NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, as defined below, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. All such adjustments, except for those adjustments relating to discontinued operations, are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 20162017 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 (“20162017 Form 10-K”). The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the 20162017 Form 10-K.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been reported in U.S. dollars by translating asset and liability amounts of a foreign wholly-owned subsidiary at the closing exchange rate, equity amounts at historical rates and the results of operations and cash flow at the average of the prevailing exchange rates during the periods reported. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation gains or losses. These gains or losses are presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as “Other comprehensive income (loss) - foreign currency translation adjustment”.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of P&F Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (“P&F” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to conform to classifications used in the current year. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Customer Concentration

The Company has one retail customer that during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 accounted for 23.6% and 27.6%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Whereas for the same three and nine-month periods in 2016, the Company had two retail customers that accounted for 45.3% and 43.4%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Additionally, the Company has two retail customers that, in the aggregate, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accounted for 39.6% and 53.5%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable.

Out - of - period Adjustment

During the preparation of the Company’s tax provision for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, it determined that the effect of forfeitures, expiration and exercise of certain of its common stock options should have been reflected in its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2017’s income tax provision. The Company has concluded that this error was immaterial based upon a qualitative and quantitative analysis. As such, the Company reflected such effect in its three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

The Company

 

P&F is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. Prior to February 11, 2016 (the “Nationwide Closing Date”), the effective date of the sale of its Nationwide Industries, Inc.

See Note 2 to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)

 

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in those financial statements.  Certain significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contingent consideration, income taxes and deferred taxes.  Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the Company’s 20162017 Form 10-K.  Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate.  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.

 

 Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition

Our significant accounting policies are described in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our significant accounting policy relating to revenue recognition reflects the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, defined below, in the first quarter of 2018.

The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The Company sells its goods on terms which transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, 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. The Company offers rebates and other sales incentives, promotional allowances or discounts for certain customers, typically related to customer purchase volume, and are classified as a reduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale, using the most likely amount approach. The Company periodically evaluates whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, we have experienced minimal sales returns. If the Company believes there are material potential sales returns, it would provide the necessary provision against sales.

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 will not have any impact on its financial results. Additionally, as the result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company will account for certain expenses that in prior periods were accounted for as a selling expense, which will now be treated as an adjustment to gross revenue. Accordingly, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 the Company reduced its net revenue, gross margin and selling expense by approximately $214,000. Additionally, the Company at March 31, 2018 has included in its allowance for doubtful accounts approximately $74,000 that was previously accounted for in its current liabilities. There are no remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted

 

In March 2016,January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting StandardStandards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09,2017-04,ImprovementsIntangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplified the testing of goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public companies for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company concluded that ASU 2017-04 is preferable to Employee Share-Based Payment Accountingthe current guidance due to efficiency, since ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in 2017, in conjunction with its annual impairment test of goodwill for all reporting units. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The standard reduces complexityamendments in several aspects ofASU 2016-15 are intended to add or clarify guidance on the accounting for employee share-based compensation, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities,certain cash receipts and classification onpayments in the statement of cash flows. Theflows, with the intent of reducing diversity in practice for the eight types of cash flows identified. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The impactadoption of ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606 (“ASC 606”), which supersedes existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and creates a single framework. Additional updates to ASC 606 were issued by the FASB in 2015 and 2016.

The Company adopted ASC 606 on the first day of fiscal 2018. Its 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 Company has elected to use the modified retrospective approach. As the Company does not have any contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018, there is no adjustment required to its retained earnings. The adoption wasof ASC 606 will not have an effect on the Company’s cash flows. Other than discussed earlier in this Note 1, the Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material toeffect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASBThe Company does not believe that any other recently issued ASU No. 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”).  Theaccounting standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value for entities using the first-in, first-out method of valuing inventory.  ASU 2015-11 eliminates other measures required by current guidance to determine net realizable value.  ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal 2017.  The impact of the adoption was notwould have a material to the Company’seffect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 GAAP. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)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 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 statements 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 as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Additional updates to Topic 606 issued by 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. 2016-12,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 is in the final assessment phaseof what impact, if any, the new revenue standard and related updates will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and based on its preliminary assessment, other than additional disclosures in its Notes to its consolidated financial statements, there will be no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.The standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, adoption of ASU 2018-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Accounting Pronouncement

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces 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 previously deferred from tax, generally eliminates U.S federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries and creates a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). Also on December 22, 2017, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment for companies to complete their accounting for the Act. The Company is currently evaluatingapplying the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Act.

At March 31, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act, but has made reasonable estimates of the effects thaton the adoptionre-measurement of ASU 2017-04its deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as its transition tax liability. During the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company made no adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company has not yet collected and analyzed all necessary tax and earnings data of its foreign operations and therefore, the Company has also not yet completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the transition tax. The Company will have oncontinue to make and refine its consolidated financial statements. calculations as additional analysis is completed.

