FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for 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 made by or on behalf of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”). The Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward lookingforward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Report”), and in its reports to stockholders. Any statements made in the Report that are not historical or current facts may be deemed to be forward looking statements. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “could”“could,” “should” and their opposites and similar expressions identify statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Any forward lookingforward-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, including those risk factors described in Item 1A of Part I, “Risk Factors” of this Report, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward lookingforward-looking statements. You are therefore cautioned against relying on any forward lookingforward-looking statements. 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 lookingforward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

 

A wide range of factors could materially affect our performance. In addition to the factors affecting specific business operations identified in connection with the description of these operations and the financial results elsewhere in this report, the following factors, among others, could adversely affect our business, including our results of operations or financial position:

 

·Risks associated with public health crises, including epidemics and pandemics.Certain of our products and parts are manufactured overseas, predominantly in Asia (primarily in China and Taiwan) and to a lesser degree in Europe (in Italy). The overseas manufacturing of such products and parts may be subject to disruption by public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics. The temporary or permanent loss of the services of any of such manufacturers could cause a significant disruption in our product supply chain and operations and lead to delays in product shipments. Most significantly, the recent spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and related quarantines and work and travel restrictions in China and Italy have disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, production of certain of our products, and could impair our ability to deliver products to some of our customers on a timely basis. Furthermore, a public health crisis could negatively impact spending in impacted regions, including our principal markets throughout the U.S. It could also negatively impact the staffing of our operations in the U.S. and the U.K., including our U.S.-based manufacturing facilities, and due to governmental mandates or other factors, we may need to temporarily suspend all operations in certain of our facilities.  The duration of the potential business disruptions and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The extent to which the coronavirus or other potential public health crises may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time

·Exposure to fluctuations in energy prices. Fluctuations in energy prices, including crude oil and gas prices, could negatively impact the activities of those of our customers involved in extracting, refining or exploring for crude oil and gas, resulting in a corresponding adverse effect on the demand for the products that they purchase from us.us. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of other economic factors that are beyond our control. Worldwide economic, political and military events, including war, terrorist activity, events in the Middle East and initiatives by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), have contributed, and are likely to continue to contribute, to price and volume volatility. Crude oil prices have been depressed. We believe thisSuch volatility could result in large part is due to increasing global supply of oil due to factors such as weakening demand from slowing economic growth in Europe and Asia and trends towards increased fuel-efficiency. The resulting negative shift in demand of our products by our customers has negatively impacted us, and could in the future have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

·Debt and debt service requirements. The amount of our debt from time to time could have important consequences. For example, it could: increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limit our ability to fund future capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate requirements and limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business.

·Borrowing and compliance with covenants under our credit facility. Our credit facility contains affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants, and default provisions. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our current credit agreement, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If the lenders were to accelerate the repayment of borrowings, to the extent we have significant outstanding borrowings at said time, we may not have sufficient assets to repay our asset basedasset-based credit facility and our other indebtedness. Also, should there be an event of default, or a need to obtain waivers following an event of default, we may be subject to higher borrowing costs and/or more restrictive covenants in future periods. Further, the amount available for borrowing under our asset-based revolving loan facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is determined by taking into account, among other things, our accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. Fluctuations in our borrowing base impact our ability to borrow funds pursuant to the revolving loan facility.

·Disruption in the global capital and credit markets.  If global economic and financial market conditions deteriorate, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In particular, lower consumer spending may result in reduced demand and orders for certain of our products, order cancellations, lower revenues, increased inventories, and lower gross margins. Further, if our customers experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital and credit markets to purchase our products, this could result in further reduced orders for our products, order cancellations, inability of customers to timely meet their payment obligations to us, extended payment terms, higher accounts receivable, reduced cash flows, greater expense associated with collection efforts and increased bad debt expense; and a severe financial difficulty experienced by our customers may cause them to become insolvent or cease business operations.

·The strength of the retail economy in the United States and abroad.  Our business is subject to economic conditions in major markets in which we operate, including recession, inflation, deflation, general weakness in retail and industrial markets,  as well as the exposure to liabilities under anti-corruption laws in various countries, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, currency instability, transportation delays or interruptions, sovereign debt uncertainties and difficulties in enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights, as well as natural disasters.  The strength of such markets is a function of many factors beyond our control, including interest rates, employment levels, availability of credit and consumer confidence.

 

 6

·Supply chain disruptions.  Risks associated with sourcing from overseas. We import finished goods and component parts. Any difficulty or inability on the part of manufacturers of our products or other participants in our supply chain in obtaining sufficient financing to purchase raw materials or to finance general working capital needs, or their inability to obtain raw materials due to shortages or other factors, may result in delays or non-delivery of shipments of our products. Additionally, material increases in raw material commodity prices could further adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. Our foreign suppliers may encounter interruption in their ability to continue to provide us with products on a short-term or long-term basis. Although we believe that there are redundant sources available and maintain multiple sources for most of our 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. Further, substantially all of our import operations are subject to customs’ requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements, bilateral actions or, in some cases unilateral action. Imported products and materials may, from time to time, be subject to tariffs or other trade measures in the U.S. Adverse changes in these import costs and restrictions, or our suppliers’ failure to comply with customs regulations or similar laws could harm our business. Specifically, in 2018 the United States announced the implementation of new tariffs which include items imported by us from China. The implementation of additional tariffs, or increased amounts on current tariffs, on items imported by us from China or other countries could increase our costs and could result in lowering our gross margin on products sold and could cause us to have to stop supplying certain customers.

 

·Importation delays. Our ability to import products in a timely and cost-effective manner may also be affected by conditions at ports or issues that otherwise affect transportation and warehousing providers, such as port and shipping capacity, labor disputes, severe weather or increased homeland security requirements in the U.S. and other countries. These issues could delay importation of products or require us to locate alternative ports or warehousing providers to avoid disruption to customers. These alternatives may not be available on short notice or could result in higher transit costs, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

·Risks associated with Brexit. We have operations in the United Kingdom, and as a result, we face risks associated with the potential uncertainty and disruptions that may lead up to and follow the U.K.’s exit from the European Union (“Brexit”), including with respect to volatility in exchange rates and interest rates and potential material changes to the regulatory regime applicable to our operations in the U.K. Brexit could adversely affect European or worldwide political, regulatory, economic or market conditions and could contribute to instability in global political institutions, regulatory agencies and financial markets. It is possible that Brexit will result in our U.K. operations becoming subject to materially different, and potentially conflicting, laws, regulations or tariffs which could require costly new compliance initiatives or changes to legal entity structures or operating practices. Furthermore, in the event the U.K. and the EU do not reach a trade agreement during a prescribed transition period, there may be additional adverse impacts on trade between the U.K. and the EU or countries outside the EU. Such impacts could adversely affect our business. The ultimate effects of Brexit on us will depend on the specific terms of any agreement the U.K. and the EU reach to provide access to each other’s respective markets.

·Customer concentration.  We have several key customers, twoone of which collectively accounted for approximately 43.4%20.7% of our 20162019 consolidated revenue and 53.5%27.2% of our consolidated accounts receivable.receivable at December 31, 2019. Loss of key customers or a material negative change in our relationships with our key customers (including delays or defaults in payments owed to us as a result of a negative change in the financial position of such key customers or otherwise) could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

·Adverse changes in currency exchange ratesrates.  A majority of our products are manufactured outside the United States, a portion of which are purchased in the local currency. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the exchange rates of various currencies against the United States dollar which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. We believe our most significant foreign currency exposures are the Taiwan dollar (“TWD”) and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Purchases from Chinese sources are made in U.S. dollars (“USD”). However, if the RMB were to be revalued against the dollar, there could be a significant negative impact on the cost of our products. Further, the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements is the USD. Certain of the company’sCompany’s assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are denominated in currencies other than the USD. In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are translated into USD at applicable exchange rates. Increases or decreases in exchange rates between the USD and other currencies affect the USD value of those items, as reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Substantial fluctuations in the value of the USD could have a significant impact on the company’sCompany’s financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, cash generated in non-U.S. jurisdictions may be difficult to repatriate to the United States in a tax-efficient manner.

 

·Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill.  The inability to generate future cash flows sufficient to support the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets could result in future impairment charges.

 

·Unforeseen inventory adjustments or changes in purchasing patterns.  We make 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 our assumptions result in inventory levels being too high or too low, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

·Market acceptance of products.  There can be no assurance that the market continues its acceptance of the products we introduced in recent years or will accept new products (including the introduction of products into new geographic markets) introduced or scheduled for introduction in 2017.2020. There can also be no assurance that the level of sales generated from these new products or geographic markets relative to our expectations will materialize.

 

·Competition.  The markets in which we sell our products are highly competitive on the basis of price, quality, availability, post-sale service and brand-name awareness. A number of competing companies are well-established manufacturers that compete on a global basis.

 

·Technology.Our business is subject to the evolution of technology over time. There can be no assurance that our current level of technology will be sufficient to satisfy our markets in the future.

