NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed 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 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 Company, these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

The unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011 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, 2011. The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with that Report.

Principles of Consolidation

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

The Company

The Company operates in two primary lines of business, or segments: (i) tools and other products (“Tools”) and (ii) hardware and accessories (“Hardware”). P&F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.”

Tools

The Company conducts its Tools business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”), which in turn currently operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”).

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the retail, industrial and automotive markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division, a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines.

Hy-Tech manufactures and distributes its own line of industrial pneumatic tools. Hy-Tech also produces over sixty types of tools, which include impact wrenches, grinders, drills, and motors. Further, it also manufactures tools to customer unique specifications. Its customers include refineries, chemical plants, power generation, heavy construction, oil and mining companies. In addition, Hy-Tech manufactures an extensive line of pneumatic tool replacement parts that are sold competitively to the original equipment manufacturer. It also manufactures and distributes high pressure stoppers for hydrostatic testing of fabricated pipe. It also produces a line of siphons. Other than a line of sockets that are imported from Israel, all Hy-Tech products are made in the United States of America.

Hardware

The Company conducts its Hardware business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Hardware Inc. (“Countrywide”). Countrywide conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”). Nationwide is a developer, importer, and manufacturer of fencing hardware, patio products, and door and window accessories including rollers, hinges, window operators, sash locks, custom zinc castings and door closers. Additionally, Nationwide also markets a line of kitchen and bath fixtures.

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 at 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, income taxes and deferred taxes. Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not adopt any new accounting standards.

NOTE 2 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

The Company’s overall methodology for evaluating transactions and relationships under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) requirements includes the following: (i) determining whether the entity meets the criteria to qualify as a VIE; and (ii) determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

If the Company identifies a VIE based on the requirements within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 810, it then performs the second step to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE by considering the following significant factors and judgments, both of which must be met:

• Whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and

• Whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company examined the facts and circumstances pertaining to an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, WM Coffman LLC (now known as Old Stairs Co (“WMC”)) to determine if it is the primary beneficiary, by considering whether or not it has the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity. The Company has concluded that it does not direct the most significant activities at WMC, nor does it have an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from WMC and, therefore, is not considered the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company did not consolidate WMC.

The Company will perform an ongoing reassessment of the facts and circumstances pertaining to WMC to determine whether or not WMC continues to be a VIE and if so, whether or not the Company may have become the primary beneficiary.

NOTE 3 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is based only on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods. Diluted earnings 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 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 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 elements of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per common share:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2012			2011
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:
Earnings from continuing operations	$	715,000		$	479,000
(Loss) from discontinued operations		(9,000	)		(17,000	)
Net income	$	706,000		$	462,000

Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share-weighted average common shares outstanding		3,616,000			3,615,000

Dilutive securities		62,000			63,000

Denominator for diluted earnings per share-weighted average common shares outstanding		3,678,000			3,678,000

At March 31, 2012 and 2011 and during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were outstanding stock options whose exercise prices were higher than the average market values of the underlying Class A Common Stock for the period. These options are antidilutive and are excluded from the computation of earnings per share. The weighted average antidilutive stock options outstanding were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2012		2011
Weighted average antidilutive stock options outstanding		584,000		514,000

NOTE 4 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation expense is attributable to the granting of, and the remaining requisite service periods of stock options. Compensation expense attributable to stock-based compensation was approximately $47,000 and $35,000 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The compensation expense is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period. However, the exercisability of the respective non-vested options, which are at pre-determined dates on a calendar year, do not necessarily correspond to the period(s) in which straight-line amortization of compensation cost is recorded. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $155,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under our stock-based plans, which it expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of one year.

The expected term was based on historical exercises and terminations. The volatility is determined based on historical stock prices. The dividend yield is 0% as the Company has historically not declared dividends and does not expect to declare any in the future.

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2002 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Current Plan”) authorizes the issuance, to employees and directors, of options to purchase a maximum of 1,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. These options must be issued within ten years of the effective date of the Current Plan and are exercisable for a ten year period from the date of grant, at prices not less than 100% of the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Incentive stock options granted to any 10% stockholder are exercisable for a five year period from the date of grant, at prices not less than 110% of the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Pursuant to the Current Plan, the Stock Option Committee has the discretion to award non-qualified stock option grants with various vesting parameters. Options have vesting periods of immediate to three years. In the event options granted contain a vesting schedule over a period of years, the Company recognizes compensation cost for these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Current Plan, which terminates in 2012, is the successor to the Company’s 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plan”).

