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 consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 are presented as unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company,
they include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of
operations for those periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The consolidated balance sheet information for December 31, 1995 was
derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

    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.

    The Company conducts its business operations through two wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation ("Florida Pneumatic")
is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools for
the industrial, retail and automotive markets and 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. Embassy Industries,
Inc. ("Embassy") is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard and radiant
hot-water heating products. Embassy also imports, assembles and packages a line
of small hardware items through its Franklin Hardware division ("Franklin").


BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

    In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, 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.

                       ---------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are computed using the
treasury stock method, modified for stock options and warrants outstanding in
excess of 20% of the total outstanding shares of common stock. Under this
method, the aggregate number of shares outstanding reflects the assumed use of
proceeds from the hypothetical exercise of the outstanding options and warrants,
unless the effect on earnings per share is antidilutive. The assumed proceeds
are used to repurchase shares of common stock, to a maximum of 20% of the shares
outstanding. The balance of the proceeds, if any, are used to reduce outstanding
debt. Fully diluted earnings per share also reflects the assumed use of proceeds
from the hypothetical exercise of contingent issuances if such contingent
issuances have a reasonable possibility of occurring.

    In calculating the purchase price of common stock, the average market value
for the period is used for primary earnings per share and the greater of the
average or ending market value for the period is used for fully diluted earnings
per share.

    Net income or loss is adjusted for preferred dividends in computing the net
income or loss attributable to the common stock.

    Major classes of inventory were as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER
ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

    Consolidated revenues decreased 10.3%, from $10,798,608 to $9,691,210.
Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased 15.0%, from
$8,402,944 to $7,140,977. The loss of a large customer in late 1995 resulted in
a decrease in revenues of $743,642. The balance of the decrease in revenues from
pneumatic tools and related equipment was the result of lower sales to existing
customers. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment increased
approximately 2.7%.

    Revenues from heating equipment increased 10.9%, from $1,394,636 to
$1,546,595. Selling prices of heating equipment increased approximately 2.0%.
Revenues from hardware and the selling prices of hardware were both unchanged.

    Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased from
31.2% to 34.7%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment
increased from 30.2% to 35.5%, due to the increased selling prices and a more
favorable exchange rate of the dollar compared to the Japanese yen, which
reduced the cost of imported product. These improvements in gross profit were
partially offset by a less favorable product mix. Gross profit from heating
equipment decreased from 35.3% to 33.2%. Higher material costs and a less
favorable product mix more than offset the 2.0% increase in selling prices.
Gross profit from hardware decreased from 30.8% to 27.8%, due to a less
favorable product mix.

    Consolidated selling, administrative and general expenses were virtually
unchanged, but increased as a percentage of revenues, from 22.6% to 25.2%, due
to the decreased revenues.

                       ---------------------------------------
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1995

    Consolidated revenues decreased 6.7%, from $20,427,797 to $19,067,635.
Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased 11.1%, from
$15,662,830 to $13,925,344. The loss of a large customer in late 1995 resulted
in a decrease in revenues of $1,396,612. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and
related equipment increased approximately 2.8%.

    Revenues from heating equipment increased 7.6%, from $2,958,752 to
$3,183,256. Selling prices of heating equipment increased approximately 3.0%.
These higher selling prices and the increased sales of radiant heating products
accounted for the increase in revenues from heating equipment. Revenues from
hardware increased 8.0%, from $1,812,828 to $1,958,088. Selling prices of
hardware were unchanged.

    Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased from
32.4% to 34.6%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment
increased from 32.0% to 35.6%, due to the increased selling prices and a more
favorable exchange rate of the dollar compared to the Japanese yen, which
reduced the cost of imported product. These improvements in gross profit were
partially offset by a less favorable product mix. Gross profit from heating
equipment decreased from 34.6% to 33.2%. Higher material costs and a less
favorable product mix more than offset the 3.0% increase in selling prices.
Gross profit from hardware decreased from 28.3% to 25.9%, due to a less
favorable product mix.

    Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3.0%,
from $4,863,894 to $4,716,751, but increased as a percentage of revenues, from
23.8% to 24.7%, due to the decreased revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company gauges its liquidity and financial stability by the
measurements shown in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands):

                              JUNE 30,      DECEMBER 31,    JUNE 30,
                               1996            1995          1995
                             ---------      ------------   ---------
    Working Capital          $  16,491       $  15,838     $  15,053
    Current Ratio            3.62 to 1       2.54 to 1     3.42 to 1
    Shareholders' Equity     $  18,266       $  17,692     $  16,903


    During the six months ended June 30, 1996, gross accounts receivable
decreased by approximately $2,770,000. This decrease was the result of the
collection of the unusually high level of accounts receivable at December 31,
1995, including approximately $2,337,000 in one-time sales to a customer in
December 1995. Part of the monies received from the collection of these accounts
receivable was used to reduce short-term borrowings, which decreased by
approximately $1,710,000.

    The Company's credit facilities provide a line of credit totalling
$18,000,000. Of this amount, $14,000,000 is available for direct loans, letters
of credit and bankers' acceptances. At June 30, 1996, there were loans totalling
approximately $2,528,000 outstanding against this line of credit. In addition,
there was a commitment at June 30, 1996 of approximately $1,686,000 for letters
of credit. The total line of credit also includes $4,000,000 earmarked for
acquisitions subject to the lending bank's approval. The Company's credit
facilities also provide 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 June 30, 1996 was
approximately $1,732,000.

    The Company's credit facilities agreement is subject to annual review by
the lending bank. Under this agreement, the Company is required to adhere to
certain financial covenants. At June 30, 1996, and for the six months then
ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

    In April 1996, the mortgage on the Company's Farmingdale, New York facility
was refinanced. The original principal balance on the new mortgage was
$2,062,500. Payments of principal and interest are due monthly through May 2006,
at which time the entire remaining unpaid principal balance will be due. The
interest rate on the new mortgage is variable, as was the interest rate on the
previous mortgage. At June 30, 1996, the interest rate on the new mortgage was
approximately 7.9%, which was lower than the interest rate on the previous
mortgage.

                       ---------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

    The Company is currently conducting an extensive acquisition search. The
funds for an acquisition will be provided by the Company's credit facilities
described above. The total funds available, including cash derived from
operations, will be approximately $9,000,000.

    Capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately
$125,000. The total amount was provided from working capital. Capital
expenditures for the rest of 1996 are expected to total approximately $375,000,
some of which may be financed. Included in the expected total for 1996 are
capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product
lines and replacement of old equipment.

    On February 15, 1995, Florida Pneumatic purchased the assets and business
of Tradesman Tool Co., Inc. ("Tradesman"), a domestic manufacturer of heavy-duty
pipe wrenches. On March 31, 1995, Florida Pneumatic purchased the assets and
business of Intech Industries, Inc. ("Intech"), a domestic manufacturer of air
filters used in compressors. Cash totalling approximately $753,000 was paid for
these purchases. The operations of both Tradesman and Intech were merged into
the operations of Florida Pneumatic.

    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. Because of these steps taken
by the Company, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have not had a
significant negative effect on the Company's results of operations or its
financial position. Any future weakness of the dollar would again, however,
present a problem and there can be no certainty that the Company will continue
to be successful in its efforts to counter this problem.