·Price reductions.  Price reductions taken by us in response to customer and competitive pressures, as well as price reductions or promotional actions taken in order to drive demand, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

·Interest rates.  Interest rate fluctuations and other capital market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

·Litigation and insurance.  The effects of litigation and product liability exposure, as well as other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our public announcements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position. Further, while we maintain insurance policies to protect against most potential exposures, events may arise against which we may not be adequately insured.

 

·Retention of key personnel.  Our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of our key personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

8

·Acquisition of businesses.   Part of our business strategy is to opportunistically acquire complementary businesses, which involve risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks include:

8

·Loss or significant decline in the revenue of customers of the acquired businesses;
·Inability to integrate successfully the acquired businesses’ operations;
·Inability to coordinate management and integrate and retain employees of the acquired businesses;
·Difficulties in implementing and maintaining consistent standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems;
·Failure to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale or other anticipated benefits, or to maintain operating margins;
·Strain on our personnel, systems and resources, and diversion of attention from other priorities;
·Incurrence of additional debt and related interest expense;
·Unforeseen or contingent liabilities of the acquired businesses; and
·Large write-offs or write-downs, or the impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets.

 

·Regulatory environment.  We cannot anticipate the impact of 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. Increased legislative and regulatory activity and burdens, and a more stringent manner in which they are applied, could significantly impact our business and the economy as a whole.

·The threat of terrorism and related political instability and economic uncertainty.  The threat of potential terrorist attacks on the United States and throughout the world and political instability has created an atmosphere of economic uncertainty in the United States and in foreign markets. Our results may be impacted by the macroeconomic effects of those events. Also, a disruption in our supply chain as a result of terrorist attacks or the threat thereof may significantly affect our business and its prospects. In addition, such events may also result in heightened domestic security and higher costs for importing and exporting shipments of components and finished goods. Any of these occurrences may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flow or results in any reporting period.

·InformationBusiness disruptions or other costs associated with information technology, cyber-attacks, system implementations, data privacy, or catastrophic losses. We rely heavily on computer systems to manage and operate our businesses, and record and process transactions. Computer systems are important to production planning, customer service and order fulfillment among other business-critical processes. Consistent and efficient operation of the computer hardware and software systems is imperative to the successful sales and earnings performance. Despite efforts to prevent such situations, and loss control and risk management practices that partially mitigate these risks, our systems may be affected by damage or interruption from, among other causes, fire, natural disasters, power outages, system failures or computer viruses. Computer hardware and attacks could harmstorage equipment that is integral to efficient operations, such as e-mail, telephone and other functionality, is concentrated in certain physical locations in which we operate. Additionally, we rely on software applications and enterprise cloud storage systems and cloud computing services provided by third-party vendors, and our business.

ITEM 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

Overview

During 2016, our results of operations were impacted by a number of factors, some of which were:

·the sale of Nationwide effective February 11, 2016, for approximately $22.2 million;

·an impairment charge of $9.6 million on Hy-Tech’s goodwill and other intangible assets, resulting primarily from the on-going downturn in the oil and gas exploration and extraction sector;

·the on-going slow-down in oil and gas exploration and extraction, which continues to negatively impact our Tools segment;

·a decision by a Major customer of Hy-Tech to begin to manufacture internally certain air tools that were formerly manufactured by Hy-Tech contributed to the reduction in Hy-Tech’s total revenue;

·a significant reduction in orders from another major customer of Hy-Tech;

·a write-down of inventory at Hy-Tech of approximately $1 million due to weak demand, and;

·the sale of the real property in Tampa, Florida in November 2016 for approximately $3.75 million.

 

KEY INDICATORS

Recent global events

While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our ability to source certain of our products, particularly with respect to factories that we utilize located in China and Italy, we do not believe this alone is likely to have a material negative impact on our results for the foreseeable future. However, we believe the impact of the virus on the global economy, particularly within the U.S., is likely to have a material impact on our results for at least the next couple of fiscal quarters. Furthermore, many U.S. states and the United Kingdom have ordered certain types of businesses to stop physical operations to contend with the impact of this pandemic. While we believe that we are currently able to continue our operations at each of our operating locations, this could change at any time in the future. We are closely monitoring the situation and taking actions to protect the safety of our employees and communities. For example, among other things, we have restricted international and domestic travel, taken a variety of steps to ensure social distancing in our facilities, including working remotely where available, and have increased our cleaning and sanitizing procedures in our facilities. 

 

Economic Measures  

 

Much of our business is driven by the ebbs and flows of the general economic conditions in both the United States and, to a lesser extent, abroad. Additionally, we track the number of drilling rigs, particularly those located in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, weWe focus on a wide array of customer types including, but not limited to large retailers, automotive related customers, aerospace manufacturers, large and othersmall resellers of pneumatic tools and parts.parts, and automotive related customers. We tend to track the general economic conditions of the United States, industrial production and general retail sales.

 

A key economic measure relevant to us is the cost of the raw materials in our products. Key materials include metals, especially various types of steel and aluminum. Also important is the value of the (USD)United States Dollar (“USD”) in relation to the (TWD)Taiwanese dollar (“TWD”), as we purchase a significant portion of our products from Taiwan. Purchases from Chinese sources are made in USDs. However,USD; however, if the RMB,Chinese currency, the Renminbi (“RMB”), were to be revalued against the USD, there could be a significant negative impact on the cost of our products. As the result of the UAT acquisition,Additionally, we closely monitor the fluctuation in the Great British Pound (“GBP”) to the USD, and the GBP to TWD, both of which can have an impact on the consolidated results.

 

TheAs the result of several new tariffs imposed in the second half of 2018, specifically those imposed on products imported from China, we now must consider tariffs a key economic measure, as a significant portion of products imported by Florida Pneumatic for our Retail customers are subject to these tariffs.

Lastly, the cost and availability of a quality labor pool in the countries where products and components are manufactured, both overseas as well as in the United States, could materially affect our overall results.

 

Operating Measures  

 

Key operating measures we use to manage our businesses are:operations are orders; shipments; development of new products; customer retention; inventory levels and productivity. These measures are recorded and monitored at various intervals, including daily, weekly and monthly. To the extent these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detailed sections below for each operating segment.below.

 

Financial Measures

 

Key financial measures we use to evaluate the results of our businessesbusiness include: various revenue metrics; gross margin; selling, general and administrative expenses; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”);amortization; operating cash flows;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 are compared to historical periods as well as to established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detailed sections below for each business.detail below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain of these accounting policies require us 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, we evaluate our estimates including those relatedpertaining to such matters as bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserves, sales discounts and taxes. We base our estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.  Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies are further described below.

 

In addition to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, P&F considersWe consider the following policies and estimates to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and the uncertainties that could impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognizeOur accounting policy relating to revenue when persuasive evidencerecognition reflects the impact of an arrangement exists, delivery,the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification, (“ASC”) 606Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which occurs either upon shipment by us or upon receipt by customers at the location specifiedis discussed further in the terms of sale, or title has passedour Notes to our customer or services have been provided, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of our adoption of ASC 606 we record revenue based on a five-step model. We sell our goods on terms whichthat transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, typically shipping point,which may be our warehouse, destination designated by our customer, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods. Other than standard product warranty provisions, our sales arrangements provide for no other post-shipment obligations. We do 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.sale, using the most likely amount approach. We periodically evaluate whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, we have experienced minimal sales returns. If we believe there are material potential sales returns, we would provide the necessary provision against sales.

 

See Note 1 Performance obligations underlying our core revenue sources remain substantially unchanged. Our revenue is generated through the sale of finished products and is recognized at the point in time when merchandise is transferred to the customer with a fixed payment due generally within 30 to 90 days, and in an amount that considers the impacts of estimated allowances. Further, we have made a policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of the products as fulfillment costs rather than as an additional promised service. This election is consistent with our Consolidated Financial Statements for discussionprior policy, and therefore the adoption of ASC 606 relating to shipping and handling activities did not have any impact on Topic 606 – Revenue Recognition.our financial results. There are no remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2019.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We sell our products to retailers, distributors and OEMs involved in a variety of industries. We perform continuing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, and although we generally do not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from customers in certain circumstances. Management reviews accounts receivable to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Factors considered in the determination include, among other factors, number of days an invoice is past due, customer historical trends, available credit ratings information, other financial data and the overall economic environment. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines.

 

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also may record as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and our assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. We have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given consolidated balance sheet date. AnyFurther, any unanticipated change in the creditworthiness of any of theseour customers could have a material effect on our 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, we believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 20162019 and 20152018 were adequate. However, actual write-offs in future periods could exceed the recorded allowance.