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding options during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012:

	Option Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2012		655,124	$	6.50		5.2	$	31,000
Granted		—		—				—
Exercised		2,000		2.17
Forfeited		—		—
Expired		—		—
Outstanding, March 31, 2012		653,124	$	6.51		5.1	$	59,000

Vested and expected to vest, March 31, 2012		478,457	$	7.42		4.0	$	20,000

The following is a summary of changes in non-vested shares for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

	Option Shares		Weighted Average Grant- Date Fair Value
Non-vested shares, January 1, 2012		174,667	$	2.43
Granted		—		—
Vested		—		—
Forfeited		—		—
Non-vested shares, March 31, 2012		174,667	$	2.43

The number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for stock options available for issuance under the Current Plan as of March 31, 2012 was 302,712. All of the options outstanding at March 31, 2012 were issued under the Current Plan.

Amortization expense for each of the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 2013 through March 31, 2017 is estimated to be as follows: 2013 - $377,000 ; 2014 - $233,000 ; 2015 - $233,000; 2016 - $230,000 and 2017 - $175,000. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 7.66 years at March 31, 2012 and 8.16 years at December 31, 2011.

NOTE 9 - DEBT

P&F, along with Florida Pneumatic, Hy-Tech and Nationwide, as borrowers, entered into a Credit Agreement, (“Credit Agreement”) with Capital One Leverage Finance Corporation, as agent (“COLF”). The Credit Agreement, entered into in October 2010, has a three-year term, with maximum borrowings of $22,000,000 at that time. The Credit Agreement provides for a Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolver”) with a maximum borrowing of $15,910,000. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the balances owing on the Revolver were $6,324,000 and $5,648,000, respectively. Direct borrowings under the Revolver are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, mortgages on the Company’s real property located in Cranberry, PA, Jupiter, FL and Tampa, FL (“Real Property”), inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). Revolver borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) or the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus the currently applicable margin rates. Beginning April 1, 2011, the loan margins applicable to borrowings on the Revolver are determined based upon the computation of total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

On November 21, 2011, the Company and COLF entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the applicable loan margins for Revolver borrowings by 0.25% or 0.50%, depending on the applicable leverage ratio, (ii) increased the maximum aggregate amount of permitted Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for 2012 and 2013 from an aggregate of $1,000,000 to an aggregate of $2,500,000 and (iii) established a $2,500,000 Capital Expenditure loan commitment by COLF, pursuant to which COLF may make one or more Capex Loans (as defined in the Amendment) to the Company under the terms set forth in the Amendment, a (“Capex term loan”). As such, pursuant to the Amendment, the total commitment by COLF for the Credit Agreement increased from $22,000,000 to $24,500,000. Further, as a result of the Amendment, the applicable loan margins range from 2.50% to 3.50% for LIBOR borrowings and from 1.50% to 2.50% for borrowings at Base Rate. Loan margins added to Revolver borrowings at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively, for borrowings at LIBOR and the Base Rate.

The Company is required to provide, among other things, monthly financial statements, monthly borrowing base certificates as well as certificates of compliance of various financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants. As part of the Credit Agreement, if an event of default occurs, the interest rate would increase by two percent per annum during the period of default.

The Credit Facility also contains a $6,090,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”), which is secured by mortgages on the real property, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The Term Loan amortizes approximately $34,000 each month with a balloon payment at maturity of the Credit Agreement. The balance due on the Term Loan at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $5,549,000 and $5,650,000, respectively. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to make prepayments, to be applied to the Term Loan, of 25% of excess annual cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, or in the event of a sale of any real estate assets. Based on 2011 excess cash flows, the Company will make a payment of approximately $633,000 in the second quarter of 2012. This amount is included in current maturities of long-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Term Loan borrowings bear interest at LIBOR or the prime interest rate plus the currently applicable margin rates, which were 5.75% and 4.75%, respectively, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

In accordance with the Amendment, the Company, in March 2012, borrowed $380,000 as a Capex term loan. This obligation amortizes approximately $6,000 each month over a five-year period, with a balloon payment at maturity of the Credit Agreement. This Capex term Loan bears interest at LIBOR or the prime interest rate plus the currently applicable margin rates, which were 2.50% and 3.50%, respectively, at March 31, 2012.