  

Other than the aforementioned, the Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standard, if adopted, will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Sale of Nationwide Industries, Inc.

The Company, as part of its strategic plan to focus on expanding its position in the power-tool and accessories market, sold Nationwide in February 2016. On the Nationwide Closing Date, P&F, Countrywide, Nationwide and Argosy NWI Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), entered into a Stock Purchase and Redemption Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, after giving effect to certain contributions and redemptions of Nationwide’s common shares (“Nationwide Shares”), the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding Nationwide Shares from Countrywide (the “Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Nationwide Shares acquired in the Acquisition was approximately $22,200,000, before giving effect to an estimated working capital adjustment, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement, of approximately $802,000 in favor of the Buyer. Further, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company placed into escrow $1,955,000 (“escrow funds”), of which $250,000 related to the final working capital adjustment. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the final working capital adjustment amount was determined to be approximately $75,000 in the Company’s favor. As a result, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, the $250,000 portion of the escrow funds was released to the Company, and the final working capital adjustment amount of $75,000 was paid to the Company by the Buyer. In connection with the Acquisition, Countrywide agreed that, should it sell the real property it owned in Tampa, Florida (the “Premises”), it will contribute an additional $400,000 into the escrow funds. In November 2016, the Premises were sold, and as a result Countrywide contributed the additional $400,000 into the aforementioned escrow funds which, at that time, aggregated to approximately $2,105,000. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, in August 2017, as no claims were made against the Escrow funds, the Company received the full amount of the escrow plus interest.

At the closing of the Acquisition, after paying closing costs, the net cash received from the Buyer was approximately $18,700,000.

As Nationwide was a substantial and unique business unit of the Company, its sale was a strategic shift. Accordingly, in accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company, in 2016, classified Nationwide as a discontinued operation.

The net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes in 2016 presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), is comprised of the following:

  January 1, 2016
through February
11, 2016
 
    
Revenue $1,830,000 
Cost of goods sold  1,177,000 
Gross margin  653,000 
Selling and general and administrative expenses  483,000 
Interest expense - net  60,000 
Income before income taxes  110,000 
Income taxes  38,000 
     
Net income $72,000 

  The Company recognized a gain of $12,185,000, on the sale of Nationwide during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, which represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying book value of Nationwide. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred an additional $14,000 in expenses related to the sale. For income tax purposes, the Company’s tax basis in Nationwide was greater than the net proceeds, thus resulting in a tax loss. This tax loss may only be applied against future capital gain transactions.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016; the Company recorded a tax benefit of $141,000, net of a valuation allowance against the gain on sale.  In November 2016, Countrywide completed the sale of the real property located in Tampa Florida, which was treated as a capital gain transaction for tax purposes.  As a result, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company removed the valuation allowance initially recorded against the tax loss, resulting in an additional $187,000 tax benefit recorded against the gain on sale.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” and together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”) was entered into between Jiffy Seller and Bonanza Properties Corp. (“Bonanza Properties”), a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida Pneumatic, pursuant to which Bonanza Properties purchased certain real property of the Jiffy Seller.

NOTE 43 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based only on the average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the effect of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options, unless the effect on earnings is antidilutive.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding reflects the assumed use of proceeds from the hypothetical exercise of any outstanding options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The average market value for the period is used as the assumed purchase price.

 

The following table sets forth the elements of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

NOTE 54EQUITY – COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PLANSTOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – (Continued)

 

Stock option compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation, including options and non-vested shares, according to the provisions of FASB ASC 718,Share Based Payment.

On September 5, 2017 (“Grant Date”), the compensation committee of Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 89,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock under the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.  The options expire ten years from the Grant Date. The Company granted an aggregate of 55,000 of these options to its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, with the balance to non-executive employees of the Company.   All options granted on the Grant Date vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date. Further, all options granted on the Grant Date have an exercise price of $7.09, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date.

Stock option compensation expense is attributable to the granting of, and the remaining requisite service periods of, stock options. Compensation expense attributable to stock-options was approximately $20,000 and $0 during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Compensation expense attributable to stock-options was approximately $20,000 and $13,000 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The compensation expense is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods.  The exercisability of the respective non-vested options, which are at pre-determined dates on a calendar year, does not necessarily correspond to the period(s) in which straight-line amortization of compensation cost is recorded. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $373,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under its stock-based plans, which it expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The expected term of stock options is based on historical exercises and terminations. The volatility is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices.

The Company estimated the fair value of these options using the following assumption:

   
Risk-free interest rate 2.07%
Expected term (in years) 10 years
Volatility 87.16%
Dividend yield 2.82%

NOTE 65 – 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 instruments valuation.