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method or the weighted average method.first-out. Inventory, which includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs, is recorded net of an allowance for obsolete or slow movingslow-moving inventory (“OSMI”), as well as unmarketable inventory. Such allowance is based upon historical experience and management’s understanding of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand. Specifically, at Florida Pneumatic and Jiffy we generally place a 100% reserve on inventory that has not had any sales or usage in more than two years. Hy-Tech’s methodology is primarily based on inventory turns, with inventory items that turn less frequently, receiving a greater allowance. Changes in our OSMI impact the Company’s cost of goods sold,our balance sheet, gross profit, and net earnings.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

In accordance and compliance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), we test goodwill for impairment on an annual basisbasis. This test is performed as of the last day in November, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment might exist. Goodwill is tested at a level of reporting referred to as "the reporting unit." The Company'sOur reporting units are Hy-Tech and Florida Pneumatic. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The first step used to identify potential impairment compares the calculated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists, and the second stepno further action is not performed.required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity is required to performwill record an impairment charge based on the second stepexcess of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of thea reporting unit goodwill with theunit's carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the impliedover its fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess. The Companyvalue.

We also teststest indefinite-lived intangible assets consisting of acquired trade names, for impairment at least annually as of the last day of November. The evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets requires that management prepare estimates of future operating results for each of the operating units. These estimates are made with respect to future business conditions and estimated expected future cash flows to determine estimated fair value. However, if, in the future, key drivers in our assumptions or estimates such as (i) a material decline in general economic conditions; (ii) competitive pressures on our revenue, or our ability to maintain margins; (iii) significant price increases from our vendors that cannot be passed through to our customers; and (iv) breakdowns in supply chain, or other possible factors beyond our control occur, an impairment charge against our intangible assets may be required.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We review long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference.

 

Factors which may cause an impairment of long-lived assets include significant changes in the manner of use of these assets, negative industry or market trends, a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, or a likely sale or disposal of the asset before the end of its estimated useful life. If any of these factors exist, we are required to test the long-lived asset for recoverability and may be required to recognize an impairment charge for all or a portion of the asset's carrying value.

 

14

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of current tax assets or liabilities for the amounts refundable or payable on tax returns for the current year, as well as the recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that can arise between (a) the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income for a year, such as from net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits, and (b) the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, is reflected in the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in the period enacted. Further, we evaluate the likelihood of realizing benefit from our deferred tax assets by estimating future sources of taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

We file a consolidated Federal tax return. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries file combined tax returns in New York, California, Illinois and Texas. All subsidiaries, other than UAT, file other state and local tax returns on a stand-alone basis. UAT files an income tax return with the taxing authorities in the United Kingdom.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while other positions are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income taxes in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The authoritative guidance for income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) such assets will not be realized. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents our best estimate of those future events. Changes in estimates, due to unanticipated events or otherwise, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We continually evaluate our deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Act. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election to either (i) account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which they are subject to the rules (the period cost method), or (ii) account for GILTI in the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the deferred method). After completing the analysis of the GILTI provisions, we elected to account for GILTI using the period cost method.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2016 compared to 2015MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

 

Continuing operationsOverview

 

Unless otherwise discussed elsewhereDuring 2019, significant factors that impacted our results of operations were:

·In June we sold the Jupiter Facility resulting in a $7.8 million gain;

·A major roll-out of a then refreshed line of pneumatic tools to The Home Depot in 2018, which did not reoccur in 2019;

·The slow down and eventual suspension of production  of Boeing’s “737 Max” jet in 2019;

·Lower gross margin at Hy-tech, due in part to product/customer mix, under absorption, costs associated with the implementation of an enterprise-wide information technologies system conversion and increased obsolescence;

·Acquisition by Hy-Tech in October 2019 of two gears businesses.

In mid-2018, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) began imposing additional tariffs on certain Chinese-made products. These additional tariffs raised the cost of a significant number of products that we sell, primarily to The Home Depot (“THD”). We were able to mitigate the impact of these tariffs through price negotiations with our overseas manufacturer and/or our customer. During 2019, in an effort to further minimize or eliminate the Management’s Discussion and Analysis,effects of the additional tariffs, we arranged to have the manufacturing of many of the high tariff products relocated from China to other Asian nations.

Lastly, we believe that over time, several newer technologies and features will have a greater impact on the market for our relationships with our key customers and suppliers, given current economic conditions, remain satisfactory.traditional pneumatic tool offerings. The impact of this evolution has been felt initially by the advent of advanced cordless operated hand tools in the automotive aftermarket. We believe economic uncertainty, both domestically and abroad, continue to impact the overall U.S. general economy. Further, we also believe that the domestic and global oil and gas exploration and extraction markets continue to be adversely impacted by these uncertainties and other factors, allperform a cost-benefit analysis of which continue to negatively affect certain markets that both Hy-Tech, and to a lesser degree, Florida Pneumatic service. Additionally, we continue to encounter weaknessdeveloping or incorporating more advanced technologies in other markets that Hy-Tech serves, such as power generation and construction. Lastly, it should be noted that Hy-Tech is encountering growing pressure from Asian–sourced pneumatic tools.our tool platforms.

 

Other than the aforementioned, or matters that may be discussed in more detail below, there wereare no major trends or uncertainties that had, or we could have reasonably expect couldexpected to have a material impact on our revenue, nor was there any unusual or infrequent event, transaction or any significant economic change that materially affected our results of operations.

 

During Unless otherwise discussed elsewhere in the first quarter of 2016,Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we sold Nationwidebelieve that our relationships with our key customers and suppliers remain satisfactory.

Florida Pneumatic

During the third quarter of 2018, Florida Pneumatic commenced the shipment to THD of an improved line of pneumatic tools, which replaced much of THD’s previous product offering. Gross margin for the new product line is projected to be approximately 2% less than recent historic levels. Further, in an effort to assist THD in promoting the roll out, Florida Pneumatic agreed to contribute approximately $1,088,000 to THD. This contribution is being ratably amortized over a four-year period commencing August 2018 and will be tested for impairment during said period.

 

Florida Pneumatic markets its air tool products to threefour primary sectors within the pneumatic tool market; Retail, Industrial/catalogAutomotive, Industrial and the AutomotiveAerospace market. It also generates revenue from its Berkley products line, as well as a line of air filters and other OEM parts (“Other”).

A primary factor forThe most significant component to the increasedecline in Florida Pneumatic’s Retailfull-year 2019 revenue, this quarter, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015,full-year 2018 was a delay in receiving certain orders from Searslower sales to THD. It should be noted that during the third quarter of 2016,2018, Florida Pneumatic shipped approximately $3.6 million of a then new, refreshed line of pneumatic tools and accessories to THD, whereas during 2019 there were no similar special or promotional orders. Additionally, we believe the reduction in our Retail revenue was partially due to THD being in an overstocked position at the end of 2018, which were received and fulfilledcaused a reduction in orders during the early part of 2019. The decline in year-over-year Aerospace revenue was due primarily to significant orders being shipped to a customer in the fourthfirst quarter of 2016. Revenue attributable2018 not repeating in 2019, and to The Home Depot improved approximately 1%, whena lesser degree, the decision by Boeing to reduce/suspend production of its 737 Max aircraft. When comparing the fourth quarter of 20162019 Industrial revenue to 2015. The cause ofthat generated in 2018, the decline was due primarily to overall sluggishness in the sector and reduced orders from certain customers that service the aircraft industry that have been negatively affected by the reduction in production by Boeing of civilian aircraft. Automotive revenue this quarter,for the year 2019 improved compared to the same periodfull year revenue in 2015, was2018 primarily due to two AIRCAT major customers/distributors during the fourth quarter putting in place an internal inventory reduction plan, and a decline in revenue at our UAT subsidiary located in the United Kingdom. A portion of UAT’s revenue is derived from the sale of pneumatic air tools to customers that are located in the North Sea region of Scotland, and whose businesses are primarily in the oil and gas sector. This region continues to feel the effects of the ongoing weakness in global oil and gas exploration. Lastly as relates to UAT, we are currently in the process of developing a marketing strategy that we believe should enable UAT to expand its presence into other Western European countries; however, no specific timetable has been established for the launch of this program. We continuea new line of tools. This new line features enhanced vibration reduction technology and longer life of the internal mechanism. The reduction in revenue from our Other product lines was due to encounter weaknesses in the Industrial/catalog market, with the decline thisquarter comparedpart to the same period a year ago, occurring most notably intheaerospaceand oil and gas exploration/production channels. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we shipped special orders of approximately $124,000, while only shipping $43,000 during the fourth quarter of 2016.

When comparing Florida Pneumatic’s full-year 2016 revenuedecision to 2015, the most significant factor contributingadjust its focus away from its smaller lines to the increase is the growth in its Automotive toolsmore profitable product line, which increased 13.8% over the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by new and improved tools, as well as an expanded customer base. The average exchange rate after Brexit was 10.9% lower than the average exchange rate before Brexit. This decline effectively increased the price of all imported products into the UK, which in turn created a slowdown in consumer spending. It is difficult to ascertain the impact on UAT’s revenue as a result of Brexit, however we believe that when UAT’s second half of 2016 revenue was converted to USD, lost revenue during 2016 was approximately $154,000. Florida Pneumatic’s Retail revenue improved when comparing full-year 2016 to 2015, due to higher sales from Sears in 2016, with 2016 revenue from The Home Depot effectively flat to that reported in 2015. The aforementioned increases were partially offset by the decline in revenue of its Industrial/catalog lines where the on-going oil and gas exploration and extraction, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico region, slowdown continues. Additionally, during 2015, we shipped approximately $767,000 of special orders, while shipping only $454,000 during 2016, which contributed to the decline in our Industrial/catalog revenue.