In April 2010, as part of an amendment to the Company’s prior credit agreement, the Company was required to obtain subordinated loans of $750,000, (the “Subordinated Loans”). These Subordinated Loans bear interest at 8% per annum. The Subordinated Loans were provided by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), in the amount of $250,000, and an unrelated party, in the amount of $500,000, each with a maturity date of October 25, 2013. During 2011, pursuant to a subordination agreement with COLF, the principal amount owed to the unrelated third party was paid in full from excess cash flows, as defined in such subordination agreement.

NOTE 10—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The president of one of the Company’s subsidiaries is part owner of one of the subsidiary’s vendors. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company purchased approximately $199,000 and $231,000, respectively of product from this vendor.

NOTE 11 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

P&F operates in two primary lines of business, or segments: (i) tools and other products (“Tools”) and (ii) hardware and accessories (“Hardware”).

Business

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

P&F conducts its business operations through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”) and Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). P&F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company. P&F operates in two primary lines of business, or segments: (i) tools and other products (“Tools”) and (ii) hardware and accessories (“Hardware”).

Tools

Continental operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”).

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the retail, industrial and automotive markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines.

Hy-Tech manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and parts for industrial applications. Hy-Tech manufactures approximately sixty types of industrial pneumatic tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $300 to $7,000, under the names “ATP”, “Thaxton”, “THOR” and “Eureka”, as well as under the trade names or trademarks of other private label customers. This line of products includes grinders, drills, saws, impact wrenches and pavement breakers. Hy-Tech’s products are sold to distributors and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers’ representatives. Users of Hy-Tech’s tools include refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, the heavy construction industry, oil and mining companies and heavy industry. Hy-Tech’s products are sold off the shelf, and are also produced to customer’s orders. The business is not seasonal, but it may be subject to significant periodic changes resulting from scheduled shutdowns in refineries, power generation facilities and chemical plants.

Hardware

We conduct our Hardware business through Countrywide. Countrywide conducts its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”).

Nationwide is 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. Nationwide’s products are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers’ representatives to distributors, retailers and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers. End users of Nationwide’s products include contractors, home builders, pool and patio distributors, OEM/private label customers and general consumers. Additionally, Nationwide also markets a kitchen and bath product line. Nationwide currently out-sources the manufacturing of approximately 90% of its product with several overseas factories, while retaining design, quality control, and patent and trademark control. There are redundant sources for most products. Nationwide manufactures approximately 10% of its products sold including rollers, hinges and pool enclosure products at its facility in Tampa, Florida.

Overview

When comparing the first quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2011, we, among other things:

increased consolidated revenue more than $864,000 or 6.4%;

improved consolidated gross margins 1.1 percentage points to 39.2%

increased net income from continuing operations to $715,000 from $479,000 – an increase of 49.3% and,

improved diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to $0.19 from $0.13.

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. Our Tools segment focuses on a wide array of customer types; it does not rely as much on specific economic measures or indicators. The Tools segment tends to track the general economic conditions of the United States, industrial production and general retail sales, all of which have, for the most part, only slight improvement during 2012 compared to 2011. The key economic measures for Hardware group were the general economic conditions of the United States and to a lesser extent the housing market.

Another 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 dollar in relation to the Taiwan dollar, as we purchase a significant portion of our products from Taiwan. Purchases from Chinese sources are made in U.S. dollars. However, if the Chinese currency, the Renminbi, were to be revalued against the dollar, there could be a significant negative impact on the cost of our products.

Operating Measures

Key operating measures we use to manage our operating segments 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 for each operating segment.

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; 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 detailed sections for each operating segment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated condensed financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (“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 estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and warranty reserves. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those discussed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The table below provides an analysis of our net revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Revenue

	Three-months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011		Variance			Variance
						$			%
Tools

Consolidated	$	14,317,000	$	13,453,000	$	864,000			6.4	%

All revenues are generated in U.S. dollars and are not impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Unless otherwise stated below, we believe that our relationships with all our key customers, given the current economic conditions, remain good. There were no major trends or uncertainties that had, or we could reasonably expect could have a material impact on our revenue. There was no unusual or infrequent event, transaction or any significant economic change that materially affected our results of operations.