 

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

As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheetsconsolidated 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 at December 31, 2016 consisted 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. In August 2017, the Company received the entire $2,105,000, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the Jiffy Seller, of $706,000, included in other liabilities was determined applying Level 3 inputs. The fair value of this contingent consideration is being adjusted quarterly.

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(level 3).

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

BusinessOUR BUSINESS

 

P&F and each of its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company. Prior to February 11, 2016, (the “Nationwide Closing Date”) the effective date of the sale of its Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”) subsidiary, P&F operated in two primary lines of business or segments: (i) tools and other products (“Tools”) and (ii) hardware and accessories (“Hardware”). As a result of the sale of Nationwide, the Company currently only operates in the Tools segment. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Tools

The Company conducts its ToolsWe conduct our business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”), which in turn operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”). Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”) and Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. Effective April 5, 2017, we purchased substantially all of the operating assets, less certain payables of Jiffy Air Tool, Inc., (“Jiffy”) through a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Jiffy”).subsidiary. See Note 32 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech.

 

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importationmanufactures, imports and sale ofsells pneumatic hand tools, most of which are of its own design, primarily forto the retail, industrial, automotive and automotiveaerospace markets. Florida PneumaticIt also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a product line which includes pipe and bolt dies, pipe taps, wrenches, vises and stands, pipe and tubing cutting equipment, hydrostatic test pumps, and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Lastly, as the result of the acquisition of Jiffy, Florida Pneumatic now manufactures pneumatic tools marketed primarily to the aerospace sector.

 

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures and distributes its own line of industrial pneumatic tools.tools, industrial gears, hydrostatic test plugs and a wide variety of parts under the brands ATP, ATSCO, OZAT, Numatx, Thaxton and Quality Gear. Industries served include power generation, petrochemical, construction, railroad, mining, ship building and fabricated metals. Hy-Tech also producesmanufactures components, assemblies, finished product and markets impact wrenches, grinders, drills, and motors. Further, it also manufactures tools to customer specifications. Its customers include refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, heavy construction enterprises, oil and gas and mining companies. In addition, Hy-Tech manufactures an extensive line of pneumatic tool replacement partssystems for itsvarious Original Equipment Manufacturers under their own tools as well as several other widely-used brands of pneumatic tools. It also manufactures and distributes high pressure stoppers for hydrostatic testing fabricated pipe, gears, sprockets, splines and racks. Additionally, the Company develops highly engineered product solutions to specific customer requirements in the pneumatic tool market.

Hardware

Prior to the Nationwide Closing Date, we conducted our Hardware business through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). Countrywide conducted its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nationwide. Nationwide was an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware and accessories, including rollers, hinges, window operators, sash locks, custom zinc castings and door closers. On the Nationwide Closing Date, Countrywide sold Nationwide to an unrelated third party for approximately $22,200,000. See Note 2 to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.brand names.

 

KEY INDICATORS  

 

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. We focus on a wide array of customer types including, but not limited to, large retailers, aerospace manufacturers, large and small resellers of pneumatic tools and 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 United States Dollar (“USD”) in relation to the Taiwanese dollar (“TWD”), as we purchase a significant portion of our products from Taiwan. Purchases from Chinese sources are made in USD; however, if the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (“RMB”), were to be revalued against the USD, there could be a negative impact on the cost of our products. Additionally, we closely monitor the fluctuation in the Great British Pound (“GBP”) to the USD, and the GBP to TWD, both of which has hadcan have an impact on ourthe consolidated results in 2017.results. In addition, we monitor the number of operating rotary drilling rigs in the United States, as a means of gauging oil production, which is a key factor in our sales into the oil and gas exploration and extraction sector.

 

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 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.

 

Financial Measures  

 

Key financial measures we use to evaluate the results of our business include: various revenue metrics; gross margin; selling, general and administrative expenses; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; operating cash flows and capital expenditures; return on sales; return on assets; days sales outstanding and inventory turns. These measures are reviewed at monthly, quarterly and annual intervals and compared to historical periods as well as established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detail below.detailed sections below for each operating segment.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the 20162017 Form 10-K. 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 estimates, including, but not limited to those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserves, and taxes and deferred 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.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Key factors or events impacting our thirdfirst quarter 20172018 results of operations were:

 

Decline in Florida Pneumatic’s Automotive and Retail revenueFirst quarter of 2018 includes three-month results of Jiffy, which was acquired effective April 5, 2017;

 

ImprovementThe decision in Hy-Tech’s gross margin2017 not to renew a supply agreement with Sears; and

 

AdditionAdoption of Jiffy’s operationsAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and related Updates, as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606 (“ASC 606”).

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Continuing operations

 

Unless otherwise discussed elsewhere in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our relationships with our key customers and suppliers remain satisfactory. Global oil and gas exploration and extraction have been the primary market of Hy-Tech, which until recently has begun to show signs of improving. Further, there remains a persistent weakness in the other markets that Hy-Tech serves most notably power generation and construction.