We have elected not to renew our supply agreement with Sears, which will expire on September 30, 2017. While Sears remains at or close to complying with its payment terms to Florida Pneumatic, this difficult decision was based on a number of factors including Sears’ continuing financial difficulties, the sale of the Craftsman brand to Stanley Black & Decker and our level of working capital exposure in relation to our return on that investment with Sears. It is anticipated that our Sears inventory exposure should be eliminated by September 30, 2017 and that all accounts receivable should be collected by December 2017. However, at the present time, there can be no assurance that events may occur that would prevent our recovery of our working capital exposure.lines.

Hy-Tech’s revenue overall increased in 2019, compared to 2018 by 7.3%. The 34.4% net increase in Hy-Tech’s OEM revenue was driven primarily onby Hy-Tech’s Engineered Solutions products offering, which is designed to exploit Hy-Tech’s expertise in engineering and manufacturing and enable it to pursue alternate, non-traditional markets and develop different applications for its tools, motors and related accessories. We believe the industrial sectordevelopment of the Engineered Solutions offering will continue to provide Hy-Tech an opportunity to generate additional sources of revenue in the future. Hy-Tech continues to see a decline in the marketplace for pneumatic tools market.  Hy-Tech manufactures and markets its own value-added linereplacement parts, the primary factor for the 13.3% decline in ATP revenue. Historically, a major component of air toolsHy-Tech’s revenue was derived from the oil and parts, including the ATSCO product line, as well as distributes a complementary line of sockets,gas sector, which weakened in the aggregate are referredsecond half of 2019. As a result, it intends to as “ATP”.emphasize its Engineered Solutions product offering, and other newer technologies. As such, it is likely that Hy-Tech Machine also manufactures non-pneumatic products primarily marketed tomay encounter reduced ATP revenue in the mining, constructionfuture. Lastly, it believes the acquisition in October 2019 of the operating assets of Blaz-Man Gear, Inc. and industrial manufacturing sectors. Hy-Tech Machine data below also includes sales of gears, and hydraulic stoppers.Gear Products & Manufacturing, Inc. (the “Gears Acquisition”) should contribute strong gross margin gear related revenue in 2020.

There are three primary factors that contributed to the decline in this year’s ATP fourth quarter revenue, compared to the same period a year ago. These factors are:

·Approximately $684,000 of the decline this quarter of ATP revenue is due to a large customer that was acquired in the ATSCO acquisition dramatically reducing its purchases. We believe this decline in orders from this customer is due primarily to excess inventory they acquired in 2015, and a slow recovery of the oil and gas exploration sector, which is its most significant sector.
·The decision by a former major customer of Hy-Tech to source internally, certain impact wrenches and other products that it had formerly purchased from Hy-Tech. This action contributed to $309,000 of the decline in ATP revenue. We continue to sell to this customer; however the loss of the impact wrenches has negatively impacted gross margin as well as revenue.
·Lower current pricing of domestic oil and gas compared to prior years continues to negatively impact ATP product revenue. Additionally, Hy-Tech is encountering pricing competition from Asian-sourced parts and tools. As a result, revenue from the sale of ATP parts and tools, as well as from the complimentary line of sockets, has declined approximately $130,000 this quarter, compared to the same period in 2015. We believe that should the oil and gas sector remain at or near current levels of exploration and extraction, it is likely that future periods may not reflect an increase over comparable prior periods for some time, even if trending upwards, chronologically. According to Baker Hughes Incorporated, the total United States rig count has increased to 658 as of December 30, 2016, from 522 as of September 30, 2016. However, a significant portion of Hy-Tech’s oil and gas sector revenue is driven by activity from rigs that operate off-shore, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico, where the rig count has remained relatively constant during the fourth quarter of 2016, ranging from 21 rigs to 24 rigs, whereas during the same period in 2015 the rig count in the Gulf of Mexico ranged from 23 to 34. Additionally, we believe that there has not been a meaningful increase or growth in the number of “turn-arounds” or plant maintenance activities, which tend to require the tools and parts that Hy-Tech manufactures and sells. Until such time as when major plant turn-arounds increase, and related activity levels return to recent historic levels, it is difficult to predict when this sector of the ATP category will improve. To combat this decline in revenue, in early 2016 we began to pursue alternate markets where we can exploit our manufacturing expertise, and develop different applications for our tools, motors and accessories. We believe the development of this new marketing strategy should provide Hy-Tech the ability to generate revenue from new markets in the foreseeable future that should complement its current markets such as oil and gas extraction and power generation. Revenue from new sources during the fourth quarter of 2016 was approximately $173,000, and is included in the ATP grouping.

When analyzing Hy-Tech’s full year 2016 revenue compared to full year 2015, the primary causes were consistent with those occurring during the fourth quarter, namely:GROSS MARGIN

 

·The decline throughout 2016 in shipments to a large ATSCO customer accounted for more than $1,204,000 of the shortfall in ATP revenue. We believe this decline in orders from this customer is due primarily to excess inventory they acquired in 2015, and a slow recovery of the oil and gas exploration sector, which is its most significant sector.
·The decision by a former major customer to replace most of the products previously manufactured by Hy-Tech with products manufactured internally. This decision resulted in a decline in 2016 ATP revenue of approximately $950,000, compared to the prior year.
·Revenue from ATP parts, tools and motors, as well as from the complimentary line of sockets, declined approximately $1,239,000 this year, compared to 2015. As noted above, Hy-Tech began recognizing revenue from its initiative to market its products and to new alternate markets. Revenue from these new sources during 2016 was approximately $274,000, and is included in the ATP grouping.

Florida Pneumatic’s Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2016 was essentially the same as the fourth quarter of 2015, improving 0.2 percentage point, or twenty basis points. We determine fair value of Hy-Tech’s inventory based on turnover ratio. Primarily the result of weak market conditions The improvement in key sectors serviced by Hy-Tech, such as oil and gas exploration and extraction and power generation, we determined that it was necessary to lower the carrying value of certain components of its inventory. This additional increase in Hy-Tech’s obsolete and slow moving inventory (“OSMI”) allowance this quarter of approximately $257,000 negatively impacted its fourth quarter of 2016’s gross profit and gross margins. Further, Hy-Tech’s gross margin this quarter is lower,at Florida Pneumatic in 2019, compared to the same period in 2015, due in part to lower overhead absorption, whichprior year, was due primarily to lowera) its decision to greatly reduce AIRCAT promotional programs in 2019 that were offered during much of 2018, b) during 2019, Jiffy was able to phase in various price increases, c) Jiffy improved its manufacturing activity, driven by the ongoing weakness in several key sectors as well asefficiencies, d) overall Florida Pneumatic strengthened its product / customer mix, and e) a large reduction in activity with key customers.sales to our low margin retail customer compared to 2018. 

 

The primary factors contributing to the increase in Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin for 2016, compared to 2015, include more favorable product mix, favorable foreign currency exchange rates, improved overhead absorption and slightly lower cost of product. Hy-Tech’s gross margin during 2016 has been adversely affected by the effects of the ongoing weakness in several of the sectors in which it markets its products and services such as the oil and gas sector, power generation and manufacturing, sectors critical to Hy-Tech’s revenue. This on-going weakness has caused Hy-Tech to significantly increase its OSMI. The additional increase7.0 percentage point decline in Hy-Tech’s OSMI during 2016 was $1,001,000. Additionally, contributing to the decline of Hy-Tech’s 20162019 gross margin was due to a number of factors: a) unusually high overhead and manufacturing costs incurred during the fact thatthree-month period ended March 31, 2019, in areas such as repairs and maintenance and sample costs; b) under absorption of manufacturing overhead, a significant portion occurring in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to an enterprise-wide information technologies system conversion during 2016 Hy-Tech manufacturedthe first quarter, which caused the facility to halt production for several days, c) increased charges in obsolete and sold an extremely lowslow-moving inventory, d) weaker gross margin product linemix of items sold in 2019, compared to a key customer it acquiredthose sold in the ATSCO acquisition. We do not intend2018; and e) increased material and labor costs. In an effort to continue to manufacture this product line; however, it is likely there will be a residual effect onimprove its gross margin in 2017, as2020, Hy-Tech sells its remaining related inventory. Lastly, until such time whenintends to increase the marketsselling price of several high-volume items, source less expensive parts imported from overseas and expand a cost reduction program that Hy-Tech services improves, and associated revenue strengthens, it is possible that Hy-Tech could encounter additional OSMI charges.was put in place in late 2019.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead and certain engineering expenses.

