of 16%. Revenues from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased 29.4%, from $4,970,459 to $3,507,980, due primarily to lower demand for recycled cardboard and large capital goods, which in turn reduced demand for cylinders sold to the refuse and aerial lift markets, respectively, as well as to the discontinuance by one major aerial lift customer of a significant portion of its product line. Selling prices of hydraulic cylinders and other equipment were unchanged from the prior year. Revenues from heating equipment decreased 10.9%, from $2,895,530 to $2,579,239, due primarily to a decrease in sales of baseboard products, including the loss of a significant baseboard customer. This decrease in sales was partially offset by an increase in sales of radiant products and by sales of the new boiler products. Selling prices of heating equipment were unchanged from the prior year. Revenues from hardware decreased 14.5%, from $1,435,063 to $1,226,676, due primarily to the loss of two significant customers who declared bankruptcy since the third quarter of 2000. Selling prices of hardware products were unchanged from the prior year. Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased from 28.4% to 30.8%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased from 31.9% to 40.0%, due primarily to increases in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to both the Japanese yen and the New Taiwan dollar, which decreased the cost of imported product. Gross profit from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased from 15.9% to 8.4%, due primarily to a significant reduction in manufacturing activity resulting from the large decrease in revenues, which has dramatically reduced the absorption of fixed expenses and lowered gross profit. In addition, significant production labor resources were expended to produce prototypes and initial short-run orders for new customers. These new account activities generate little to no gross profit. Labor productivity increases partially offset these negatives. Gross profit from heating equipment decreased from 35.4% to 31.1%, due primarily to a reduction in manufacturing activity resulting from the large decrease in revenues, which has reduced the absorption of fixed expenses and lowered gross profit. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by a less favorable product mix. Gross profit from hardware decreased from 26.9% to 26.1%, due primarily to a less favorable product mix. 12 <Page> Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3.8%, from $4,262,709 to $4,102,867, due primarily to the overall decrease in revenues for the period. Interest expense decreased 55.4%, from $389,897 to $174,019, due primarily to decreases in both the average outstanding balance of the Company's borrowings and the average interest rate on these borrowings. The effective tax rates for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were 38.3% and 38.2%, respectively. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 Consolidated revenues decreased 18.6%, from $61,605,452 to $50,138,798. Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased 14.3%, from $33,575,538 to $28,781,405, due primarily to the cancellation of two special fall promotions by a significant customer and, to a lesser extent, to a decrease in sales to the catalog and industrial markets. These decreases in sales were partially offset by an increase in sales to one large customer. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged from the prior year, with the exception of prices to one significant customer, which were reduced by an average of 16% in the third quarter. Revenues from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased 31.9%, from $16,327,893 to $11,114,768, due primarily to lower demand for recycled cardboard and large capital goods, which in turn reduced demand for cylinders sold to the refuse, aerial lift and wrecker markets, , as well as to the discontinuance by one major aerial lift customer of a significant portion of its product line Selling prices of hydraulic cylinders and other equipment were unchanged from the prior year. Revenues from heating equipment decreased 8.0%, from $7,285,172 to $6,704.234, due primarily to a decrease in sales of baseboard products, including the loss of a significant baseboard customer. This decrease in sales was partially offset by an increase in sales of radiant products and by sales of the new boiler products. Selling prices of heating equipment were unchanged from the prior year. Revenues from hardware decreased 19.9%, from $4,416,849 to $3,538,391, due primarily to the loss of two significant customers who declared bankruptcy since the third quarter of 2000. Selling prices of hardware products were unchanged from the prior year. Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was unchanged at 30.7%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased from 37.4% to 38.7%, due primarily to increases in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to both the Japanese yen and the New Taiwan dollar, which decreased the cost of imported product. Gross profit from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased from 15.7% to 9.8%, due primarily to a significant reduction in manufacturing activity resulting from the large decrease in revenues, which has dramatically reduced the absorption of fixed expenses and lowered gross profit. In addition, significant production labor resources were expended to produce prototypes and initial short-run orders for new customers. These new account activities generate little 13 <Page> to no gross profit. Labor productivity increases partially offset these negatives. Gross profit from heating equipment decreased from 34.8% to 33.4%, due primarily to a reduction in manufacturing activity resulting from the large decrease in revenues, which has reduced the absorption of fixed expenses and lowered gross profit. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by a less favorable product mix. Gross profit from hardware decreased from 27.9% to 26.6%, due primarily to a less favorable product mix. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.9%, from $12,910,501 to $12,542,528, due primarily to the overall decrease in revenues for the period. Interest expense decreased 36.3%, from $1,067,011 to $679,985, due primarily to decreases in both the average outstanding balance of the Company's borrowings and the average interest rate on these borrowings. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were 38.5% and 38.0%, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company gauges its liquidity and financial stability by the measurements shown in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands): <Table> <Caption> SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 2000 2000 ------------- ------------ ------------ Working Capital $ 20,546 $ 19,137 $ 20,838 Current Ratio 2.77 to 1 2.16 to 1 1.96 to 1 Shareholders' Equity $ 33,918 $ 32,992 $ 32,196 </Table> During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, gross accounts receivable decreased by approximately $610,000, with decreases of approximately $695,000 at Florida Pneumatic and approximately $65,000 at Green being partially offset by an increase of approximately $150,000 at Embassy. The decreases at Florida Pneumatic and Green were the result of decreased sales and slight improvements in the average days' sales outstanding. The increase at Embassy was due primarily to the timing of receipts from customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, inventories decreased by approximately $2,610,000, with decreases of approximately $2,734,000 at Florida Pneumatic and approximately $460,000 at Green being partially offset by an increase of approximately $580,000 at Embassy. The decreases at Florida Pneumatic and Green were primarily the result of ongoing efforts to bring inventory balances in line with lower anticipated sales. The increase at Embassy was primarily to support the new boiler product line. Inventories at Embassy also increased as a result of lower than expected sales of baseboard products. 14 <Page> LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, accounts payable decreased by approximately $295,000, with decreases of approximately $215,000 at Embassy and approximately $265,000 at Green being partially offset by an increase of approximately $185,000 at Florida Pneumatic. The decrease at Embassy and the increase at Florida Pneumatic were both primarily due to the timing of inventory receipts. The decrease at Green was primarily the result of lower overall business activity. Short-term borrowings decreased by $5,000,000, primarily as a result of the decrease in working capital requirements consistent with a contraction of the business. On June 25, 2001, the Company renewed its credit agreement, as amended, with European American Bank through July 26, 2002. This agreement provides the Company with various credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions and a foreign exchange line. The revolving credit loan facility provides a total of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and equipment loans. At September 30, 2001, there was $4,000,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. There were no commitments for open letters of credit at September 30, 2001. The term loan facility provides a commitment of $15,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the lending bank's approval. There was no loan balance outstanding against this facility at September 30, 2001. There was, however, a standby letter of credit totaling approximately $670,000 outstanding against this facility at September 30, 2001. This standby letter of credit was used to secure the Economic Development Revenue Bond assumed as part of the acquisition of Green. 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 at September 30, 2001 was approximately $1,310,000. The Company's credit agreement is subject to annual review by the lending bank. Under this agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2001, and for the nine months then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants. Capital spending for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was approximately $750,000. The total amount was provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for the rest of 2001 are expected to total approximately $220,000, some of which may be financed through the Company's credit facilities. Included in the expected total for the rest of 2001 are capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines and replacement of old equipment. 15 <Page> LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) 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 strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen over the last 12 months has had a positive effect on the Company's results of operations and its financial position. There can be no assurance however, that this situation will continue. See "Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 is effective for transactions entered into after March 15, 2001. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets". Among other intangible assets, this statement addresses how goodwill should be accounted for after it has been initially recognized in the financial statements. For years beginning after December 15, 2001, companies are no longer required to amortize goodwill but instead must evaluate the carrying value of the goodwill for impairment. If the goodwill is impaired, then the Company will be required to write down the carrying value of its goodwill to its estimated net realizable value at the time it is impaired. The Company has not determined the impact the adoption of this statement might have. 16 <Page> ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risks relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company attempts to reduce the risks related to foreign currency exchange rate 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 profit and operating expenses. 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 income statement. 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 for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure, not for speculation. 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. At September 30, 2001, the Company held open hedge forward contracts to deliver approximately $1,310,000 of Japanese yen. The potential loss in value of the Company's net investment in these foreign currency forward contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in yen exchange rates at September 30, 2001 is approximately $150,000. 17 <Page> PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