 

We elected not to renew our supply agreement with Sears, which expired on September 30, 2017. This decision wasdetermined that, based on a number of factors including Sears’ continuing financial difficulties, the sale of the Craftsman brand by Sears to Stanley Black & Decker and our level of working capital exposure in relation to our return on that investment pertaining to Sears. There is no Sear’s inventory exposure atSears, it was in our best interest not to renew a supply agreement between us and Sears, effective September 30, 2017. Further, we believe that all accounts receivable attributable to Sears, which approximates $1,100,000 at September 30, 2017, should be collected by December 31, 2017. However, at the present time, there can be no assurance that we will fully recover this.

 

In December of 2017, Florida Pneumatic and Home Depot agreed to launch an improved line of pneumatic tools to replace the current offering. We expect to begin shipment of this new product line sometime in the third quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the new product line will be approximately 2% less than the current product line. In order to promote the roll out of the new products, Florida Pneumatic has agreed to participate in the marketing efforts by contributing $1,000,000. We believe this will be contributed some time during the remainder of 2018.

We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018. The most significant impact of this adoption to our results of operations was that beginning January 1, 2018 we now classify certain expenses as deductions against revenue, that prior to the adoption, were accounted for as a selling expense.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS- (Continued)

We believe that over time several newer technologies and features will begin to have ana greater impact on the market for the Company’s traditional pneumatic tool offerings. This evolution has been felt initially by the advent of some cordless operated hand tools in the automotive aftermarket. We are currently evaluating the development of more advanced technologies in our tool platforms.

 

22

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Continuing operations - (Continued)Following an announcement by the President of the United States in first quarter of 2018 of his intention to impose tariffs on certain goods imported specifically from China, the Office of the US Trade Representative announced a proposed list of China-manufactured categories of products that would be subject to a tariff of up to 25%. Such list is scheduled to undergo further review in a public notice and comment process, including a hearing.  It is anticipated that a final determination on the products subject to the tariffs will be announced during the second quarter of 2018. A large portion of products imported by Florida Pneumatic for its Retail customers could be subject to this tariff. Should Florida Pneumatic be unable to pass a major portion of the additional cost created by these new proposed tariffs on to its customers, the profit margin on these products would be severely impacted. We are awaiting further announcements on this matter from the U.S. Government and remain in contact with our Retail customers. Based upon current releases from the Office of the US Trade Representative, products offered to the Company’s non-retail customers thus far are not materially affected, as such other products are imported from other countries, produced domestically or, to the extent imported from China, such imports are immaterial to those product lines.

 

Other than the aforementioned, or that may be discussed further in this management’s discussion and analysis, there are no major trends or uncertainties that had, or we could reasonably expect could 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 the first quarter of 2016, we sold Nationwide to an unrelated third party for approximately $22,200,000. As a result of this transaction, Nationwide’s 2016 results are reported under discontinued operations. Please see Note 2 - Discontinued Operations, to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The majority of the decline in Florida Pneumatic’s thirdfirst quarter 20172018 Retail revenue presented in the table above was due to the reductiondriven by our decision in shipments to Sears this quarter, compared to the same period in 2016. As discussed above, we elected2017 not to renew ana supply agreement with Sears, which expired on September 30, 2017. Also impacting our Retail revenue this quarter wasas well as a slight decline in shipments to The Home Depot which was due primarily to their decision to reduce the number of items offered for sale at certain locations. Additionally, we believe that the recent hurricanes, which impacted the southern portion of the United States, was a contributing factor to the declinerevenue. The increase in our Retail revenue this quarter, compared to the third quarter of 2016. A major factor contributing to the net decline in our Automotive revenue this quarter, compared to the same three-month period in 2016, were two2017, was due primarily to the increase in consumer product demand for our AIRCAT tools sold through a major automotive parts distributors continuing to adjust their inventory levels of pneumatic hand tools. Partially offsetting this decline wason-line distributor, and an increase in revenue from our UAT division headquartered in the United Kingdom. OurIndustrial/catalogUAT revenue increased slightlyin local currency (GBP), declined 1.62% this quarter compared to the same period a year ago. We believe that activity in this sector has begun2017, however when converted to improve; however, no assurance can be given that this trend will continue. Lastly, theUSD its revenue increased 10.5%, resulting in an increase of approximately $72,000. The Jiffy acquisition in April of this year2017has enabled us to approach the aerospace sector with a much stronger brand.brand and breadth of products. As a result, aerospaceour Aerospace sales contributed nearly $2.5$2.6 million to Florida Pneumatic’s total thirdimproved revenue this quarter, 2017 revenue.