  

During the fourth quarter of 2016, ourOur SG&A during 2019 was $4,522,000,$21,869,000, compared to $4,323,000 during$21,705,000 in 2018. Significant components to the same three-month period in 2015. Significant items contributing to thisnet increase include: (i) variablea) professional fees and services increased $392,000, due primarily to costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Gears Acquisition in October 2019 (see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements); b) governance costs increased $133,000, due primarily from additional costs incurred in 2019 in connection with an expanded examination of our internal controls; c) non-cash impairment charges during 2019 of approximately $99,000 related to a reduction of our Right-of-Use asset, which include such things as commissions, warranty costs, freight out and advertising/promotional fees, increasedresulted from a decision by $118,000 during the fourth quarter of 2016, comparedHy-Tech to vacate a facility in Punxsutawney, PA prior to the same periodlease expiration and an adjustment to the fair value of certain machinery and equipment of approximately $95,000. The above increases were partially offset by a) a decrease of $221,000 in the prior year, driven primarily by the increase in our AIRCAT sales, and (ii) compensation expenses, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives and associated payroll taxes and employee benefits increased $244,000, when comparing the fourth quarterbenefits; b) a decrease of 2016$189,000 in variable expenses, due primarily to lower Retail revenue. Variable expenses include such expenses as, commissions, freight out, advertising and promotion expenses and travel and entertainment; c) 2019 stock-based compensation declined $91,000, compared to the same periodamount in the prior year. During the fourth quarter of 2016, cash compensation paid to employees was relatively unchanged compared to the same period in the prior year. However, in connection with our reporting of the sale of Nationwide, we allocated a portion of our corporate overhead, which was attributable to Nationwide being accounted for as Discontinued operations, thus resulting in a lower expense in the fourth quarter of 2015. Partially offsetting the above increases was a reduction in amortization expense of $96,000, due primarily to the impairment of certain Hy-Tech intangible assets, lower professional fees and stock-based compensation of $21,000 and $12,000, respectively.

Our SG&A incurred for the full year 2016 was $19,610,000, compared to $19,157,000 incurred during the full-year 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, total variable costs and expenses increased over the prior year by $503,000. Variable costs include such expenses as advertising, freight-out, commissions and warranty. This increase was driven primarily by the $1,771,000 increase in Automotive sales, and to a lesser degree the $630,000 increase in Retail revenue. Additionally, compensation costs, as defined earlier, increased $321,000. Actual total compensation paid to employees was essentially unchanged from the prior period. However, $403,000 of 2015 total compensation costs was allocated to discontinued operations related to the sale of Nationwide. In 2016, we owned Nationwide for approximately a month and a half, and did not allocate any of the same compensation items. The above increases in our SG&A were partially offset by reductions in our amortization of intangible assets of $222,000 due primarily to the impairment charges recorded during the second and fourth quarter of this year, professional fees of $96,000, and stock-based compensation of $57,000.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETSEXPENSE - NET

 

During 2018 we adjusted the second quarter of 2016, we determined that an interim impairment analysisfair value of the goodwill recorded in connection with Hy-Tech and ATSCO was necessary based uponcontingent consideration of a number of factors, which included: i) continued weakness in oil and gas exploration and extraction; ii)obligation to the recent loss of a major portion of revenue from one of its larger customers; and iii) recent significant reductions/guidance of forecasted purchases from the largest customer acquired in the ATSCO acquisition. As a result of the aforementioned it was determined that Hy-Tech’s short and long-term projections indicated an inability to generate sufficient discounted future cash flows to support the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets necessitating the impairment charge. As a result, in accordance with current accounting literature, we recorded an impairment charge of $8,311,000 relating to goodwill and other intangible assets during the second quarter of 2016.Jiffy Seller by $150,000.

 

18

During our annual testing for impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets, we determined that, primarily the result of further degradation in Hy-Tech’s revenue, which in turn produced lower results of operations than had been previously re-forecast in May 2016, Hy-Tech’s goodwill and other intangibles were impaired. The unforeseen further decline in their revenue began in October 2016 and continues into 2017.As a result, we re-examined Hy-Tech’sprojections and determined that it would not have the ability to generate sufficient discounted future cash flows to support the recorded amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets, thus necessitating an impairment charge. As a result, in accordance with current accounting literature, we recorded an impairment charge of $880,000 relating to goodwill and $390,000 to other intangible assets. We believe that while we continue to make positive modifications within Hy-Tech, which includes among other actions, changes in personnel and “go-to-market” strategies, should market conditions in the sectors in which Hy-Tech operates worsen, we could incur additional impairment charges in future periods.  See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

GAIN ON SALE OF REAL PROPERTY

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Net income from Discontinued Operations as reported on our Consolidated Financial Statements represents Nationwide’s results of operations for the period January 1, 2016 through the Closing Date, and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The SG&A incurred during the period January 1, 2016 through the Closing Date, includes that of Nationwide plus $19,000 of expenses incurred at the corporate level that is specifically attributable to Nationwide. Nationwide’s SG&A for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, includes all of Nationwide plus approximately $163,000 and $461,000, respectively, of corporate expenses directly attributable to Nationwide. Further, in accordance with current accounting guidance, we have included, as part of discontinued operations, all interest expense incurred attributable to our Bank borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2015, and for the period January 1, 2016 through the Closing Date.

We recognized a gain of $12,512,000 on the sale of Nationwide which represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying book value of Nationwide. For income tax purposes, our tax basis in Nationwide was greater than the net proceeds resulting in a tax loss and thus recorded a tax benefit of $482,000. This tax loss can only be applied against future capital gain transactions. In November 2016, Countrywide completed the sale of the Tampa, Florida real property, which, for tax purposes is treated as a capital gain transaction and utilized the $482,000 tax benefit generated from the sale of Nationwide. See Note 2 in our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted. Among other things this Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously deferred, created new provisions related to foreign sourced earnings, eliminated the domestic manufacturing deduction and moved to a hybrid territorial system. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, income tax effects of the Act were refined upon obtaining, preparing, and analyzing additional information during the measurement period. At December 31, 2018, the Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our cash flows from operations can be somewhat cyclical, with the greatest demand for cash typically in the first and third quarters. We monitor such metrics as days’ sales outstanding, inventory requirements, accounts payable and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs, as well as evaluate return on assets. Our primary sources of funds are operating cash flows and our Revolver Loan (“Revolver”) with our bank.

 

We gauge our liquidity and financial stability by various measurements, some of which are shown in the following table:

Credit Facilityfacility

 

In October 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Our Credit Agreement”) with an affiliateFacility is discussed in detail in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

The average balance of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”, orshort-term borrowings during the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement, among other things, provides the ability to borrow funds under the Revolver arrangement. Revolver borrowings atyears ended December 31, 2016 are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, equipment2019 and mortgages on real property located in Cranberry, PA2018, were $4,253,000 and Jupiter, FL (“Real Property”). P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries.$3,113,000, respectively.

 

At our option, Revolver borrowings bear interest at either LIBOR (“London InterBank Offered Rate”) or the Base Rate, as the term is defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We are subject to limitations on the number of LIBOR borrowings.

In August 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Restated Loan Agreement”) with Capital One. The Restated Loan Agreement, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the total amount of the credit facility from $29,423,000 to $33,657,000, (2) increasing the Revolver from $20,000,000 to $22,000,000, (3) creating a new Term Loan, as defined in the Restated Loan Agreement (“Term Loan B”), and (4) re-designating as “Term Loan A”, the previously existing outstanding Term Loan, which relates primarily to the Company’s Real Property. In addition, the Restated Loan Agreement also reset certain financial covenants.

Contemporaneously with the sale of Nationwide in February 2016, we entered into the Consent and Second Amendment to the Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Capital One. The Amendment, among other things; provided the Bank’s consent to the transactions contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement and the repurchase of certain shares and options discussed in Note 2 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and amended the Restated Loan Agreement by: (a) reducing the aggregate Commitment (as defined in the Restated Loan Agreement) to $11,600,000; (b) reducing the Term Loan A to $100,000; (c) reducing the Revolver Commitment to $10,000,000 (less the new Term Loan A balance of $100,000); (d) reducing the Capex Loan Commitment to $1,600,000; (e) modifying certain financial covenants, (f) lowering interest rate margins and fee obligations; and (g) extending the expiration of the Credit Agreement to February 11, 2019. Additionally, the bank released the mortgage on our Tampa, FL Real Property. We believe that despite the reduction in the overall facility, our cash requirements to operate our business will be funded by operations and the Revolver. Further, we believe that should a need arise whereby the current credit facility is insufficient,insufficient; we can borrow additional amounts against our Real Propertyreal property or other assets.