Tools

Florida Pneumatic markets its air tool products to two primary sectors within the pneumatic tool market; retail and industrial/catalog. Additionally, Florida Pneumatic also markets, to a much lesser degree, air tools to the automotive market. It also generates revenue from its Berkley products line as well as a line of air filters and other OEM parts. An analysis of Florida Pneumatic revenue for 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

	Three-Months Ended March 31,
	2012					2011
Revenue analysis – Florida Pneumatic	Revenue		Percent of revenue			Revenue		Percent of revenue
Retail – major customer	$	2,460,000		45.4	%	$	3,212,000		57.6	%
Industrial/catalog		2,009,000		37.1			1,545,000		27.7
Automotive		305,000		5.6			271,000		4.9
Other		643,000		11.9			546,000		9.8
Total	$	5,417,000		100.0	%	$	5,574,000		100.0	%

During the first quarter of 2012 Florida Pneumatic continued its growth in the higher gross margin, industrial/catalog sector. As a result, it was able to increase revenue in this sector $464,000 or 30.0%, when compared to the first quarter of 2011. We intend to continue to expand our marketing efforts in the industrial/catalog market. Florida Pneumatic also increased revenue at its automotive line $34,000 or 12.5%. Other revenue, which includes revenue from its Berkley, air filters and OEM lines, in the aggregate increased $97,000 or 17.8%. However, when comparing the first quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2011, revenue from its major retail customer declined $752,000 or 23.4%. This decline was due primarily to the initial roll-out of a program during the first quarter of 2011 to a new retail partner of our major customer, which did not repeat during the first quarter of 2012.

Hy-Tech focuses primarily on the industrial sector of the pneumatic tools market. Hy-Tech creates quality replacement parts for pneumatic tools, markets its own value/added line of air tools as well as distributes a complementary line of sockets (“ATP”).

	Three-Months Ended March 31,
	2012					2011
Revenue analysis – Hy-Tech	Revenue		Percent of revenue			Revenue		Percent of revenue
ATP	$	2,624,000		61.7	%	$	2,926,000		70.6	%
Hy-Tech Machine		403,000		9.5			512,000		12.3
Major Customer		1,095,000		25.7			594,000		14.3
Other		133,000		3.1			114,000		2.8
Total	$	4,255,000		100.0	%	$	4,146,000		100.0	%

As noted in the table above, Hy-Tech increased its revenue $109,000 or 2.6% when comparing the first quarter of 2012 to 2011. Hy-Tech’s overall improvement is due primarily to increased product demand from its major customer; resulting in an increase in revenue from this customer of $501,000 or 84.3%, when comparing the first quarter of 2012 to 2011. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline of $302,000 in revenue from sales of our ATP product line. Additionally, Hy-Tech Machine products, which primarily focus on mining, construction and industrial manufacturing markets (“Hy-Tech Machine”) also declined by $109,000 or 21.3% when comparing the first quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2011.

Hardware

Our Hardware segment, which currently consists of only Nationwide, generates revenue from the sale of fencing and gate hardware, kitchen and bath accessories, OEM products and patio hardware.

	Three-Months Ended March 31,
	2012					2011
Revenue analysis – Nationwide	Revenue		Percent of revenue			Revenue		Percent of revenue
Fence and gate hardware	$	3,078,000		66.3	%	$	2,402,000		64.3	%
Kitchen and bath		846,000		18.2			760,000		20.4
OEM		433,000		9.3			367,000		9.8
Patio		288,000		6.2			204,000		5.5
Total	$	4,645,000		100.0	%	$	3,733,000		100.0	%

When comparing the first quarter of 2012 to 2011, Nationwide increased its fence and gate hardware product line revenue by $676,000 or 28.1%. This improvement is due primarily to the introduction of new products, as well as expanded marketing efforts, which effectively has increased the size of its customer base. Nationwide intends to continue its current growth strategy which is to develop new products and accessories, as well as to continue to expand its national market campaign. Revenue generated from its Patio products line, improved $84,000 or 41.2%. Despite the ongoing weak market conditions for its kitchen & bath line, when comparing the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, Nationwide increased kitchen and bath product line revenue $86,000 or 11.3%. Lastly, OEM revenue increased $66,000 or 18.0%. With fence and gate hardware being the primary contributor to Nationwide’s increase in revenue, we will continue to focus more attention on new product development and market expansion to this product. We are also focusing on upgrading our kitchen and bath product line.

Gross Margins / Profits

	March 31,						Change
	2012			2011			Amount		%
Tools	$	3,832,000		$	3,711,000		$	121,000		3.3	%
As percent of respective revenue		39.6	%		38.2	%		1.4 pts.

As percent of respective revenue		39.2	%		38.1	%		1.1 pts.

Tools

Gross margins generated by our Tools segment during the first quarter of 2012 increased 1.4 percentage points when compared to the same period in 2011. Specifically, Florida Pneumatic’s gross margin increased 1.5 percentage points, with gross profit improving $29,000, and Hy-Tech’s gross margin improved 1.1 percentage points with gross margin increasing $92,000. The improvement in gross margin at Florida Pneumatic is primarily due to increased industrial/catalog revenue during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The improvement in gross margin at Hy-Tech is the result of product mix as well as improved cost of manufacturing.