With respect to our year to date results, seventy-five percent of the decline in our Retail revenue was due primarily to the reduction in shipments to Sears, compared to the same nine-month period in 2016. During 2016, The Home Depot rolled-out several new tools, which did not occur in 2017, accounting for muchfirst quarter of the decline in The Home Depot’s year-to-date revenue. Additionally, year to date2017. Lastly,Industrial/catalog revenue was negatively affected by The Home Depot’s decision to reduce the number of items being offered at certain locations. We believe two major automotive distributors have been adjusting their inventory levels. As such, their decision is a primary cause of the year to date decline in our Automotive revenue.

Significant components contributing to the increase in Hy-Tech’s thirdfirst quarter 20172018 ATP revenue, compared to the same period in 2016,2017, include the resurgenceincrease in activityorders from a large customer acquired in the ATSCO acquisition that had, until recently, reduced its placement of orders until the second quarter of 2017, and continues to place orders during the third quarter of 2017.with us. Additionally, in 2016 we began to pursueour “engineered solutions” program, which pursues alternate markets where we believed we couldcan exploit our engineering and manufacturing expertise, and develop different applications for our tools, motors and accessories. We believe the development of this newaccessories, continues to expand. This marketing strategy providescontinues to provide us an opportunity to generate new sources of revenue from new markets in 2017 and beyond. While thirdrevenue. Revenue this quarter 2017 revenue from this new initiative was $156,000, at September 30, 2017 Hy-Tech had future orders just shy of $750,000. Although Hy-Tech’s third quarter 2017 revenue has increased$395,000, compared to both the first and second quarters of 2017, we believe that there continues to be an excess inventory of tools and spare partsapproximately $200,000 in the distribution channels. Additionally, we believe that the turn-around activities in the oil and gas sector continue to lag, compared to historic levels, further negatively impacting Hy-Tech’s revenue. Recent hurricanes and other major storms have also impacted Hy-Tech’s revenue. Further, we believe lower-priced imported tools and spare parts are adversely impacting Hy-Tech’s position in the marketplace.

The fluctuation in Hy-Tech’s year to date revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016the prior year, with future orders at March 31, 2018 of approximately $760,000. The improvement in Hy-Tech’s Other revenue was driven primarily due to a number of factors. A declineby an increase in ATP revenue from a large customer that was acquired in the ATSCO acquisition that had greatly reduced its purchases in the first quarter of 2017, compared to its purchases during the first quarter of 2016. By mid-2016 this customer ceased placing orders. However, as discussed above, this customer began placing orders during the second quarter of 2017 and continued into the third quarter of this year. A major component of Hy-Tech’s revenue is derived from the oil and gas sector. Currently, we estimate that the oil and gas sector revenue accounts for approximately 30% to 35% of Hy-Tech’s total revenue. This revenue stream is driven by a number of factors, such as, the number of off-shore rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico, “turn-arounds” or plant maintenance activities and, to a lesser extent, land rigs. We believe the lag in turn-around activities, the hurricanes that severely damaged the Gulf of Mexico and many of the oil refineries in the Gulf States, along with the growing presence of lower-priced imported tools and spare parts are impacting the markets in which Hy-Tech operates. However, as discussed earlier, Hy-Tech continues to pursue alternate markets where it believes it can exploit its engineering and manufacturing expertise, and develop different applications for its tools, motors and accessories. Revenue from these new sources during the first nine months of 2017 was approximately $657,000, and is included in the ATP grouping. Lastly, Hy-Tech has recently begun a new marketing strategy that is intended to re-energize its gear and hydraulic stopper business.Thaxton sales.

Customer and product mix were theThree primary factors that contributed to the increase inimpacted Florida Pneumatic’s third quarter 2017 gross margin compared toduring the samethree-month period ended March 31, 2018. First, as discussed earlier in this management’s discussion and analysis, we adopted ASC 606. This adoption effectively reduced gross profit by reducing net revenue by $214,000, thus resulting in a year ago. Of note, Jiffy’sreduction in gross margin approximates thatof 1.7 percent. Second, its gross margin was negatively impacted by late arrival of overseas shipments, which are the drivers of Florida Pneumatic’s non-retail product lines.overhead absorption. As such,fewer containers were processed through its facility it caused reduced absorption, thus lowering their gross margin. We believe the gross profit associated with the Aerospace revenueabsorption short-fall incurred this quarter exceeded the gross profits lost as the result of the decline in Retail revenue. There were no significant changes to our cost structure or selling price during this quarter.

Florida Pneumatic’s overall gross margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 is essentially the same as the gross margin for the same period in 2016.

Hy-Tech’s 2017 third quarter gross margin increased 19.0 percentage points, a more than 250% improvement over the same period a year ago. Factors contributing to the positive change include, among other things: (a) in the third quarter of 2016, we increased Hy-Tech’s allowance for obsolete / slow moving inventory (“OSMI”). This adjustment in 2016 was compounded by lower overhead absorption, due to reduced manufacturing, in turn due to weakness in the oil and gas and power generation sectors and (b) during 2016, we were shipping a line of very low gross margin tools to a major customer. However,should be reversed during the second and third quarters of 2017, shipments2018. Lastly, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, foreign currency, specifically the weakness of these lowthe U.S. dollar to the Taiwan dollar adversely affected Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin.