 

The net funds provided bySale of Real Property

Effective June 18, 2019 (the “Jupiter Closing Date”), Florida Pneumatic completed the sale of Nationwidereal property located in Jupiter, Florida in which it conducts its principal operations (the “Jupiter Facility”). The Jupiter Facility was purchased by an unrelated third party for purchase price of approximately $18.7 million were used to pay down the Revolver, the Cap-Ex loans$9.2 million. After broker fees and the Term Loan A; however, the Amendment provided for $100,000 to remain outstanding under the Term Loan A. Leaving this balance will simplify potential future increasesother expenses relating to the term loan, shouldsale, the Company require and should Capital One be willingreceived approximately $8.7 million. See Note 1 to provide such funding.our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

We provide to Capital One among other things, monthly financial statements, monthly borrowing base certificates and quarterly certificates of compliance with various financial covenants. We believe we are in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants. As part of the Restated Loan Agreement, if an event of default occurs, the interest rate would increase by two percent per annum during the period of default, in addition to other remedies provided to Capital One.

At December 31, 2016, we had $9,836,000 of open order commitments, compared to $10,224,000 at December 31, 2015.

Based upon the current number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding at December 31, 2016, each quarterly cash dividend will require approximately $180,000. The Company continues to maintain the dividend policy; however, the declaration of dividends under this policy going forward is dependent upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s board of directors.

As the result of the sale of Nationwide in February and the sale of the real property in Tampa, Florida and cash flows from operations, we were able to reduce our total bank debt to $100,000 at December 31, 2016 from $16,066,000 at December 31, 2015, which resulted in ourlockboxes.

The major portion of these planned capital expenditures will be for new metal cutting equipment, tooling and information technology hardware and software.

In October 2019, we completed the Gears Acquisition for approximately $3.5 million, which was funded from Revolver borrowings. See Note 2 – to our Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information relating to this transaction.  

During 2019 our Board of Directors approved the payment of dividends of $0.05 per common share to the shareholders of record in March 2019, May 2019, August 2019, and November 2019.

The aggregate of such dividend payments was approximately $632,000 and $723,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

December 31, 2019 and 2018

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

The Company's performance obligations underlying its core revenue sources remain substantially unchanged. Its revenue is generated through the sale of finished products and is generally recognized at the point in time when merchandise is transferred to the customer with a fixed payment due generally within 30 to 90 days, and in an amount that considers the impacts of estimated allowances. Further, the Company has made a policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of the products as fulfillment costs rather than as an additional promised service. This election is consistent with the Company’s prior policy, and therefore the adoption of ASC 606 relating to shipping and handling activities did not have any impact on its financial results. There are no remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2019.

The Company analyzes its revenue as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 20162019 and 2015.2018.

  

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 20162019 and 20152018 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, 20162019 and 20152018 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. 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.

 

Management reviews accounts receivable to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Factors considered in the determination include, among other factors, number of days an invoice is past due, customer historical trends, available credit ratings information, other financial data and the overall economic environment. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines.

 

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 effect 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, 20162019 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company places the majority of its cash with its primary bank, Capital One Bank, National Association (“Capital One”), which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Significant concentrations of credit risk may arise from the Company’s cash maintained at Capital One, as from time to time cash balances may exceed the FDIC limits.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. We have two customersThe Company had one customer that in the aggregate, asaccounted for 27.2% and 32.6% of its consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 20162019 and 2015,December 31, 2018, respectively. Further, this customer accounted for 53.5%20.7% and 47.0%, respectively,26.5% of the Company’s consolidated revenue in 2019 and 2018, respectively. There was no other customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated accounts receivable. To date, these customers remain atrevenue in 2019 or close to complying with their payment terms. 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, possible disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis P&F evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of inventories, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets and income taxes.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method or the weighted average method. The inventory balance, which includes raw 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 less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Generally, the Company capitalizes items in excess of $1,000. Minor replacements and maintenance and repair items are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

Depreciation of buildings and machinery and equipment is computed by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over periods ranging from 27.5 to 31 years, and machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset, whichever is shorter.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), pertaining to the accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company’s assessment of recoverability of property and equipment is performed on an entity level. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of such asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration, if any, are recorded as of the date of the acquisition at their respective fair values. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred and that restructuring costs be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. Generally, the Company engages third party valuation appraisal firms to assist it in determining the fair values and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company records a preliminary purchase price allocation for its acquisitions and finalizes purchase price allocations as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets acquired become known.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

 

Goodwill is carried at cost less any impairment charges. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to an annual test for impairment at the entity unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) and between annual tests in certain circumstances. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB,Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”), the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. This test occurs in the fourth quarter or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totalitycarrying amount of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value, of the Company’s reporting units with the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the expected present value of future cash flowsno impairment exists, and the market valuation approach.no further action is required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’sits fair value, the Company performsentitywill record an impairment charge based on the second stepexcess of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of thea reporting unit’s goodwill with theunit's carrying amount of that goodwill. The measurement of goodwill subsequent toover its initial recognition complies with the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB.fair value.

 

Intangible assets other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, generally 3 to 20 years.

 

Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold, and use is based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Warranty Liability

 

The Company offers certain warranties against product defects for periods ranging from one to three years. Certain products carry limited lifetime warranties. 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.costs. The costs are estimated based on revenue and historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as 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.in the future.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of current tax assets or liabilities for the amounts refundable or payable on tax returns for the current year, as well as the recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that can arise between (a) the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income for a year, such as from net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits, and (b) the tax bases of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, is reflected in the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in the period enacted. Further, we evaluatethe Company evaluates the likelihood of realizing benefit from our deferred tax assets by estimating future sources of taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

  

The Company files a consolidated Federal tax return. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries file combined tax returns in New York, California, Illinois and Texas. All subsidiaries, other than UAT, file other state and local tax returns on a stand-alone basis. UAT files an income tax return to the taxing authorities in the United Kingdom.

The authoritative guidance for income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) such assets will not be realized. The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidatedCompany's financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. The Company's accounting for deferred tax consequences represents its best estimate of those future events. Changes in the Company's estimates, due to unanticipated events or otherwise, could have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. The Company continually evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted. Among other things this Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously deferred, created new provisions related to foreign sourced earnings, eliminated the domestic manufacturing deduction and comprehensive income.moves to a hybrid territorial system. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), income tax effects of the Act were refined upon obtaining, preparing, and analyzing additional information during the measurement period. At December 31, 2018, the Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act.

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Act. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election to either (i) account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which they are subject to the rules (the period cost method), or (ii) account for GILTI in the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the deferred method). After completing the analysis of the GILTI provisions, the Company elected to account for GILTI using the period cost method.

The lease is for a term of five years, with either party able to terminate after four years. The initial monthly base rent under the lease is $32,345 with annual escalations of 3%. Florida Pneumatic will also be responsible for certain other payments of “additional rent” as set forth in the lease, including certain taxes, assessments and operating expenses. The Company considered the guidance in the current accounting literature relating to the recognition of the gain and determined that the full amount of $7,817,000 should be recognized as of the date of the transaction.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 842“Leases” using the initial date of adoption method, whereby the adoption does not impact any periods prior to 2019. ASC Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases’ guidance. The Company recorded an operating Right of Use (“ROU”) asset of $394,000, and an operating lease liability of $418,000 as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the initial operating ROU asset and operating lease liability of $24,000 is accrued rent previously recorded under ASC 840. The Company elected to adopt the package of practical expedients and, accordingly, did not reassess any previously expired or existing arrangements and related classifications under ASC 840.

If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company uses its best judgement when determining the incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term to the lease payments in a similar currency.

The Company’s operating leases include vehicles, office space and the use of real property. The Company has not identified any material finance leases as of December 31, 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had $582,000 in Operating lease expense. See Note 2 for information related to a new 5 year lease.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, possible disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis P&F evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of inventories, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, consideration payable to customer and income taxes.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses its costs of advertising in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 20162019 and 20152018 were $1,441,000$1,690,000 and $1,132,000,$1,375,000, respectively.

 

Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share exclude any dilution. It is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stockCommon Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the effect of shares of common stockCommon Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, unless the effect on earnings is anti-dilutive.

 

Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the aggregate number of shares of common stockCommon Stock outstanding reflects the assumed use of proceeds from the hypothetical exercise of any outstanding options 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 (loss) earnings per common share:

At December 31, 2016 and 2015 and during the years then ended, there were outstanding stock options whose exercise prices were higher than the average market values for the respective periods. These options are anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share during the year ended December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we experienced a net loss from continuing operations, as such, these options were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share. The average anti-dilutive options outstanding for the yearsyear ended December 31, 20162019 and 20152018 were 76,00055,000 and 134,000,12,000, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

 

In accordance with US GAAP, the Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards based on estimated fair values. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

With respect to stock options, US GAAP requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company records compensation expense ratably over the vesting periods. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises this estimate, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted. As such, the Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, relevant interest rates, and the expected term of the awards.

 

With respect to any issuance of its common stock,Common Stock, the Company determines fair value per share as the closing price of its common stockCommon Stock on the date of the grant of said shares.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the monthly average exchange rates. Adjustments arising from the translation of the foreign currency financial statements of the Company's international operations are reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

 

For foreign currency remeasurement from each local currency into the appropriate functional currency, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to functional currencies using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses from these remeasurements were not significant and have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at historical exchange rates, and the related remeasurement gains or losses are reported as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Not Yet Adopted

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-09,Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The standard reduces complexity in several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that when adopted, this ASU will have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous US GAAP. ASC Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leasesleases’ guidance. This ASU became effective January 1, 2019. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statementsoffers two transition methods: (1) a modified retrospective approach, in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election asequity in the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied or (2) a package and if applied consistentlyprospective approach, in which a company is allowed to all leases.initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date.