Hardware

Gross margin generated during the first quarter of 2012 by our Hardware segment improved 0.5 percentage point when compared to the same period in 2011. This increase is primarily due to product mix. The increase in gross profit of $367,000 was due primarily to increased revenue during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

Selling and 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 first quarter of 2012, our SG&A was $4,731,000, compared to $4,423,000, for the same three-month period in 2011. Significant line items contributing to the increase include; (i) an increase of $256,000 in compensation, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives, associated payroll taxes and employee benefits, (ii) primarily the result of improved revenue, our variable expenses, which includes commissions, freight out, travel and entertainment and advertising costs increased an aggregate amount of $88,000, (iii) an increase in our professional fees of $52,000, and (iv) an increase in our depreciation and amortization expense of $28,000. These increases were partially offset by among other things, reductions in warranty, and certain promotional expenses which, in the aggregate were $86,000.

Interest

Our net interest expense during the first quarter of 2012 was $142,000, compared to $221,000 for the same period in the prior year. The most significant item affecting interest expense this quarter was a reduction in our short term revolver borrowings during the comparative three-month periods ending March 31, 2012 and 2011. The average balance of short term borrowings during the first quarter of 2012 was $6,120,000, compared to $9,996,000 during the same three-month period in 2011. As a result, interest expense attributable to short term borrowing decreased to $47,000 during the first quarter of 2012, from $104,000, incurred in during the first quarter of 2011. In 2011 we repaid the balance owed on our debt obligation to the sellers of Hy-Tech, as a result, there was no interest expense attributable to this debt in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $11,000 in the first quarter of 2011. Further, during 2011, we repaid $500,000 of the Subordinated Loans (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below), resulting in an interest savings of $10,000.

Income Taxes

We had an effective tax rate of 3.1% applied to our income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 due to the utilization of net operations loss carry-forwards that can be applied to current year income. We currently believe that this effective tax rate will be applied for the remainder of 2012, due to the availability of additional net operating loss carry-forwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash flows from operations can be somewhat cyclical, typically with the greatest demand in the second and third quarters followed by positive cash flows in the first and fourth quarter as receivables and inventories trend down. We monitor average days sales outstanding, inventory turns, estimated future purchasing requirements and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs and evaluate return on assets employed.

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

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Working Capital of continuing operations	$	14,800,000	$	14,070,000
Current Ratio of continuing operations		2.18 to 1.0		2.15 to 1.0
Shareholders’ Equity	$	29,912,000	$	29,155,000

We entered into a Credit Agreement, (“Credit Agreement”) with Capital One Leverage Finance Corporation, as agent (“COLF”). The Credit Agreement, entered into in October 2010, has a three-year term, with maximum borrowings of $22,000,000 at that time. The Credit Agreement provides for a Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolver”) with a maximum borrowing of $15,910,000. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the balances owing on the Revolver were $6,324,000 and $5,648,000, respectively. Direct borrowings under the Revolver are secured by our accounts receivable, mortgages on our real property located in Cranberry, PA, Jupiter, FL and Tampa, FL, inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Revolver borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) or the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus the currently applicable margin rates. Beginning April 1, 2011, the loan margins applicable to borrowings on the Revolver are determined based upon the computation of total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

On November 21, 2011, we and COLF entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, (the “Amendment”). The Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the applicable loan margins for Revolver borrowings by 0.25% or 0.50%, depending on the applicable leverage ratio, (ii) increased the maximum aggregate amount of permitted Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for 2012 and 2013 from an aggregate of $1,000,000 to an aggregate of $2,500,000 and (iii) established a $2,500,000 Capital Expenditure loan commitment by COLF, pursuant to which COLF may make one or more Capex Loans (as defined in the Amendment) to us under the terms set forth in the Amendment, a (“Capex term loan”). As such, pursuant to the Amendment, the total commitment by COLF for the Credit Agreement increased from $22,000,000 to $24,500,000. Further, as a result of the Amendment, the applicable loan margins range from 2.50% to 3.50% for LIBOR borrowings and from 1.50% to 2.50% for borrowings at Base Rate. Loan margins added to Revolver borrowings at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively, for borrowings at LIBOR and the Base Rate.