Hy-Tech was able to improve its overall gross margin tools declined comparedprimarily due to greater absorption of its manufacturing overhead costs, driven by greater through-put through the prior year. Additional factors contributing to the improvement in Hy-Tech’s gross margin include: (a) improved overhead absorption as manufacturing activity has increased; (b) improved inventory turns, which directly impacts fluctuations in Hy-Tech’s OSMI, and (c) the sale of the low margin tools has been lower this year compared to the prior year.

Hy-Tech’s gross margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, improved 9.8 percentage points, when compared to the same period a year ago. Offsetting the primary factors to this improvement discussed above, gross margin on the products being sold under its new marketing initiative are below Hy-Tech’s historical range. In addition to margins on these products increasing as the result of manufacturing experience, we also expect average margins in this category to improve as we develop additional product offerings.facility.

 

Selling, and general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, (“SG&A” or “operating expenses”) 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Continuing operations - (Continued)

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2018, our SG&A was $5,352,000,$5,280,000, compared to $4,915,000$5,047,000 for the same three-month period in 2016.2017, or an increase of $233,000. The most significant item contributing to the net increase was due in large part toadditional operating expenses incurred at Jiffy during the acquisitionfirst quarter of the2018 of $581,000, whereas there were no Jiffy business in April 2017, with SG&A of approximately $575,000 forexpenses during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017. Additionally, as the result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standards, we now are required to classify as adjustments to net revenue certain expenses, which aggregated approximately $214,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 that prior to the adoption were accounted for as SG&A. Other significant components ofto the change include:in SG&A include reductions in: (i) a $17,000 reductionvariable expenses, which include costs such as: commissions, advertising travel and warranty of $192,000, due primarily to lower Retail revenue; (ii) depreciation and amortization of $48,000; (iii) professional fees of $242,000, which during the first quarter of 2017 included fees and expenses related to the Jiffy Acquisition as well as recruitment fees for executive positions at Hy-Tech. The reductions were partially offset by increases in non-Jiffyour stock-based compensation expenses,of $59,000, and compensation expense which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives, associated payroll taxes and employee benefits; (ii) a decrease in variable expenses of $78,000, due primarily to lower Retail revenue; (iii) a decrease in professional fees of $56,000 and (iv) a reduction in amortization and depreciation expenses of $60,000. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in corporate related expenses of $24,000.

Our SG&A for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 was $15,765,000, compared to $15,088,000 for the same period in 2016. As noted above, the most significant component to the net increase was the addition of Jiffy, with year to date 2017 SG&A of approximately $1,025,000. Other significant components include reductions in: (i) non-Jiffy compensation expenses of $74,000; (ii) variable expenses of $300,000, due primarily to lower Retail revenue; (iii) depreciation and amortization of $236,000, due mostly to the reduction in Hy-Tech’s intangible assets, which were written down in 2016; and (iv) corporate related expenses of $80,000. The reductions were partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $381,000, which include fees and expenses related to the Jiffy Acquisition and recruitment fees for executive positions at Hy-Tech.

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets - 2016

During the second quarter of 2016, we determined that an interim impairment analysis of the goodwill recorded in connection with Hy-Tech and ATSCO was necessary. As a result of the aforementioned, it was determined that Hy-Tech's short and long-term projections at that time had 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. Accordingly, adhering to 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.benefits, increased $47,000.

PrimarilyThe increase in short-term loan borrowings interest was driven primarily by greater borrowings against our Revolver, described below, in 2018, compared to the prior year, and to a lesser extent, higher interest rates. The increase in amortization of debt issue costs is due to the result ofexpenses incurred with the sale of Nationwide and the real property located in Tampa, Florida, occurring in February and November 2016, respectively, our total bank borrowings have been minimal. However, as discussed in Note 3 - Acquisition,amendment to our consolidated financial statements, onLoan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) in April 5, 2017 we purchased the net assets ofthat related to the Jiffy business and real property located in Carson City, Nevada. The funding for this transaction was from our Revolver Loan, which is our short-term borrowing.

In accordance with accounting guidance we have reported our short-term and term loan interest expense incurred during the period January 1, 2016 through February 11, 2016, which was the effective date of sale of Nationwide, in Discontinued operations. Further, as the result of the Company and Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”, or the “Bank”) agreeing to significantly modify the Credit Agreement, as defined below in our Liquidity and Capital Resources, we were required to write down and recognize as interest expense the debt issue costs associated with the then existing Credit Agreement. These costs are identified in the table above as “Amortization expense of debt issue costs”. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the sale of Nationwide. See Liquidity and Capital Resources elsewhere in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section for further information regarding our bank loans.acquisition.