Additional updates. Under ASU 2018-02, an entity may elect to Topic 606 issued byreclassify the FASB in 2015 and 2016 include the following:

·ASU No. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of the new guidance such that the new provisions will now be required for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.
·ASU No. 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net).
·ASU No. 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and classifying licensing arrangements.
·ASU No. 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarifies the implementation guidance in a number of other areas.

The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or modified retrospective application. The Company intends to use the modified retrospective approach. The Company iscurrently in the process of completing its assessment of any significant contract and assessing the impact the adoptionincome tax effects of the new revenue standard will haveTax Reform Act on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Thus far the company does not believe the adoption of this standards update will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. However, the Company will continue its evaluation of the standards update through the date of adoption. The standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION

 Effective October 25, 2019 (the “Gears Closing Date”), the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech, acquired substantially all the assets comprising the businesses of Blaz-Man Gear, Inc. and Gear Products & Manufacturing, Inc., (the “Gears Acquisition”), each an Illinois-based corporation that manufactures and distributes custom gears. The Company believes that the acquisition of these two businesses will provide added expertise and market exposure into the customized/specialty gears market. The purchase price consisted of an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million in cash, which was funded by Revolver borrowings and the assumption of certain payables and contractual obligations. In addition, the sellers may be entitled to additional contingent consideration based upon sale of certain categories of acquired inventory during the two-year period following the Gears Closing Date.

In connection with the Gears Acquisition, the Company entered into Consent, Joinder and Amendment No. 8 (“Amendment No. 8”) to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Capital One, National Association. Amendment No. 8, among other things, provided consent to the Gears Acquisition. Amendment No. 8 also modified the Credit Agreement to suspend the requirement pertaining to compliance with the covenant relating to a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, unless a Default or Event of Default occurs, or availability is less than 17.5% of the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, as each such term is defined, at any time. Further, it granted permission to the Company to continue its issuance of dividends and allow the Company to repurchase shares of its own Common Stock, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, subject to Revolver availability limitations, among other things.

Recently Adopted

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 is aimed at reducing complexity in accounting standards. Currently, GAAP requires the deferred taxes for each jurisdiction to be presented as a net current asset or liabilityDecember 31, 2019 and net noncurrent asset or liability. This requires a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis based on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which the underlying temporary differences relate, or, in the case of loss or credit carryforwards, based on the period in which the attribute is expected to be realized. Any valuation allowance is then required to be allocated on a pro rata basis, by jurisdiction, between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets. To simplify presentation, the new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. As a result, each jurisdiction will now only have one net noncurrent deferred tax asset or liability. The guidance does not change the existing requirement that only permits offsetting within a jurisdiction; companies are still prohibited from offsetting deferred tax liabilities from one jurisdiction against deferred tax assets of another jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted and applied the new standard retrospectively to the prior period presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company reported Deferred income taxes-net in its 2015 Form 10-K as Current assets of $1,131,000. After adoption of this ASU, and giving effect to the sale of Nationwide, discussed in Note 2, the Company now presents $229,000 of deferred tax assets being included in the Current assets from discontinued operations, and the balance of $902,000 included net against the long-term deferred income tax liability.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (ASU 2015-03). The update requires that deferred debt issuance costs be reported as a reduction to long-term debt (previously reported in other noncurrent assets). The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 in the first quarter of 2016 and for all retrospective periods, as required. The impact of the adoption was not material to our consolidated financial statements, and is discussed further in Note 7. 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This accounting standard update applies to all entities and was effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard during fiscal year 2016. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards, in addition to those referenced above, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.2018

On the Closing Date, the Company and the president of Nationwide, entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which, among other things the Company acquired 30,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) at the aggregate purchase price of $254,940 and options to acquire 6,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an aggregate price of $16,597.

Effective as of the Closing Date, Countrywide, as landlord, and Nationwide, as tenant, entered into a new lease relating to the Premises. The lease provided for, among other things, a seven-year term commencing on the Closing Date and an annual base rent of approximately $252,000 with annual escalations. The lease also provided that the tenant will pay certain taxes and operating expenses associated with the Premises. The rental income from this new lease is included in Other income– net on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of income and comprehensive income.

 The Company recognized a gain of $12,512,000, on the sale of Nationwide which represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying book value of Nationwide. For income tax purposes, our tax basis in Nationwide was greater than the net proceeds resulting in a tax loss and thus recorded a tax benefit of $482,000. This tax loss can only be applied against future capital gain transactions. In November 2016, Countrywide completed the sale of the premises to an unrelated third party for $3,750,000. After fees and other expenses, the net proceeds to the Company were $3,500,000. The Company used these net proceeds to pay down its revolving credit loan and reduce its terms loans to $100,000. As a result of this transaction, the Company, during the fourth quarter of 2016, recognized a gain on sale of $1,703,000. For tax purposes this sale is treated as a capital gain transaction and the Company utilized the $482,000 tax benefit generated from the sale of Nationwide.

 

NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1:Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that can be assessed at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrumentsinstrument’s valuation.

 

The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

 

As of December 31, 20162019, and 2015,2018, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

The fair value of the Prepaid expenses and other current assets, which consists primarily of escrowed funds from the sale of Nationwide, which was estimated to be the same as its carrying value, based on Level 3 inputs. The escrow will be released to the Company in August 2017, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed quarterly for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

The impairment testing is performed in two steps: (i) The Company compares  In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, and (ii) if there is impairment,FASB, the Company measures the amount ofperformed an annual impairment loss by comparing the implied fair valuetest of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter based on conditions as of November 30, 2019. For both 2019 and 2018, with respect to Florida Pneumatic and Hy-Tech, the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company determines thedetermined their fair value using the income approach methodology of valuation, which considers the expected present value of future cash flows. As an integral part of the valuation process the Company utilizes its latest cash flows forecasts for the remainder of the current fiscal year, if applicable, the next four fiscal years, and then applies projected minimal growth for all remaining years, based upon available statistical data and management’s estimates.  

 

DuringThe result of the second quarter of 2016, the CompanyCompany’s impairment test for Florida Pneumatic and Hy-Tech determined that an interim impairment analysis of the goodwill recorded in connection with its Hy-Tech reporting unit was necessary based on consideration of a number of factors or assumptions, which included:

·Negative changes in revenue, which was driven primarily by continued weakness in the oil and gas exploration and extraction industries;
·the recent loss of a major portion of revenue from one of its larger customers;
·recent significant reductions/guidance of forecasted purchases from the largest customer acquired in the ATSCO acquisition; and
·changes in gross margin, driven primary by product mix and customer mix.

The combination of these factors was considered to be a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test.

Certain of the factors considered by management in the performance of the impairment test included:

·Cash flows was determined to be a key assumption primarily due to reductions in future revenue and gross margins; and
·Discount rates. The discount rates applied to internally developed cash flow projections were 14.5% for the previous annual impairment test as of November 30, 2015 and 13.8% at May 31, 2016, which was the date of the interim impairment test. The discount rate represents the weighted average cost of capital consistent with our views of the rate that an expected market participant would utilize for valuation, including the risk inherent in future cash flows, taking into account the capital structure, debt ratings and current debt yields of comparable public companies as well as an estimate of return on equity that reflects historical market returns.

Based on step one of the impairment analysis, it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value. Step two of the goodwill impairment test resets the implied fair value of goodwill through a reallocation of the assets. That is, an entity shall allocate the fair value of a reporting unit, in this case, Hy-Tech to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Accordingly, after resetting the carrying values of its intangible assets, other than Goodwill, which resulted in a $2,968,000 impairment of intangible assets the Company adjustedexceeded the carrying value ofand, as such, no impairment to Goodwill by recording an impairment charge of $5,343,000 in the second quarter of 2016.

The carrying value of Hy-Tech exceeded its estimated fair value by approximately 15.7% at November 30, 2015. The fair value of Hy-Tech was estimated using 100% value based on internally developed cash flow projections. The internally developed cash flow projections reflect annual estimates through a terminal year calculated using a terminal year EBITDA multiple approach.

Trademarks and tradenames were previously considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset. However, as a result of the testing for impairment as of May 31, 2016, which determined the carrying value of Hy-Tech’s trademarks and tradenames exceeded the fair value, and an impairment charge of $229,000 was recorded at June 30, 2016. The Company commenced amortizing this intangible asset in July 2016 over a 15 year useful life. Further, future amortization is included in the estimated future amortization expense table below.