The Credit Facility also contains a $6,090,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”), which is secured by mortgages on the real property, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The Term Loan amortizes approximately $34,000 each month with a balloon payment at maturity of the Credit Agreement. The balance due on the Term Loan at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $5,549,000 and $5,650,000, respectively. The Credit Agreement requires us to make prepayments, to be applied to the Term Loan, of 25% of excess annual cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, or in the event of a sale of any real estate assets. Based on 2011 excess cash flows, we will make a payment of approximately $633,000 in April 2012. This amount is included in current maturities of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. Term Loan borrowings bear interest at LIBOR or the prime interest rate plus the currently applicable margin rates, which were 5.75% and 4.75%, respectively, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

In March 2012, in accordance with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement discussed above, we borrowed $380,000 as a Capex term loan. This obligation amortizes approximately $6,000 each month over a five year period, with a balloon payment at maturity of the Credit Agreement. This Capex term Loan bears interest at LIBOR or the prime interest rate plus the currently applicable margin rates, which were 2.50% and 3.50%, respectively, at March 31, 2012.

In April 2010, as part of an amendment to a prior credit agreement, we were required to obtain subordinated loans of $750,000, (the “Subordinated Loans”), of which $250,000 was provided by our Chief Executive Officer. These Subordinated Loans bear interest at 8% per annum. The Subordinated Loans also included $500,000 which was provided by an unrelated party. These Subordinated Loans each mature on October 25, 2013. During 2011, pursuant to a subordination agreement with COLF, the principal amount owed to the unrelated third party was paid in full from excess cash flows, as defined in such subordination agreement.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, our cash increased $135,000 to $578,000 from $443,000 at December 31, 2011. Our total bank debt at March 31, 2012 was $12,253,000, compared to $11,298,000 at December 31, 2011. The increase is due primarily to the Capex term loan of $380,000 plus, as described above, plus an increase in our Revolver borrowings of $674,000. The aforementioned also contributed to the percent of the total debt to total book capitalization (total debt divided by total debt plus equity) increasing slightly to 29.5% at March 31, 2012, compared to 28.4% at December 31, 2011.

We had net cash of $7,000 provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, compared to $118,000 during the same period in the prior year. Capital spending was approximately $620,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, compared to $183,000 during the same period in the prior year. Capital expenditures for the balance of 2012 are expected to be approximately $1,300,000, some of which may be financed through our credit facilities or financed through independent third party financial institutions. The remaining 2012 capital expenditures will primarily be for expansion of existing product lines and replacement of equipment.

Significant Customer

We have one customer in the Tools segment that accounted for approximately 17.2% of consolidated revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and 24.6% of consolidated accounts receivable as of March 31, 2012. The products we sell to this customer are part of a major brand and we believe the brand has extreme value in today’s marketplace. Generally, our revenue from retail customers increases to peak levels during the holiday season shipping period, which is typically during the fourth calendar quarter. During the first quarter of 2012 this customer reduced its December 31, 2011 accounts receivable balance of $2,816,000 to $1,924,000, which, but for special orders or other seasonal promotions, approximates the average accounts receivable balance. To date, this customer continues, with minor exceptions, to be current in its payments.

We believe that, should this customer be unable to make any future payments, it would likely negatively impact our working capital, but would not affect our ability to remain a going concern. We are currently investigating various means by which we can protect our accounts receivable balance with this customer.

As previously noted, inventory is also a component of the collateral against which we are able to borrow funds under the terms of the Revolver. While we hold inventory in our warehouse for this customer, we believe the vast majority of items can be repackaged and sold to other customers, without significant additional expense. Since this inventory can be sold to others, we do not believe our ability to borrow funds under the terms of the Revolver would be materially adversely affected in the event this customer is unable to purchase such inventory. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had approximately $1,722,000 and $1,700,000, respectively, of inventory for this customer.

We and COLF continue to monitor the financial status and creditworthiness of this customer. However, there can be no assurance that COLF will continue to permit borrowings against this customer’s eligible accounts receivable or the inventory we hold for this customer.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-40 (“ASC 810”), as of June 30, 2010, we deconsolidated WMC and therefore do not include its financial position in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. We believe that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries other than WMC are legally responsible for any of the liabilities belonging to WMC. Until such time as these obligations have been resolved, either directly with the creditors, discharged by a court of law, or otherwise eliminated, WMC is required to maintain these obligations on its books, which at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were approximately $1.4 million. We will, as required by ASC 810, re-evaluate the facts and circumstances regarding whether or not we should consolidate WMC at each future reporting period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