 

Our average balance of short-term borrowings during the three and nine-month periodsthree-month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $3,635,000 and $3,263,000, respectively,$1,847,000, compared to $2,585,000 and $3,593,000, respectively,$103,000 during the same periodsthree-month period in 2016.2017.

 

Income taxes

 

At the end of each interim reporting period, we estimate anthe Company estimates its effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit applicable to continuing operations, on a year-to-date basis, and may change in subsequent interim periods. Additionally, in the year to date computation we included the impact of options that expired, were exercised, or were forfeited. The aggregate net effect of these options reduced our deferred tax asset and increased the tax provision by approximately $116,000. As a result of the aforementioned,Accordingly, our effective tax rate applicable to continuing operations for the three and nine-month periodsthree-month period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was 97.1% and 136.5%26.1%, respectively. Forcompared to the same periods in 2016 our effective tax benefit rate applicable to continuing operations was 27.2% and 33.9%, respectively.of 28.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods were also affected primarily by state taxes, non-deductible expenses and foreign tax rate differentials.

 

In addition to those items mentioned above that affected the Company’s effective tax rates was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces 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 previously deferred from tax, generally eliminates U.S federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries and creates a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). Also on December 22, 2017, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which provides for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment for companies to complete their accounting for the Act. The Company is applying the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Act.

At March 31, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act, but has made reasonable estimates of the effects on the re-measurement of its deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as its transition tax liability. During the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the Company made no adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company has not yet collected and analyzed all necessary tax and earnings data of its foreign operations and therefore, the Company has also not yet completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the transition tax. The Company will continue to make and refine its calculations as additional analysis is completed.

The Act also subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense only. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the effects of the GILTI provisions and has not yet made its accounting policy election. At March 31, 2018, because the Company is still evaluating the GILTI provisions, the Company has included tax expense related to GILTI for the current year in its estimated annual effective tax rate and has not provided additional GILTI on deferred items.

Nationwide’s resultsManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of operations in our consolidated financial statementsFinancial Condition and Note 2, presents their revenue and costResults of goods sold for the period January 1, 2016 through February 11, 2016. The SG&A incurred during the same period includes that of Nationwide plus $19,000 of expenses incurred at the corporate level that is specifically attributable to Nationwide. In accordance with current accounting guidance, we included, as part of discontinued operations, all interest expense incurred attributable to our Bank borrowings during the period January 1, 2016 through February 11, 2016.  Additionally, we initially recognized an after tax gain of $12,171,000, on the sale of Nationwide. For income tax purposes, the Company’s tax basis in Nationwide was greater than the net proceeds, thus resulting in a tax loss. This gain represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying value of Nationwide. Further, in 2016, Countrywide completed the sale of the Tampa, Florida real property, which was treated as a capital gain transaction for tax purposes.  During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company removed a valuation allowance initially recorded against the tax loss, resulting in an additional gain on sale $187,000. Operations – Continued

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We monitor such metrics as days’ sales outstanding, inventory requirements, inventory turns, estimated future purchasing requirements 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:

 

 September 30, 2017  December 31, 2016  March 31, 2018  December 31, 2017 
Working Capital $24,490,000  $28,373,000  $24,249,000  $24,278,000

Credit facility

 

In October 2010, we entered into a Loan and SecurityCredit Agreement (aswith an affiliate of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One” or the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement, as amended from time to time, “Credit Agreement”) with an affiliateamong other things, provides the ability to borrow funds under a Revolver arrangement, which is currently set at a maximum of Capital One. The Credit Agreement provides for$16,000,000. Revolver borrowings which are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and mortgages on itsreal property. Additionally there is a $1,600,000 line available for capital expenditures. Lastly, the Credit Agreement includes a $100,000 term loan. This term loan, which is secured by our real property, (“Real Property”), inventoryremains in place such that should we and equipment.Capital One wish to facilitate future term loan borrowings more efficiently and less costly. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries.

 

At our option, Revolver borrowings will bear interest at either LIBOR (“London InterBank 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. The interest rate, either LIBOR or Base Rate, which is added to the Applicable Margin, is at our option. We are limited insubject to limitations on the number of LIBOR borrowings.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our short-term or Revolver borrowings were $3,241,000 and $1,928,000, respectively. Applicable LIBOR Margins in effect as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 1.50%. The Applicable Base Rate Margins in effect as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 0.50%.

 

Contemporaneously with the acquisition of the Jiffy business discussed in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, effective as of the April 5, 2017, the closing date of the Jiffy Acquisition (the “Second Amended and Restated Loan“2017 Agreement”), with Capital One which amended and restated the previous amendment to the Credit Agreement.