Based on step one of the November 30, 2016 annual testing for impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value. As noted above, an entity shall allocate the fair value of a reporting unit,recorded in this case, Hy-Tech to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Accordingly, the Company, after resetting the carrying values of its intangible assets, other than Goodwill, the result was a $390,000 impairment of intangible assets and adjusted the carrying value of Goodwill by recording an impairment charge of $880,000, effective November 30, 2016.2019.

 

The primary factors contributing to this further impairment include:

·Further erosion of Hy-Tech’s revenue, which began in October 2016 and is now expected to continue;
·further decline in gross margins, driven primarily by a worsening of absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead, product mix and customer mix;
·lowering of expectations with respect to orders from a large customer.

43

Certain factors considered by management in the performance of the impairment test include:

·Cash flows was determined to be a key assumption primarily due to reductions in future revenue and gross margins; and
·Discount rates. The discount rates applied to internally developed cash flow projections were 14.5% for the previous annual impairment test as of November 30, 2015, 13.8% at May 31, 2016 and 15.2% at November 30, 2016.

The impairment determinations involved significant assumptions and judgments. The calculations supporting the estimates of the fair value of Hy-Tech and the fair values of its assets and liabilities utilized models that take into consideration multiple inputs other than those discussed above. Assumptions regarding each of these inputs could have a significant effect on the related valuations. In performing these calculations, we also take into consideration assumptions on how current market participants would value Hy-Tech and its operating assets and liabilities. Changes to assumptions that reflect the views of current market participants can also have a significant effect on the related valuations. The fair value measurements resulting from these models are classified as non-recurring Level 3 measurements consistent with accounting standards related to the determination of fair value. Because of the volatility of these factors, we cannot predict the likelihood of any future impairment. 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has no accumulated impairment losses. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for 2016 are as follows:

NOTE 7—DEBT

 

In October 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with an affiliate of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”, or the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement, as amended and restated in April 2017 and further amended from time-to-time, among other things, provides forthe ability to borrow funds under a Revolver Loan$16,000,000 revolver line (“Revolver”), subject to certain borrowing base criteria. Additionally, there is a $2,000,000 line for capital expenditures (“Capex Loan”), with $1,600,000 available for future borrowings. Revolver and Capex Loan borrowings under which are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, mortgages on itsinventory, equipment, and real property, located in Cranberry, PA, Tampa, FL and Jupiter, FL (“Real Property”),  inventory and equipment.among other things. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteedcross guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement was amended effective February 8, 2019, which among other things set the expiration date to February 8, 2024. Additionally, see Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion relating to Amendment No. 8.

At the Company’s option, Revolver borrowings will bear interest at either LIBOR (“London InterBankinterbank Offered Rate”) or the Base Rate, as the term is defined in the Credit Agreement, plus thean Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, the interest rate, either LIBOR or Base Rate, which is added to the Applicable Margin, is at the option of the Company. The Company is limited assubject to limitations on the number of LIBOR borrowings.

 

The Company provides Capital One with monthly borrowing base certificates, and in August 2014, entered intocertain circumstances, it is required to deliver monthly financial statements and certificates of compliance with various financial covenants. Should an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Restated Loan Agreement”) withevent of default occur the interest rate would increase by 2% per annum during the period of default, in addition to other remedies provided to Capital One. The Restated Loan Agreement, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the total amount of the credit facility from $29,423,000 to $33,657,000, (2) increasing the Revolver from $20,000,000 to $22,000,000, (3) creating a new Term Loan, as defined in the Restated Loan Agreement (“Term Loan B”), and (4) re-designating as “Term Loan A”, the previously existing outstanding Term Loan, which relates primarily to the Company’s Real Property. In addition, the Restated Loan Agreement also reset certain financial covenants.

45

Contemporaneously with the sale of Nationwide, as discussed in Note 2, the Company entered into the Consent and Second Amendment to the Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Capital One. The Amendment, among other things; (a) provided the Bank’s consent to the transactions contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement and the repurchase of certain shares and options discussed in Note 2 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; (b) amended the Restated Loan Agreement by: (i) reducing the aggregate Commitment (as defined in the Restated Loan Agreement) to $11,600,000; (ii) reducing the Term Loan A to $100,000; (iii) reducing the Revolver Commitment to $10,000,000 (less the new Term Loan A balance of $100,000); (iv) reducing the Capex Loan Commitment to $1,600,000; (v) modifying certain financial covenants, (vi) lowering interest rate margins and fee obligations; and (vii) extending the expiration of the Credit Agreement to February 11, 2019. Additionally, the Bank released the mortgage on the Company’s Real Property located in Tampa, Florida.

 

The Company provides Capital One with, among other things, monthly financial statements, and monthly borrowing base certificates. The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. Under certain circumstances the Company would be required to submit certificates of compliance. The Company believes it is in compliance with all covenants underthat should a need arise whereby the current Credit Facility.

NOTE 8—STOCK OPTIONS – STOCK COMPENSATION

 

The Company’s stockholders approved the P&F Industries, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan authorizes the issuance to employees, consultants and non-employee directors of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards. In addition, employees are eligible to be granted incentive stock options under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan is currently administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”) that may be issued under the 2012 Plan may not exceed 325,000 shares; provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock that are subject to a stock option, stock appreciation right or other stock-based award that is based on the appreciation in value of a share of Common Stock in excess of an amount equal to at least the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such other stock-based award is granted (each an “Appreciation Award”) will be counted against this limit as one share for every share granted. Any shares of restricted stock or shares of Common Stock that are subject to any other award other than Appreciation Award will be counted against this limit as 1.5 shares for every share granted.

 

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which any award of stock options, stock appreciation rights or other Appreciation Award that may be granted under the 2012 Plan during any fiscal year to any eligible employee or consultant will be 100,000 shares per type of award. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award of performance shares for any performance period, other stock-based awards that are not Appreciation Awards, or shares of restricted stock for which the grant of such award or the lapse of the relevant restriction period is subject to the attainment of specified performance goals that may be granted under the 2012 Plan during any fiscal year to any eligible employee or consultant will be 65,000 shares per type of award. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock for all such types of awards to any eligible employee or consultant will be 165,000 shares during any fiscal year. There are no annual limits on the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to an award of restricted stock that is not subject to the attainment of specified performance goals to eligible employees or consultants. The maximum value at grant of performance units which may be granted under the 2012 Plan during any fiscal year will be $1,000,000. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award which may be granted under the 2012 Plan during any fiscal year of the Company to any non-employee director will be 35,000 shares.

 

With respect to stock options, the Committee will determinedetermines the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each option, the term of each option, which may not exceed ten10 years (or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder), the exercise price, the vesting schedule (if any), and the other material terms of each option. No stock option may have an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant (or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder, 110% of fair market value). With respect to all other permissible grants under the 2012 Plan, the Committee will determine their terms and conditions, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2012 Plan.

 

The 2012 Plan, which terminates in May 2022, is the successor to the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (“Previous Plan”) – see below. Stock option awards made under the Previous Plan will continue in effect and remain governed by the provisions of that plan.

Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cashexpects to maintain this dividend policy; however, the future declaration of dividends on July 18, 2016under this policy is dependent upon several factors, which include such things as our overall financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and October 28, 2016.other factors our board may deem relevant.  

 

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company serves as administrator of the 2012 Plan, and the P&F Industries, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”). The 2012 Plan requires that options granted under the 2012 Plan be equitably adjusted when an equity restructuring transaction or event occurs. Additionally, the 2002 Plan allows the Compensation Committee to equitably adjust any outstanding options granted under the 2002 Plan in the event of an equity restructuring event. The Compensation Committee determined that the special dividend met the applicable criteria under both the 2012 Plan and the 2002 Plan and authorized an equitable adjustment be made to all outstanding options under both plans. The equitable adjustment lowered the exercise price of all outstanding options, and added, in the aggregate, 19,174 options to purchase Common Stock relating to options held by all Company option holders. The reduction in the exercise price ranged from $0.13 to $0.48. The Company determined that, in accordance with ASC 718-20-20, the special dividend described above was an equity restructuring event and, as such, there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as the result of adjustments to the exercise price or the issuance of the additional stock options that resulted from the aforementioned modification.

The guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election to either (i) account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which they are subject to the rules (the period cost method), or (ii) account for GILTI in the Company’s measurement of deferred taxes (the deferred method). After completing the analysis of the GILTI provisions, the Company elected to account for GILTI using the period cost method.

In connection with one of the acquisitions that occurred in 2014, the Company, in accordance with the ASC 740-10, recorded in Accrued liabilities an uncertain tax position of $311,000 as of December 31, 2016.  The parties to such transaction entered into a tax exposure-related escrow agreement, which together with the indemnity obligations of the seller, the Company believes adequately covers the entire potential exposure related to the uncertain tax position. As a result, such liability was offset by an indemnification asset recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's CEO and CFO, evaluated, as of December 31, 2016,2019, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, which were designed to be effective at the reasonable assurance level. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company'sCompany's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016,2019, the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at that date.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). This system is designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of its assets;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of its management and directors; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Management, including its CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2016.2019. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Management, including its CEO and CFO concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2016.2019.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness as to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