One. The Second Amended and Restated Loan2017 Agreement, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the maximum amount weit can borrow under the Revolver Commitment (as defined) from $10,000,000 to $16,000,000, subject to certain borrowing base criteria, and (2) modifying certain borrowing base criteria as well as financial and other covenants. In addition, we incurred $84,000 of debt issue costs in connection with this Amendment.

 

We provide Capital One monthly financial statements, monthly borrowing base certificates and monthly certificates of compliance with various financial covenants. We believe we are in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants. As part of the 2017 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.

We believe that should a need arise whereby the current credit facility is insufficient, we can borrow additional amounts against our real property or other assets.

The net funds of approximately $18,700,000 provided by the sale of Nationwide in 2016 were used to pay down the Revolver, Capex loans and the Term Loan A; however, we and the Bank agreed to have $100,000 remain outstanding under the Term Loan A, rather than pay it off in full, thus providing the Company and Capital One the ability to potentially increase future term loan borrowings more efficiently and at lower costs.

We funded the $7,000,000 Jiffy acquisition from Revolver borrowings. Cash flows from operations thereafter and receipt in August of the $2,100,000 escrow from the sale of Nationwide have reduced our Revolver balance to $2,334,000 at September 30, 2017. Revolver borrowings can be at either LIBOR or at the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement with Capital One. Applicable LIBOR Margins in effect at September 30, 2017 was 1.75%, compared to 1.50% at December 31, 2016. The Applicable Base Rate Margins in effect as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were 0.75% and 0.50%, respectively.

Cash flows

 

During the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, our net cash decreasedincreased to $1,205,000$1,704,000 from $3,699,000$1,241,000 at December 31, 2016.2017.   Our total bank debt at September 30, 2017, primarily driven by the Jiffy acquisition, whichMarch 31, 2018 was discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, was $2,434,000, compared to $100,000$3,341,000 and $2,028,000 at December 31, 2016.2017. The total debt to total book capitalization (total debt divided by total debt plus equity); at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was 4.9%, compared to 0.2%6.8% and at December 31, 2016.2017 was 4.2%.

 

In March 2016,February 2018, our Board of Directors approved the initiation ofdeclared a dividend policy under which the Company intends to declare quarterly cash dividends to its stockholders in the amountdividend of $0.05 per quarter. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017,share of our Board of Directors voted to approve the payment of three quarterly dividends. As such,common stock, which was paid in February 2017, May 2017, and August 2017, we paid a $0.05 per share dividend to the shareholders of record.March 2018. The aggregatetotal of such dividend paymentspayment was approximately $542,000. Our Board of Directors expects$180,000. The Company continues to maintain thisthe dividend policy; however, the future declaration of dividends under this policy going forward is dependent upon several factors, which includes such things as our overall financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our board may deemed relevant.Board of Directors.  

 

We believeOn August 9, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock over a period of up to twelve months (the “Repurchase Program”). On August 24, 2017, we will be ableannounced that, pursuant to fund the repurchase of the remaining sharesRepurchase Program, we had adopted a written trading plan in accordance with ourthe guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Since inception of the Repurchase Program, as discussed in Note 5 – Equity –through March 31, 2018, we repurchased approximately 57,000 shares of our Common Stock, Repurchase Plan.the cost of which was approximately $439,000.  During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, we repurchased 10,356 shares at a cost of approximately $82,000.

 

During the nine-monththree-month period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we used $444,000$570,000 for capital expenditures, compared to $894,000$231,000 during the same period in the prior year.  Capital expenditures for the balance of 20172018 are expected to be approximately $500,000,$1,500,000, some of which may be financed through our credit facilities with Capital One, or financed through independent third party financial institutions. The remaining 20172018 capital expenditures will likely be for machinery and equipment, tooling and computer hardware and software.

 

We believe that net cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facility should provide sufficient cash to fund our consolidated cost structure for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

Customer concentration

 

Florida Pneumatic has two customers, SearsAt March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from The Home Depot that, in the aggregate, at September 30, 2017,was 32.4% and December 31, 2016, accounted for 39.6% and 53.5%31.0%, respectively, of our total accounts receivable. To date, theseAdditionally, revenue from The Home Depot during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 23.5% and 30.8%, respectively. There were no other customers remain at or close to complying with their payment terms. Additionally, these two customers in the aggregate,that accounted for 31.3% and 35.4%, respectively,more than 10% of our consolidated revenue forduring the three and nine-monththree-month periods ended September 30, 2017, compared to 45.3% and 43.4% for the same periods in 2016.March 31, 2018 or 2017. 

 

As previously mentioned we elected not to renew an agreement with Sears, which terminated on September 30, 2017. We believe theThe loss of Sears’s revenue will havehad a negative impact on our financial condition, but willdoes not affect our ability to remain a going concern. Further, we believe the loss of The Home Depot would also negatively impact our working capital, but again, would not affect our ability to remain a going concern.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, 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'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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, 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.
